China Mac Calls Troy Ave A “Rat On Steroids”

by

A New York beef is brewing between China Mac and Troy Ave, with both sending shots at each other over social media. Moreover, it all seemed to have started when Troy was in Mac’s IG Live saying that he wasn’t really from New York. Then, Mac retorted in a video calling Ave “a rat on steroids,” saying he took inspiration from the likes of 6ix9ine. However, the taunting didn’t stop there, as Mac went to the alleged spot where Troy Ave once got shot to get some food and posted about it on social media. Furthermore, he asked Troy Ave to pull up on Troy Avenue and fight him for $500K.

In another IG Live session, it seems like Troy directed the following message: “China Mac u soft DONT make me put u on that summer jam screen.” Of course, this follows another related incident regarding the two, although Mac was actually a mediator in this case. Wack 100 and Maino fought on IG Live over the latter’s claim that he stole Troy Ave’s fake chain, despite having wished him well after his Irving Plaza shooting.

China Mac & Troy Ave Clash

In fact, that shooting caused a lot of headlines in recent weeks, as rival Taxstone was found guilty of committing said crime. Of course, Troy was quick to respond with some diss tracks against him, which then prompted Wack and Maino’s feud. It seems like everyone even slightly close to the issue is taking sides, and China Mac is no different. Moreover, the social media antics are so blurry that it’s unclear whether these attacks were completely unprompted from Troy against Mac or if there’s history there. The latter is likely true, but Mac is certainly taking things a step further.

Meanwhile, China Mac recently blasted Charleston White for racist anti-Asian remarks, which resulted in a canceled show with DJ Akademiks. “Let me make this very clear, Charleston White don’t speak for all Black people,” he responded in a video. “He don’t! This ain’t a Black and Asian thing. This is a Charleston White thing, so we gon’ keep it on Charleston White. Charleston White, you a b***h, right? You also got a lotta foul stuff to say about my people, and we gon’ hold you accountable for that. Facts.” Considering this history, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Troy Ave, China Mac, and this web of beef.

Yo Gotti’s Restaurant Prive Shooting, Surveillance Video Surfaces: WATCH

by

More insight is being shared about a tragedy that occurred outside of Yo Gotti’s restaurant Prive. The Memphis eatery is a staple in the city, mainly because of Gotti’s reach over his hometown. The Rap mogul does his best to stay out of trouble, and he’s been enjoying his time with his girlfriend, Angela Simmons. However, news of a shooting threw a wrench in his plans, and now, TMZ Hip Hop returns with an update.

According to reports, the shooting turned deadly, and two victims lost their lives. Five others were also reportedly injured during the incident. Prior to gunfire ringing out, a wild brawl reportedly ensued, and it was captured by surveillance footage. TMZ reported that the corridor inside Prive was crowded, and the fray had to do with two men: one in a red jacket and the other in blue. A group of people looked to have an intense back-and-forth before the man in red turned physical. A drink was then thrown before a fight erupted.

Yo Gotti Entangled In Controversy

He may not have been at the scene, but Yo Gotti has found his name attached to the incident. The surfacing of the video has only made things worse, as the extent of the altercation is seen in great detail. Victims were being punched even after being knocked to the floor. The man in blue was even on crutches but tossed them to join in on the chaos. Security did their best to calm everyone involved, but it only caused the group to move from inside the restaurant to the parking lot.

Once outside, things turned deadly. When the surveillance video cuts to the parking lot, one person has already been shot. The man in blue remains without his crutches and hopping around. Then, he’s seen pointing a gun at a man in black before opening fire. Despite the detailed footage, authorities are reportedly still searching for suspects. The status of the investigation is unclear, but it was noted that Yo Gotti wasn’t in Memphis at the time of the tragedy. Further, what launched the fight in the first place also hasn’t been shared. Watch the footage above.

