Less than a week after YNW Melly’s lawyer made headlines during his double murder trial for her “Evil Plans and Stuff” notebook, but now her mugshot has gone viral during the highly publicized, media crazed case.

Raven Liberty, the attorney for Jamell Demons aka YNW Melly in his livestreamed, double homicide trial, has her own mugshot circulating around the internet from a 2022 arrest in Miami for battery. Liberty, 48, was ordered to pay $1500 in that case to have all charges dropped.

Liberty is also known for helping Kodak Black in several of his legal battles, including the 2021 assault and battery case, where Black received 18 months in that case, but violated probation and received 46 months before being granted clemency by President Trump in 2022.

Rot Ken Arrested On Murder & Aggravated Assault Charges In Connection With April Shooting

by

While all the new music that’s been dropping certainly has our attention, what’s really been taking over the world of rap news lately is a serious crime spree. Both the YSL RICO and YNW Melly’s double murder trials are currently unfolding, and Tory Lanez is still awaiting sentencing after he was jailed for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in late 2022. In addition to those, we saw Boosie Badazz get picked up by federal agents earlier this week. Now, Blanco Tarantino TV reports that 19-year-old rapper Rot Ken has also been taken into custody.

The up-and-coming Atlanta artist – born Kenneth Williams – is facing charges of murder and aggravated assault. Allegations against him stem from a shooting on April 26, ultimately resulting in the death of 24-year-old Usaini Yunusa. 20-year-old Kobe Burns was injured at the time too but thankfully managed to recover. Police reports reveal that the gunfire took place around 6 PM at The Estates at Perimeter on St. Andrews Drive. The accused killers are said to have taken aim at the victims in their vehicle from another car.

Rot Ken’s Mugshot Surfaces Online

Burns, who was allegedly intoxicated when the shooting started, quickly fled the scene. Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before he crashed into trees near Interstate Parkway and was later transported to the hospital. There is apparently another suspect connected to the case alongside Ken, though their identity hasn’t been released at this time. Information remains mostly sparse at this time. However, it has been noted that the late Yunusa previously served prison time in Cobb County for weapons-related offences, drug dealing, and gang activity.

As for Rot Ken, he was served his murder warrant while already behind bars for an offence related to his probation. His past criminal record contains convictions including possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, burglary, an theft by receiving stolen property. Elsewhere in the realm of crime and hip-hop, a Memphis man named CEO Teezy was killed earlier this month. His unexpected death came shortly after he was publicly named a person of interest in Young Dolph’s murder, which still remains unsolved by authorities.

JT Puts Her Mugshots On A Hoodie: Photos

by

It’s City Girls season. It’s been a minute since the Florida-based duo shared new music, though they’ve previously promised that more heat will be on the way this summer. During their set at Rolling Loud California, they teased a single called “Piñata.” Now that Yung Miami has confirmed her split from Diddy, we’re sure that even more fire bars are on the way from our favourite female partners in rhyme. Aside from fans begging JT and Caresha to drop something, they’ve also had plenty to say about their style as of late – particularly the formers.

Not only was the “Ex For A Reason” collaborator recently compared to the Bride of Chucky for leaning into a more gothic look, but now she’s also facing criticism for wearing her mugshots on a hoodie. In a photo reposted on @theshaderoom, JT wears a dark sweater with at least eight photos of her in jail plastered across the front. Many of them see her smirking for the camera, while others – notably as she got older – look far more serious.

JT Isn’t Ashamed of Her Past

As many are noting in the comments, the 30-year-old looks notably different in the mugshots compared to now. Obviously, age is a factor, but she’s also undergone some plastic surgery since coming up to alter her appearance. “Got the nerve to call somebody’s baby ugly,” one user wrote, referencing a spat from earlier this weekend during which JT shaded Finesse2tymes and an infant online. “Remember, you’re not ugly. Just broke,” another person quipped, reflecting on the starlet’s glow-up.

“I wonder how old she was in #3?” someone else asked. “She looks about 13-14 in that one,” they pointed out. While the City Girl has spoken candidly about her past scamming antics and the broken home she grew up in, she’s proudly since turned her life around. She recently revealed her plans to start therapy and has never held back when defending those that she loves from critics and trolls. Keep scrolling to read more social media reactions to JT’s new hoodie. Afterward, tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Plies Reacts To Donald Trump’s Indictment: “I Know The Feeling”

by

Plies reacted to Donald Trump’s arraignment on Twitter, Tuesday, as the former President appeared in court in Manhattan. During his unprecedented court appearance, Trump pled not guilty to 34 felony charges of falsifying business records. The charges come in connection to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.

“I Know The Feeling My Boy!!!” Plies wrote while sharing a picture of Trump in court. The rapper then complained that Trump won’t have his mugshot taken for the arrest. “Is There Anybody U Know Ever Been Charged With 34 Felonies & The System Said: “When U Turn Yourself In We Good On The Mugshot U Ain’t Gotta Take It”???” he asked. Plies wasn’t the only one with this question. Boosie also complained about the lack of a Trump mug shot.

