Plies Thirsts Over Fani Willis As District Attorney Answers Questions In Court

by

If you’re caught the briefest lick of Plies online, you know how he loves to thirst over admirable women in pop culture, often to hilarious results. Moreover, he made the Internet light up with glee with his cheeky messages to Britney Spears, and his professions of love captured many hearts. However, the rapper doesn’t hold back either when it comes to his interest in politics… although he can’t help but thirst over someone when applicable. Furthermore, his most recent muse is Fulton County, Georgia’s District Attorney Fani Willis, who recently took the stand during a misconduct case about her alleged involvement with a prosecutor, campaign funding, the Trump 2020 election in Georgia, and more.

“Fani Willis F*ck That Case & Run For President!!!!” Plies expressed on Twitter earlier this week. “I’ll VP For U!!! I Want Fani To Free Thug But Outside of That. I Gotta See Bout Fani Willis! [heart-eyes emoji]. Ain’t Never Been This Turned On In My Life. I Know She Smell Good Too. Talk That Talk To Me Fani. U Ain’t Gotta Pay Me I’m Gone Pay U! I Know Fani ‘Wet Wet’. I Mean That In The Most Respectful Way! After Watching Fani Willis On the Stand!! I’m Turned On! I Know That Thang Good!!! Fani Hire Me I’l Work For FREE!!”

Furthermore, beyond Plies’ passionate pleas of romance, there’s another element to this interaction that plays into another one of his online personality traits: hating Donald Trump. “Dear America: Why Aren’t Trump & MAGA Not Saying The ‘IOWA CAUCUS’ Was Rigged???” he asked on Twitter back in January when these results came out. “When They ‘WIN’ It’s Legit When They ‘LOSE’ It’s “Rigged”… VERY NASTY, DELUSIONAL & DISHONEST PEOPLE!!!” It’s a bit ironic because you could compare tweet styles between the two and it wouldn’t be so far off.

Regardless, the Florida native isn’t absent from the rap world and doesn’t just have this to entertain himself with. Boosie Badazz recently denied beef between them and looked back on their complicated history. We’ll see if other rappers indulge these thirsty remarks and commentary on our political world. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Plies.

D.A. In Young Thug & Donald Trump Case Allegedly Had An Affair With Prosecutor

by

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is prosecuting Young Thug, is facing another call for her to be removed from Georgia’s election interference case against former President Donald Trump. The demands stem from allegations she had an affair with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she hired in the case. Willis and Wade have admitted to having had a romantic relationship but deny it caused a conflict of interest.

In a new filing, lawyers for former state GOP chair and Trump co-defendant David Shafer brought up a speech she made in January referencing Wade. Willis noted that Wade, who is Black, is the only one of her special prosecutors facing backlash, while the other two on the case are white. “The obvious intent of her remarks was to inject and infect the jury pool in Fulton County with unfounded allegations that anyone who dares question her or Mr. Wade’s conduct must have done so for racist purposes,” the motion argues. “These comments constitute prosecutorial, forensic misconduct and warrant her removal and that of her office from the prosecution of this case.”

Fani Willis Attends Hearing In Election Interference Case

ATLANTA, GEORGIA – NOVEMBER 21: Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis appears before Judge Scott McAfee for a hearing in the 2020 Georgia election interference case at the Fulton County Courthouse on November 21, 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia. Judge McAfee heard arguments as to whether co-defendant Harrison Floyd should go to jail for social media posts and comments that potentially targeted witnesses in the trial. McAfee declined to revoke Floyd’s bond. Floyd faced charges along with former US President Donald Trump and 17 others in an indictment that accuses them of illegally conspiring to subvert the will of Georgia voters in the 2020 presidential election.

Willis previously admitted to the “personal relationship” with Wade in an affidavit but claimed it began in 2022, after his appointment in the case. Her office said she “has no financial conflict of interest that constitutes a legal basis for disqualification,” and “has no personal conflict of interest that justifies her disqualification personally or that of the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office.”

Young Thug’s Jury Selection Is Tomorrow, Trial Set For November As D.A. Fani Willis Faces Threats

by

It’s been a hot minute since any major updates regarding Young Thug’s future have come out of Atlanta. However, on Tuesday (October 31) evening, it was confirmed that his trial isn’t far off from starting. After spending the better part of 2023 hunting down a suitable pool of 50 jury candidates, on Wednesday, 12 of them will be picked (along with six alternates) to listen to prosecutor Fani Willis and her team’s RICO case against YSL.

Journalist Jozsef Papp shared the update via Twitter. He specifically noted November 27 as the planned start date for the highly anticipated trial. Thug has been showered with support from longtime friends, collaborators, and fans while behind bars. Still, this time likely hasn’t been easy on his mental health. Seeing as he’s sitting with several co-defendants, it’s likely the legal proceedings will stretch on for some time. Nevertheless, Thugger remains confident in his ability to return home with a clean name.

