Quando Rondo Secures $100K Bond, Will Now Be On House Arrest

December 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Quando Rondo has been through a few legal situations over the past year or so. Overall, a few months ago, Rondo was arrested over an alleged drug trafficking ring. Eventually, he was able to secure $100K bond. However, just a few weeks ago, he was arrested yet again. This time, he was hit with a plethora of drug-related charges. According to HipHopDX, he was accused of a conspiracy to allegedly sell all sorts of different drugs, including weed, cocaine, and even fentanyl.

Since his arrest, his legal team has been working overtime to try and get him free. As his lawyer argued, there is no actual evidence that the rapper sold any of these drugs. However, the prosecution is saying this does not matter. At the end of the day, this is a conspiracy case which means they just need to prove that he was conspiring to sell narcotics. Well, recently, Quando Rondo actually got some good news. A judge decided to grant him $100K bond. Furthermore, he will now get to be on house arrest.

The case is certainly not over, and Quando Rondo has a court date coming up soon. However, this remains a massive win for him as it means he will not have to spend the Holidays behind bars. As for the conditions of his release, well, there are a few. He now has to get rid of his passport, get treatment for substance abuse, and even avoid any of his co-defendants. Needless to say, he has to make sure he keeps his nose clean, or else the consequences could be bad.

Let us know what you think of this development, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will be sure to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.

NBA YoungBoy House Arrest Modification Grant Will Hopefully Improve His Mental Health

December 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After much-failed petitioning over the past few years, NBA YoungBoy’s legal team finally secured him a legal win yesterday (December 18). As XXL reports, legal documents confirm that Judge Shelly D. Dick is permitting the 24-year-old to leave his home for medical appointments going forward. Previously, YB was restricted to receiving treatment on his Utah property. After advocating for his crippling mental health, he now has at least a few of his rights back. “The defendant is restricted to 24-hour a day lock-down at his residence except for medical appointments and court appearances or other activities specifically approved in advance by the Defendant’s pretrial supervision officer,” this week’s ruling states.

It’s still a win for the father of eleven. However, Judge Dick did deny him partaking in other activities related to his employment without first seeking court approval. Back in November, the court felt the same way about allowing YoungBoy permission to leave his home at all. “The United States fails to see how the defendant’s current conditions of pre-trial release prohibit him from seeking and obtaining mental health treatment,” Assistant US Attorney William K. Morris said at the time.

NBA YoungBoy Grows Restless in his Utah Home

The controversial star has been on house arrest since 2021 when he was taken into custody in his home state. At the time, police uncovered multiple guns and drugs on the set of a music video. This landed Kentrell Gaulden in a world of trouble with the authorities. It hasn’t been easy, but this time alone to reflect has certainly been a maturing influence in his life.

NBA YoungBoy is growing restless in the walls of his beautiful home, but thankfully, there’s now light at the end of the tunnel for the Louisana native. Ahead of the holiday season, he was finally given a trial date in his 2021 federal gun case. Read when we can expect to see YB in court at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

December 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DJ Akademiks trolled NBA YoungBoy for calling his home “Gravedigger Mountain,” during a recent rant online. He cited crime statistics suggesting that note no one has ever been killed near the plot of land.

“‘Gravedigger Mountain?’” Akademiks began. “Bro, you know I looked up the f*cking crime stats– I know where YoungBoy live at. Everybody knows it right. Nobody’s ever gotten murdered there ever in life. What graves are being dug there? Like come on, we gotta just stop the malarkey with these rappers bro. ‘Gravedigger Mountain’ sounds good for you and your fans. We like that. It’s cute. I’ma let it rock because when he says that, he always sounds angry. I believe it. But I looked up that plot of land. There was no cemeteries there. No grave ever got dug.”

YoungBoy recently referred to his home as “Gravedigger Mountain” during his beef with Joe Budden. After the podcast host labeled him “trash” during an episode of his show, YoungBoy responded in a rant on social media. “Don’t speak on me. I don’t play that s**t. Don’t rat on me neither, you p***y b***h,” he said, as noted by XXL. “Stupid dumb b***h, yo d**k don’t get even hard no more, clown-a*s n***a. Ain’t no sabotaging me, b***h. F**k wrong wit that n***a, mayne? Don’t rat on me. I don’t want to argue with ya b***h a*s, n***a. B***h, you do all them interviews, come on to Gravedigger Mountain and talk to me, n***a.

NBA YoungBoy Wants House Arrest Rules Relaxed To Help With Depression & Use Of Outside Studios

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy is requesting that the terms of his house arrest be eased so that he can once again record music at an outside studio. Additionally, his legal team says it will help with his anxiety and depression. They want the allowance of “certain” activities with approval from his pretrial officer due to his “deteriorating” mental health.

