Blueface’s Father Provides Hopeful Update On His & Chrisean Rock’s Legal Woes

July 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Both Blueface and Chrisean Rock have found themselves behind bars in recent months, and updates on the iconic duo have since been few and far between. Fortunately, however, Blueface’s father Johnathan Porter Sr recently provided fans with a brief message. In a new Instagram post, he vibes to Kendrick Lamar’s track “Not Like Us” before sharing his hopes for the future.

According to him, he hopes that his son will be released within the next 20 days with time served. He also wishes for Chrisean’s release on the same day. Porter Sr asks supporters to keep them both in their prayers, “so that everybody can have a new start.” At the time of writing, it remains unclear when Blueface will actually be released. He was previously expected to get out on July 2.

He turned himself in back in January for an alleged parole violation and has been in custody ever since. Chrisean then attended one of his hearings last month, where she was also arrested. Reportedly, she’s expected to get extradited to Oklahoma after finishing up a 30-day stint in California for alleged assault with a deadly weapon. She was charged in Oklahoma with “possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and possession of a controlled dangerous substance.”

In his caption, Blueface’s father noted that their son Chrisean Jr. is “missing his mother dearly.” Hopefully, both of them will return home to the 11-month-old sooner rather than later. What do you think of Blueface’s father providing fans with a hopeful update on his son’s legal troubles? What about him revealing that Chrisean Jr. is missing his mother?

Ralo Buys An Atlanta Block & Plans To Open City’s First Vine City Mosque After Prison Release

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ralo has been through a lot over the past few years, and now that he’s officially free from his halfway house, he can move onto greater things. Moreover, he recently announced that he bought a whole block in Atlanta consisting of various commercial properties, and also relayed plans to build the first Vine City Mosque in the history of the state of Georgia. In the Atlanta rapper’s Instagram post on the matter, he specifically highlighted the importance of not having to recur to his old lifestyles and troubles now that he’s found personal and financial freedom. Overall, it’s a very heartening story and a hard-earned one, and hopefully one that brings him a lot of fulfillment, joy, and opportunities in the future.

“The folks sent me to federal prison, took everything from me and left my family out hea with NOTHING,” Ralo’s Instagram caption began. “I ran this s**t back up legally. I won’t ever have to sell a piece of dope again in my life. I’ve become a restaurant, hair salon, barber shop and clothing store owner. Allah has blessed me to open up the first #VineCityMosque in the history of Atlanta.

“I won’t ever in my life have to rent another condo again now that I own dozens directly across the street from the Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta,” Ralo’s Instagram post continued. “Go watch Ralo Chapter 38 | Hood Hero #OutNow on YouTube to see how I’m putting all this s**t together. My goal is to link up with the people and do this in every state. If you wanna donate to the cause or help with the mostque go to FamericaNews.Com #KingAkh.”

Meanwhile, Ralo also recently stood by many values that he continues to champion from his past life, even under wildly different circumstances. “Man ain’t no way Shawty just got on that stand against his childhood friend,” he expressed concerning Trontavious Stephens’ recent testimony in the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. “I rather die ah thousand deaths before I do some s**t like that.” We’ll see what other principles, initiatives, and developments the 29-year-old enjoys in his freedom.

Ralo Officially Released From Halfway House

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ralo is now a free man, as he recently shared an update on his legal situation with fans on Instagram on Thursday (June 27). Moreover, he posted a photo of a federal release notice form indicating that he was officially free from his stay at a halfway house (which lasted eight months) that same day. The Atlanta rapper and YSL sympathizer, according to this revealed paperwork, will also face five years of probation following this release. “Today the last day of this federal halfway house s**t, I’m signing my papers we finna be outside…” he captioned his post. “#FukPrison #Fuk12 I’m ready to do my interviews, my shows call Johnnie (404) 798-0197.”

For those unaware, Ralo saw a prison release in November of last year following a five-year prison sentence. Back in 2018, authorities arrested him after allegedly discovering $1 million worth of marijuana on his private plane at an Atlanta airport, and in June of 2022, he received an eight-year prison sentence. The judge credited this with four years of time served and, reportedly, with “one and a half year for good time,” according to the Thugger affiliate. Since then, he stayed at the halfway house in Atlanta until just this week.

Ralo Announces His Freedom

In addition, Ralo also released some singles following his prison release, including a “First Day Out” and a couple of other collaborations. We don’t know what’s left in store for the future, but either way, fans are very happy with this development and are sending their best wishes. Unfortunately, this freedom also involved some bumps along the road, including a bizarre social media suspension shortly after its lawful commencement. Presumably, this had something to do with his post-release terms restricting fan engagement.

Meanwhile, the rap game welcomed Ralo back with open arms, as folks like Lil Baby treated him to “welcome home” gifts like a $50K watch. It’s been heartening to see, and though the process hasn’t been perfect, that’s an increasingly rare luxury. Hopefully the rest of his return to the regular world goes by without many hiccups. We’ll see what this halfway house release provides in the future.