Young Thug Finally Gets Good News

As he keeps himself occupied by playing Candy Crush behind bars, AllHipHop reports that Willis is facing concerning threats thanks to ongoing cases with both Thug and former POTUS, Donald Trump. The Fulton County DA claims to be receiving “hundreds” of inappropriate messages daily. Her staff is working overtime to track down the aggressors.

One of them, an Alabama resident named Arthur Ray Hansen II, has even been indicted thanks to his threats aimed at Willis and Patrick Labat, the local sheriff. “If you think you gonna take a mugshot of my President Donald Trump and it’s gonna be ok, you gonna find out that after you take that mugshot, some bad s**t probably gonna happen to you,” one voicemail the latter received says, according to the indictment.

Fani Willis Defends Use Of Rap Lyrics As Evidence

by

Fulton County DA Fani Willis has defended her choice to submit rap lyrics as evidence in the cases that she prosecutes. “I think if you decide to admit your crimes over a beat, I’m going to use it. I’m going to continue to do that; people can continue to be angry about it. I have some legal advice: Don’t confess to crimes on rap lyrics if you do not want them used. Or at least get out of my county. I’m not targeting anyone, but you do not get to commit crimes in my county and then decide to brag on it. Which you do as a form of intimidation, and not be held responsible,” Williams told reporters at the start of September.

Two notable examples of Willis submitting rap lyrics as evidence came in August. Willis submitted the music of members of the Drug Rich gang, who were accused of targeting the houses of rich and notable residents of Atlanta. Meanwhile, Willis also submitted Young Thug lyrics as evidence in the ongoing YSL RICO trial.

Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that one of the YSL attorneys actually gave Young Thug his first felony. YSL defense attorney Suri Chadha Jimenez has claimed he gave Young Thug his first-ever felony charge. According to Jimenez, who was speaking on the nuances of the current RICO case, he prosecuted Thug on a weapons charge back in 2014. Jimenez began his career as a prosecutor before going on to set up his own defense firm. Furthermore, Jimenez’s name has popped up throughout the trial as the attorney has gotten something of his own spotlight.

Meanwhile, prosecutors in Georgia successfully lobbied for the resumption of the larger YSL trial. Thug and seven other defendants are facing a litany of charges relating to the group’s operations in Atlanta. However, it has been a long and tortured process. Despite the trial starting in January, jury selection is currently ongoing. It is unclear when the trial proper will actually begin. Meanwhile, things were complicated further when Fulton County also indicted Donald Trump and over a dozen associates on charges relating to his interference in the 2020 election.

Kanye West’s Former Publicist Indicted In Donald Trump’s Election Case

by

Kanye West’s former publicist, Trevian C. Kutti, was among the names listed in the 41-count indictment unsealed by Fulton County, Georgia D.A. Fani Willis, regarding Donald Trump and fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Counts in the indictment accuse Kutti of “conspiracy to commit solicitation of false statement and writings” and “influencing witnesses,” among other charges. The indictment cites a recorded video of Kutti trying to pressure Ruby Freeman, a frightened Georgia election worker, into implicating herself in election fraud.

Count 30 accuses Kutti, as well as Stephen Cliffguard Lee and Harrison William Prescott Floyd, of “unlawfully conspired to solicit, request, and importune Ruby Freeman, a Fulton County, Georgia, election worker, to engage in conduct constituting the felony offense of False Statements and Writings, O.C.G.A. § 16-10-20, by knowingly and willfully making a false statement and representation concerning events at State Farm Arena in the November 3, 2020, presidential election in Georgia…with intent that said person engage in said conduct; and TREVIAN C. KUTTI traveled to Fulton County, Georgia, and placed a telephone call to Ruby Freeman while in Fulton County, Georgia, which were overt acts to effect the object of the conspiracy, contrary to the laws of said State, the good order, peace and dignity thereof.”

The timeline of Kutti and West’s relationship is unclear, but their names began popping up together in 2018, after Kutti stopped working with R. Kelly. In December 2021, a spokesperson for West told Reuters in a statement that “Trevian Kutti was not associated with Kanye West or any of his enterprises at the times of the facts that are reported in these articles or since these facts occurred.” The Reuters report noted that in 2021, Kutti’s online biography said she was a “publicist to Kanye West” in 2018 and served “as West’s Director of Operations.”

All in all, Donald Trump is facing four criminal indictments. Two of the indictments are in the states of New York and Georgia while the other two are on federal charges. Be on the lookout for further updates on each case on HotNewHipHop.

