How Many Attempts Are They Going To Take To Bring Down R. Kelly


I don't know what the FEDs and the media are trying to achieve by trying to bring down the King of R&B, but so far, every attempt has been unsuccessful. From having so called medical records, to new victims coming out of the wood work, how much does it take to bring down one man.

Singer R. Kelly allegedly gave a 19-year-old fan a sexually transmitted disease by having unprotected sex with her despite knowing that he had herpes, new court documents claim. I'm like. com-on, are they doing everything to make R. Kelly look bad or not? This is just a bad look for the singer.

So recently, new documents were filed in Brooklyn Federal Court, that went on to claim that Kelly met with Doe after the performance at a hotel room that he booked for her and had unprotected sex with her.

Lil Wayne Shares His Top Five Rappers

 


Lil Wayne, whose list is quite a doozy, containing both the expected picks and some left-field surprises that actually make sense when you consider his own unique approach to the art of rap. Wayne gave his answer in a special edition of What’s Wright? With Nick Wright, a podcast version of the Fox Sports personality’s popular show.


Almost as well known for his affinity for hip-hop as Wayne is for his sports referencing raps, Wright offers his own list (a pretty humdrum collection including the usual picks: Jay-Z, Tupac, Wayne himself, Kanye West, and T.I.), which Wayne says he respects. Then Wayne starts off his own list with a pick that far too few people include for my taste, Missy Elliott. Vindication!

Will Tekashi 6ix9ine Be Released This Year?


Things are looking really good for rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine as another member from his gang pleads guilty. Police say the gang have carried out acts of murder, robbery and narcotics trafficking in Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn.

Although 6ix9ine faces life, if all member plead guilty, he may have the chance to be free in September or early 2020.

He admitted that he helped the gang kill someone to “maintain or increase my own standing in Nine Trey” and claimed that the gang engaged in “shooting at people, robbing people and, at times, drug trafficking.”

Tekashi 6ix9ine struck a witness protection deal if he revealed further criminal information: "The plea deal also says ‘it is understood that the defendant’s cooperation is likely to reveal the activities of individuals and that witness protection may be required at a later date."

Back in November, his lawyer previously attempted to get bail for Hernandez – set at $1 million and to include house arrest and surrendering his passport – but the judge denied it, saying the rapper may still be a danger to the community even if the conditions were met.

Sentencing is scheduled for January 2020 and he would have faced a mandatory minimum 47-year sentence if he had not cooperated with federal officials. 6ix9ine has publicly identified himself as a member of a violent New York gang, Nine Trey Bloods.

In 2015, Tekashi 6ix9ine was sentenced to probation when he pleaded guilty for his involvement in a sexually explicit video of a 13-year-old girl. Under his plea deal, 6ix9ine was told he must obtain his GED, refrain from posting sexually explicit or violent images of women or children to social media.

6ix9ine faces a maximum sentence of life in prison unless all members plead guilty to their case.

Marijuana Experiment Blows Up

Anthony Gambale, 19, and girlfriend Gabriella Katanov, 17, were critically injured with second- and third-degree burns at 2:20 a.m. inside a Marine Parkway garage in Brooklyn, police said. The massive blast occurred when one of the couple lit a cigarette while trying to evaporate off the gas.

The explosion rocked the sleeping residential neighborhood and sent the garage up in flames. Gambale and Gabriella were rushed to Staten Island University Hospital, where they remain in serious condition. “Their lungs are good . . . but from the waist up, all burned. Her hands, too. She could be in the hospital for a year. She needs surgery. The doctors said it will get worse every day.”

Cops found a “large amount” of marijuana, including pot plants, plastic storage containers, plastic tabs, coffee filters, glass pans and butane. The couple had filled a blue 30-gallon tub with cannabis and covered it in butane.

Hanz Gable
Varied. dynamic. melodic. knowledgeable. political, & connected .. each of these characteristics describe an aspect of Brooklyn, NY born rapper Hanz Gable’s persona and his debut EP, I’ll Drink To That, puts his full spectrum on display. “My style is versatile, man” he declares.

Though I’ll Drink To That is his first collection, this is not his first rodeo. Hanz is far from a green, new artist. His career touches three different decades over which he’s released material independently, opened for Kanye West in London at the Brixton Academy and cashed checks as a ghostwriter.
