Former Manager: GUCCI Mane lied about killing JEEZY’s friend Pookie Loc.

By lying about murdering Pookie Loc, a friend of his former adversary Jeezy, Gucci Mane has been charged by his former management.

The shocking assertion was made by Debra Antney, the mother of Waka Flocka Flame, who worked with her firm Mizay Entertainment to make Gucci successful in the mid-late 2000s.

When Gucci and Jeezy engaged in a brawl on 2020 Verzuz, during which Guwop ridiculed his then-rival by bringing up the murder of his friend Pookie Loc, whom he was suspected of killing, Antney—who also once managed Nicki Minaj, French Montana, and OJ Da Juiceman—was questioned about the incident.

“Technically, you really didn’t kill anybody,” she said. “All these kids think that your the number one killer so let’s stop talking about it because now you’re a dad, you got two sons. Think about your kids looking at you a certain kind of way of something that’s fictitious. It was done for rap.”

Antney shook her head in response to the question of whether Gucci truly killed Pookie when podcast host Ugly Money Niche questioned her on it.

Gucci Mane was a guest at the residence where Pookie Loc, real name Henry Lee Clark III, was shot and murdered in May 2005 during a robbery attempt. In Decatur, Georgia, the rapper from 1017 was visiting a female friend when Clark and three other men barged into her residence.

Gucci was attacked, there was a struggle, then there were gunshots, and the attackers ran away. A few days later, Clark’s body was found in front of a neighboring middle school.

“Rest in peace to Pookie Loc, blame it on me never snitching / Lord knows I ain’t send the homie on no dummy mission,” he rapped.

Gucci performed “The Truth,” a song he released in 2012, during their aforementioned Verzuz battle, in which it included the line: “Go dig your partner up, n-gga, bet he can’t say shit.” This was Gucci’s way of putting Pookie’s murder in Jeezy’s face. He added insult to injury by telling the Snowman that he was “smoking on Pookie Loc tonight.”

The Southern stalwarts sang “Icy” as a group to end the conflict in spite of the cheap shots. Gucci subsequently expressed remorse for insulting Pookie throughout the competition.

At the 2022 REVOLT Summit in September, he spoke with Rap Radar’s Elliott Wilson and Brian “B.Dot” Miller and stated of “The Truth,” “I don’t even like that song.” “When I left, I was like, ‘Damn. I wish I wouldn’t have said what I said’ “.

He added: “I didn’t know when I got on the stage, that was gonna happen, [that] I was gonna say that. I ain’t like, ‘I’m bringing negative energy.’ It just really came out.”

FOR THE NEXT MCDONALD’S CELEBRITY MEAL, SAWEETIE WILL FOLLOW TRAVIS SCOTT

ra

Saweetie, who is known for her unusual culinary combinations like pouring ranch on her spaghetti, is the next celebrity to get her own McDonald’s meal. Starting August 9, the Saweetie Meal will be available at Golden Arches restaurants across the United States.

The Saweetie Meal includes a Big Mac, four-piece Chicken McNuggets, medium fries, and medium Sprite, as well as Tangy BBQ and ‘Saweetie ‘N Sour’ sauces for dipping. Fans are urged to “remix” their meals by adding fries to Big Mac burgers.

“McDonald’s and I run deep – from growing up back in Hayward, California, all through my college days – so I had to bring my icy gang in on my all-time favorites,” she said about the partnership in a statement. “Depending on the mood I’m in, there are so many ways to enjoy my order. I like to keep things fresh – I know that’s right.”

Saweetie’s meal is the latest in a long series of celebrity dinners, including successful collaborations with BTS, J Balvin, and Travis Scott, which resulted in supply shortages at several places. According to reports, the Houston native made $5 million from McDonald’s and another $15 million from Mickey Dee’s merchandise sales.

On the music front, fans of the “My Type” rapper are still waiting for the release of her first album, Pretty Bitch Music. Saweetie revealed her intention to postpone the project until later in 2021 in a June interview with Big Tigger.

“Pretty Bitch Music was supposed to come out this month, but I was really living with it,” she explained. “And one of my goals is for people to really feel something with every song, so I had to go back and reconstruct some songs. Just know that I’m a perfectionist and it’s on the way.”

FOR FAILURE TO PAY A $50K DEBT, 50 CENT DEMANDS TEAIRRA MARI BE ORDERED TO APPEAR IN COURT.

