The conversation comes after B.G. got out of prison, earlier this month, after serving over a decade behind bars for weapons and witness tampering charges. Upon B.G. earning his freedom, Birdman announced that he will be rejoining Cash Money going forward. “For the record, I just want n****s to know that my n***a [B.G.] official Cash Money — ain’t no cap in that,” Birdman declared on The 85 South Show. “Ya heard me? Ain’t nobody he can ever sign with beside this shit. I’m bringing all this shit together. B.G. signed to Cash Money so y’all don’t got to hear it from nowhere else.” Check out B.G.’s full plans for new music below.

Outisde of releasing new music, B.G. also recently revealed that his main focus is simply staying focused. In a post on social media from September 3, he wrote: “The main focus, is to stay focused. I’m not letting nobody rob me of my productivity, prosperity, positivity and peace of mind. My dreams then got bigger and my vision is clearer. 13 years was more then enough time for me to change the reckless path I was on. I’m getting back in the 100MillionDolla race, and my big homie gave me the route. #RNS”

Pooh Shiesty’s Lastest Prison Photos Have Fans Thirsting

September 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Pooh Shiesty is back on Instagram with some more updates behind bars for his fans and followers. Still just 23 years of age, the Memphis hitmaker is currently serving his five-year prison sentence. Back in June 2021 the “Back in Blood” rapper was handcuffed and locked up for conspiracy to possess a firearm in furtherance of violent and drug-trafficking crimes. It was not the ideal situation for Shiesty because of his fast-paced growth in the industry. But, he needs to deal with the consequences of his actions.

It has now been a little over two years into his time in prison. Over the course of the time span, we have received some interesting tidbits over the past few months. Shiesty, back in late February of this year, took some time to flex on the Gram about his net worth. In the caption he wrote, “I still remain Untouched , Millions still in double digits ! tell google fix my networth we can verify that s*** right now.” But, now the Instagram account theneighborhoodtalk has more information from Pooh.

#TheWaitIsOver #TheKingIsBack! #FreeTheBiggest.” Even more odd were some female fans thirsting over his photo. “How he still fine? Smh ” Another says, “It’s something about when them n***** get locked up. Don’t no n**** look better than a n**** that’s been doin time.” Very interesting opinions from these commenters, do you agree with them?

B.G. Returning To Cash Money Records, Birdman Claims

September 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After being released from prison, it appears that B.G. is hitting up some old classics. “For the record, I just want n-ggas to know that my n-gga official Cash Money — ain’t no cap in that,” Birdman said during an appearance on The 85 South Show on September 8. “Ya heard me? Ain’t nobody he can ever sign with beside this shit. I’m bringing all this shit together. B.G. signed to Cash Money so y’all don’t got to hear it from nowhere else.”

It’s likely that Birdman’s vehement declaration was aimed at Gucci Mane, who had offered B.G. a $1 million record deal in 2022. “My 1017 family help me welcome home the living legend @BGHollyHood! Glad u home bruh! Got so much love and respect for u as a man and artist! Get at me, I got a milli for u! Wanna sign u to 1017!!!!! #1017Mafia,” Gucci tweeted after since-debunked claims of B.G. being released began to circulate.

Everything We Know About B.G.’s Prison Release

B.G. was released from prison earlier this week after serving 11 years on weapons and witness tampering charges. However, his release came with the standard bevy of court-mandated conditions to ensure his freedom is maintained. The rapper must attend substance dependency treatment programs. Furthermore, he must “actively pursue a GED or vocational training equivalent in order to better set him up for future employment.” Additionally, he must complete 400 hours of unpaid community service and is barred from possessing a firearm. It will be interesting how his immediate post-release life shakes out.

However, B.G. has also been shown plenty of love since getting out. The Game, Bun B, Boosie, and Mack Maine were just some of the figures texting or FaceTiming the rapper. Additionally, B.G. has also confirmed that he has new music on the way, showing that he plans on wasting absolutely no time after finally getting his freedom. Follow all the latest music news here at HotNewHipHop. Are you excited about new music from B.G.? Let us know in the comments.

C-Murder’s Alleged Murder Victim’s Brother Slams Kim Kardashian

September 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The brother of C-Murder’s alleged murder victim, George Thomas, says that Kim Kardashian working to free the incarcerated rapper is a “slap in the face” to his family. Thomas spoke about Kardashian’s efforts during an appearance on BOSS TALK 101.

“It was a slap in the face to the family,” he said during the interview. “It’s a high-profile case, so you jumped on a case without reading all of the facts.” He added: “Had you done the research, you would say: ‘Hey, I’m not getting in this case.’ And then my family can’t properly mourn because every year — whether it’s BET, whether it’s something on YouTube, where there’s something else coming forward — it’s like it’s always he’s innocent, he was railroaded.”

