Sean Kingston Is Out On $100,000 Bond

June 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sean Kingston posted a $100,000 bond to walk out of jail in Broward County, Florida on Tuesday following last month’s arrest on various charges. CBS News Miami published footage of the singer departing the facility with a white t-shirt covering his face before quickly hopping in a vehicle outside. He stands accused of stealing money, jewelry, a Cadillac Escalade SUV, and furniture by allegedly defrauding multiple businesses. His charges include grand theft, fraud, criminal use of personal identification, and violation of probation for trafficking stolen property.

Kingston’s attorney, Bob Rosenblatt, says they plan to file a not-guilty plea and are “very confident” in a jury trial. “Well, I don’t know who is claiming they owe money. You know, we were aware of the watches, we are aware of the TV issue,” Rosenblatt stated. “If there are other issues I’m not sure about… It’s a breach of contract. There’s no fraud here. There’s no organized fraud at all.”

Police arrested Kingston’s 61-year-old mother, Janice Turner, in the alleged scheme as well. They charged her with conducting an organized scheme to defraud, grand theft, identity theft, and related crimes. As caught by CBS, she previously pleaded guilty to bank fraud for stealing over $160,000 in 2006. She served over a year in prison at the time.

Amid news of the arrests, Kingston teamed up with NBA YoungBoy for the new single, “Why Oh Why.” He’s best known for his run of hits in the 2000s, with his iconic single, “Beautiful Girls”, peaking atop the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007. That same year, his eponymous debut album reached number six on the Billboard 200. Be on the lookout for further updates on Sean Kingston on HotNewHipHop.

Wack 100 Explains Why He Thinks Diddy Is Going To Prison

May 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wack 100, like many other celebrities and regular folk online, has been commenting a lot on the various lawsuits against Diddy for alleged sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking. However, he has a very particular reason as to why he thinks that the Bad Boy mogul might face jail time that doesn’t have much to do with the current narrative against him. Moreover, the music executive gave his theory during his most recent interview with DJ Vlad, who recently uploaded a clip of it to the VladTV YouTube channel. Wack explained that one particular issue could rope Sean Combs into a scheme that goes far beyond just rap music or the entertainment world.

To sum it up, Wack 100 posits that Diddy is allegedly a drug mule that has the ability to testify whether or not they gave substances for him to distribute, use, or give away. This, in his view, would make the New York native liable for ten to 15 years in prison if these drug trafficking allegations are true, which they have not been confirmed as at press time. In addition, Wack also spoke on Cassie’s alleged cooperation with federal authorities, which he thinks won’t help his case at all. Finally, he theorized that supposed links to underage individuals could pose entirely new legal ramifications that would only further serve to taint Puff Daddy’s image.

Wack 100 Speaks On Diddy’s Legal Obstacles

“Diddy,” Wack 100 began a video reacting to the footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. “I just seen that video. You’s a b***h a** n***a. And I hope, if whatever happens to you happens to you, I hope Big Freddy and Deebo Eddie strap your a** down. And I hope nobody come help your a**. It’s going down. You did this.”

Meanwhile, Wack 100’s other conspiracy theories involve Megan Thee Stallion allegedly lying about the Tory Lanez shooting. “Meg’s a liar,” he told Hollywood Unlocked‘s Jason lee. “Oh it’s f***ed up, [the pieces of evidence] are coming out one way or another. They’re just delaying it because they’re trying to get it in court. If they can’t get it in court, it’s going to hit the net. And when it hits the net, they’re going to see that it’s an innocent man in jail.”

Island Boys’ Kodiyakredd Insists He Was Taken To Jail For “No Reason”

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the weekend, it was reported that Island Boys member Franky Venegas, who also goes by Kodiyakredd, was arrested in Fort Lauderdale Friday night for various driving-related offenses. He’s accused of reckless driving, false ID, and operating a vehicle without a valid license. His twin brother and the other half of the musical duo, Flyysoulja, was quick to show him support on social media. “Free him. Flysoulja x kodiyakredd real brother got you,” he wrote on TikTok.

It appears as though the 22-year-old has since been released from police custody after getting booked into the Broward County Jail. In a new clip obtained by Daily Mail, he’s seemingly back at home as he provides fans with an update. According to him, he’s completely unbothered by the arrest. Moreover, he believes he was taken to jail for no reason.

