NBA YoungBoy’s Baby Mama Reveals Kidnapping Scare Was A Prank

by

Last weekend, NBA YoungBoy’s baby mama Arcola scared her Instagram followers when she went Live from the trunk of a car. Moreover, she claimed to have been kidnapped and then let her page know that she was okay, which confused a lot of people. After all, many wondered, why would you go on Instagram Live rather than calling 911 or clarifying the situation after the fact? Regardless, we now know that this situation was apparently all a prank. New audio emerged on Sunday night (February 26) of Arcola confessing that this was a big misunderstanding and that she didn’t actually call the police.

“That Carlee, or Carlae, whatever her name is, that type of s**t,” YoungBoy’s baby mama began. “I never called the police, that’s the difference. I never got on Live and said ‘Call the police,’ I said ‘Call my mom.’ I seen the green latch. If I was really kidnapped, I would’ve pulled that motherf***er.” “It was childish, and you do have to stop doing that type of stuff because you do have a bigger following,” Arcola’s friend added. “But b***hes just need to mind their f***ing business, period.”

by

A couple of days ago, tragedy struck for the family and friends of Maryana Rodgers, The 23-year-old woman was a close friend of the now-criminal, Sakari Harnden. Rodgers was expecting to see Sakari for a “kinky sex” session that was planned by the 19-year-old. Chance Comanche, former G-League player and ex of Sakari was posing as a “trick,” which is someone who pays someone else to fulfill their sexual fantasies. Rodgers was down to do it since she was expecting a payout of $1000.

When Rodgers showed up everything came to a twisted and sad end. Chance said that he proceeded to wrap an HDMI cord around Rodger’s neck to strangle her. Sakari then choked her out until she was unresponsive. Chance and Sakari then hid her body out in the desert somewhere in Las Vegas. The Arizona basketball alum admitted to the kidnapping and murdering of Rodgers recently.

Rodgers went missing on Dec. 7 according to AP. The motivation to plan this murder came from Sakari. According to reports from FOX5 Vegas in the video above, “police found out that Sakari, the suspect, had told her friends that she wasn’t feeling [Rodgers] because she spoke to the authorities in LA about something, which resulted in her [new] boyfriend’s arrest in a double murder case. That is when Sakari reached out to her ex, Chance, to plan a method to murder her. It is utterly gut-wrenching news, as Comanche and Sakari are now both facing murder and kidnapping charges. The FBI arrested the basketball player a couple of days ago. Sakari was locked up with a bond of $500,000.

Cher Accused Of Hiring Men To Kidnap Her Son

by

Cher stands accused of hiring four men to kidnap her son, Elijah Blue Allman, from his New York hotel on the night of his wedding anniversary in November 2021. Allman’s estranged wife, Marie Angela King, outlined the allegations in a court declaration she filed on December 4, in the Los Angeles Superior Court. The report became public, only recently, amid the couple’s ongoing divorce.

“After spending these 12 days together in NY… four people came to our hotel room and removed [Allman] from our room,” King claimed. She further added that she was “told by one of the four men who took him that they were hired by [Allman’s] mother.”

From there, King admitted that she was worried about Allman’s safety. “I am currently unaware of my husband’s wellbeing or whereabouts,” King wrote at the time. “I am very concerned and worried about him.” She added: “Since August 2022, I have been told that I am not allowed to see or speak to [Allman] who is currently in lockdown at a treatment facility that is undisclosed to me. I am also told [Allman] has no access to his phone.” King concluded the filing: “I understand his family’s efforts to make sure he is well, and I want what is best for my husband.”

Allman is the son of Cher and her ex-husband, Gregg Allman. The two married just days after Cher’s split from Sonny Bono in 1975 and welcomed Allman in 1976. They called off the relationship three years later. Allman has been dealing with drug issues since his teenage years. Since the 2010s, he’s been in and out of sobriety. Allman and King married back in 2013 before filing for divorce in 2020. Be on the lookout for further updates on their relationship on HotNewHipHop.

Soulja Boy Ordered To Pay $235k In Assault Case

by

Soulja Boy is going to have to pay a pretty penny to his ex-girlfriend for a party gone awry. The rapper has reportedly been instructed to pay $235,000 to his ex-girlfriend, Kayla Meyers. This was a result of a lawsuit filed against him following an incident in 2019 where she accused him of assault and kidnapping. A Los Angeles jury made a decision on Meyers’ civil case on Friday, as reported by Radar Online. According to court records, the jury granted Meyers $1,800 for “mental health expenses” and an additional $234,100 for “physical and mental pain and suffering,” totaling $235,900. The jury also determined that Soulja acted with “malice, oppression or fraud.”

