According to ABC affiliate WSB-TV, a judge in Fulton County, Georgia has found probable cause to charge rappers Lil Durk and King Von with attempted murder. Durk is in some deep trouble, as he “is seen on video shooting a man near The Varsity while he was driving.”
According to Fulton County records, viewed by Pitchfork, Lil Durk and King Von are each facing five felony charges: Criminal Attempt to Commit Murder; Aggravated Assault; Participation in Criminal Street Gang Activity; Possession of Firearm During the Commission of a Felony; and Possession of Firearm by a Convicted Felon.
The incident in question happened on February 5th outside the restaurant The Varsity, in which Alexander Witherspoon was found dead from gunshot wounds. Durk turned himself in a few weeks back in connection with the shooting, telling the media “I have nothing to hide”.
So either that is not really Durk in the video, or he wasn’t aware of the video before he claimed he had nothing to hide. Well I mean, he can’t really hide the video so he is right on some level.
Meek Mill lost $200,000 when the Toronto Raptors beat the Golden State Warriors last night. Though Meek has mentioned the bet in passing on Twitter before, evidence of the big loss came from a video of Meek and a friend who says, “$200K down, he good. Easy, come on. Super easy.”
As mentioned, Meek had referred to this bet in the past. On May 30th, he tweeted, “I’m betting whatever on the series if any of y’all rich guys from Toronto believe in y’all team against the warriors!!!!!”
I’m betting whatever on the series if any of y’all rich guys from Toronto believe in y’all team against the warriors!!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
After recently announcing that Jay Z is the first rapper to become a billionaire, Forbes has released its list of hip hop’s next billionaires. Most interestingly, Kanye West has surpassed Drake to become the 4th wealthiest rapper. As the report attests, the reason for Kanye’s climb is due to his partnership with Adidas.
Dre is the second richest after Jay Z, at $800 million. Despite selling Beats by Dre to Apple for $3 billion, Forbes makes it clear that Dre is not a billionaire.
Diddy is 3rd, making him the highest paid producer. His fortune is approximately $740 million. Forbes is confident that he might pass Dre saying, “Ciroc, the main driver of his fortune, is growing again after case volumes fell from all-time highs in recent years—making the impresario perhaps the most likely candidate to join JAY-Z in the billion-dollar club.”
We’ll see who will join Jay Z as hip hop’s second billionaire. Comment your pick.
According to CNN, Cuba Gooding Jr. has been charged with forcible touching, a misdemeanor, related to an alleged incident this past weekend in New York City.
Gooding’s attorney, Mark Heller, said during a press conference that his client is compliant with police and expects to be fully exonerated. He will enter into a not guilty plea.
Heller went into further detail about the case in a press conference: “In my 50 years, almost, of practicing law, I have never seen a case like this one because there is not a scintilla of criminal culpability that can be attributed to Mr. Cuba Gooding Jr. after I have extensively, with my staff, reviewed the video of almost two hours which reflects the entire event for which we are here today. Mr. Gooding has not acted inappropriately in any shape or form. Nothing in the video could even be considered ambiguous and I, frankly, am shocked and horrified that this case is being prosecuted.”
Basically, a 29 year old woman filed a police report that Gooding Jr. had grabbed her breast while Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge in Manhattan on Sunday.
Gooding Jr. denies these claims.
There was a similar situation in 2012, in which he was accused of pushing a bartender, but the charges were later dropped.
We’ll see what happens with the actor…let us know what you think in the comment section.
In Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Ariana Grande choked up during the line “Wish I could say, ‘Thank You’ to Malcom” of her song“Thank You, Next”. The audience finished the line for her, and cheered in honor of Mac. This was Ariana’s first time doing a concert in Mac’s hometown, and she was clearly very emotional.
She also couldn’t finish the opening song “Raindrops (An Angel Cried)” as she struggled to fight back tears.
The audience appreciated the performance and many commended her honor of her ex-boyfriend. This also included leaving a seat open for Mac, and playing his music through the loudspeakers before the show. That trend had started in March, but it felt that much more meaningful in Pittsburgh.
