While the multimillion dollar home is being sold, the 31-year old star is still behind bars awaiting trial . Atlanta police accused YSL of being a violent street gang, cofounded by Thug in the mid-2010s. His trial is set to begin on January 9, 2023. However, over a half-dozen of his 27 codefendants have already taken plea deals in the case. 

Gunna was released from Fulton County jail last month after striking a plea deal. Details of the plea have not been revealed. However, the Internet was in a frenzy filling the “Pushin P” rapper’s release. Brooklyn rapper Uncle Murda also dissed Gunna in his 2022 End of Year “Rap Up.”

”Young Thug and Gunna got with the RICO, they using rap lyrics against them and that shit is illegal / They let Gunna go, we tryna figure out how that happened / He took a plea deal, Lil Boosie said that n-gga ratting / Gunna pushing pleas, Young Thug still stuck in jail / N-ggas saying Gunna knew names and ‘I’m gonna tell,” he rapped. 

Just days ahead of the highly publicized trial, Thug’s father urged his son to reject a plea deal if offered. “My son is not guilty of a lot of things that these people probably sayin’ about him,” Jeffrey Williams Sr. shared in an interview. 

“As a father, if they came to him with a plea deal and he left it up to me to give him the advice. I would tell him, ‘No.’” Check out HNHH for the latest hip hop updates. 

Bryan Kohberger Pulled Over Twice Shortly Before Arrest

by

If all goes as planned, 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger will be extradited back to Idaho in the near future. The Ph.D. student, accused of killing four University Idaho Students near the end of 2022, is unlikely to fight the process, according to his attorney.

Additionally, extradition lawyer James LaBar tells the media that his client was pulled over twice before his actual arrest last Friday (December 30). During a chat with NBC, he explained that the incidents happened during a road trip with his father. They were travelling from Seattle to Pennsylvania over the holidays.

Both traffic stops were in the state of Indiana, though LaBar is unsure if they were given any tickets. “I just know they were pulled over in Indiana almost back to back. I believe once for speeding and once for following too closely to a car in front of them.”

Kohberger has reportedly been getting updates about the allegations brought against him. At this time, it seems his plan remains to waive his extradition rights, and plead not guilty.

While the criminology student maintains his innocence, Moscow Police Chief James Fry is confident they’ve found the killer. During a press conference last week, he gave as many answers as possible. However, it was frequently noted that many details must remain under wraps due to legal logistics.

He was able to verify is that Kohberger likely acted alone during the slayings. Also, the murder weapon has not yet been found. At this time, Fry believes the community of Moscow is safe, though he encourages residents to remain vigilant.

The alleged killer’s extradition hearing is scheduled for this week. Once he’s been securely returned to Idaho, authorities will share information such as the tips that led them to follow Kohberger, as well as any prior relationship he had with his victims.

Blueface’s Baltimore Blowout Leaves Man Unconscious On NYE: Video

by

For the most part, headlines regarding Blueface and Chrisean Rock have been regarding their Crazy In Love reality series as of late. However, it seems as though things once again got out of hand for the couple in real time on New Year’s Eve. As they were attending an event at a Baltimore club, the “Thotiana” rapper surprisingly got into a physical altercation with some other men in the streets.

Video footage of the incident has concurrently been making rounds online. Though some first thought that it was the California native being taken down, it was actually him who did the knocking out.

As AllHipHop notes, the fight took place across several city blocks. Two armed officers were unable to stop the chaos due to the crowd size. It specifically included dozens of men and women, including one apparently in her underwear.

When things wrapped up, an unknown male in a yellow shirt was knocked out cold on the ground. Blueface later posted a screenshot of the aftermath on his Instagram Story, writing, “He was sleepy [yawning emoji].”

At this time, the reason for the altercation remains unknown. However, some social media users have been speculating that it had to do with Chrisean’s family.

“Blueface got into an altercation last night outside a local club in Baltimore,” one Twitter user reports. “He and Chrisean Rock [were there] for New Year’s Eve. The fight apparently broke out when Blue ran into some men who are associated with Chrisean’s father, who he fought in September of last year.”

As you may recall, the fight between the 25-year-old and his partner’s dad was previously captured on camera for their reality show. Across the first two episodes, we saw Blue get hit, and later, get his lick back on the older man.

