Tekashi 6ix9ine Allegedly Tested Positive For Meth Before His Latest Arrest

October 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tekashi 6ix9ine allegedly tested positive for methamphetamine twice in the last two weeks, prosecutor Jonathan Rebold alleged on Tuesday. The accusation came as 6ix9ine will spend at least the next two weeks behind bars after showing up an hour late to court on Tuesday morning. Manhattan federal Judge Paul Engelmayer made the decision after accusing him of having a “full spectrum disregard for the law.”

“I’m not a bad person,” Tekashi argued, noting that he’d just flown in from Miami to New York the night before. “I woke up late.” As for the meth, his lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, claimed there was a big misunderstanding and that his client actually takes Adderall. The popular prescription drug contains methamphetamine. The prosecution’s accusations didn’t end there; however, as they also alleged he took an unsanctioned trip to Las Vegas for a concert.

Engelmayer said that altogether, along with multiple arrests he’s had since getting out of prison, it represents a pattern of disrespect for the law. 6ix9ine recently found himself in legal trouble in the Dominican Republic, where authorities there arrested for him allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, Yailín la Más Viral, as well as two music producers. Additionally, police caught him allegedly driving 136 mph in a 65 mph zone in Florida.

6ix9ine got out of prison after giving key testimony in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods trial. He infamously accepted a plea deal that reduced his time behind bars to just two years in exchange for him snitching on several of his associates. In the time since, he’s continued releasing music, including his single from August, “Wassup.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Tekashi 6ix9ine on HotNewHipHop.

June 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Britney Spears’ ex-husband, Kevin Federline, has shot down a report from the Daily Mail that suggested the singer’s family is worried that she is on meth and could die of an overdose. The outlet claimed to have spoken with Federline, and her estranged father, Jamie Spears, about Britney’s situation during a recent interview.

“It saddens our family that Daphne Barak and Erbil Gunasti have decided to fabricate lies and publish the heartache our family has endured, along with the trauma of our minor children in the Daily Mail and The Sun,” Federline wrote in an Instagram Story statement, Sunday. “We did allow Daphne & Bill into our home because we trusted them, but that trust was lost and we severed ties back in March for many reasons we choose not to go into here. It is very distressing that she continues to harass our family when we have repeatedly asked her to leave us alone.”

As for the Daily Mail’s report, they quoted Federline as saying, “I fear she’s on meth. I’ve been praying someone would make it public and that she wakes up. It’s terrifying. She is the mother of my boys.” They also mentioned Jamie comparing Britney to Amy Winehouse, who died of alcohol poisoning at just 27 yards old in 2011 after battling with substance abuse.

“Every time the telephone rings, I fear that there will be devastating news,” they further quoted Federline as saying. “I don’t want the boys to wake up one morning and find their mother has taken an overdose.” Britney and Federline were married from 2004-2007. They share two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden.

Kevin Federline Responds On IG

The comments from Federline come as Spears celebrates her first wedding anniversary with her husband, Sam Asghari. The two tied the knot in the backyard of Britney’s home in Thousand Oaks, California on June 9, 2022.

Method Man Opens Up To Kevin Hart About Mental Health

May 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Method Man is speaking candidly about his struggles with mental health. In a recent episode of Kevin Hart’s podcast Comedy Gold Minds, Method Man spoke openly about his mental health. He also talked about how he has been able to improve his overall well-being through therapy. The rapper, who is a member of the Wu-Tang Clan, shared his personal experiences and the impact that seeking therapy has had on his life. “I was my own shadow, meaning I was in my own way,” the rapper said.

“I had to get out of my own way… saw that I could not control the people around me, but I could control myself. One thing that stood out for me, when I was younger – basically being a little dirty kid with nothing, no control over where I lived, what I ate, where I slept. But I had these sports – football and lacrosse – there I had control and I was good at it.” Method Man then went on to explain the importance of checking in with yourself. “I had to look myself in the mirror and say, ‘I’m tired of myself. I want better for me, I have more to contribute, and start there.’ Self-check, absolutely. If you don’t, sooner or later, somebody else is gonna check you.”

Method Man On Expanding Beyond Rap

Essence magazine featured Method Man on their cover in February 2022, where the rapper discussed how he has explored new avenues due to the changes in the hip hop industry. According to him, the so-called gatekeepers in the industry didn’t have much use for a 44-year-old rapper. His background turned some people off. He feels that some people aren’t willing to give you a chance, especially if you’ve already had one and you squandered it.

Method Man also acknowledged that there was a changing of the guard in hip-hop and that he was cool with it. This doesn’t mean he’s out of the rap game, but he’s pursuing other creative avenues. He made it clear that if evolving with the business meant acting, he was willing to put all of his effort into it.
