Nipsey Hussle Murder: Ex-LAPD Officer Suggests Police Ordered His Death

by

Bernard Robins, an ex-officer of the Los Angeles Police Department, suggested that the LAPD might have orchestrated the murder of Nipsey Hussle. The Crenshaw rapper’s passing struck the hip-hop community like an earthquake, and though his legacy endures, his loss is still painfully felt by millions. Readers may remember that the police department launched an internal investigation into the 33-year-old’s loss. However, Robins recently said during an appearance on the Comedy Hype podcast that he didn’t discard the possibility of police ordering his death. When the podcast host brought up the department’s other accusations of organized murder, the ex-cop expressed belief that they possibly took Nipsey out.

“I think that there could have been,” he stated. “I’ve never witnessed any law enforcement officers say that there was something going on or even eluded to it. But there’s that possibility. We know a lot of the positive things that he was doing in the community. So, there’s definitely that possibility that they were that determined to stop what he had going, that they probably could have sent [Eric Holder Jr.] to go and do that.

Ex-Officer Alleges That LAPD Ordered Murder Of Nipsey Hussle

“I think also that they said [Eric] was an informant for law enforcement. That was a part of the issue that he had with Nipsey Hussle allegedly so we don’t know. We don’t know what was going on behind those closed doors.” In addition, the LAPD denied reports from the Los Angeles Times that they were investigating Nipsey. Also, they reportedly targeted his businesses and movement in a secret operation. While this is a lot of speculative material, neither law enforcement nor state prosecutors explained how they came about in the first place. As such, many looked to these organizations with raised eyebrows.

Meanwhile, the rapper’s killer Eric Holder Jr. received a 60-year prison sentence this February. However, even with all these accusations and potential malpractices, Nipsey Hussle lives on in ways more important than any of that. For example, his brother Sam stated that Nip’s kids now own his Marathon clothing store. As such, he achieved the generational wealth he always wanted for his family. However, to seek true justice for his murder and to avoid further corruption, perhaps these rumors will result in a more thorough investigation into the LAPD’s handling of the case. Regardless, return to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nipsey Hussle and his everlasting legacy.

Rapper Woozy The Goat Accused Of Murdering His Grandparents In St. Louis

by

Authorities in St. Louis accused aspiring rapper Woozy The Goat murdering his grandparents after a potential mental breakdown. Moreover, a Friday (March 24) TMZ report indicates that the artist, real name Davionne McRoberts, went to a psych ward in Missouri earlier this week while covered in blood and confessed that he murdered Donald and Kathy McRoberts. Furthermore, police found the couple dead on Tuesday (March 21) and began a search for McRoberts. Not only that, but the report suggests that Woozy had a mental breakdown and shot his grandparents, yet police didn’t determine any other motives.

That being said, McRoberts posted some concerning messages to his Facebook page before the murders. This suggests that either he premeditated the killings or went through some sort of crisis before the incident. “WHO WANNA DIE TODAY? Y’all don’t believe me? Come show me I’m not god,” one message read. Another took an even stranger turn. “Hey I really am god truly everyone I’m trying to help you all but I came to terms y’all got too comfy in hell I’m not trying to take peoples money when I say donate to $WoozyTheGoat I’m trying to show y’all new life.”

St. Louis Rapper Woozy The Goat Accused Of Murdering Grandparents

Meanwhile, this echoes another gruesome story that took place in 2013, when a Chicago rapper put out a hit on his mother. However, that case seemed directly motivated by money. Moreover, a then-23-year-old Young QC, real name Qaw’mane Wilson, hired a hitman to attack his mother. Afterwards, he took all the money in her bank accounts and modified the Mustang that he received as a gift from her. In addition, he posted a YouTube video the same year of him withdrawing $20,000 from a Chase Bank and throwing it out to fans.

Wilson then got hit with a 99-year prison sentence, whereas the shooter Eugene Spencer received 100 years of jail time. According to reports, Wilson “merely nodded” as the judge read his sentence. Disturbingly, the now-33-year-old had some words to say about the incident. “I just want to say, nobody loved my mother more than me,” he reportedly expressed. “She was all I had. That’s it.” For the latest crime stories within the rap game, come back to HNHH.

Takeoff Shooting Detailed By Survivor, Sydney Leday: “I Remember Running Away”

by

It was a devastating loss when Takeoff was murdered last November. Since then, investigators have been piecing together what happened that fateful evening in a Houston bowling alley. Takeoff was with several others, including Quavo and J. Prince’s family members, in the early morning of November 1. It’s reported that a disagreement over a dice game turned deadly, with Takeoff being the only victim. Police claim he wasn’t even a part of the argument, just an innocent bystander.

However, he wasn’t the only person shot during the altercation. A woman named Sydney Leday was also injured, and after fighting for her life, she’s detailing her experience. “Everything happened within a few seconds,” she told The Shade Room during an interview. Halloween marked Leday’s 24th birthday, and she was excited to be out and about in Houston. She never expected to be shot in the head that evening. “As soon as I saw a weapon, I tried to hurry up and get out of there.”