“Being confined to his home and unable to complete his employment obligations has led to great anxiety, depression, loss of weight, and sleep. Mr. Gaulden [NBA YoungBoy] has been visibly stressed and has expressed concern and loss of hope that he will be able to return to his contracted employment obligation,” his lawyers said. They added that his sales have “suffered” due to his “limited ability to produce quality recordings” and that he’s already “exhausted all his options for recording in his home with a very limited production crew.”

Under the proposed terms, YoungBoy would still be subject to adhering to a curfew, wearing an ankle monitor at all times, and having a limitation on visitors. He would also be unable to tour. In response, prosecutors argue that the request is “hopelessly vague.” “The United States fails to see how the defendant’s current conditions of pre-trial release prohibit him from seeking and obtaining mental health treatment,” Assistant U.S. Attorney William K. Morris said in a filing submitted on Monday, as noted by The Fader. He added that YoungBoy can receive “necessary” medical appointments through telehealth therapy. As for the recording of new music, Morris cited the recent release of his latest record, Decided 2, as proof his house arrest isn’t stopping his work.

The judge in the case has yet to issue a ruling on the proposal. A grand jury originally indicted YoungBoy in March 2021 on felony weapons possession in Louisiana. Be on the lookout for further updates on NBA YoungBoy and his ongoing case on HotNewHipHop.

NBA YoungBoy Says He’s Going To Turn Himself In And Get Himself Together

November 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a cryptic message that sent confusion through the hip-hop community, NBA YoungBoy took to social media to address those attempting to break him. The Baton Rouge-bred rapper recently expressed in a video that he was going to turn himself in. “Meechie baby, man that b—ch think she playing me. Aye, they think they breaking me. I’m gonna turn myself in and get myself together. Aye, these b–ch a-s n—as gonna feel what they made me feel,” YoungBoy declared in a candid moment. It left fans speculating about his next move.

The ambiguity of YoungBoy’s statement sparked discussions among fans, with some questioning whether the rapper meant turning himself in for legal matters or if he was hinting at a different kind of self-reckoning. The phrase “get myself together” raised eyebrows, leading to a wide range of interpretations. As speculation ran rampant, some fans wondered if NBA YoungBoy was contemplating rehab, seeking a path to personal growth and recovery. The rapper’s past has been well-documented, and fans are hopeful that this could be a pivotal moment for him to address any personal struggles head-on.

NBA Youngboy With A Message

However, a twist in the narrative emerged as fans pointed out the rapper’s current legal situation. NBA YoungBoy is currently on house arrest, raising questions about the feasibility of him turning himself in. The juxtaposition of his statement with his current legal constraints left fans intrigued and eager for more clarity. NBA Youngboy has been on house arrest for 2 years now. As HNHH previously reported earlier this month, Youngboy explained that he wanted his house arrest terms altered. “Being confined to his home and unable to complete his employment obligations has led to great anxiety, depression, loss of weight and sleep. [NBA YoungBoy] has been visibly stressed and has expressed concern and loss of hope that he will be able to return to his contracted employment obligation,” the lawyer’s statement read.

Overall, the video is just another incident where fans are worried about his mental health. Although he’s been using his time on house arrest to be productive and release new music, ultimately fans can see that his mental health is deteriorating. NBA YoungBoy’s raw and unfiltered expressions have always kept his fanbase on their toes. And this recent revelation is no exception. As fans eagerly await further updates, one thing is certain. The rapper continues to navigate life’s challenges on his own terms. And leaving everyone guessing about what comes next in the ever-evolving saga of NBA YoungBoy.

NBA YoungBoy Slams The Music Industry As “Demonic”

November 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy says the music industry is “demonic” and forces within it are using him as an entertainment product. He discussed his place in the industry during an interview with Complex at his home in Utah, where he’s been under house arrest since 2021.

“It’s a demonic industry that I chose to be a part of,” he said in the clip. “So it’s like, I accept it. I run with it. But don’t be a dummy at the same time. You gotta understand, they’re using me as entertainment. And this sh*t becomes self-destruction too, ’cause I ain’t an entertainer. Some sh*t can’t be spoke on. Why? Man, ’cause this sh*t is to be continued.”

YoungBoy has faced numerous legal issues over the years including several cases of federal firearm charges. In 2021, he was released on $1.5 million bail and ordered to live under house arrest while awaiting trial. Amid that ongoing process, YoungBoy has been heavily focused on getting music out to his fans. Just earlier this month, he dropped his fourth new project of 2023, Decided 2. Across the 18-song tracklist, YoungBoy collaborated with just one artist, Rod Wave. It’s the second time they’ve worked together as of late, after previously pairing up on “Home Ain’t Home” off The Last Slimeto in 2022. Earlier this year, YoungBoy dropped I Rest My Case in January, Don’t Try This At Home in April, and Richest Opp in May. Check out YoungBoy’s full interview with Complex below.

