Brooklyn Drill Rappers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow Facing Conspiracy Charges

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two prominent Brooklyn drill rappers, Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, have recently been indicted on conspiracy charges, following a comprehensive 140-count indictment that encompasses multiple New York City gangs. The New York Post reported that among the 32 individuals charged, Sheff G (real name: Michael Williams) and Sleepy Hallow (real name: Tegan Chambers) were affiliated with the 8 Trey Crips and neighboring 9 Ways, facing a range of charges from murder to weapons possession, kidnapping, assault, and conspiracy.

These alleged acts of violence occurred between March 2019 and the present day. Prosecutors claim that Sheff G used his rap career earnings to finance criminal activities, worsening gun violence in the city in exchange for money, lavish meals, jewelry, and more.

During a press conference, District Attorney Eric Gonzalez stated, “Rather than using his fame and wealth for personal growth and the well-being of his family and associates, we allege that Sheff G used his fame and fortune to escalate gang violence in Brooklyn. He played a significant role within the gang and was a central figure in our investigation. Sheff G used a significant portion of his earnings to enable more gang-related crimes, actively encouraging other gang members to engage in acts of violence.”

Sheff G, who was already in prison serving a two-year sentence for gun possession charges, was denied early release by the parole board in November. On Tuesday (May 16), he was brought to Brooklyn Supreme Court by authorities to face the new conspiracy charges.

According to prosecutors, Sheff G allegedly treated members of the 8 Trey Crips to an extravagant dinner at a high-end steakhouse in October 2020, shortly after they ambushed their rivals from the Folk Nation, resulting in one fatality and multiple injuries. They also assert that Sheff G served as the getaway driver in an April 2021 shooting targeting a rival, which also injured two innocent bystanders.

Sleepy Hallow, on the other hand, was released from jail in February after serving approximately eight months for a weapons charge.

The District Attorney’s Office claims that the individuals indicted were involved in 27 acts of violence spanning the past four years, employing approximately 37 firearms, 19 of which have been recovered by law enforcement.

Mayor Eric Adams emphasized, “We focus on a small number of highly violent individuals who remain committed to perpetuating violence, regardless of the consequences. These individuals use their fame and fortune to facilitate access to dangerous firearms. We refuse to surrender our streets to such violence.”

Cooperating with Prosecution, XXXTENTACION’s Murderer Receives Reduced Sentence

/0 Comments/in /by

One of the suspects involved in the murder of XXXTENTACION has received a reduced sentence after providing crucial testimony against his co-defendants. Robert Allen, 27 years old, agreed to be a key witness for the prosecution, resulting in a two-year prison term as part of a plea deal.

In the sentencing hearing presided over by Broward Circuit Judge Michael A. Usan, Allen’s seven-year prison sentence was reduced by five years, accounting for the time he had already served during the trial. Additionally, he was placed on 20 years of probation.

Allen had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and armed robbery in August, while cooperating with the prosecution’s case against his co-defendants, Michael Boatwright, Dedrick Williams, and Trayvon Newsome. The jury had previously found them guilty of first-degree murder and robbery with a deadly weapon, resulting in two life sentences each without the possibility of parole or early release.

During the hearing, XXXTENTACION’s family was present, and his aunt, Deandra Ellis, expressed their satisfaction with the outcome. The prosecution highlighted the risks faced by Allen for providing information against gang members and presented testimony from law enforcement officials attesting to the danger to his life.

Boatwright and Williams were associated with the ZMF gang, a South Florida-based group formed between 2010 and 2013. The court took into account Allen’s admission of gang involvement and the risk he took by testifying against them.

Despite the reduced sentence, Allen’s defense attorney, Jim Lewis, expressed concerns about his client’s safety, stating that he would be targeted for death by the gang. Lewis argued for a life sentence but acknowledged the court’s consideration of the risks Allen had taken.

By cooperating with the prosecution and testifying against his co-defendants, Robert Allen received a reduced sentence, providing some closure to the case surrounding XXXTENTACION’s tragic murder.

The L.A. gang members do not value life at all

Are L.A. Gang Members Super Mutants? 😈☠️

/0 Comments/in /by

The L.A. gang members do not value life at all. Their life us fascinating because most gang members are willing to risk their lives to rep their hood.  A hood a block they don’t own nor do business on. 

Yet countless lives are lost attempting to protect it. Anyway I’ll get off my ghetto soapbox. One of the two men named in the incident is Messiah Lopez also known as Frostydasnowmann who survived the unfortunate incident. He eventually fell victim of another attack that cost his life. Frosty was teaming with personality. After being shot multiple times and losing his friend, he was back on Instagram live discussing his jury and having to purchase new legs. 

