Kawhi Leonard’s Sister Sentenced To Life In Prison For Murder

by

Kawhi Leonard’s sister, Kimesha Williams, has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of an elderly woman in a Southern California casino in 2019. Williams ambushed 84-year-old Afaf Assad in the bathroom of the casino to rob her of a purse containing approximately $1,000 for gambling while her friend, Candace Townsel, kept watch. Assad was later found bleeding on the floor with a fractured skull. She died four days later.

“This has been a long, painful journey through the criminal court justice system,” Assad’s daughter, Mary, said in the victim impact statement, according to the report. “I still can’t believe my mother was the victim of a violent crime. … Part of me died in that hospital room with her. My father is without his wife and partner and is isolated and alone in a way we cannot begin to understand … We seek not vengeance but there needs to be a reckoning for their heinous act.”

Kimesha Williams argued that she did not kill Assad in a statement read in court by her attorney. “I am so sorry for your loss,” Williams’ statement read. She added: “I have been praying for you and your family every day. I am not responsible for the death of Mrs. Assad. Although the courts have found me guilty of the charges, we all know the truth, and that there is one judge, and that is God, and that he knows the truth.”

Leonard has not commented on the sentencing. He’s currently sitting out of the Clippers’ first-round playoff series against the Phoenix Suns due to a knee injury. Without Leonard, the Clippers are currently down 3-1 in the series to the Suns. The 31-year-old star scored 38 and 31 points in the first two games of the series. It is unclear when Leonard will be able to return to the court.

Tupac’s Sister Blasts Trump’s Attorney For Comparing The Two

by

Donald Trump’s attorney’s recent comments about the former president being like Tupac and Biggie caught some heat from the late rapper’s sister. Moreover, attorney Alina Habbais claimed that these recent “false” claims bolster the reality TV star’s brand. “Donald Trump is Tupac. Donald Trump is Biggie Smalls,” Habbais told Benny Johnson. “But no, Donald Trump is his own brand. He is everything. This is just going to boost him. We have seen it in the polls. This is not a question. This is a fact.”

Of course, these comparisons elicited strong reactions online, from both hardcore hip-hop fans and political commentators alike. When comparing the two, Set Shakur said that there’s very little overlap between her late brother and the indicted political figure. “My brother was measured by his integrity, his principles and personal and collective responsibility,” she remarked to TMZ. Not only that, she called Habbais’ assessment “blasphemous.” While the West Coast legend took responsibility for his 1994 assault case, she went on, she’s not seeing the same level of accountability in Trump. In response to the attorney’s claims about exposure, Set remarked that Tupac’s popularity didn’t stem form his controversies, but rather the power of his music.

Trump & Tupac Cannot Compare, Set Shakur Remarks

Furthermore, Habbais made these statements about Tupac just as Trump landed in New York to face charges of fraud and the results of other investigations. While people expect him to turn himself in on Tuesday (April 4), anything could happen in this highly publicized and politically divisive case. On one hand, these investigations sought to hold Trump accountable for hush money sent to porn star Stormy Daniels and other things like tax evasion and further counts of fraud. On the other, his supporters believe this is a rigged and witch-hunt-style takedown of the business mogul.

Given his presidential run for 2024 and his complete denial of any wrongdoing, this should make for an interesting development in this election cycle. However, it’s clear that Habbais’ words incited and provoked conversation rather than speaking to the rapper’s fanbase. With that in mind, public favor amid the Republican Party, and especially amid his detractors, will likely turn even more against the 76-year-old in the coming weeks. Hopefully justice is served. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Donald Trump and Tupac.

Young Thug’s Sister Angela Grier Passes Away: Report

by

According to some Instagram posts from members of Young Thug’s family, his older sister Angela Grier tragically passed away recently. Moreover, initial reports based themselves on Thug’s sister Dolly White’s Instagram page, where she reposted a picture of Grier previously shared by Lil Keed’s mother. Furthermore, White captioned her picture with multiple heart-broken emojis and a crying face, and also shared some tender clips to her Instagram story. For example, she included a video of people lifting balloons into the air in honor of her. As of writing this article, details concerning her untimely loss are scarce and mostly unknown.

While Grier hasn’t been as frequent in the headlines as some of the YSL rapper’s other family members, she was one of many who continued to support and look out for him throughout his career and especially now during his legal woes. Such news is even harder to stomach considering the “Best Friend” MC is currently behind bars. According to many reports online, Grier had just visited Thugger in jail. While his family said that he’s keeping his head up amid the process, this must be a tough and difficult time for them all.

RIP Young Thug’s Sister Angela Grier

Still, her memory will live on through her loved ones as they continue to display unity and a determination to look positively towards the future. Recently, Dolly White gave fans an update on Young Thug’s outlook, sharing a picture of him flexing his prison gains via a video call. Even though these updates aren’t as consequential as ones from court, they uplift fans and give them another side to view the case from. There’s not just an accused gang leader on trial with other codefendants, but also a friend, loved one, brother, father, and positive soul. Many videos emerged of Thug looking defeated in court, but just as many spread of his positive attitude through it all in the trial room.

Meanwhile, his true culpability and accountability for accused crimes remains to be seen. However, the family maintains that he will return home soon, and have consistently advocated for justice in this case. Hopefully, Thugger can see his family soon and they can all heal following this tragic loss. For more updates on Young Thug and his trial, stick around on HNHH.
Rest In Peace Angela Grier.

Young Thug’s Sister Unfollows Gunna As Trial Begins

by

Young Thug’s sister, HiDoraah, has unfollowed Gunna on Instagram as jury selection begins in the YSL RICO case. Gunna accepted a plea deal, last month, and received a time-served, suspended sentence.

The unfollowing comes after Gunna shared his first post on the platform since accepting the deal. The post features a photo of himself near a home studio.

“N****s acting like they switching to a side But it’s only one side,” Gunna captioned the photo. “#YslTheLabel #FreeThug&Yak GUNNA BACC!!!!!”

HiDoraah wasn’t the only one with a negative response to the post. 6in9ine called him out in the comments for referring to YSL as a “label” after admitting to it being a “gang” as part of his guilty plea.

Young Thug’s brother Unfoonk also appeared to take issue with Gunna’s presence on social media.

“All Dat Internet Shit Not P,” he wrote on his Instagram Story, using Gunna’s signature P emoji before adding, “I’m been humble with u n****s.”

Thug’s other sister, Dolly White, previously defended Gunna after he took the plea deal. Speaking on social media, she explained that calling Gunna a switch isn’t going to help Thug.

“Can y’all please stop saying that people ratted, and people this-and-that?” White said at the time. “It’s not making anybody better, it’s not making nothing good, bro. Nothing that’s going on is…helping my brother. So can y’all please stop that? Can y’all please stop? If y’all love Gunna, then y’all give him support. Like, what the fuck y’all over there doing? Y’all tripping.”

“I haven’t posted him because I was just told that nobody really supposed to have communications with each other right now,” she added. “So I don’t want to mess up his shit, so why would I just and post it?”
