Foolio Murder: Suspects Named As Arrest Body-Cam Footage Hits The Internet

July 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Overall, the Foolio murder story has been one that hip-hop as a whole has been following closely. It all took place a few weekends ago as the artist was celebrating his birthday in Tampa Bay, Florida. However, it turned deadly when the rapper’s car was riddled with bullets. He was pronounced dead on the scene, with fans paying homage to the artist on social media. Since that time, the police in Jacksonville have been trying to solve the case.

Earlier today, it was announced that three people were arrested for their alleged connections to the murder. Sean Gathright, Isaiah Chance Jr., and Alicia Andrews were the three people placed under arrest. As it stands, they have been hit with murder charges and will now have to go on trial. Below, you can see that the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office released footage of the arrest. In both instances, they had the SWAT team involved.

Foolio Murder Suspects Have Been Arrested

“Your Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and Tampa Police are announcing the arrests of 3 people in the murder of Charles Andrew Jones II, known as Julio Foolio,” The Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook. Jones was shot and killed in the parking lot of a Tampa hotel on June 23, 2024.

Sukihana Buys Groceries For Two Florida Families In Four-Minute Challenge: Watch

October 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sukihana may be well-known for her raunchy and viral antics, but she can also make an Internet splash for much more wholesome reasons. Sure, those also come with their fair share of wildness and social media fixation, but such is the nature of online content. Moreover, she recently did a four-minute Walmart challenge with two Jacksonville, Florida mothers and their children. If you’re wondering what that means, each family had four minutes to get as much food as they could, and the rapper and reality TV personality would pay for it all. Needless to say, they got a lot of food in that short timespan, or for however long she let it go on.

Furthermore, many will probably immediately blast Sukihana for making this kind of content. Many see stuff like this as exploitative, voyeuristic, virtue-signaling, or way too informal or played up for views and engagement to take it seriously. However, she is doing a good deed at the end of the day, one that many mothers strive to do for their children every single day. As such, think what you think about this, but you at least have to commend the Delaware native for this gesture, no matter how big, small, costly, or viral.

At the very least, it’s more beneficial that what she usually makes headlines for, such as her beef with Khia. Regardless of all that, it seems like this is something that will become more common moving forward. In fact, this is the second time that Sukihana has done this for families, the first instance being for mothers in Atlanta. Much like this challenge iteration in Jacksonville, those who participated were incredibly grateful for her help, and this likely resonated with a lot of mothers worldwide, whether they’re in the trenches or living large.

Meanwhile, what do you think about this four-minute challenge? Do the positives outweigh the negatives, or is this just a way to get people on your side easily? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments section down below. As always, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Sukihana.

Foolio Shot In Jacksonville: Report

October 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jacksonville rapper Foolio was reportedly shot in his home city last night (Friday, October 6), according to various sources. Moreover, the first one people noticed in mass was an Instagram Story post on his account, which seemed to come from one of his parents. “Keep Foolio my son in Yall prayers,” the message read (posted on Saturday, October 7), and including a prayer hands emoji. “He was shot last night in his hating city.” Unfortunately, this wouldn’t be the rapper’s first brush with violence, and we send him our best wishes for a speedy recovery and better days ahead.

In addition, various law enforcement sources reportedly confirmed this incident to WTLV-TV Jacksonville. According to these reports, suspects shot Foolio (real name Charles Jones) in the foot last night, and it’s unknown how worrisome these injuries are as of writing this article. The shooting took place around the 3100 block on 18th Street W. in the city, which is near a residential neighborhood that’s less than a mile away from the Paxon School for Advanced Studies. From what a picture obtained by First Coast News suggests, his black Dodge Challenger (which the Florida MC drove at the time suspects shot him) is full of bullet holes.

Furthermore, sources also told First Coast News that he will not cooperate with police officials in this case. Whether they actually spoke to Foolio or used other information or testimonies is unclear. Another detail these allegations include is that medical authorities took him to U.F. Health Jacksonville for treatment. There’s little else we know about this happening at press time, but surely more details will emerge in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Charles Jones is more well-known for his high-profile rap beef these days, which violence also surrounds with a shroud. It’s been rough to see him go through the motions and lead this life online; not for any posturing or boastfulness, but because of the danger. Hopefully he recovers well after this shooting and doesn’t face any further situations like these. For more news and the latest updates on Foolio, stay logged into HNHH.