Court documents obtained by Radar reveal that 50 Cent, the Power mogul, has requested that Teairra Mari, the Love & Hip Hop star, testify under oath about her finances. He is attempting to reclaim $50,000 that he believes she owes him and has accused her of stalling payment. This situation highlights the importance of promptly repaying debts, whether they are owed to individuals or taken out as a cash loan from a financial institution.

Mari must come before a judge with bank account information in hand to explain her money under oath, according to the records. If the victim’s cause is proven to be true and if he fails to oblige to her needs then it is better to go for lowell financial bailiffs who will make sure that he settles the debt by selling the brand that he owns. Mari filed a lawsuit against the Queens superstar in 2018 after he shared leaked sex footage with the VH1 actress on his social media sites.

A year later, a court concurred with Fif, dismissing the complaint and ordering Mari to pay the rapper $30,000 in legal expenses. Mari hasn’t paid a dollar since the judgment, and the additional $20,00 comes from various punishments that have accrued over the years. She’s also resisted the rapper’s attempts to collect her wages and bank documents.

Mari “has been the subject of repeated sanctions by this Court but has been seemingly unswayed by such actions and has not paid any money towards the Judgement or sanctions against her, making the increased penalties associated with a finding of contempt necessary,” Fif’s attorney wrote in the latest filing.

If a judge signs off on this, the order will reportedly read “If you fail to appear at the time and place specified in this order, you may be subject to arrest and punishment for contempt of court, and the court may make an order requiring you to pay the reasonable attorney fees incurred by the judgment creditor in this proceeding.” 50 also said Mari should be found in contempt for ignoring the initial ruling altogether.

The latest filing comes after 50 reignited his feud with Mari on social media back in January, reposting a photo from one of her press conferences with her celebrity attorney to remind her and his 27 million followers that he has yet to be paid.

“Remember this, Smh she better give me my money,” he wrote in the caption. “Before it start to feel like she went to college and her student loans catching up with her.”

The current complaint comes after 50 restarted his battle with Mari on social media in January, tweeting a photo from one of her press appearances with her celebrity attorney to remind her and his 27 million followers that he is still owed money.

“Remember this, Smh she better give me my money,” he wrote in the caption. “Before it start to feel like she went to college and her student loans catching up with her.”

FOLLOWING THE COVID-19 VACCINE DEBACLE, NICKI MINAJ OFFERED A CALL WITH THE WHITE HOUSE

Nicki Minaj ignited a massive COVID-19 vaccination controversy on Twitter earlier this week, which quickly spread to major news outlets and a slew of internet sites.

The multi-platinum rapper announced on Monday (September 13) that she will not be attending the 2021 Met Gala since evidence of vaccination was necessary for entrance, and she wanted to conduct more “research” before receiving one.

She also stated that a friend of her Trinidadian cousin had the vaccination, which caused his testicles to enlarge, according to him. Of course, this sparked a barrage of jokes, some of which even made it to Trevor Noah’s Daily Show.

But according to CNN anchor Don Lemon, the White House was more than willing to educate Nicki on the vaccine. On Wednesday (September 15), Lemon tweeted, “A source tells CNN that @NICKIMINAJ was offered a conversation with a doctor to clarify the efficacy and side effects of the vaccine not a visit to the White House. A White House statement is coming shortly.”

https://twitter.com/donlemon/status/1438293631375380482?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1438293631375380482%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fhiphopdx.com%2Fnews%2Fid.64570%2Ftitle.nicki-minaj-offered-call-with-the-white-house-following-covid-19-vaccine-debacle

Lemon followed up with, “A White House official tells @cnn’s Jeff Zeleny that ‘As we have with others, we offered a call with Nicki Minaj and one of our doctors to answer questions she has about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine.’”

https://twitter.com/donlemon/status/1438296212172640257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1438296212172640257%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fhiphopdx.com%2Fnews%2Fid.64570%2Ftitle.nicki-minaj-offered-call-with-the-white-house-following-covid-19-vaccine-debacle

Nicki Minaj looked enraged that her ideas were being questioned online, and she ended up attacking television host Joy-Ann Reid, whom she said had taken her remarks out of context.

“A lying homophobic coon I guess I can join in the reindeer games too right,” she tweeted. “Ppl can go on tv & lie on me, I can report on them, too right? Doesn’t have to be truths. It can be half truths. Uncle Tomiana asked who on earth would trust the US FDA guys… @JoyAnnReid.”

She later added, “This is what happens when you’re so thirsty to down another black woman (by the request of the white man), that you didn’t bother to read all my tweets. ‘My God SISTER do better’ imagine getting ur dumb ass on tv a min after a tweet to spread a false narrative about a black woman.”

