Diddy’s Lawyers Reportedly Plan On Bringing Up Rodney Jones’ Alleged Criminal History

by

According to new unconfirmed reports, Diddy’s legal team is taking new measures to combat the claims made by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones against him. Moreover, for those unaware, Jones accused him of sexual assault and sex trafficking, explosive claims similar to others that came forward. However, these are only allegations and all of the accusations put forth have been unconfirmed by a court of law at press time and the validity of any evidence is also unconfirmed. This new report from the Daily Mail suggests that Sean Combs’ lawyers, in addition to denying all of Lil Rod’s claims in tandem with Combs standing by his claims of innocence, are supposedly pointing to Rod’s alleged criminal history.

Furthermore, the outlet reports that Diddy’s legal representation is allegedly pointing to a reckless homicide conviction that Rodney Jones received back in 2003. In addition, defense lawyers in this specific case are apparently alleging that Rod also faced multiple assault charges that eventually resulted in dismissal. Tyrone Blackburn, Jones’ attorney and a staunch proponent that Puff will be indicted soon, responded to these allegations via a Page Six statement. In it, he claims that this is merely an attempt from the defense team to distract from supposedly harsher upcoming consequences, and that Rod pleaded guilty to this because he didn’t have proper legal representation.

“I am sure you know that a charge is not a conviction,” Blackburn said of Diddy’s team’s claims. “So, running this story on behalf of [Diddy’s camp] is problematic and calls into question your integrity as a journalist. Mr. Jones’ July 2003 reckless homicide occurred when he was 17 years old. He was driving a vehicle with his cousin in the passenger seat. The police pulled him over, but he was afraid and drove off. It was pretty typical behavior for a young black boy in Chicago when pulled over by the police. As a result, he totaled the vehicle, and his cousin, who was his best friend, died.

“He has to live with the guilt of the death of his best friend and family member for the rest of his life,” he continued. “But don’t let that stop you from running this story and getting your clicks. [Diddy’s] legal team can do nothing to distract from the fact that he will be indicted soon.” One of the Bad Boy mogul’s attorney’s previously claimed to TMZ that Lil Rod is “a liar who filed a $30 billion lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday” along with the team’s other denials of any and all wrongdoing. It’s also important to note that Blackburn received criticism in the past for supposedly questionable litigation tactics. For more news and the latest updates on Diddy, keep checking in with HNHH.

Sergio Brown Arrested In California In Connection With Mother’s Death

by

Sergio Brown has been deported from Mexico and arrested by customs officials in San Diego, according to TMZ. The ex-NFL player has been in Mexico ever since his mother Myrtle was found dead near her home in Illinois. Brown was initially missing as his mother’s death was ruled a homicide. However, he later began posting concerning videos on social media from Mexico. That came to an end earlier this week as he was removed from the country. Plans are already reportedly underway to extradite him from California to Illinois. He is currently being held in jail in California at the time of writing.

Brown was a starting safety for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish but undrafted in 2010. However, he was later signed by the Patriots and would play nearly 100 games over the next seven seasons, although he would only ever start 15 games. He retired in 2016 following a brief stint with the Bills. Finishing his career with 144 tackles, Brown also played for the Colts and Jags. His time with the Bills came after a training camp with the Falcons.

Sergio Brown Investigation: What We Know

Many questions still remain about what happened roughly a month ago in Maywood, Illinois. Relatives reported Sergio and Myrtle missing on September 16. Myrtle’s sister said she had spoken with her since September 14. Later that day, police found Myrtle beside a creek near her home.

The charges he is facing have not been made public. However, sources told TMZ that Brown has been charged in connection with his mother’s death.

6lack And Jessie Reyez Play Toxic Lovers On Their Chaotic And Entertaining New ‘Homicide’ Collaboration

by

6lack and Jessie Reyez have once again joined forces for their brand new collaboration, “Homicide.” After teasing it on social media with the cover art earlier this week, many fans had wondered exactly what to expect.

The result is the two trading lyrical turns, telling the story of toxic lovers. Taking more of the title’s energy, she wants to make 6lack’s fictional ex jealous — and he is equally here for the energy, singing about a chaotic love affair.

“Don’t make her pull up, pull up, pull up,” 6lack raps. “She got a shooter, she ready to suit up / Hand in my face and she wishin’ me / Darin’ me, touch me, like do sum, do sum.”

“Find out that your ex live close, so I’m tryna f*ck you with the windows open,” Reyez adds. “Love it when your jealousy shows a little / Love it when you check my phone and give me some sh*t, then you give me some d*ck.”

Reyez and 6lack previously performed together on “Imported” and “Forever” — making this new song seem like a perfect finale to a solid trilogy of music.

Check out 6lack and Jessie Reyez’s “Homicide” song above. 6lack is set to kick off his next tour this Sunday, so he also shared an emotional solo track titled “Mean It,” which you can listen to below.

Sexyy Red Shooting Victim Identified By Police In Florida

by

The man killed near the set of a Sexyy Red music video has been identified as 36-year-old Anthony Dennis. Broward County Sheriffs say Dennis was one of two people shot at a flea market where Red was shooting a video earlier this month. Dennis was declared dead at the scene while the other victim was taken to hospital. However, police have declined to provide the identity of the hospitalized individual.

Red took to social media after the shooting to deny any connection between her video shoot and the incident. “I send my condolences to the family of the man who lost his life and prayers up for the person who was wounded. But I gotta address the rumors that it happened at my video shoot bc shit is not true, at all. To be clear it happened at a gas station across the street from my video set. Florida Highway Patrol and Broward County Sheriff confirmed that the shooting wasn’t on my set,” Red wrote at the time.

However, police are currently investigating whether Dennis’ murder is connected to any of the other recent shootings in the area. The potentially linked crimes are the shooting near Red’s set, the murder of the mother of Kodak Black-affiliated rapper Syko Bob, and the murder of another, as-yet-unidentified local rapper. Furthermore, of particular interest to investigators is the similarity between the deaths of Syko Bob’s mother and the unidentified rapper. In both cases, the victim was reportedly ambushed by assailants who were allegedly waiting for their victim.

In regards to Dennis’ murder, the local sheriff’s department is asking for anyone with information to come forward. Those with information are being asked to contact Homicide Detective John Curcio at 954-321-4212. Anonymous tips can be provided to Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477 or browardcrimestoppers.org.

Sergio Brown Posts Concerning Video Quoting “Finding Nemo” Amid Mother’s Death Investigation

by

The story surrounding former NFL backup safety Sergio Brown has taken another strange turn. Brown posted a video to his Instagram story, geotagged at the Sydney Opera House. In the video, Brown quotes the animated film Finding Nemo while appearing to be in a bar or a similar setting. The video has gone viral on social media, with many viewers deeming it to be a “manic episode”.

Brown, who retired from the NFL after the 2016 season, has been thrust into the national spotlight in recent days. On September 16, family members reported him and his mother missing. His mother, Myrtle, was later found deceased beside a creek near her house. Her death was subsequently ruled a homicide. Meanwhile, Brown posted a video on September 18 that appeared to show that he was in Mexico City. During that video, he claimed that he had been kidnapped by law enforcement and believed his mother to be on vacation. While Brown claims to be in Mexico, the geotag on his Finding Nemo video shows that Instagram location tags can be faked.
