Charles Cosby Says Griselda Blanco Paid Prison Guards $1500 Every Time They’d Have Sex

February 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The story of Griselda Blanco finally found its way on Netflix recently, providing many with a glimpse into her drug empire. However, while the show aims to dramatize her life and journey to operating one of the biggest cocaine enterprises in America, it misses out on one key element: Charles Cosby. Though Netflix omitted his role in her story, Charles Cosby recently sat down with Vlad TV for an all-encompassing interview that details his time with Blanco, as well as the drug trade.

Cosby and Blanco first connected during her incarceration. Charles, who was half her age, began writing letters to her before they eventually formed a tight bond that extended to their personal lives and cocaine empire. Cosby explained that after he met Griselda, he would visit her three to four times a week. However, Cosby explained that Griselda would pay off the guards so he could sneak in to have sex with her. He estimated that she spent about $1500 for each visit over the course of 100 visits where they’d see each other.

Charles Cosby Details His Relationship With Griselda, Praises Her Son

Cosby explained that the first time they slept together, he went to the visiting center where he waited for her, though, she never came out. “A guard came and was like, ‘Follow me,’” he said, detailing how the female guard led him to a side room. “She opened the door and Griselda is lying across a cot and she was like semi-nude. So the guard told Griselda, ‘You guys have 15 minutes.’” When Vlad asked Cosby whether he slept with Griselda to help his drug business. “Griselda’s a beautiful woman, you know, a great kisser. She actually taught me how to kiss,” he said. “It was like having sex with a 21-year-old off the street so it was no different. P***y is p***y.”

From there, Cosby detailed meeting her son Michael Corleone, who stars in Cartel Crew, when he was 12 years old. The two ultimately formed a tight bond that left a lasting impression on Cosby over the years. “Michael, to this day, is the most intelligent 12-year-old kid I ever met in my life. Very articulate, respectful, cordial, and so, he liked me a lot. We just got a lot,” he said. From there, the two became close with Cosby often bringing Michael Corleone out to Oakland to hang out with him.

Adin Ross Didn’t Know Lil Durk Had Been to Jail

February 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Adin Ross once again proved that simply having rappers’ numbers didn’t make you part of the lifestyle. While reacting to Lil Durk’s new track, Ross was surprised to learn that the Chicago rapper had been to jail. Furthermore, Ross was so surprised that he proceeded to call Durk live on air to ask him about it. However, Durk did not appear especially enthused about the line of questioning. “It ain’t a good thing,” Durk said bluntly about his time in jail.

As mentioned, Ross being a hip-hop outsider when actually pressed on the life is a recurring theme for the streamer. During a 2023 stream at Floyd Mayweather’s gym, Ross tried to link up with Money, only to get a firm check on his ego. As he approaches Mayweather’s crew ringside, Ross is told to stop filming. The rest of the clip takes place with his camera looking at the floor as snippets of their interaction can be heard. The clip was a hard reality check for the rising generation of “streaming celebrities”. For all his bravado, Ross is immediately humbled by the iconic boxer. His usual larger-than-life act immediately disappears as he struggles to find the words to keep up with Mayweather’s verbal dissection. It really drives home that Ross may cosplay the lifestyle but at the end of the day, he really ain’t much.

Adin Ross Apologizes To Kanye West After Bianca Censori Intervenes

Meanwhile, Ross has apologized for his previous comments about Kanye West struggling to get brand deals. According to Ross, he had been driven to make the rare apology after Kanye’s wife, Bianca Censori, reached out to Ross to set the record straight. Ross confirmed he had received an email directly from Censori asking him to retract his statements.

Ross had tried to continue his trend of paying rappers to appear on his streams by saying he had the backing of Kick and Stake to pay Kanye for an appearance. This was taken as Ross saying that either Kanye is broke or that Kanye needs the charity. Ross backpedaled during his apology, stating that what he meant is that streaming services were not paying Kanye because “they’re not throwing money at anyone.” Do you believe Ross’ apology? Do you consider it an apology at all? Let us know in the comments.

Kodak Black To Be Released From Prison

February 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black is expecting to be released from prison as early as Wednesday night, his attorney, Bradford Cohen, announced on Instagram. While Kodak pleaded guilty to one count of failure to report police contact, Judge Jose Martinez dismissed all other counts. With time served, he’s already ready for release.

