Sheff G Reportedly Held Dinner Party For Gang Members After Hit

by

On Tuesday (May 16), Sheff G found himself in the middle of a massive arrest, charged alongside 32 other suspected gang members. As part of the gang bust, prosecutors alleged that these are members of the 8 Trey Crips and the 9 Ways and carried out dozens of shootings and at least one murder. Moreover, they maintain that the 140-count indictment stems from their attempt to consolidate power across territories. However, there is one event in particular that prosecutors believe strongly indicates Sheff and Sleepy Hallow’s involvement. Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez believes they reportedly treated eight alleged members to a Manhattan steakhouse dinner following a successful hit.

Specifically, they stand accused of celebrating a 2020 shooting that left Theodore Senior dead at 23, plus five other injuries, at Prospect Lefferts Gardens. According to NYPD Deputy Chief Jason Savino, Sheff G and Hallow donned matching outfits at the occasion. Also, they allegedly bestowed a custom gold necklace with the victim’s nickname etched onto it to a particular guest of honor at the dinner. The victims reportedly belonged to the Folk Nation gang, and Sheff confirmed the hit via text and also ordered another one because of a shooting at his house. Allegedly, his sister also participated in the attack by letting her brother know via text that a Folk Nation member “had to get hit or killed.”

“The senseless gun violence, allegedly committed by these defendants, terrorized our neighbors for years and left more than a dozen people with serious injuries,” Gonzalez remarked according to ABC7. “It is distressing to know that some of the violence was allegedly fueled by a young man who used money he made from a successful music career to allegedly pay for and encourage acts of violence. Sheff G became a prominent member of this gang and became central to our investigation. Sheff G used a lot of the money that he earned to facilitate further gang activity. He encouraged gang members to participate in violent crimes.”

Meanwhile, this case is all the more worrisome considering that the two Brooklyn drill rappers just got out of prison. Still, these are big charges to face, especially after such a long time behind bars. The Brooklyn D.A. also made it clear that not a “single lyric” contributed to their case against the rappers and their colleagues. For more updates on this story and the latest news on Sheff G, come back to HNHH.

6 Treys Member Arrested For Allegedly Trying To Avenge Nas Blixky’s Shooting

by

Nas Blixky survived a shooting earlier this year, and an alleged member of the 6 Treys gang was arrested by police for recently and reportedly trying to avenge it. Moreover, the rapper fortunately survived, a fate that others in his camp unfortunately didn’t get a chance to see. Furthermore, the New York Daily News reported that 22-year-old Taj Zeigler was arrested and detained at Brooklyn Federal Court on Friday (April 7). According to the charges, Zeigler tried to shoot the person responsible for the attack on Nas on January 28, 2022, just six days after Blixky was shot.

However, his efforts proved unsuccessful, and he hit no such target. To elaborate, Zeigler reportedly belongs to the 6 Treys, an offshoot of the Folk Nation Gangster Disciples that Larry Hoover founded in 1960s Chicago. Not only that, but police were able to identify Zeigler (who wore a mask during the shooting) because of footage showing him wearing “black Marmot-brand puffer jacket and two-toned black and grey sneakers.” Through some social media sleuthing, authorities found that said outfit is similar to one he wore in various videos and pictures.

Moreover, his charges include possessing ammunition as a felon, and additional charges are unknown as of writing this article. After Nas Blixky’s shooting, his stepfather told the aforementioned publication that he’d retire from the game. “On Facebook they’re saying he’s dead but he’s still alive,” he stated. “The rapper Nas Blixky is dead. The stage name is gone. Many people want him dead. I told him he’s better than that. You want him dead? He’s dead. He’ll be back with better music and better lyrics.”

Meanwhile, Nas Blixky fought back against these claims in a Complex interview. “I f**k all these n***as’ b***hes. I’m the flyest,” he said. “Sometimes I can get cocky with it, ’cause it’s the n***as that be coming at me. But sometimes I be humble with it, you feel me? ’Cause, just like this, it can be taken from you. I got my cocky s**t out… now it’s time to fall back and lay low. I ain’t never done dissin’.” Furthermore, along with 23 other alleged gang members, he faces charges of attempted murder, conspiracy, endangerment, and more.

Jay-Z Had Bloods In The Studio Because Of Jim Jones, The Latter Claims

by

Recently on The Amazing AllHipHop podcast, Jim Jones spoke to Chuck Creekmur about a lot of different topics. One particular story he told regarded his time at Baseline Studios, the now-defunct studio that Roc-A-Fella called its home in midtown Manhattan. Originally, the studio was owned by Jay-Z and O.G. Juan, and spent its last years under Just Blaze’s supervision before closing in 2010. Furthermore, the Dipset MC fondly recalled his time with Jay at Baseline, and gave listeners an interesting anecdote that meshed the music game and the streets. Around the 42-minute mark in his conversation with AllHipHop, Jones explained how he’d pull up to the studio with a lot of Bloods.

