Yak Gotti Seen Enjoying A Meal In New Interrogation Video

by

Yak Gotti is still facing RICO and murder charges in the YSL case, and despite a recent legal win, some other trial elements threaten to impact the public perception of the proceedings. Moreover, this relates to the interrogation video that surfaced with him, and one clip making the social media rounds right now depicts him eating a meal during the session. Of course, the audio isn’t the best, so you can’t always make out what Yak and interrogators are talking about, but some people launched snitching accusations whereas others characterized it as a completely normal process. At this point of the YSL RICO trial, this is an all too familiar narrative that never really cleared up enough for fans to make conclusive statements.

As such, a lot of people just want to see Yak Gotti make his case in the fairest way possible and close out the YSL RICO case on the most just note. For those unaware, he refused a plea deal around the same time that Young Thug took one, as he and his lawyer plan to take their case to a jury and fight for a not guilty verdict.

Beyond Yak Gotti, there is one other codefendant left in the YSL RICO case. Shannon Stillwell faces similar charges to Yak’s involving alleged murder and alleged gang activity, plus a gun charge as well. Readers may recall that a fellow inmate stabbed him in prison last year, and how he fortunately recovered from the harrowing incident. Their fates remain pretty unclear, as it’s difficult to predict where the trial could move next and what decisions could really impact the outcome. Maybe that’s just our reflexes talking, as the rest of the trial previously became so chaotic.

Meanwhile, as for Young Thug himself, he’s still supporting Yak Gotti and Shannon Stillwell during their stints. He also took some time recently to reconnect with his boo, Mariah The Scientist. With all the developments of the YSL RICO case in mind, it will be very interesting to see how all these individuals’ lives continue when it’s all said and done. Some face snitching accusations, some will stay in jail, and all of them formed part of a critical legal process.

Foolio Murder: Police Ridicule Late Rapper In Shocking Interrogation Footage

by

This summer, Foolio’s 26th birthday celebration took a turn for the worse when the rapper was fatally shot in front of a Tampa hotel. Five suspects were later identified. Isaiah Chance, Sean Gathright, Rashad Murphy, and Alicia Andrews have been taken into custody and are facing various charges. The final suspect, Davion Murphy, is still allegedly on the run.

Recently, footage of police interrogating one of these suspects surfaced online. In it, one officer asks the suspect what he knows about Foolio, and proceeds to share a hot take of his own. “I think he’s a piece of sh*t,” the officer began. “He was asking to be killed, there is no doubt about it. I can’t believe it took this many years for somebody to kill him, honest to god.”

Police Officer Calls Foolio A “Piece Of Sh*t” During Interrogation

Unsurprisingly, the clip has earned mixed reactions from social media users in DJ Akademiks’ Instagram comments section. Some users are calling out the cops for speaking about Foolio that way. Others are sure it was simply a tactic to try to get a confession out of the suspect. “Been said the cops be on bs,” one viewer writes. “They are saying this to get a confession,” another theorizes. At the time of writing, it remains unclear how the rest of the interrogation went, and whether or not authorities were able to obtain any new information about the case.

As for the suspects, some of them could be looking at serious prison time if convicted. Chance and Andrews pleaded not guilty to four counts of premeditated first-degree murder in August, according to XXL. Gathright pleaded not guilty to two counts of premeditated first-degree murder, attempted premeditated first-degree murder, and tampering with physical evidence, according to WTSP. Last month, Florida State Attorney Susan S. Lopez filed a motion revealing that the state will seek the death penalty for Chance, Gathright, and Rashad Murphy if they’re found guilty.

Real Boston Richey Faces Snitching Allegations Due To Resurfaced Footage

by

Real Boston Richey has some questions to answer from fans after interrogation footage recently resurfaced online of him supposedly snitching. Moreover, the clip below sees him talk to police, identify suspects, recounting events, naming names, and even brought in someone’s mother into his testimony. For what it’s worth, this has caused a lot of debate among fans of the “Get In There” rapper, as some point out that this is old footage that apparently came out some time ago. In fact, there are even some fans in the replies of the post below that claim that Richey said that he fabricated this story to police (which is still a crime) and that no one saw any jail time as a result of this conversation.

Still, many fans are more skeptical concerning that narrative, and they instead believe that they caught Real Boston Richey in 4K. However, it’s important to understand that – especially for consumers that aren’t involved with the courts or street life – there are a lot of “snitching” conversations and incidents that the public misrepresents and misinterprets, so take all of this with a grain of salt. But that’s not the only controversy on the Tallahassee native’s plate. Authorities reportedly arrested him for conspiracy to traffic marijuana earlier this year.

In addition, Real Boston Richey also denied rumors that his girlfriend is underage. In an Instagram Live session from February, the 27-year-old clarified that his partner is 23 years old, not 18 as his ex had alleged. Overall, it’s a very bizarre situation that seems more like personal romantic beef than anything, but it still rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way. Since then, nothing else has emerged concerning the rumors or the backlash, so it seems like things chilled out.

Meanwhile, Real Boston Richey also has to worry about rap game rivals, as NBA YoungBoy went at him and Finesse2tymes with full, partner-disrespecting force earlier this year. But again, things have been pretty quiet on that front since April, so it seems like it was another quick clout generator whether intended or not. We’ll see how long it takes for these snitching accusations to see a similar fate.

