Nearly one year ago, YNW Melly’s co-defendant YNW Bortlen was granted his pre-trial release in the double murder case involving two members of the YNW collective. The rapper, whose real name is Cortlen Henry, has been dropping new music since his release, garnering a slight buzz for himself but it looks like that all could be taken away from him again because, according to a new report by Complex, authorities are seeking to arrest Henry for allegedly violating the terms of his release.
A pre-trial specialist has reportedly told the publication that YNW Bortlen has “not properly conducted himself” in recent weeks, allegedly being tracked through his ankle monitor to a couple of different strip clubs, despite getting permission to travel for work. Bortlen was reportedly given permission to leave his house for work purposes on March 27, but he was linked to a King of Diamonds nightclub as well as a personal residence. The following day, he was granted another work-related pass to leave his house and was tracked to Playhouse Gentlemen’s Club and a G5ive Gentlemen’s Club.
A spokesperson for the Broward County Courthouse has reportedly confirmed that Bortlen’s pre-trial release was revoked on Monday. A judge was reportedly called for the rapper’s arrest.
YNW Bortlen most recently updated his social media accounts an hour ago, so it’s likely that he has not been arrested yet. We will keep you updated as new information is released.

Kodak Black was the reported target of a recent shooting in Tallahassee, Florida, which resulted in the rapper’s security guard being rushed to the hospital for gunshot wounds in his leg. Kodak was safely escorted away from the McDonald’s restaurant where shots were fired on Monday morning. The rapper was reportedly returning from a festival performance nearby, being followed to the restaurant and ambushed when he arrived.
Yak recently told Pooh Shiesty that he could “relate” to a caption he shared about all of his opps getting shot at. He later popped up on Instagram Live on Tuesday to speak even more about the shooting, downplaying it and proving that he’s doing just fine.
“A b*tch ain’t even gone play with me,” said the 23-year-old artist. “When I saw the [news reports] I was like, what the f*ck? This ain’t no sh*t like– Y’all trying to make it like, one of these little industry b*tches. That sh*t was just some little bullsh*t on some lame little sh*t that transpired on some lame sh*t, homie. If you a real stepper out here, you gone know, I’m in this life. Baby blue sh*t. That’s Yak right there.”
He went on to further dispel that the shooting was fueled by rap beef, claiming that his mother checked in with him on Tuesday. “Leave me alone, man,” he said about the situation. “I ain’t f*cking with nobody. Yak been zoolin’.”

When Cardi B released her No. 1 single “Up” in February, fans were convinced it meant her sophomore album was right around the corner. However, Cardi is still a ways away from dropping the LP as she’s got a lot on her plate, including a new haircare line. That’s why she says she’s planning on taking a break in order to focus all of her energy on putting the finishing touches on her anticipated album.
In an interview with XXL for their Spring 2021 cover, Cardi talked fame, the “WAP” controversy, and what’s in store for her next album. The rapper revealed that she put her sophomore album on hold during the pandemic because she was having difficulty staying creative, but she plans on “going away for a very long time” in order to hunker down and finish the LP:
“I feel like at this point, it’s like a timeline that I created. Because last year, I was like, I gotta put out my album this year. But, then I just stopped working on my album out of nowhere because I feel like the whole COVID thing discouraged me to put out my album. Because I want to put out an album, and I want to tour. […] I got like, a week of making sure I handle all my business, making sure everything is good, go to meetings. And then, I’m going away for a very long time to finish my album.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, Cardi said that it disappointing her when people assume she talks politics only for clout. The rapper reminded haters that she’s been interested in politics for as long as she can remember, and she now has a responsibility to use her voice. “But when it comes to things that’s going on in the environment and government, I like to say what’s on my mind,” she said. “And, sometimes I hate it because I’m not saying it to get attention. I always feel like if God gave you a voice, use it. And people who say that I’m doing it for attention, it’s like, attention my ass. I really like to get to the bottom of sh*t. I don’t need attention.”
Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Bronx-bred hip-hop queen Cardi B had one of the most successful debut album rollouts back in 2018 with her multiplatinum-selling premiere project, Invasion Of Privacy. Her trajectory in the rap game has been ascending amazingly since, and now she can add another notch to her belt now that the album is officially one of the longest-charting albums in Billboard history by a female rapper.
Right on time for Invasion Of Privacy‘s three-year anniversary today (April 6), official chart reports state that the album has spent a whopping three years on the Billboard 200 after placing at #97 on the most recent tally. That’s a really dope feat for an album to still have “top 100” level domination on a music chart years after its initial release. Of course, that’s due to the success of both the album and singles alike, including Cardi’s big win at the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards back in 2019 when Invasion Of Privacy won for “Best Rap Album” (seen above).
As far as the singles, pretty much every one of them did some pretty impressive numbers on the Hot 100. Lead single “Bodak Yellow” literally dominated 2017 as a whole, spending weeks in the top spot and finding itself on multiple end-of-year lists. “Bartier Cardi” was a top 20 hit as well, in addition to “Be Careful” plus the Bad Bunny & J Balvin-assisted chart-topper “I Like It.” Even her Kehlani collaboration “Ring” faired well by peaking at #28. Overall, however you feel about Cardi B in terms of her rap skills, there’s no denying the lady is a hitmaker on all levels. Barbz, your girl is still a rap queen as well — don’t be too mad!
Congrats, Cardi! Let us know what your favorite track is off her record-breaking debut album, Invasion Of Privacy, down below in the comments. Here’s one of ours:
A member of Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods Philadelphia Chapter, Louis Daniel Morales, also known as King Troub93, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for distributing large quantities of methamphetamine and other controlled substances in the Reading, Pennsylvania area in 2019, according to United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams.
After a trial, the judge gave Morales the heavy sentence along with five years of supervised release, and a $2,000 fine for the crimes.
According to The United States Department of Justice website, the rapper was “investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police as part of a conspiracy which was responsible for trafficking methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine in and around Berks County.”
The FBI also revealed in the press release that Morales sold “800 grams of methamphetamine and an additional quantity of heroin” to a Pennsylvania State Police Trooper, who acted as an undercover buyer on three different occasions “between May and June 2019.”
During the investigation, which also relied on a federal wiretap, officials learned that Morales had access to a “seemingly endless supply of methamphetamine,” via conversations with Morales and drug suppliers, as well as customers. It is via this wiretap that the FBI discovered Morales was trafficking marijuana alongside his mother, who, they learned, is directly connected to the Mexican drug cartel.
Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods entered public consciousness after 6ix9ine revealed his affiliation with the New York chapter and was later arrested for it. He was infamously released in April 2020 after cooperating with officials and testifying against several members of the group, leading to new arrests.
