Lil Baby’s Mugshot Released After His Chaotic Arrest In Las Vegas

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby’s Las Vegas trip did not go smoothly. The rapper was arrested after police suspected he had a concealed weapon on him. He got combative with the police, and asserted that he had a permit to carry before switching up and taunting them to perform a search. The footage of the incident made its way to TMZ. Lil Baby can be heard telling Las Vegas PD to search him well because he has a “gun in his nuts.” Now, his mugshot has been officially released to the public. He definitely looks like he’s been through a long ordeal.

Lil Baby’s eyes are unmistakably bloodshot in the mugshot. The rapper looks both exhausted and angry. Both fair under the circumstances, however. Fans on Instagram flocked to the comment section with the usual mixture of jokes and dismay. One user claimed that the mugshot photographer did Lil Baby dirty with the angle. Another lamented the fact that everybody looks bad in a mugshot, regardless of appearance or wealth. “Ion care how much money you got,” they wrote. “Them mugshot folks gon always make you look homeless..”

Lil Baby’s Attorney Claims He Has A Firearm Permit

Despite his combativeness with the police, Lil Baby’s attorney says that he was actually within his legal rights. David Chesnoff issued a statement to the Los Angeles Times stating that Lil Baby does, indeed, have a permit to carry a firearm. “[He has] a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit,” the attorney wrote. “On his behalf we are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest in Las Vegas.”

This is not Baby’s first rodeo. He was arrested for reckless driving back in 2019. Two years later, he was detained in France on suspicion of “transporting drugs.” CBS states that Baby was not officially arrested or charged during his detainment. He subsequently paid a fine. The rapper celebrated his freedom on Instagram the next day. “Thank You To Everyone Who (Checked) On Me!! I’m Good,” he wrote. “I’m (On The Way) To The States To Rock My Show At The Pavilion At Pan Am In Indianapolis!!”

SZA Has Brutally Honest Response To Fan Requesting Homework Help

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It goes without saying that SZA has a lot of talents, but according to her, math is simply not one of them. Earlier this week, the Grammy-winning artist took to her Instagram Story to share screenshots of some hilarious DMs she exchanged with a fan. In them, the fan tells SZA that they’re failing their geometry class, and asks for her help.

“Lmaooo ma’am I’m a math dummy,” she replied. “I’m not sure what u expected.” While the songstress didn’t appear confident in her ability to provide the fan with any assistance, she proceeded to ask them to be more specific. “Tell me bout the shapes chile,” she wrote, “How can I help.”

SZA Tells Fan They’re “Cooked”

From there, the fan sent SZA a photo of a problem they were struggling to solve. “I just can’t do this,” they explained, adding various crying and broken heart emojis. Unfortunately, she appears to have taken one look at the problem and determined that there was no chance she could help. “Oh b*tch ur cooked,” she bluntly informed them. While SZA was unable to save her fan from failing geometry, she made it clear in her caption that she was honored they believed she could. “I appreciate the faith in me,” she wrote.

As for what else SZA’s been up to these days, she was recently spotted enjoying a trip to Bali alongside Lizzo. She told fans earlier this month that she would be taking a break from performing for a while too, though it’s unclear exactly when she plans to get back to it. “Yesterday was my last show for a while. Finally bout to get my life together thank u God,” she announced at the time. What do you think of a fan asking SZA for help on their math homework? What about her hilarious response? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Camron Recalls Bailing Out His Friends For A Staggering Load Of Cash

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cam’ron is a vivid and gifted storyteller, whether it’s in his music or when talking about what part of the United States produces the best lyricists. However, he can also look back at old tales and rejuvenate him with his revealing commentary, as he recently did for his Instagram followers on Wednesday (August 28). Moreover, the Dipset member explained what happened at a traffic stop in New England on a cold night in 2003 while the group toured their debut album, Diplomatic Immunity. Authorities arrested Orlando Young and Piri Pantoja for possessing a firearm without a license and three counts of assault with intent to murder.

“One night, we was just driving down I-91, I believe,” Cam’ron began his story. “The cops pulled the tour bus over like [it was] the end of Set It Off when Cleo was about to run through the barricade with all the cops. They had like 92 cop cars out there! They pull us off the tour bus talking about, ‘Yo, somebody’s car windows got shot out.’ [I said,] ‘I don’t know how that happened, officer’ […] Now, it’s three degrees outside. I’m freezing. I’m looking at n***as like, ‘Y’all know what’s going on? ‘Cause I don’t.’” He said that Juelz Santana probably hid under the bus’ muffler (“That boy know how to hide“) and that the cops told him, Jim Jones, and J.R. Writer to “get their face[s] out their shirts” in spite of the freezing weather.

“Now the car pulls up that got the windows shot out, talking about, ‘Yeah, it was one of them,’” Cam’ron went on. “We like, ‘Nobody got time for this nonsense.’ I’m standing there like it was not one of us. Bus driver looking like, ‘I’ll tell on any of y’all.’ Look at him. ‘I don’t know nobody.’” When cops found weapons in the vehicle, they denied that they were theirs. “Now they lock two of my n***as up, I start talking s**t. ‘I don’t care what the bail is, I’m bailing n***as out.’ The bail was $4.8 million. Oh my God, I was sick. But I bailed n***as out, though, and everybody was good. Peace.”

