Twitter Is Being Sued For Not Paying Rent

by

Although his Twitter purchase officially went down in October, Elon Musk is continuing to be all over the headlines.

However, the Tesla CEO is certainly no stranger to being in the middle of controversy.

According to The Guardian, the social media platform is now being sued over missed rent payments. The landlord, Columbia REIT 650 California LLC, alleges that there’s a balance of $136, 260 in unpaid rent at one of Twitter’s San Fransisco offices. The landlord also wants Musk to pay damages for attorney’s fees and other expenses.

Evidently, the 51-year-old is trying to cut the company’s costs by any means necessary. Just last week, reports from The New York Times alleged that the SpaceX CEO is responsible for firing the company’s entire janitorial staff.

Furthermore, Musk officially became the first person ever to lose $200 billion earlier this week. This comes as a result of the drastic decline in Tesla’s stocks. According to Bloomberg‘s Billionaires Index, the share’s value sunk by 11% on December 27.

It certainly seems as though being the CEO of Twitter is causing the billionaire plenty of stress. He even ran a poll asking the platform’s users to vote on whether or not they think he should step down from the position.

After receiving more than 17 million votes, 55.7% of them answer yes to the question. “I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams,” the 51-year-old says in response to the results.

YSL RICO Update: Young Thug Being Charged With 8 Counts

by

As the world awaits YSL’s forthcoming RICO trial, it appears as if there’s a new positive development in the case.

Several members of the crew have taken plea deals in order to be released from jail. Young Thug remains behind bars.

On Wednesday (January 4), however, it was announced that the 31-year-old is only being hit with 8 charges. He was possibly facing up to 65 counts. The eight charges include conspiracy to violate the R.I.C.O. act, two counts of participation in criminal street gang activity and possession of both marijuana and codeine with intent to distribute.

Furthermore, the “Best Friend” rapper faces charges of possession of cocaine, possession of a firearm during commission of a felony and possession of a machine gun.

The Allegations

Additionally, the judge read out the allegations against the YSL crew in court earlier today. “Jeffrey Williams [Thug] and Atlanta-based hip-hop artists made YSL a well-known name by referring to it in his songs and on social media. YSL uses a variety of identifiers including colors, clothing, tattoos, hand signs, as well as verbal and written identifiers,” reads Judge Ural Glanville.

“YSL claims affiliation with the national Bloods gang and some associates also claim the Blood subset gangs, Sex, Money, Murder or 30d. YSL associates often display their colors by wearing a green or red bandana on their person, a practice known as flagging,” he continues afterwards.

Further allegations include using other hand gestures and the “SLATT” saying as a way of identifying themselves as gang members. “More allegations read: #YSL assc. make two-guns hand sign by forming pistols w/fingers & pointing them in opposite directions. BLAT[T] (Blood Love All the Time). SLAT[T] (Slime Love All the Time). Emojis include:green heart, green snake, blowing nose, green vomit,” writes journalist Cathy Russon in a subsequent tweet.

Evidently, these accusations attempt to label Young Thug and his fellow YSL crew as gang members. Authorities allege that they are more than just artists who are part of the YSL record label.

Regardless, it’s certainly good news that Thugger is only being charged with eight counts out of a possible 65.

Tony Yayo Says Tory Lanez Will Be Attacked In Jail

Tony Yayo is typically an entertaining guy. Beyond his raps, he’s certainly never afraid to speak his mind.

The G-Unit rapper recently sat down for an interview with VladTV. During the conversation, he shares his thoughts on the recent Tory Lanez guilty verdict.

Of course, DJ Vlad doesn’t shy away from asking the 44-year-old about the case. He asks Yayo what it’s like in jail as a rapper, based on the New York native’s personal experience. “I mean, it could be rough. People are not used to the conditions. You nobody, you just a number. They gon’ make you feel like you’re not R. Kelly or Bill Cosby, they tryna make you feel like you just a number and that’s what you are, just like everybody else,” he answers.

“Motherf*ckers don’t care. If you get out of line, a motherf*cker will get out of line with you too. And then you more of a target. C’mon, L.A. county? You seen they put up his meal. ‘Yo, Tory Lanez in here.’ That’s the talk of the jail and now everybody in the jail got something to talk about,” Yayo continues.

Later on in the interview, the “Drama Setter” rapper explicitly says what he would do to his lawyer if he was in Lanez’s shoes. “Where I’m from, I ain’t never hear nobody really shoot a girl. Like, you shoot n*ggas, but really don’t shoot girls. So it’s a strange case. If he woulda shot a n*gga, n*ggas probably wouldn’t have cared,” he prefaces.

