Diddy’s Dismal Thanksgiving Meal Behind Bars Revealed

November 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy will be limited to eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner on Thanksgiving if he is unsuccessful in getting out of jail on bond ahead of the holiday. As caught by TMZ, the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center’s weekly menu is looking dismal for Thursday.

Breakfast will be kicking the day off with fruit, cereal, pastries, and skim milk while lunch will certainly be the main attraction. His afternoon meal will include turkey roast, hot & sour tofu, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, cranberry sauce, turkey gravy dinner rolls, and an assortment of holiday pies. As the night winds down, he’ll have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with potato chips, whole wheat bread, and a fruit beverage.

Diddy’s Family Attends Latest Bail Hearing

Diddy’s latest attempt at getting out on bond comes after Judge Arun Subramanian shot down his idea of staying at his Miami mansion on house arrest, last week. Diddy is now hoping he’ll be able to spend the holidays at his Upper East Side apartment with strict limitations. They’d include around-the-clock security with the removal of internet and phone access outside of contacting his attorneys. He would also need approval before family visits. A decision is expected at some point on Monday.

As Diddy attempts to get out of jail, attorney Ariel Mitchell, who represents multiple alleged victims in cases against Diddy, said that her clients are concerned for their safety. “All of them are very apprehensive about their safety if he were to be granted bond,” Mitchell told News Nation of the alleged victims. “I am confident in the court. I am sure that the court will remain with their previous decision of no bond.” Diddy has pleaded not guilty in his case regarding charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. He’s also denied all other allegations against him. Be on the lookout for further updates on the case on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy’s Alleged Victims Express Concern For Their Safety As He Attempts To Get Out Of Jail

November 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s alleged victims are concerned for their safety as he continues to try to get out of jail on bond. Attorney Ariel Mitchell, who represents multiple alleged victims in cases against Diddy, discussed his latest effort at getting out during a recent interview with News Nation. He remains behind bars in Brooklyn on charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering.

“All of them are very apprehensive about their safety if he were to be granted bond,” Mitchell said of the alleged victims. “I am confident in the court. I am sure that the court will remain with their previous decision of no bond.” She then brought up grand jury witness Courtney Burgess, alleging that victims have received death threats online. She did, however, admit none of the threats had come from Diddy directly. “There have been threats from people on the internet, but not from, at least, what we don’t know from Diddy to be directly.” she added. “Mr. Burgess has received several death threats. My client, Mrs. Parham, has been receiving threats, but we don’t know if they’re just regular people from the internet, or if they’re actually people who were sent by Diddy.”

She then added she’s grateful Judge Arun Subramanian denied his request to spend the rest of his time awaiting trial on house arrest in Miami. “I keep two straps on me,’ Mitchell said. “And I have God protecting me. I’m not scared. As long as he’s behind bars. I will say, if he does get out, I am grateful to hear that the judge won’t let him come back to Miami, so, to that extent, I’m very grateful. If he were to come back to Miami, I probably would be a little nervous and probably beef up security, I’m pretty good with my Smith and Wesson.”

Ariel Mitchell Speaks About Diddy’s Attempts At Getting Bond

Diddy is expecting to hear an answer on his fourth attempt at getting approval for bond at some point on Monday. He has repeatedly denied all of the allegations against him. Check out Ariel Mitchell’s interview with News Nation below.

Blueface Debuts Shocking New Face Tattoos Amid Prison Stay

November 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a while since fans have heard any big news about Blueface. This is mostly due to the fact that he’s currently behind bars. The “Thotiana” rapper turned himself in earlier this year for an alleged parole violation. Unfortunately, it looks like he’ll be in jail for at least another few months. That hasn’t stopped him from making major changes, however, namely to his appearance. In new footage that surfaced online today, he looks to have gotten some new face tattoos.

The last time supporters saw him, he didn’t appear to have nearly as much ink on his face as he does now. At the time of writing, it remains unclear whether or not the tattoos are temporary or the real deal. Either way, the footage has sparked concern among social media users, who are now comparing him to Chrisean Rock. For those who don’t recall, she debuted a huge tattoo of Blueface’s face on her cheek after he was arrested.

Blueface Seemingly Gets New Ink Behind Bars

While Blueface is wrapped up in his legal issues, Chrisean seems to have been caring for his youngest child Chrisean Jesus, who they welcomed in September of 2023. She’s dealt with her own fair share of issues with the law in recent months, but now, it looks like she’s committed to staying on a better path. For now, it’s unclear whether or not Blueface plans to do the same when he’s released.

It’s also uncertain exactly when he’ll be able to reunite with his family, but he seems hopeful that it won’t be too much longer. In October, his official Instagram account shared a post hinting at a potential release date. “I’ll Ce Out JULY Don’t Bink!!!!!” it read. This got fans’ hopes up, as it was previously reported that he could be in jail for up to four years.

