50 Cent Moving Penis Enlargement Lawsuit To Mediation

by

50 Cent is taking his penis enlargement-related lawsuit against Perfection Plastic Surgery (PPS) to mediation, AllHipHop reports. According to court documents, Fif and his legal team are set to meet PPS founder Angela Kogan on February 28th. Moreover, 50 filed a motion requesting mediation, which was evidently approved.

Furthermore, the documents read: “Plaintiff Curtis J. Jackson, III p/k/a 50 Cent (‘Jackson’) and Defendants Angela Kogan (‘Kogan’) and Perfection Plastic Surgery, Inc. d/b/a Perfection Plastic Surgery & MedSpa (“MedSpa”)1 will hold the mediation conference in this matter before Mark E. Stein, Esq. on Tuesday, February 28, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. by video conference. The mediator and Jackson, Kogan and MedSpa have agreed to this date.”

While this case developed since last year, some might not know how the whole “penis enlargement” thing comes into play. 50 sued Kogan last September for using a picture of him to promote (and claim he’d undergone) penis enhancement surgery. Later, the defendants said that 50 should be suing The Shade Room for making similar allegations. Last week, his legal team filed the paperwork to include TSR in the lawsuit.

Moreover, the Queens legend claims that Kogan used a picture of him to promote her business. Moreover, said promotion was under false pretenses that he underwent enlargement procedures. Also, he said the gossip site escalated things by subjecting him to “ridicule.”

“By publishing the article and falsely stating or implying that Jackson had received plastic surgery procedures from Kogan or MedSpa, or the penile enhancement or other procedures described in the article, TSR committed a clear act of defamation,” the “In Da Club” rapper and his legal team stated.

“The article was particularly egregious because TSR believed it was publishing Jackson’s private medical information, which is not newsworthy or a subject of public interest,” they continued. “Kogan and MedSpa now claim that The Shade Room unilaterally took and used the photo of Jackson for the article without Kogan or MedSpa’s permission. Plaintiff separately seeks compensatory damages as well as injunctive relief, a retraction and an apology from TSR.”

If both parties fail to settle the case during the mediation, it will go to trial in July of 2023.

Still, what do you think of 50 Cent taking his penis enlargement lawsuit to mediation? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below? Also, as always, come back to HNHH for the newest updates in this developing story.

50 Cent Celebrates Lil Meech’s Cleared Gun Charges

by

50 Cent just reacted to authorities BMF star Lil Meech’s cleared gun charges from an arrest at a December airport. What’s more is that the Queens rapper was much more to-the-point than usual in his Instagram jabs. Clearly it’s no laughing matter, as the 22-year-old actor faced a felony charge.

Furthermore, his attorneys called the whole ordeal an innocent mistake. According to TMZ, the Broward County State Attorney’s Office dropped its original felony charge against Meech of “introducing a firearm into the sterile area of the airport.” Moreover, said arrest occurred on December 13th of last year. After the whole ordeal, the actor got some bling to commemorate his breakout role.

Police arrested Lil Meech, real name Demetrius Flenory Jr., after airport security discovered a gun in his carry-on luggage. Although all signs pointed to trouble, Meech and his team clarified that the gun and bag belonged to his bodyguard. Reportedly, the bodyguard tried to make this clear, but officials paid him no mind.

Since then, Flenory Jr.’s attorney Bradford Cohen presented prosecutors with a purchase receipt, gun case, and license to carry that disproved his client’s ownership of the confiscated materials. Also, he explained that, given the similarities between Meech’s bag and his bodyguard’s, they mixed things up at the airport.

Moreover, authorities decided to retract from potentially charging the actor with a misdemeanor, based on evidence presented by the “defense.” Even with some hiccups along the way, it seems last month smoothed over well enough for Meech.

Still, 50 was much quicker than the court with his reaction, response, and post-clearance moves. “Ok that’s out the way, now let’s go!” he wrote. Then, his BMF star thanked him in the comments. “Your loyalty is unmatched. I love you and i thank u for everything,” he wrote. Both starts are looking forward to the show’s third season, which was renewed earlier this week.

However, what do you think about 50 Cent’s reaction to Lil Meech’s dropped gun charges? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest from 50 Cent and his TV universes.

