Plastic Surgeon In 50 Cent Penis Enhancement Case Says He Should Be Suing The Shade Room Instead

by

The legal battle between 50 Cent and Medical Spa owner Angela Kogan is still heating up. The Queens native continues to deny receiving a penis enhancement.

A new update in the case indicates that part of the surgeon’s defence states that 50 should really be suing The Shade Room.

This all began when the “In Da Club” rapper sued Kogan back in September. The 47-year-old claims that the owner of Medical Spa made false claims about him receiving a penis enlargement procedure.

Furthermore, Kogan claims that the Power producer posed for a photo with her in exchange for services at the spa. However, 50 alleges that this doesn’t include anything to do with penis enlargement. He’s suing her for invasion of privacy, false endorsement, unauthorized misappropriation, false advertising, conversion and unjust enrichment.

In November, he even took to his Instagram account to maintain his side of the story. “yeah my d_ck is a BIG DEAL set for trial in july no enhancement necessary, these fools put them selves out of business,” he writes in the caption.

Evidently, neither Fif or Kogan are backing down. In October, she requested that the case be dismissed. Now, the business owner is saying the 47-year-old shouldn’t even be suing her in the first place.

According to documents obtained by AllHipHop, however, Kogan’s attorneys submitted the affirmative defenses on Thursday (December 30). They argue that the “In Da Club” rapper should be going after The Shade Room instead. The website allegedly posted the photo of Kogan and Fif together, accompanied by an article about penis enlargement surgery.

“The Shade Room is the author of the Article, and pulled the Photo from Kogan’s social media without Kogan’s permission or consent. The Shade Room is the publisher of the Article, and Plaintiff has improperly applied the actions of The Shade Room to Defendant,” says the surgeon’s lawyers in a statement.

If a settlement isn’t reached, the case is still set to head to trial in July 2023.

Doja Cat Receives Death Threat After Tinychat Bullying Accusations: Report

by

One thing that seemingly always lands Doja Cat in a pot of boiling hot water, is spending time in online chat rooms. A few years ago she faced severe backlash for allegedly engaging in alt-right and racist activities across these internet hangouts. However, she vehemently denied those claims at the time.

“I want to address what’s been happening on Twitter. I’ve used public chat rooms to socialize since I was a child. I shouldn’t have been on some of those chat room sites. I personally have never been involved in any racist conversations. I’m sorry to everyone that I offended,” the Planet Her hitmaker wrote.

Additionally, she added, “I’m a Black woman. Half of my family is black from South Africa. I’m very proud of where I come from… I understand my influence and impact and I’m taking this all very seriously. I love you all and I’m sorry for upsetting or hurting any of you. That’s not my character, and I’m determined to show that to everybody moving forward. Thank you.”

While much of 2022 found her focusing on her eyebrows and bold fashion statements, it seems Doja is closing out the year by spending time on Tinychat. As HipHopDX reports, footage of the performer surfaced online earlier this week. It came from an unverified participant who later shared it on social media.

“Not only has Doja Cat been going into this chat room, this is her right here. The owner gave her admin. She bans, kicks and bullies the shit out of me in the chat,” they explained to readers.

Aside from accusations of bullying, it seems her time on Tinychat also led the California native to receive a death threat. While it remains unclear if the person who posted the clip and who allegedly verbally attacked her are the same, they were both seemingly mad about DC kicking them out of the space.

TMZ reports that Doja gave the man the boot when he began acting weird. He somehow entered again, and at this point, reportedly threatened to kill her and said he would “see her soon.” Afterward, the singer called the cops, who promptly took a report for a criminal threat.

Body Cam Footage Shows Megan Thee Stallion Crying In Ambulance After Shooting

by

After the Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion case closed, authorities and media outlets released more footage and evidence. Newly shared footage from police body cams and 911 calls demonstrate the distress of the occasion. In them, the Houston rapper cried in pain as she received treatment from medics. Also, the call recording details respondents’ initial response.

The body cam footage revealed little beyond a doctor putting his gloves on. A masked Megan sat while transported for further care. Moreover, audio from the clip contained cries and sniffles from the “NDA” MC from her gurney.

Meanwhile, blogger Nique at Nite obtained an exclusive audio clip of the shooting itself. In it, the gun let off five shots, and she elaborated on the clip before playing.

“There was an expert who was a gun expert and he basically testified that it’s impossible for the gun to go off in a struggle. This was a special gun that you needed 8.5 pounds of pressure to shoot it. Now, in the audio, you will see how back to back the shots were, which eliminates the idea of this struggle for the gun and this idea that was pushed out.

