Foogiano, a rapper signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records, has been indicted on federal gun charges stemming from a mass shooting in South Carolina on July 5, 2020. The rapper was a headline performer at Lavish Lounge, where a shooting broke out during his performance. Two people died and eight more were injured.

Foogiano, real name Kwame Brown, has been indicted on two counts of illegal possession of a firearm by a felon.

The 28-year-old appeared in court on Friday, and he was arrested on Monday when documents were unsealed. The artist, best known for his song “Molly” which was remixed by DaBaby, was reportedly not responsible for firing any weapons at the concert. A Georgia-based man, Jarquez Kezavion Cooper, was arrested last year in connection to the shooting and he was charged with murder. Authorities believe there are others who are thought to be responsible among Foogiano’s camp, but they have not been arrested.

Foogiano has not commented on his indictment, nor has his lawyer.

As more information is released, we will keep you posted.

A few weeks ago, it was rumored that Foo had beaten his case and would be returning home soon. He is one of the brightest young stars on 1017 Records, alongside Pooh Shiesty, who is also currently incarcerated, Big Scarr, Enchanting, and others.

Steph Curry has broken yet another NBA record as he now has the most three-pointers in the history of the game. No one thought a player would be able to break this record so quickly into their career, but Curry has managed to do it. In fact, Curry was able to complete the record at Madison Square Garden, which is one of the most sacred buildings in basketball.

Ray Allen was in attendance to watch his record be broken, and immediately after Curry’s shot, he congratulated the Golden State Warriors superstar.

After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr got to speak about the record, and how Curry reacted to it in the locker room. As you will read, Curry was all smiles, and rightfully so.

“Steph in the locker room was vintage Steph,” Kerr told Mark Haynes of ClutchPoints. “He was joyful. Grateful. He talked to the team about how much they mean to him. How much the game means to him and the process. It’s just he is who he is. That’s the beauty of Steph. He’s so authentic and so genuine. I thought the night was perfect. It pretty much encapsulated who he is and his reaction to it was, was perfect.”

It was also a great night for the Warriors as a whole as they won the game and improved their record to 23-5. It was yet another example of just how great this team truly is.

Steph Curry had a historic night on Tuesday as he broke Ray Allen’s three-point record. It took Curry 500 less attempts to break Allen’s mark, which just goes to show how great of a shooter Curry really is. The Golden State Warriors superstar completely changed the way the game is played, and there is no doubt that he will go down as a top five player when all is said and done, especially if he wins another title.

As you can see, Allen was actually there to congratulate Curry, as the Warriors PG did at Madison Square Garden, which is one of the most historic arenas in the league. Needless to say, it was a storybook way to break the record.

After the game, Curry decided to give respect to some of the guys he has been playing with the longest. In the clip below, Curry gifted Rolexes to Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green, and as you can see, they were both very excited about this token of appreciation. The watches were engraved, and it was the perfect token of gratitude following a record-breaking night.

Of course, these three have won three NBA titles together, and they are looking to get a fourth on this season. While Klay Thompson wasn’t in the video, we hope he got one too, especially since he is the second Splash Brother.

Steph Curry is one of the best players in the world, and this season, he has been playing at an MVP level. Last night, the Warriors point guard ended up making history as he broke Ray Allen’s three-point record. Curry needed just two three-pointers against the Knicks to get it done, and he was able to accomplish that in the first quarter.

As you can see in the clip below, Curry’s record-breaking three was a beautiful one, and it was yet another example of just how phenomenal of a player he is. After breaking the record, Curry was even congratulated by Allen himself, who showed up to the game.

Following the win, Curry spoke to the media where he gave his thoughts on breaking the record. As you can imagine, Curry was stoked about the achievement, and now, he will get to build upon his record, that could take a while to be broken again. 

“This is something I’ve been dreaming about, and I don’t know when the first dream happened. I love to shoot the ball, something I’ve been doing since I was 3 years old,” Curry said according to ClutchPoints. “When you go through the ranks, you love the work that you put in.  You love the results that come from it. I told them it’d been an amazing journey being a Warrior for these 12 and a half years, all the guys that have set screens for me, passed me the ball, bought into the system, that creates that beautiful Warriors style and brand of basketball, all that plays into that moment.”

Curry is already cemented as one of the biggest legends in the history of the game, and with this record, he has built a nice case for himself as one of the top five players to ever do it.

Rapper Hitman Holla may have only intended for his sex tape to be seen by a select few people but as you know, the internet just doesn’t work like that. Once you post something, it’s fair game for others to share, remix, and comment on your content. The Wild ‘N Out star learned that the hard way after reportedly posting an intimate video of himself and his girlfriend, influencer Cinnamon, to his “close friends” story on Instagram before it was leaked.

Hitman Holla is presently a trending topic on Twitter as people frantically search for the video that was leaked, which is allegedly located somewhere on the platform. The video reportedly shows Hitman and Cinnamon engaging in sexual intercourse. It is unclear if the clip was accidentally uploaded to Hitman’s socials but it’s obvious that one of his supposed “close friends” screen-recorded the video and shared it for some clout.

Because of the nature of the video, we will not be including it, or a link to it, in this article.

