Rapper Young Buck is again behind bars, after he was allegedly heard threatening to set his ex girlfriend’s apartment on fire. The rapper allegedly threatened his ex girlfriend on July 20, went to her apartment and kicked down the door during yet another domestic dispute with the woman. Young Buck was arrested for the incident the next day, but was quickly released on $5,000 bond. The allegation could prove to be problematic for Young Buck, who is on probation for possessing a handgun and ammunition in 2013. Prosecutors sought to lock up the rapper last March, also for making threats, this time against a man attempting to collect back child support owed to one of his other children. The Nashville rapper has also made threatening text messages referencing his Ex’s new boyfriend, allegedly promising to “slap his face” and beat him up for the man’s reference to deadbeat dads, which Young Buck took personally.

Another Police Shooting Has The Hip Hop Community Crying Foul.
Charles Kinsey was reportedly unarmed when he was shot in the leg by police in Miami this past Monday, while lying on the ground with his hands in the air. Kinsey is a behavioral therapist who was supervising an autistic man. Moments before the shot was fired, video captured Kinsey lying on the ground with his hands in the air next to a man sitting cross-legged with an item at his feet. “All he has is a toy truck, a toy truck. I’m a behavior therapist at a group home,” Kinsey can be heard saying to the officers.
He told the officers he was unarmed and really did not think his life was in danger, but was more concerned about his patient. “I was really more worried about him than myself because I know as long as I got my hands up, they’re not going to shoot me,” he says. “This is what I’m thinking, ‘They’re not going to shoot me.’ Wow was I wrong.”
The actually shooting incident was not captured, but Mr. Kinsey insists he held his hands up the entire time. Officers approached the wounded man, patted him down and handcuffed him. Kinsey is quoted saying “When he hit me, I’m like, I still got my hands in the air and I know I just got shot. I’m like, ‘Sir, why did you shoot me?’ He’s like, ‘I don’t know,’” he says.
A press conference held Thursday by the North Miami Police Department acknowledges there was no gun found at the scene. NMPD has handed the investigation over to an outside agency in hopes that it will prove the department’s commitment to transparency and objectivity,
I don’t know what to do now… Lay on the ground w my arms up, reach for ID, sit still, help the autistic hell idk https://t.co/Fe763tdjwp

Rap-A-Lot founder J. Prince Puts Birdman’s “respek” on blast
J. Prince causing the internet to go wild with jokes and memes, Birdman was the headline of the week this past April, maybe even the month. We all remember the day the Cash Money Records CEO reportedly walked into Breakfast Club Studios and refused to give an interview, instead demanding “respek” on his name from the show’s hosts.
Birdman later apologised to the hosts and made light of the incident by recording a song and creating the “Respek” apparel line. Well apparently not everyone was amused with the stunt and memories are not as short as the rapper would like.
At the GoDJ Awards earlier this week in Houston, Rap-A-Lot executive J. Prince mocked Birdman in his speech that was captured and shared on Instagram by BallerAlert. “Y’all look hungry. A lot of people look hungry out there and I’m hungry up here,” says J. Prince on stage. “I got to. It’s a beautiful thing. Let’s just respect it. We don’t want to go around, we not gon’ beg nobody to put no respek on our name because we already respected. We’re not that kind of people. We put respek on our own name. Therefore, we ain’t gotta do no plea bargain about put some respek on our name. Just know that and represent that and I’m with you. One love.”
RAP ARTIST DEPOSIT MONEY INTO BLACK OWNED BANKS
Atlanta rappers Killer Mike & T.I. along with other local talent created and celebrated a campaign launched earlier this month aimed at bolstering black-owned financial institutions after multiple high-profile police killings raised awareness of institutional inequality.
So far it appears that the 95 year old Citizens Trust Bank, based in Atlanta is the campaigns reigning beneficiary. With branches scattered through Georgia and Alabama CTB reported a surge of over 8,000 new accounts in recent days. Along with help from the high-profile Atlanta based artists taking to social media, the campaign is thriving across the country. Several Houston area performers such as Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Willie D, Trae The Truth, and others opened accounts at Texas’ Unity National Bank.
A main catalyst in the movement, Killer Mike, called into the July 8th airing of BET News Town Hall Meeting to implore the black community to deploy “a portion” of its financial resources to make a difference. “We cannot go out in the street and start bombing, shooting and killing,” the rapper said during the town hall. “I encourage none of us to engage in acts of violence that will cause more peril to our community and others that look like us. I encourage us to take our warfare to financial institutions.”
The objective of the campaign is to bring together the black communities’ economics collectively, to help businesses grow and help people obtain home loans. “That brings them closer to the American dream,” said Frederick Daniels Jr., executive vice president and chief credit officer of Citizens Trust Bank. “The bank is at the center of a “true movement. We’re providing a tangible solution for those who want action.”
