Nipsey Hussle’s Murder Suspect Was Cut With A Razor According To Lawyer

According to his attorney, Aaron Jansen, Eric Holder, the man accused of killing renowned L.A. rapper Nipsey Hussle, was cut with a razor while he was being held in custody. As a result, he required staples in the back of his head. Holder’s inability to attend in court on Tuesday for “medical” reasons led to the incident’s confirmation.

“Mr. Holder, Jr. was assaulted by multiple individuals while he was in the holding cell at the jail while waiting to be brought to court yesterday morning,” Jansen said to CBS News. “The attack included a razor and the back of his head was cut.”

Holder was knocked out during the assault, and he later needed three staples in the back of his head and an MRI.

According to TMZ, Holder was waiting for the bus to take him to the courthouse for his murder trial when the attack occurred. On Wednesday, he appeared in court with sutures covering the back of his skull and a swollen left eye.

Prosecutors are asserting during the trial that Holder’s assault on Hussle was planned and intentional. As two other persons were hurt in the shooting, he is accused of one crime of murder, one count of having a firearm while a felon, and two counts of attempted murder. Holder might receive a life sentence if found guilty.

Drake And NBA Youngboy Have The Most Streams In The United States In 2022

Drake is virtually impossible to outnumber in a numbers game. The Canadian rapper won the title of Billboard’s Artist Of The Decade as a result of his career-long record-setting and breaking performances on the charts. It should therefore come as no surprise that the rapper from “Knife Talk” is the most streamed musician of the year.

According to Chartdata Drake became the most streamed artist in the country this year with 4.16 billion on-demand streaming in the US. It’s a significant accomplishment that doesn’t seem all that shocking now that he has released his most recent album, Honestly, Nevermind.

Drake climbed to new heights on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 after the release of Honestly, Nevermind. Drake became the first rapper to simultaneously debut on both charts on two different occasions thanks to the album’s and “Jimmy Cooks” ft. 21 Savage’s chart-topping success. Additionally, he continued to hold the record for the most Hot 100 top 10 hits by an artist.

NBA Youngboy is the artist with the second-most on-demand U.S. streams, just behind Drake. The Louisiana rapper has already amassed 3.37 billion on-demand streams in the United States, but when he releases his next studio album, that number will undoubtedly rise. The 30-song tracklist for The Last Slimeto is set for release in August. Although it’s unclear, it’s extremely likely that he might overtake Drake in on-demand streams in the US.

Roddy Ricch Admits Himself, Kodak Black And NBA Youngboy As The Best Rappers Under 25

The debut album by Roddy Ricch, Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial, is possibly among the best in the past five years. He unfortunately succumbed to the sophomore slump and underwhelmed with his second studio album. On Friday, he released a three-track album named The Big 3 in response to critics who have stated that he has fallen off, instead of using it as motivation or as a source of discouragement.

After the album’s release, the rapper discussed this generation’s top artists during an appearance on Power 106. “It’s n***as that’s of my generation but got poppin’ but they like older,” Prior to stating the age range as 20 to 25, Roddy remarked.. “I’d say me, and Youngboy, and Kodak. That’s the age range right there,” Added Roddy. All three musicians have had a profound influence on culture, however Kodak Black and Youngboy outperform Roddy in terms of catalogs.

Roddy has been making hints his mixtape days are coming back, even though his most recent project may not have been well received by his fans. Roddy announced the arrival of Feed Tha Streets III before delivering Live Life Fast. He declared that the project would end this year sometime in late 2021. Although he hasn’t recently disclosed any details about the project, The Big 3’s release could be a sign that he’s testing the waters before releasing his next one in its entirety.

Everything. Not specifically production, the drip. You know back then it was so many rules to hip hop. He broke all of them. Broke down all the doors.”

Chris Brown Is Better Than Michael Jackson According To Casanova 

Casanova guilty to RICO and drug-related charges in federal court this month. He will be given a penalty of five to sixty years when he is sentenced on December 6.

The rhymer was seized in December of last year as part of a federal racketeering investigation because of his alleged involvement in crimes linked to the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation gang. 18 alleged gang members, including Cas, are accused of killing, robbing, deceiving, and selling illegal substances.

Despite the setback, Casa has continued to monitor Twitter on a mobile device and has offered his opinion on the debate some are having on whether Chris Brown has surpassed Michael Jackson.

Chris Brown, meanwhile, disputes the assertion that he is superior than Michael Jackson. “Because I don’t consider myself better than Michael Jackson, and you already know when it comes to dancing and things of that nature… If I’m not better than Michael, how can Chris Brown be better than Michael?”

“I stay the hell up out of it… I kind of back off it. My personal take on it is I wouldn’t even be breathing or even being able to sing a song if that man didn’t exist. So I don’t know if they look at it as the Jordan/Kobe thing but I can’t even look at it — [MJ is] light years ahead.”