Donald Trump Seemingly Accuses Fani Willis Of Having A Sexual Relationship With YSL Mondo

by

Donald Trump is someone who is known for being a loose cannon. Overall, he will say anything when the pressure starts to get to him. Although, he has been able to maintain his base of support, regardless. Over the past few months, he has been indicted on three separate occasions. Some of these have to do with January 6th while others are simply election interference indictments. According to reports from Newsweek, Trump may even be indicted in George for election interference.

In fact, Donald Trump is very aware of this predicament. While in New Hampshire recently, Trump spoke to his audience about the potential indictment. In fact, he called out Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis. If you may recall, she is the woman who is currently leading the case against YSL. In the video down below, Trump accused Willis of having an affair with YSL co-founder Mondo. Of course, he does not say Mondo by name. Moreover, he doesn’t even say YSL. However, in a recent video released by his campaign, the Fani Willis and YSL Mondo allegation was made.

Donald Trump Speaks

“I probably have another [indictment],” Donald Trump said. “They say there’s a young woman, a young racist in Atlanta. She’s a racist. And they say, I guess, they say that she was after a certain gang, and she ended up having an affair with the head of the gang, or a gang member. And this is the person that wants to indict me.” The allegation stems from the fact that Willis once served as Mondo’s defense attorney. However, there is no evidence that they ever had a relationship. Trump’s claims seemingly came out of nowhere, and they are going viral for obvious reasons.

This is probably not the best course of action for Donald Trump given the charges that could be brought against him. Either way, it is clear that Trump is paying attention to all things YSL-related. Let us know what you think of his wild accusations, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

YSL Case: Lil Rod’s Father Says D.A. Promised Freedom For Snitching On Young Thug

by

It could take months before the finalized jury is chosen for the YSL case, meaning Young Thug and his associates have a long journey ahead. Of the over two dozen alleged associates listed in the RICO indictment against YSL, only eight co-defendants remain. Young Thug is counted among those still fighting for their freedom. He and his team also insist that YSL is a record label, not a criminal street organization, as prosecutors alleged.

They face allegations of being involved in a slew of crimes that include drug trafficking, intimidation, witness tampering, assault, conspiracy, and even attempted murder. District Attorney Fani Willis has been at the center of this highly publicized case, and according to defendant Lil Rod’s father, she offered him freedom. That is if he snitched on Young Thug.

“Ms. Willis went down to that jail and told my son if he—if!” the angry father shared in a clip. “Listen to what I say. I ain’t tellin’ you what I heard, I’m tellin’ you what I know. ‘If he say Thug gave him $10,000 to [inaudible] that boy, then we’ll let you out of jail.’” Lil Rod, real name Rodalius Ryan, has faced several issues since incarceration.

Ryan was recently involved in a run-in with a deputy. It was alleged that Lil Rod spat on the officer, resulting in being manhandled. Earlier this month, news reports stated that Ryan was also named with two others in an alleged jailhouse stabbing. Additionally, new charges are expected to be added due to that incident.

Rod’s attorney previously demanded an investigation into the altercation with the deputy. It was further alleged that the officer hit Rod in the head, leaving cuts and bruises. It was alleged that excessive force was used during the incident. Prosecutors were accused of expediting the investigation to cover up any mishandling.

Thug also continues to await his day in court as he denies culpability in illegal activity. It was rumored that Willis believed Thugger was the leader of a gang, so he hasn’t been offered a plea deal as several others have, including Gunna.

YSL Co-Founder Mondo Claims D.A. Fani Willis Used To Be His Lawyer

by

YSL Mondo unveiled some interesting details pertaining to District Attorney Fani Willis prior to launching a RICO case against Young Thug and his co-defendants.

During a recent interview with the Ugly Money podcast, the YSL co-founder revealed that Willis was once his defense attorney. Prior to landing a gig as the D.A. in Fulton County, Georgia, she represented Mondo, who wasn’t indicted in the RICO case, as his attorney.

“[She] was just my lawyer,” Mondo said, revealing that he has evidence to back up his claims. “I was the last case she was doing before she turned to being the [District Attorney].”

Additionally, Mondo said that there’s plenty of information publicly available to back up his claims. However, he said that Willis ultimately “switched sides” immediately after representing him. He also shot down rumors that she’d be able to use information gained during his tenure as Mondo’s attorney against the other YSL members.

“That was for real just my lawyer, bruh. I ain’t never seen this lady act like this. This shit weird to me. That’s how I know all this shit is about politics,” he continued. “I’m sitting here talkin’ to her just like how we talkin’. Fani Willis lady — I used to talk to this lady like an auntie… All this shit puzzling and scary as hell. And it’s a lot of bullshit they’re putting out… Shit ain’t right.”

Despite being a co-founder of YSL, Mondo was never indicted as part of the RICO case. However, he stated that YSL is not a gang elsewhere in the interview.
