Casanova’s Early Prison Release Plea Denied By Judge

by

A judge has dismissed a plea by Casanova to release the rapper from prison. The federal judge noted that Casanova’s sentence was already at the low end of the sentencing recommendation. Furthermore, the judge argued that Casanova was asking to be released despite serving less than 20% of his sentence. Finally, the ruling also stated that Casanova has not yet proven that he is not a danger to his community. As a result, the rapper’s 15-year sentence will be upheld.

Casanova had written a personal letter to the judge asking for a compassionate release. In the letter, the Roc Nation affiliate argued that he had fully distanced himself from the Gorilla Stone Nation gang. Furthermore, Casanova pointed to the fact that he had taken a plea deal as evidence of his remorse. While Casanova was one of 18 people charged in the New Jersey RICO case, his sentence primarily stemmed from the 2018 assault of a woman. The rapper was accused of violently grabbing the woman’s phone and deleting a video she had taken of him at a restaurant.

Casanova’s Co-Defendants Facing Possible Life Sentences

However, November brought more news from the RICO case in which Cas had pled guilty. Dwight “Dick Wolf” Reid and Christopher “Beagle” Erskine, the purported leaders of Gorilla Stone Nation, were both found guilty on a variety of charges including racketeering. Reid was described by prosecutors as the “gang’s founder and prison leader” while Erskine was portrayed as their “street leader.” While they were acquitted on several gun charges, the two men could face up to life in prison for the convictions.

It’s likely that they will not be incarcerated at the same facility as Casanova, however. As part of his plea deal, Cas had denounced and disavowed the Gorilla Stone Nation. As a result, Cas was attacked in prison while awaiting sentencing. After inmate Ulysses Lugo “slashed” Cas’ face, the rapper reported chased down Lugo, leading to a bloody mass brawl. “Inmate Lugo? You couldn’t see his face because it was saturated in blood… and his whole uniform was saturated in blood. Inmate Senior was sitting there and blood was just coming out of his face,” a prison officer who responded to the brawl told a local news outlet at the time.

Oscar Pistorius Gets Parole After Decade In Prison

by

Disgraced Olympic and Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius will be released from prison in South Africa on parole in January. Pistorius, a six-time Paralympic gold medalist, has spent the last decade in prison after shooting and killing his girlfriend in their home. According to a Department of Corrections spokesperson, Pistorius will be released on January 5. However, he will not be able to leave the neighborhood of Pretoria he is set to live in, must attend anger management counseling, and perform community service. “Parole does not mean the end of the sentence. It is still part of the sentence. It only means the inmate will complete the sentence outside a correctional facility,” the spokesperson told ESPN.

Pistorius was once the poster child of the Olympic movement. A double amputee, Pistorius dominated his classification at the Paralympics between 2004 and 2012. However, he also made headlines after successfully campaigning for the chance to compete at the Olympics as well. Pistorius reached the semifinals of the men’s 400m event at the 2012 Games. However, it would all come crashing down after Pistorius murdered his girlfriend, Reeve Steenkamp. While Pistorius admitted to shooting Steenkamp four times, he claimed he had mistaken her for an intruder.

Steenkamp’s Family Speaks On Pistorius Parole

Steenkamp’s family did not oppose or object to Pistorius’ parole. Her father died earlier this year and her mother said, via a statement read by a family friend, that she “did not have the energy to face him”. “I do not believe Oscar’s version that he thought the person in the toilet was a burglar. In fact, I do not know anybody who does. My dearest child screamed for her life. … I believe he knew it was Reeva,” the statement continued. It was read outside the prison where Pistorius has been held since 2016 by Rob Matthews. Matthew’s daughter was murdered in 2004 and he has since become a close friend of the Steenkamp family.

Upon release, Pistorius is expected to reside in the mansion of his uncle in a wealthy Pretoria suburb. While little has been said of Pistorius’ time in jail, his father claims that he holds Bible study for his fellow prisoners. However, Pistorius also required medical treatment during his incarceration. It is believed he was assaulted by a fellow prisoner regarding an argument about a prison telephone.