King Von Allegedly Killed Boss Trell With Help From T. Roy, Says FBG Duck’s Mom

by

FBG Duck’s mother claimed that King Von allegedly killed Boss Trell with help from his friend T. Roy. Moreover, this news comes soon after an FBI witness said that the late Chicago rapper put a hit out on Duck. Still, a lot of information on these incidents is unclear, something that Duck’s mother acknowledged.

“Von allegedly killed Trell, him and T. Roy,” she stated in a video clip. “Only the streets know and only the people who did it know, so that’s why I’m saying ‘allegedly’. November the 6th, my nephew made a post and he said: ‘I’m tired of this gang banging s**t…’ one of them posts he said. But the fact he said that November the 6th, this man allegedly killed him on the 8th, and then died seven years later, eight years later on the day that one of the people he killed made a post. I’m spiritual with this s**t, okay? And once we gone, we gone.”

Moreover, Duck’s mother’s testimony is eerie and heartfelt. Even though a lot of details are still hazy, millions still mourn those who died in these disputes. However, many pointed to an old tweet of Von’s as an indication of things smoothing out.

“Me and Duck settled Our differences right before he passed,” he wrote after Duck passed. “We was talking bout bringing everybody together as a whole n changing da community for the better. Imma still stand on dat shit. Every step of the way imma be thinking of u. Even doe u dissed my dead homies and family.”

Still, Duck’s mother claimed that these sentiments were untrue. Even after these cases revealed so much pain, many continue to honor the positive legacies these people left behind. For example, King Von’s estate recently dropped a video for his track “Get It Done” on what would’ve been his 28th birthday.

However, what do you think of FBG Duck’s mother’s allegations that King Von killed Boss Trell with T. Roy? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay logged into HNHH for the latest updates on this case.

Young Dolph’s Murder Suspect Released From Jail, According To Officials

by

Over a year after the tragic murder of Young Dolph, one of his alleged killers is no longer in jail. FOX13 Memphis shared the news on Friday (January 20), revealing that Shundale Barnett is presently a free man.

The accused criminal was arrested this time last year at an Indiana gas station in connection with the gruesome killing. At the same time, his believed co-conspirator, Justin Johnson, was also taken into police custody. According to U.S. Marshals, the former was in the passenger seat of the car during the shooting, while the latter was the driver.

Barnett actually bonded out of the Tarrant County Jail in Fort Worth, Texas on Christmas Eve. Before that, he spent time in the Clay County Jail.

As AllHipHop notes, a third suspect, Cornelius Smith appeared in Shelby County criminal court yesterday. He and Johnson are both looking at new charges of conspiracy in the late rapper’s death. A conviction could mean anywhere from 15 to 60 more years in prison for the men.

Aside from the recently added charges, both alleged killers are facing first-degree murder, weapons possession, and theft. Barnett, for his part, is an accessory after the fact.

As his friends, family, and fans continue to mourn their loss, those Dolph left behind are doing their part to keep his legacy alive. Earlier this month, a pop-up museum came to New York City, honouring the fallen star.

“The goal of the pop-up museum is to showcase the character of a leader and businessman, and to highlight the journey of someone whose early beginnings may mirror that of many young kids and entrepreneurs starting, so that they may draw inspiration to keep pushing on their own endeavours,” PRE CEO, Daddy-O explained in a statement.

Back in December, Paper Route Empire delivered Young Dolph’s first posthumous project. Key Glock, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Big Moochie Grape, and SNUPE BANDZ all appear on the album.

Alleged Idaho Killer Bryan Kohberger Previously Posted Chilling Raps On SoundCloud: Report

by

True crime fanatics are still desperately waiting for answers regarding last year’s University of Idaho stabbings. Now that Bryan Kohberger is in police custody, he’s waiving his right to a speedy trial. This means it will be some time until further details officially come out due to a gag order.

Internet sleuths have been obsessing over the investigation. Thousands of people uncovering hints and clues online promptly sent them to the police. Since the accused killer’s identity was shared with the public, they’ve turned their efforts to digging up as much history on the 28-year-old as possible.

In this handout provided by Monroe County Correctional Facility, 28-year-old Bryan Christopher Kohberger is seen in a booking photo after he was arrested on December 30, 2022 in Pennsylvania. Kohberger has been accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students – Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21 – in an off-campus house on November 13, 2022 in Moscow, Idaho.