Reid first chastised Nicki for using her enormous platform to “not encourage” the Black community to fight COVID-19.

Nicki has yet to respond to the White House’s invitation publicly.

FOLLOWING RECENT MURDERS, WIZ KHALIFA CALLS FOR AN END TO VIOLENCE AND DISRESPECT IN HIP HOP

Wiz Khalifa has been in the business for a long time and can safely be considered a rap veteran at this point. In his career, the Pittsburgh native has seen a lot, including the dark side, as seen by the recent deaths of his rap colleagues.

Wiz Khalifa took to Twitter on Sunday (December 19) to provide tips to his fellow rappers on how to start the new year. Wiz believes that performers need to think smarter and be there for one another.

“As entertainers lets try some shit next year,” Wiz wrote on Twitter. “Minding our own business. Not dis respecting each others family, dead homies, or area they come from. Stop using someone else’s significant other as a one up to the other person. Actually showing the same love you expect to get.”

He added, “Not sayin any of these are a direct cause of violence but changin em could help.”

Wiz’s comments came only days after Drakeo the Ruler was stabbed and died as a result of his injuries at the Once Upon a Time in LA festival in Los Angeles, California. Slim 400, a YG associate, was shot and slain in Los Angeles a week prior, and Young Dolph was gunned down in his birthplace of Memphis, Tennessee, last month.

And although Wiz may not be addressing other rappers directly, there is one who is defying what he preached in his tweets. Blac Youngsta played at a Dallas club on Friday (December 17), but the crowd didn’t appear to like the concert.

Blac Youngsta performed his 2016 diss hit “Shake Sum” directed at Young Dolph in a video clip uploaded online. Fans were caught surprised by Blac Youngsta’s decision, while social media users mocked him for his lackluster performance.

Wiz Khalifa’s latest album, Wiz Got Wings, is helping to spread the good sentiments. Wiz rejoins his Kush & Orange Juice pals Cardo Got Wings and Sledgren on the record for a pleasant, breezy journey through the Taylor Gang stoner’s optimistic psyche.

Wiz Khalifa’s Wiz Got Wings is available to stream below.

Following his arrest in Atlanta, LIL BABY’s artist Dirty Tay denies shooting a toddler

Dirty Tay, a member of Lil Baby’s 4PF, was detained last week on suspicion of shooting a kid and his father.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that during a traffic check on Friday, August 19, police detained Dirty Tay, 24, (real name Kentavious Wright), who was then booked into the Fulton County Jail on a dozen offenses.

The accusations include three counts of committing crimes specified in Georgia’s Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act with the purpose to join or advance in a criminal street gang, aggravated assault, first-degree cruelty to minors, and criminal attempt to commit murder.

Police caught Dirty Tay’s girlfriend carrying a pistol they believe to be his. They both were taken into arrest. You may watch the body-worn camera footage of the arrest below.

A dad and his three-year-old kid were reportedly fired at on August 3 as they were leaving the Off the Hook barbershop in southwest Atlanta.

Police said that when the father and boy were traveling along Peters Street, a Kia made a U-turn and started to pursue them. At an intersection, the automobile drew up next to the passenger side, and several rounds were fired, hitting the youngster in the head.

Police said that when the father and boy were traveling along Peters Street, a Kia made a U-turn and started to pursue them. At an intersection, the automobile drew up next to the passenger side, and several rounds were fired, hitting the youngster in the head.

Three 9mm round casings were discovered at the crime scene, and the father believed that five shots were fired before the suspect drove to a fire station. Hours after the incident, the youngster was taken to the hospital and was thought to be in stable condition.

In a post on his Instagram Stories on Wednesday (August 24), Dirty Tay refuted claims that he was involved in the shooting. “I’m innocent the news is not always right don’t bash me because of allegations,” he added.

On Lil Baby’s 4PF label, the Atlanta rapper released two albums in 2020, Way Bigger on the Low and Too Turnt Up. His singles “Beast” and “Don’t Wanna Do It” both had over a million Spotify listens.

Following a NYC gun arrest, LIL TJAY will be released on a $90k bond

Following his arrest in New York City on suspicion of possessing illegal firearms, Lil Tjay is anticipated to be freed from prison after posting a $90,000 bond.
Tjay (actual name Tione Jayden Merritt) will return to court on Friday, January 20, and his release from custody is expected, according to NBC4.

Police stopped the “Calling My Phone” rapper on his way to the location where they were going to film a music video with Ice Spice for their upcoming “Gangsta Boo” duet on Monday afternoon (January 16) on suspicion of second-degree criminal possession of a firearm.