Frosty’s nemesis was the late Draco, an influential rapper with the mumble style when a slow delivery. He became a known legend in the rap industry. Rumor has it and an interview on No Jumper confirmed that Draco accused Frostydasnowmann of posting older cars on IG and taking his rap style. 

Frosty got offended by the indirect insult on IG and a few days later, Frosty was shot and his best friend Darby murdered.

Glorilla Says She Spent Three Years in Prison for Stealing Cereal

Glorilla Says She Spent Three Years in Prison for Stealing Cereal

/0 Comments/in /by

Glorilla admits that she spent three years in prison for stealing cereal, according to information that has reached Kossyderrickent.

However, other business owners are accusing the Memphis native and her team members of defrauding their brands. The Shade Room’s Instagram page has a video report about the accusations right now.

Kimberley Renfroe, the proprietor of a small hair and beauty supply company, claims that she paid a man who identified himself as the manager of GloRilla $1,000. The 23-year-old rapper was expected to get the cash in exchange for promoting some of her company’s products as part of an endorsement arrangement. The man accepted the payment and then demanded additional money before he ultimately ghosted Renfroe.

A choreographer claims she had a similar experience with Glorilla. She says the Memphis native and her team are responsible for reaching out to her for a five-hour dance lesson for $1,500. Once the class allegedly happened, she says she never got her money.

“I was made aware that an individual has been impersonating members of my team and deceiving people for money as part of a scam. I’m looking into the issue, but I’d like to encourage all my fans and supporters to be very careful with how they communicate with online strangers. It’s important to do research and take the appropriate steps to prevent yourselves from being victimized by cybercriminals posing as celebrity teams,” she says in a statement to FOX13 Memphis.

Of course, this story arrives shortly after the Memphis native made headlines for seeking a personal assistant. She was offering $550 per week for the position.

A previous video of the 23-year-old just started appearing online, according to other reports about the woman. She expresses her love for Chief Keef in the tape shot before she became famous. The Memphis native lip-syncs to pre-recorded music as an image of the “Love Sosa” rapper shows in the background.

“This is your man? the audio asks. “Yeah,” she promptly pretends to reply. After the audio states to “look at the screen,” she does so with admiration and says, “That’s mine.”

Eight of the Potential 65 Charges Against Young Thug in the YSL Rico Trial

In the lengthy RICO case against his young Slime Life (YSL) gang, Thug is accused of eight crimes.

On January 4, 2023, as jury selection in the trial in Fulton County, Georgia got underway, the charges against Atlanta rapper “Jeffrey Williams,” actual name Jeffrey Williams, were confirmed in court documents.

Prosecutors claim that Thug and other YSL members are part of a “Criminal Street Gang” connected to the ‘Bloods’ who are responsible for a number of violent crimes in the Atlanta area, including murder and armed robbery. The RICO indictment against them includes a total of 65 counts.

28 YSL members were detained in the RICO case, but only 14 remains today, including Young Thug, who was one of the original 28. In recent weeks, a number of defendants have entered into plea agreements, including Gunna, who was let go from prison last month after admitting guilt to a single racketeering crime. Although Young Thug has maintained his innocence, the plea agreements are anticipated to make his struggle for freedom much more difficult.

Antonio “Mounk Tounk” Sledge acknowledged in court during the acceptance of his negotiated plea in December that one or more YSL members were responsible for the 2015 murder of Donovan Thomas and that Young Thug had paid him and other YSL members to “lie low” after the crime.

Sledge, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the RICO Act and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and received a 15-year probationary sentence, promised to testify at the trial if necessary.

Cam’ron Reports On Alleged Knitting Needle Attacks By Ben Gordon On The Streets

For his sports program “It is what it is,” Cam’ron is working hard, and he’s adding to it with an investigative investigation on former NBA star Ben Gordon.

Killa Cam posted a story about Gordon’s arrest for reportedly stabbing people in Harlem with knitting needles on his Instagram feed On Wednesday, December 7. Cam’s post included a collection of videos that were assembled to highlight the entire incident.

“It’s your boy Cam reporting for It is what it is talk in front of Harlem Hospital, where former NBA player and sixth man of the year ‘Ben Gordon’ seems to be having mental issues trying to stab people. Weapon of choice, sewing needles,” the rapper said the camera panned out to show the hospital.

The next few clips depicit one of the needles Gordon allegedly used on the street and actual footage of the arrest that shows the former shooting guard moving his head erratically while police put handcuffs on him.

Other clips shows Gordon in the hospital being attended to by a nurse but later tried to escape from the facility. Cam took it upon himself to get accounts from eye witnesses who saw the whole incident.

One man said he was outside not knowing what was going on when he allegedly saw Gordon with a knitting needle in his hand trying to harm people. Another person claimed to have approached Ben Gordon to say hi but saw Police chase and tackle him to the ground.

