Kodak Black Says Cops & Media Violated His Constitutional Rights By Publishing Photo Of Rapper In Shackles (Exclusive)

Source: Thaddaeus McAdams / Getty Kodak Black Facing Federal Weapons Charges Following Miami Arrest Last Week Kodak Black has blasted the media and the feds for allegedly releasing a picture of him after last week’s gun bust in order to gloat about nabbing a big name. That’s according to new legal docs from the troubled rapper, who is coming out swinging against his recent gun arrest at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami. Using his new legal name, Bill K. Kapri, the “Tunnel Vision” rapper filed court docs claiming that the media and law enforcement violated his constitutional rights when they disseminated a photo of him in shackles and street clothes at the Miami-Dade police station. Kodak said there was no reason for the cops and media to snap and distribute the pic – other than to create a “news spectacle” and for law enforcement to brag about catching such a big fish. The photo was released “for the purpose of creating a news spectacle in showcasing a Grammy-nominated artist shackled and in custody for all to see,” Kodak’s motion, which was obtained by BOSSIP, states. “Quite simply, there was no law enforcement or security rationale, and this was nothing more than a personal frolic for law enforcement to posture.” Source: Atlantic Records The feds raided Kodak’s tour bus May 11 while he was en route to perform at the festival. The photo in question is of a handcuffed Kodak waiting to be transported to federal detention, his court docs state. Kodak wants the police and the media to be barred from distributing any photos of him without a legit law enforcement or security purpose. The news comes as the prosecutor in his South Carolina rape case asked a judge to revoke his $100,000 bond because of his repeated arrests. A high school girl accused Kodak of sexually assaulting her following a concert in Columbia in 2016. A judge has yet to rule on either motion.

In a PEOPLE exclusive , the rapper actor revealed his heartbreak after splitting with Badu in 2002: “With Erykah Badu, that was my first love where you’re just open and floating,” he says of the singer he reportedly dated for two years prior to their split in 2002. “When we split, I was 27 or 28. I was in a haze, just going through the motions. It was hard to eat.” Still he says, “It wasn’t her fault, the relationship just didn’t go forward.” Dang son… She left him unable to EAT. Hopefully he was still able to drink tea though, riiiight. Apparently Badu wasn’t the only woman who hurt Common either. “Some of the hardest work I’ve done on myself has been after breakups,” says the star. “I was in another breakup after that that was heavy,” he says without specifying which relationship. “That one honestly is what sent me to therapy.” “Talking about my intimacy avoidance and love addiction was an “aha” moment for me,” he says of traits he’s learned about himself in therapy. “The more you talk, the more you see the patterns you created for yourself.” He adds, “I’m open to a relationship now. I know how to communicate like an adult now. I want to be the best partner I can be.” We’re so glad he sought help. Common’s been linked with a whole lot of famous ladies. In addition to Erykah, he’s also dated Serena Williams , wasw rumored to have dated Regina Hall and Angela Rye.

Justice System Trash: ACLU And Texas Civil Rights Project To Rep Crystal Mason After She’s Sentenced 5 Years For Voting

Source: Sirijit Jongcharoenkulchai / EyeEm / Getty Crystal Mason To Be Repped By ACLU And Texas Civil Rights Project Last year we reported on a woman named Crystal Mason who was sentenced to five years in prison for “illegally” voting. For those who are unaware, Crystal had just been released from prison for tax fraud and was still on probation when she cast a provisional ballot for the 2016 election. She was unaware of a Texas law that stated that she was not allowed to vote due to her criminal status. Thus, she was sentenced to more time in the bing. According to HuffPo , Crystal is seeking a new trial to be released and the ACLU and Texas Civil Rights Project have stepped in to help her. Mason’s lawyers told the Court of Appeals in November she deserves a new trial because the statute she was convicted under is vague, and that the ballot she cast ultimately did not count since it was a provisional ballot. They also argue that she received ineffective counsel from her trial attorney. Oral argument is set for the case on June 4 in Fort Worth. “The prosecution of Crystal Mason for the innocent mistake of casting a provision ballot that wasn’t even counted is a severe injustice,” Andre Segura, an attorney with the ACLU of Texas who will help represent Mason, said in a statement. “Ms. Mason simply attempted to follow the law and participate in what she believed to be her civic duty, and in return has been sentenced to an outrageous length of time in prison.” This country is full of s#!t.

Florida MAGAs: Trump Speeches Will Air EVERY HOUR On Three Florida Radio Stations Until The 2020 Election

Source: The Washington Post / Getty Three Florida Radio Stations Will Air Snippets Of Donald Trump Speeches Every Hour We shouldn’t have to remind you of the 2016 election to caution you against 45’s influence. The Cheeto charred man in the White House has a base that’s ride-or-die , so much that three radio stations are giving him major airtime. According to the Orlando Sentinel , three local radio stations in Florida’s Panhandle announced that they would air Donald Trump speeches every hour and every day until the 2020 election. The announcement comes two days after Trump rallied his base in the area, vowing hundreds of millions of dollars in aid for the hurricane-devastated region. The stations set to broadcast the speech include Classic Rock WRBA-FM 95.9, Country WKNK-FM “Hank FM” and Adult Hits WASJ-FM “BOB FM.” They’re all under the newly formed company Gulf Coast Media, owned by Samuel Rogatinsky . According to Rogatinsky, each station will broadcast two-minute bites of Trump speeches every hour, sometimes twice an hour, until the presidential race. “We ran it by a bunch of listeners and people in the area, and nobody’s upset about it. It’s Republican territory,” Rogatinsky said. “Nobody’s offended by it. It’s not an issue.” The three stations, which cover Bay County, have facilities that were damaged by Hurricane Michael last fall, to the point that they went off the air for a couple months. Rogatinsky said Panhandle residents have been feeling forgotten in the last seven months since the Category 5 hurricane. He says they were inspired by Trump’s speech at his rally on Wednesday in Panama City Beach. “No games, no gimmicks, no delays,” Trump vowed of the funding. “We’re just doing it.” Mhm. Gulf Coast Media wrote in a press release: “ Gulf Coast Media, Inc. senior management acknowledged that broadcasting the President’s speeches may not be consistent with conventional commercial FM radio, but we have taken this approach to show the community’s sincere appreciation for President Donald Trump’s work in Panama City and Bay County.” Riiiight. As mentioned earlier, the MAGAs love their pres, no matter how much BS comes from his annoyingly perched lips. Rogatinsky told MSN that his three stations will offer similar airtime to other candidates if requested and as a way of complying with the Federal Communications Commission’s equal time guidelines. “Really, we just want to have inspirational type things because the community is so down,” he told the Orlando Sentinel . “Nobody else is really promising or doing anything. They want to hear what he has to say.” *Sigh* Aight.
