Lil Xan On The Run From Police After Viciously Pummeling Concertgoer

November 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Redlands, California rapper Lil Xan is dealing with some more legal trouble. According to TMZ, the “Betrayed” songwriter is on the run from police following a violet altercation with a male concertgoer. The incident took place at a nightclub called Royale in Boston, Massachusetts last Friday night and bleeding into early Saturday morning. The outlet got a hold of some of the video footage from the establishment and it’s quite alarming.

It starts off with Lil Xan trying to get the crowd into his performance and the overall atmosphere as well. In the process of doing that, there’s a man wearing what looks to be a blue sweater with a white collared shirt popping out around the neckline. If you want to see the videos detailing what we are describing, you can click the “[Via]” link below. For whatever reason, the man decides to raise his middle finger toward Xan, which he takes notice of. It’s worth nothing that there’s a strong chance the concertgoer was intoxicated to some extent. He is holding a beer in his hand during this time.

Lil Xan Is A Wanted Man

Xan didn’t appreciate that, so he walked over to the guy and started exchanging words. It’s unclear what was said, but we can surmise that they weren’t very nice things. After that, the rapper swings his hand with the microphone in it and lands a big hit to his head. In fact, it was so hard that the man collapsed to the floor. But Lil Xan isn’t done. He then chucks the mic at him while he’s down on the ground.

Finally, as he’s getting up, Xan kicks him in the side of the head, and he crashes to the floor again. The slow motion makes it looks even worse than it does in full speed. They were eventually separated, but the damage was done. Sources at the concert say Xan was able to get away from security trying to detain him. Cops got to the scene of the attack around 1:30 a.m. with the call being for assault and battery. The witness says the whole debacle was unprompted. The victim of Xan’s wrath seems to be fine as he refused any medical attention. As it stands, an investigation is currently underway.

That was when she dialed 911. Police arrived at the scene and Quan was then transferred to Grady Hospital in Atlanta which is where he tragically passed away.

Quan’s brother seemed to be able to answer all of the officer’s questions without much hesitation. However, Williams was more emotional and did get pretty choked up. It’s a pretty hard watch at points, so if you do get sensitive easily, we encourage you to skip it if that’s the case. GOSSIP OF THE CITY says that the rapper’s brother took some pictures of him with the food in his mouth. Additionally, the police told Amber that his eyes were still open while they were taking Quan to the hospital. Furthermore, police were suspicious of the situation and because of this, they contacted homicide.

Teenage Rapper Rylo Huncho Dies After Accidental Self-Inflicted Gunshot To The Head: Details

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

According to multiple reports, including Billboard, 17-year-old Suffolk, Virginia rapper by the name of Rylo Huncho died on May 15. The tragedy took place around 10 p.m. that night, according to a spokesperson for the Suffolk PD. Authorities are calling his cause of death a “self-inflicted gunshot wound.” He did make it to a local hospital before succumbing to his injuries. While this part of the story is confirmed, a lot is still yet to be fully determined by the police. Due to Rylo being classified as a juvenile, his legal name is still unknown at this moment. Furthermore, perhaps the most important piece to this unfortunate puzzle is the rapper’s manner of death. In the preliminary investigation, it was being viewed as an accident.

However, the aforementioned spokesperson for the Suffolk PD is saying that all the details are not being revealed yet. The main reason seems to be that this could have been an act of suicide. This self-inflicted gunshot reportedly occurred while Rylo was filming a music video on TikTok. We did not include the disturbing video, as viewer discretion is advised. If you want, you can watch the video with the second “[Via]” link below. He appears to be holding a pistol with a green laser attachment before supposedly pulling the trigger and crashing to the ground out of frame. Before the bullet was fired, he said, “F*** y’all n****s.”

Rylo Huncho’s Manner Of Death Still Not Totally Confirmed

His family has already launched a GoFundMe page to help support funeral costs. At the time of writing, they have raised just over $3000, $12,000 short of their goal. “Hello, my aunt recently lost her 17-year-old son from a self-inflicted gun wound to the head. He was her only son! She was a single parent but took care of her son the best she could. Suicide/accidental was the cause of his death we are still trying to figure out why. But anything I mean anything can help her at this time of need,” the description reads. “He was her only child she was also an only child it was always her and her son. Anything can help! Please keep my family in your prayers thank you so much.”

Death Of Adult Actress Sophia Leone Labeled “Suspicious”

March 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The recent death of porn star Sophia Leone is being considered “unique” and “suspicious” by Albuquerque police. Leone was found dead at her home on March 1, with no signs of physical trauma. However, the death is being treated as suspicious, according to a TMZ report. Furthermore, police refuted a report from Leone’s modeling agency that her death was the result of a “robbery and homicide”. “We do not know at this time if she is a victim of a crime so this is a unique situation,” a police spokesperson said.

