The sentences will run concurrently. His probation was allowed to be transferred to California, and he was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.

In January 2019, after Bensalem Township cops obtained a search warrant for Allen at an apartment on Konefal Street in Bensalem, he was detained. The writ of assistance was issued by Bensalem Township authorities in January 2019 as a result of an inquiry that began in November 2018 following a series of complaints about loud celebrations.

According to the police, during their search they discovered five pounds of marijuana, scales, and packaging material in the apartment. They also unearthed over $33,000 in cash. San Antonio Police Department found a Glock handgun in 40 caliber that was reported stolen during the raid.

In 2019, Stephanie Sibounheuang and Allen were both arrested. In 2019, he pleaded guilty to possessing a prohibited drug. He was sentenced to six months of probation. PnB Rock pled guilty to one count of possession with the intent to distribute and another charge of receiving stolen property. He has been sentenced to 36 months on each count and he has been ordered to perform 100 hours of community service. His sentences will be served at the same time.

Women put aside their aprons and oven mitts and proved that they can make as much and sometimes more money than men. This article covers the richest
top four female rappers in ascending order. Some may surprise you while you may have expected others.

1. Nicki Minaj – Net worth: $ 85 million

“I feel like I’m King Kong/Name still going ding dong/It’s only two girls, getting more money, and they don’t rap they sing songs/.”

According to our research, this is a true claim, and these two girls are Rihanna and Beyonce. The reigning queen of net worth when it comes to the top five richest female rappers is the icon and loving mother Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty.

2. Queen Latifah – Net worth: $ 60 million

This one probably won’t surprise you. “Jack of all trades” rapper, actress, singer and songwriter Queen Latifah ranks second on our list of the top five richest female rappers.

Honestly, this cover girl did too much to make Hollywood less than number one or two. Hailing from Newark, New Jersey, Dana Elaine Owens has been emulated for years in every genre of entertainment she entered.

3. Missy Elliott – Net worth: $ 50 million

Number 3 is a woman whose finger is waves “Can’t Stand The Rain”, but she can stand alone in the studio as a producer among producers, man or woman. Melissa Arnette Elliot was born July 1, 1971.

Versatile creativity was recognized by MTV with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for having influenced music video culture so deeply. Not bad for the first female rapper to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

4. Cardi B – Net worth: $ 24 million

Coming fourth on our list is the pregnant mother of Kulture Kiari, wife of Migos member Offset. Cardi B captured our hearts as a social media influencer with inspirational posts that were “clicky” and to say the least refined, encouraging and entertaining to say the least.

The Love and Hip Hop star started out as a stripper checking mail after Mona Scott. With “RedBarz” she proved to us that she could rap and write her own lyrics. Belcalis Almanzar then proved to us that she is an intelligent businesswoman who is not afraid of winning when it comes to hiring a team of negroes.

August 8, 2021/0 Comments/in Celebrities, Gossip /by StevennewBlogger1

Famous Philadelphia rapper Dark Lo faces nearly a decade in prison for writing a threatening letter to a witness during AR-Ab’s drug trial.

A Philadelphia judge ultimately convicted rapper Dark Lo (real name Charles Salley) in a case that linked the rapper to gang violence and drug trafficking.

The federal court sentenced him to 7 years in prison, saying the eminent artist should have learned better.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, US District Judge Mark A. Kearney admitted that the rapper had too much to lose teetering in the music industry and the streets.

The artist apologized to the court for accusing a government witness that he could be “stabbed up” if he testified during the trial of his friend Abdul “AR-Ab in 2019.

The rapper sent a threatening letter to a team member named Donte “Taz” Stewart who collaborated with the government.

The letter threatened violence against the witness and his girlfriend.

Dark Lo appeared in court during the AR-Ab trial in 2019, the day Tez testified. The FBI seized the letter and arrested Dark Lo at his Delaware home.

Dark Lo said he didn’t want to scare anyone.

But it was reported that he released a rap song called “Allegations” which seemed to mean he “can’t wait to see” the one who opened his mouth to the police…

The judge, after reviewing all of this evidence, noted how he had turned his life of drug dealing into becoming a commercial rapper and said, “You are the word blacksmith. You chose these words. You know how to write words to create an effect.”

But he still sentenced Dark Lo to nearly a decade in prison for threatening a witness in the case. Dark Lo pleaded guilty to these charges earlier this year.

Nicki Minaj Husband Kenneth Petty Pleads Guilty After Failing To Register As A Sex Offender

August 8, 2021/0 Comments/in Celebrities, Gossip /by StevennewBlogger1

Kenneth Petty (43) pleaded guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in California. The husband of Nicki Minaj (38) thus escapes the hefty prison sentence.

According to TMZ , Kenneth made a deal with the Public Prosecution Service whereby he will receive a lower sentence in exchange for his confession. Sex offenders who fail to submit mandatory registration can face up to ten years in prison plus life in probation. It is possible that he will also have to sit for a while. The prosecutors would also have pointed out in the papers that the minimum sentence is five years’ probation.

Kenneth was arrested in March of 2020 for moving to Nicki, California, but not registering as a sex offender there. He has had to do so since he was convicted in New York in 1995 for attempted rape. In addition to the registration, he must also adhere to a curfew. Earlier this year, he was allowed to be with the singer at any time of the day at the birth of his first child. The couple became parents of a son in October.

Kanye West Misses Donda Deadline Again

August 8, 2021/0 Comments/in Celebrities, Gossip /by StevennewBlogger1

Kanye West (44) has again failed to release his new album ‘Donda’ on the planned date. The record was supposed to appear on Friday, after having been postponed twice before, but is still not online on Saturday.