During her testimony last week, Meyers presented pictures of her purported injuries, including three broken ribs. In addition to the text messages, she exhibited DMs that she claimed were sent to her by the rapper. While Soulja Boy was not charged with a crime for the alleged assault, law enforcement officers discovered weapons at his residence, which breached the conditions of his probation. The rapper contends that a third party caused Myers’ injuries and has denied any culpability.

Soulja Boy’s Party From Hell

Soulja Boy sure knows how to ruin a good night. In February 2019, a party was reportedly held at the location where an incident occurred. The events of that night led to a lawsuit being filed against the rapper and his assistant for sexual battery. The alleged assault and kidnapping happened at the his Malibu residence and lasted for about six hours. When the victim, Kayla Myers, tried to leave, there was a disagreement between her and one of Soulja’s assistants. According to the suit, Myers claims she was knocked to the ground and kicked in the stomach.

In addition to the physical abuse, Myers alleges that Soulja Boy pointed a “large” firearm at her head and threatened to kill her. The rapper then purportedly instructed another assistant to tie her up with duct tape and have her shower to clean up the wounds she sustained. Myers states that Anderson offered to release her if she performed oral sex on him, which she did. Then, at 8 AM, the victim was allowed to leave. At the time, Soulja Boy reportedly said, “Now get this b*tch outta here before I knock her down the stairs.” What do you think of the jury’s decision? Let us know in the comments.

Tiwa Savage Nearly Kidnapped, Singer-Songwriter Safe After Nigerian Police Find Four Suspects

by

Being a celebrity certainly comes with its perks, but of course, there are major risks involved too. Tiwa Savage learned that the hard way this month, according to The Guardian. The 41-year-old nearly fell victim to a kidnapping plot put together by her newly-hired domestic staff. They’ve since been taken into police custody in Nigeria. Details surrounding their plan remain sparse at this time. We do know that Savage’s employees were entrusted with her personal and private information. They later passed that on to others who were hoping to capture her.

Thankfully, the singer-songwriter’s security team and local authorities acted swiftly. Nigerian Police Force Criminal Investigation Department spokesperson Oluniyi Ogundeyi spoke with the media earlier this weekend, confirming that Savage’s safety is a top priority. “Yes, we have some suspects. They are in our custody, they are about four,” the African officer reported. As AllHipHop notes, the update comes quickly following news of the kidnapping on Friday (April 14), via a memo on the Lagos native’s Instagram page.

Tiwa Savage Confirms Her Safety

“Following recent reports online, we can confirm that on Thursday 13 April 2023, there was a major security breach at the residence of musician Tiwa Savage,” it begins. “A number of suspects were caught and are currently being held under investigation at Alagbon Police Station, Ikoyi,” the update also noted before confirming that the mother of one and her family “are safe and well.” In the comment section, many fans expressed concern for the talented starlet following the near tragedy. “Shay you go come and stay with me for a while? 😞😣,” one person asked.

Another obviously upset user wrote, “They wan go rob her 😢. They want that her ice necklace 😢. Imagine the mindset of some men just ‘cos they think she is a single woman so they can just go rob her anyhow. Chai. Jail straight and I don’t know why they were not shot at sight.” In her caption, Tiwa Savage addressed all the love she’s been receiving, writing, “Thanks for all the messages ❤ All is well 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.” Check back later for any updates on the recent arrests and your favourite artists.

6ix9ine Provoked His Kidnapping, Gang Member Argues

by

Anthony “Harv” Ellison, a convicted member of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, wants a reduction in his 24-year prison sentence. He is now arguing that 6ix9ine’s criminal behavior provoked the kidnapping that landed him in prison. Ellison’s charges included RICO Conspiracy, Kidnapping in Aid of Racketeering, and Using a Firearm During and In Relation to a Crime of Violence.

“He cooperated and, for the most part, evaded being punished for his unlawful acts by immediately cooperating and testifying at the trial in this case,” Ellison explained, as noted by AllHipHop. “However, it was Mr. Hernandez’s misconduct and involvement in the alleged criminal enterprise that subjected him to and provoked the alleged kidnapping.” Ellison’s request is still pending a response.

The new attempt at a sentence reduction comes despite several recent legal setbacks in his case. The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied his appeal in September 2022. He also requested a compassionate release due to the risk of contracting coronavirus but that was denied in July 2021.

The court originally hit Ellison with 24 years in federal prison and five years of supervised release in October 2020. “Anthony Ellison was a high-ranking member of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, a violent gang that wreaked havoc across New York City, and he was convicted of racketeering, kidnapping, and a violent assault with a dangerous weapon. Now, thanks to the outstanding work of our partners at the NYPD, HSI, and ATF, he will spend the next 24 years in federal prison,” Audrey Strauss, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said at the time of his sentencing.