When Will D.Rose Be Released From Prison? Rapper’s New Mugshot Comes With Shocking Incarceration Projection

by

According to new reports, D.Rose will be released from prison in 2057. The Chicago rapper and alleged gang member was convicted of first-degree murder in 2016. Prior to the drive-by shooting that led to his conviction, Rose’s name had popped up in the lyrics of Chief Keef, Cdai, and RondoNumbaNina. At the time of his trial, it was reported that he could face up to 45 years for the crime. Furthermore, the news came alongside an updated prison mugshot, showing the now 27-year-old with dreads.

Rose, who was reportedly a member of the Black Disciples organization, was found guilty of the 2014 murder of 14-year-old Venzel Richardson, who was caught in a drive-by shooting. Richardson was reportedly shot four times by Rose, real name Ahbin Sardin before fleeing. Richardson later collapsed after striking his head on a gangway and later died from his injuries.

Mia Jaye Speaks On Young Dolph’s Death

In other crime news, Mia Jaye recently spoke on the 2021 murder of her partner, Young Dolph. “If I were to guess, based on the history of things…rap sh-t, bro. A song, or two. Some ego sh-t. Let’s break that down even more. Ego sh-t. He not here because of ego. That’s a spirit. If anyone just wanna call a spade a spade, it’s a spirit. He isn’t here because of some ego sh-t and he possessed the ego. And at the end of the f-cking day, we killing people because of a bruised, a scarred, ego?”

Dolph was killed back in 2021 after being ambushed outside a bakery in Memphis. Four men are currently facing trial for his murder. However, the case has been slow-moving in many facets and fans are beginning to tire of not seeing justice done for Dolph’s family. Meanwhile, one of the men accused of killing Dolph, Hernandez Govan met with the new judge in his case, Judge Jennifer Mitchell. Judge Mitchell was assigned to the case after the original judge, Judge Lee Coffee was recused. Judge Coffee had been ruled to have disproportionally punished another defendant in the case for releasing a song while incarcerated.

Ralo said, “Assalamualaikum | Marlo told me not to worry he was going to be the first person at the gate waiting on me when this s*** over.

Tory Lanez’ Dad Addresses Prison Release Rumors

by

Recently, Tory Lanez has been trending on Twitter/X, as fans have falsely speculated that he was released from prison. Earlier this week, the performer resubmitted his bail request, after it was denied back in September. According to reporter Meghann Cuniff, the motion was “nearly identical” to the first one he submitted. Unfortunately for hopeful fans, he was not released. According to legal paperwork provided by Cuniff, his motion is still pending.

Amid the speculation, Lanez’ father took to social media to thank fans for their support. During a recent Instagram Live, he explained how his son’s voice “will not be silenced,” urging followers to pray for a good outcome. Cuniff claims that the rumors have led to her being “bombarded” with questions surrounding his release, which she finds laughable.

“I gotta say this was an absolutely hilarious 45 minutes of being bombarded with questions about Lanez getting bail, posting that it’s BS, then listening to a Twitter Spaces in which the people saying he got bail realized in real time it was BS. Epic,” she wrote. “‘It shouldn’t be that easy to make a fake email. … These things should be verifiable.’ Yes, if only there was this thing called the public court docket that we could check to see if something has actually happened in a case,” Cuniff added.

Yesterday, Cuniff additionally reported that Lanez’ legal team was hoping it would only take “a day or two” for a hearing to be scheduled in the appellate court. She says that despite their beliefs, the process will take far longer than that. Cuniff also noted that “the appellate court does not hold hearings.” What do you think of false rumors that Tory Lanez was released? What do you think of his father’s response?

B.G. Gives Boosie Badazz A Heartfelt Shoutout In New Collab Teaser

by

B.G. is back to work since returning home from his 13-year prison stay earlier this month. He even recently linked up with Boosie Badazz for a collab. Boosie took to Instagram Live to preview the upcoming track, which boasts some grateful bars from B.G. In the song, the New Orleans-born performer gives Boosie a shoutout for having his back while he was incarcerated, claiming that he’s “blessed” to have a friend like him.