At this time, Kohberger has unofficial connections to a number of different social media profiles. There’s a Facebook account that was actively participating in a group of users attempting to solve the gruesome Moscow quadruple murder. A Spotify account with concerning playlists on which he was apparently following some of his victims is also making rounds.

As it turns out, the criminology major didn’t just enjoy listening to music. He also created and uploaded some of his own on SoundCloud. Earlier this month, the New York Post uncovered a profile on the website believed to belong to the alleged murderer. Its username is “Exarr,” and 11 years ago they posted an original song called “Rise up instrumental – test.”

“You are not my equal / You are evil but I’m devil,” the man believed to be Kohberger raps on the track. “End your life you get no sequel / Leave your loved ones crying like some seagulls,” he later adds. The chilling release ends with “Don’t f*ck with us / You underestimate.”

The same username from SoundCloud appears on Kohberger’s accounts on other online forums. It’s possible that this may later appear in court as evidence. However, the trial isn’t due to begin until this summer.

Check out the video below for more recent updates on Bryan Kohberger and the University of Idaho murders. RIP.

Lil Meech Facing No Charges After December Airport Arrest

by

Lil Meech is best known for his work with 50 Cent on BMF. Last December, though, he made headlines for a different reason entirely. Mid-way through the month, the 22-year-old was at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Unfortunately, TSA agents uncovered a 9MM gun in a carry-on bag he put through the security scanner.

According to TMZ, it was actually the actor’s bodyguard who owns both the luggage and the weapon. At the time of the incident, airport employees were informed of the mix-up. They chose to ignore the guard and bust Meech because he had placed the problematic bag on the belt himself.

The Detroit-born star worked with Bradford Cohen on the case. The attorney was able to present indisputable evidence to Broward County prosecutors that the pistol belongs to the bodyguard. He shared the weapon’s purchase receipt, holding case, and permit for the firearm.

Additionally, the celebrity lawyer noted that Meech and his bodyguard have similar tastes in luggage. While they were rushing to catch a flight, the Taurus star accidentally grabbed his staff’s bag, apparently leaving his behind.

The Broward County State Attorney’s Office has since confirmed to TMZ that prosecutors are declining to file a misdemeanour charge against the rapper. This decision comes “because of the facts and evidence available in the case, and the statements made by [Lil Meech] and his employee.”

Upon hearing news of their friend’s arrest last month, famous faces like 50 Cent couldn’t help but tease the young star over his arrest. “What the f*ck! Lil Meech didn’t hear them say cut,” the “Candy Shop” rapper joked in a since-deleted post.

Power star Michael Rainey Jr. chimed in with, “When [tryna] prove ‘BMF’ is more realistic than ‘Power’ goes wrong.”

In other news Meech recently revealed exactly how much cash he dropped on his iconic BMF chain. The tea was spilt during the actor’s appearance on GQ‘s “On The Rocks” series.

Cardi B Shares Community Service Selfie: “Obey The Law”

by

One thing about Cardi B? She’s always going to manage to keep us laughing. Even though she’s in some legal trouble after failing to complete her 15-day community service sentence, the mother of two still got an extension from the judge – and was looking fabulous while doing it.

Earlier this month, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper found herself back in court. After pleading guilty to misdemeanour assault charges last fall, she had to complete half a month’s worth of public aid. It remains unclear specifically why she failed to meet the requirement. However, it’s been said that mourning Takeoff’s untimely death may have had something to do with it.

Thankfully, Cardi now has until March 1st to finish her sentence. If she failed to follow through this time, jail could be in the cards. Needless to say, the 30-year-old wasn’t willing to take that risk.

On Friday (January 20) morning, the Bronx baddie shared a mirror selfie flaunting her luxurious outfit of the day. Her long black hair is worn down in loose waves, and a ribbed, beige sweater hugs her curves. Bardi’s bottom half is clad with patchwork jeans and a pair of Margiela Tabi boots.

“Second day of community service,” she wrote in the caption. “Obey the law.” By the goofy look on the Grammy winner’s face, you can tell that she’s doing her best to make light of the situation.

