DJ Akademiks Swears He’s Not The Tekashi69 Confidential Informant

Posted on December 1, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

See original here:

Source: Earl Gibson III / Getty DJ Akademiks got hit with the snitch tag by the Internets. However, the Everyday Struggle co-host insists he is not the confidential informant in the federal case against Tekashi69 and his now former Treyway affiliates.  Akademiks was accused by a Hip-Hop blog of being the loose-lipped informant, which went as far as saying Tekashi’s former manager and co-defendant  Kifano “Shotti” Jordan’s lawyer is who fingered him as the snitch. Worth noting, Shotti is one of the voices heard allegedly plotting to harm his former client on a federal wiretap . However, TMZ heard from the lawyer , Scott Leemon,  who claims he never said such a thing. Akademiks also spoke to TMZ, and vehemently denied the claim. Akademiks told TMZ he has “zero connection to this criminal case against Daniel Hernandez & other co-defendants. I view them as good people to me.” He added, “All these charges are a shock to me and do not involve me. I have never been questioned or much less cooperated in this. I am just a news reporter.” Also, no, he’s a not a news reporter. But what Akademiks did do is recklessly bring up Casanova’s name on Twitch. This, despite the Brooklyn rapper squashing his beef with Tekashi69 months ago. hes on Twitch… pic.twitter.com/6MzQAlqTHK — Mig-L (@M1guelCh1nes) November 28, 2018 Sometimes it’s best to say nothing at all. That’s probably something Tekashi69 is thinking about as he sits in a cell thinking about what went wrong as he faces life in prison.

Breaking News: Troy Ave Indicted On Attempted Murder

Posted on June 9, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Rapper Faces 40 Years In Prison If Convicted Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave was formally indicted Thursday for shooting up the VIP area at a TI concert last month. A grand jury decided there was enough evidence to formally charge Troy Ave, real name Roland Collins, with attempted murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon – all felonies. During a hearing Thursday in Manhattan Criminal Court, prosecutors presented a certificate of grand jury action, indicating that Collins was indicted. The case was also moved to Manhattan Supreme Court – the same venue where fellow Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda is fighting gang conspiracy charges. If he’s convicted, Troy Ave could get up to 40 years in state prison on just the attempted murder charge. Cops released video of a bleeding Troy Ave shooting wildly at an unknown person backstage at the TI concert at Irving Plaza in Manhattan. Troy Ave did not appear at the hearing at Manhattan Criminal Court, but is due back in court July 7 for his arraignment. Earlier this month, he released a song from lockup proclaiming his innocence. We’ve reached out to Troy Ave’s lawyer, Scott Leemon, for comment.