Furthermore, Leone’s family has set up a GoFundMe to cover the costs of her funeral. “As her Stepfather, I want to personally thank you for your kindness and generosity during this difficult time. Sophia will be deeply missed but her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her. May she rest in eternal peace,” her stepfather Mike wrote on the campaign.

Adult Film Star Emily Willis In A Coma: Report

Porn star Sophia Leone’s death ‘suspicious’ and ‘unique,’ cops say — but not ‘robbery and homicide’ https://t.co/711NqYlmQ6 pic.twitter.com/VexaIn0nOy

— New York Post (@nypost) March 15, 2024

However, Leone’s death is not the only shock the adult entertainment industry has gone through recently. The family of porn star Emily Willis has revealed that the 25-year-old is in a coma and unable to breathe without a ventilator. Willis was hospitalized last month after an apparent overdose, despite a toxicology report coming back negative. However, Willis is yet to regain consciousness after suffering cardiac arrest while in rehab. Additionally, Willis’ stepfather Michael told TMZ that Willis has “stabilized somewhat” but is still unable to breathe without a ventiliator. The family set-up a GoFundMe page to cover the mounting medical expenses as they do have access to Willis’ financial accounts.

“Emily remains in a vegetative coma and is fighting for her life. We have been by her side as she slowly tries to recover, but it will be a challenging journey ahead. Regarding the reports of an overdose, we want to clarify that they are not accurate as far as the doctors and my family know. Emily was receiving the treatment and help she needed at the time of the incident to overcome her struggles,” he brother wrote in an update to the GoFundMe.

Cam Newton Brawl Participants Decline To Press Charges

February 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

No one involved in the brawl at a youth football game that also included Cam Newton will press charges. TMZ broke the news yesterday that police would be concluding their investigation into the scuffle that occurred over the weekend. “Neither Mr. Newton or any of the other involved persons who remained on scene indicated that they required medical attention or wished to pursue criminal charges. The responding officers completed an information-only incident report to document what had occurred. At this time, it is unknown how or why the scuffle occurred,” a police statement read.

However, two men involved in the brawl told Fox News that the brawl started due to trash talk that got out of hand. The brawl occurred at a 7-on-7 event in Atlanta. Newton was reportedly identified by police because of his signature hat and hair. Despite this, no one will have any repercussions as everyone involved seemingly wants to move past the incident.

Stephen A. Smith Apologizes To Cam Newton

Elsewhere, Stephen A. Smith recently apologized to Cam Newton for the role that First Take and The Stephen A. Smith Show played in the backlash Newton received over his opinions on Brock Purdy. “Whether we agree or disagree with your dissection of Brock Purdy, what that [debate] deteriorated into was whether you had the right to say that. And I just want to say on national TV…I want to apologize for that,” Smith told Newton.

Newton has been getting a lot of hate for saying that Brock Purdy was not a “game changer” but a “game manager”. It’s a point he even made prior to smith’s apology. Newton said he trusted Purdy on a game-winning Super Bowl drive because he trusted Purdy’s resources. However, many people questioned what “right” Newton, who hasn’t played since 2021, had to make that call given what he had achieved in his own career.

Nardo Wick’s Entourage Members Wanted By Police After Violent Attack

November 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Over the weekend, a Nardo Wick fan got way more than they bargained for after attending one of his shows. He tried to approach the rapper outside the venue for a picture and was met with a drastic overreaction from his posse. Two of Wick’s associates attacked the fan, whose name is George Obregon Jr. He was punched twice with both ending in his head hitting concrete and the entire interaction was captured on video. The video was shared earlier this week after it was revealed that the fan was hospitalized after the attack.

Yesterday, Nardo Wick broke his silence on the incident with a statement posted to his Instagram. He clarified that he had already reached out to the victim’s mother to express his apologies for the incident. He also pretty firmly denounced the actions of those involved in the fight. Wick probably wants to separate himself from the incident as much as possible as the police are now ramping up their investigation into the attack. Check out the disturbing video of the incident below.

Nardo Wick Fan Attacked

Earlier this week, Tampa police shared an update on the victim. They explained that he was in stable condition and now doctors are trying to figure out if any long term damage has been done. They also asked the public for help identifying the attackers in the case. According to TMZ, they’ve now narrowed their suspect list down to just two individuals whose pictures they shared online.

Nardo has had a few high-profile crossovers this year. Back in March he dropped a new track with Lil Baby and followed it up a few months later by teaming up with Gucci Mane and Roddy Ricch. Wick’s debut studio album Who Is Nardo Wick? dropped back in 2021. It spawned hit songs like “Who Want Smoke?” and “Me or Some.” What do you think of Nardo Wick’s entourage attacking and hospitalizing a fan outside one of his shows? Let us know in the comment section below.

