Cardi B Says Everyone Owes PnB Rock’s GF An Apology After New Details EmergeFr

by

As Hip Hop reels from the loss of PnB Rock, there have been several updates this morning (September 28) about his murder case. We previously reported that the authorities have zeroed in on several suspects, two of which has already been taken into custody. The other has been named as Freddie Lee Trone, a man that investigators have called “armed and dangerous.”

As we await more information about the unfolding of this case, Cardi B has tuned in and is shedding light on people who attacked Rock’s girlfriend, Stephanie Sibounheuang.

Immediately after the news of PnB Rock’s callous murder was shared with the public, Sibounheuang found herself as prey for a vicious public. People blamed her for posting that she and the rapper were out at a restaurant, speculating that Sibounheuang was to blame for the assailants knowing where Rock was and targeting him in a robbery.

However, reports stated that a 17-year-old was named as the shooter and has been detained. He is reportedly the son of Freddie Lee Trone who has yet to be located, and it has been said Trone was the getaway driver. TMZ stated that Shauntel Trone, the stepmother to the teen, has also been arrested on suspicion of accessory to murder. The suspects allegedly burned their vehicle following the incident.

Additionally, the outlet claimed that their sources revealed Trone and his son were allegedly already in the parking lot of Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles when PnB Rock arrived. If true, that would mean social media was not a factor in the rapper’s death.

In the wake of this update, Cardi B believes that there are several people who owe Rock’s girlfriend an apology for adding to her grief.

“Told y’all……Yall must not know how the hood moves,” Cardi wrote. “Y’all owe that girl a apology for the sh*t y’all put her through knowing that she saw her baby dad die in her face….Social media investigators YALL SUCK!!!!”

We will keep you updated as this case progresses.

Ludacris’ Manager Chaka Zulu Charged With Murder For June Shooting

According to report from CNN, music exec and manager to rapper/actor Ludacris, Chaka Zulu, has been charged with murder in connection to a shooting in June at an Atlanta restaurant in which one person lost their life. Even though the co-founder of Luda’s Disturbing Tha Peace imprint is claiming self-defense, Atlanta Police have charged Zulu with murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and simple battery.

On Tuesday, Zulu surrendered and was booked into the Fulton County Jail. He was released the same day on $200,000 bond, according to jail records. He has been the only one charged in the crime since the shooting.

Zulu, whose given name is Ahmed Obafemi, was one of three people found by police with gunshot wounds in the parking lot of a Buckhead shopping center on Peachtree Road. One of the other men, 23-year-old Artez Jamil Benton, died from his injuries. Benton is described as a hard working young man, graduating with honors from Druid Hills High School then attended Young Harris College, recruited as a baseball player, and also received a partial academic scholarship. Benton graduated last year with his business degree. Obafemi’s attorney, Gabe Banks, claims that Zulu only fired his weapon in self defense and if he did not defend himself, he may have been the one who lost his life that night.

Banks offered a full statement this morning (September 18) about the incident and charges brought against his client:

“Mr. Chaka Zulu, a beloved son of the City of Atlanta, is disappointed in the Atlanta Police Department’s decision to bring charges against him surrounding the shooting that occurred in June 2022. A close review of all the evidence, including the surveillance footage and eyewitness interviews, reveals that Mr. Zulu was attacked and jumped from behind by a gang of at least four individuals (sadly including the decedent) and was forced to defend himself after this gang repeatedly stomped, punched and kicked him while he was on the ground in a defenseless posture. Mr. Zulu was shot in the back during the shooting and nearly lost his life, and is still recovering from the nearly fatal injuries he sustained that evening. Mr. Zulu was at his place of business that might and had every reason to defend himself. In an attempt to save his life, Mr. Zulu lawfully discharged his weapon in self-defense, a weapon that he is licensed to carry. Mr. Zulu fully cooperated with law enforcement officials and their investigation, and voluntarily turned himself in once he teared of the arrest warrants. Mr. Zulu remains confident that his name will be cleared of all charges through the judicial process. It is not lost on Mr. Zulu that someone lost his life, but had Mr. Zulu not lawfully defended himself, Mr. Zulu would have been killed that night.”

Former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed served as a spokesman for the family after the shooting, while Zulu remained hospitalized.

“We are fortunate to report that Chaka Zulu is in stable condition and recovering,” Reed said. “The family thanks everyone for their well wishes and prayers, and asks for their privacy at this time.”

Last week, an Atlanta man was pulled over by deputies with the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office doing random registration checks and found out that the man driving had no insurance and his driver’s license was suspended.

The deputies told the man, who said his name was Rais Sekhem, that his South Carolina-issued license was suspended before he was arrested and charged with driving on suspended license, no insurance, and suspended registration.

After being fingerprinted, the man’s prints came up under the name Muhammed Bilal El-Amin, who is wanted for the 1994 murder of 18-year-old Jafferd Tucker at Atlanta’s Oakland City Train Station, who El-Amin allegedly shot in the face.

According to several confirmed reports, the Chicago Police Department have now added a third person to the list of murder victims who allegedly died at the hands of slain Chicago rapper Dayvon “King Von” Bennett.

Reports have confirmed that Von and his cohorts had beef with a local gang known as STL(abbreviated for St. Lawrence), to which Modell McCambry was connected and it is reported that Von fired the fatal shot that killed McCambry back in 2012. There have been several different accounts from eyewitnesses about who killed McCambry, but the Chicago Police Department have attributed his murder to King Von instead of the other suspect in the killing, T-Roy.

King Von and T. Roy were best friends and have both been murdered since the 2012 shooting. This case marks the second murder that’s been attributed to King Von’s name since his untimely death in November 2020.
