According to police documents and The Newman Times-Herald , Boosie and Allen were pulled over by police after allegedly swerving in and out of traffic, nearly sideswiping another vehicle in the process. The arresting officer stopped Boosie, real name Torrence Hath, Jr. and Allen, claiming to have smelled marijuana from the vehicle and subsequently searched it. He reportedly found approximately 11 grams of marijuana and a loaded 9mm handgun, as well as a bag containing a “large sum of cash” and a vape pen believed to have THC oil in it. Additionally, Boosie allegedly admitted to the officer to have talked on his phone while driving, a misdemeanor in Georgia. Both Boosie and Allen were charged with possession of marijuana, possession of a schedule one drug, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Boosie also had a failure to maintain lane charge added as well. Both men are being held at the Coweta County Jail in Newman. Boosie’s most infamous run in with the law came on a first-degree murder charge back in 2010. He had been sentenced at the time to eight years on various drug possession charges with the intent to distribute. He was found not guilty of the murder charges in 2012 and was released on parole in 2014. He remained on parole until last year.

Yee Haw Agenda: Lil Nas X And Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road (Remix)” Is Actually Fire

Read more from the original source:

Source: Lil Nas X / Columbia Records After his “Old Town Road” began burning up the Billboard Country charts, Lil Nas X felt a little bit of a backlash. Not because of the song because it’s actually fire. Instead, because Billboard removed it from the country charts. Apparently it wasn’t country enough for them. Well, enter  Billy Ray  Cyrus (Miley’s dad) and he winds up getting on the remix singing about riding down Rodeo Drive in a Masarati, Fendi sports bras and diamond rings. Is it country enough for you now, Billboard? Stream the song below. RELATED:  Lil Nas X Taps Billy Ray Cyrus for “Old Town Road” Remix RELATED:  Thoughts?

LAPD Believe Motive In Nipsey Hussle’s Murder Was Personal, Not Gang Related And That He Knew His Killer

Go here to read the rest:

Source: MARK RALSTON / Getty Los Angeles police informed the Los Angeles Times on Monday that they were making progress in the search for the gunman who shot and killed  Nipsey Hussle  on Sunday afternoon. The  Victory Lap rapper was gunned down in front of a shopping mall that he owned and prominently featured his  The Marathon clothing store. Law enforcement sources told the Times they believed the killer was someone that Hussle knew. Detectives also believe that although the gunman has gang ties, his motives were more likely personal in nature rather than a gang feud. The coroner officer’s said Monday that the 33-year-old succumbed to a gunshot wounds to the head and torso. He was shot six times in total, five bullets hitting him in his chest. The individual who shot Hussle did so at close range before leaving in a getaway car.

On Monday, multiple worlds from hip-hop to tech to most, if not all of Los Angeles stopped in paying their respects to the fallen rapper, entrepreneur, father, brother and businessman. “Driving down Slauson four in the morning, I can’t sleep,” The Game posted on Instagram. “S**t crazy, I’m disgusted by this s***.” Tributes were posted by the Los Angeles Metro, various school districts across the country, the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers. In Houston, Travis Scott  posted condolences on social media while NBA MVP  James Harden , a close friend of Hussle’s called it, “one of the worst days of my f**king life!” The pair were close as Hussle was on hand in Los Angeles last summer to watch Harden accept his MVP trophy and Harden personally requested nothing but Hussle’s music be played during Rockets pregame warmups.

It’s more torture than to pursue it and not get the results you want.”

Respect The OG: J. Prince Got YBN Almighty Jay’s Chain Back [PHOTO]

Source: Leon Provost / Leon Provost Remember what  J. Prince told  Kiotti , “Don’t let Instagram become your OG.” True enough, after video surfaced of some New York thugs hospitalizing and robbing  YBN Almighty Jay , the Rap-A-Lot CEO put out a calm warning to anybody who was involved in the attack on Jay. Not even a week after the message, J. Prince was good on his word and got YBN Almighty Jay’s chain back in proper possession. J. Prince confirmed the news via Instagram on Tuesday, but didn’t provide details on how he retrieved the stolen piece. “Real recognizes real in every hood and has a way of connecting in spite of clowns and squares,” Prince captioned a photo featuring French Montana . “The homies from the Bronx, KT, @hocus45th and @frenchmontana kept it real with me and my son @jprincejr. Tho it was never about the chain, it was about the name that was built off of blood, sweat, and tears […] To @ybnalmightyjay I’ll be returning your jewelry soon Lil homie.” View this post on Instagram Real recognizes real in every hood and has a way of connecting in spite of clowns and squares. – – The homies from the Bronx, KT, @hocus45th and @frenchmontana kept it real with me and my son @jprincejr – – Tho it was never about the chain, it was about the name that was built off of blood sweat and tears. – – I welcome these brothers to our #MobTies movement and look forward to us doing business in the future together. – – There’s power in numbers and when strong brothers from the streets align themselves with one another, suckas tremble.

The assailants took off with Almighty Jay’s money, the chain and left him requiring a number of stitches to his face. The chain made an appearance in a  Zae Numbafive music video, though Zae says he had nothing to do with the assault. J. Prince specifically called out Zae in a follow-up IG post, referring to the rapper as a “clown”. “They Recently Bragged About Robbing The Artist YBN Almighty Jay Whom I’m Invested In,” he wrote in the post last week. “They’ve Robbed Him Of His Money And Jewelry Including A Rap-A-Lot Piece. So Therefore They Have Robbed A Piece Of Me.” Unrelated to YBN Almighty Jay’s assault, Zae and three of his associates were arrested last week on federal charges, including attempted murder in the aid of racketeering. The men were allegedly involved in the shooting of an off-duty NYPD officer last October. RELATED:  J Prince: “Don’t Let IG Become Your OG” [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW] RELATED:  J.
