Darren Sharper Sentenced To 18 Years

Former NFL All-Decade Team Safety Darren Sharper was sentenced to 18 years in prison on Thursday, August 18. The 40-year-old fallen star was handed down the judgement following U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo's rejection of a plea deal that would have allowed for the Virginia native's release after nine years. Sharper plead guilty to conspiracy and distribution of Alprazolam, Diazepam, and Zolpidem with the intent to commit rape, back in March of 2015.

The charges that lead to a conviction stem from up to 16 women coming forward to accuse Sharper of drugging, and in some cases, sexting them on separate occasions between October 2013 and January 2014. Before Sharper admitted to the crimes, prosecutors were primed to go to court with the case, having discovered a trail of incidents across Arizona, Nevada, Louisiana, and California. "They didn't deserve anything being a part of my heinous decisions," Sharper cried, having just learned of his fate for the next two decades. "I still don't know why I lived my life right for 38 years, and then I took this path."

Through 14 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, and New Orleans Saints between 1997 and 2010, Sharper established himself as one of the best defensive players in the game. He was a Super Bowl champion [2010] and a 5-time Pro Bowler, who at the time of his retirement held firm at number six on the all-time interceptions list. In 2016, Sharper made the Hall of Fame ballot. It remains to be seen whether the committee will at some point elect to vote him into the Hall, considering the fact that off-field behavior is not supposed to be taken into account in the process.

Rapper Freeway Endorses Hillary Clinton for President

Freeway endorsed Hillary Clinton for president at a rally in a West Philadelphia High School this week. The rapper said he supports Clinton because she is for affordable health care as a right. Freeway suffers from kidney failure and needs to undergo dialysis three times a day, four times a week, according to PhillyMag. The care was $600 per month before he received insurance. He is currently awaiting a kidney transplant. “When I came out with my story on being on dialysis, I ran across many people that were going through the same thing that I’m going through,” he said. “Through the grace of God, I was able to be successful and able to afford my health care. But a lot of people can’t afford it. Even with my healthcare, my treatments are a little bit expensive.”

Freeway said he became a Hillary supporter after attending the DNC. He initially supported Senator Bernie Sanders. “Hillary did a lot of work helping children. She did a lot of work with different communities. She definitely for raising the minimum wage. It was so many people speaking so good about her, so many things that I didn’t know that influenced me [to switch],” he said. He also believes Bernie or bust people need to “be in the room” to still make a change and that they will not help anyone by sitting out this election.

Freddie Gibbs Formally Charged With Sexual Assault

Mid-West rapper Freddie Gibbs was formally charged with sexual abuse of a defenseless or psychologically impaired person on Tuesday, [August 16] after two and a half months in custody over allegations that he sexually assaulted two women in Vienna in 2015. He will face up to 10 years in an Austrian prison if convicted.

Gibbs was taken into custody before a show in France back in early June. The warrant for his arrest demanded that he be extradited to Austria, where he is alleged to have knocked a woman unconscious before imposing his sexual will on her. The incident is reported to have occurred while he was on tour in 2015. Gibbs' defense team has provided a statement in which they express confidence that he will be acquitted of wrong doing on account of a lack of "scientific, physical, or credible evidence." They cite that he has yet to have been afforded the opportunity to present evidence backing their own case, and have encouraged the public to refrain from rushing to judgement, stating: “While Freddie Gibbs was charged with an offense today, it remains only an allegation, and it does not in any way change the actual facts that Freddie Gibbs is 100% innocent."

YG And 4Hunnid Records Sign Multi-Million Dollar Deal

YG and 4Hunnid Records inked a multi-million dollar deal with Interscope this week.

The deal was made off the strength of YG and affiliates like DJ Mustard’s past work. The rapper discussed the deal with Billboard. “Joie [Manda, president of urban music at Interscope Geffen A&M] was really behind our whole movement and everything we had going on,” he said. “[Joie] knew what I did, who I had something to do with. With the album being a classic, [DJ] Mustard popping off, Ty [Dolla Sign] popping off ‘cause we all from the same camp, he felt like I could have my own label and do the same things we did for ourselves and other artists.”

Manda apparently has a lot of faith in YG and 4 Hunnid’s vision and is prepared to back them. John Janick, the CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M also expressed his excitement over the deal while speaking to Billboard. “YG has an unbelievable eye for talent and an innate understanding of what people want to hear. I know 4Hunnid and Interscope will do great things together.” YG hopes to do more than recruit artists with hot singles. He really wants to help new artists follow in his blueprint which involves constantly releasing new material. “It’s a lotta other artist-owned labels who want artists with hot singles like for right now and that’s cool because that’s the easy money but we getting brands. We teach artists how to build brands and be businessmen and business ladies.”

"It's not racism," Newton told GQ in a cover story published Monday online. "Everybody's entitled to their own opinion. I Like what he did with the situation. We learned earlier that Cam Newton has turned a blind eye to what his fans are considering criticism rooted in racism.

Now the true fans -- they know what’s up. They’re going to be supportive whatever happens. ... But people are going to judge and have their own opinion on certain things that I don’t have control over nor does anybody else.”