“Now, this is exclusive from us,” she continued, “a lot of people were wondering like, ‘In the gunshot audio, why didn’t I hear Kelsey and Megan and them arguing?’ It’s because the audio was taken from somebody’s Ring inside their home.”

With this in mind, many dismissed the defense’s story that the shots were accidental amid a struggle. Also, a recorded 911 call from the night of the shooting details respondents’ initial questions.

“There is a woman who sounds like she’s being hurt,” said the female caller. “It’s definitely a domestic disturbance of some kind. I know there have been a lot of fireworks going off, but these really sounded like gunshots… It’s in Nichols Canyon, north of me, and I guarantee if your officers just drive into Nichols Canyon right now, they’re gonna hear it.”

The woman sounded frustrated with the 911 respondent, who required a specific address to send officials. They exchanged more details, such as a lot of shouting from at least one woman and one male. Additionally, the caller said she didn’t hear any cars moving away.

What do you think of these new 911 and body cam details of the Megan shooting? Does this change your view on Tory Lanez’s testimonies and side of the story? Let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on this case.

Bryan Kohberger Named As Idaho Murder Suspect, Moscow Police Provide Further Updates: Watch

by

One chapter of the horrendous University of Idaho murders is coming to an end. However, that only means the beginning of another. A month and a half after the deaths of Kaylee, Xana, Madison, and Ethan, an arrest has finally been made in connection to the case. 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger is said to be the alleged killer.

The news came on Friday (December 30) morning. Hours ago, the FBI made an arrest outside of Scranton, Pennsylvania. The Moscow Police Department issued an arrest warrant for first-degree murder. They shared during a press conference today that plans are in place to extradite the apparent criminal back to Idaho.

As TMZ notes, Kohberger is currently a Ph.D. student at Washington State University. He’s studying criminal justice and criminology at the school located just nine miles west of the small town where the murders took place.

Authorities reportedly found out that he has a white Hyundai Elantra – a car which they’ve previously been on the hunt for. Some are saying that his DNA was present at the scene of the crime.

Kohberger’s vehicle was taken earlier today, and cops are subsequently searching his place. The residence is also conveniently roughly nine miles from Moscow.

Thus far, much of the online commentary has been about the reported criminal’s “blank stare” during his police bust. At the time, he’s also said to have asked cops in anyone else was brought into custody in their investigation.

During a press conference that began broadcasting at 1 PM PT, several local authorities involved with the case gave updates. However, each of them said that it will still be some time before all the information they have can come out.

Additionally, police said that they’re still open to receiving tips regarding the stabbings – particularly any that involve Kohberger specifically. Watch the full video below, and check back later for any updates on the arrest.

Trae Tha Truth Turns Himself In For Assault Charges Stemming From Z-Ro Altercation

by

On Wednesday, Trae Tha Truth linked up with Young Scooter to attend one of Young Thug’s court hearings. However, just one day after showing support for the Punk artist, he had to face legal issues of his own.

Earlier this year, Trae Tha Truth and Z-Ro were involved in an alleged altercation. The fight reportedly went down during 50 Cent’s Tycoon Weekend in Houston, and eventually, footage of it hit the internet. Following the incident, Trae spoke on the situation, saying, “It wasn’t no 7-on-1 situation. It wasn’t no blindside ambush. That’s not what this is. This is family business, internal stuff that’s been going on for 10, 15 years that’s probably been building up and just spilled over into shit.” Unfortunately, the situation has not yet been fully resolved.

U Of Idaho Stabbings: Suspect Reportedly In Custody After FBI Pennsylvania Arrest

by

Some were certain that 2022 would end without any answers regarding the tragic University of Idaho stabbings. However, they were proven wrong on Friday (December 30), as a suspect has finally been taken into custody regarding the tragic slayings. According to CNN, the FBI made an arrest hours ago, and the Moscow Police Department is preparing for a news conference later this afternoon.

The new reports say that authorities tracked down the person of interest in northeastern Pennsylvania. Descriptions say he’s a man in his 20s, though no other information about potential motives or relations to the victims has been made public at this time.

The arrest follows yesterday’s (December 29) update from police, who say they’ve had upwards of 20,000 tips sent their way. These came in the form of 9,025 emails, 4,575 phone calls, and 6,050 digital media submissions. Additionally, they conducted upwards of 300 interviews regarding their investigations.

