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.

Mariah The Scientist says she’s feeling “devastated” and “sad,” after being unable to visit with Young Thug to celebrate their three-year anniversary. Speaking with her followers on Instagram Live, she explained that the jail where authorities are holding the rapper told her their systems were down. She had driven all the way to the facility in hopes of speaking with Thug.

“It’s my three-year anniversary with Jeff. I done drove all the way to the motherf–king jail. The jail is 30 minutes from the city, first of all,” she began. “I done drove all the way to the jail and stopped at Party City in between so I could tape up my little ‘Happy Anniversary’ sign in the back because there’s not much space. It’s through a screen, by the way.”

Chrisean Rock has seen her fair share of ups and downs in recent months. Over the summer, the new mother was arrested at a hearing for her son’s father, Blueface.

“I was calm and I was at peace. I didn’t cry, I knew I had to take care of my responsibilities and obligations with my legal and I just asked God for that place to be a spiritual hospital because I felt like I was dragging the Holy Spirit everywhere I went,” she said of her first night in jail. “Doing the most, and the Holy Spirit was grieving and I didn’t have the strength to pull away from things, people, places and things.”

When Chrisean was first released from prison, she told her followers on Instagram Live that she was focused on caring for her son and staying true to her faith. This lines up with what she told Bryant. When asked where she sees herself in five years, she told him “Just walking straight in my purity.” What do you think of Chrisean Rock opening up about her first night in jail during a recent interview with Pastor Jamal Bryant?

Suge Knight Theorizes Diddy Is Suffering From Drug Withdrawals Behind Bars

September 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Suge Knight believes that Diddy is going through drug withdrawals in jail while awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He shared his theory during an interview with Chris Cuomo on his NewsNation show, earlier this week. Over the last year, several lawsuits against the Bad Boy mogul have accused him of using cocaine, although he’s denied the allegations.

“Nobody’s stepping up [to defend him] for the fact that you know what’s going on,” Suge began, before saying that regardless, he doesn’t expect him to flip. “I don’t think nobody is counting him out. I don’t think he’s going to crawl in a corner and die. He’s probably going through a lot of sh*t right now because he probably going through a lot of withdrawals from the drugs. But the industry got him on drugs.”

Diddy’s former lawyer, Mark Geragos, whose daughter is now on his legal team, told NewsNation afterward that the claims are baseless. “There’s no indication in the indictment that any of that is true,” Geragos told the outlet. “I don’t think Suge has any insight into anything that has happened within the last 10 years, other than the usual conspiracy scuttlebutt.”

Suge Knight Speaks On Diddy

Authorities arrested Diddy on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, last week, while sharing a 14-page federal indictment against him. He’s since pleaded not guilty and continues to maintain his innocence. He was unable to get approved for bail and will be residing behind bars until his next court appearance. Be on the lookout for further updates on Suge Knight and Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Romeo Miller Says It’ll Be Hard For People To Forgive Diddy

September 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Romeo Miller says Diddy needs to apologize for his alleged actions and he’ll receive forgiveness from God, but earning back the trust of everyone else will be “a little bit harder.” He discussed the Bad Boy mogul’s shocking arrest during an interview with TMZ, earlier this week.

“I do want to give some gems to the kids out there because you got to live and you got to learn from other people. When you get that much power you have to be willing to do what’s right,” he said. “That’s what our kids got to know coming up. Everything comes full circle. And from my experience, I would say that you always got to apologize. If you do wrong in any way, you got to go to that person behind closed doors and try to make it right. Nobody’s perfect. But justice always comes around so you have to do your best part. When you know you messed up, try to make it right. God forgives all but humans, it’s a little bit harder for us to forgive. We all make the bed that we lay in.”

Authorities arrested Diddy in New York City, last week, publishing a 14-page federal indictment against him. It detailed allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering, to which he has already pleaded not guilty. His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, was unable to get him out on bail and he remains at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