Quando Rondo Says He “Don’t Even Remember” The Night Of King Von’s Death

by

Fresh off of the release of his new album Recovery, Quando Rondo continues to face questions surrounding his feud with Lil Durk’s crew. The “Soul Reaper” rapper recently sat down with Say Cheese TV! where he was confronted with questions about Lil Durk and King Von. On the question of the Durk look-a-like, Quando Rondo denied that he attempted to make a mockery out of the “What Happened To Virgil” rapper. He explained that a lot of people have blonde hair these days, including his friend who starred in the video. In Quando’s view, it was a mere coincidence.

However, Say Cheese TV! also dove into the topic of King Von’s death. If you recall, it was Quando’s associate, Lul Tim, who’s accused of being the triggerman on the night that the Chicago rapper died in Atlanta. And while Quando seemingly gloated about Von’s death in his music and social media after the fact, he feigned ignorance when he was asked about the situation specifically. “I don’t even remember that night,” he said as he sparked a blunt. “That was so long ago. You know how that go.”

Quando Rondo Pleads The Fifth 

While Quando Rondo said that he can’t remember what happened “two months ago,” and stated that he only remembers when the next Jordan’s drop. However, a lot of people in the comments of MyMixtapez’s post pointed out the scuffle that occurred between Quando Rondo and King Von right before the shooting. Others clowned Quando Rondo, especially after his interview with Angela Yee where he said he experienced an out-of-body experience. “Big Brah… it was the outer body experience that I don’t remember big brah,” one person wrote.

King Von died on November 6th, 2020 in Atlanta following an altercation between himself and Quando Rondo’s associate. Lul Tim was later charged in relation to the fatal shooting though he later posted bond and was released. However, the shooting spurred high tension between Lil Durk’s OTF camp and NBA Youngboy’s Never Broke Again clique, who have continued to take shots at each other over on records and social media. Most recently, Quando Rondo and Lil Durk appeared to throw shade at each other over release dates, though the former said he had issues with his label, not Durk. 

Shooting At Yo Gotti’s Restaurant Leaves 2 People Dead: Report

by

A shooting at a Memphis restaurant owned by Yo Gotti became a crime scene last night after a mass shooting left two people dead. According to TMZ and Fox News, police arrived at Memphis restaurant Prive at 11:30 p.m. following reports of gunfire erupting in the parking lot. Police said that an altercation took place inside Yo Gotti’s restaurant and eventually, spilled outside where the lethal shooting took place and left multiple casualties. 

The reports say police found one man dead in the parking lot once they arrived at the scene. A second person passed away after they arrived at the hospital. However, the police also reported that four men and a woman were also shot at Yo Gotti’s establishment before they were taken to the hospital. The conditions of the five victims haven’t been disclosed yet. At this point, it’s unclear what prompted the shooting, though police are seeking information from anyone with knowledge of the situation.

Assailants At Large Following Shooting At Yo Gotti’s Restaurant

None of the victims of the shooting were members of Yo Gotti’s family, nor was he in the city when the incident took place. Police are still looking into all information surrounding the shooting, especially as they try to pinpoint what triggered the altercation. For now, they’re still looking for the perpetrators, who they said fled the scene immediately after the shooting. Yo Gotti’s restaurant appears to be shut down for now as new photos emerged of crime tape surrounding the establishment, which you can see above.

Unfortunately, police aren’t strangers to patrolling Prive. The restaurant was forced to shut down temporarily in 2021 following the death of Young Dolph as city officials and authorities felt as though the Yo Gotti-owned restaurant could be the site of retaliation. Police patrolled Prive after Dolph was shot to death 10 miles away from the restaurant. Thankfully, nothing occurred and the restaurant remained unscathed. HNHH is keeping our prayers with all of the victims and their families during this time. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates surrounding the shooting and if Yo Gotti issues a response on the matter.

Blueface Sued For Strip Club Shooting

by

Blueface just received a civil lawsuit from a woman who claimed to be injured during a strip club shooting involving the rapper in Las Vegas. Moreover, the incident occurred at the now defunct Euphoric Gentlemen’s Club on October 8, 2022. According to local Vegas news station CBS 8 News‘s report on Thursday (March 23), Jasmine Brooks is suing both the rapper and the establishment in question. Furthermore, Blue stands accused of firing shots outside of the venue, and Brooke said that she sustained alleged injuries as a result.

