YFN Lucci’s Attorney Denies Rumors That He’ll Testify in YSL RICO Case

by

YFN Lucci is at the centre of the latest developments in YSL’s RICO case. Lucci and Thugger have a history of involving themselves in a back-and-forth beef over the years.

Lucci’s mother was reportedly shot at some time during their beef. Prosecutors reportedly believe that the So Much Fun rapper subsequently bragged about being responsible in his lyrics.

The song in question is his 2021 collab with the late Juice WRLD, “Bad Boy.” “I shot at his mommy, now he no longer mention me,” Thug raps in the track.

On Thursday (December 29), rumors that Lucci is on the witness list within YSL’s case began to circulate on social media. This stems from a video taken in court. Somebody asks if YFN Lucci is in the indictment, to which someone else responds, “he’s a witness. Isn’t he on the witness list also?” Another person replies, “right.”

However, the “Everyday We Lit” rapper’s attorney, Drew Findling is speaking out against these claims.

“Rayshawn Bennett [Lucci], has never been interviewed or subpoenaed by law-enforcement, the Fulton County District Attorney‘s office or any of the party’s regarding the YSL case. Any party can announce for example that Abraham Lincoln is on their witness list, but those words alone are meaningless. So, to be 100% clear, Rayshawn Bennett [Lucci] will not be a witness in the YSL case. His focus, as it should be, is on his pending Fulton County case,” Findling says in a statement to XXL.

Earlier last year, the world was witness to Lucci surrendering himself to authorities on murder and gang charges. Furthermore, the Atlanta native claims he was the victim of a stabbing while behind bars in March. Despite requests to see a release, he remains in prison. As does Young Thug, who awaits his trial after several fellow YSL members have taken plea deals. Jury selection will reportedly begin on January 5, 2023.

YSL RICO Update: Slug Takes Plea Deal, Two Others Decline

by

As Young Thug remains behind bars, updates on the future of other YSL members are revealing themselves.

Reports on Thursday (December 29) indicate that three more members were offered plea deals. However, only one of them is reportedly deciding to take it.

“Trontavious Stephens aka Tick aka Slug takes plea deal in #YoungThug case. He faced 5-20 yrs on the racketeering count. (only count charged),” reports Cathy Russon, the Executive Producer at Law&Crime Network.

“He received 10 years, with 2 yrs time served & remaining 8 yrs on probation. He will be released,” she continues afterward. Stephens becomes the eighth YSL member to take a plea deal.

Stephens also agrees to testify truthfully at the trial. Additionally, he is unable to assert the fifth amendment.

Furthermore, he admits that he does indeed go by Tick as one of his nicknames. In Thugger’s song “You,” the 31-year-old raps, “She gettin’ robbed my Tick.” He acknowledges this as a fact as well.

Although Stephens is taking the plea deal, there are two other YSL members who declined to do so earlier today.

DJ Akademiks has consistently been reporting on the case through his social media accounts and took to his Instagram to provide the update.

“At least thug can say 2 of his members denied getting out of jail instantly and is taking it to trial wit him. The judge warned the defendants that taking the plea would make them free immediately but taking it to trial he would sentence them to the max if they lost the case. Tenquarius is facing 50 years in prison if convicted at trial,” the streamer says in the caption along with the news.

Ever since Gunna became the first person to accept a plea deal in the case, there has been speculation online about whether or not there is snitching involved when taking the deal. Although, Gunna’s attorney, Steve Sadow has consistently stated that there is no truth behind these claims.

“Gunna did not snitch to get out of jail. He has said nothing and is not cooperating. His plea statement cannot be used in court against any other defendant. So please stop spreading lies!!!” he writes in a statement.

Regardless, there continues to be discourse online about what these pleas will mean for Young Thug.

ABC Accidentally Shows Picture Of Quavo In Takeoff Tribute

by

At the end of every year, ABC does an “In Memorium” segment to honor the celebrities who have passed away throughout the months prior.

Airing on Monday (December 26), this year’s segment honored late figures like Olivia Newton-John, Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, Coolio, Stephen “tWitch” Boss and more.

However, the network made a critical mistake. When the tribute for Takeoff appeared on the screen, it was unfortunately a photo of his uncle, Quavo, instead.

Evidently, fans were quick to notice and subsequently took to social media to air out their thoughts.

“ABC, count your f*cking days. These mother f*ckers really put a picture of Guavo and said RIP Takeoff! Like whyyyyyyy. Smh. Whoever put that slide show together needs to be fired,” says one user.

“Yo @ABC whoever you have reviewing the yearly tribute to all the famous people who died this year needs to get fired, had a pic of Quavo in place of Takeoff,” writes another.

