Bankroll Freddie’s alleged drug trafficking operation was also reportedly run by members of his family. Moreover, Freddie faces charges of gang violence and drug trafficking and is at the center of an FBI investigation in Arkansas. According to Arkansas Online, the court denied bond to his father Freddie Gladney on Tuesday (February 28). Furthermore, officials allegedly caught him on wiretaps discussing weapons and drugs with three of his sons and arranging contraband sales with his daughter. After this discovery, all family members implicated are codefendants in the case and investigation.
“I do believe in the presumption of innocence,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Joe Volpe expressed about the situation. “But the wire cases really bring a new facet to the analysis and the strength of the case and you really get to hear about what’s going on and understand what’s going on with an individual.” To elaborate, the rapper faced indictment last November on weapons and drug conspiracy charges. Not only that, but the charges came after looking into the activities EBT and Lodi Murder Mobb, two rival street gangs who faced concurrent investigation.
Bankroll Freddie Reportedly In Family Drug Operation
Furthermore, additional evidence presented in a hearing showed that Gladney involved several of his offspring, including Bankroll Freddie, in the operation. Also, he dealt large quantities of cocaine and marijuana, and allegedly at one point offered to “cook” crack for a son for $100. Moreover, authorities and spectators alike expect him to be in custody for the foreseeable future. What’s more is that the judge stated that no conditions could prevent Gladney from selling drugs by any means possible. Meanwhile, the rapper is still incarcerated in an Arkansas federal prison. In December of 2022, Judge Volpe ordered him to remain in jail while a trial surfaces.
However, more curiously, Bankroll requested that authorities return the property they seized in his arrest. These include various jewelry items, and the court denied such requests for return. While this seems like a much larger case than originally imagined, the circumstances behind his actions definitely shifted with this revelation. Regardless, come back to HNHH for more updates on this story and the latest on Bankroll Freddie.
Doctors have reportedly informed Tom Sizemore’s family that there is no hope for recovery after the iconic actor suffered a brain aneurysm on February 18 as the result of a stroke. In turn, the family is considering end-of-life matters for the 61-year-old. Throughout his prolific career, Sizemore played Sgt. Horvath in Saving Private Ryan as well as Michael Cheritto in Heat, and many more roles. Sizemore’s manager, Charles Lago, confirmed the state of his health in a statement to Yahoo Entertainment on Monday.
“Today, doctors informed his family that there is no further hope and have recommended end of life decision,” Lago wrote to the outlet. “The family is now deciding end of life matters and a further statement will be issued on Wednesday. We are asking for privacy for his family during this difficult time and they wish to thank everyone for the hundreds of messages of support, and prayers that have been received. This has been a difficult time for them.”
Tom Sizemore In 2019
Sizemore has struggled with substance abuse throughout his life. In 2021, he spoke with Fox News about his journey, admitting that he eventually reached a point where he knew he had to stop. “I’ve been trying to get sober since 1991. It became really big news much later than that, but I was trying to stop. I’ve had a problem for a long time. I had periods, long periods, of sobriety and I would end up relapsing,” he said. Sizemore continued: “I still go to meetings and work my steps, but I had reached a place in my life where I knew I had to stop. I couldn’t be arrogant anymore. If I wanted to reach a nice and pleasant old age, I had to stop. And if I wanted to watch my kids grow up, I needed to reach a place where I knew it was over.”
In addition to Saving Private Ryan and Heat, Sizemore has also appeared in Black Hawk Down, Passenger 57, Heat, True Romance, Natural Born Killers, Devil in a Blue Dress, The Relic, and Strange Days, as well as Twin Peaks: The Return. Sizemore is the father of two children, Jagger and Jayden, whom he shares with Janelle McIntire. The two twins were born in 2005.
Who is Coi Leray’s Dad? At this point, many people know that it’s culture figure Benzino. “Nepo Baby” is one of the latest Internet terms. It comes from the word “nepotism” which basically means giving family members opportunities over others. So a “Nepo Baby” is someone whose fame can be credited to a family member. Calling Coi Leray a “Nepo Baby” is overall inaccurate. Benzino is not exactly a household name for this generation. But, connections, especially in the music industry, still matter.