Pop Smoke’s Alleged Killer Cuts Off Ankle Monitor: Watch

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Pop Smoke murder trial has taken some interesting turns as of late concerning former codefendants, but they’re on very different extremes of discussion. On one hand, the sole adult defendant in the case, Corey Walker, failed to secure a plea negotiation in his case, so he will have to wait longer to face his trial. But for the other codefendant of note these days, Blockstar, his newsworthiness stems more from his extreme attempts at securing freedom. Moreover, a clip recently emerged of him seemingly cutting off his own ankle monitor, making his attempts at escape known for whatever reason.

Furthermore, the court previously released Blockstar earlier this month in the Pop Smoke murder case, presumably due to completing his four year juvie sentence following a guilty plea. The circumstances and vagueness of this release provoked a lot of debate within fans. Of course, a lot of negative messages and threats ensued, and another video was posted that shows Blockstar’s probation officer calling him and requesting relocation due to concerns over his safety. Clearly, a lot of anger or confusion over this has caused some due worries, and hopefully it doesn’t escalate.

However, things took yet another curious turn when Pop Smoke’s released alleged murderer demanded that No Jumper hand him a bag. Specifically, it seems like he wants the publication to pay him for providing coverage of his prison release and, by extension, allegedly exploiting his name and story for their own gain. We’re sure that Blockstar extends this ire to other news outlets and media pages talking about his release, but he still chose one particular target. Perhaps something develops from this in the future, but again, hopefully things stay more measured.

Meanwhile, this news arrived a couple of months after folks heard a new alleged testimony of the tragic loss of Pop Smoke. It came from a supposed friend or colleague of his that was apparently at his house when home invaders took his life. It’s a bit of a harrowing account, but it also emphasizes the mundane nature of the situation before a dark end. With luck, we will celebrate the late New York MC’s legacy this year for many more reasons that have nothing to do with this crime.

Pop Smoke’s Alleged Killer Reportedly Released From Prison

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

According to numerous online reports and social media activity, authorities reportedly released one of Pop Smoke’s alleged killers from jail (specifically juvie) for what seems like his 21st birthday. Moreover, there isn’t a lot of concrete information available about this supposed release at press time, other than this being the completion of the alleged killer’s four-year sentence for pleading guilty to murder. This follows other developments in the New York drill rapper’s murder case, such as an alleged eyewitness explaining how it all went down. That took place on social media, though, not in court. As such, there are still a lot of unanswered questions and doubts when it comes to this tragedy.

Furthermore, four years have passed since Pop Smoke died in a home invasion and robbery, and only one defendant remains in his case. Corey Walker is also the only adult defendant in this case, and the court delayed his trial due to an inability to settle a plea agreement with prosecutors. “Negotiations fell through, but there’s still a possibility we’ll come to an agreement,” defense attorney Deion Benjamin told Rolling Stone. “A few things need to be ironed out. If they don’t get resolved, we’ll go to trial,” for which jury selection would begin on August 6.

Pop Smoke’s Alleged Killer Is Reportedly Free

However, this vague release definitely isn’t the most odd or bizarre thing to emerge out of this Pop Smoke case. Some connected it to the death of rapper Sirtanky, and believe that the latter passed away as a move of retaliation for the murder of the former. In fact, the Los Angeles rapper washed up in a barrel on the shores of Malibu, a gruesome and disturbing end with unclear context behind it. Hopefully no further violence affects this whole situation.

Meanwhile, Pop Smoke continues to live on as a staple of contemporary New York hip-hop, falling alongside city legends that have also done a lot to rep for the city in their respective eras. Sadly, his time on this Earth was far too short for him to fully enjoy and realize his impact, potential, talents, and life. Hopefully this release is a sign of completed justice, and that folks involved have learned from their horrific actions. We’ll see how else The Woo endures.

Sheff G was arrested in 2023 as one of 32 alleged gang members indicted for shootings and other crimes. Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said at the time, as noted by AllHipHop: “It is distressing to know that some of the violence was allegedly fueled by a young man who used money he made from a successful music career to allegedly pay for and encourage acts of violence.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Sheff G on HotNewHipHop.

G. Dep’s Prison Release Comes After 13 Years Behind Bars: Video

April 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The story of G. Dep is unlike that of any other rhymer, which is exactly why we’re so curious to see what’s next for the former Bad Boy artist. As HipHopDX reports, Trevell Coleman was signed to Diddy’s label in the late ’90s. He only got to show us a small bit of his lyrical talent before he went away to prison. In late 2023 he was one of just over a dozen people who New York Governor Kathy Hochul granted clemency. At the time, Dep became eligible for parole years sooner than before, and he was finally released today (April 4).

