The good news just keeps on piling up for Kodak Black. This week, the judge in his case admitted that there was an error in processing his case, meaning that he could be coming home sooner than expected.

Kodak Black is currently serving time in a maximum-security prison for a weapons charge but, as of late, he has been telling fans that he’s on the way back home. Apparently, he might not be creating false hope because, according to legal documents, the judge in his case just admitted that there was a mistake made during his trial.

Back when he was sentenced last year, the judge says that the Florida native’s criminal history was overstated. His history of drug use was “over stated” and his criminal history was deemed to be category 2, despite the Presentence Investigation (PSI) noting that it was a category 3.

The Bureau of Prisons is said to have disregarded the information that was entered incorrectly due to a clerical error, categorizing him in the third degree of criminal history. Thus, he was sent to Big Sandy in Kentucky.

Bradford Cohen, the lawyer that got multiple weapons charges removed for the rapper in Florida, explained.

“The reason why we filed a Rule 46—Motion to Correct Clerical Error—is because in the PSI, which is a Presentence Investigation report, it listed his prior criminal history as a category level three, which obviously is more serious than a one, two, three is worse,” said Cohen. “But, they used a three in the PSI. The judge agreed with me at the time of sentencing that the level three overstates his criminal history because some of his priors were for like possession of under 20 grams of marijuana.”

Kodak Black is currently scheduled to be released on October 7, 2022 but, with this news, he may be getting out sooner.

One of the major topics inside the music industry this week pertains to Houston stand-out Megan Thee Stallion, who is currently battling her record label 1501 Certified Entertainment and its main man Carl Crawford. According to the rapper, she is unable to release new music, which has led her to file a lawsuit against the label. Some people are saying that she should not be complaining and that she simply should have paid more attention to the contract terms while others claim that she was unfairly locked into the deal. On the complete other side of the spectrum, Wendy Williams appears to have legitimately no clue what’s even going on.

Speaking about the legal dispute on her popular daytime talk show, Wendy Williams attempted to bring up the drama during her Hot Topics segment. “Meghan Thee Trainor is another one going through it,” she began, catching herself about midway through the following sentence. “She’s twenty-five now but she was only twenty when she signed her first– I mean, Megan…,” added Wendy before giving up altogether.

We all make mistakes here and there but, Wendy, this is pretty embarrassing. Her audience laughed at the mistake, giving the host a few seconds to shake her head at the flub. At least she was close…

Sometimes when people get tattoos, they get so caught up in the aesthetics that they overlook some crucial details. For example, Orlando Bloom thought a morse code tattoo would look really cool (he was right about that), but he didn’t properly verify that the dots and lines he permanently marked on his arm would spell out his son’s name. 

On Wednesday (Feb. 12), the 43-year-old actor took to Instagram to show off his fresh ink job. “new #tattoo can you guess who?,” he wrote, not anticipating the embarrassing revelation that was about to made about his well-intentioned tribute. While the little digits printed on his right forearm might have accurately represented the date and time of birth of his 9-year-old son, Flynn, the morse code dashes did not translate to his name. Turns out, they read “Frynn”. 

Before you start lamenting that Bloom will have to live with this botched marking for the rest of his days, his tattoo artist confirmed that it is not beyond repair. According to Good Morning America, Balazs Bercsenyi wrote on Instagram, “yes, a dot is missing, we know, it will be fixed.” Phew. Moral of the story, maybe don’t get a morse code tattoo if you don’t actually know/use morse code? The same should apply for roman numerals. 

With Lil Wayne releasing his brand new album Funeral today, he's out here pulling some press to promote the project, appearing on Drink Champs and chatting it up with the hosts. Considering the interview runs for just over two hours, there's a lot to unpack. However, one tidbit stands out from the video, which is officially live for your consumption. When speaking about how he rarely is in tune with current rap trends, Lil Wayne noted that some rappers have gotten upset that the legend hasn't acknowledged their hustle. One of those stars was 21 Savage.