Many know Benzino as a co-owner of The Source magazine. This magazine specialized in covering the rap world. There’s no telling how many names Benzino had in his Rolodex because of this. The Source has been active since 1998. They have seen many of the changes that have happened in the rap world. Coi Leray’s music is quite different from what they were covering in 2006. She was still able to secure a feature from one of the biggest figures in the rap world.
Coi Leray’s Relationship with her Dad is Complex
Coi Leray and Benzino do not have a perfect relationship. We can only go off of the things both of them have publicly stated. They have both said negative things about each other. Their relationship dynamics connect to the music but also goes beyond it. We have learned about their dynamic through social media and interviews. Each of them has regularly spoken about the other. Some would say Coi Leray speaking on him is what brought this generation’s attention to him. “That’s why I never mentioned his name coming into this industry cause he can’t get over his past and don’t even realize how much he damaging when he does this stuff.” tweeted Coi.
Around when Coi Leray dropped her debut album Trendsetter, Benzino had something to say. But, it wasn’t positive. “You worried about being called broke on the day of my debut album. You ain’t even text me congratulations, you so bitter and evil. Ima pray for you.” tweeted Coi. This was in reference to the fact Benzino apparently lost The Source when Coi was around nine years old. She stated her family was “broke” once this happened. Benzino had a different perspective.
Benzino Almost Ruined One of Coi Leray’s Biggest Songs to Date
Whenever an up-and-coming artist gets a feature from a seasoned one, it’s a big deal. It can connect generations. It can bring new ears to both parties involved. Coi Leray secured a Nicki Minaj feature for their song “Blick Blick”. Benzino almost ruined this. Benzino spoke about Nicki Minaj’s feature before Nicki herself and Coi did. “She got this song with Nicki Minaj that’s gonna be coming out that’s gonna be crazy.” he said in a room on the app Clubhouse.
Initially, Nicki denied she had a verse. Then, later, it was revealed she wanted to pull the verse from the song. “I just felt bad that she was robbed of telling the world in her own way @ her own time. But that’s water under the bridge now. Good vibes all 2022” said Nicki during a Q&A on Twitter. This is perhaps the biggest example of Benzino impacting Coi Leray’s music. He shared information that she did not want to be revealed yet. Fortunately, he did genuinely apologize for his mistake.
Coi Leray Has Sometimes Defended Benzino
Coi Leray and her Dad Benzino have multiple layers to their relationship. While it is not perfect they are still family. Coi knows his behavior not only affects her but others too. This is mainly other people in the music industry. Coi knows he can be difficult and wants people to understand that. In an interview with Vladtv from August 2020 she said “He’s crazy but he’s smart…he’s a business man…everybody’s not perfect.”
Being aware of how someone’s behavior affects others is a part of being in a relationship with them. Sometimes, a person’s behavior in the public eye is people’s only frame of reference for it. We don’t know what happens behind closed doors. “My dad is a great man,” “And I love him regardless of our differences, he’s still my father and I gotta respect him, right?” she said in an interview with The Breakfast Club. The public has mostly seen negative interactions between them but, of course, these are not the only interactions they have.
Coi Leray and Benzino Appear to Have Mended their Relationship
Coi Leray and Benzino are working on their relationship. Since 2022, we have not heard anything about it. This could mean things are being handled away from social media. For the time being, her Dad’s name is not in headlines with hers. Ironically, they were able to work on their relationship because of the situation with the Nicki Minaj feature.
Coi shared that Nicki’s advice helped her strengthen her perspective. “…You have to respect your father…‘Regardless of what you’re going through bro, that’s your dad.” Nicki told Coi. It appears she fully understood this and took it to heart. Growth is important and can truly be beneficial for multiple reasons. Moving forward, people hope Coi and Benzino continue to work on and have a healthy relationship.
In the final months of 2022, it felt as though a new Nick Cannon baby was being born every week. The 42-year-old welcomed more children last year than some become parents to in a lifetime. Presently, it still remains unclear if he’s done. In the past, he’s sometimes gotten defensive when interviewers ask about the possibility of a vasectomy. In a recent interview, he explained that it’s not up to him if his family continues to expand.
He first became a father back in 2011, during his marriage to R&B legend Mariah Carey. They welcomed twins, Monroe and Moroccan, and currently still share custody, though rumour has it that the vocalist is legally battling with her ex over that. Seeing as he’s fathered 10 more kids in the years since she gave birth, Cannon obviously doesn’t have as much time to spend with his oldest two.
