Rapper Bankroll Fresh was shot and killed on March 4th, 2016, after an altercation involving one of his childhood friends, fellow rapper No Plug, occurred at Atlanta’s Street Execs Studios. Months after Fresh’s death, Plug admitted to his involvement in the murder, but claimed that it was self-defense and that Fresh actually fired the first shots. Neither he nor any of his entourage present were charged for the shooting.

Plug brought the whole incident to mind recently when he posted a photo on Sunday of himself standing in front of a car at a gas station with the caption, “Last N*gga Tried Me Made Da T.V.” The lyric comes from Plug’s “1st Day Out” track, which he dropped not too long after Fresh’s passing. It seems that Plug is alluding to murdering Fresh by bringing up this lyric that’s several years old, due to the notion that, after he “tried” Plug by shooting first, Fresh wound up on TV as news of his death spread. Some angry Fresh fans flooded the comments with their outrage at Plug’s audacity. One commented “Been Told You You Got Lucky,” another said, “REST UP BANKROLL FRESH IAN FORGET ABOUT YOU SHORTY??,” and yet another commenter asserted, “He was a way better rapper than u too u talentless goof.”

The strange cases set against Mally Mall continues. Last year, there were reports that the former Love & Hip Hop Hollywood star and record producer was in trouble with the law. There were accusations that he’d participated in both human and exotic animal trafficking. In April 2019, a few of his exotic pets were reportedly seized by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Mall was arrested.

Mally Mall would later deny all allegations against him, but he was sued for rape and sex trafficking. The rape case was reportedly dropped in May 2019, but then he faced charges regarding running a prostitution business in Las Vegas from 2002 to 2014. In the latter case, Mall pleaded guilty back in October 2019 and is said to be sentenced on January 21.

On Friday, TMZ reported that 26-year-old fitness model Quashay Davis has sued Mall for “sexual battery, false imprisonment, gender violence and infliction of emotional and physical distress.” According to the outlet, in January 2019, Quashay traveled from Dallas to Los Angeles to meet with Mall about expanding her fitness business. They met at his home where she was offered liquor and introduced to a former porn star named Jayla Foxx. Quashay alleges that she was drugged because she “blacked out” and “the next thing she remembered was waking up to a masseuse massaging her.”

Then, according to the court documents, Mall slapped Quashay to help her regain full consciousness before telling her “You’re my new bitch,” and “You’re my Jayla number two.” Quashay said she feared for her life when he “tried to get her to do cocaine, then forced her to perform oral sex on him — before roughly penetrating her.” 

The woman, who said Mall called her a “stupid dumb n****r,” claims that Mall admitted to drugging her with molly. Quashay said she floated in and out of consciousness for the remainder of the day and at one point she woke up and saw a number of random naked women “in a hypersexualized environment.” She alleges that she was able to leave Mall’s home the next day and immediately went to a doctor who saw that her “injuries were consistent with a rape.”

Mall’s representative issued a statement to TMZ on behalf of the producer: “This is a blatant attempt at extortion. There is absolutely no factual basis or merit in this case.”

 The trial of Tekashi 6ix9ine may have come to an end but there are a few defendants in the case who are aiming to overturn their conviction. Among them is Anthony “Harv” Ellison who was convicted of kidnapping 6ix9ine in 2018, among other charges. He’s demanded that the court throw out the guilty verdict alleging 6ix9ine’s testimony was filled with lies over the three days he took the stand, especially when it came down to his time with Nine Trey as well as the kidnapping itself.

According to PageSix, the judge has shot down Ellison’s attempt at having the conviction overturned. The Manhattan judge wrote to Ellison that the jurors believed the testimony made by Tekashi during the trial.

“The evidence of Ellison’s commission of this crime was overwhelming,” the judge began. “Ellison’s argument as to Hernandez’s ostensible lack of credibility on the kidnapping count is particularly unpersuasive,” the judge continued. 

Ellison’s theory that he had colluded with Hernandez to stage a fake kidnapping was unsupported by any evidence at trial,” the judge wrote. “And Ellison, who was in a position to attest as to his circumstances surrounding that incident — including, if true, that it was a staged, and not actual, kidnapping — elected not to testify.”

Ellison’s sentencing is set for February 26th. We will keep you updated on any news pertaining to Ellison’s court date. 

The Cook County judge handling Jussie Smollett‘s hoax attack case has ordered a sweeping search warrant directed at Google in order to obtain one-year’s worth of data documentation from Jussie Smollett and his manager, according to the Chicago Tribune. The judge is demanding that Google hand over Smollett’s emails, photos, location data and private messages as part of an on-going investigation involving accusations that the Empire star staged a hate crime attack that allegedly resulted in a physical and verbal assault and a noose being tied around Smollett’s neck in his hometown of Chicago. 

Smollett was indicted on sixteen felony counts for allegedly staging a racial and homophobic attack carried out by brothers, Abel and Ola Osundairo, who later expressed their regret in their involvement in the hoax act of violence. With the Osundairo brothers now cooperating with the prosecution and Smollett urging the court to drop the case against him, the Chicago judge has decided to move forward with court proceedings against the actor.