6ix9ine previously pled guilty to nine criminal charges in his own federal racketeering case in 2019. With his deal, the rapper testified that Ellison and co-defendant Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack set up the 2018 kidnapping. 6ix9ine served time in home confinement. As of 2023, 6ix9ine is back to focusing on his music career and just filmed a new music video in the Dominican Republic.

McGee and Eric James Williams survived their 4-day ordeal after they were kidnapped at gunpoint by cartel members in Matamoros, Mexico on March 3.

They were rescued from a stash house around 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday. McGee, 33, was unharmed, but Williams was shot in the left leg.

McGee’s cousin Shaeed Woodard, 33, and Zindell Brown, 28, were found dead in a field nearby. Burgess thanked the public for their prayers and support.

“I appreciated their prayers. I thank them for praying because that’s what I had needed. Prayer, it will change things. It works out. And prayer, you believe in it and it’ll work. It did it for me. Because I was praying for my daughter. And I know she was coming home. I knew it. I didn’t know when and what time. But, I knew she was coming.”

The shootouts in Matamoros were allegedly so bad that the U.S. Consulate issued an alert about the danger Friday.

Mexico Kidnapping: 2 Americans Dead, 2 Found Alive

by

Authorities reported four Americans missing last week in a suspected cartel kidnapping in Mexico. Police in both Mexico and America have worked tirelessly to get to the bottom of the kidnapping. This morning, CNN reported that it may have been a case of mistaken identity. Investigators believe that the members of the cartel felt as though the four individuals may have been smuggling drugs, leading to the kidnapping. They added that they didn’t believe the Americans had any criminal history.

Members of the kidnapped individuals said that Latavia “Tay” Washington McGee drove to Matamoros for a medical procedure, along with three other individuals: Zindell Brown, Shaeed Woodard and a man solely identified as Eric. FBI in San Antonio said they were shot at by gunmen once they crossed the border and were “placed into a vehicle and taken from the scene by armed men.” CNN obtained photos that revealed their car had crashed prior to the four Americans abduction.

2 Americans Found Dead In Mexico

American and Mexican authorities confirmed that two of the kidnapped Americans returned to the U.S. while the other two died. Tamaulipas state Gov. Américo Villarreal said that a man, identified as Eric, suffered a gunshot wound to the leg, and a woman, identified as LaTavia, was found unharmed. Both have returned to the U.S. through a bridge between Matamoros, Mexico and Brownsville, Texas. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said, “we are in the process of working to repatriate the remains of the two Americans who were killed in this incident.” 

Police discovered the two survivors in a wooden house located at La Lagunona in Matamoros, Villarreal. They arrested one suspect, Jose N, who police said “was found guarding the victims.” He was subsequently arrested, though authorities haven’t clarified what charges he will face. Authorities also confirmed another casualty during the shootout. “[An] innocent Mexican citizen was tragically killed,” Ken Salazar, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, said in a statement. Attorney General Irving Barrios Mojica confirmed they are still investigating the matter with hopes to apprehend other suspects. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding this tragic incident.

Leader Of Gretchen Whitmer Kidnapping Plot Sentenced To 16 Years In Prison

by

A judge has sentenced Adam Fox to 16 years in prison for his role in plotting to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer. Prosecutors say that Fox was the leader in the scheme.

“There is need for public understanding of the cost of this kind of wrongdoing and certainly for specific deterrence as well. And there is impact on our overall governmental system, not just physical threat to our sitting governor, it’s the emotional baggage that now our governor will have to carry and that she’s written about in her report,” Judge Robert Jonker said in court on Tuesday.

He added: “And beyond that, it does affect not just the willingness and eagerness of our own governor to continue in office but undoubtedly affects other people who are either in public office or are considering public office.”

Fox’s defense attorney Christopher Gibbons said the ruling “overstates the reality of the conduct” of which Fox is accused.

Fox declined to comment on the sentence. Instead, he told the court, “I’m satisfied with what my lawyer said.”

His legal team has also argued that the FBI committed entrapment in the case.

Prosecutors requested that Fox receive the maximum sentence of life in prison. They noted that he has expressed no remorse, arguing he “will remain a danger to the public.”

A jury originally convicted Fox on charges of kidnapping conspiracy and conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction in August.

Fox, along with the rest of his group, the “Wolverine Watchmen,” originally plotted to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer in 2020. The FBI interrupted their plans before they could act on them.