“She got hit in the foot, it’s not an attempted murder, so for me, I probably woulda just copped out. Look at Tory, you go to jail on Christmas, you think you gon’ beat the case and then my lawyer would’ve got punched in the face, ’cause I’m not spending a quarter million dollars and my lawyer’s not telling me, yo, we might lose this,” he explains afterwards.

GloRilla & Her Team Under Fire For Alleged Shady Business Deals

by

GloRilla was undeniably one of the hottest breakthrough stars of the year in 2022. This is thanks to a couple of viral hits, including “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” and “Tomorrow 2” with Cardi B.

These songs, along with her charisma and commanding presence on the mic, have helped to turn her into one of the most promising acts in the game.

However, some business owners are calling out the Memphis native and members of her team for allegedly scamming their brands. A video report about the allegations is now on The Shade Room‘s Instagram account.

Specifically, the owner of a small hair and body care business, Kimberley Renfroe, says she paid $1,000 to a man claiming to be GloRilla’s manager. The payment was supposed to be for an endorsement deal in which the 23-year-old rapper would promote some of her business’ products. Once the man received the payment, he subsequently asked for more cash and then ultimately ghosted Renfroe.

A choreographer claims she had a similar experience. She says the Memphis native and her team are responsible for reaching out to her for a five-hour dance lesson for $1,500. Once the class allegedly happened, she says she never got her money.

However, the “Blessed” rapper claims that these are cases of scammers pretending to be members of her team.

“I was made aware that an individual has been impersonating members of my team and deceiving people for money as part of a scam. I’m looking into the issue, but I’d like to encourage all my fans and supporters to be very careful with how they communicate with online strangers. It’s important to do research and take the appropriate steps to prevent yourselves from being victimized by cybercriminals posing as celebrity teams,” she says in a statement to FOX13 Memphis.

Of course, this story arrives shortly after the Memphis native made headlines for seeking a personal assistant. She was offering $550 per week for the position.

In other news surrounding the 23-year-old, an old video of her recently began surfacing online. In the footage before the fame, she confesses her love for Chief Keef. A picture of the “Love Sosa” rapper appears in the background while the Memphis native lip-syncs to pre-recorded audio.

“This is your man? the audio asks. “Yeah,” she promptly pretends to reply. After the audio states to “look at the screen,” she does so with admiration and says, “That’s mine.”

by

The UFC has been making headlines this week, and this news is centered around Phil Baroni. Just one day after the company’s president, Dana White, apologized for slapping his wife at a nightclub, a former fighter has been arrested in connection to the death of his girlfriend.

According to a report from Tribuna De La Bahia, Baroni was detained in Mexico. His girlfriend, who wasn’t named in the report, was found dead at a San Pacho hotel on Sunday (January 1).

It was stated that the fighter and his girlfriend were involved in an argument after she admitted to being unfaithful. Details about the infidelity are unclear, but the report stated Baroni gave his rendition of what happened afterward.

He reportedly claimed he told his girlfriend to bathe, but she didn’t want to. In turn, Baroni said he threw her into the shower, causing her to hit her head twice. He then allegedly put her in bed, where he said she asked for beer and cigarettes. Baroni claimed his girlfriend looked as if she went to sleep, but when his attempts to wake her failed, he notified the authorities.

However, investigators don’t quite believe Baroni’s story.

Lil Wayne, Birdman & Rich Homie Quan Could Testify Against Young Thug In YSL RICO Case: Report

by

The jury selection process in the YSL RICO case begins today. Per WSB-TV’s Michael Seidan, the State revealed a list of potential witnesses that could testify against Young Thug, including a few high-profile names.

The state reportedly has a list of 372 potential witnesses who could take the stand against Thug. Many of them have law enforcement backgrounds, whether current or former police officers. The state’s witness list includes 157 individuals connected to the Atlanta police department. There are another 62 names from other law enforcement agencies. Then, there are 125 lay witnesses including massive names in hip-hop.

Seidan reports that Lil Wayne, whose issues with Young Thug are well documented, Birdman, YFN Lucci, Alexis “Dolly” Grier (Thug’s sister), and Rich Homie Quan are among the “notable witnesses” who prosecutors might ask to testify against the Slime Language rapper during the YSL trial.

Seiden also obtained a list of witnesses for one of Thug’s co-defendants, Miles Farley. The defense for Farley reportedly has T.I., Future, and Trippie Redd as potential witnesses.

