Alleged YSL Member Stabs YFN Lucci In Prison In New Clip From YSL Trial

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Although Young Thug is now a free man and YFN Lucci could soon be free as well, the YSL RICO trial continues with other codefendants. The reason why we mention Lucci’s case is because of a new piece of video evidence that surfaced during YSL trial proceedings. For those unaware, he was stabbed by an alleged YSL member, Jayden Myrick (also known as YSL Tripp), in March of 2022 – per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution – before the YSL RICO indictment or arrests had even arrived. This is notable due to the purported feud between both groups. In fact, this incident reportedly contributed heavily to how prosecutors built that case.

Now, prosecutors shared the footage of the YFN Lucci stabbing during the YSL RICO trial on Tuesday (November 5). This was during the testimony of Aaron Wolford, the retired head of Fulton County Jail’s security (the prison where Lucci was stabbed), according to journalist Meghann Cuniff. It was the 156th day in the case with two remaining defendants: Shannon Stillwell and Deamonte Kendrick, also known as Yak Gotti. Prosecutors claim that this supports the notion that YSL members carried out criminal acts on behalf of the collective. Also, they allege that this stabbing resulted in the retaliatory murder of Shymel Drinks, per Cuniff. You can watch footage of the trial below, but viewer discretion is advised.

YSL Trial Sees Footage Of Alleged Member Stabbing YFN Lucci

Furthermore, it’s important to make note of Jayden Myrick, the alleged YSL member who stabbed YFN Lucci. The court ordered him to undergo a mental evaluation after he claimed that Donald Trump offered him legal advice. Nevertheless, we still don’t know how else there could be overlap between Lucci and YSL’s situations. As for the former, a recently reported parole update indicates that he could be out of jail by January of next year.

As for the rest of the YSL trial, a juror recently vowed to oppose the prosecution due to the case’s lengthy nature. That remains one of the most controversial parts of this whole legal process, but evidence continues to emerge. We still don’t know the timeline for the two remaining codefendants. But YFN Lucci could at least go home soon, if reports are accurate.

Kid On XXXTENTACION’s “Look At Me!” Artwork Receives 10-Year Prison Sentence For Attempted Murder

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

XXXTENTACION’s legacy is one of mainstream influence and virality. The late Florida multi-hyphenate blew up essentially overnight with a handful of tracks. However, 2015’s “Look At Me!” was perhaps the one most responsible. The aggressive trap rager had a sticky chorus and memorable performance from X. Also helping the track was the wild artwork. The image of a young boy shoving a lit blunt up his nose was almost instantly recognizable. A pre-teen at the time, Zachary Stoddard, was a close friend of X’s, and he was also looking to forge a career in hip-hop. However, the progress on that goal is being put to the wayside. The kid from the “Look At Me!” cover will now be going to prison on a 10-year sentence.

According to XXL, Zachary, or KidPronto, was recently hit with attempted second-degree murder and battery. The decision was made on May 10, and Zachary made a plea in connection to the 2019 stabbing of Keith Tatton. Additionally, he pleaded no contest earlier this year. On top of his time in state prison, Zachary will be under house arrest for two years, with three years of probation to follow.

The “Look At Me” Kid Did This Back In 2019

This all began when Stoddard grew frustrated with some of his associates for trying to leave him behind while they went to a restaurant on April 27, 2019. Things reportedly escalated quickly, and it led Stoddard to viciously stab Keith multiple times. He was admitted to the hospital and placed on life support, but he thankfully survived his injuries. Prosecutors originally attempted to try Stoddard as an adult, even though he was just 16 at the time. Stoddard also served prison time in 2018 as well, right around the time that XXX was tragically murdered.

What are your thoughts on the kid on the “Look At Me!” cover art receiving a 10-year prison sentence? Is this still one of XXXTENTACION’s best songs of his career? Were you shocked when you heard this news, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

NBA YoungBoy & Yaya Mayweather Seen Moments After Stabbing In Bodycam Footage

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In April 2020, NBA YoungBoy’s then-fiancée Yaya Mayweather stabbed a woman multiple times outside of his Louisiana home. Newly-surfaced bodycam footage uploaded by YouTube channel Raq Rarest shows YB speaking with police after the shocking incident, appearing taken aback by what he had just witnessed.