Despite not getting a mugshot, the Trump campaign is selling t-shirts with fake mugshots on them. They feature the phrase “NOT GUILTY” below it. The shirt is free with a $47 contribution to the campaign and also available individually for $36 from Trump’s campaign merchandise store. Trump is currently campaigning for the 2024 election.

After his appearance in court on Tuesday, Trump returned to his home at Mar-a-Lago, where he delivered his first speech since the indictment. “They can’t beat us at the ballot box, so they try to beat us through the law,” Trump said. From there, he added: “The only crime that I’ve committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. The criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information, for which he should be prosecuted — or at a minimum, he should resign.”

Boosie Badazz Wonders How Trump Avoided Getting His Mugshot Taken

by

Trump turned himself in to authorities on Tuesday on charges related to business fraud. However, his fans and detractors aren’t necessarily happy that he managed to bypass getting his mugshot taken, largely because they’ve been stripped of an inevitably hilarious moment. Boosie Badazz, specifically, shared his commentary on the arrest. Though praising Trump’s attorneys, he also felt like celebrities should receive similar treatment. “I WONDER WHAT @realDonaldTrump  ATTORNEYS FILED SO HE DIDNT HAVE TO GET HIS MUGSHOT TAKEN? #smartmove BUT THIS HAS TO GO FOR ALL CELEBRITIES RIGHT? MUGSHOTS CAN DAMAGE SOMEONES BRAND,” he tweeted.

Boosie does have a point. Anytime a celebrity takes a mugshot, it ends up circulating faster than lightning. However, Trump is the former president, so there is undoubtedly some sort of exceptions made. New York prohibits law enforcement from publicly releasing mug shots. Still, the former deputy commissioner of the NYPD said it was rather unusual for anyone to be exempt from getting their mugshot taken, per CBS. “In fact, you might be hard pressed to find a past case like this in Manhattan,” Richard Esposito said. 

Why Didn’t Trump Get His Mugshot Taken?

At this point, it remains unclear exactly why Trump didn’t get a mugshot taken. However, one of the theories is that people felt like this could give ammunition to Trump and his opponents during the election. Alina Habba, Trump’s attorney who is representing him in other legal issues, explained that “he’s the most recognized face in the world right now” so he didn’t require a mugshot. She added, “Mug shots are for people so that you recognize who they are.”

With or without a mugshot, Trump has already launched a merch line after a grand jury indicted him on 34 counts, to which he pleaded not guilty to. The former president began selling a T-shirt that features a black-and-white faux mugshot of Trump with “NOT GUILTY” written underneath. We could imagine that he would’ve used his actual mugshot if one had been taken as a way to control the narrative. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates surrounding Donald Trump’s indictment. Do you agree with Boosie’s statements? Let us know in the comments below.

Tory Lanez Cracks A Smile In New Alleged Mugshot

by

Despite his father calling his conviction “the worst miscarriage of justice this world has ever seen,” Tory Lanez appears to be in good spirits. At least, based on his latest alleged mugshot.

The Canadian rapper’s alleged booking photo hit the web last night and it certainly caught people’s attention. The rapper dons a pink shirt on top of a white turtleneck. Beyond his attire, it was his facial expression that caught people off-guard. Tory is smirking with his teeth showing for the camera. Given that he’s facing a maximum sentence of 22 years behind bars, some were surprised to see him grinning.

The battle doesn’t seem over for Tory, though. The rapper hired a new attorney, David Kenner, who famously defended Snoop Dogg during his 1993 trial. Kenner also represented Suge Knight in the 90s during a robbery trial in which the former Death Row CEO received probation.

This week, Kenner appeared in court where he successfully pushed back Tory Lanez’s sentencing by a month. Kenner told the judge that he was gathering the transcripts from last month’s trial in order to file a motion for a new trial.

Following a contentious trial, a jury found Tory Lanez guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. The rapper was convicted of three counts: assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.

Meg’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, commented after the jury read out the verdict in court. “The jury got it right,” Spiro said. “I am thankful there is justice for Meg.”

While Tory Lanez and his new defense team, which includes former Death Row lawyer David Kenner, organizes their strategy going into the appellate phase of his conviction, a mugshot from his re-arrest has now surfaced and has more than a few people wondering what’s going to happen next in the saga of the Megan Thee Stallion shooting.

The smile on Lanez’s face has some believing that he may have some inclination as to what’s next to happen in his case. An appeal of his conviction could mean a new trial for the Canadian native, but for now, he’s currently behind bars awaiting sentencing.

While critics IG complimented Tory on his fresh new cut, others said he looks like he knows that he’ll be getting out soon. Either way, the “Why Did I” rapper appears to be in great spirits considering the circumstances.

After his arrest yesterday on RICO, murder and other gang-related charges, Young Thug’s mugshot has surfaced online. The arrest and indictment allegedly stem from as far back as 2013 and as recent as 2018.

As reported, Young Thug and Gunna were both arrested and taken into custody at the Fulton County Jail on RICO charges, including murder, racketeering, armed robbery and participation in street gang activity.