Kodiyakredd Looks Unbothered Following Recent Arrest

“Yo, I’m going to jail for no reason bro,” he said in one clip, which was followed by his update. “I’m out by the way,” he began. “I came out early as f*ck in the morning, y’all know what time it is.” Kodiyakredd continued, lighting up and insisting he doesn’t care at all about his latest legal issues. “I’m gonna be chillin’, I don’t give a f*ck,” he explained. Unfortunately for Kodiyakredd, this wasn’t his first run-in with the police, as he was also arrested in May of last year for alleged domestic battery.

At the time, his then-girlfriend alerted authorities after he allegedly pushed her into a pool at a Florida Airbnb. She was later taken to a hospital and treated for injuries to her chin, legs and arms. He denied the allegations, and the charges were later dismissed. What do you think of the Island Boys’ Kodiyakredd’s update after getting arrested for alleged reckless driving, false ID, and more?

May 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that it’s been a tough few months for Chrisean Rock. Aside from adjusting to motherhood, the Baddies star is currently dealing with the father of her child Blueface, and his incarceration. The “Thotiana” performer turned himself in back in January for an alleged parole violation, and he’s expected to be behind bars until at least July of this year.

Amid Blueface’s stay, Chrisean has been vocal about wanting him to return home. While it doesn’t look like she’ll be getting that anytime soon, she recently got the next best thing. During an Instagram Live today, she revealed that she saw him in court. She broke down in tears while detailing their interaction, explaining how he got a rare opportunity to hold their baby boy, Chrisean Jr.

“I stood in the back with the baby,” she began. “But it’s cr*zy because when I first went to court that’s what I did the last time. The judge, she let me do it. She’s like ‘Oh no, she can stand up.’ So this time it was like a full circle. I could tell she noticed that my son got bigger or something because she looked at us, smiled.” Chrisean went on, recalling Blueface holding Jr. for the first time in months. “She was like, ‘Yeah come on, bring the baby.’ So I walked and gave him the baby, and he was just holding the baby, and I was just like holding him.”

“I didn’t know if I should kiss him or what, I don’t know what I wasn’t allowed to do to him,” she continued. “I was just like crying for real because I was just like ‘Oh my God.’ He got all chunky, his beard is filling in a little bit.” What do you think of Chrisean Rock getting emotional after seeing Blueface in court?

NBA YoungBoy To Remain In Federal Custody While He Awaits Pretrial Release Hearing

April 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy looks to be in a whole heap of trouble after his recent arraignment on April 16. As most know, the prolific Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper has been on house arrest in Utah for federal weapons charges and now he is facing even more charges. Those currently include “patterns of unlawful activity, procuring or attempting to procure drugs, identity fraud, forgery, possession of controlled substances, and possession of a dangerous weapon.” That was all reported by social media sleuth DJ Akademiks. Now, we have another new update surrounding YB’s legal situation. According to AllHipHop, the 24-year-old Kentrell Gaulden will be kept in federal custody until his pretrial release hearing on April 29.

The “Cache County Sheriff’s Office accused YB and his associates of illegally obtaining promethazine with codeine from pharmacies.” The rapper and the rest of the people involved were allegedly posing as doctors and fake patients to trick pharmacists. The Cache County investigator on the case, Tyson Hyrum Nielsen, sniffed out that the rapper was pretending to be an elderly woman with the alias, Gwendolyn Cox. AllHipHop says that Nielsen called “Cox” and YoungBoy on separate phone calls to decipher that it was indeed one person putting on a disguise.

NBA YoungBoy Will Have His Pretrial Release Hearing On April 29

“During the conversation with ‘Gwendolyn’ it was very clear that a fake voice was being used. ‘Gwendolyn’ sounded as though she was a much younger male from the southern states… Kentrell Gaulden continued to attempt to further the prescription fraud by talking about the prescription and saying, ‘she on the hospital bed,’ referring to the patient ‘Gwendolyn Cox’ from the previous day,” Nielsen said. He even noticed small dialect errors like saying “axe” instead of “ask.”