The San Diego-born star didn’t expand his clan again until 2017 when Brittany Bell gave birth to a boy named Golden Sagon. Three years later the model gave her co-parent his fourth when Powerful Queen was born in December 2020. After this is when things start to get confusing, as more baby mothers enter the picture. Abby De La Rosa became pregnant next, bringing the second set of Cannon twins into the world in the summer of 2021.
Weeks later, Alyssa Scott’s baby boy, Zen, came into the world. Unfortunately, he made a departure at just five months old following a heartbreaking battle with cancer. By the next summer, it was reported that several more Cannon babies were on the way, including Bre Tiesi’s Legendary Love in June 2022 and LaNisha Cole’s Onyx Ice Cole in September. Additionally, Bell, De La Rose, and Scott all continued their respective families with Cannon from late September to mid-December.
Alexa, Play “God’s Plan”
As mentioned earlier, the multi-talent’s family is a sensitive subject for him, particularly when asked about his future plans for more children. Earlier this week Cannon sat down with Entertainment Tonight to discuss fatherhood, among other things. “God decides when we’re done, but I believe I definitely got my hands full,” he acknowledged in the interview.
Ever the jokester, the father of 12 then added, “And I’m so focused. I’m locked in. But when I’m 85, you never know. I might [have more].” Would you be opposed to watching Nick Cannon continue to grow his family, or do you think he should focus on fostering the offspring he already has? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.
Britney Spears’ behavior as of late caused a lot of concern in her inner circle, who planned an intervention for her to get help. Moreover, TMZ reported that sources close to Britney expressed concern for her well-being and mental state. In fact, one source close to Spears reportedly toldthe outlet, “I’m afraid she’s gonna die.” Furthermore, the publication’s sources spoke of her drug use habits and demeanor, and how it got to a point of overwhelming worry. For example, they claim that she takes meds to “hype her up” and is “flying off the handle” by not taking stabilizing medication.
According to TMZ‘s report, various people close to (and concerned for) the star singer staged an intervention for her. Furthermore, this group consisted of her husband Sam Asghari, her manager, an interventionist, and doctors to be present during the intervention. Moreover, her manager rented a house in Los Angeles for a few months. Reports indicate that the plan was to take Britney to the house on Tuesday (February 7) and for that group to urge her to get help. Also, TMZ reported that her father Jamie Spears and her two sons were not involved in this strategy. As readers may recall, her relationship to them is particularly strained.
Not only that, but they planned for the 41-year-old to stay at the rented house for up to two months. As such, she could receive medical treatment as well as psychological counseling. However, everything changed when Britney became “somewhat aware” of the plan. For some reason, they canceled intervention and the whole process. Still, this struck people as odd. Upon the news, TMZ asked sources close to Britney and Sam why the plan didn’t work out. Unfortunately, they got no answers back.
Meanwhile, the publication’s sources said that Spears met with a doctor on Wednesday afternoon (February 8). Although it’s good news, it’s unclear whether the doctor is a physician or a therapist. Still, sources told TMZ that their session “went well.” Hopefully, that’s a sign of the singer’s path towards peace and health. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest updates on this story.
PnB Rock’s girlfriend, Stephanie Sibounheuang, mourned the late rapper on her Instagram Story, earlier this week. She shared a family photo of the two of them with their daughter.
“We miss you every second,” she captioned the photo.
PnB Rock and Sibounheuang’s daughter is named Xuri.
The post comes after Sibounheuang recently called on fans to stream PnB Rock’s “Luv Me Again.” He released the song just ten days before his death. It was his first independently released track.
She also recently reflected on the burden she’s been facing without PnB Rock in her life during an Instagram Live post.
“It’s just been tough without no help, without, you know, my protector and my provider here,” she said. “He did not have life insurance. No, he did not have a will. No, we didn’t have nothing set up. We’re so young [that] we don’t plan on death. I don’t get no death benefits. I don’t get nothing.”
“It’s really like, I’m just letting God use me,” she continued. “I’m just trusting God’s plan. I’m just being obedient. Like, if that’s what God [wants], then have your way.”
PnB Rock was shot and killed on September 2, 2022, at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles in Los Angeles. He and Sibounheuang were dining together at the time. She’s said that PnB Rock saved her by pushing her under a table at the time of the shooting.
Police have since made three arrests in connection to the attack. They are reportedly still looking for a fourth suspect.
