Young Buck’s Catalog to be Auctioned to Settle Debts with 50 Cent and More

Young Buck Recalls 50 Cent Discouraging G-Unit From Taking Vitamin Water Deal

Young Buck‘s catalog will be heading to an auction block. His catalog will be sold to settle debts with creditors and 50 Cent.

According to AllHipHop, the sale resulted from financial difficulties leading to a 2020 bankruptcy.

Songvest, a music royalties brokerage firm, states the catalog’s value is $700,000. The sum is the total of performance royalties, mechanical royalties, publishing royalties, and song copyrights. Buck owes 50 Cent alone $250,000, which was given as a loan.

In 2001, Buck didn’t provide royalty statements to ASCAP and also hid $35,000 from his publishing company, Mouth Full of Ice. He also failed to report income after post-bankruptcy, which included $108,000 from Sound Exchange, $32,000 from Select-O-Hits, and $47,000 in Universal Music Publishing royalties.

In February, Young Buck was arrested in Nashville on vandalism charges for kicking the door at his ex-girlfriend’s residence and damaging the seats in her car, which was all caught on home surveillance video.

Brown’s ex-girlfriend told officers that she had cameras around her home. When she noticed that Buck was gone, she went outside and saw that he had kicked and damaged the passenger and driver’s side of her car in the driveway.

Young Buck fled the scene after the incident but was later detained during a traffic stop. He has since been released on $1,000 bail.

Snoop Dogg’s Storefront Vandalized With Anti-Crip Graffiti

by

Iconic rapper Snoop Dogg recently had his Funko Pop! store, “Tha Dogg House,” vandalized. The Inglewood, CA location was vandalized sometime at the end of last week, and has links to the rapper’s affiliation with SoCal street gang the Crips. The vandalism included anti-Crip messaging in red paint, likely a reference to Crips’ rival gang, the Bloods. One message included “CK,” or “Crips killer.” Snoop’s mural posted in front of the store was also covered with red paint. The storefront has already been cleaned up.

Snoop Dogg’s store opened in January of this year, selling Funko Pop! and GOLD figurines based on the rapper and his life. “Tha Dogg House” was created shortly after a partnership between Funko Pop! and Snoop was announced. Prior to opening day, Snoop Dogg shared about the venture, “This new store stays true to who I am as an entrepreneur and rapper.” He added, “I can’t wait for my fans to experience, touch, and feel it. Once you see it, it’s like no other thing in the world. ‘Tha Dogg House’ will blow your mind.”

CEO of Funko Pop! Andrew Perlmutter also said about the venture, “Snoop Dogg is an entertainment powerhouse and remains one of the most innovative and versatile figures in the entertainment industry.” He added, “We look forward to the debut of our newest retail experience and our partnership with Snoop whose expertise and impact on pop culture further elevates the brand’s opportunity to connect with fandoms within music and sports.”

Last week, Snoop Dogg teamed up with up-and-coming rapper Scar Lip to share a remix of one of her tracks. The remix of “This Is New York” is called “This Is Cali,” and came shortly after Scar Lip shared the DMs of her asking Snoop to collaborate. Her message read, “Hey Snoop, I’m a big fan & love your music. I have a song called ‘This is New York,’ and wanted to know if you’d get on the remix.” Snoop replied, saying, “F*ck yes.” She later shared a screenshot of the two rappers FaceTiming, revealing that fans could expect to see the remix soon.

Tina Knowles’ Home Vandalized, Suspect Taken Into Custody

by

Tina Knowles was recently the victim of a man vandalizing her Los Angeles home, TMZ reports. Moreover, Solange and Beyoncé’s mother had an unwelcome visitor throwing rocks at her mailbox last Saturday (April 1), damaging her property and causing a disturbance. When the Los Angeles Police department got a call about the disturbance, they rushed to the designer’s home to respond to the incident. However, the suspect allegedly ran off on foot while being pursued by police units, including a helicopter. Eventually, they nabbed him after a foot pursuit and the suspect is now in police custody.

Furthermore, law enforcement informed the publication that the man behaved erratically during his arrest. Given that circumstance, authorities placed him on a 5150 psychiatric hold. Interestingly enough, TMZ also reported that Knowles suffered minimal damages to her mailbox, and fortunately, it seems like the rest of her property remains unscathed. Also, the part-time actress also apparently declined to press charges or even file an official police report. It seems like she let this incident brush off her shoulder, and hopefully she isn’t the victim of further attacks.

Fortunately, other news surrounding Tina Knowles leaned toward much less dangerous developments as of late. For example, she recently expressed pride in her granddaughter Rumi, one of Beyoncé’s children, already expressing an interest in fashion. “Rumi loves fashion,” she expressed during an interview. “She picks out her own clothes. We recently went to Disneyland, and she put on her Mickey Mouse shorts. Then she wanted to put on a sparkly printed top which had the same colors. It actually looked really cute. Blue was like, ‘My mom would be mad because she’s doing too much,.’ And Rumi said, ‘This is my style.’ She’s 5. I was impressed. She wore outrageous stuff, but she has an amazing sense of style. So you let them do their own thing. You can’t say, ‘No, this doesn’t go with this or that.’”

Meanwhile, the designer is often spending quality time with her grandchildren in wholesome fashion. A couple of years ago, people went crazy over Blue Ivy doing Tina’s makeup. Hopefully the next headline about the Knowles matriarch involves more of that kind of content and less headlines about harassers and mailbox vandals. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Tina Knowles.

Pop Smoke’s Mural Reportedly Vandalized

by

It’s been nearly three years now since Pop Smoke’s tragic murder from a fatal home invasion gone wrong. He was only 20 years old. Unfortunately, a mural put up in his memory was allegedly vandalized yesterday.

DJ Akademiks took to his Instagram to report the news. “Someone vandalized Pop Smoke’s mural in Brooklyn,” reads the caption from the streamer. “Word to my dead[,] yall n*ccas are mad childish like wtf,” says a screenshot of a Snapchat of the damage. Based on the photo, it appears as though somebody is responsible for writing “Woo K” over top of the mural.

The mural was finished shortly after his passing, in July of 2020. It honors the late rapper’s legacy in Canarsie, Brooklyn, where Pop grew up. According to Complex, Hattas Public Murals is responsible for undertaking and painting the tribute.

“Our hearts go out to the family, friends and fans of the late and beloved Pop Smoke. Much love to you all. And thank you to the community of #Canarsie for your overwhelming support as we painted this memorial mural,” the company wrote in an Instagram afterwards.

Four men have since been charged in Pop Smoke’s murder. They broke into the rented home while intending to rob the rapper of his jewelry. They took his watch during the invasion and subsequently sold it for $2,000. The alleged shooter is only 15 years old.

Ever since the “Dior” rapper’s untimely death, his estate has released two posthumous albums. The first of which is Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon. Releasing just five months after his passing, the project serves as a celebration of life and honors his legacy through songs like “Make It Rain” and “Got It On Me.”

The second one, Faith, saw a release in July of 2021. However, it isn’t as successful as its predecessor in continuing the Brooklyn native’s legacy. Fans and publications alike critique the album for containing too much filler content. Additionally, a common sentiment is that it has too many songs that are seemingly unfinished.

Long Live Pop Smoke. It’s certainly heartbreaking to see someone do this to a mural meant to honor him and his music.
