N3on Surprises Fans With First Stream Back Since Arrest In Dubai

by

N3on is easily one of the biggest streamers in the entire world right now. Overall, his come up has been fairly controversial. This is because he has said slurs on his streams, all while trying to manufacture drama. Quite frankly, his streams embody the kind of brain rot that is prevalent on the internet these days. However, people still watch him, and when something big happens to him, you can be sure it will lead to a lot of discourse on social media. Most recently, N3on went through a situation while streaming in Dubai.

At the time of his arrest, N3on appeared to be in big trouble. He has been accused of recording in an unauthorized way, and there were reports that he could very well get hit with a one-year jail sentence in the United Arab Emirates. In the end, however, he was released by authorities, and now here we are. Yesterday, N3on delivered his first stream since the arrest, and fans were pretty surprised to see him, especially given the fact that some thought he was toast.

Kid Cudi is on one hell of a hot streak. In addition to joining the Coachella week two lineup, he just announced his engagement to menswear designer Lola Abecassis Sartore. The couple attended the Paramount+ premiere party for Knuckles together; Cudi later shared photos from the event on Instagram with a heartfelt caption. It was a splashy reveal, but it left fans wondering just how long the two had been dating before Cudi let the cat out of the bag.

However, the answer remains unclear as they kept their relationship under wraps so well. The relationship is likely fairly recent, as Cudi told Esquire in 2022 he was looking for someone special. “I want a girlfriend,” he said at the time. “I need to be with somebody. Most people would think I enjoy being single, because I’m single a lot. But I’m a relationship man… My goal is to find someone. Soon, hopefully. And get married and have more kids.”

It certainly appears he’s one step closer to that goal. In his caption debuting his new fiancee, the groundbreaking hip-hop star wrote, “This amazing woman makes me so happy, she is everything to me and im so excited to share this news w u all. Life is wild, and right when I felt my future was uncertain, it became crystal clear with Lola. Happy Cud in full effect.”

Kodak Black’s Legal Troubles Got Simpler After A Count From His Recent Arrest Was ‘Completely Dismissed’

Last December, Kodak Black was arrested in South Florida. At the time, The Associated Press reported that the Florida-born rapper was facing charges of cocaine possession and jailed in Broward County. The substance was later identified by a lab test as oxycodone rather than cocaine. In late February, Kodak Black was freed “after a federal judge sentenced him to time served for a probation violation,” according to The Associated Press. Prior to his release, as reported by the Sun Sentinel, Broward County Circuit Judge Barbara Duffy had dismissed Kodak’s oxycodone charge because prosecutors’ arguments “do not refute or negate” that Kodak had an oxycodone prescription.

On Wednesday, April 17, Kodak Black’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, posted on Instagram that Kodak has had another count dismissed.

“Count 2 is now dismissed of Kodak’s ‘possession of cocaine’ that wasn’t cocaine case that should have never been filed or brought by the Broward State Atty Office,” Cohen captioned his post, which shows the documentation of “Order Granting Defendant’s Motion To Dismiss Count II.” “We showed them his script prior to filing, and they decided to file anyway… even knowing the officer was wrong about the substance and his story changing and making no sense. That case is now completely dismissed.”

According to TMZ, the police in said that Glorilla’s arrest occurred in the early hours of Tuesday at 4 a.m. when police saw a car execute an illegal U-turn at a red light. Immediately, the police flagged down the vehicle out of suspicion of the driver, prompting a traffic stop to investigate further. Police said they detected scents of cannabis and alcohol emanating from the vehicle. GloRilla, who revealed that she was returning from a venue,  later admitted that she consumed alcohol earlier in the evening, though she insisted that she was capable of safely operating a motor vehicle. However, she declined to disclose how much alcohol she consumed. 

Field Sobriety Test

As a result of her admission, GloRilla underwent a field sobriety test. The police report states that she exhibited signs of impairment including struggling to maintain balance and following instructions. They claimed that she performed poorly on the eye-follow-test, walk-and-turn, and one-leg balance. However, things took a further turn once GloRilla reportedly refused to undergo a breathalyzer test. Moreover, police noted that GloRilla suffered a wardrobe malfunction as one of GloRilla’s breasts inadvertently became exposed ahead of her arrest.

GloRilla Posts Bond 

Fortunately, this episode only lasted a few hours for the Memphis rapper. Police took her into custody on charges of DUI, open container and failure to obey a traffic control device. The rapper had one of her associates pick up her vehicle while police brought her to the station. There, she posted a bond of $1,956 and was later released, per WSBTV.

Response To Arrest

Thusfar, GloRilla hasn’t directly acknowledged her arrest. However, she did post an image of herself with a bottle of Taylor Port after she was released, further angering fans. Though purported mugshots have surfaced online, the rapper has continued to push her single, “Wanna Be” ft. Megan Thee Stallion – her Instagram page is flooded with posts from the single’s inspired challenge. However, GloRilla’s arrest also earned her some trolls, specifically from Damian Lillard’s estranged wife. Kay’la Lillard shared a photo of GloRilla’s mugshot to her Instagram Story, writing, “Free GloLillard #sisterwife.” If you recall, Glo previously tried to shoot her shot at the NBA star, which kind of backfired on her. 

What’s Next For Glo?

Hopefully, the chapter surrounding GloRilla’s arrest will all be resolved soon, especially since she is set to hit the road in the coming months. Following the release of GloRilla’s single, “Wanna Be” with Megan Thee Stallion, the Houston rapper announced that she would be hitting the road on the 2024 Hot Girl Summer tour which kicks off in Minneapolis on May 14th. Glo recently dropped off her project, Ehhthang Ehhthang which has continued to impact the charts.