Kim Kardashian Speaking Out On Second Chance Hiring

Kardashian has been actively working with Master P and others to spread awareness about C-Murder’s case. In August she shared an update on the situation in a lengthy statement on social media. “There is no remaining evidence that even suggests that Corey Miller is any more culpable than the hundreds of patrons who were at the Platinum Club on January 12, 2002, when Steve Thomas was tragically shot,” Kardashian wrote at the time. “Rather than search for the real perpetrator of the crime, the local sheriff’s office zeroed in on proving a case against Mr. Miller. The lead detective harassed multiple witnesses and mishandled the case to such a degree that the trial court had no choice but to grant Mr. Miller a new trial after he was convicted in 2003.”

George Thomas Calls Out Kim Kardashian

C-Murder was arrested in connection with the murder of 16-year-old Steve Thomas back in 2002. He was eventually found guilty and sentenced to life in prison on August 14, 2009.

Lil Yachty Shares Letter He Received From Tay-K

September 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Communication between Tay-K and his fans has been pretty limited. That’s obviously because the rapper is serving a 55-year prison sentence that was handed down shortly after he first broke onto the rap scene. Earlier this year he popped up periodically on various social media pages first by sending fans a letter via his Instagram story. He later thanked his fans for their response to the letter on Twitter.

Now, Lil Yachty has taken to his Instagram story to share that he’s also in communication with the young rapper. “Real n*gga @tayk47shawty” he captioned a picture of a letter he was sent by the rapper. While it’s unclear what the extent of their communication is, Yachty is giving a pretty clear cosign to the incarcerated Tay-K. In the comments of a repost of the picture, fans seem to wonder why so many are sticking their necks out for the “The Race” rapper when he won’t be released for decades. “I Can’t Wait Til bro gets released In 2089,” reads one of the top comments on the post. Check out the picture of the letter below.

Despite his situation, Tay-K appears to still be working on new music. A track from the rapper was previewed in a trailer released for Rugr@ merch back in June. Lil Yachty has also been working on new music. Over the weekend he dropped a pair of new tracks with JID. The two songs released were a fan-favorite unreleased cut called “Van Gogh” and a Babytron collab called “Half Doin Dope.”

Lil Yachty also shared a new song called “TESLA” last weekend. The neon-tinged banger served as the 4th single from a currently unannounced upcoming project Yachty has been working on this year. It’s following up his shift into psychedelic rock music on Let’s Start Here earlier this year. What do you think of Lil Yachty and Tay-K being in touch while the latter is in prison? Let us know in the comment section below.

YFN Lucci Flips Rod Wave Bars In New Instagram Post From Prison

August 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

YNF Lucci’s still behind bars amid the RICO case wrapping him up along with various other members of his alleged crew, and updates have been scant. There’s the occasional update on the trial itself, and sometimes he will be able to speak out on social media. Moreover, that’s exactly what the 32-year-old did with his latest Instagram post, featuring him flexing in the passenger seat of a car. Not only that, but it seems like he gave us a peek into what’s been in his music rotation (if any) lately, or at least what’s resonating with him the most. In his caption, the Atlanta rapper quoted some lyrics from Rod Wave’s song “Moving On.”

“God give his toughest battles to his toughest soldiers,” YFN Lucci wrote, paying homage to Wave’s bars. “Don’t cry for me when the war is over. Just know I finally found that peace that I was looking for. I’m all in Houston, me and Zelly found that drank we was looking for.” While it’s a small and seemingly innocuous update, it could mean a lot to fans who have been watching his legal case develop and shift for a long time now.

YFN Lucci Honors Rod Wave In Latest IG Post

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

In terms of that trial, the latest update we got on that was that the “Key to the Streets” MC denying a plea deal in his case. This would entail him admitting guilt to felony murder, aggravated assault, racketeering, and more. That news suggested that YFN Lucci would rather see these charges move to trial and fight them out in court. Considering all the ruckus around plea deals in YSL’s RICO case, maybe he dodged a bullet with this one. Still, it hasn’t made the case move any faster.

Meanwhile, there’s only so much we can gather from this case at the moment, especially when it comes to his status. A few pictures emerged from him in jail that at least provided some visual assurance for fans. For the most part, though, we’re all playing the waiting game until the court is able to take a step forward. With that in mind, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on YFN Lucci and Rod Wave.

Casanova Asks For Reduction Of Prison Sentence, Denies Robbery Charges

August 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Amid his appeal process for his 15-year prison sentence, Casanova is trying to reduce his jail time by disputing whether his crimes are even crimes to begin with. Moreover, the rapper cited his “extraordinary acceptance of responsibility” for his racketeering charges as a valid reason to show mercy in this regard. For those unaware, these charges are allegedly in connection with the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation Bloods gang. A more important part of this motion is the claim that his robbery charges are invalid, considering that the incident he was arrested for don’t legally constitute a robbery under New York state law. This stems from an altercation at the Good Stuff Diner in 2018.

Furthermore, this fight with Niya Rucker, who recorded him at the restaurant, is a big contributing factor to Casanova’s conviction. He’s one of 18 codefendants in a racketeering case for murder, attempted murder, drug dealing, and other charges. Back to this New York occurrence, though, Rucker claims the 36-year-old’s colleagues choked and cut her while trying to delete the footage from her phone, and even broke her jaw. Following two counts of felony robbery, he and his lawyer denied these accusations and maintained that Rucker left with her phone.