NBA Youngboy Requests House Arrest Change, Cites His Mental Health

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For more than two years now, NBA Youngboy has been under house arrest in Utah. His situation spawns from a 2020 arrest for firearm and narcotics possession. After a further arrest in Los Angeles where he was found with another firearm, the courts came down hard. From his bail proceedings to his eventual sentencing to house arrest, he hasn’t been afforded much leniency. Consequently, as his sentence is being increasingly discussed publicly by fans, he’s looking for a way to loosen the terms.

According to All Hip Hop in a new statement made by his lawyers, Youngboy explains why he’d like his house arrest terms altered. “Being confined to his home and unable to complete his employment obligations has led to great anxiety, depression, loss of weight and sleep. [NBA YoungBoy] has been visibly stressed and has expressed concern and loss of hope that he will be able to return to his contracted employment obligation,” the lawyer’s statement reads. It’s unclear if it will work as government prosecutors have expressed skepticism in what counts as “employment obligations.” A judge is expected to eventually rule on the request. Check out the full story below.

NBA Youngboy Dealing With Deteriorating Mental Health

Youngboy has had fans worried about his mental health on multiple occasions this year. Just last week he posted a somewhat unhinged rant aimed at YouTube for allegedly blackballing him. Subsequently as the video made the rounds online fans expressed concern for the rapper’s wellbeing.

Youngboy has been using his time under house arrest to release a lot of new music. Last week he announced his 4th new album of 2023. The project is a sequel to his 2018 album Decided which is fittingly called Decided 2. What do you think of NBA Youngboy citing his mental health as a reason for his house arrest to be loosened? Let us know in the comment section below.

Nicki Minaj Announces New Queen Radio In Video With Kenneth Petty

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj took to Instagram to announce a new edition of her Queen Radio series. She made the announcement with a video she recorded of herself and husband Kenneth Petty. She’s rocking a no-makeup look and lip-syncing to some music with the actual announcement coming in the caption. “#QueenRADIO in NEW YORK tmrw @ 4pm est WHO POPPIN OUT?!?!!!!! #HeavyOnIt” it reads.

Kenneth Petty appearing in the video is likely no coincidence. He’s had an ongoing beef with Offset that many fans have viewed as a proxy beef between Nicki and Cardi themselves. After Petty made public threats against Offset, he was re-sentenced to house arrest. Nicki Minaj reacted to the announcement with a cryptic tweet, while Cardi B took a much more direct approach in her response. “EXACTLY KEEP ME AND MY MANS OUT YALL F*CKING MOUTH!!!” the “I Like It” singer said in a new tweet. Check out Nicki’s Queen Radio announcement video and the fan reaction to it below.

Nicki Minaj Delivers Cryptic Tweet Following Kenneth Petty House Arrest Ruling

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj has always been the subject of some wild headlines over the years. However, that has been especially true over the last week due to the actions of her husband, Kenneth Petty. If you remember, Petty was outside with some friends, making threats towards Offset. Nicki and Cardi B have beef, so the Offset connection makes sense. However, the former Migos member was in Atlanta with Kai Cenat before hopping on a jet to go see the Colorado Buffaloes. Needless to say, he got the last laugh.

This is especially true now that Petty has been ordered to 120 days in house arrest. “Mr. Petty was recorded on video making threatening remarks towards a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record,” a court order explains. “This recent violation conduct raises concerns over Mr. Petty’s willingness to comply with the Court’s orders. As such, the Probation Officer believes placement in the Location Monitoring Program will effectively allow for closer monitoring of Mr. Petty’s activities, limit his movements, provide a sanction for his non-compliance, and hopefully encourage him to reflect upon and reevaluate his current status in the community.”

Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty Subjected To House Arrest After Offset Threats

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj has made quite a few headlines over the years due to her husband Kenneth Petty. For those who may not know, Petty is a convicted sex offender stemming from an alleged attempted rape in 1995. Overall, this case has led to all sorts of issues Petty. Moreover, it has led to quite a few jokes on social media. However, what is important, is that Petty was supposed to register as a sex offender upon moving to California. In the end, he opted not to do that and was given three years probation and one year under house arrest.

This ruling took place over a year ago, so if your math is correct, you would understand that Petty would have been off house arrest. However, he completely ruined his freedom for himself after he made some threats against Offset. As we reported, he was outside with some friends, claiming to be looking for the rapper. According to court reporter Meghann Cuniff, a judge has subsequently given Petty 120 days under house arrest for his actions.