His official Instagram page has been keeping followers up to date with the latest, from the prison gates to Coleman’s first meal as a free man. The 49-year-old’s family was happy to pick him up at Fishkill Correctional Facility in upstate NY. At the time, they emotionally greeted him with a prayer circle.

Before the clemency grant, Dep was unable to petition the parole board until the 15-year mark of his sentence for the 1993 murder of John Henkel. It wasn’t until 2010 that the “Special Delivery” artist turned himself in, but his heartfelt apology and the work he’s done to change his life behind bars helped prove that he’s worthy of a second chance at life.

Rather than reporting on constant arrests, it’s a welcome break to hear so many stories of incarcerated artists coming home. Unfortunately, B.G.’s return from prison has been cut unexpectedly short as he allegedly broke probation by working with known felons like Gucci Mane and Boosie Badazz. Would you like to see G. Dep return to the studio now that he’s a free man? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Chrisean Rock & Her Son Await Blueface’s Release In New Selfies

March 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since Blueface turned himself in back in January, Chrisean Rock hasn’t shied away from showing him love online. The Baddies star has called for his release in various posts, making it clear that she hopes to reunite once he’s out. She even recently got a new tattoo of his mugshot on her face in his honor. Albeit controversial, it surely reaffirmed her dedication.

For a while, it was unclear whether or not Blueface was on board with the reunion, or if he’d return home to the mother of his other two children, Jaidyn Alexis. Late last month, however, he posted a clip from a jail call in which he referred to Chrisean as his “wife.” She went on to call him “daddy,” leaving fans, Blueface’s mom, and everyone else dumbfounded.

As of late, rumors that Blueface is getting out of jail soon have started to circulate, due in part to some of Chrisean’s social media activity. She was recently spotted getting in full glam, which fans speculated could be for his return. This morning, she also shared a simple Tweet reading “Blueeeee,” which followers took and ran with.

Now, she’s shared yet another post on Instagram, this time accompanied by her and Blueface’s son, Chrisean Jr. In the photos, the infant is seen laying across her chest and she flexes her aforementioned ink. “We waiting for Daddy,” she captioned the post. She went on to share another carousel, which was made up mostly of solo shots. It did include one adorable photo featuring Jr., however, in which she holds him while he sleeps. What do you think of Chrisean Rock and Chrisean Jr.’s latest batch of selfies? What about rumors that Blueface is going home soon?

Kodak Black’s Youngest Child Set To Arrive Following Prison Release

February 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Before former U.S. President Donald Trump left the White House in 2020, one of the last official moves he made was pardoning Back For Everything rapper Kodak Black. Hip-hop heads were somewhat shocked by this decision. They’ve been even more surprised to see how recklessly the Florida native has moved at times since. He’s been arrested for things like drug possession and trespassing in recent years. The former unfortunately landed him behind bars before 2023 came to a close. At the time, Yak was accused of having cocaine on his person. Thanks to attorney Bradford Cohen’s tireless work, the judge agreed that it was Oxycodone – a medication that the rhymer has a prescription for.

After the charges were dropped Black still wasn’t immediately released. On Wednesday (February 21), cameras caught footage of the controversial entertainer on his way home. Yak eager to reconnect with his loved ones and get back to business as usual in the studio. Elsewhere, he’s also expecting his fourth child to arrive later this week. Baby mama Maranda Johnson, who the “Love & War” artist already shares a two-year-old daughter with, has been holding it down in his absence, and her Instagram is full of stunning maternity photos pleading with authorities to free her baby daddy.

As XXL notes, Cohen spoke about his famous client’s release in a statement on social media yesterday. “In [typical] Kodak fashion, he just pledged to donate to the college fund of a 2-year-old and a 5-month-old, whose father was a Minnesota officer killed recently in the line of duty,” the attorney praised Yak. “Expecting his 2nd son this Friday, he knows how important family is and hopes it helps relieve some burden.” Besides the unborn addition to his family with Johnson, Black already has two other children.

Kodak Black’s supporters are happy to see him embracing life as a free man again. Still, the rapper was less than pleased with the number of people watching him leave prison after successfully having his drug possession charges thrown out. Read how the Florida native reacted to unwanted spectators from the media at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Boosie Badazz & B.G. Have Emotional Reunion In Vegas: Watch

February 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

B.G. has certainly been making the most of his newfound freedom since getting released from prison in September of last year. Fans have seen the rapper drop new music, chat with followers online, and of course, link up with old collaborators. Since his release, he’s collaborated with the likes of Gucci Mane, Finesse2tymes, C-Murder, and more. He even claims to be in talks with NBA YoungBoy about a collab, though further details of the project have yet to be announced.

One of the first collaborations fans saw from B.G. once he was out was with none other than Boosie Badazz. The two Louisiana-born performers joined forces for “Free BG / My Dawg.” In the song, the Hot Boys rapper shows love to Boosie for sticking by his side throughout his 13-year prison stay. “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.