The Cook County judge is also requiring that Google provide the court with Smollett’s email drafts, deleted messages, Google Drive files, Google Voice texts, and web browsing history as further evidence for their prosecution. With the Chicago judicial system pressing further in Smollett’s hoax attack case and Lee Daniels announcing that Smollett will not be returning for the season finale of Empire, Smollett could eventually end up serving time for filing a false report and heedlessly utilizing police resources for a fraudulent crime. Stick with HNHH as details unfold in Jussie Smollett’s upcoming criminal proceedings. 

Two women were taken into custody on Wednesday on allegations that they attempted to fraud the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation. The organization was launched by family members who lost their loved ones during the tragic attack at Sandy Hook Elementary in December 2012. On that day, 20-year-old Adam Lanza entered the school and opened fire killing 26 people: 20 children and 6 adult staff members.

The Sandy Hook Promise Foundation lists its mission as hoping “to  create a culture engaged in preventing shootings, violence, and other harmful acts in schools. Sandy Hook Promise is a moderate, above-the-politics organization that supports sensible program and policy solutions that address the “human side” of gun violence by preventing individuals from ever getting to the point of picking up a firearm to hurt themselves or others.”

According to ABC News, the foundation wanted to host a benefit concert in San Antonio, Texas, so the nonprofit contacted booking agents Nancy Jean and Carissa Scott of reportedly Canvas Media Group. The women stated that they were responsible for scheduling events for high-profile artists, so SHP agreed to use them to secure talent. 

Then, Jean and Scott penned contracts for the event: $500K for Justin Timberlake and $600K for Bruno Mars. With the latter also came a $300K down payment to secure the December 13, 2019 concert date. There were even talks of Drake, Flo Rida, Ed Sheeran, Usher, and Lady Gaga possibly being added to the bill, but what the foundation didn’t know was that the women weren’t in contact with any of the artists or their representatives. 

ABC News reports that as time drew closer for the concert to go down, investors were confused as to why none of the artists were listing the event on their social media pages. When they realized there was no publicity at all, they contacted authorities to make sure everything was legitimate. What the FBI found was that the women used half of the money to lease a Mercedes-Benz and made $1,200 worth of purchases at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Jean and Scott were arrested while they were making their way through the John F. Kennedy Airport on Wednesday. They were arrested on charges of fraud, but it’s unclear if other charges will be added at a later date..

R. Kelly spent his 53rd birthday behind bars for thirteen felony counts including enticement of a minor, obstruction of justice, aggravated sexual assault, and more. The artist born Robert Kelly was denied bail by a judge after concerns of the artist becoming a flight risk. Despite the R&B singer being locked up behind bars, that hasn’t stopped the Pied Piper from making headlines on almost a daily basis. 

In the past week alone a second installment of the Lifetime docuseries Surviving R. Kelly debuted and a video of his two considerably young girlfriends, Azriel Clary and Jocelyn Savage fighting in his condo has surfaced on the internet. Now, with Kelz’s two lovers at odds and threatening to take legal recourse against each other, another bizarre event has occurred adding more fuel to the strange chain of events that have surrounded R. Kelly over the past couple of years. 

With January 8th being R. Kelly’s birthday, a small plane displaying a sign that read, “Happy Birthday R. Kelly, God ‘hearts’ You,” hovered over the city of Chicago yesterday afternoon. There is no source as to who exactly funded the birthday shoutout for the troubled singer/songwriter but the message was clear for the city to see as the plane circled the city for a short period of time. 

 Check out the video footage of the plane celebrating R. Kelly’s birthday obtained by Bar Stool Sports Chicago below. 

If you've been following all the updates regarding Azriel Clary, one of R. Kelly's girlfriends, you were likely surprised to see what went down yesterday in Chicago. After moving out of the disgraced singer's Trump Tower apartment, Azriel returned on Kelly's birthday to presumably pack up more of her belongings for her move to Los Angeles. When she arrived at her former place of residence, she began filming the experience for her new fans on social media, live-streaming it all and divulging tons of information about her life with the artist. Joycelyn Savage, Kelly's other girlfriend, also made an appearance in the video but she clearly was not happy about Clary's return, confronting her and even getting into a physical fight on camera. Clary told Savage that she would go to the police and have her locked up for having sexual intercourse with a minor (herself) when things got heated and after reports started flying around about Savage possibly being arrested, it has been confirmed that the 24-year-old turned herself into the authorities. 

Kifano “Shotti” Jordan, the former manager of controversial Brooklyn rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, is getting used to his surroundings. The infamous Nine Trey Bloods member was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for his role in their racketeering crimes, being exposed as one of the more active members of the group. When 6ix9ine was at the witness stand during the trials of Harv and Nuke, his kidnappers, he called out everybody that he used to run with, including Shotti. The rapper claims that his former manager was sleeping with his baby’s mother, something that has left a seriously bad taste in his rainbow grills. Shotti denies that he was ever intimate with Sara Molina, but he did previously tell a judge that he would never break, bend or fold. With that said, he could very well be holding back some information. Jordan was recently pictured from behind bars in a photo that made its way onto the internet, shared by DJ Akademiks, giving everybody a quick update on the notorious “Treyway.”

Standing between two men in grey sweatsuits, Shotti wears a red rosary necklace, which appears to be allowed in his prison center. The color choice is significant since, well, he’s a well-known member of a Blood division. Clearly, Shotti intends on staying true to his family even though he can’t be in the streets.

How is he looking? It looks like he’s keeping his head held high despite being sentenced to a lengthy term in a cell.
