Lil Durk Reportedly Booked Into Miami Prison As He Awaits Transport To LA

October 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Lil Durk was arrested in Florida and hit with an alleged murder-for-hire charge. Yesterday, it was reported that the rapper had been transferred out of Broward County Jail and was most likely headed to Los Angeles. Now, according to DJ Akademiks, he’s been booked into a Miami prison. Reportedly, he’s waived his right to an identity hearing and is waiting for U.S. Marshals to transport him to California.

The news arrives as more details of Durk’s arrest are surfacing online. According to Associated Press, for example, authorities believe he allegedly booked flights from Florida to Switzerland, Dubai, and Italy in attempts to flee the country. Obviously, he didn’t board any of these flights ahead of his arrest.

Lil Durk’s arrest took place hours after five alleged OTF affiliates were arrested and hit with similar charges. Law enforcement thinks they were allegedly hired to carry out the murder of Quando Rondo in retaliation for King Von’s death. In 2022, Rondo and his cousin Lul Pab were in a vehicle that was shot up at an LA gas station. Rondo survived while Lul Pab passed away.

Reportedly, Durk could face the death penalty or life imprisonment if he’s found guilty. Of course, Durk’s arrest has prompted big reactions from countless social media users and peers. The attorneys representing the late FBG Duck’s estate even released a statement about the indictment yesterday. They alleged that Durk’s arrest has brought them “one step closer to justice.” Earlier this month, FBG Duck’s mother LaSheena Weekly sued Lil Durk, OTF, the city of Chicago, and various other record labels for alleged wrongful death, civil conspiracy, negligence, and failure to render aid. What do you think of Lil Durk reportedly being booked into a Miami prison and awaiting transport to LA?

6ix9ine Gets Involved In Tense Confrontation In Miami: Watch

September 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

6ix9ine has been making plenty of headlines lately. The performer had been spending most of his time in the Dominican Republic until June of this year. He’s back in the United States now, and unfortunately, it hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing. Recently, for example, 6ix9ine found himself at the center of a heated confrontation outside a Miami nightclub. In a clip shared by TMZ, he’s seen being held back by his entourage as he’s approached multiple times. Eventually, things moved to the street before he was ushered back to his car.

At the time of writing, it remains unclear exactly what prompted the incident. The outlet reports that according to onlookers, he had been inside partying with various women when some men allegedly tried to pick a fight. Luckily, it appears as though nobody was seriously injured, and Miami police told TMZ there were no arrests made.

6ix9ine’s Miami Nightclub Visit Gets Heated

While it doesn’t look like 6ix9ine is facing any trouble with the law related to this latest scuffle, he was recently hit with a new lawsuit from his ex, Yailín La Más Viral. The singer accused him of assault, abuse, revenge porn, and more earlier this month. She’s seeking over $1 million in damages. He denies these allegations and in response, recalled the times he assisted her financially in a chat with TMZ.

“All that jewelry is mine … that car she’s riding in I bought … the penthouse shoe [sic] got in the Dominican Republic I bought … I took care of her family, daughter — when I met her she had 2 month old baby — I put pampers and food on the table for them,” he told the outlet at the time. What do you think of 6ix9ine getting involved in a heated exchange outside of a nightclub recently? Are you surprised or not?

September 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A video of Drake going out for dinner in Miami is circulating on social media, as he’s been feuding with Rick Ross in recent months. DJ Akademiks posted the clip on Instagram while claiming that his haters said he couldn’t set foot in Ross’ hometown.

In the comments section of Akademiks’ post, fans had mixed responses with many suggesting the narrative is completely fabricated. “Literally nobody said Drake couldn’t go to Miami?” one user wrote. Another added similarly: “Nobody cares about where Aubrey goes. His career is suffering enough.” One more noted: “Y’all must didn’t hear what unk luke said? They be in SOUTH BEACH that’s not the real Miami.”

Drake’s appearance in Miami comes after Ross spoke at length about his decision to feud with the Toronto rapper during an interview on Nightcap Summer Sessions. “I’mma be honest: On some rap sh–, it was no conspiracies,” he said. “Rozay name was said… I’mma jump off the porch. That’s what I do. I’mma jump off the porch and I’mma have some fun and that’s what I did. I had some fun.” When asked how he decides who he responds to and who he lets slide, Ross added: “Is it something to gain for you? Somebody wake up and hate on Shay Shay, hate on Ocho, I mean… Let’s sit back, because not responding is a response when you a boss.”