Young Thug Interrogation Audio: Detectives Ask If Lil Wayne, Birdman, And Thugger Are Bloods

by

We knew Young Thug’s YSL RICO case would be a slow-moving process, but we didn’t think it’d be nearly a year and a half into his arrest before his trial began. After months of searching for the perfect jury candidates and watching the number of co-defendants dwindle, it’s nearly time to begin the next steps in the court process. While we eagerly wait for that, @ThuggerDaily and @HipHopLivesNATL on Twitter shared a newly leaked video from the Atlanta-based artist’s interrogation with police, which is two hours long and includes some seriously laughable moments.

Among clips already going viral is a moment between Jeffrey Williams and a detective asking him about gang violence mentioned throughout his lyrics. “Y’all are bloods, right?” he asks in a casual manner. “Lil Wayne, you, and Birdman?” After a moment of silence, the multi-talent responds in confusion, “A blood???” as if he couldn’t understand the connection between him and the notorious gang. “That’s what you say on the song,” the investigator reminds Thugger.

Young Thug Laughs Off Questions About Being in a Gang

Of course, song lyrics being evidence is one of the most controversial aspects of this trial. After letting out a laugh, Williams told the authorities, “Man, that is entertainment main!” Seeing as we haven’t heard much from the “Oh U Went” artist directly all year, hearing his voice (especially in such good spirits) is refreshing. As the trial finally moves forward it won’t be shocking if more leaks come out. We’ll be sure to keep you posted on any that surface.

According to Mariah the Scientist, Young Thug’s got a pretty major incentive waiting on the other side of his time behind bars. The R&B singer says she and her man absolutely love discussing their plans to exchange vows once he (hopefully) beats his YSL RICO charges. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Wack 100 Defends YNW Melly After Alleged Interrogation Footage Surfaces

by

Footage of YNW Melly in an interrogation room emerged this week as many speculated that he may have cooperated with authorities in a case stemming from a 2015 shooting. The clip of Melly began making waves this week in the midst of his double-murder trial. However, one unexpecting person came to his defense: Wack 100. The music executive suggested that the prosecutors and D.A. irresponsibly put Melly’s life at risk when the video leaked. 

“I say the things others scared to say. My question is why isn’t the District Attorney or Police chief brought on attempt murder charges when they release interrogation footage that’s only accessible by law enforcement outside of the DA office or the court building?” Wack wrote on Instagram. Wack 100 accompanied his post alongside a screenshot of the alleged footage of YNW Melly in an interrogation room. “his man told ok that’s street politics. But the very politic when acted upon is used to enforce the law‼”

Wack 100 continued to explain that with the footage out, YNW Melly could become a target inside of prison. However, he indicated that it could be a bigger ploy to bring down the “223s” rapper. “So now law enforcement releases footage to the public that can only lead to violence happening to this man. Keep in mind he’s still incarcerated . Motive because the active case is going down the drain .Action expose the man so he’s harmed in prison or upon release. Where is this within in perimeters of the law?” Wack continued.

In conclusion, Wack stated, “Documents are public record – Cool that’s within the law. Interrogation footage isn’t public record.” However, as XXL points out, that’s not necessarily the case. In the state of Florida, among other states in America, interrogation footage can be accessible to the media and the public by request.

However, he also shared the last name of the individual as well as details about the firearm that was pulled on him.

YNW Melly’s 2015 Interrogation Footage Surfaces Online Amid Double-Murder Trial

by

It’s long been said that there’s no such thing as bad publicity. At this time, that cliché is proving to be somewhat true for YNW Melly. As his double-murder trial finally kicked off earlier this month, the 23-year-old saw a sudden boost in his streaming numbers. Consequently, tracks like “Murder on My Mind” and “Suicidal” have been skyrocketing. This has been exciting for both Melly and fans to witness. Nevertheless, not all the attention coming from his ongoing case has been flattering.

Apart from discovering his music, internet sleuths have also unearthed 2015 interrogation footage that shows the Florida native speaking with police about an unrelated incident. At the time, Melly was still a teenager, which has caused some to question the legalities of the recorded conversation between the rapper and the authorities. The 45-minute video is the first in a series of three, though the final two parts have yet to land on YouTube. It seems the next section will be shared on Tuesday (June 20) when Melly’s trial continues.

YNW Melly’s Underage Interrogation

Shorter clips from the full-length upload have been shared on blogs, many of them accusing YNW of snitching. “Is this the ni**a that sang ‘I gat murder on my mind 💀’?” one user asked in @akademiks’ Instagram comment section. “Ya better treat him the same way ya did Gunna and 6ix9ine 😂😂😂,” another person joked. Elsewhere, it’s been suggested that the video was intentionally leaked to alter the world’s perception of Melly. “The court system play a dirty game,” someone explained. “They specifically put this out to turn the public against him.”

Before the weekend began, YNW Melly’s ex-girlfriend’s mom was one of the final people to take the stand. During her testimony, the woman notably smiled at the accused killer before clarifying that she’s felt threatened by law enforcement throughout the legal process. Read everything she had to say at the link below and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