Livvy Cook Reportedly Refusing To Cooperate With Police In Josh Giddey Investigation

November 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Livvy Cook, the alleged minor who reportedly slept with NBA star Josh Giddey, is refusing to cooperate with police over the matter, according to TMZ. The outlet previously revealed that police in Newport Beach, California had opened an inquiry into the allegations surrounding Giddey. However, Cook, who some reports have as being as young as 15 at the time of the alleged encounter, is reportedly refusing to speak with police. That has significantly stymied the investigation, which aims to ascertain the validity of the rumors about Giddey and establish if a crime took place.

It’s been nearly a week since users of X, formerly Twitter, accused Giddey of sexual misconduct. One of the widely-cited pieces of alleged evidence was a Snapchat post showing Giddey and Cook in a post-coital state of undress with the in-picture text caption “Just f-cked Josh Giddey”. There has been much debate about how old Cook actually is. The age of consent in California is 18, compared to 16 in Oklahoma, where Giddey plays.

Giddey Still Playing Despite Allegations

Despite the allegations, Giddey has continued to play for the Thunder. He has put up 20 points, 13 rebounds, and 9 assists in the two games since the allegations came to light. Furthermore, team officials have refused to comment on the situation. Head coach Mark Daigneault simply called it a “league matter” and only added that Giddey remains active with the team for the time being. The Thunder are next in action on Thursday (November 30), hosting the Lakers in OKC.

However, while he has been active on the court, pressure has been mounting against Giddey. Fans at a Lil Uzi Vert concert in Boston were heard chanting “f-ck Josh Giddey” during the show. Meanwhile, cereal brand Weet-Bix, popular in Giddey’s home nation of Australia, is potentially considering ending their $40 million endorsement with the athlete. This remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.

June 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is reportedly under investigation for alleged assault and battery. First reported by Local 10 News, the Miami Police Department opened an investigation into Hill on Sunday evening. According to initial reports, Hill struck an employee of the Haulover Marina after a verbal altercation.

On June 18, which marked Father’s Day in the United States and around the world, Hill shared a video of him and agent Drew Rosenhaus fishing off the Florida coast. Rosenhaus later shared a similar video, showing a shark swimming past the boat he and Hill were fishing from. The alleged altercation reportedly took place when the pair returned to the marina on Sunday evening.

On June 21, the Miami Dolphins released a statement concerning the allegations. “We are aware of the situation and have been in contact with Tyreek, his representatives and the NFL,” a spokesperson for the Dolphins said. “We will reserve further comment at this time.” At the time of writing, both Hill and Rosenhaus are yet to release a statement about the allegations and subsequent investigation. Hill is entering his second season with the Dolphins. He amassed a career-high 1710 yards during the 2022 season.

However, it’s not the first time Hill has been linked with similar allegations. In 2014, Hill pled guilty to domestic assault and battery by strangulation after allegations were brought forward by his then-girlfriend. The plea led to Hill’s dismissal from the Oklahoma State football team. Furthermore, Hill was investigated for alleged child battery in 2019 after reports of his three-year-old son sustaining a broken arm surfaced. Hill was never formally charged or reprimanded as a result of this investigation. The latest allegations against Hill are a developing story and we’ll have any updates here at HotNewHipHop.

Ja Morant Hit With Police Investigation

March 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ja Morant is the biggest story in the entire NBA right now, and it is for all of the wrong reasons. Overall, Morant is one of the best players in the entire NBA. However, his recent behavior has been pretty abhorrent. Over the past week or so, Morant has been the subject of numerous allegations that most have to do with a threatening nature. Moreover, on the weekend, Morant was seen in a Colorado establishment brandishing a gun. He did this while on Instagram Live, which is obviously a terrible idea.

Consequently, Morant has received a ton of backlash for his actions. In fact, he was even suspended indefinitely. There is no telling whether or not he will come back this season. Overall, this creates a huge issue for the Memphis Grizzlies, who need him in order to succeed. Furthermore, the team is hoping for him to improve his behavior, as they cannot have this happen again. After all, Morant is a young superstar who could very well throw his life away if he continues down this path.

Ja Morant On IG Live

According to TMZ, things are going from bad to worse for Morant. This is because the Glendale Police Department in Colorado now wants to investigate Morant for his night out. At the time of writing this, there are very few details in regard to the investigation. However, the Glendale Police Department is still doing its due diligence. Having a gun out in a public place isn’t exactly lowkey behavior, and Glendale wants to make sure that nothing else took place that night. Either way, it is a bad look for Ja and the Memphis Grizzlies organization as a whole.

Morant has apologized and taken accountability for his actions, which is certainly a good sign. He said that he is seeking help and that he wants to find better ways to handle stress. Overall, it will not be an easy road for Ja, however, it is a necessary one for him to go down. This is a developing story, so be sure to keep it locked to HNHH for the latest news and updates.