Travis Scott Officially Cleared From Miami Case As Authorities Drop Trespassing Charge

August 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott no longer has to worry about his case stemming from a Miami arrest, as all charges are now officially off the table according to a new TMZ report published Friday (August 30). Moreover, for those unaware, authorities arrested him back in June on charges of disorderly conduct and trespassing. La Flame’s legal team, including attorney Bradford Cohen, previously filed a motion to dismiss the trespassing charges after the court already dismissed the disorderly conduct ones. According to this new report, a source reportedly close to the prosecutor’s office explained to the outlet that the lack of clear “no trespassing” signs put him in the clear.

“After arguing the motion to dismiss and the state realizing that there was no path to maintaining the charge, they decided to drop the case in its entirety,” Travis Scott’s lawyer reportedly told TMZ Hip Hop. “Although not a serious charge, and one that should not have been filed, we are pleased with the result.” This yachy incident in Miami back in June also accused him of disorderly conduct, and those charges were already previously dismissed before this recent update.

In other Travis Scott news, his role in the great rap war of 2024 is more under scrutiny than ever, but this might all be an overreaction. For example, you probably already heard that Drake launched his “100 GIGS” website and @plotttwistttttt IG burner to share loads of loosies and previously unreleased content. One of his recent drops was a video of the “SICKO MODE” duo partying together to one of their collaborations at a party. Some fans still think that they have newfound beef with each other, but this feels more like an unsubstantiated misinterpretation with each passing day.

Meanwhile, Travis Scott fed fans in quite the satisfying manner with his Days Before Rodeo reissues. The mixtape’s emergence on streaming services paired with digital deluxe editions that shared even more deep cuts with die-hards. We’ll see if this is his last big move of the year or if there’s still more on the way for 2024. Either way, you won’t find us complaining.

Frank Ocean Producer Reveals He’s Working On New Music In Miami

July 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Is there a more enigmatic man in music than Frank Ocean? It’s rhetorical. No, there isn’t. The R&B icon has continued to defy expectations in ways both impressive and frustrating. He’s kept a low profile since his disastrous Coachella performance in 2023. No new music has materialized since, with many fearing that a long-awaited third album will never come. Well, there’s some good news on the horizon. According to Michael Uzowuru, Ocean’s longtime collaborator, the singer is in fact working on another album.

Uzowuru was recently profiled by the New York Times. His resume is staggering, as he’s worked with the likes of Solange, Kevin Abstract, Beyonce and Vince Staples just to name a few. That being said, his most lauded work may be with Frank Ocean. The two men worked closely on the joint 2016 releases Endless and Blonde. Michael Uzowuru served as a co-writer and producer on several tracks across the albums. If anybody knows anything about new Frank Ocean music, it’s him. And he blessed fans with some exciting info regarding the next album.

Frank Ocean’s Next Album Is Inspired By Dance Music

Michael Uzowuru, who also has solo music, did not provide any concrete details. In fact, he isn’t quoted as saying Ocean’s name specifically. The New York Times does note, however, that Uzowuru is working on new music with Ocean as we speak. Both artists are holed up in Miami. That’s all we get. It isn’t much, but it’s the most we’ve gotten since the aforementioned debacle at Coachella. If Frank Ocean’s previous statements are to be trusted, than the music he’s making in Miami is influenced by house.

During a 2019 profile with W Magazine, Frank Ocean shed light on his musical obsessions. He told the outlet that he’d been inspired by time spend in nightclubs. “I’ve been interested in club, and the many different iterations of nightlife for music and songs,” he explained. “And so the things I look at now have a lot to do with those scenes: Detroit, Chicago, techno, house, French electronic.” Electronic influence can be heard on the latest batch of Frank Ocean singles. By latest, of course, we mean “In My Room” and “DHL” from 2019. Hopefully Michael Uzowuru’s update leads to something concrete. The producer’s signature sound, meanwhile, can be heard on the recent Donald Glover show Swarm.