Finesse2tymes Reflects On How He Got Through Solitary Confinement

November 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Finesse2tymes recently reflected on his experiences in solitary confinement after spending over four years behind bars. Appearing on The Baller Alert Show, the Memphis rapper discussed his time in prison after pleading guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm back in 2018. He ended up getting out on July 1, 2022.

“I’m locked up seven months. COVID-19 hit. They keep me in there another seven and a half months,” he said of solitary confinement. When asked how that’s legal, Finesse2tymes responded: “Because it’s the federal government. It’s the federal system. Who you gonna go tell? Who you gonna write a grievance on?” From there, he revealed he was getting a Bologna sandwich for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. “It got to a point where I didn’t have anybody to call on. You can’t use the phone. You ain’t got no communication to your family,” he said. As for how he made it through, he continued: “It got to the point where I couldn’t call on God because like, I’m a man. I know that might sound crazy, but everybody always call on God when they get in a f*cked up situation. I just ain’t one of them, so I’m like, ‘Instead of calling on God, let me actually learn what God wants me to know.”

Authorities arrested Reese back in September on charges of alleged aggravated assault of a family or household member. He stands accused of punching and strangling the alleged victim at The Pinkhouse nightclub in Houston. Reese’s attorney, Carl Moore, denied the allegations at the time. “Mr. Taylor vehemently denies these false accusations,” he told TMZ. “We look forward to his day in court.”

The arrest isn’t the only drama Reese has dealt with this year. He also faced a rape accusation but the court ended up dismissing that case. Afterward, he went off on how the media has covered him. “@theshaderoom @tmz_tv The same way yall was posting that false azzz information like I did some to a b*tc when I kno it was bap post this. Case dismissed my first court face f*c u mean [three thumbs-down emojis],” Lil Reese shared to his Instagram Story. “Na it’s time to go get that 25k back from 12 they took from her that she tried to steal and couldn’t get away wit it and get bond money back [nine crying emojis].” In another post, he added: “F*c I look Like this ain’t that I know better. And the same way y’all posting that shi make sure yall post the case get thrown out on my court date. They do anything for clout and tryna come up try again.”

Young Thug’s Dad Slams Atlanta Artists Who Didn’t Support His Son, Fans Point At TI

November 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug’s father, Jeffery Williams Sr., has called out other Atlanta rappers who didn’t voice their support for his son during his recent stretch in jail. Speaking on the Nothing But the Truth Podcast, last week, Williams Sr. complained about one artist in particular who refused to perform at an event in support of YSL.

“We got all these rappers and everybody trying to find Young Thug,” Williams Sr. said, as caught by XXL. “They wanna talk to Young Thug, they wanna this, that and the other. Where your a*s been for 29 months? Why y’all a*s ain’t been out there protesting for his constitutional rights being violated? Y’all are the ones considered to be the influencers. Ain’t influencing sh*t.”

“Now, you want to talk to him,” he added. “You want to goddamn put out these monkey-a*s videos. All this, for your personal gain. It’s just for your personal gain. Your personal hype. Trying to make yourself relevant…Where have y’all been? Where have y’all Atlanta artists been up until now?” Williams’ next comments have been sparking theories that he may have been particularly upset with T.I., although he didn’t name anyone specifically. “I asked him to do an event on behalf of YSL. And I was told, ‘Let me get with my people and see if I can do that,’” he said. “But yet and still, I see you right there beside Young Thug. That’s when he needed the help. So, you know, we gotta stop with the fake.”

Jeffery Williams Sr. Speaks Out

Shortly after his release from jail, Thug linked up with T.I., who shared a video on social media of the two of them together. “I’m back,” Thug declared in the video. “I’m back, Jack. No cap in my rap. The right way!” Check out his father’s full comments on the situation below.

6ix9ine Officially Sentenced For Violating Probation With Meth Use & More

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last month, 6ix9ine was taken into federal custody for violating probation. Allegedly, he tested positive for marijuana and meth, traveled to Las Vegas without approval, and failed to show up for mandatory drug tests. He’s reportedly being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, the same facility as Diddy, where he’ll remain for the next few weeks.

According to court documents obtained by XXL, 6ix9ine agreed to a plea deal earlier this week. He’ll plead guilty to violating his supervised release terms and serve an additional 30 days in jail. He will also serve another year of probation.

When 6ix9ine is released, he’ll be on house arrest for 90 days and be monitored electronically. He’s also barred from traveling internationally and must give up his passport. The rapper is scheduled to formally agree to these terms during his next court hearing on November 12. Unfortunately, 6ix9ine was arrested just weeks after signing a massive deal with Kartel Records. A clause in the contract states that he must stay out of legal trouble. At the time of writing, it remains unclear if or how his arrest has impacted the deal.