Furthermore, police claimed that the suspects shot from Cam’ron and Dipset’s tour bus at a car with three females in it. They also hit Monique E. Garnett, the driver, with unlawful firearm and drug possession, plus passenger Keith Blacknell with similar charges. While the Diplomats members did not receive any charges, they reportedly witnessed the gunfire. It’s the kind of thing that probably caused 50 Cent to regret his beef with Cam and others.

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Air Jordan 8 “Bugs Bunny” is gearing up for a big return in 2025, exciting fans of both basketball and classic sneakers.

Cardi B Reveals Why She Doesn’t Need Security Amid Fan Concerns

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Recently, one fan spotted Cardi B out and about in New York City by herself. She appeared to be in good spirits, but the clip sparked a great deal of concern from her supporters. She took to X to address the clip of the unexpected sighting, making it clear that it wasn’t a big deal. “It was like 9am and I was hungry …..also nobody finna touch me,” she said.

That did little to ease fans’ concerns, however. They continued to flood her with demands not to go out alone. Again, she clarified that she was fine and that there was no need for fans to worry. “My house got 24/7 security,” she also explained. “I’m very spontaneous and I like my privacy… Sometimes I want to go to the deli or make a quick target run …I’m not waiting around till security come ….ALSO I ALWAYS ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING ON ME!”

Cardi B’s “Always Got Something” On Her

Still, the Bardigang was unconvinced, despite her emphasizing the fact that she hates “being babied.” One X user even claimed that one of her posts was a “trauma response,” which she quickly denied. “Wtffff yall be talking about …yall need help,” she responded. “It was 9am and I went to get a bacon egg and cheese …STOP WIT THIS cry baby sh*t ..Y’all too p**** …let me get off this app cause yall irritating me and is not even funny.”

Clearly, Cardi’s got it covered and doesn’t appreciate being treated like she doesn’t. With that being said, it’s no surprise that fans are feeling more protective of their fave than usual, as she’s currently expecting her third child with her ex Offset. She’s been on the hunt for an apartment in NYC lately too, which could explain why she was in town. What do you think of Cardi B telling fans not to worry about her after she was spotted by herself in NYC earlier this week? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Playboi Carti Scores Legal Win In UMG Copyright Case Over Incorrect Takedown

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti and Universal Music Group (UMG) just dodged a huge legal bullet thanks to a new ruling from a federal judge. Moreover, this case stems from the aforementioned artist and label taking down a song from G-Baby which uses the same beat from Carti and Pi’erre Bourne’s “Right Now.” However, G-Baby actually released his song “Oi!” before “Right Now” and did so with a legal license to use this same beat. The judge in this matter ruled that the “FIELD TRIP” creative and UMG didn’t violate the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) when they mistakenly took “Oi!” down since they didn’t intend to do so.

Furthermore, this ruling emerged on Tuesday (August 27) amid an update in last year’s lawsuit from G-Baby against Playboi Carti and UMG. The suit claimed that this takedown violated the DMCA’s stipulations protecting creators from improper takedowns. However, the judge in this ruling cited that previous decisions indicate how these safeguards only apply to intentionally irresponsible uses of the legal framework to shut other products down. As such, it seems like the “No Face” MC (which might appear on streaming services soon) will be in the clear.

“Because the DMCA requires only a good faith belief that material is infringing, a copyright holder is not liable for misrepresentation under the DMCA if they subjectively believe the identified material infringes their copyright, even if that belief is ultimately mistaken,” Judge Analisa Torres expressed. She also explained how G-Baby admitted that the UMG employee who took “Oi!” down didn’t know that he licensed the beat that Playboi Carti also used. “This admission alone dooms [G-Baby’s] claim against UMG,” Torres posited. Hopefully Carti and The Weeknd don’t face these issues on their supposed next collab.

Back to the story at hand: “[G-Baby] cites no caselaw for the proposition that one employee’s knowledge that a use may be non-infringing should be imputed to another employee who independently issues a takedown notice on behalf of the company,” the judge ruled. “Although [Playboi Carti] may well have been aware of (and displeased with) [G-Baby’s] license to use the beat, [G-Baby] has failed to establish that [Carti] had any part in the takedown notices.” We’ll see what happens next for one of Complex‘s best Atlanta rappers of all time.

T-Boz Addresses Rumors About Recent Hospitalization After TLC Cancelations

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last weekend, TLC announced that they had to cancel a slew of upcoming shows due to T-Boz’s recent hospitalization. They shared the disappointing news in a statement on their Instagram Story, revealing that T-Boz had been diagnosed with a severe abdominal blockage. According to her, however, she would have preferred if the statement had been less detailed. In a clip shared on Instagram today, she addresses the various rumors that have been circulating since the announcement, making it clear that her condition has nothing to do with Ozempic or Sickle Cell.

“People have died from what I went through,” she said. “It had nothing to do with Sickle Cell… It had nothing to with constipation. No, I’m not on Ozempic. Everybody and every celeb ain’t on Ozempic. The ignorance is disheartening to me. I would just pray for people or if I had nothing to say I would shut the hell up and say nothing at all, but y’all don’t know how to f*****g do that. It amazes me how negative the world is.”

But let me help educate some since there’s so many new doctors out here and y’all seem to know so much about everything but nothing…. Stay Happy and Healthy …. I’ll See Yall Soon At The Rescheduled Shows… I’m Doing Great And Blessed!!!” she wrote.
