[News] Affiliate of 6ix9ine charged with 5 years in prison

A member of Tekashie 6ix9ine’s gang has officially been sentenced to five years in prison because of racketeering. 

As reported by Complex, Jensel “Ish” Butler was the first man to get sentenced in the large-scale case involving “GUMMO” rapper 6ix9ine. Butler admitted to being apart of the 2018 robbery in Times Square of 50 Cent’s media company. 

As HotNewHipHopNews astutely points out, this is the lightest sentence that Butler could have received for this type of crime. Butler was apparently more in the background of Nine Trey misdemeanors, and was the driver during the 2018 case. 

Butler broke down when he was asked to speak to the jury and his family: “I knew my actions and being around the people I was around could cause harm to people, and I deeply apologize. When I serve my time, I am going to make a difference in [my children’s] lives. I apologize for everything.”

We’ll see who gets sentenced next in this 6ix9ine fiasco.

[News] El Chapo sentenced to life in prison

[News] El Chapo sentenced to life in prison

According to CNN, famous drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman has been sentenced life in prison +30 years and was ordered to pay $12 billion.

During the trial, El Chapo spoke for only 10 minutes before the sentence was decided by the jury and the charges handed out. “There is no justice here,” the drug lord said in Spanish in reference to the trial. 

El Chapo was convicted on all 10 counts he was charged of, which included drug trafficking, firearms charges, and engaging in continual enterprise, which automatically terms life in prison. Prosecutors called him a “ruthless and bloodthirsty” leader of the Sinaloa cartel. 

After previously serving two years of isolation, El Chapo will serve his sentence in the nation’s most secure federal prison in Florence, Colorado. This is impart because of the two previous times that Guzman has escaped prison. “He’s going to Supermax, I’m sure, in Colorado,” defense attorney Jeffrey Lichtman told CNN’s “New Day” the day after Guzman was convicted. “No one has ever escaped. It’s absolutely impossible. It’s not even an issue.”

El Chapo was one of the most notorious criminals in the world and given his past history of escapes, it is reassuring to see him put in an inescapable prison.

[News] U.S. Air Force stands ready to protect America against “Storm Area 51”

A Facebook event called “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us” has caught the internet by storm. After the event garnered many followers, the U.S. Air Force has made it clear that it is ready to protect the restricted area. According to its statement, the Air Force is ready to,“protect America and its assets”, even if against citizens. 

To be fair, the originator of the Facebook event said that it was a joke the whole time, pinning a post underthe event writing, “Hello US government, this is a joke, and I do not actually intend to go ahead with this plan. I just thought it would be funny and get me some thumbsy uppies on the internet”. Clever, but we’ll see if that holds up in court, buddy. 

Even if it were intended to be a joke originally, it’s unclear if all the users who signed up for the event feel the same. There’s no reason they should have loyalty to the creator of the event, and he or she has no way of stopping those who are taking the Facebook event seriously.

[Music] Will Smith hosts Jaden’s 21st birthday party

Jaden Smith had his 21st birthday over the weekend, and it was hosted by his equally famous father, Will. Will seemed to be even more excited than his son, and got wasted and offered Jaden some advice. 

Will said that Jaden’s success had more to do with his mother than himself. “Most of the decisions that developed you were your mother. ‘Cause I was at work! I wasn’t home,” Smith joked. “Your mother did most of the work! I’m not goin’ front!” 

Will offered other key insights on life for Jaden by giving some tips on how to avoid jail time. 

“So I’m going to tell you something my father told me on my 21st birthday. “Never break two laws at one time. Because you increase your chances exponentially of getting caught for both,” Will Smith said. 

After the little bit of cringiness ended, Will expressed how proud he is of his son. “I’m really proud of you,” Smith explained. “Just the way you’ve grown in the last few years is what parents hope for. You take it seriously to contribute to the human family. You just make us proud every single day.”

[News] Family of one of R Kelly’s victims believes that she and other have engaged in a suicide pact

Despite R Kelly being charged with 13 additional counts of sex crimes, the family of the alleged victims are concerned about their children. 

Joycelyn Savage and Azriel Clary were presumed to be living at Trump Towers in Chicago with R Kelly. But when the authorities checked out the apartment, the two were nowhere to be found. 

According to the Savage family’s lawyer Gerald Griggs, the family believes that the two might have moved to an unknown location with the rest of Kelly’s inner circle.

Furthermore, they believe that Kelly had such a sway over the two women that they may have engaged in a suicide pact related to Kelly’s increasing amount of charges. Although the two were not found at the one apartment in Trump Towers, there is another apartment under Clary’s name that the two girls might be in. Unfortunately, the police were not allowed to search that room.
