Lil Zay Osama Emphatically Responds To 30-Year Prison Sentence Rumor

by

Chicago native and rapper Lil Zay Osama is heading to prison for 14 months for possession of a machine gun. To be more exact, it was a modified Glock 22.40 caliber pistol. It had an attachment on it known as a Glock switch, which converts it to an automatic firearm as opposed to a semi-auto. Osama left it in the back of an Uber fully loaded back in 2022, and the driver reported it. While awaiting the final results of the trial, he was facing a maximum of up to 20 years behind bars. Given the circumstances, the “Changed Up” MC wound up with the best scenario possible. In fact, Osama was quick to recognize just how lucky he was in an Instagram Story post yesterday.

“I caught a blessing,” he admitted in his lengthy paragraph. However, that’s not all he touched on, as according to AllHipHop, many folks were spreading some false rumors. Some were claiming that Lil Zay Osama actually got a 30-year sentence as opposed to the year and change. Obviously, he didn’t appreciate that too much, and he took the time to put those gabby-mouths in their place.

“Stop believing everything u hear or see on the internet! You really think u can get 30 years for a switch? Hell no!!” he began. Idc what state [you] in facts but switches is dangerous and carry 3 or 4 years maybe less depending on ya background but they becoming a problem in a lot of cities so it might be worse for you different strokes for different folks.”

Osama added, “Don’t look at my situation and think you need a switch cause it can end bad for you.” He made sure to show love to those who helped him get through this troublesome moment as well. “I just wanna thank god, my kids, my family and my label for standing behind this whole way.” In addition to the 14 months, Osama was also ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.

T.D. Jakes Diddy Rumours Are “Unequivocally False And Baseless,” Bishop’s Team Says

by

Since Cassie ripped off the band-aid on Sean Combs’ troubling past with her sexual assault and human trafficking lawsuit in the fall, things for the New Yorker have grown increasingly messy. He quickly settled the case with his ex, but any legal action taken since then is being written off by Diddy and his legal team. Try as he might to protect his name, 50 Cent continues to troll the “I’ll Be Missing You Artist,” and is even promising to donate proceeds from his R. Kelly-inspired documentary about Diddy to survivors of assault.

As the year comes to a close, Bishop T.D. Jakes‘ name is surprisingly being linked to the former Revolt board member. A viral TikTok video describes the 66-year-old as a “power bottom” who attended Diddy sex parties with other men. Ahead of the weekend, Lil Duval jumped on Twitter to express doubt in the gossip, and according to The Jasmine Brand, the preacher’s team is also issuing a statement on his behalf to clear up any confusion and hate. “Recent claims circulating on pockets of social media about Bishop T.D. Jakes are unequivocally false and baseless,” it begins.

“What has always been true, in the words of the late Pastor Charles H. Spurgeon, ‘If you want the truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world it will fly; it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it,’” Jakes’ director of PR and communications, Jordan A. Hora, told the press. “[It’s] disheartening to witness the proliferation of numerous deepfake photos and the distortion of words through false, sensationalized misrepresentations, encapsulating purported statements to falsely speculate and attack others, including Bishop Jakes.”

As T.D. Jakes joins Diddy in the fight to clear his name, the Bad Boy mogul seems less concerned about addressing the unflattering allegations rising against him, and more interested in spinning the block with a past lover. Earlier this month, social media sleuths noticed he’s now following Gina Huynh on Instagram again after the socialite reportedly blocked him following her public spat with Yung Miami. You can read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Benzino Blasts Coi Leray & Angie Martinez For “Pushing A False Narrative” About Him

by

After making her presence fully felt in 2022, some wondered how Coi Leray could top her success in 2023. The Boston-born baddie delivered her sophomore LP, COI, a few months back, and though the numbers were slightly lower than her debut, many titles on the tracklist managed to go viral on platforms like TikTok. In addition to sharing music of her own, Leray has been working with other stars like Lola Brooke, RAYE, and Busta Rhymes in recent months, putting out catchy collaborations for her fans to play on repeat.

