Rapper Heavy Game Freestyles About Nerve Damage From French Montana Video Shooting

by

In January, a celebration for French Montana turned into a shooting in Miami Gardens, leaving several people injured. French walked away from the incident unscathed and later released a statement. “Last night, I was in Miami celebrating the release of my CB6 mixtape w/ friends at a local restaurant,” he wrote at the time. “We unfortunately were at the wrong place, at the wrong time when an incident took place that left people hurt. Our thoughts & prayers are w/ the victims & families at this time.”

One month after the shooting, rapper Rob49, who was also present during the mayhem, emerged on Instagram to show off his injuries. Now, rapper Heavy Game spits a freestyle with Supa Cindy of Miami’s 99 Jamz, and in his rhymes, he details his harrowing experience. “I heard the first two, and then I felt my shirt move,” Heavy rapped in a video. “Gunpower in the air like perfume.“

French Montana Reacts To Heavy’s Bars

“My shirt gettin’ more wet / My homie taking short breaths / Came out war vets / Arm full of stitches so I hardly could lift it / it’s gettin’ in the way of all my business / I lost faith in forgiveness / 308 hit me / thank God it wasn’t hallows / no pain pills prescribed / But that’s a hard pill to swallow / Type of pain that make you wanna hear they last words / Nerve damage, gettin’ on my last nerve / Feds got my phone and they don’t even need the password.” In the comments, French Montana dropped off a fire emoji.

According to our sources, Heavy sustained several injuries during the incident. He was reportedly shot in the chest and on his side, near his armpit. On his Instagram, you can see Heavy spent some time with his arm in a sling. He even posted a photo with Kodak Black showing he was on the mend.

Road To Recovery

In February, Rob49 shared a similar image showing that he, too, was on the road to recovery. “Thank You To Everybody Who Been Keeping Me In Dey Prayers,” he wrote alongside a photo of his arm, too, in a sling. “I Want Let Yall Kno I Been Doing Way Better & Thank God For Reminding Me Tah Live Everyday Like It’s My Last! What That Being Said Let’s FLOOD And Take OVA!! BIGGEST VULTURE.” Check out Heavy Game recounting his ordeal above.

Pooh Shiesty Ordered To Pay Shooting Victims $156K In Restitution

by

Authorities recently ordered Pooh Shiesty to pay restitution to victims of a 2020 shooting he was involved in. According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the Memphis rapper must pay $156,585 to those injured in the incident as part of his sentence. Also, the documents indicate that earnings made while behind bars must contribute to this total payment sum. As readers may remember, officials took Shiesty in for a 2020 shooting involving himself and other actors in a Miami parking lot, which left 2 injured.

Furthermore, surveillance video from the scene shows the artist sitting in a McLaren with an assault rifle amid gunfire. After his arrest, the court sentenced him to 63 months in prison last April. Previously, he pled guilty to one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Not only that, but Pooh must undergo drug and alcohol treatment programs and serve three years of supervised release upon his sentence’s end. Since this whole ordeal, we’ve heard from him sporadically, but not consistently. However, his most recent message to fans last week left many perplexed.

Pooh Shiesty Returns On Instagram Before Being Ordered To Pay Restitution To Victims

Meanwhile, his mentor Gucci Mane recently spoke out against the 23-year-old’s harsh living conditions behind bars. “We do not pay attention to how inmates in the US are treated,” the 1017 Records mogul wrote on Instagram. “@poohshiesty has been sent to a prison over 1500 miles from his home, 23 hr lockdown and given empty food trays.” Though things don’t look bright for the “Back In Blood” rapper, fans were happy to hear from him again. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news, updates, and messages from Pooh Shiesty.

Taxstone Trial Begins, Troy Ave To Testify

by

After countless delays, Taxstone’s murder trial is finally underway. Daryl Campbell, known professionally as Taxstone, was caught in a shootout during a T.I. concert in New York City. Shots were fired at the venue, Irving Plaza, after the former rapper drew beef with Roland “Troy Ave” Collins. As a result, Troy Ave’s bodyguard Ronald “Banga” McPhatter was killed. While Taxstone has already pleaded guilty to gun possession, sentencing will be decided after the murder trial, according to HipHopDX.

Six years after his initial arrest, Taxstone takes to the courts again. The state has two cooperating witnesses with close ties to the case: Troy Ave and Malcolm Kinyon. The former is also charged with his connection to the murder and weapon possession, however, he signed a cooperation agreement with the Manhattan District’s Attorney Office. Kinyon, on the other hand, had no direct correlation to the murder scene. But Taxstone allegedly had confided to Kinyon after the incident. Kinyon is also under fire with the law with hefty drug and firearm trafficking charges.

Taxstone Trial Finally Underway

Last month, Troy Ave sat down with My Expert Opinion podcast host Math Hoffa to reflect on the ordeal. Despite his charges, Troy remains his story of acting in self-defense. CCTV footage reveals Troy firing a firearm, but according to Troy, that’s not the full story. He explained to Hoffa, “I mean you see a lot of n*ggas running, ducking for cover, and you know n*ggas that’s supposed to be standing around n*ggas they folded, I stood tall. It’s like you come in here you bought to do work, and before you walk in the door there’s a hater there blocking your way, and the hater killed your friend and tried to kill you, and everything is self-defense.”