Fans can pre-order ‘Donda’ through Apple Music. It now states that the album will be released on August 13. Whether that is correct is not clear. The rapper has not yet responded to the news that he is late again.

‘Donda’, Kanye’s tenth studio album, was supposed to be released last year. The rapper postponed this and chose July 23 as the new date, but even then he was not satisfied enough with the songs. He decided to stay at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, where he threw a release party on July 21, to continue tinkering with his music. Last Thursday he organized another event in the stadium to celebrate the arrival of the album.

It is more common that the rapper decides at the last minute not to release an album on the planned date. For example, the release of his previous album ‘Jesus Is King’ (2019) was postponed several times and fans also had to wait longer for previous albums.

Meanwhile, the rapper would be busy with a new sweetheart in his life.

Kanye West Takes A Nap During New Album Release Party

August 7, 2021/0 Comments/in Celebrities, Gossip /by StevennewBlogger1

Kanye West (44) has thrown another release party for his new album ‘Donda’. The launch party was even more exuberant than the first time, American media report. The rapper took a nap and a number of push-ups during the event, among other things.

The launch again took place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. There, the artist held a big listening event to share his new music with his fans. According to attendees, he regularly made use of a makeshift bed during the session and the rapper also occasionally used his phone to call someone.

One of the highlights of the event was when the rapper let himself hoist and hover above the stage. Images of a ‘flying’ Kanye were widely shared on social media.

Named after West’s mother, ‘Donda’ was actually supposed to come out on July 23. The night before, the musician also held a major listening event to share his new music with his fans. That event was simpler set up than the second party. The first time, the rapper stood alone in the middle of the stadium, moving along quietly, occasionally saying something through a microphone while the album was playing.

The day after the party, however, he went into a makeshift studio in the stadium because he still wanted to tinker with the album. To date, the real album has still not been presented. That is expected to happen on Friday. For Kanye, delay is not an unusual move, because he has often decided to go into the studio again at the very last minute. The release of his previous album ‘Jesus Is King’ (2019) was also postponed a few times.

Rapper C-Murder Claims Sealed Documents Hold Keys To His Freedom

August 7, 2021/0 Comments/in Celebrities, Gossip /by StevennewBlogger1

Rapper C-Murder, no-limit rapper, has been serving a life sentence since 2009 for his alleged role in the murder of 16-year-old boy in 2002. He has claimed his innocence from the onset.

Today, after a series of major twists and turns during his trial, the rapper claims there are sealed documents that hold the key to his freedom.

In a press release from his publicist on Wednesday August 4, rapper C-Murder claims there are 31 hidden documents showing illegal DNA reports that were not presented during his attempted murder.

He claims a match was found when analyzing his DNA in the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) database, but the Attorney ordered that the genetic data be pulled from the system and marked as unknown.

Miller called for a full investigation into the “corruption that led to his current imprisonment” and for the press to demand that the 31 documents be turned over to him and his legal department. The courts are apparently fighting against the disclosure of these documents.

“Half of my life has been stolen by the Louisiana courts and it stops now!” said C-murder.

The press release also said that the no-limit rapper, currently housed at Elayn Hunt Correctional Center in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, has gone on a hunger strike to protest the medical negligence he and other inmates have suffered since the Covid pandemic.

He also added that “While quarantined, the inmates are on constant lockdown and are not allowed to leave the dorm to receive fresh air. The tests that they provide are not up to standard and they are giving many erroneous results. There are many inmates that have ailments that were not properly treated and as a result, have died after contracting the virus.

“I believe that the world should know what is occurring here and their loved ones deserve to know the truth.”

August 5, 2021/0 Comments/in Celebrities, Gossip /by StevennewBlogger1

Rihanna (33) would be billionaire according to the business magazine ‘Forbes’. That would make her the richest female musician in the world. The business magazine announced on Wednesday that the singer would have a net worth of around 1.1 billion euros.

She owes this of course to her singing career, but especially to her beauty line Fenty Beauty. She also has her own lingerie line under the name Savage X Fenty. The 33-year-old singer scored hits with songs such as ‘Umbrella’, ‘Diamonds’ and ‘Pon de Replay’.

Rihanna is not the richest female entertainer in the world, according to the magazine. In that list, she is in second place, behind TV personality Oprah Winfrey who would have a net worth of about 2.3 billion euros.

American Festival Lollapalooza Has Removed DaBaby From Its Line-Up Because Due To Homophobic Statements

August 3, 2021/0 Comments/in Celebrities, Gossip /by StevennewBlogger1

The American festival Lollapalooza has removed DaBaby (29) from its line-up because of the homophobic statements the rapper made during a show in Miami last week. The organization disapproves of his words and considers it no longer appropriate to give him a stage.

“Lollapalooza stands for diversity, inclusivity, respect and love”

Lollapalooza stands for diversity, inclusiveness, respect and love. “With that in mind, we’ve decided that DaBaby will no longer be performing.”

The decision is striking because DaBaby was one of the closing moments of the Sunday evening. His place is taken over by rapper Young Thug, who would actually perform at the end of the afternoon on Sunday.

During a performance at a Miami festival last week, DaBaby asked everyone in attendance to turn on their cell phone lights except gays “having sex in parking garages” or those who are HIV-positive. He also claimed that people with HIV ‘die within two or three weeks’. He later apologized in part via a tweet.

Several celebrities already announced last week that they were shocked by DaBaby’s statements. Dua Lipa and Madonna, among others, disapproved of his statements.