Despite all that she’s achieved in life so far, one area of the black-haired beauty’s life that remains troubled is her relationship with her father, Benzino. We saw them share a sweet moment back in September when responding to an apparent diss from Latto, however, feelings have obviously changed based on what Leray had to say in her new interview with Angie Martinez. According to the Trendsetter, she feels as though The Source legend is “envious” of all that she’s accomplishing.

Coi Leray Sits Down with Angie Martinez

“At first it was rocky, because I felt like he couldn’t handle my success,” she told the radio personality. “[It’s] okay because he’s human, that’s fine,” Leray noted, not holding too much animosity toward her father. Despite her calmness in sharing her feelings, Benzino had plenty to get off his chest in an angry IG rant. “This has to be the most ridiculous 💩 I’ve heard in my entire life on this earth. How tf can be envious towards someone I RAISED, NUTURED, PROVIDED FOR, INFLUENCED AND LOVE VERY DEARLY???” he asked on Friday (November 10) afternoon.

“This industry and the internet have completely messed up the minds of this young generation. I’m tired of her pushing a false narrative about who I am and what I’ve done as a father. In my 40 years in hip hop I’ve never ever seen an artist DOG their parents out the [way] Coi does and it’s embarrassing and sad,” the 58-year-old went on. After giving his daughter a piece of his mind, Benzino then went in on Martinez. “@angiemartinez knows she doesn’t like me so she’s just being manipulative and messy,” he speculated. “They want me [to] crash out but I’ve worked on myself so hard that I ain’t going backwards for ANYTHING,” Zino promised.

“But what I won’t do is allow ANYONE to slander my name and push a false narrative on my reputation and who I am. I’ve shed too many blood, sweat, and tears, and survived street wards and indictments. Nope no more,” his response concluded. Do you think the podcaster’s line of questioning with Coi Leray took things too far? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Wayne Claims His Google Net Worth Is Incorrect, But Not In The Way You’d Think

by

When you’re as talented, successful, and beloved as Tunechi, it’s hard to put a price on you. Lil Wayne recently refuted his Google net worth, listed at $160 million, during an interview with Culture Millennials. Moreover, he spoke on how claims of how much he’s worth are nowhere near what he actually has. However, before you think he’s boasting, he actually downplayed the amount and said that he doesn’t have that kind of cash. Sure, he acknowledged that it’s nice to have people think he’s worth that much, but still refused to really bank on it.

“Honestly, I’m gonna let everybody know now,” Weezy remarked. “When you go check a motherf***er’s net worth and that s**t be saying some crazy numbers, I don’t have a cent close to that s**t. Yeah, I don’t have that, but I guess they be meaning that’s what I’m worth. So I be always calling my agent and being like, ‘I’m telling you, bro, I’m gonna fire the s**t out of you ’cause I don’t need you.’ I Googled that, you know what I mean? I’m like I’m a zillion dollar n***a on Google bro … It’s motivation, that’s all. It’s just motivation.”

Lil Wayne Dismisses His Net Worth

Furthermore, this discussion probably relates back to a recent story on how Jay-Z’s net worth reached $2.5 billion, according to Forbes. In fact, this is a massive step-up for Hov, considering Forbes valued his worth at $1.4 billion just a year ago. While it’s nearly double the original amount, the publication didn’t detail how it got to such an estimate. As such, a lot of people responded with both high praise and raised eyebrows, along with the typical discussion of what all that money is really worth.

Regardless, much of the Carter series icon’s worth sparked debate in another, and for a lot of people, much more serious way. Moreover, the culture traded takes on who would win in a Verzuz battle: him or 50 Cent. Decisions seemed almost split even wherever you looked, with even strong advocates for either acknowledging that it’s not an easy call to make. Regardless, it’s the kind of debate that’s much more fun that the numbers, because we’ll never really know the answer. Check out the New Orleans legend’s interview take on net worth about and return to HNHH for the latest on Lil Wayne.