Of course, Hov’s aspirational and detailed brand of hip-hop built an acumen that enabled him to speak to the streets as much as he was straying further from them into billionaire status. However, that was a tightrope walk that he balanced all throughout his career, even to this day as he tries to inspire others to “make it out.” Regardless, Jay-Z apparently wanted a certain level of respect from gang members visiting the stu, according to Jim Jones.

Jim Jones Brought Bloods To Jay-Z’s Studio

“We were right in Harlem so we ain’t have to cross no bridges or nothing to get there,” Jim Jones remarked. “It was literally a seven-minute ride to get down there. We used to come in there all the time. Me piling in there with like 20 Bloods with me. [Jay-Z] looking at me like I’m crazy. One day I came in there with so many Bloods, Jay was like, ‘Come here, come here, come here.’ Like he was my uncle.“

“I’m not worried about all the Bloods you bring here.’” Jay-Z reportedly told Jim Jones. “I don’t care about none of that. But when you bring the gangsters in here, make sure the gangsters holler at me before anything else ’cause this is my house.” Later in the interview, Jones also reflected on gambling with The Blueprint MC and Memphis Bleek and other wild tales. Check out the full interview above and come back to HNHH for the latest updates and tales from Jim Jones and Jay-Z.

OMB Bloodbath Accused Of Assisting Violent Gang Murder

by

OMB Bloodbath faced accusations of participating in a violent gang murder, which come from a 2017 shooting. Moreover, the rising Houston rapper allegedly aided her gang, the 100% Third Ward, in committing a gruesome attack. Furthermore, she stands indicted of a RICO charge (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), which frequent readers know is serious business. Investigators maintained that Bloodbath, real name Alexandra Elizabeth Nicks, is a leader in this criminal organization. Also, they accused her of relaying messages from a 103 leader behind bars to fellow gang members in Houston streets.

In addition, these RICO charges likely stem from claims that the 29-year-old organized various crimes carried out by the gang under her direction. Not only that, but court documents obtained by AllHipHop reveal more details concerning these accusations. According to paperwork, the rapper and others murdered Sam Johnson on behalf of the 103 gang on October 16. 2017. Another victim, identified as a member of rival gang Young Scott Block (YSB), was injured in the shooting.

Also, investigators obtained surveillance footage which depicts a stolen Mazda driving by and shooting Johnson and the injured victim near a residence. In the footage, the car crashed into a drainage ditch, but the assailants kept shooting. Four men kept firing and ran towards a motel. Then, three shooters threw a woman and her infant out of a Kia Sedona that was near the street of the attack before driving away. After the shooting, officials reviewed jail calls between the Houston rapper and an incarcerated 103 leader.

During these recorded calls, the “Not Gang” artist and the prisoner discussed drive-by shootings by another gang, planning retaliation. Also, she told the leader about her upcoming record deal and said she’d pay “youngins” to shoot. “You’re going to have some good news in the morning when you turn on channel 13,” she allegedly told the leader the night before Johnson’s murder. As always, come back to HNHH for the latest on OMB Bloodbath and updates on this story.

Several Members Of Sauce Walka’s Crew Arrested On RICO Charges

by

After recent updates on YSL’s RICO case have rocked this week, the FBI found another rap-related collective to behave criminally. Federal and local authorities arrested several members of Sauce Walka’s crew in Houston, Texas. Over 200 officials contributed to the apprehension and are on the case.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Houston division announced the arrest and explained their intent.

“For every violent criminal that we take off the streets, that’s one less person being victimized,” said James Smith, Special Agent in charge of the FBI Houston division.

Authorities arrested 14 alleged gang members from The Sauce Factory just days after its 32-year-old figurehead clowned Gunna for his plea deal on social media. Moreover, Walka joked at the Atlanta rapper’s responses to questions about YSL. “Yes sir,” he jested, “can I go home now?” Also, he reposted his BET cypher over “pushin’ p,” and wrote “I feel sorry for Jeffery.”

As the YSL case has demonstrated, RICO charges and close affiliations can be very damaging to artists and people involved. While authorities didn’t give many specific details about the case, more information is bound to come soon. However, local news reporters did specify some of the charges law officials gave the accused. The TSF crew faces charges of drug trafficking and unlawful possession of a firearm.

As of now, it’s unclear whether Sauce Walka himself had any involvement in the presented charges. Still, given that it’s a RICO case, it’s likely that law enforcement will investigate the entire collective. As for Gunna, he was seemingly able to avoid the brunt, but we don’t know if TSF members will have that luxury. In addition, many criticized Gunna’s plea deal, whether because of Gunna himself or the system he finds himself in. Maybe TSF will face a similar tough decision, but hopefully their case goes smoothly.

While this story is still developing, what do you think this means for Sauce Walka and The Sauce Factory? Will this be different to YSL’s indictment? Let us know in the comments down below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH to catch up with more emerging news from this story.