“Even when I ain’t need it I could get from my man/ I was blessed to have a friend like Boo in the can/ Every holiday he’d get my mama the bag/ What n****s y’all know is doing sh*t like that?” he rhymes. Boosie went on to post a snippet of himself jamming to the song, captioning it, “BG WENT CRAAAAZZZY‼”

Boosie’s post prompted a response from B.G., who showed more love to his fellow Louisiana native. “Waaahhhh… what’s understood don’t need to be explained,” he commented. “Real n***as do real things..I love you n***a.. you kept it 1000% with me on that bid..this only the beginning … real n***as back in style..” In Boosie’s caption, he also teased the song as being part of the deluxe edition of Goin Thru Some Thangs, which is slated for release on October 6.

Stephen Jackson On FaceTime With B.G. After Prison Release

by

B.G. was recently released from prison, after spending over a decade behind bars. He served time for gun and witness tampering charges, and has to follow quite a few guidelines amid his release. For the next two years he’s on supervised release, and will have to undergo a treatment program for alcohol/ drugs. He also has to attend school in order to “better set him up for future employment,” and serve 400 hours of community service.

With that being said, it looks like the 43-year-old rapper is already headed back to music. “For the record, I just want n***as to know that my n***a official Cash Money — ain’t no cap in that,” Birdman said yesterday. “Ya heard me? Ain’t nobody he can ever sign with beside this sh*t. I’m bringing all this sh*t together. B.G. signed to Cash Money so y’all don’t got to hear it from nowhere else.” The Cash Money founder isn’t the only person he’s reconnected with since his release, however. Recently, the rapper was also spotted on a FaceTime call with former NBA player Stephen Jackson.

B.G. And Stephen Jackson Chat On FaceTime

In the screenshot of the call, the two of them appear to be in good spirits. B.G. is seen sitting in his car while Jackson looks to be hanging out at home. It’s unclear what the duo could have been talking about during their call, however, fans are speculating in the comments section. Back in 2012, Jackson sung the praises of B.G. in an interview with ESPN, claiming that he was a major asset to his label. “Cash Money was a bigger threat when they had B.G., Juvenile, Turk and Wayne,” he explained. “Because all those guys can really rap, and they were real street guys with real credibility.“

Clearly after 11 years behind bars, it’ll take some time for B.G. to reintegrate and become comfortable in society again. Luckily, he appears to have been welcomed by various peers who will surely help him along. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on B.G. and Stephen Jackson.

B.G.’s Prison Release Conditions: Drug/Alcohol Treatment, Community Service, GED, And More

by

43-year-old B.G. is likely pleased to have regained his freedom after spending the past 11 years behind bars. Still, that doesn’t mean his time is completely his own going forward. According to TMZ, there’s a lengthy list of requirements that the New Orleans native has to follow through with if he wants to remain out of prison going forward. He’ll be spending the next two years under supervised release. During that time, he’ll be expected to participate in a drug/alcohol treatment program.

In addition to this, B.G. – born Christopher Noel Dorsey – will be attending courses geared toward people hoping to “better orient [their] life skills.” It seems the embattled artist will be spending plenty of time in the classroom as well. He’s been ordered to “actively pursue a GED or vocational training equivalent in order to better set him up for future employment.” Of course, he confirmed after being released on Tuesday (September 5) that he’ll have new music on the way in the near future. As a result, it’s unlikely we’ll see B.G. transitioning into an office role anytime soon.

B.G. is Enjoying His Newfound Freedom

Another task on the “Bling Bling” hitmaker’s list is 400 hours of unpaid community service. We’re curious to see how he’ll choose to serve these. As expected, B.G. is also prohibited from possessing firearms and dangerous weapons. He’s expected to cooperate with his probation officer’s requests to collect any DNA as needed. Life certainly won’t be the same as before for the lyricist. Regardless, we’ve seen others work their way up in the industry after serving time in the past, so anything is possible for Dorsey.

Returning back to society after such a long time in prison is a daunting task. Thankfully for B.G., he has some of the biggest names in music standing behind him. Birdman, of course, has been a solid source of support, though we also heard Gucci Mane make a major financial promise to the Cash Money artist at the end of 2022. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