Casanova At The 2019 BET Awards

As such, they argued that this wasn’t a robbery at all and the charges are unjust. While this case doesn’t constitute the crime or larceny in the legal definition, Casanova still accepted his conviction and even acknowledged that the crime was, in fact, more severe than what they charged him with. This accountability is what the Brooklyn MC believes justifies a more merciful sentence. In addition, he claimed to cut ties with Gorilla Stone.

Meanwhile, this complicated situation and his denouncement of the criminal organization yielded other personal consequences. For example, inmates attacked him back in June, and it’s unclear how tied this incident is to his actual case. Regardless, it seems like things may not be as bleak for him, although it will be a tough case to make. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Casanova.

Polo G & Family Bail Out Of Prison On Felony Charges After Police Raid: Report

August 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Authorities reportedly released Polo G and his brother from prison on bond, and got felony charges following a Wednesday (August 23) police raid on the Chicago rapper’s home. Moreover, his mother also clarified that they released his sister as well, and she announced that Polo and his sibling Taurean came home. Both had a $100,000 bail, left jail on Thursday (August 24), and have upcoming court dates on September 12 and 13, respectively. However, after officials finished the raid, police arrested them on Wednesday for several felonies, according to TMZ Hip Hop. These include kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, and robbery, and they bonded out the following day. In addition, on Wednesday, the Hall Of Fame MC’s lawyer Bradford Cohen spoke to XXL about these developments.

“The incident surrounded someone staying in Polo’s home and not Polo directly,” he remarked to the publication. “The officers have detained [Polo G] to ‘verify’ that he is not a convicted [criminal], as they assert a firearm was found in the home. It is widely known that Polo is not convicted and never was convicted. I personally got all his charges in Miami dismissed when he was in our opinion wrongfully arrested and charged. They have refused to allow us access to our client which is also an illegal and unethical practice and someone will have to answer for these new wrongful actions.”

Furthermore, Cohen referred to an earlier 2021 incident with this statement. Authorities arrested Polo G in Miami and faced charges of “battery on a police officer, threatening a public servant, resisting an officer with violence, resisting an officer without violence, and criminal mischief.” Regarding the robbery charges, it seems authorities were concerned that he was harboring a fugitive, and other reports suggested that the robbery fugitive in question was Taurean. “Polo, Leilani, and Baby are detained,” his mother had written on social media. “An active investigation is taking place… To my knowledge, Polo is not the object / focus of the investigation. I am hopeful that the LAPD will handle this matter with tact and transparency. I will update you all as time permits.”

Meanwhile, this threw a wrench into the 24-year-old’s release rollout, although more clicks can’t hurt. His upcoming album Hood Poet may be his last, and it’s unclear if this legal case will impact it significantly. Hopefully he’s able to sort all this out and authorities can get a clearer image of who’s at fault. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Polo G.

Young Thug will have his work cut out for him to get home soon. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been adamant about putting the YSL mogul behind bars. “It does not matter what your notoriety is or what your fame is. If you come to Fulton County, Georgia, you commit crimes, and certainly if those crimes are in furtherance of a street gang, then you are going to become a target and a focus of this district attorney’s office, and we are going to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law,” she said after his arrest.

Having been in jail for over a year, the court is still searching to narrow down a jury for the lengthy case. Before that happens, Thug has been denied bond four times. His attorney, Brian Steel, argues that Thug isn’t a risk if allowed out of jail. “Mr. Williams is not a risk to commit a crime and he’s not a risk to flee the jurisdiction and that’s what bond is about,” Steel told ABC News back in April. Be on the lookout for further updates on Thug’s case on HotNewHipHop.

Tory Lanez’s Jail Situation Has Been Revealed

August 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tory Lanez is currently in the midst of his 10-year prison sentence. For those who don’t know, last Tuesday, Tory was sentenced to 10 years for the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. Overall, this was a massive sentence that a lot of fans were expecting at this point. Although some people feel like the sentence is too long, there are others who think it isn’t enough. Wherever you fall on this spectrum, there is no doubt that the artist is in for a rough decade. Whether it be in prison or the court of public opinion.

Many fans are curious as to what kind of life he will be leading in prison. When you are a celebrity, sometimes there are ways to make the prison experience more enjoyable. However, you’re still locked up, so it’s not like this is some kind of retreat. As TMZ reports, things are actually fairly lonesome right now for the artist. Although, this is mainly because he is still in the Los Angeles County Jail. He is waiting to be sent to a state prison in California. This could take up to a month, and in the meantime, Lanez has to stay put.

As for the conditions, it is being noted that he is part of the administrative segregation unit. This is simply for those who can not be part of the general population. Overall, this should not be a surprise given who Tory is. As for his free time, Tory only gets two hours outside of his cell every day. Moreover, he only gets three hours of fresh air per week. Despite all of this, Tory has a fairly loaded commissary, and he has been able to buy lots of snacks and other items.

For now, it remains to be seen how Tory’s situation will progress. Of course, it has been said that his legal team would like to appeal the judge’s decision. However, it remains to be seen how that appeal will go down. Let us know what you think of his sentence, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.