Judging from the comments under Cam’s post, many fans of the Dipest head honcho weren’t sure whether what they were seeing was real or not.

“Son I’m done lol,” former NFL player Lesean McCoy wrote while someone else said “Cam got the new before everybody?? How did that happen?”

Former Indiana Pacers player Roy Hibbert asked Cam straight up, “Kills this for real?” To which the rapper replied: “Yea.”

Takeoff's Murder Suspect Tried To Obtain An Emergency Passport

Takeoff’s Murder Suspect Tried To Obtain An Emergency Passport

More details are being released following the news that the alleged murderer of takeoff was apprehended. The Public was perplexed as to why it took the police so long to make an arrest in the case. According to reports, Takeoff and Quavo were at a private event in Houston when a verbal incident took place. Takeoff, was hit by gunfire and was labeled a “Innocent bystander” by the police.

According to court documents, “Takeoff alleged killer, Patrick Clark, (DJ Pat) applied for an Emergency Passport days after killing Takeoff and booked a flight to Mexico,” Akademiks stated.

“When police arrested him, he had large amounts of cash on him. Prosecutors claim he’s a flight risk for bond.” 

DJ Pat is a familiar name in Houston’s music circles, and Akademiks’ update arrived after Houston PD held a press conference. It is unclear how Takeoff’s alleged killer is connected to the group that also attended the event where the rapper was gunned down.

I can tell you Takeoff was not involved in playing the dice game, he was not involved in the argument that happened outside, he was not armed, he was an innocent bystander,” HPD Sgt. Micheal Burrow said.

He suggested that the investigation has stalled because of the lack of witnesses willing to speak with the authorities.

“Literally, every single one of those people left the scene without giving a statement to police,” Burrow said. It’s important that those people come forward.” 

KHOU 11 News also reported that the mayor of Houston has pleaded with the public to help with the investigation. 

“I don’t give anyone an out. If you were there an you saw something, and you know something, you don’t get a pass,” 

Mayor Sylvester Turner said. “There are too many young men, and I’ll be even be more specific, too many young men of color who are killing other young men of color. And that has to stop, that has to stop.”

Armed Man In Crowd In New Video Of Takeoff’s Death, Police Claims He Is A Person Of Interest In A Fatal Shooting

TMZ has learnt that a person of interest in the rapper’s killing is an armed man who was standing only a few feet away from Takeoff and Quavo when the fatal shots were fired.

In this footage, which provides a fresh perspective on the moments just before shots were fired, a man wearing all-black is seen carrying a black backpack and having a weapon tucked away in his right hip pocket.

As Quavo was involved in the argument that went before the shooting, you can clearly see the gun in the man’s pocket; he is holding it.

In The video, two seconds before the opening shot is fired, Quavo, wearing the bright orange shirt, approaches the man from behind.

Although there is no evidence in the video to suggest the man fired the opening shot, around 5 seconds later he can be seen lifting his pistol and appearing to fire. It’s unclear how far away Takeoff or Quavo were from him at that point.

Houston Police Department claims to have seen this video and has identified the individual as a person of interest. He hasn’t been identified yet.

Tiffany Haddish And Aries Spears Are Accused Of Abusing Children

In accordance with reports, ki two comedians are charged with grooming a 14-year-old girl and her 7-year-old brother to engage in inappropriate, sexually suggestive acts in sketches. The two unnamed siblings, going by Jane Doe and John Doe, claim that the event, which happened when they were still kids, left them traumatized for life. In addition, the youngster asserts that both defendants had assaulted him.

The child also alleges that “Aunty Tiff” transported her younger brother, who was just 7 years old at the time, to a house where she and Spears sexually assaulted him while making the Funny or Die video “Through a Pedophiles Eyes.” The siblings claim in their lawsuit that their mother knew “Girls Trip” star Tiffany Haddish and that they became friends. They also claim that the Funny or Die video starring John Doe was posted online when he was too young to give his consent.

The unnamed girl claims that the experience has destroyed her dating life and that she fears being “led down a path of false trust like the path that Haddish led her down.” Andrew Bretler, Tiffany’s lawyer, has refuted the accusations, stating they are only an attempt at extortion. Trizah Morris, the mother of the plaintiff, has allegedly been attempting to “present these fraudulent charges against Ms. Haddish for numerous years,” according to Bretler.

“Every attorney who has initially taken on her case — and there were several — ultimately dropped the matter once it became clear that the claims were meritless and Ms. Haddish would not be shaken down,” he continued. “Now, Ms. Morris has her adult daughter representing herself in this lawsuit. The two of them will together face the consequences of pursuing this frivolous action.”