Following a search, police found five loaded pistols in the Cadillac Escalade and detained the 21-year-old rapper in Fordham Heights. Tjay and four other people were handcuffed since none of them had a permit to possess any of the discovered firearms (two .380-caliber pistols and two loaded 9mm handguns).

The New York Post was able to see a criminal complaint detailing how Tjay’s SUV was stopped for idling in a no-standing area. Quickly, video of the rapper’s detention appeared on social media.

Lil Tjay’s attorney, however, feels that an unauthorized search led to the arrest. According to TMZ, attorney Dawn Florio said that her client’s car was properly parked on the street and that the firearms found by the police did not belong to him.

Florio noted that when officers halted the automobile, they failed to provide a convincing justification for conducting the search. She also thinks that the Bronx rapper was targeted by the NYPD after he talked about the video shoot on social media.

The shooting in front of a Chipotle in Edgewater, New Jersey, in June 2022 resulted in many bullet wounds for Lil Tjay, who was arrested a few months after the incident.

The Destined 2 Win singer was reportedly comatose and breathing via a tube for a few days after being taken into emergency surgery.

Fortunately, Tjay was able to fully recover. In August of last year, he said on social media that despite the “tough,” he would bounce back and be “stronger than ever.”

FLORIDA MALL SHUTS DOWN BECAUSE OF LIL DURK LOOKALIKE

People might go insane when they see a star in an unexpected public place. King Cid, a YouTube prankster, tricked Lil Durk fans on Thursday by parading a doppelganger of the Chicago rap singer around a mall in Broward County, Florida (April 7).

The impostor, who goes by the name Shmurkioo, nailed Smurk’s style, sporting Durk’s distinctive blond dreads, a fashionable blue puffer coat, and matching snapback. People flocked to his security squad, and the gathering grew as word traveled across the mall.

Everyone had their phones out, screaming for a selfie, and yelled obscenities at the Durk doppelgänger, which is likely to cause some second-hand humiliation when they hear the hoax video is going viral.

In recent months, rapper impersonators have gone popular. A fake DJ Khaled was recently spotted at Waffle House, channeling the inspiring Khaled character, while a fake Drake has reportedly built a profession out of impersonating the 6 God in Miami.

Lil Durk’s doppelganger in the prank was even co-signed by him. He shared a viral TikTok of the impostor and a female buddy performing their best Durk and India Royale impressions with his “Difference Is” song as the music earlier this week.

FANS OF DRAKE LEFT ANGRY AFTER THE VANCOUVER SHOW WAS POSTPONED A FEW HOURS PRIOR TO SHOWTIME

Due to “unforeseen circumstances,” Drake abruptly postponed the first of two gigs scheduled for Vancouver, infuriating the concertgoers that showed up.

Those waiting in line for the event on Monday were assured by a Rogers Arena employee, “We want to make this as easy for you as possible” (August 28). “Unfortunately, the concert this evening has been postponed … It’s out of our control.”

She continued as the audience’s irate outbursts subsided: “You and your wristbands will be honored on Wednesday [August 30].”

Upon the announcement, one of the fans even said, “This my 13th reason.” The remark made reference to the television program 13 Reasons Why, in which a young girl outlines all the factors that led to her suicide.

The fact that many individuals are selling the postponed event tickets online suggests that they won’t be able to attend the rescheduled date.

Only hours before the gates were scheduled to open, the performance was called off, and not for any particular reason other than problems with “the newly installed scoreboard” at the arena. Fans online haven’t been accepting of Drizzy’s last-minute change as a result.

The OVO boss has continued to discuss NBA-related issues, most notably joining a chorus of NBA players in denouncing Noah Lyles, a track star, for his criticism of the NBA Finals champions being referred to as “World Champions.”

Lyles drew criticism over the weekend when he questioned why only the United States and Canada are represented in the North American sports league, despite the NBA and its players being hailed as world champions.

“You know what hurts me the most is that I have to watch the NBA Finals and they have ‘world champion’ on their head,” the 26-year-old track star said at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest. “World champion of what? The United States? Don’t get me wrong, I love the U.S. at times. But that ain’t the world… There ain’t no flags in the NBA.”

The 6 God attacked Lyles in support of his NBA pals after learning about the shocking remarks. With his formal role as the Toronto Raptors’ ambassador, Drake is also connected to the league.

“He thought this speech was gonna be so hard in the mirror the night before… now the whole league doesn’t rate u,” Drake used a series of laughing emojis to respond to Akademiks’ repost of Lyles’ remarks.