Additionally, others pointed out that fighting so publicly isn’t a great idea in the midst of his attempted murder allegations from late last year.

by

Logic previously became a first-time father in 2020. Since then, he’s unretired from rap with a 30-track album called Vinyl Days, and subsequently ended his relationship with Def Jam in favour of a deal with BMG. As he embarks upon 2023, the “I’m Gone” hitmaker has plenty to look forward to – including a new baby.

As Uproxx reports, the rapper’s wife announced via social media on Sunday (January 1) that they’re expecting again. “Baby Hall #2 coming 2023,” she wrote in the caption of a video that shows her getting an ultrasound.

Over the footage, Logic raps, “It’s a good day. Had a lot of bad ones this year, but today’s a good day.”

At this time, the baby’s gender or exact due date remains unknown. However, Brittney Noell did let us know that she and her husband have been hard at work on another project.

“I’m so excited to announce that I’ve partnered with my husband @logic and my awesome partners and friends @laurenbreiding, and @daniee.latham on our very own kids clothing line called Sweet Cream,” she additionally told followers on Sunday.

Kevin & Dreka Gates Celebrate NYE Together Following Breakup Rumours

by

While breakups aren’t all that uncommon in the world of hip-hop, some hurt far more than others. For instance, seeing Blueface and Chrisean Rock declare themselves as single over and over again is much less painful than watching the demise of Kevin and Dreka Gates.

In the summer, the married couple surprisingly seemed to be going their separate ways. For his part, the rapper addressed all the drama in his “Super General Freestyle.” Throughout his lyrics, he raps, “Took the blame in interviews and made it look like I was trippin’ / Made the ‘Dreka’ song, lied to the world while trying to protect her image.”

After the song was released, listeners were waiting for a reaction from Kevin’s wife, though they never really got one. Rather, she used her social media account to show the world that she’s been in rest and relaxation mode. At the time, videos of her taking a luxurious bath as well as tending to her garden appeared on her Story.

Though the “2 Phones” hitmaker began sparking relationship rumours with Jojo Zarur in the summer, he and Dreka appear to have made up just as quickly as they allegedly ended.

At the end of June, cameras previously caught them hugging at an autograph signing, their two children in tow.

The next month, Dreka let the world know what she’s been streaming her partner’s Khaza project, even if it includes a diss aimed at her. Specifically, her favourite title seems to be “Scars,” though that may have changed in recent months.

Things have been relatively quiet between the Gates’ since the summer, though they stepped out on New Year’s Eve to celebrate. In videos posted to @theshaderoom, the pair obviously smiles ear to ear as they dance and sing the night away together.

“Now y’all should’ve known Kevin Gates wasn’t giving Dreka up,” one social media user concurrently wrote after seeing the clip.

Another person later chimed in with, “I can’t even judge Dreka and Kevin. I understand, I’ve been there too.” Additionally, someone else called out the mother of two for reuniting with her man.

“Dreka wild as hell back vibing w Kevin Gates. Girl the amount of times he has asked God to kill y’all kids to make [people] think he telling the truth is just crazy,” they comparatively pointed out.

Check out more Twitter reactions to the undeniably heartwarming NYE video below. Afterward, tell us if you think Kevin and Dreka Gates are endgame in the comment section.

Gangsta Boo’s Cause Of Death Believed To Be Drug Overdose: Report

by

Another industry veteran gone too soon. Though she made it to 2023, Three 6 Mafia rapper Gangsta Boo tragically lost her life on the first day of the year. Reports came out on Sunday (January 1) evening, revealing that the 43-year-old is no longer with us. Her cause of death was not known at the time.

AllHipHop reports that the recording artist died after attending a concert in her hometown of Memphis, Tennesee. Her body was found on her front porch around 4 PM local time. Her past struggles with substance abuse are seemingly a part of her demise.

Sources close to Gangsta Boo say they believe she died from a drug overdose. An update from TMZ offers much of the same information. Specifically, they note that “a fentanyl-laced substance is believed to be at play.”

The night before she died, the industry icon was celebrating New Year’s Eve with her brother. He was eventually taken to a hospital himself after overdosing but was able to recover. Later that night, the party went on at GB’s home.

Upon discovering her body, the finding of narcotics means an overdose is presently thought to be her cause of death. Still, the information can’t be confirmed until an autopsy is conducted.

