Rapper Records Shooting Himself In The Face To Draw Attention To His Fledgling Career

The epidemic of wanna-be celebrities going to great lengths to rile up publicity and gain that 15 minutes of fame seems to have no end in sight.  One rapper opted to shoot himself in the face to garner some attention for his struggling career.

“I swallowed the bullet…if I die, fuck it,” says Rapper Kasper Knight, who kept talking in his Facebook post after shooting himself through the cheek.  The video has served its assumed purpose, receiving over a half a million views as of this writing.  There is widespread speculation that the shooting was a prank, since the bullet never pierced the opposite side of the rappers face.  Also, the bullet would have been much too hot to be immediately swallowed after being discharged.  Knight had a quick response for those questioning the integrity of the shooting.

Ironically, Kasper Knight is quoted as saying “You guys are a mess. We got black people blaming my facial mutilation on whites, whites blaming it on blacks, conservatives blaming it on liberals, liberals blaming the gun, random fucks blaming it on Mexicans, and conspiracy theorists asking for proof even though we have a full blown unedited video on deck.”  Unedited and unbelievable, it’s yet to be proven if the video and following Facebook rant helps the rappers career.  

Katt Williams’ Arrest Record Has Surpassed His Accomplishments

The embattled comedian and actor Katt Williams was arrested in the early morning hours on Sunday, July 24 at the Sportsmen’s Lodge Restaurant in affluent Sherman Oaks, California for misdemeanor battery after allegedly attacking a restaurant employee.  Williams was taken into custody at the scene, where a female employee claimed the comedian had attacked and punched her.  Law enforcement sources claim the woman displayed visible, but minor injuries, and Williams was subsequently arrested for misdemeanor battery. He is currently in custody with bail set at $20,000.  This is is hardly the first time Williams has lashed out and been hit with battery-related charges. His last outburst occurred in April, when he was arrested following a brawl with employees at a seafood restaurant in Atlanta.  The newly reported California arrest marks the fifth arrest for Williams in just the last 4 ½ months; after reportedly engaging in a nasty altercation with a 17-year-old, allegedly assaulting one of his bodyguards, and supposedly punching an employee at a pool supply store.  Previous reports state the star has also been accused of holding five women at gunpoint after they tried to film a meeting with him.  With the past catching up with him, the embattled 42-year-old is due to stand trial for a felony count of robbery after allegedly stealing a camera from a photographer in Beverly Hills, California in 2014, during a night out with incarcerated rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight.

Dr. Dre Retained And Searched By Cops In Alleged Road Rage Case

Dr. Dre got cuffed and patted down by Sheriff’s deputies outside his Malibu home after an alleged road rage incident over a man blocking Dre’s driveway.  Those close to the Aftermath Entertainment founder and CEo tell of a motorist who had pulled over off the Pacific Coast Highway and parked in front of Dre’s home. Sources say Dre asked the man to move his vehicle which the man then did.  However, during the entire encounter the man was heard cursing obscenities at the hip hop mogul.  Dre pulled into his driveway while the man continued to yell.  Responding as many have in recent months, Dre pulled out this phone and began to record live video to document the unraveling motorist.  Dre sources claim the man was heard saying “Here we go again, another black guy with a gun.” L.A. County Sheriff’s tell us the motorist called 911 to report someone pulled a gun on him.  When deputies responded they were seen putting handcuffs on the multi-millionaire artist in his driveway and searching him. Sheriff’s deputies found no gun, and let Dre go. However, the man insisted on making a citizen’s arrest, which means he filled out a report detailing his side of the story.  The Sheriff’s Dept. will forward the arrest complaint to the District Attorney  who will decide whether there’s a case. Dre was not arrested by deputies.

Suge Knight denied visit from minor son; continues fighting with the Court

Suge Knight is battling with the courts again regarding his treatment in jail, this time over family visitation.  Knight appealed to the court last month when a judge then signed a court order to allow his 7 year old son Legend visitation.  However, late last week Knight’s son and mother were denied access to the jail where Knight is being held.

Even after producing the court order allowing for the visit, the Men’s County Jail blocked the visit from the lone minor named in the court order due to the Jail’s policy of not allowing visitation of a minor without adult supervision.  The child’s mother and Knight’s fiance’, Tio-Lin Kelly tried to get on the order with her child but was denied.  The former head of Death Row records is due in court again next week.

Chuck D. Sounds Off On Growing Tensions Between Police & Citizens, Criticizes Media Coverage In Newly Released Interview

When recently interviewed by Billboard, Chuck D. did not hold back when asked about the recent violence between law enforcement and citizens happening on almost a weekly basis Nation wide.  The Public Enemy alumni is quoted as saying  “WTF. That was my first reaction. I mean, do you have the words for things like that? I had no words for what happened in Baton Rouge.  I still have no words for it,” Chuck D. said. “And in Falcon Heights they went and covered that woman’s boyfriend Philando Castile that just got killed — I was even more silent. And then I totally had no words for what happened in Dallas…,” replies e rapper when asked of his initial reaction to the growing controversies, senseless deaths and retaliation against Law Enforcement.  He also shared how he sees media giants irresponsibility in airing or airing and editing actually first account video.  We’re in the era where a picture tells you a thousand words, but now we got a thousand pictures and it doesn’t do that,” Chuck D. snapped. “You got a thousand pictures per person out there in the world. I just thought that was lazy low-fi journalism.”  The outspoken legend is advocating for media to have the discipline to stick to facts in their reporting regardless of what the outcome may be.

Young Buck Arrested For Threatening his Ex With Arson

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,

 

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.”