Sydney Leday Shares Her Story

According to Sydney, she enjoyed a night on the town with her friends when they were invited to an after hours party at the bowling alley. “I’ve never been in this situation or known anybody that had to go through what I’m going through,” said Leday. “I’m just working on trying to get back to a normal [life] as much as possible.” The party was reportedly “thrown by J. Prince,” said The Shade Room. Sydney added, “I would say, we got there about one o’clock in the morning.” However, when the party seemed to be coming to an end, Leday noticed a shift in the energy.

“Everybody seemed like they knew each other,” she noted. Leday and her friend then watched on as the dice game unfolded. “We got outside, and it was time for everybody to go home. That’s when things changed.” The victim recalled seeing Quavo arguing with a man before other patrons came outside to see what was happening. Initially, it wasn’t a fight, but the two men were discussing the game that reportedly concerned $100K. When things turned serious, Leday remembered being “caught off guard.” Then, someone “[pulled] out a weapon,” which was Leday’s cue that it was time to go.

She Didn’t Know She Was Shot

Sydney didn’t hear the gunshots until she was at an escalator. “I remember running away,” but then suddenly, she crumbled to the ground. Her friend tried to pick her up. “I felt the sting in my head,” she said. “I didn’t realize what actually happened to me, and fortunately, I had on a wig and a wig cap. So, I took the wig off and noticed that I had a lot of blood.” Her friend rushed her to the hospital, and Leday began having seizures during the journey. She was in a coma for days and is grateful to be alive. Yet, her road to recovery is far from over. Watch the report above to see what else The Shade Room uncovered in court documents.

According to several confirmed reports, a person was fatally shot during a robbery of a Queens smoke shop this past weekend.

The deadly shooting occurred inside the Plug Smoke Shop on Jamaica Avenue. Police responded to a call of shots fired and found the 20-year-old worker from the store shot in his chest.

Daryus Clarke was pronounced dead after being transported to Jamaica Medical Center.

Police are searching for a white Toyota with Florida license plates that may have been involved in the shooting.

“It’s the same story. They are getting robbed because they do a cash business, and they have drugs, it’s a two-for-one,” said one Queens officer.

This is the latest of a string of smoke shop shootings ever since marijuana retails sales were made legal to licensed businesses. Last month, a man was fatally shot at a Harlem smoke shop near the busy intersection at 125th Street and Fifth Avenue.

No arrests have been made in the Queens shooting as of yet.

Ahmaud Arbery’s Killer Look To Overturn Hate Crime Conviction

by

In 2020, Ahmaud Arbery was killed in cold blood by three people just for jogging past them. According to Time, these convicted felons are claiming it was not a hate crime. Greg McMichael and his neighbor William “Roddy” Bryan are trying to claim that their murder had nothing to do with them being racist. They just wanted to kill a criminal.

Greg’s son, Travis McMichael was smart enough to admit that it was a hate crime, at least. Instead, his defense was based on a technicality. The streets where the murder happened were technically not public. The reason why he is not arguing against the murder being a hate crime is because of something he did in 2018. He posted a comment on a Facebook video of a black man pranking a white person. His comment threatened to murder the African American.

Ahmaud Arbery Hate Crime Defense

McMichael tried to wiggle out of his hate crime conviction. He said that he started chasing and killing Arbery, not for his skin color, but rather because he trespassed for half a second. Months before the murder, Aubery was caught on camera going into a neighbor’s house that was under construction. He only popped in and out. Aubery did not vandalize anything, nor did he steal anything. He wasn’t even armed. McMichael’s attorney had written an explanation that explains that Arbery’s race was “a fact of no greater import to Gregory McMichael’s calculus than Mr. Arbery’s biological sex, the shorts he was wearing, his hairstyle, or his tattoos.”

Bryan’s defense, at least, had a very slightly larger margin of doubt than McMichael’s. He claims he had not seen the security footage. He only saw a black man running away from his neighbors. So, he just went along with it, assuming that his neighbors had good reason. He also claimed that Aubery never called out for help. Nor, did he show signs of being a victim of an unprovoked attack.

According to news reports, Houston rapper OMB Bloodbath has been indicted on RICO charges for allegedly aiding a violent gang in a murder.

OMB Bloodbath, whose real name is Alexandra Nicks, is allegedly part of the 100% Third Ward gang and is recognized as the leader of the gang. In documents obtained by AllHipHop, Nicks and other members of the 103 gang murdered a man named Sam Johnson in October 2017, according to claims from investigators.

Johnson was found lying in front of a Houston home, while police found the shells casings from the shooting on a nearby street. Nicks allegedly orchestrated numerous violet crimes with 103 gang members and investigators acquired calls between a known 103 gang leader locked up in Harris County Jail and OMB Bloodbath. 

One of the calls found Nicks and the 103 leader speaking about her record deal and said she would pay for shooters for a drive-by. OMB Bloodbath was indicted on a RICO charge for aiding and abetting the murder of Johnson, as well as other crimes related to the 100% Third Ward crew.