“Federal Probation terminated with time served,” Cohen wrote. “In the Southern District of Florida Judge Martinez dismissed all substantive counts and Kodak plead to sole violation of failure to report police contact. Time served and he should be released by tonight. With my co counsel @skywriter.esq @kodakblack.”

Police originally planned to charge Kodak with cocaine possession after an arrest in December 2023, wherein they found a “white chunky substance” in his vehicle. However, they ended up going with oxycodone possession, thus violating his probation. Cohen quickly came forward to argue Kodak had a prescription for the painkillers. “It’s oxycodone that Kodak had a prescription for and not an illegal substance,” Cohen wrote on social media at the time. “Knowing that the officer substantially misrepresented his observations, the Broward State Atty Office still filed the charge. Unbelievable and it will not be tolerated. This level of abuse of power by the arresting officer is disgusting.” Check out Cohen’s latest update on Kodak below.

Earlier this month, Judge Barbara Duffy admitted during a hearing that prosecutors failed to “refute or negate the material fact that the defendant had an oxycodone prescription filled by a pharmacy.” Kodak, himself, has yet to comment on the update but be on the lookout for further news on the rapper and his release on HotNewHipHop.

February 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

B.G. recently reflected on his experiences in prison during the music video for his new song, “Really Understand.” In the piece, he appears in an interrogation room before being shipped off to a jail cell.

Troy Ave Tells Fans He Is Going To Serve Prison Sentence Over Deadly 2016 Shooting

February 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in June of 2023, rapper and podcaster Taxstone got into a heated situation with fellow Brooklyn MC Troy Ave. It all went down in 2016 in New York City at the Irving Plaza. Both were at the T.I. concert at the time and a fight broke out leading to a fatality and several injuries. Troy’s bodyguard Ronald McPhatter was the one who unfortunately lost his life. Taxstone blamed the incident on Troy Ave in his defense, imploring that he egged everything on, leading to him pulling the gun out in self-defense. However, the court did not buy it, and they handed him a 35-year prison sentence.

Troy only had to do one year in jail for everything, though. But, according to HipHopDX, he is seemingly heading back to the court room to turn himself in. The veteran rapper announced this on his Instagram by way of short video. “About to run up in the court, you might not see me for a while but just know the streets is a myth. Somebody shot at me. Instead of laying down and dying, I’d have been a hero, a martyr. I take the gun and bust back.”

Troy Ave Leaves His Fans With A Message

All that Troy asks is that he receives support from his fanbase. “Y’all keep supporting and keep running it. And send prayers; prayers count more than anything … I’m up out of here.” This news kind of came out of nowhere so there is not much information on when he is going to court, how long his prison sentence is, etc. So, stay with us to follow the rest of this developing story.

What are your thoughts on Troy Ave turning himself in for the events surrounding the 2016 Taxstone debacle? How long do you think he will be behind bars for? Do you think this is unjust?

Kodak Black Still In Prison Despite Dropped Drug Possession Charge

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black is still in significant legal trouble and behind bars right now, despite a judge dismissing his drug possession charges stemming from a December 2023 arrest. Moreover, according to The Associated Press, Judge Barbara Duffy dropped this charge on Friday (February 9), but she and the court ordered him to stay in prison. This is because the Florida rapper still faces evidence tampering charges in this specific case, and if those are dismissed, only then will he see freedom. Concerning this December 7 arrest, prosecutors could not verify whether or not his claims of actually having an oxycodone prescription are true.

Furthermore, law enforcement officials searched Kodak Black’s vehicle that day in Plantation, Florida. They found him sleeping in his Bentley’s driver’s seat. They claimed they found a substance similar to cocaine within, which he tried to discard of and even ingest orally. Still, the 26-year-old maintained that this was not cocaine at all, but rather the aforementioned and prescribed oxycodone in his possession. Not only that, but he claimed that this was to deal with injuries sustained during a nightclub shooting in Los Angeles in February of 2022.