21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen may have been sleeping during the attack. However, previous reports reveal that they made several calls to an ex-boyfriend, Jack, around the time of the murders. The two other victims, Xana Kernodle and her 20-year-old boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, were in her room.

The shocking stabbings are the first of its kind to rock the small college down in seven years.

“Investigators believe someone has information that adds context to what occurred on the night of the murders and continue requesting additional pictures, video, and social media content. Our focus remains on the investigation, not an individual’s activities displayed in the tip,” a recent update from authorities said.

The off-campus residence where the victims live remains an active crime scene, although cleaners will visit. Moscow Police have worked with property management services to get rid of “potential biohazards and other harmful substances used to collect evidence.”

Andrew Tate Human Trafficking Allegations Have Twitter Ridiculing Him

by

We’ve seen some interesting headlines this year, from Kanye West’s pro-Hitler posts to Jhené Aiko and her elderly father both surprisingly welcoming new babies within weeks of each other. Even with all the previous chaos, though, nothing could have prepared us for seeing an Andrew Tate detainment.

Earlier this week, the controversial media figure found himself in the midst of an online spat with Greta Thunberg. Eventually, a video rant came, clapping back at the young woman. In it, he chiefly smokes a cigar in his robe, a stack of pizza boxes sitting in front of him.

While feuding with a 19-year-old girl as a 36-year-old man is embarrassing enough, Tate’s post actually wound up getting him in some serious trouble. In fact, thanks to the takeout boxes in front of him, authorities were able to piece together Tate’s location. They then brought him in in connection with a human trafficking investigation.

The former reality star’s brother later met the same fate. Romanian police have been looking into the siblings since April. Both Andrew and Tristan are facing accusations of sexual assault, organized crime, and more.

Authorities previously served search warrants at five different homes, CNN reports. Four suspects – specifically two Brits and two Romanians – are receiving questioning. Presently, they’re due to appear in court later on Friday (December 30). Tate’s lawyer unquestionably says that “He was not arrested. He was detained for 24 hours.”

Videos presently being released to the public show some of the raids taking place, and even include footage of anonymous men being pat down.

Early on Friday, Tate shared a message from his personal Twitter account, though it remains unclear if he was actually the one to post it. “The Matrix sent their agents,” it reads.

Additionally, details reveal that authorities believe two of the suspects were talking their victims “into believing that they intended to enter into a marriage/cohabitation relationship” as they were brought to Romania. Later, those same women were reportedly sexually exploited with physical violence and coercion.

On Thursday (December 29), the DIICOT stated that the four suspects would be detained for 24 hours following questioning. At this time, no further information has been shared.

Finally, check out more reactions to Andrew Tate’s human trafficking allegations below. Afterward, let us know what your thoughts are in the comments.

Tory Lanez’ Alleged Jail Call To Kelsey Harris Leaks: Listen

by

The Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion saga has almost come to an end. On Friday, December 23, Tory was found guilty on all three charges in his highly publicized case. Thus, in the coming weeks he will be sentenced on the following charges: assault with a semi-automatic firearm (personal use of a firearm); carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle; and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. 

Nevertheless, unwavering fans of the Canadian artist have reportedly started a petition to appeal his guilty verdict. According to crime reporter Meghann Cuniff, however, Tory’s verdict was decided by the infamous apology call he made to Kelsey. In a surprising turn of events, that alleged phone call has now made its way to the internet.

Tory Lanez’s infamous call to Kelsey from jail has now surfaced online. 

During the trial, Tory’s defense tried to pin Megan Thee Stallion’s former friend, Kelsey Nicole Harris, as the shooter. The attempt was ultimately unsuccessful, and now that Tory’s call to Kelsey from jail has leaked, fans may understand why.

At the beginning of the phone call, Tory Lanez checks on Megan and Kelsey’s well-being. Then he asks which hospital the Traumazine artist was being treated at. After getting that information, Tory then begins to apologize profusely.

“Regardless, I know she probably gonna never ever talk to me ever again, but bruh, I just want you to know bruh. Nigga, I was just so fucking drunk,” Tory Lanez confesses. “Nigga, I didn’t even know what the fuck was going on, bro. Dead ass. I didn’t even know what the fuck was going on, bro. Like dead ass, nigga.”

“I would never do some shit like that, bruh. It’s just that a nigga was so fucking drunk. I just didn’t even understand what the fuck was going on, bruh,” he continued. “Regardless, that’s not gonna make anything right, and that’s not gonna make my actions right, bro. I’m just deeply sorry for that. I never even moved like that, bruh. Never moved like that at all, bruh. Like for real, for real, dawg.”