This comes just weeks after Nick Cannon, the host of Wild ‘N Out, suffered a leak of his own explicit photos. The comedian was hosting an episode of his show when fans screenshotted one specific moment where Nick had a bulge in his pants, sharing the picture and commenting on Twitter and other platforms.

Take a look at how people are reacting to Hitman Holla’s video below.

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets had a lot to deal with last night as they took on the Toronto Raptors in Brooklyn. Heading into the match, they had seven players out with COVID-19, which means Kevin Durant was being tasked with carrying the load. The game was by no means easy, and it ended up going to overtime. Luckily for the Nets, they won the game 131-129, all thanks to KD’s 34-13-11 triple double.

Fans were praising KD after the game, and some analysts were also giving the Nets superstar his flowers. One such person was Skip Bayless, who said “The Best Player on the Planet was at it again tonight in Brooklyn, going assassin in overtime for the COVID-rocked Nets. Nothing like Kevin Durant. You watch, Bron?”

The inclusion of LeBron in this tweet was pretty unnecessary, and KD let Skip know about it. Shortly after the game, Durant hopped on Twitter and clapped back at Bayless, saying “I really don’t like u.” The tweet ended up going pretty viral as it amassed 275K likes and 55K retweets. Needless to say, Durant was able to share a sentiment that others had already been feeling.

Skip Bayless is someone who has always rubbed people the wrong way, especially when it comes to his LeBron slander. This time around, however, it’s one of LeBron’s rivals who is sticking up for him. In all honesty, you have to admire the solidarity here.

Love & Hip Hop fans are seeing an influx in news about the series now that the latest Family Reunion series is upon us. For this series, producers have once again brought together several characters from the Love & Hip Hop pantheon and put them all in one place as they address conflicts, rumors, and tense relationships.

Erica Mena makes an appearance, as does her ex-boyfriend, Rich Dollaz. Peter Gunz is also featured with two mothers of his children, Amina Buddafly and Tara Wallace, and additionally, Cyn Santana, also Erica’s ex, has been cast, albeit without her ex-fiancé, Joe Budden.

However, there have been rumors that Cyn has been getting close to former NBA star Daniel “Boobie” Gibson, ex-husband to Keyshia Cole. Gibson and Cole’s divorce was finalized a little over a year ago following years of back and forths, and it looks as if Gibson is ready to move on with his fellow Love & Hip Hop star.

In a clip that was shared online, Cyn and Gibson took a step away from the cast to speak about their flirtation.

“I’ve never met Boobie before. We’ve interacted on social media and stuff, but we’ve never really met,” Cyn said in a green screen interview. “He’s a beautiful, beautiful man.” In a scene, Gibson admitted to Cyn that he knew there would be drama during taping, “but under any other circumstance, I wouldn’t get this much time with you.”

“Lately, I’ve been spending most of my time trying to be a better father, a better friend, and a better businessman,” Gibson added in his green screen sitdown. “But right now, I’m just in the process of trying to add love to my business and career.” Other cast members have commented that they like these two together, so those Love & Hip Hop, six degrees of separation romances continues.

Check out the clip below.

To those who actually keep up with the Kardashians, North West has been a source of entertainment. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s eldest is only eight-years-old but she has been making waves on social media. Kim recently launched a TikTok account with her daughter where they post selfies and execute online challenges, but the young West has been causing a bit of havoc after she went on Livestream and showed off her mansion.

While running through her home, North expressed that she really isn’t permitted to go Live, but she did it anyway. She floated from room to room, even interrupting Kim’s relaxation time, and now, her cousin Mason Disick has shown concern over her behavior.

Kim uploaded a screenshot of Mason, son of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, writing a lengthy message about North’s recent behaviors.

“I don’t wanna disrespect north but I don’t think she should do the lives unless someone is with her because people are always screen recording and she might tell information that isn’t correct and stuff like that,” the Instagram DM reads. “I did the exact same thing as she did i would so the lives and now I regret saying one of the things that I said.” He added, “Just in case for safety.”

Kim responded by saying that North feels bad about going Live and wouldn’t do so in the future, but maybe if Mason spoke with her about it one on one, she would understand better. “I’d love to talk to her about it,” he said.

“A helpful king,” Kim wrote over one screenshot. Check it out below.

Chaos reportedly erupted in Miami and the public is scrambling to piece together the details of what exactly occurred. Not long ago, reports began to surface that Freddie Gibbs and Jim Jones had some sort of altercation at Prime 112 restaurant in Miami. The venue is a local hotspot favorite for celebrities, but it turned into fight night, according to reports, after the two rappers and their entourages bumped into one another.

According to VladTV, Jones was leaving the restaurant with his crew when they ran into Gibbs and his team as they were making their way inside. Years ago, Gibbs dissed Jones, reportedly calling him “p*ssy,” and the ongoing beef allegedly reared its ugly head.

Reports state that Jones initiated contact by approaching Gibbs over his prior remarks. The two rappers were said to have been arguing when a person in Jones’s entourage “punched Gibbs in the face,” reported VladTV. The outlet went on to say that is when things went haywire and Jones allegedly hit Gibbs, leading into Gibb’s bodyguard somehow falling to the ground where he was “hit and kicked in the face.”

We’re sure that each side of this rumored incident will share their sides of the story in the days—and possibly even hours—to come, but people who claim to have witnessed the fight have stated that Jones and his crew did some damage.