“Victim information will be released once the victim has been identified and NOK [Next of Kin] notifications have been made. This is an ongoing investigation,” officer Theresa Carlson of the Memphis Police Department tells AllHipHop.

However, Gangsta Boo’s identity was previously confirmed by both Fox13 and DJ Paul, another Three 6 Mafia member. The former didn’t write any words in his tribute post – just an older photo of the late creative was enough to get the message across.

In the comment section, artists like Lil Jon, 2 Chainz, Duke Deuce, Ludacris, and Big Boi are in mourning. “Prayers to the whole fam, I’m so sorry for your loss,” one user wrote. “She was such a great and kind soul. GOD’S WARRIOR NOW.”

Check back with HNHH later for any updates on Gangsta Boo’s untimely death. RIP.

Bryan Kohberger’s Family Speaks Out Following Alleged Killers Arrest

by

There were several weeks without any updates in the gruesome University of Idaho murders last November. Now, information is once again coming en masse. Following the arrest of Bryan Kohberger on Friday (December 30), authorities have asked the public to continue sending in any information they may have about the suspect.

For the most part, many accounts from fellow students paint the accused killer as awkward but intense. He studied criminology at DeSales University and was working towards a Ph.D. in the same subject at Washington State University. The school is located just a few miles from Moscow, Idaho.

In response to the very public scrutiny of Kohberger, his family has sent out a press release. “First and foremost, we care deeply for the four families who have lost their precious children. There are no words that can adequately express the sadness we feel. We pray each day for them,” the statement obtained by TMZ reads.

“[We’ll] continue to let the legal process unfold and as a family we will love and support our son and brother. We have fully cooperated with law enforcement agencies in an attempt to seek the truth and promote his presumption of innocence rather than judge unknown facts and make erroneous assumptions.”

They add, “We respect privacy in this matter as our family and the families suffering loss can move forward through the legal process.”

During their initial press conference last week, Moscow Police were open with the public. They shared that it may take some time before all the facts in this case can become public knowledge.

Much of the investigation was kept under wraps. This allowed the FBI and local cops to operate under the radar and maintain integrity. Now, they’re waiting for Kohberger to be extradited from Pennsylvania, where he was arrested, back to Idaho. At that time, more information will come out.

This can sometimes be a lengthy process. However, the accused killer’s attorney tells TMZ that his client is unlikely to fight extradition. This means that he would return to Latah County within the coming days and enter a plea.

Jason LaBar also says that Kohberger has neither admitted nor denied his charges. However, his client does feel as though he’ll be exonerated, suggesting he believes he’s innocent.

Check back in with HNHH later for any updates on the investigation. RIP.

Anita Pointer Dead At 74, Grammy-Winning Singer’s Family & Fans Mourn

by

2021 previously ended on a sad note with the death of Hollywood icon Betty White. In 2022, we once again closed out the year by saying goodbye to another legend – Anita Pointer.

The recording artist was best known for her work alongside her three sisters, Ruth, Bonnie, and finally, June. Together they were chiefly known as the Pointer Sisters, and they crafted hit songs like “Jump (For My Love)” and “Fire.”

In 1975, they concurrently won a Grammy thanks to their work on “Fairytale.” The track came out on top in the Best Country Vocal Performance category, which has been markedly dominated by white acts, as BBC notes.

Their music style is specifically “a blend of funk, soul, and R&B.” The Pointer Sister’s debut eponymous album arrived in 1973, with “Yes We Can Can” firstly arising as a breakout hit.

Presently, Pointer’s cause of death remains unknown. Unfortunately, she’s not the first of her siblings to die – both Bonnie and June departed several years ago, leaving Ruth as the sole surviving member.

Additionally, the late singer was faced with the tragedy of her own daughter’s death. In 2003, her only child, Jada Pointer, consequently passed away at age 37 after battling cancer. She left behind a little girl, Roxie McKain Pointer. After that, Anita spent her life raising her granddaughter.

On the positive side, the famous family says that they’re “comforted in knowing she is now with her daughter Jada and her sisters June & Bonnie and at peace.”

“Heaven is a more loving beautiful place with Anita there,” they later added.

Check out more heartfelt tributes, as well as favourite performances below. RIP Anita Pointer.
