Jermaine Dupri’s Father Accuses Bow Wow Of Refusing “Scream Tour” Lawsuit

December 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Back in September, Jermaine Dupri’s father Michael Mauldin sued Bow Wow for allegedly using the trademarked name Scream Tour without permission. Mauldin would have needed to serve him a notice of the complaint within 90 days of filing, however, he claims that he’s been unable to do so. In court documents obtained by AllHipHop, he asks for an extension, accusing Bow Wow of refusing service of the complaint.

“The extension of time would aid in timely locating and serving defendant, who has been thus far unattainable since the initial filing of the complaint on September 21, 2023 due to the refusal of service by defendant’s counsel and the refusal of service at defendant’s address in Atlanta, Georgia,” the motioned, filed earlier this week reads. “The extension of time would also prevent further delay in the case by avoiding a dismissal without prejudice and subsequent refiling of the Complaint. The proposed extension of time to serve the Defendant would extend the current deadline from December 20, 2023 to March 19, 2024.”

While only time will tell what ends up happening with his trademark infringement lawsuit, Bow Wow has certainly kept busy in other areas of his life. For instance, he took to social media in October to share his thoughts on the current state of the music industry. According to him, music coming out these days is “trash.”

“All of this sh*t trash,” he told fans on Instagram Live. “All they have to do is get out of their bed and get on their laptop. It’s easy because of the internet, they utilize the internet. Sh*t takes work.” What do you think of this latest development in the legal battle between Bow Wow and Jermain Dupri’s father?

Keke Palmer’s Ex Darius Jackson Accuses Her Of Domestic Violence

December 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

According to new court documents obtained by RadarOnline, the father of Keke Palmer’s child, Darius Jackson, has accused the performer of abuse. Reportedly, he filed a motion today (December 15) alleging that she physically assaulted him on various instances. He accuses her of “violently” gripping his arm, punching him in the face at a birthday party, and more.

On top of his allegations of physical abuse, he also claims that Palmer has hurled insults at him on multiple occasions, calling him a “loser,” “punk,” “b*tch,” and more. Jackson additionally alleges that Palmer once called him 200 times and sent him 50 emails after a spat, when he told her he wouldn’t be staying with her overnight. He provided text messages in attempts to back up his claims, which appear to show Palmer admitting that she felt “ashamed” of the way she had treated him during a disagreement.

“I’m sorry for hitting you,” Palmer allegedly wrote. “I’m sorry for being afraid to lose you and that turning into me acting out of fear and desperation. That was not the best me that you received and I’m sorry for that.” In a subsequent message, she seemingly advised him to pray about the situation. “I am mad at the situation, I’m mad at myself … I’m deeply affected and afraid because it’s such a deep heaviness that I don’t want to feel anymore. It’s not your fault nor your job to alleviate it from me,” she also added, per the outlet. “I honestly need you to pray on it.”

Jackson is also pushing for Palmer’s restraining order against him to be dropped. The news comes after Palmer accused Jackson of physical and emotional abuse in November, filing for a restraining order and custody of their son, Leodis.

YNW Melly’s Lead Attorney Motions For Mistrial

June 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

On the fourth day of YNW Melly’s double murder trial, his case took an interesting and possibly foreboding turn. Moreover, correspondent Bryson “Boom” Paul reported via Twitter that the rapper’s lead attorney, David A. Howard, requested a mistrial in the case. It’s unclear, at least based on Paul’s initial report, what the motive behind the motion was. Other reports suggest that the mistrial was suggested by the defense after the state brought in evidence that caused too much prejudice in the trial. For those unaware, this refers to evidence that does not further the facts of the case, but rather creates a bias in favor of or in this case against the defendant.

In any case, it seems like the involvement of family members, ex-girlfriends, leaked DMs, and more have cause the jury to become too tainted in the defense’s eyes. Furthermore, Paul reported that Judge Murphy III took the motion for a mistrial under advisement. The court will discuss on Tuesday, June 20 once trial resumes. Until that day comes, this is the last we will hear of YNW Melly’s case in the courtroom.

Regardless, debate erupted online as to whether this motion actually means that the Gifford native will walk. Many on Twitter pointed out that it is up to the judge to determine whether a mistrial is in order. As such, celebrations of the request from the “Mixed Personalities” MC’s supporters are moot until it’s approved. Others claimed that if the court deems a case a mistrial on prejudice, then the defendant cannot be tried again. However, this seems to be mostly speculative and largely unconfirmed by the courts, reporters, or other trusted sources. In most cases, an approved mistrial still allows the defendant to be tried again.

In addition, the court’s decision will paint what this mistrial represents: an effort to preserve justice or to dismiss relevant evidence. While it for now seems to fall under the former category, no one can truly know for sure. This is also another potential victory after the court sided with the 24-year-old by not allowing other evidence to be presented based on prejudice.