While her Twitter feed has obviously been active today, it’s been a few days since Cardi posted on her Instagram. Earlier this week, she dropped off a photo dump that finds her in hot pink glam with glamorous honey-blonde hair.

Jason Lee appears in some of the later photos. The Invasion of Privacy artist is the first guest to appear on his new REVOLT podcast. During their interview, the fashionista got candid about her own plastic surgery journey, as well as what celebrities she’s gotten recommendations from.

Additionally, Cardi B revealed how she and Offset found out about Takeoff’s passing. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Lawyer Claims YSL Defendant Was Tased In Holding Cell

by

More information is being shared about Young Thug and Kahlieff Adams’s drug exchange in court. Yesterday (January 20), a video surfaced showing Adams walking past the rapper’s table in court before slipping something into his hand. It was discovered to be a Percocet, and quickly, Adams was searched. It’s reported that he also had marijuana and tobacco products. Adams is also said to have several additional counts added to his charges.

Later, Thug’s attorney said the rapper didn’t know anything about a drug deal in court and didn’t orchestrate anything with Adams.

“Defendant Adams was taken to Grady Hospital after he appeared to ingest other items of contraband that he held on his person, in an effort to conceal the extent of his crimes within the courtroom,” the District Attorneys’ Office wrote in court documents.

A lawyer for another co-defendant also submitted paperwork of their own, and they want a full investigation into the incident. Their version of events slightly differs from what the D.A. shared.

“Shortly after Mr. Adams is taken to the back holding cells,” they wrote. “While in the Courtroom the undersigned Attorney, his client, and several other individuals could hear loud banging and yelling coming from the holding area where Mr. Adams was being held. While the disturbance took place several officers ran into the courtroom and went into the holding area where Mr. Adams was being held.”

It was said that “at least two officers” removed “their belts and firearms” before rushing into the holding area. The lawyer called the sound “distressing,” and when Adams’s attorney asked to check on her client, she was denied. Following the incident, “all Defendants were removed from the Court room.”

“According to the State Mr. Adams was transported to Hospital because he allegedly ingested the contraband, however upon information and belief, Mr. Adams was also transported because he needed medical assistance after being tased several times by officers.”

Young Thug’s Alleged Courtroom Drug Deal Video Has Twitter Questioning Everything

by

Young Thug has spent the majority of the last year behind bars. Ahead of the YSL RICO trial’s official start earlier this month, several of his co-defendants (including Gunna) copped plea deals for themselves. This leaves the label’s head to face the music from the judge chiefly on his own. Unfortunately, a recent courtroom incident has left some speculating on whether the So Much Fun hitmaker will walk away as a free man.

On Thursday (January 19), footage accordingly began circulating online showing co-defendant Kahlieff Adams hand-delivering a Percocet pill to Thugger. As Complex reports, a deputy subsequently took note of the transfer. He promptly confronted the rapper, who evidently didn’t hesitate to hand over the pill.

Afterward, Adams underwent a search for other drugs. Authorities uncovered more Percocet pills, as well as marijuana and tobacco. The latter two were earlier “wrapped in plastic and food seasonings to conceal the odour.”

It’s also been said that the same co-defendant ingested additional contraband in an effort to conceal it. Officers brought him to Grady Hospital, and prosecutors filed a motion asking the court to “make a finding of fact that Court was delayed on January 18, 2023, because of the actions of Defendant Williams and Defendant Adams.”

Young Thug’s lawyer, Keith Adams, has since shared a statement on his client’s behalf. “The reality is Mr. Williams had nothing to do with what went on in the courtroom yesterday,” the attorney later told the media. “One of the co-defendants, on his way to the restroom, attempted to pass something to Mr. Williams, who immediately turned it over to the deputy. Did not know what it was, turned it over to the deputy right away.”

Of course, the footage of the courtroom drama has the internet asking all kinds of questions. While some are convinced that the Atlanta-based artist is a part of a set-up, others believe he may actually be enjoying his time in jail.

“This man Young Thug got caught being passed a perc IN COURT,” one person specifically wrote. “At some time we must revisit the whole ‘Free You’ rhetoric and change it to ‘Wish You The Best, Hope You Learn.’”

Others chimed in with funny reaction videos displaying how they believe interactions between the rapper and his lawyers may have gone earlier this week.