“So I’m watching #TheYear on @abc and was caught off guard by the disrespect and ignorance of the programming. All black people don’t look the same and y’all got this one wrong, the person [in] the picture is clearly, clearly Quavo[.] Do better,” says another Twitter user.

The Apology

The network has since apologized for the mistake. Additionally, they have also updated the photo to be one of Takeoff. In a tweet posted on Tuesday (December 27), they made sure to correct it. “We apologize for the unfortunate error in a previous version of ‘The Year: 2022.’ It has been corrected,” the tweet reads.

It’s been nearly two months since the late Migos rapper‘s tragic murder in November following a fatal shooting at a private event in Houston. The “Last Memory” rapper was only 28 years old.

The alleged shooter, Patrick Clark, has since been arrested and charged with murder. Earlier today, a judge denied yet another request for a bond reduction by Clark’s legal team. His bond remains set at $1 million.

R. Kelly Confirms He Didn’t Have A Child With Joycelyn Savage

by

Even from behind bars, R. Kelly continues to be in the headlines. Over the past couple of days, rumors began circulating on social media that his alleged fiancée, Joycelyn Savage gave birth to his kid. However, her father, Timothy Savage, has since denied these claims.

Taking to his Instagram account on Tuesday (December 27), he went live to address the situation. “The little baby on the account is a pretty little baby. If I had a granddaughter, I would be the first to say I love this child, no matter what the situation is. These people are evil, cruel people. To take a horrible situation and try to make some profit off of it,” he says.

Mr. Savage goes on to say that a fake Instagram account claiming to be his daughter is responsible for making the announcement and subsequently stirring up the gossip.

Furthermore, a new update on Wednesday (December 28) provides audio recordings of the disgraced singer speaking from prison. In an exclusive interview with Rick Party of The Natasha Simona Sequence show, the 55-year-old also denies that Savage gave birth to his child. “I can’t name names, I can just say, Joycelyn is my fiancée and I love her and she loves me, and we’re together. I can say that. She is not in my case or none of that. She’s not against me,” says Kelly during the phone conversation.

When Party asks him directly if the rumors are true, the disgraced singer is quick to speak out. “Hell nah! That’s what I’m sayin’. She didn’t have a child. I didn’t put out no damn album. If I did put out an album, it wouldn’t be called I Admit It. We gotta start using our common sense at some point,” he says afterwards.

This all stems from comments made by Savage earlier this year. In August, she claimed to be pregnant with the 55-year-old’s child in a shocking tell-all. Although all other parties have denied this to be true, it should be noted that Savage herself has yet to speak out.

The “Ignition” singer remains behind bars, where he is currently serving a 30-year sentence for his various crimes, including sex trafficking and racketeering.

Takeoff’s Alleged Killer Denied Another Bond Reduction

by

It’s been nearly three months since the tragic and sudden death of Takeoff. In the early morning of November 1, the 28-year-old was shot and killed while at a private party in Houston.

The fatal shooting allegedly stemmed from an altercation over a dice game.

Authorities have since been successful in identifying the alleged shooter as Patrick Clark. He has subsequently been arrested and charged with murder in the case.

The upcoming trial is evidently causing some financial issues for the suspect. Shortly after his arrest, reports indicate that he requested money from the judge in order to hire a private investigator. The judge has since awarded him $5,000 in order to do so.

Earlier this month, the judge set Clark’s bond at $2 million. After his lawyer argued that the number was an excessive amount, the judge lowered it to $1 million. However, the alleged shooter’s attorneys still believe the seven-figure number is too high.

Nonetheless, a further request to lower the bond has reportedly been denied on Wednesday (December 28). Clark’s attorneys want the bond set at $330,000. They say his family members are preparing to cover his bond if the lowering takes place. However, it appears as though this won’t be happening.

The judge reportedly labels Clark as a flight risk if let out on bail. He was allegedly preparing to fly to Mexico after the murder. Upon his arrest, authorities discovered his passport and an itinerary for the country on his person.

Additionally, the judge has some evidence supporting the fact that Clark actually can afford the bond payment. This includes social media posts in which he’s posing with large sums of money, as well as alleged phone calls where he states that he could cover the original $2 million bond.

Long Live Takeoff.

NBA YoungBoy Says He Plans To Move His Family To Europe

by

2022 has been an extremely busy year for NBA YoungBoy. Dropping eight full-length projects and a string of YouTube videos, the Last Slimeto rapper is maintaining his label as one of the hardest-working rappers in the game.

