Rick Ross purchased the mansion a year after heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield lost it to foreclosure—he owed the bank a whopping $14 million. This summer the Atlanta residence, which is actually located in Fayetteville County, Ga., went back on the market for $8.2 million, but it hasn’t been revealed how much Rick Ross dropped on the mansion. At auction, the starting bid was $2.5 million.
With 235 acres to be mowed, along with a movie theater and bowling alley, it will cost the new homeowner $17,000 in electricity bills and another $1 million a year just to maintain the property. Congrads +RICK ROSS
Ty Dolla $ign ran into some legal trouble in Atlanta this afternoon (Sept. 5) after he was handcuffed and taken away by police, who searched what appeared to be his tour bus for drugs.
It's unclear at this point if he was actually arrested or just detained but weed laws in Georgia are notoriously strict. Video from the incident acquired by TMZ shows a handful of police officers going through Dolla's limousine van. At one point, a drug dog begins barking aggressively. A police officer can be heard telling Ty and his associates that he spotted some marijuana in the backseat of the car and asks if anyone wants to own up to it. They all remain silent.
Ty Dolla $ign and another individual can be seen later in handcuffs as they're escorted to a police car. The Beach House 3 crooner was in Atlanta to perform with G-Eazy, Lil Uzi Vert and YBN Nahmir on the Endless Summer Tour. It remains to be seen if he'll make the show tonight.
Atlanta rapper Rocko and another man were jailed Friday in Monroe County after the two were reportedly seen racing up Interstate 75 in a Rolls Royce and a BMW. Rocko, whose name is Rodney Ramone Hill Jr., was at the wheel of a late-model Rolls Royce Phantom when a Monroe deputy caught up with him near Forsyth about 1:30 p.m., said sheriff’s Lt. Brad Freeman.
Hill, 36, was not cited for speeding because the cars had slowed considerably when deputies spotted them, Freeman said. But Hill, also known as Rocko Da Don, was arrested on a pair of charges that included driving with a suspended license. The driver of a BMW that had been heading north with Hill kept going at speeds in excess of 150 mph, Freeman said.
Deputies found the BMW backed in at a gas station at the Johnsonville Road exit, a few miles north of the Georgia Public Safety Training Center. Its driver, Jason Philbert Wright, 26, of Decatur, faces felony fleeing-and-eluding charges and a string of traffic violations, a jail official said.
Hill, who according to his Wikipedia page has children with R&B singer Monica, scored a 2013 hit with the song “U.O.E.N.O.” His 2008 hip-hop album “Self Made” was also popular. Rolls Royces like the one he was said to be driving Friday cost about $500,000. But the license plate on it had expired and Hill was cited.
“You’d think a man with a Rolls Royce could afford a tag. But apparently not,” Freeman said. When Wright, the guy in the Beemer, didn’t stop, the deputy who had pulled over Hill gave chase, Freeman said. Hill later showed up at the Johnsonville Road exit — apparently to check on Wright, who was in custody, Freeman said.
By then, deputies had learned that Hill’s license was suspended and that his tag had expired, and they arrested him, Freeman said. Freeman said Wright was “part of (Hill’s) entourage, for lack of a better term.”
In one of the most shocking transactions of the NFL offseason so far, the Cleveland Browns have acquired Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans less than 24 hours after being informed by the quarterback that they were out of the running for his services.
A Georgia family lost nearly all of its possessions when the Craigslist movers it hired disappeared with a loaded truck. An unidentified woman victimized by the theft in Douglas County said that the belongings were worth $75,000.
“Ten years of memories, irreplaceable items, things that my husband and I worked hard for and earned. It’s just gone.” The truck, believed to be stolen, had nothing inside when it was found by police in Atlanta, though the family has mysteriously recovered some of its most important documents.
Birth certificates, death certificates and other essential papers were found when one box was discovered dumped two days later, though an iPad that had been inside was missing. A St. Louis couple across the country fell victim to a similar scheme late last year, paying $1,100 to a company they found on Craigslist and then waiting in vain for their items to show up in North Carolina.
Young Thug has been charged with eight felonies stemming from an arrest in Brookhaven, Georgia almost exactly a year ago. The news, first reported by TMZ today (Sept. 6), citing court documents viewed by XXL, show that Thug has been hit with some serious charges stemming from a drug and weapons arrest last September.
DeKalb County court records show that Thugger is facing charges of possession and intent to distribute meth, hydrocodone and weed. He's also charged with two counts of codeine possession and possession of amphetamine, Alprazolam (Xanax) and a firearm.
Police pulled Thugger over on Sept. 26, 2017 because the front windows of his car were illegally tinted. They then reportedly discovered 2.5 ounces of marijuana (a felony weight), a bevy of other drugs and $50,000 in cash.
Thug is due in court for his arraignment for the eight felonies on Oct. 9.
This certainly isn't the Atlanta rapper's first run-in with the law. He was recently arrested at Dave & Busters in Los Angeles during the listening party for his most recent project, Slime Language. Despite the arrest, the compilation mixtape still debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart.
The Cobb County District Attorney’s office said Friday it will decide in the next couple of weeks whether to charge an Atlanta rapper and a record executive as co-conspirators in the 2015 shooting of Dwayne “Lil Wayne” Carter’s tour bus.
Prosecutors claim Jimmy “Peewee Roscoe” Winfrey shot up the bus on I-285 after a concert as a way to gain status in a gang.
One theory they initially floated was that Bryan “Birdman” Williams and Jeffrey “Young Thug” Williams put him up to it.
The Georgia Supreme Court overturned Winfrey’s conviction last year after ruling the Cobb County judge improperly coerced him into taking a plea deal and accepting a 10-year prison sentence by threatening he would get more time if a jury convicted him in his court.
On Thursday, the Court of Appeals remanded the case back to Cobb County.
“Mr. Winfrey always denied being the shooter of the bus,” Manny Arora, who represented Winfrey in his first trial, told Channel 2’s Mike Petchenik.
The driver of the bus, Alvin Lewis, is suing Winfrey, Birdman and Young Thug, alleging they conspired in the shooting that caused him pain and suffering.
In a civil court filing this week, Lewis’ attorney, Jeff Gewirtz, included pieces of evidence from the criminal case that he argues point to that conspiracy.
Among the documents obtained by Petchenik, phone records that the lawsuit said shows Young Thug called Winfrey eight times in the 12 minutes leading up to the shooting.
Petchenik also obtained a jailhouse phone call referenced in the lawsuit. In it, Bryan “Birdman” Williams is talking to Winfrey.
“Time for you to come out here and get your money,” he can be heard telling Winfrey. “You did everything you could do boss ... it’s eye-opening. (It's) strictly business, man.”
Arora told Petchenik he doesn’t buy the conspiracy argument.
“The musician that was the intended target has never once said, 'these guys did it' or 'there was a beef,'” Arora said. “He’s actually been pretty silent on this whole issue.”
Arora said he believes the civil suit is a money grab.
“This is just a bus driver looking to get paid and they need a deep pocket so if you connect Mr. Winfrey to other musicians or executives, that makes it a viable case for them,” he said.
Quavious “Quavo” Marshall recently starred in the Peacock movie Praise This alongside R&B singer Chlöe Bailey. As part of the promotion for the film, the two musicians appeared on GOAT Talk.
This is significant because he is currently on state parole in Georgia, and due to the seriousness of his crime the charges usually trigger a state parole violation unless he is cooperating with the government.