Irv Gotti Sued For Alleged Multiple Accounts Of Sexual Assault On The Same Woman

July 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Outsiders and fans of artists on the Murder Inc. Records label have been suspicious of Irv Gotti for quite some time. Part of their skepticism comes from his uncomfortable past comments about one of his biggest signees, Ashanti. On numerous occasions, the record producer claimed to have been in romantic relationship with the R&B star. However, she put those comments to bed in a past interview. “Let’s clear this up. We’re not gonna say relationship. We dealt with each other, but was Irv my boyfriend? Was I his girlfriend? Never…Irv had several girlfriends, so I’m a little confused by the label and the description”. Now, you could call these fortune tellers truth tellers after Irv Gotti’s recent sexual assault accusations.

According to a report from Miami New Times, the controversial label head is being sued by a woman who is being referred to as, Jane Doe. She filed the lawsuit in Miami-Dade County on July 11 and according to the documents, Doe claims that there were three separate times in which these assaults occurred. They allegedly took place from 2020 to 2022 in Miami, Atlanta, and Saint Martin. In one portion of the lawsuit, it says that this has continued to affect Doe even until now.

Fans Are Not Too Shocked About Irv Gotti’s Sexual Assault Allegations

I’LL SAY IT: Ashanti was like 20 & Irv Gotti was 10 years older, in control of her career with power dynamics; it’s giving he preyed on her.

It’s creepy & some would say sexual assault, cause no consent. What if she felt she had to be with him for her career? #MurderIncStoryBET pic.twitter.com/F8VsPv09N8

— Jerome Trammel, M.B.A (@MrJeromeTrammel) August 24, 2022

“As a result of this sexually abusive relationship, Plaintiff has suffered severe emotional and psychological harm for which she had to be committed to a psychiatric ward. These injuries continue and affect Plaintiff to this day.” This woman states that her and Irv Gotti met through a mutual friend at a poker tournament in the summer of 2020. That is when he invited on a trip to Saint Martin where he eventually tried to force her to have sex. Apparently, if Doe did not comply, Gotti was going to send her on her way. That appears to be when they began their two-year relationship. In the suit, she says she only stayed “due to his power and influence in the music world”.

As for the Miami assault, Irv Gotti attempted to convince the woman to give him oral sex in a Four Seasons hotel elevator. Then, in Atlanta, Gotti forced her to perform the same act in the back of an Uber after flying her out. That allegedly was the final straw for Doe, and she wound up breaking things off and since then, she claims that Gotti has been attacking her on his “vast social network in and around Los Angeles,”. So far Gotti does not have an attorney, nor has he commented on any of these allegations. For now, keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Irv Gotti and this developing story. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Yung Miami Promises “Caresha Please” Comeback & Speaks On Her Solo Music

July 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yung Miami has a lot on her plate right now, and she spoke about her next moves with Carl Lamarre of Billboard at the 2024 BET Awards last night (Sunday, June 30). Moreover, they broke the ice by talking about their favorite Usher song and remarking on how she’s sometimes in her R&B bag as an artist. But speaking of that, the former City Girl also had some words about the solo music that she’s working on now that the duo is no more. “Oh, Yung Miami ain’t never left, babe,” she remarked. “But… This new era that I’m stepping into, this new music that I’m working on, it’s gon’ show that growth and that improvement. And it’s gon’ show that that’s why I’m Yung Miami, that’s why I’m Caresha.”

In addition, Yung Miami also promised that her podcast Caresha Please is coming back soon, which should be very exciting for fans to hear. On it, she’s opened up diverse conversations about relationships, the music industry, the entertainment business, and a whole lot more. Caresha has quite the media empire with her brand ventures as well, and seeing them all develop in real time reinforces the others. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for this solo music to drop.

In other City Girls news, JT recently suggested a possible explanation as to why she and Yung Miami chose to part ways as a hip-hop duo. “I did not want that to happen…” she told Keke Palmer. “When you get to the point of ego… it gets there. You forget to express yourself in a private setting, or you forget to talk like adults. It happened and it was stupid, and it’s done. It’s over with and now it’s funny to both of us. It’s hilarious to both of us. Now, it’s just a funny thing in time to us.”

Meanwhile, Playboi Carti recently seemed to shoot his shot with Yung Miami. Like most things related to Carti, his post featuring a picture of her didn’t come with much of an explanation or prelude. But it was still curious for fans to witness, so we’ll see if anything comes of that. For now, she remains focused on improving her craft and giving fans the material that they’ve wanted for so long.
