NY Police testify against Lil Wayne for gun and kush charges from back in July:

Marijuana smoke was billowing out of rapper Lil’ Wayne’s tour bus when cops stopped it on the upper West Side and found a loaded gun, a police officer testified Monday. “You could see the smoke as well as smell it,” Officer Diane Hornung said. “You could smell marijuana.” Hornung found a loaded 9-mm. handgun in Lil’ Wayne’s bag after she boarded the bus and searched the vehicle “for my safety” on July 22, 2007. The rapper, who won an MTV Video Music Award for his hit “Lollipop” this week, had just taken a shower and was trying to hide the designer Louis Vuitton bag when Hornung burst into his curtained-off bedroom. “He flung it to the ground,” Hornung said. The rapper is challenging the police search of his plush tour bus and hopes to get a judge to toss out the gun find. Lil’ Wayne, 25, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, faces a felony weapons charge that could put him behind bars for 3-1/2 years. Continue »

He was booked into the Oklahoma County jail and remains there.

OJ is back fxckin up again telling people he gets high, and that they “force” him to take that, take that, take that:

If O.J. Simpson hasn’t been hitting Miami’s South Beach club scene recently, it’s not because he’s approaching retirement age. Rather, the shamed great says he’s afraid of getting busted with pocketfuls of illicit substances. In a never-before-seen interview shot in 2002 by producer Norman Pardo at the now-shuttered Club XL in Trenton, O.J., 61, tells of his disgust with all the samples forced upon him by would-be drug dealers. “You can’t go to the bathrooms in [South Beach] clubs without somebody saying, ‘Juice, you want a hit?’ You always get people handing you something. It might be a line of coke with a phone number [in case] you want more,” said Simpson, who goes on trial today in Las Vegas on kidnapping and armed-robbery charges.

This nicca is fxcked up, from getting bust in the ‘back’ of the head by his own daughter, to having the hired help smash his piece.

For any dopeman the Juice is a ideal customer. He was probably worried, looks high as a kite on the interview, and was trying to “cover his tracks”. He will snitch! Orenthal the goof ball is a wash. He is supposed to be going to trial today…60 some odd years old and he still catching cases and puffin rocks. SMH

This nicca stay in the news:

A cop pulled a gun on rap mogul Sean (Diddy) Combs during a routine traffic stop in Los Angeles, authorities said Sunday. A Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy briefly brandished his weapon at Combs on the Sunset Strip after cops pulled over a car driven by a member of his entourage.

“A deputy pulled his firearm, fearing for his safety,” said a sheriff’s department spokesman. “The situation was deflated as quickly as it began.” Combs spokeswoman Keesha Johnson said the cop did not pull the gun directly on the rapper, and stressed that the officers were “really respectful.”

The trouble started when a member of Combs’ entourage was stopped at 3:15a.m. Saturday after cops noticed the rental car he was driving didn’t have proper tags. The deputy called for backup after two cars stopped nearby as the deputy searched the vehicle, police said. One member of the group was detained when he became uncooperative, prompting six or seven others – including Combs – to advance toward the deputy, a source said. The driver was not issued a ticket because the car was a rental, and nobody was hurt in the incident, police said.

Snoop from The Wire is the culprit this time:

Police arrested popular actress Felicia “Snoop” Pearson on minor drug charges on Wednesday (August 20), after she was detained for refusing to cooperate as a witness in a murder trial. Members of Baltimore’s Homicide Unit entered Snoop’s Northeast Baltimore home with a “body attachment” warrant, which allowed authorities to arrest and detain her. Once inside, they also found two cigars filled with what is allegedly marijuana as well as marijuana residue. Police may detain Snoop until September 16, when the murder trial of her associate Steven James Lashley begins. Lashley is accused of stabbing three men – one fatally – outside a Baltimore New York Fried Chicken, in Snoop’s defense. Snoop already told investigators that she wasn’t involved in the stabbing.

“He [Roseborough] ain’t try to flirt with me or no [s**t] like that,” Pearson told investigators. “It was so tight in there…I’m like what [s**t] man get out of my face.”

According to The Baltimore Sun, a warrant was issued for Snoop on July 1, after she missed an April 21 trial date. She also recently avoided prosecutors’ phone calls in regards to the trial. Snoop was sentenced to eight years in prison in 1996 at the age of 14, for shooting and killing Okia “Kia” Toomer during a dispute between the two females.

It’s wack what trouble a little kush on the table can get you, but goddamn Snoop was murking fools at 14. SMH.

With some shady gunfire recently at a Rick Ross charity event in Miami, some are speculating a recent beatdown by Officer Ross against a DJ is in effort to regain some credibility. The DJ is going after 4 million in stacks with a lawsuit:

According to the suit, Vlad received a text message from Ross on the afternoon of the Ozone Awards that read, “N—– will learn … trillaaaa.” Vlad had interviewed Ross twice before, which is allegedly how the MC obtained Vlad’s phone number. After the DJ inquired about who the text was from, Ross allegedly responded, “Ross … I’m hearing things.”

A short time later, according to the suit, Ross called Vlad and said, “I’ve been hearing things about me on your Web site. … We gonna make a story. … We going to see each other. … We going to talk. … Where are you?” Upon learning that both men were in town for the Ozone Awards, Ross allegedly set up a time for the meeting on the second floor of the Hilton Hotel in Houston and arrived accompanied by four other people.

“Following a brief conversation between DJ Vlad and Ross in which Ross said, ‘We got beef,’ Ross’ accomplices, who had surrounded DJ Vlad while he spoke with Ross, proceeded to strike and beat DJ Vlad in Ross’ presence and without any protest on Ross’ part,” the suit says. The men then reportedly fled the scene and left Vlad laying on the ground “bleeding profusely” after one attacker shouted, “Yeah, mother—-er, that’s what you get.”

It’s going to take a lot more than a beatdown of this little white dude to come off that CB4 status. Dude that got beat down should have known that one-time doesn’t play around. smh.

Here we go again:

DMX was arrested for the sixth time this year as he attempted to go shopping on Thursday afternoon in Miami. The arrest was the result of a skipped court date Tuesday, the result of drug charges in Arizona. Police in Miami, Florida arrested and handcuffed the Yonkers-bred artist as he attempted to leave an area Wal-Mart. DMX was reportedly trying to surrender to police through negotiations with his lawyer. The Miami police apprehended him before those talks could come to fruition. The 37-year-old chart-topping rapper was to appear in Arizona for a pretrial conference for allegations of marijuana and drug paraphernalia possession. DMX, born Earl Simmons, faces a number of charges in Phoenix, Arizona, ranging from animal cruelty charges to taking on the personality of another person.

Getting arrested in the Wal-Mart parking lot must have embarrassing as hell, that’s the direct opposite of low-key. It be a million mfers shopping there on a daily basis. Get it the fu*k together Earl. We sincerely hope this is the last time we have to write about his ass getting arrested.