[WATCH] Jacksonville Shooter Wanted Eminem And Machine Gun Kelly Killed

September 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Christopher Palmeter, the racist thug who shot and killed three black people at a Dollar General in Jacksonville last Saturday, identified in his writings a slew of other potential targets that included rappers Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly.

In two disturbing passages from writings that Rolling Stone reviewed, Palmeter who turned the gun on himself after killing Angela Michelle Carr, 52; Anolt Joseph “AJ” Laguerre Jr., 19; and Jerrald Gallion, 29, listed both rappers by name.

“Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers, aka Slim Shady aka Ken Keniff, aka the white guy from D12): Stared the abyss (being ni–dly) and the abyss stared back (becoming a ni—er),” he wrote. “Walks the edge of ni–er lover and honourary ni–er. Fell off not because his new stuff sucked but because the lyrics were gay annoying liberal shit,” he wrote.

The killer’s writings shed light on his reasoning behind the senseless murders and revealed he hoped for a race war. He praised fellow killers, including the Oklahoma City bomber, the Norwegian summer camp killer, and the Virginia Tech school shooter for committing mass murder. He looked down on the extremist group the Boogaloo Boys as “larpers” — people who role-play at spreading hate.

Palmeter also turned his anger to Machine Gun Kelly suggesting he may have been close enough to the rapper to have taken a shot. “Colson Baker (aka Machine Gun Kelly): Honorable ni–er. To be killed on sight like Eminem because I didn’t get a shot at him up in Ohio.”

Last Saturday, Palmeter entered a Jacksonville Dollar General dressed in a tactical vest armed with a handgun and an AR-15 rifle, which had swastika markings on it, officials said.

Skillibeng Taps Nardo Wick For “16CHOPPA” Single

February 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jamaican dancehall artist Skillibeng just recruited Nardo Wick for their single, “16CHOPPA.” If you’re unfamiliar with the 25-year-old, he’s one of the hottest names in dancehall right now, known for his creative fusions with hip-hop tropes. Moreover, this new track mixes tropical rhythms with trap-style drums and other production elements. What’s more is that the “Who Want Smoke?” MC matches Skillibeng’s energy and vocal tone with his guest verse. Overall, “16CHOPPA” is a fitting introduction to dancehall for hip-hop fans that are looking for somewhere to dive in. Still, the Jamaican artist is idiosyncratic and creative enough in his performance to give the track an authentic feel. While it might not be your cup of tea at first, this song’s melodies and hypnotic drum patterns will seep in your mind for some time.

Furthermore, a lot of that stickiness comes from Skillibeng’s unique vocal inflections on “16CHOPPA.” For example, throughout his verses and choruses, he keeps a consistently nasal tone, going from fast words to drawn-out syllables. For outsiders to this genre or culture, the “accent” might throw some people off, and the high pitch doesn’t help. However, if it does, it’s an indication of their still-burgeoning taste, not of Skillibeng’s lack of talent. In fact, his delivery on the track is charismatic and much more of a unique approach to the flexing, boastful, playboy-style bars we’re used to.

However, on that note, Nardo comes through with some pretty cheeky wordplay and entertaining descriptions in his verse. Moreover, his style and understated delivery fit well with “16CHOPPA”‘s production. The light and simple keys, subtly morphing bass, and incredibly sharp drum kit is a checklist the Wickman’s crossed off often. Let us know what you think of Nardo’s performance on Skillibeng’s “16CHOPPA,” and what you thought about the whole track. Also, if you haven’t heard the track yet, you can find it on your preferred streaming service. Don’t forget to check out some standout bars, and come back to HNHH for the best new music each week.

Quotable Lyrics
Fifty more for the robbers, two for the drivers
How many shots did you hear? Never said a whole lotta
Big dog like Clifford, your bitch I dig her
The gun shoot fast ’cause it came with a swisha