The news of the state’s witness list comes a day after Thug’s legal team submitted their own. The 25 individuals listed as the rapper’s witnesses include Killer Mike, Lyor Cohen, and Jerrika Karlae, Thug’s fiancé. Additionally, his team will potentially call on sitting city council members and educators to testify on his behalf.

While the jury selection process is currently underway, the number of co-defendants in the case has fallen from the original 28. Fourteen of those indicted will face trial next week while six others will be tried separately. However, eight have already taken plea deals. Prosecutors released Gunna and Unfoonk from jail in the past few weeks. Part of the plea agreements is that they may potentially have to take the stand. However, Gunna’s attorney said that his client would plead the fifth if he were to testify.

We’ll continue to keep you posted on anymore developments surrounding the YSL trial.

Shy Glizzy Affiliate Ant Glizzy Claims They Spiked Women’s Drinks For 15 Years

by

Shy Glizzy’s affiliate Ant Glizzy isn’t denying the claims made by OnlyFans creator Sky Bri during her No Jumper interview.

During Bri’s latest appearance on No Jumper, she accused Shy Glizzy of sexual misconduct. Though she said she never had any bad experiences in the past, the “White Girl” video shoot opened her eyes. She said he forced her to take an unknown pill after saying no several times. Then, she accused him of trying to force her to perform fellatio on him.

At this point, Shy Glizzy hasn’t publicly responded to these claims. However, it seems that another member of Glizzy Gang has.

Ant Glizzy said he believed Bri’s account of the “White Girl” video shoot. He admitted Shy Glizzy’s notoriously known for spiking women’s drinks in the hope that they’ll have sex with these women. He even alleged in detail that the “Awesome” rapper taught him how to slip molly into drinks.

“I been told y’all Shy spiked them bottles,” Ant said on Instagram Live. “The fuck? I know he spiked them bottles. On GQ, I spiked a couple bottles with ’em.”

From there, Ant outed Shy Glizzy for adding molly to bottles of Patron before offering it to other women.

“Any girl that ever been around Shy Glizzy, once you super duper drunk and shit — now just think about it,” Ant continued. “It’s a #MeToo movement. He been doing this shit for ten years, I swear to God.”

“I been told y’all these stories. I told y’all he spikes them,” he continued. “He been doing this shit for 15 years on GQ. Like, any girl that ever drunk with the Glizzy Gang at a club or at a table, you was extra drunk. All you gotta do is ask him.”

On the topic of Sky Bri’s allegations, Ant Glizzy said that he believes her, solely on his own experiences with Shy Glizzy.

R. Kelly Silenced Aaliyah & Her Family With Non-Disclosure Agreements, Lifetime Doc Claims

by

R Kelly is behind bars but a critical piece of media that ensured his initial arrest was Lifetime’s Surviving R Kelly series. The documentary dove into the decades-old allegations of sexual abuse against the singer, and eventually, led authorities to arrest him and pressing charges.

Most recently, Lifetime unveiled the third installment in the Surviving R. Kelly series. Dubbed The Final Chapter, the latest season explores his illegal marriage to singer Aaliyah when she was only 15 years old.

Aaliyah was listed as Jane Doe #1 in Kelly’s 2002 federal trial, and the NDA that she and her family signed was introduced as evidence. However, the doc further details the NDA from those closest to Kelly, including the singer’s bodyguard, Gem Pratt.

Members of Aaliyah’s family didn’t comment on the series. However, Pratt detailed her father’s outrage over the marriage. After demanding an annulment, Kelly arranged an agreement that prevented Aaliyah’s family from pressing charges. In exchange, Kelly sold the rights to his first three albums to her family.

“Her dad didn’t want her anywhere near him,” Pratt said of Aaliyah’s father.

Pratt admitted that there were plenty of enablers in Kelly’s corner prior to his arrest. Meanwhile, prosecutors and legal experts explained that these were critical for the singer’s “criminal enterprise.”

“He couldn’t do this by himself. It’s impossible…It’s clear as day there were enablers,” said Pratt. “This was not a one-man operation. Most people in that camp knew that a lot of these girls were underage. They had to.”

The executive producer of Surviving R. Kelly, Jesse Daniels, explained that they tried to approach the topic as delicately as possible to ensure that they respected her legacy.

“We have had a lot of conversations about how to tell Aaliyah’s story every time because we really want to be respectful of her legacy. But what she went through, we can’t turn our backs on,” said Daniels.

We will keep you posted on anymore developments from Surviving R. Kelly: The Final Chapter.
