October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

UK rapper and YouTuber Yung Filly received sexual assault charges for an alleged Perth, Australia incident following a Tuesday (October 8) arrest, according to local news reports per AllHipHop. Authorities apprehended him in Brisbane on Tuesday and extradited him to Perth the next day. Filly, real name Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, was hit with accusations of allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s in his hotel in Perth on September 28 after a show in the area the previous day. The 29-year-old went on Thursday (October 10) to Perth Magistrates Court and received the following charges: three counts of alleged assault causing bodily harm, four counts of alleged sexual penetration without consent and one count of allegedly impeding someone’s normal breathing or blood circulation through pressure to the neck.

“WA Police Sex Assault Squad detectives will allege on Saturday 28 September 2024, the man sexually assaulted a woman in her 20s, in his Perth hotel room after he had performed at a venue in Hillarys,” the Western Australia Police stated concerning Yung Filly’s allegations. “This investigation is ongoing and Sex Assault Squad detectives urge anyone with information relating to this matter, or any similar incidents, to call Crime Stoppers.”

Furthermore, at Yung Filly’s bail hearing later on Thursday, Magistrate Tanya Watt granted him bail, according to ABC News in Australia. She disagreed with prosecutors that the court couldn’t adequately account for his flight risk and witness interference potential. However, Watt granted Filly bail under strict conditions that ban him from contacting his alleged victim and posting about the case online. In addition, he is to remain in Western Australia, file daily status reports with local police, and cough up a $100,000 surety.

Meanwhile, various fans went to Yung Filly’s court proceedings, telling ABC News that they wanted to hear the allegations for themselves. Prosecutors also showed publicly undisclosed photos of the alleged incident to the magistrate, which they claim prove that any alleged sexual activity couldn’t have been consensual. On the other hand, Filly’s defense opposed an outright social media ban and requested that the court not publicly discuss the material facts of the case in order to not risk his right to a fair trial.

Central Cee Slips & Slides On Thrilling “CC FREESTYLE”

May 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Central Cee and Dave have been the two faces of the United Kingdom rap scene for the last couple of years. They have been bringing in a lot of listeners, especially from the country across the pond, and it has been great to see. Of course, you still have names like Skepta and Giggs doing their thing as well. But the young cats’ growth will be important going forward. Both do not drop all that often, but when they do the tracks are rarely duds. That is true when it comes to the latest single from Central Cee, “CC FREESTYLE.”

According to Genius, this off-the-dome exercise is a rumored single for Cee’s supposed upcoming debut album. The tentative title, CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS, does not have any release date information out, so this could very well be speculation. Regardless of whether or not “CC FREESTYLE” makes it on to a tape, Cench spazzed on this cut. This is just his second release of 2024, following up his love track “I Will” from February.

Listen To “CC FREESTYLE” By Central Cee

On this freestyle, Central Cee spits with great proficiency over Flukes’ classic grime instrumental “I Have Nothing.” This beat/sample may also sound familiar if you are a hardcore Travis Scott fan. La Flame tried his hand at a similar instrumental when he sped up Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” on “guidance.” That was a deeper cut off of his 2016 sophomore album Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “CC FREESTYLE” by Central Cee? Is this one of his best rapping performances he has ever put forth, why or why not? Does this get you hyped for his rumored debut album CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

I was gone, went away for a bit
And now I’m back like, “Wait a minute,” I’m back
UK Rap ain’t dead, I mean, some guys are, but I don’t relate
Live Nation can vouch, I’m paid, they gave me an M just to go on stage
Please don’t panic, we need another one, DJ Khaled
It’s under control ’cause Cee will manage

Fredo Sentenced To Five Years In Dubai Prison For Drug Possession, Reports Say

January 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We have some recent breaking news coming from UK rapper Fredo. The London, England will be in prison for five years in Dubai for drug possession. Interestingly, this is not the 29-year-old’s first run-in with the Dubai authorities. About three months ago, Fredo was arrested on similar charges in the United Arab Emirates for cannabis possession. Now, he will be finding himself back in familiar territory with this latest news bomb. For some reason, Fredo cannot keep himself out of trouble.

A couple of months before the weed fiasco, the trap rapper from across the pond also was having legal issues in his hometown. According to NME, authorities in North London handed down a three-year driving ban after speeding. All of that went down in June. These issues are/have been in the midst of him dropping his fourth studio album, Unfinished Business.

This Is Not Fredo’s First Offense In Dubai

The project hit streaming services on August 11 with two features from Eric IV and Tiggs Da Author. Fredo rapped over a lot of dark and cold production and it features some of his biggest songs. Tracks like “My Story,” “Woo,” “Scoreboard,” and “Quarter Past 3,” were some major highlights amongst fans. Hopefully, he can get out of this rut he is in and stay out of trouble.

What are your thoughts on Fredo’s five-year prison sentence in Dubai for drug possession? Is this one of the more boneheaded things a rapper has done this year? Will his sentence remain or change at all, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Kay-O Convicted Of Murder After Bragging About It In Music Video

December 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

UK drill rapper Kay-O, born Kammar Henry-Richards, was convicted of murder earlier this week. The conviction comes after he seemingly bragged about his alleged crimes in a music video. The 25-year-old, along with three of his associates, was charged in the fatal shooting of Kacey Boothe. Boothe was also 25 when he was shot outside of a community center in north-east London in 2022. The group was also found guilty of planning to kill Khalid Samante. A date for Kay-O’s sentencing will be scheduled in 2024.

Samante, who’s believed to have been their intended target, was hosting a birthday party for his son at the community center when the shooting took place. After the attack, Boothe was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, but unfortunately succumbed to his injuries. During their trial, the men were accused of being associated with rival gangs. The jury was told that the shooting took place “against a background of violent incidents.”

Kay-O’s Sentencing Will Be Scheduled Next Year

According to prosecutors, the murder weapon was fired on seven separate occasions. Boothe’s older brother Kyle was also reportedly a victim of a shooting with the weapon in 2020. His injuries were not fatal. They additionally accuse the rapper of bragging about the attack on Boothe in one of his music videos. The video in question is for his track “Laughing Stock,” which they claim references the fact that they used the gun to shoot both Boothe and his brother.

“A boast was being made that the same ‘Sig’ (gun) had been used to shoot both Kacey Boothe and his elder brother Kyle Boothe,” Prosecutor Anthony Orchard KC claims. “Big Boothe and Little got hit, same sig, that’s a sour family/Both got slapped at functions, neck and head, handguns come handy,” the lyrics read. Orchard adds that at the time of the song’s release, this information was unknown to authorities, and known to only those involved in the crime. What do you think of Kay-O getting convicted of murder after he appeared to brag about it in his music video?