Troy Ave continues to defend himself by revealing how his fight-or-flight spirit kicked in when he was threatened by a gun. He describes, “I’m not running… bullets in me. I’m gonna take the gun, I’m gonna beat you n*gga and I’m gonna blow at you, but what the media shows is me shooting.” Troy also recalls the moments when his bodyguard went down, “I really picked up my man body, n*gga. Like, I picked him up. All these n*ggas that was there… Maino was there, any n*gga there, they didn’t help me pick up Banga’s body, they walked past.” For the latest details on the Taxstone murder trial, be sure to check out HNHH!

Lil Tjay Reveals PTSD Struggles

by

Lil Tjay recently opened up about his struggles with PTSD, presumably after he suffered seven gunshot wounds in an attempted New Jersey robbery. Moreover, the trauma and difficulty he faced seems to continue to affect his life today. Recently, the rapper posted a message on Twitter referring to unspecified struggles he’s going through. Furthermore, he expressed that post-traumatic stress disorder hit him hard and causes concern for his well-being. While such a harrowing situation is hard to imagine, hopefully letting those emotions out will help him in the long run.

“I be feeling like I’m gonna die but I ain’t trynna go,” the 21-year-old stated. “That’s y I be steady going thru what I go thru I got ptsd.” Also, the Bronx native might refer to his recent string of arrests in this Twitter message. While he was on his way to shoot a video with Ice Spice, police pulled him over in a traffic stop. Reportedly, officers found a handgun in his vehicle and arrested him, though he exited on a $90,000 bond days later. Less than two weeks following that incident, authorities once again arrested Tjay on gun charges. However, his lawyer explained that said arrest came from a misunderstanding concerning the first.

“He was excused from appearing in court last Friday by the arraignment judge,” attorney Dawn Florio elaborated to AllHipHop. “Another judge revoked his bond and put him back in jail for missing court on Friday even though he was told by the first judge that he did not have [to] appear.” After his family paid for release, he now awaits his trial, set for Tuesday (February 14). Moreover, the “F.N” MC suffered a coma for five days after last year’s armed robbery and required emergency surgery due to a bullet in his neck. Later, he spoke to Rolling Stone of how that experience affected him.

“I got airlifted into the sky at 2:22, and it was June 22, 2022,” he expressed. “When I searched those numbers, it was like ‘God’s giving you the opportunity to change.’ I questioned God before that, I don’t anymore. I know God’s real, a billion percent. I’m not on no tough-guy s**t, or on some angel s**t. I feel like a miracle kid, I feel like my purpose is bigger than I know. I’m just trying to figure out what life got in store for me. I know that I’m destined to win.” Hopefully he’s in better spirits, and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Lil Tjay.

Kodak Black, Justin Bieber & More Sued For 2022 Super Bowl Party Shooting

by

Kodak Black and Justin Bieber are being sued following a shooting at Justin’s L.A. afterparty during Super Bowl weekend last year. Moreover, two men who claimed to have been struck by bullets during the altercation are suing the artists and a few other entities. For example, the venue, the Hwood Group and Revolve Group, the City of L.A., the City of West Hollywood, and L.A. County are also being sued for damages. Furthermore, the alleged victims’ representative is Gloria Allred, and Kodak’s legal team dismissed the suit’s validity.

“I have seen a lot of bad complaints in my day,” Yak’s attorney Bradford Cohen told TMZ. “This is the most poorly drafted complaint I have seen in 26 years. I expect Kodak to be dismissed from this suit fairly quickly. There is zero specificity in the complaint and Ms. Allred groups the defendants all together instead of making specific allegations against each. It’s law school 101. I am embarrassed for Ms. Allred that she actually signed her name to that complaint.”

The Shooting

Moreover, according to the lawsuit, Mark Schaefer and Adam Rahman suffered severe injuries from the 2022 shooting. Said incident occurred at The Nice Guy in Los Angeles, which is why the suit named all those entities. In fact, Kodak himself also suffered bullet wounds that night, though fortunately he recovered. According to the Florida rapper’s crew, he helped a friend fight off an unknown assailant as they left the venue. Later, the rapper threw himself into the fight, shots broke out shortly after, and people dispersed. However, in the legal documents, the alleged victims claimed that the “Super Gremlin” star actually instigated the incident. They believe he tried to harm others and blame him for causing the shooting.

Meanwhile, Schaefer and Rahman also stated that security at the venue was lax. For that reason, they likely attribute some of the blame to the Canadian singer, as it was his afterparty. Still, they complained of inept security guards and a lack of accountability when it came to promoters and the venue. Even though this suit might be dismissed, it might just spark a wider conversation on these topics. Regardless, come back to HNHH for more updates on this story and whatever happens this Super Bowl weekend.
