Nicki Minaj Released From Police Custody In Amsterdam

May 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj has reportedly been released from police custody following her viral arrest in Amsterdam on Saturday morning. The Pink Friday 2 rapper recorded the incident on Instagram Live, showing an official attempt to bring her into custody for “carrying drugs,” despite her claiming not to be holding any. In turn, she demanded to speak with a lawyer before going any further.

In another Instagram post, she theorized that her ongoing tour is being “sabotaged.” “They’ve been trying to stop me from coming to every show,” she wrote. “They took my bags before I could see them. Put it on the plane. Now saying they’re waiting on customs. This is what it looks like when ppl are paid big money to try to sabotage a tour after all else failed. Everything they’ve done is illegal.” She will reportedly have to pay “a fine” for the incident.

Minaj was attempting to fly to the United Kingdom as she was slated to perform at Manchester’s Co-Op Live on Saturday night as part of her Pink Friday 2 Tour. In more posts on X (formerly Twitter), Minaj added further context. “Now they said they found weed & that another group of ppl have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls,” she wrote. “Keep in mind they took my bags without consent… My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him. Oh yea & the pilot wants me to take my ig post down.” She’s since postponed the show in Manchester.

Tokyo Toni Disses Rick Ross: “The Ni**a’s A Rat, He Got The Police Friends And That”

April 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross and Drake have given us some bangers over the years, such as “Aston Martin Music,” “Money In The Grave,” and “Diced Pineapples.” Despite all their past success, it seems any chance of reconciliation between the Canadian and Mississippi-born rhymers is obsolete, especially now that diss tracks have been dropped. For the most part, Champagne Papi’s been laughing off all of Ross’ claims about him, including allegations of getting a nose job. The father of one hasn’t given an official response to his former collaborator’s new diss track yet, though other social media stars are putting their pen to work, such as Tokyo Toni.

Toni, the mother of model and influencer Blac Chyna, has become known for writing songs in her home “studio” and posting them online, though some are better than others. What she said about Cardi B over the beat to “Like What” didn’t fly with hip-hop heads, though some of her bars about Ross have us laughing. “How’d he get so rich? / A fat, bald b**ch,” Toni asks, genuine confusion on her face, as music blares in the background.

“Maybach Music? What the f**k is that?” Toni then asks. “The ni**a’s a rat / He got the police friends and that,” the controversial figure adds, reminding listeners of Ross’ history as a correctional officer. “Rick Ross is already dealing with Tia Kemp, now he got this problem too? ,” one Twitter/X user laughed. “The eclipse did something to us,” another joked.

Based on how viciously Rick Ross came for Drake on “Champagne Moments,” we can’t imagine what kinds of things he might have to say to Tokyo Toni. It’s unlikely the reality starlet will get a response from the rapper, but if she did, what do you think Rozay would title the track? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more music/pop culture updates.

Police Officer Charged With Murder Of London Rapper Itch

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

An unnamed police officer fatally shot rising London rapper Itch back on September 5 of last year, and might now face dire consequences for it. Moreover, following a probe by a law enforcement watchdog, authorities charged the cop (whose name is unknown for legal liability reasons) with murder, according to a Wednesday (September 20) report from The Sun. Itch, real name Chris Kaba, was 24 and expecting a child. He passed away following a high-speed police chase where he was struck by bullets and taken to a South West London hospital, where he eventually succumbed to his injuries. Itch’s drill group, 67, received a nomination for MOBO’s Best Newcomer during their 2016 awards show.

“Chris was so very loved by our family and all his friends,” Itch’s family remarked in a statement. “He had a bright future ahead of him, but his life was cut short. Our family and our wider community must see justice for Chris. We welcome this charging decision, which could not have come too soon. Now we await the trial of the firearms officer without delay and hope and pray that justice will be served.”

Itch Murder Case Sees A Charge

“They’ve taken my heart,” Itch’s mother Elaine Kaba expressed in addition. “My son is gone, I’m heartbroken.” “We’re devastated, we don’t know what to think, we can’t think straight right now,” the MC’s father Prosper stated. “He was always joking around, he enjoyed life, he had lots of friends. He was looking forward to being a father. His girlfriend is still in shock. He was looking forward to teaching his daughter how to talk and walking and all fatherly duties. He had wanted to be a father for a long time.” In addition, Director Amanda Rowe of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) informed the press that the charged officer is due at the Westminster Magistrates’ court today (Thursday, September 21).

“Our thoughts remain with Mr Kaba’s family and everyone affected by this tragic incident,” Rowe said. “It’s important now that criminal proceedings are able to run their course. We would reiterate the importance of not reporting, commenting or sharing information online which could in any way prejudice those proceedings.” “We have fully supported the IOPC investigation as it has worked to establish the facts,” Met Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Helen Millichap added on. “Today’s announcement is a significant and serious development. We must now allow the court process to run its course so it would not be appropriate for me to say more at this stage. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this case.”
Rest In Peace Chris Kaba.
