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

by

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.

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.

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

by

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?