Not only has he been busy with his music career, but also with his personal life. In September, he welcomed his 10th child into the world.

Seemingly as a result of all his overwhelming success, the “Make No Sense” rapper says he wants to eventually move his family to Europe.

“We got to stay prayed up[.] I really want to move [to] Europe with my family once all of this [is] put behind me,” he wrote in the short social media post. “I’m stacking money until then!!” the 23-year-old added.

Considering YoungBoy’s family consists of 10 kids and multiple baby mamas, the move would certainly be a complicated one.

To make matters worse, he’s gotten into some public feuds with the mothers of some of his children. One of them, Drea Symone, took to her Twitter account in October to call YB out for not being present in their daughter’s life. “[I’d] Trade all the money in the world for my youngest daughter to have a father,” she wrote.

Regardless, the Baton Rouge native’s latest project of the aforementioned eight this year, arrived in the form of Lost Files just last week. Containing 21 tracks and no features, the tape follows his Quando Rondo collab album, 3860. In October, he teamed up with DJ Drama for the Gangsta Grillz mixtape, Ma’ I Got A Family.

Furthermore, the 23-year-old was evidently active during this holiday season. On Saturday (December 24), he was engaging in arguments online with Blueface. In the rather light-hearted exchange, the rappers debated over who gets more girls. “You get your group and I’ma get my group, and we gon’ see who got the baddest h*es,” he told the “Bleed It” rapper.

Amber Rose Checks Murda Mook For Comments Criticizing Women With “No Talent”

by

Regardless of your thoughts on Amber Rose, it’s undeniable that she’s continuing to make a name for herself in the industry.

Murda Mook, however, wasn’t shy in sharing his thoughts on women with “no talent” getting famous. Rose was quick to take exception.

The interaction took place on the set of Drink Champs, where the pair appeared along with Loaded Lux on Sunday (December 25).

“Think about it, having no talent that’s the new talent / I saw a b*tch on red carpet and I said ‘tell me what you do’ / She said, ‘I’m pretty, I pierced my cl*t, my t*tties, my belly button too / I twerk for the ‘Gram, my videos get a hella bunch of views,” the “100 Dollar Bill” rapper says in an impromptu freestyle.

Evidently, the TV personality wasn’t here for the comments. Rose subsequently challenged the Harlem native’s thinking, asking him if there’s a problem with “untalented” women being famous. “But who do you blame for that? Is it the girls’ problem or the consumer?” she asks.

“Let’s say, me, Kim Kardashian, Jada, Ari[ana].. it should never be a conversation amongst men because it’s like, you have to then blame the consumer, right? Because these girls, us, are known as not having talent, but like, we make a lot of money,” the 39-year-old continues afterwards.

Furthermore, Rose went on to challenge the Harlem rapper for his use of belittling terms aimed at women. “Don’t hate the b*tch, hate the consumer. You’re observing a b*tch making money because she’s pretty and twerking. Let the b*tch twerk and make her f*cking money,” she says in the clip below.

Earlier this year, the social media personality dropped her first of four singles in 2022. Aptly-titled “GYHO,” short for “Get Your Hoe On,” the track showcases her embrace of being sexually active. Although it wasn’t generally well-received among rap fans on social media, the song and her debate with Mook certainly fit her sex-positive brand.

All in all, the back-and-forth appeared to simply be a healthy debate for the most part. Check out the interview in its entirety down below.

Southwest Airlines Under Investigation After Mass Flight Cancellations Impacting Thousands

by

The holidays are typically a time of cheer. Unfortunately, this year that wasn’t the case for those stuck at airports due to flight cancellations. In particular, those travelling with Southwest Airlines were hit the hardest.

As Complex reports, after upwards of 2,500 flights were cancelled on Tuesday (December 27), the U.S. Department of Transportation made the executive decision to step in. “USDOT is concerned by Southwest’s unacceptable rate of cancellations and delays. [Also the] reports of lack of prompt customer service,” they wrote on Twitter yesterday evening.

“The Department will examine whether cancellations were controllable and if Southwest is complying with its customer service plan,” they additionally went on to note.

On Monday, Southwest shut down nearly 3,000, or approximately 70%, of its scheduled flights. “We’re working with Safety at the forefront to urgently address wide-scale disruption by rebalancing the airline and repositioning Crews and our fleet ultimately to best serve all who plan to travel with us,” their subsequent statement read.

“We were fully staffed and prepared for the approaching holiday weekend when the severe weather swept across the continent, where Southwest is the largest carrier in 23 of the top 25 travel markets in the U.S. These operational conditions forced daily changes to our flight schedule at a volume and magnitude that still has the tools our teams use to recover the airline operating at capacity.”