After that, Kelsey let out a long sigh before saying, “You know, it was a lot — a lot that happened, but—”

“A whole lot, bruh. Like a whole lot, bruh. I feel like — I feel crazy, fam,” Tory Lanez replied. “What happened, happened already, bruh. I can’t take it back, bruh. I’m just telling y’all I’m sorry, bruh. I think we was just too drunk, bruh. When I got to the house, off-top niggas had gave me like five shots. Like off the door, you feel me? I was outta there.”

YFN Lucci’s Attorney Denies Rumors That He’ll Testify in YSL RICO Case

by

YFN Lucci is at the centre of the latest developments in YSL’s RICO case. Lucci and Thugger have a history of involving themselves in a back-and-forth beef over the years.

Lucci’s mother was reportedly shot at some time during their beef. Prosecutors reportedly believe that the So Much Fun rapper subsequently bragged about being responsible in his lyrics.

The song in question is his 2021 collab with the late Juice WRLD, “Bad Boy.” “I shot at his mommy, now he no longer mention me,” Thug raps in the track.

On Thursday (December 29), rumors that Lucci is on the witness list within YSL’s case began to circulate on social media. This stems from a video taken in court. Somebody asks if YFN Lucci is in the indictment, to which someone else responds, “he’s a witness. Isn’t he on the witness list also?” Another person replies, “right.”

However, the “Everyday We Lit” rapper’s attorney, Drew Findling is speaking out against these claims.

“Rayshawn Bennett [Lucci], has never been interviewed or subpoenaed by law-enforcement, the Fulton County District Attorney‘s office or any of the party’s regarding the YSL case. Any party can announce for example that Abraham Lincoln is on their witness list, but those words alone are meaningless. So, to be 100% clear, Rayshawn Bennett [Lucci] will not be a witness in the YSL case. His focus, as it should be, is on his pending Fulton County case,” Findling says in a statement to XXL.

Earlier last year, the world was witness to Lucci surrendering himself to authorities on murder and gang charges. Furthermore, the Atlanta native claims he was the victim of a stabbing while behind bars in March. Despite requests to see a release, he remains in prison. As does Young Thug, who awaits his trial after several fellow YSL members have taken plea deals. Jury selection will reportedly begin on January 5, 2023.

What are your thoughts on the situation? Comment down below. Finally, make sure to stay tuned in to HNHH for the latest updates in the trial and all other pop culture news.

YSL RICO Update: Slug Takes Plea Deal, Two Others Decline

by

As Young Thug remains behind bars, updates on the future of other YSL members are revealing themselves.

Reports on Thursday (December 29) indicate that three more members were offered plea deals. However, only one of them is reportedly deciding to take it.

“Trontavious Stephens aka Tick aka Slug takes plea deal in #YoungThug case. He faced 5-20 yrs on the racketeering count. (only count charged),” reports Cathy Russon, the Executive Producer at Law&Crime Network.

“He received 10 years, with 2 yrs time served & remaining 8 yrs on probation. He will be released,” she continues afterward. Stephens becomes the eighth YSL member to take a plea deal.

Stephens also agrees to testify truthfully at the trial. Additionally, he is unable to assert the fifth amendment.

Furthermore, he admits that he does indeed go by Tick as one of his nicknames. In Thugger’s song “You,” the 31-year-old raps, “She gettin’ robbed my Tick.” He acknowledges this as a fact as well.

Although Stephens is taking the plea deal, there are two other YSL members who declined to do so earlier today.

DJ Akademiks has consistently been reporting on the case through his social media accounts and took to his Instagram to provide the update.

“At least thug can say 2 of his members denied getting out of jail instantly and is taking it to trial wit him. The judge warned the defendants that taking the plea would make them free immediately but taking it to trial he would sentence them to the max if they lost the case. Tenquarius is facing 50 years in prison if convicted at trial,” the streamer says in the caption along with the news.

Ever since Gunna became the first person to accept a plea deal in the case, there has been speculation online about whether or not there is snitching involved when taking the deal. Although, Gunna’s attorney, Steve Sadow has consistently stated that there is no truth behind these claims.

“Gunna did not snitch to get out of jail. He has said nothing and is not cooperating. His plea statement cannot be used in court against any other defendant. So please stop spreading lies!!!” he writes in a statement.

Regardless, there continues to be discourse online about what these pleas will mean for Young Thug.

What are your thoughts on the YSL members taking plea deals in order to get released? Comment your thoughts down below. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates on the trial.