While he’s dealt with his fair share of legal issues in the past, 6ix9ine appeared confident in his ability to avoid trouble at the time. “No, [I’m not worried about staying out of trouble],” he told TMZ. “Because, I mean, like, if you know 6ix9ine, you know now, like, I’m squeaky clean.” What do you think of 6ix9ine accepting a plea deal after allegedly violating the terms of his probation? What about him having to serve an additional month in jail? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

YNW Melly Demands Immediate Release Due To Allegedly “Debilitating” Jail Conditions

November 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

YNW Melly is currently behind bars awaiting his retrial, but his legal team is pushing for him to be released immediately. According to AllHipHop, his attorney Michael A. Pizzi Jr. filed a 12-page lawsuit against the Brown Sheriff’s Office earlier this week in which he alleges that the rapper is being kept in inhumane conditions. Allegedly, this includes being held in solitary confinement for roughly three years without being allowed any visits or phone calls.

The petition describes the conditions that Melly is being kept in as allegedly cruel and unusual. Pizzi Jr. alleges that they violate Melly’s first, fifth, sixth, eighth, and fourteenth amendment rights. He also alleges that Melly’s attorneys have had issues communicating with him. This allegedly includes being denied entry, being made to wait for several hours, and more.

YNW Melly Sues The Broward Sheriff’s Office For Allegedly Inhumane Jail Conditions Ahead Of Retrial

The petition also details an incident that took place in April of 2022, when another inmate allegedly falsely accused Melly of planning to escape. Allegedly, this resulted in Melly getting hit with even more communication restrictions and a full shakedown of his cell. “These restrictions are not related to any legitimate security concerns and are instead punitive measures designed to deteriorate Melly’s mental health and impede his ability to prepare for his trial,” Pizzi Jr. alleges. “No non-black inmates are subjected to such punitive restrictions.”

“The emotional and psychological toll of his prolonged isolation is enormous,” he also alleges. “The ongoing interference with his right to counsel is a blatant violation of his constitutional rights.” Melly’s retrial is currently scheduled to begin on September 10, 2025. What do you think of YNW Melly’s legal team alleging that he’s been kept in inhumane conditions behind bars? What about them requesting that he be released immediately?

Federal Agencies Launch “Operation” At Jail Where Diddy Is Awaiting Trial

October 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Investigators from several federal agencies launched an “interagency operation” at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on Monday as Diddy remains behind bars at the infamous New York City jail. In a statement provided to the Associated Press, the Bureau of Prisons said the operation is “designed to achieve our shared goal of maintaining a safe environment for both our employees and the incarcerated individuals housed at MDC Brooklyn.”

The agency also noted in a statement on Monday that there was “no active threat” and instead, the operation had been pre-planned for some time. They declined to add further details about the operation “in an effort to maintain the safety and security of all personnel inside the facility and the integrity of this operation.”

MDC Brooklyn has gained an infamous reputation for allegations of having horrible living conditions, there being numerous acts of violence and murders among inmates, staffing shortages, and more. Diddy attempted to avoid having to stay in the jail, but a judge ruled against him getting out on bail.

Authorities arrested Diddy on charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, last month. He’s already pleaded not guilty while also denying all other allegations he’s faced in recent months. He’s also far from the first high-profile inmate at MDC Brooklyn. The location has also been home to R. Kelly, Ghislaine Maxwell, and more. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Big Meech’s Prison Release Prompts Celebratory Reactions All Over Social Media

October 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This week, reports emerged that Big Meech was finally out of prison, and from Sexyy Red to Slim Thug, many in the hip-hop world reacted happily to this news. For those unaware, Meech (real name Demetrius Flenory) and his brother Southwest T (real name Terry Lee Flenory) ran the “Black Mafia Family,” a massive drug trafficking organization, from the ’80s to the mid-2000s. Before the indictment against them in 2005, they also operated as a rap label that formed strong ties to the culture. Both brothers received a 30-year prison sentence, for which T saw an early release from federal prison in 2020.

Furthermore, you may also know the story of Big Meech from the 50 Cent-helmed BMF TV series starring Meech’s son as his father. But back to the big news at hand. Meech reportedly no longer appears in Federal Bureau of Prisons’ database for incarcerated individuals, a matter that TMZ confirmed with the Bureau this week. Instead, Demetrius Flenory will serve the rest of his prison sentence at a halfway house in Miami. As for when this sentence will end, the reported official release date is currently indicated as January 27, 2026. “Guess who’s back! Welcome home my brother Big Meech! Now let’s see if all them YouTube stories yall been telling add up!” Bun B shared on IG.

Of course, if you’ve been following the story of Big Meech in recent years, then this news probably did not surprise you. After all, even Lil Meech spoke on the possibility that his father would see his freedom sooner rather than later, as this process developed over months and months of legal procedures. Now, that possibility fully manifested, or at least, in the sense that the former drug lord is no longer in federal prison. Still, this is a relatively early story, so we’ll see what other clarifications and updates emerge. Check out more reactions to his release from the hip-hop world and beyond down below.

Meanwhile, even Skilla Baby “predicted” this news back in April with his single “Free Big Meech.” Maybe when we look back at this whole development, the signs of an earlier release will become much more apparent. But that doesn’t mean that this isn’t still heartening news for Meech’s family and loved ones.