Half of the cancellations on Boxing Day were Southwest flights. Following behind them was Delta, whose second-place spot saw them shutting down a total of 265 flights.

Thousands remain in airports, with little to no customer service or aid available for them. Apps like TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram are full of storytimes from those spending their Christmas in an airport.

Check back in later for any updates on the Southwest Airlines investigation.

Nostradamus’ 2023 Predictions Include World War III & End Of The Monarchy

by

With a new year, for many, comes new resolutions and the chance to step into a better version of yourself. However, each new year also comes with 365 days of potential turmoil – depending on what the universe plans to throw at us. According to 16th-century astrologer, Nostradamus, the impending fresh start could have some serious upheaval.

As the NY Post reports, the accused heretic successfully predicted many past events. Among them are 9/11, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Great Fire of London, and Hitler’s rise to power. His foresight is undeniably pessimistic in nature, which is why he’s known as the “prophet of doom.”

His bleak outlook is said to be a result of the Old Testament and the trauma of losing both his wife and children to illness at a young age. In 1555 he published Les Prophéties, in which he describes future wars, civil unrest, assassinations, and the like.

For 2022, the late figure prophesized about the rise of AI, cryptocurrency’s conquering power, and a sudden rise in cannibalism due to ongoing inflation. In December we can confidently say that bitcoin was a flop, cost of living is higher than ever, and Evan Peters’ rendition of Jeffrey Dahmer became one of the most popular shows on Netflix this year.

Unfortunately, it sounds like Nostradamus’ worldview hasn’t changed much for 2023. According to him global warming will continue to cause more problems, such as an increase in fish deaths.

“Like the sun the head shall sear the shining sea: The Black Sea’s living fish shall all but boil,” he wrote centuries ago.

Elsewhere, he seems to speak of the fall of the monarchy when describing “Celestial fire on the royal edifice.” If taken literally this could mean an actual meteor or other blaze striking Buckingham Palace. However, it’s possibly a metaphor for the “bombshell” from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new docuseries.

It’s no secret that the threat of World War III has been imminent for some time now, with the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. At this point, even Nostradamus wouldn’t be surprised to see more severe conflict break out around the globe.

“Seven months great war, people dead through evil,” is his book’s prediction. If you think that’s bad, just wait until you hear what he has to say next.

On top of all the other aforementioned chaos, Nos also believes 2023 will see the arrival of a highly unwanted guest. “The antichrist very soon annihilates the three. Twenty-seven years his war will last. The unbelievers are dead, captive, exiled. With blood, human bodies, water and red hail covering the earth.”

Do you think any of Nostradamus’ writings will come true next year? Let us know below. Also, if you’re curious about astrology, check out our analysis of Kanye West’s birth chart to learn more here.

Yung Joc Shaves His Head Following Tory Lanez Guilty Verdict

by

The world is continuing to react to Tory Lanez being found guilty in his trial against Megan thee Stallion late last week.

Unfortunately for Yung Joc, the news caused clips of an interview he gave last week to resurface on social media.

In the clip from an interview with VladTV, the Atlanta native vows to shave his head bald if Lanez is found guilty.

“I’ma just say this, okay? I made a bet with Shyneka and Shawty Shawty on my morning show that if Tory is found guilty, I’ll shave my head. I’ll shave my whole head bald. I told Shyneka if Tory [is] innocent, she gotta come to work with the braids that be under the weave. Can’t get ’em fresh, I need the weave patted down braids, the Beyoncé pat my weave braids. She gotta come to work like that,” he says during the conversation.

“I can’t wait to see how this video turns out. Either way, this is a very unfortunate situation. Just through the eyes of watching it, I don’t ever want anyone to feel like I’m making fun of their situation, ’cause it’s very unfortunate and it’s very bad for our culture, but I pray that this plays out fair,” he clarifies afterwards.

It turns out Yung Joc is evidently a man of his word. On Tuesday (December 27), videos began surfacing online of the rapper’s fellow Morning Takeover host, Shyneka, proudly shaving his head.

“This [is] for Meg thee Stallion. This [is] for Meg and Roc Nation,” she exclaims in the footage.

Just a few weeks ago, the “It’s Goin’ Down” rapper was in the headlines following some controversial comments. During a different interview with VladTV, the Atlanta native shares his thoughts on the current state of females in the rap game.

“It’s already hard for women to find their place anyway. Even now, you got all these female rappers. Let’s give it another 180 days. Let’s give it to this time next year and let’s see if we got this many female rappers that’s buzzing. I bet you it won’t,” he says explicitly.
