SleazyWorld Go Investigated For Weapons Possession: Report
SleazyWorld Go is reportedly under investigation for weapons possession. According to AllHipHop, the outlet has obtained court documents revealing that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agency is looking into the rapper. The report shows that Task Force Officer Nicholas Horine recently applied for a search warrant to collect DNA from the 24-year-old. They plan to compare it to evidence in an ongoing federal investigation. SleazyWorld Go would be a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition as well as an unregistered machine gun.
SleazyWorld Go was previously convicted of armed robbery back in 2016. He’s been under surveillance since his 2020 release from prison. Police believe he is an affiliate of the Brotherland Gang (BLG). In July 2022, someone provided an anonymous tip that they had two photographs of the rapper holding a gun. By October, the feds executed federal search warrants on both his Instagram and Facebook accounts. They discovered multiple drug and firearms transactions. There were also photos and videos showing him holding up to 21 firearms at a time.
“Due to [SleazyGo World’s] open possession of firearms despite his status as a convicted felon, the presence of several armed gang members from the SleazyWorld/Brotherland Gangs, and the knowledge known to ATF personnel that the members of the gangs are associated with gun violence, drug sales, and illegally modified fully automatic firearms, investigators determined enforcement action was appropriate,” the documents obtained by AllHipHop read. “ATF personnel contacted tactical officers of the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department Special Operations Unit.”
They further continue: “Upon arrival of tactical officers from the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department, ISAAC and his associates fled on foot inside the townhome residence located at […] in an effort to elude detention by law enforcement.”
SleazyWorld Go refused to let the police officers search his vehicle for weapons. However, they still obtained access by breaking a window. They found numerous firearms inside, including an AK-47, a Glock, and more. Revisit SleazyWorld Go’s 2022 collaboration with Lil Baby, “Sleazy Flow (Remix),” below.

Moneybagg Yo Calls For Justice For Tyre Nichols
Moneybagg Yo took to Instagram to send his prayers to Tyre Nichols’ family and call for justice for his passing. Many protested the Memphis Police Department’s cruelty and will likely continue to do so. Moreover, the Memphis rapper shared a message to the Nichols family and to the city via Instagram.
“Praying for the family of Tyre Nichols,” the rapper’s post read. “Also praying for our city. #JusticeForTyre.” Also, he captioned it with the same hashtag and added some emojis, including open hands and praying hands.
Moreover, the police department fired five Memphis police officers from their post following a traffic stop. According to the department’s official statement, a “confrontation” occurred during the stop that caused Nichols to flee. Later, a second “confrontation” took place when authorities caught up to him.
“Our son ran because he was scared for his life,” his stepfather Rodney Wells told reporters. “And when you see the video you’ll see why he was scared for his life.”
Furthermore, U.S. President Joe Biden issued a statement on Tyre Nichols’ death.
“Tyre’s family deserves a swift, full, and transparent investigation into his death,” the statement read. “As Americans grieve, the Department of Justice conducts its investigation, and state authorities continue their work, I join Tyre’s family in calling for peaceful protest. Outrage is understandable, but violence is never acceptable. Violence is destructive and against the law. It has no place in peaceful protests seeking justice.”
A comrade in TN said it was okay to share this footage.

Also, attorney Ben Crump called footage from the January 7th stop “appalling” in a recent press conference.
“We join Tyre’s family in supporting the Department’s decision to terminate the five officers who brutalized him, ultimately causing his death,” he wrote with fellow attorney Antonio Romanucci. “This is the first step towards achieving justice for Tyre and his family. They must also be held accountable for robbing this man of his life and his son of a father.”

Britney Spears Issues Statement After Fans Prank Call Police To Her House
Britney Spears asked fans to respect her privacy after police rushed to her home due to prank calls from fans. Moreover, police visited the star singer’s home for a check-in after callers reported “suspicious activity.” While they might’ve referred to her deleting her Instagram account, Spears still said it was too much.
“As everyone knows the police were called to my home based on some prank phone calls,” she wrote on social media. She said she loves and adores her fans, but this instance was an invasion on privacy. “The police never entered my home and when they came to my gate they quickly realized there was no issue and left immediately.
“This felt like I was being gaslit and bullied once the incident made it to the news and being portrayed once again in a poor and unfair light by the media,” she continued. “During this time in my life, I truly hope the public and fans who I care so much about can respect my privacy moving forward. All the love, B.”

Moreover, TMZ reported that authorities went to her house “out of an abundance of caution”. Also, this news follows a public outing with her husband Sam Ashgari which people witnessed. Furthermore, TMZ alleged that she had a “bizarre meltdown” and “stormed out” afterwards.
“I know the news is all hyped about me being a little drunk at a restaurant… It’s like they’ll be WATCHING MY EVERY MOVE,” she said earlier this month on social media. “I’m so flattered they talk about me like a maniac THEN have the balls to talk about all the negative things that happened in my past!!!”
Meanwhile, authorities freed Britney from her 13-year conservatorship in late 2021, which was even more high-profile than these recent allegations. In addition, leaders in the #FreeBritney movement said they plan to jump off from that case to change conservatorship law.
Still, what do you think of Britney Spears’ statement after prank callers drew the police to her home? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, log back into HNHH for the latest pop culture news and events of note.