What are your thoughts on NBA YoungBoy being held in jail until his pretrial hearing on April 29? How do you see this entire court case playing out for him? Do you see YB getting out of the legal issues in the future, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding NBA YoungBoy and this case. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

Nardo Wick’s Brother Identified As Shooter In Ring Camera Footage

April 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nardo Wick has had his share of legal troubles. The rapper was arrested on a concealed weapons charge in August 2021, but released soon after. The same may not be true for Wick’s brother, Hayward Biggins. First Coast News reports that Biggins was caught shooting at a house in St. Johns County back in March. The house is located near Nardo Wick’s family home, and the footage in question, which was captured via ring camera, shows Biggins trying to kick in the front door before pulling out a gun and firing a single shot.

The outlet confirms that nobody was injured in the shooting. That being said, the tenants have moved out of the house and are afraid to return to the scene of the crime. “They can’t live there because they are traumatized,” a neighbor revealed. “They’ve been sleeping in a hotel for the last few weeks.” The owner of the St. Johns Country home claimed that there was a community meeting about the shooting, and that many wanted to confront Biggins at his home. “I had to stop people marching to his house, that’s how angry the neighborhood was,” they revealed. “I definitely feel the need of protecting our neighbors.”

Hayward Biggins Was Caught Firing A Gun On Camera

Biggins was taken into custody shortly after the shooting occurred. He was charged with shooting into an occupied dwelling and attempted armed burglary. Nardo Wick’s manager was critical of the way the locals handled the incident, however. He accused Biggins’ neighbors of being “clout chasers” who are trying to drag Wick into the situation despite his lack of involvement. “[The family] had nothing to do with Hayward’s actions,” he said. “And the shooting had nothing to do with Nardo Wick.”

The name of the tenants will not be released due to safety concerns. Nardo Wick has not spoken on the incident publicly, but he has been quick to criticize those close to him in the past. He took two members of his security team to task in 2023 when they assaulted a fan who was trying to get a picture with him. “I don’t stand with the situation that happened,” he said on Instagram Live. “As soon as it happened I tried to deescalate the situation.” Wick’s brother, Biggins, is currently in jail without bond.

Jonathan Majors Avoids Jail Time, Sentenced To Domestic Violence Intervention Program

April 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jonathan Majors will avoid jail time after being convicted of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment, last December. The disgraced former Marvel actor appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday for his sentencing. Instead of prison, he’ll have to partake in a 52-week domestic violence intervention program that will take place in person in Los Angeles. The prosecution asked for a six-month jail alternative if he fails to complete the program.

Additionally, Majors will have to continue mental health counseling and therapy while providing the court with updates on treatment. His attorney requested that he be able to take all of the sessions virtually. “We are optimistic that Mr. Majors will work in the film industry again soon,” they said. The Judge countered that the matter could be reconsidered if he starts landing roles again.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – APRIL 8: Actor Jonathan Majors arrives with girlfriend Meagan Good for sentencing in his domestic abuse case at Manhattan Criminal Court on April 8, 2024, in New York City.

At the sentencing, Majors’ former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, whom he was convicted of assaulting, read a victim impact statement. “He’s not sorry. He has not accepted responsibility, and he will do this again. He will hurt other women. This is a man who believes he’s above the law,” Jabbari told the court. “I will not rest until I feel that he’s not a danger to anyone else.” Majors did not make a statement because, as his attorney put it, Jabbari would “attempt to use it against him in her civil case.”

Majors was joined in court on Monday by his girlfriend, Meagan Good. She was by his side during the initial trial. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jonathan Majors on HotNewHipHop.

Blueface’s Jail Fight Leaves Jaidyn Alexis Unbothered, She Debuts Huge “Barbie” Tattoo

March 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since Blueface turned himself in for an alleged parole violation in January, his family members and fans alike have called for his release, though Jaidyn Alexis has kept her lips mostly sealed. While the rapper’s mother Karlissa Saffold, Chrisean Rock, and more can’t stop posting about how much they miss him, the MILF Music mainstay continues to focus on herself.

This remains true even after reports that Blueface was involved in an altercation behind bars were confirmed by Wack 100 this week. The “Thotiana” performer’s manager took to social media to clear things up, claiming that while Blueface did get into a “scuffle,” he’s completely fine. Regardless, the news sparked concern among his supporters, and especially his mother.