Reportedly, Mayweather’s victim Lapattra Lashai Jacobs had a child with the YB, and had instructed Mayweather to leave the house when she arrived. Mayweather refused, and the situation quickly turned violent. Allegedly, Mayweather stormed into the home and retrieved two knives, which she used to stab Jacobs two times. Jacobs was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital where she was treated for her injuries. She reportedly underwent surgery for lacerations on her arm, and has since made a full recovery.

NBA YoungBoy Speaks With Police Officers

Another clip posted to the same YouTube channel shows NBA YoungBoy sitting in handcuffs in the back of a police car after the incident. He repeatedly told officers that he didn’t want to discuss what he had just seen, and claimed that Mayweather didn’t do anything wrong. “The victim will tell you,” he explained. He later demanded that officers remove his handcuffs, and they refused.

Similar footage of Mayweather shows her getting emotional when learning that Jacobs had to be taken to a hospital, also insisting that NBA YoungBoy was innocent. Ultimately, Mayweather pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in April of 2022. She was sentenced to six years of probation. Prosecutors also recommended that she receive six years of deferred adjunction, as well as 40 hours of community service.

Young Thug Back In Court As Trial Resumes

January 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug’s gang and racketeering trial resumed in Atlanta, Georgia on Tuesday after a three-week postponement. Judge Ural Glanville pushed back the trial in December due to the stabbing of one of the rapper’s co-defendants, Shannon Stillwell. He is also present in the Fulton County Courthouse.

Thug is on trial for allegedly participating in gang activity as well as conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. His charges stem from being the leader of YSL, which the prosecution claims has ties to the national Bloods organization.

Shannon Stillwell was stabbed back on December 10. The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office previously detailed the attack in a statement provided to XXL. “On the evening of Sunday, December 10, 2023, a fight occurred between Willie Brown and Shannon Jackson at the Rice Street Jail,” it read. “During the fight, Jackson was stabbed multiple times by Brown. Jackson is in stable condition. Brown and Jackson were housed in the same zone. It is unknown what led to the fight. Willie Brown was initially arrested by the East Point Police Department for several charges on July 22, 2020 and was being held without bond. Jackson has been in custody since March 17, 2022.”

Young Thug Appears In Court

Thug has maintained his innocence during the case. His lawyer, Brian Steele, says he “committed no crime whatsoever” and that YSL is simply a record label. Check out a live stream of Thug’s court appearance above. Be on the lookout for further updates on Young Thug’s trial on HotNewHipHop.

Casanova Hit With Stabbing Charge, Takes Aim At The Justice System

December 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Casanova took to social media to vent about his frustrations with the justice system. The performer is currently in prison for his alleged ties to what prosecutors call “a vicious street gang.” According to him, he’s recently been hit with a stabbing charge on top of his existing federal charges.

“Early christmas gift they just charge me for a stabbing in NJ,” he told fans in an Instagram Story yesterday. “YOU CANT EVEN DEFEND YOUR SELF THEY JUST WANT YOU TO LAYDOWN AND DIE/ back to court on Friday.” Clearly, the Haitian-American rapper is fed up with all of his legal trouble. He was sentenced to 15 years back in July, despite renouncing his ties to the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation Bloods in a letter to the judge. The letter reportedly caused some trouble for him behind bars, and he’s since formally appealed his sentence.

Casanova Reacts To His Latest Charge

At the beginning of this month, the judge dismissed his motion for early release, arguing that his sentence was already on the low end. According to the judge, he’s also yet to prove that he’s not a danger to his community. Aside from his RICO charges, Casanova is also spending time in prison for allegedly attacking a woman in a diner in 2018. He’s accused of violently grabbing her phone from her and deleting a video of himself after he caught her filming.

Last month, two of Casanova’s co-defendants were convicted of racketeering and more. The men, Dwight “Dick Wolf” Reid and Christopher “Beagle” Erskine, are accused of being leaders within the gang. Erskine was allegedly a “street leader” while Reid was allegedly the “gang’s founder and prison leader.” They’re both now eligible for life sentences.

Derek Chauvin’s Prison Stabber Was A Mexican Mafia Leader Turned FBI Informant

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, it was reported that ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who’s convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed in prison. The incident took place at Tucson’s Federal Correctional Institution on November 24. He was hospitalized following the attack, and later reported to be in stable condition.