From what lawsuit documents obtained by the news station indicate, the woman specifically blamed the California rapper and security for her troubles. She claimed to suffer “sustained injuries to her body, specifically her face as a result of defendants’ inadequate, unreasonable and egregiously deficient security of the property.” However, the lawsuit doesn’t specify how anyone injured her or the nature of the damages. Still, it adds that the 26-year-old “breached his duty of reasonable care by carrying and firing a firearm into a crowded room of people. At all relevant times, [the gentlemen’s club] allowed defendant Blueface to be a guest on their premises while in possession of an unidentified firearm,” the lawsuit read.

Strip Club Shooting Gets Blueface Sued

Not only that, but Brooke reportedly seeks a jury trial and wants more than $15,000 in damages. Moreover, this adds to an already significant legal pile that the “Thotiana” MC faced as a result of the incident. Furthermore, authorities arrested him on November 15 of that year, just about a month after the shooting occurred. Also, officials charged him with attempted murder after a club patron claimed his crew jumped him for making a joke about their car.

In fact, it seems like Blueface took such offense to the joke that he shot at the patron’s vehicle as they left. Previously, he confronted the rapper’s entourage from his car and asked them, “Who hit me?” When someone reportedly approached the vehicle, the patron drove away, which is when Blue took the shots. What’s more is that the club shut down because of this reason, and they also sued the rapper. All in all, it seems like he’ll have to deal with a lot of legal pressure regarding this case. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Blueface.

Takeoff Shooting Detailed By Survivor, Sydney Leday: “I Remember Running Away”

by

It was a devastating loss when Takeoff was murdered last November. Since then, investigators have been piecing together what happened that fateful evening in a Houston bowling alley. Takeoff was with several others, including Quavo and J. Prince’s family members, in the early morning of November 1. It’s reported that a disagreement over a dice game turned deadly, with Takeoff being the only victim. Police claim he wasn’t even a part of the argument, just an innocent bystander.

However, he wasn’t the only person shot during the altercation. A woman named Sydney Leday was also injured, and after fighting for her life, she’s detailing her experience. “Everything happened within a few seconds,” she told The Shade Room during an interview. Halloween marked Leday’s 24th birthday, and she was excited to be out and about in Houston. She never expected to be shot in the head that evening. “As soon as I saw a weapon, I tried to hurry up and get out of there.”

Sydney Leday Shares Her Story

According to Sydney, she enjoyed a night on the town with her friends when they were invited to an after hours party at the bowling alley. “I’ve never been in this situation or known anybody that had to go through what I’m going through,” said Leday. “I’m just working on trying to get back to a normal [life] as much as possible.” The party was reportedly “thrown by J. Prince,” said The Shade Room. Sydney added, “I would say, we got there about one o’clock in the morning.” However, when the party seemed to be coming to an end, Leday noticed a shift in the energy.

“Everybody seemed like they knew each other,” she noted. Leday and her friend then watched on as the dice game unfolded. “We got outside, and it was time for everybody to go home. That’s when things changed.” The victim recalled seeing Quavo arguing with a man before other patrons came outside to see what was happening. Initially, it wasn’t a fight, but the two men were discussing the game that reportedly concerned $100K. When things turned serious, Leday remembered being “caught off guard.” Then, someone “[pulled] out a weapon,” which was Leday’s cue that it was time to go.

She Didn’t Know She Was Shot

Sydney didn’t hear the gunshots until she was at an escalator. “I remember running away,” but then suddenly, she crumbled to the ground. Her friend tried to pick her up. “I felt the sting in my head,” she said. “I didn’t realize what actually happened to me, and fortunately, I had on a wig and a wig cap. So, I took the wig off and noticed that I had a lot of blood.” Her friend rushed her to the hospital, and Leday began having seizures during the journey. She was in a coma for days and is grateful to be alive. Yet, her road to recovery is far from over. Watch the report above to see what else The Shade Room uncovered in court documents.
