Megan Thee Stallion’s Former Bodyguard Disappears Before Tory Lanez Testimony: Report

We’re one week into Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion’s trial. Already, there’s been what feels like a year’s worth of drama and chaos unfolding. Though things started out smoothly, it wasn’t long before things began to turn. Most notably, Kelsey Harris’ testimony found her suddenly forgetting several significant details regarding the shooting.

Luckily, she previously gave an on-camera interview with the police. Due to her demeanour on the stand, the prosecution was able to play the footage for the jury. In it, the Houston rapper’s former best friend says that she saw Tory shoot Megan. On the stand, however, she only admitted to hearing gunshots ring out that night.

People have been speculating that Harris may have been “compromised” or accepted a bribe from the Canadian to stay silent. The details of that are sure to come to light in the future. For now, a more pressing matter has come forward.

According to The Shade Room, Thee Stallion’s former bodyguard, Justin Edison, was among those due to take the stand on Friday (December 16). However, it appears he’s now missing. According to a report posted on Saturday (December 17), the UCLA alum cannot be located, causing concern amongst his friends and family.

“We recently learned that Justin Edison went missing right before he was scheduled to appear in court,” the “Hot Girl Summer” artist’s attorney, Alex Spiro, told the outlet.

According to a previous story from The Sun, the missing man played college football after finishing high school in LA. Afterward, he went on to play in the Indoor Football League and eventually connected with Megan to become her bodyguard.

After the incident with Lanez, Edison spoke out on Instagram. “If you know me and you know her well enough, not only do you know I wasn’t physically present during [the] events, but you know why,” he said, revealing that he wasn’t there when his client was shot.

“If you don’t know me or her well enough, she good. I’m here now, and she’ll never step foot outside without me plus some n*ggas who don’t aim at feet present,” the former athlete went on.

Presently, the only other detail provided by TSR is that LAPD is investigating Edison’s disappearance.

6ix9ine Proposes To New Girlfriend In Dubai: Report

6ix9ine is taking cuffing season seriously this year, according to a new report from HipHopDX. Photos of the rapper in Dubai with a new woman have been making rounds online. Specifically, they’re causing speculation that the pair went through with an engagement.

Earlier this week, DJ Akademiks shared a photo on Instagram. In it, we see the “GOOBA” hitmaker on one knee in front of an elaborate floral display. “Will you marry me?” bright lights in the centre read. His partner holds his hand in a tight white dress as he proposes.

At this time, it remains unclear if the romantic moment was him legitimately popping the question, or just a set-up for a music video or other project.

Though the woman’s face remains mostly hidden in the image, she looks to be different than 6ix9ine’s most recent girlfriend, Jade. Born Rachel Wattley, the rapper’s ex found herself under arrest back in August on domestic violence charges. At the time, she allegedly punched him during a night out at a Miami club.

Footage that went viral online shows a group of women (including his then-partner of four years) arguing with the New Yorker. As they were standing in the street, one of them tries to swing at Tekashi. Immediately afterward, he heads to a car to wait for law enforcement to arrive.

According to the police report, officers saw the couple leave the club in a verbal argument. 6ix9ine also reportedly told them that Wattley assaulted him, and they observed the marks left on his face from the incident.

Witnesses helped them piece together the full story. Jade is said to have hit the 26-year-old, later attempting to grab his chain. Even with the physical altercation, though, the recording artist wasn’t interested in pressing charges.

Since then, they seem to have gone their separate ways. Most recently, 6ix9ine has been romantically linked to the ex-girlfriend of the late Pop Smoke, Alyssa Danielle.

Back in October, he publicly addressed the rumours surrounding them, as did she. Read what 6ix9ine had to say about all the drama here, and check back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.