Soon after, it was revealed that his fellow inmate John Turscak stabbed him 22 times in the prison’s law library with a makeshift knife. He was charged with attempted murder. According to authorities, Turscak claimed he would have killed Chauvin had correctional officers not intervened. He also allegedly told officials that he had been planning the attack for around a month, intentionally choosing Black Friday to carry out the crime. Apparently, he chose the date as a nod to the Black Lives Matter movement and the Black Hand symbol associated with the Mexican Mafia.

Now, a new report by VladTV has uncovered even more about Turscak and his past. According to the outlet, he was serving 30 years on racketeering and murder conspiracy charges. He had only two years to go when he decided to carry out his attack on Chauvin. Before his incarceration, he was a high-ranking member of the Mexican Mafia who went by the name “Stranger.” In the late 90s, he signed an agreement with the FBI to provide them with intel in exchange for money. As part of the deal, he agreed to stop “any unlawful activities except insofar as the FBI determines that such participation is necessary to this investigation.”

They later learned that he continued his illegal activities, however, and eventually charged him in an alleged murder plot. “Turscak harbored obvious animosity toward the government due to the government’s decision to prosecute him for the unauthorized criminal conduct he engaged in while an FBI informant,” a filing by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Dugdale reads. What do you think of the new information surfacing about Derek Chauvin’s prison attacker? Are you surprised by his history?

Derek Chauvin’s Prison Attacker Charged With Attempted Murder After Stabbing Him 22 Times

December 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last week, it was reported that ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who’s famously convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed in prison. The attack took place at Tucson’s Federal Correctional Institution on November 24. He was immediately brought to a nearby hospital to be treated for his injuries. Shortly after, he was reported to be in stable condition.

Now, new details of the attack have emerged, and allegedly, the man behind it was looking to cause serious damage. Inmate John Turscak reportedly used a makeshift knife to stab Chauvin 22 times in the prison’s library before officers intervened. Prosecutors also claim that the 52-year-old told the officers that he would have killed the ex-cop if they hadn’t stepped in. He was charged with attempted murder today (December 1), for the incident.

Derek Chauvin’s Attacker Allegedly Planned To Kill Him

According to TMZ, Turscak also allegedly told officials that he planned the attack to take place on Black Friday for around a month. Reportedly, he chose this date as a nod to the Black Lives Matter movement. After news of the attack went public, Chauvin’s mother Carolyn Pawlenty came forward, claiming that nobody informed her that her son had been stabbed. “How the hell do these news agencies know and his own mother doesn’t even know? I can’t even think what to say. I haven’t been to bed and made a path in my kitchen and living room floor by pacing,” she told Alpha News.

Bill Mohrman, Chauvin’s attorney, also claimed that he was having trouble reaching the Bureau of Prisons following the reports. “How the family members who are in charge of Derek’s decisions regarding his personal medical care and his emergency contact were not informed after his stabbing further indicates the institution’s poor procedures and lack of institutional control,” he said. What do you think of Derek Chauvin getting stabbed 22 times in prison? How about his attacker being charged with attempted murder?

Derek Chauvin Family Stunned By Stabbing, Still Seeking Answers

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Derek Chauvin is someone that the majority of people online hate with a burning passion. Overall, this is because he is the officer responsible for the death of George Floyd. His trial was something that everyone was tuning in for. In the end, he was convicted of murdering the man and he was sentenced to a lengthy stay in prison. However, things went a bit awry for Chauvin recently as he was reportedly stabbed. This took place just a few days after his bid to appeal the decision was struck down.

Overall, many were kind of stunned by this news. Originally, it was said that he was in serious condition. Now, however, he has been put in stable condition. As we previously reported, his family found out about the news on social media. They were not made aware by the prison, which led to some confusion. Subsequently, his legal team is getting involved, according to TMZ. Gregory M. Erickson, Chauvin’s lawyer, is now trying to contact the prison for answers.

As it turns out, however, the prison is not responding to his calls. While the prison eventually let them know of his condition, they have yet to give any other details. For instance, no one knows who the inmate who did it was. Furthermore, there is no information surrounding what eventually led to the stabbing. His family continues to look for answers, but they cannot get any.