Jaidyn Alexis Flexes Her New Ink

Wack made it apparent that there’s no need to worry, stating that he’s got “eyes” on the hitmaker and that he knows how to fight. Either way, Jaidyn doesn’t seem to be letting the revelation get her down, as she recently hopped on Instagram to show off some new ink. In a clip shared on her Story earlier today, the mom of two showcases a large “Barbie” tattoo on her forearm. The fun piece appears to be a tribute to her most successful song yet by the same name. It’s not the only tattoo Jaidyn’s debuted recently, however.

At the beginning of this month, she and a friend were chatting with followers on Instagram Live when the “Stewie” MC revealed a tattoo of Blueface’s name on her backside. In addition to Jaidyn, Chrisean Rock also has a tattoo tribute to Blueface on her cheek. Bonnie Lashay, the artist’s self-proclaimed “side chick,” even has his mugshot permanently etched on her behind. What do you think of Jaidyn Alexis’ new “Barbie” tattoo? What about her reaction, or lack thereof, to Blueface fight behind bars? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Blueface Gets Into Fight In Jail, Wack 100 Details Karlissa Saffold’s Emotional Reaction

March 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in January, Blueface turned himself in for an alleged parole violation, and has remained behind bars ever since. Reportedly, the rapper will be in custody for at least another few months. Shortly after his arrest, it was speculated that he’d be getting out in July of this year. Only a few weeks later, however, it was revealed that he was also wanted in Nevada. This likely means that once he completes his stint in California, he’ll be transported to Nevada to serve time there.

As expected, the “Thotiana” performer’s arrest has sparked a tremendous amount of concern from his loved ones and fans alike. His mother Karlissa Saffold, for example, frequently posts about her son and asks for help getting him released early. Unfortunately, these concerns have only been compounded after a recent revelation made by his manager, Wack 100.

Wack 100 Says Blueface Is “Alright”

During an Instagram Live this week, Wack 100 revealed that Blueface recently got into a fight in jail. While he didn’t share many additional details of the “scuffle,” he confirmed that the 27-year-old is “alright.” He recalled sharing the news with Blueface’s mom shortly after, and understandably, she was horrified and “screaming.” Wack claims there’s no need to be worried, as he’s “got eyes” on the LA native, who he also says knows how to fight.

Wack additionally denied rumors, fueled by Blueface’s brother Dre, that he’s been stabbed. “He had a little fight that’s it,” he explained. “Just a f*cking fight. County jail, it happens, right?” What do you think of Wack 100 claiming Blueface was recently involved in an altercation behind bars? Are you surprised or not? What about his account of the rapper’s mom Karlissa Saffold’s reaction to the worrisome news? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kodak Black Shows His Lawyer Love After Securing His Release From Prison

March 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black spent the first few weeks of 2024 in prison. That came after he was hit with some possession charges when police found him passed out in his car. Though the charges were eventually dropped by the judge, Kodak remained in police custody. But after a few weeks behind bars, he navigated through the legal system enough to secure his release. That wasn’t without the help of his lawyer though and the impact he had isn’t lost on Kodak. That’s why it’s no surprise that the rapper took to Instagram to shout out his legal advisor.

In a recent post to his story, Kodak shared a picture of the pair together. While it’s an older pic from May of last year, the timing of the post makes its intention clear. Underneath a repost of the picture fans react to Kodak’s lawyer once again coming in clutch for him. “His lawyer might be the goat no lie” one of the top comments on the post reads. “He got a gta lawyer fasho” another top comment reads. Check out the picture that Kodak shared of his lawyer below.

Kodak Black Hypes Up His Lawyer

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

At one point it looked like Kodak’s new legal battles could bring back some old struggles the rapper dealt with. He was famously pardoned by Donald Trump during the former president’s time in office. But in the days following his most recent arrest the sentence that was pardoned was brought back up. It was suspected that if Kodak pleaded guilty to another charge he might have to also serve the original sentence that was pardoned.

Last year, Kodak dropped his new album When I Was Dead. Numerous songs on the project like “Lemme See” and “Hope You Know” have racked up millions of streams in the months since it came out. What do you think of Kodak Black showing his lawyer some love after securing his release from prison? Do you think Kodak will be able to stay out of legal trouble going forward? Let us know in the comment section below.