This arrest caused Yak’s bond to be revoked, and got hit with the two aforementioned charges plus illegal parking. However, his lawyer Bradford Cohen hopes that this will lead to a dismissal of the evidence tampering charge, as well. “I wasn’t surprised,” he stated concerning Judge Duffy’s decision to drop the drug charges, according to the Sun-Sentinel. “Whenever a court follows the rule of law, I’m never surprised. I’m surprised when they don’t follow the rule of law, that’s when I’m surprised.” Not only does Kodak Black’s attorney want him free from jail, but he also wants his bond reinstated.

With my friends for over 20 years, @skywriter.esq and Fred Haddad.” For more news and the latest updates on Kodak Black, come back to HNHH.

Chrisean Rock Dubbed A “Clown” For Calling Blueface A Changed Man

February 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock and Blueface are the couple that just will not go away. Although they have seemingly broken up and gotten back together hundreds of times, they still continue their toxic stream. Overall, they seemed pretty well done just a few months ago. Chrisean gave birth to their child and refused to let Blue into the kid’s life. However, she has renewed her love for him and even got a tattoo of his mugshot on her face. Moreover, she has been visiting him in jail, where he will likely remain until July.

Her devotion to Blueface has led to a whole lot of criticism online. Although in typical Chrisean Rock fashion, she does not seem to care. Overall, she has decided to ride with her man, and haters be damned. In fact, last night, she hopped on Instagram Live where she offered up an explanation for her love of the rapper. As she explains below, Blue is a changed man who isn’t just prison-talking her. She seems to believe things will be different this time around, and you can’t help but admire the optimism.

Chrisean Rock Still Loves Blueface

A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez)

In the comments section of the Live Bitez post above, fans were not so convinced that Blueface is any different than he used to be. In fact, some went so far as to call Chrisean a clown for her naivety. “She need to watch love after lockup they all lie and tell multiple women the same thing and they all say the same thing she saying,” one person wrote. “Because he’s bored sis..What else would he be doing,” said another. Needless to say, no one is convinced that Blueface is any different than he was a month ago.

At this point, the Chrisean and Blueface saga will never end. Only time will tell whether or not any of this actually lasts. Let us know what you think of the couple, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed.

Blueface’s Mom Visits Him In Prison, Advocates For Megan Thee Stallion Relationship

February 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Amid her son Blueface’s current stint in jail for parole violations, Karlissa Saffold is trying her hardest to get him out. Moreover, she recently pleaded with Kim Kardashian to help advocate for his freedom, and of course shaded his on-and-off-again volatile boo Chrisean Rock in the process. However, the rapper’s mother is also making it clear that her support is not just on social media, but right there with him. TMZ caught up with her this week at Los Angeles’ Men’s Central Jail, where he’s currently held until at least this summer. Not only that, but Karlissa is already thinking about his future.

Furthermore, she reiterated one of her common sentiments that made headlines previously. Karlissa Saffold thinks Megan Thee Stallion should get with Blueface, and thinks she’d be the perfect partner for when he’s released. Unsurprisingly, she shaded the 27-year-old’s past partners who she thinks brought him down, and thinks the Houston MC is more his speed. His mother wants them to travel Europe together, and even brought up their compatible astrological signs as another proposed piece of evidence.

Karlissa Saffold Cheers For Megan Thee Stallion Fling While Visiting Blueface

However, even in Karlissa Saffold doesn’t like Chrisean Rock, she’ll still defend her son with Blueface against all opponents, including Soulja Boy’s disparaging comments about Chrisean Jr. “Y’all should not be talking about nobody’s baby,” she expressed on social media. “That’ll come back on your grandbaby. That’s off limits, that’s short man syndrome because that baby is bigger than Soulja Boy already! That’s why he’s mad. He wouldn’t say his gang affiliation on the internet, but he talking about kids. That’s just giving a m*dget on drugs.”

Meanwhile, Karlissa Saffold also spent some time defending Tina Snow from Tokyo Toni’s disses. “I’ll say this one time and one time only, Ms. Tokyo,” she expressed. “Don’t f**k with Megan. Her mama not here to take up for her, don’t f**k with her. She’s off-limits. Unless you want me to pull up and do you how I did you on that Zeus Network. That’s all I’ve got to say today.” For more news and the latest updates on Blueface, his mom, and Megan Thee Stallion, come back to HNHH.
