On Today: Diddy Was Acquitted Of NYC Night Club Shooting

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 20 years since the now infamous NYC nightclub “incident” involving Diddy & his entourage. I remember it so vividly. Such a travesty and a reminder to be loyal to those who are loyal to you.

The shooting landed Puffy’s artist, Jamal “Shyne” Barrow, behind bars and some hip hop heads crying foul because Puffy seemingly distanced himself from the young “Bad Boy” artist once shit got real. Fans accused the bad boy mogul of leaving his artist on his own to fight the case and rot in prison.

Puffy’s mugshot. He was also arrested after fleeing the shooting scene and was chased by the cops. They found a loaded handgun under the front seat of the vehicle he was riding in

It all started one night in 1999:

On December 27, Shyne, along with Combs and his then-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, allegedly were involved in a high-profile shooting incident at a Manhattan club, which left three people injured and the 21-year-old rapper, whose debut album was pending release, facing charges of attempted murder, assault, and reckless endangerment.

On today’s date in 2001, Puffy, thanks to his own “dream team” of high profile defense attorneys, including famed Johnny Cochran, was found not guilty of any charges.

Shyne was sentenced to 10 years.

Jennifer Lopez decided she really wasn’t about that hip hop life & relinquished her “Jenny from the block” moniker & distanced herself from Puffy. The power couple soon broke up and she started dating Hollywood actor, Ben Affleck.

Puffy went on to become Diddy and grow his Bad Boy enterprise into one of the most powerful conglomerates in hip hop & entertainment.

Crazy.

Atlanta Rappers Johnny Cinco & YFN Lucci Shoot Up Arkansas Nightclub

The rap game has seemingly replaced the dope game in terms of danger levels “on the job.” Nowadays rappers are almost always targets for violence and the line between fan & foe has become foggy.

Personally I love hip hop, but I don’t frequent many clubs/concerts anymore, mainly because folks don’t know how to act. A fight or shoot out(s) is almost guaranteed. I definetly don’t need the trouble anymore. I left that in my 20’s.

Anyway, a shocking video has surfaced online of ATL rappers YFN Lucci & Johnny Cinco scuffling with a crew of their concert goers in Little Rock, Arkansas.

According to the Internet streets, a fight broke out and goons in the crowd made attempts to snatch one of the rappers’ chains. The result was gunfire in the middle of a crowded nightclub. Surprisingly, no reports have surfaced of anyone being hit.

Shit is really real out here in those rap streets! Read more on XXL

Did Suge Knight Kill Eazy E?

If all of the rumors that surround Marion ‘Suge’ Knight are true, then Marion ‘Suge’ Knight is a bonafide monster.

First there were rumors that he had a hand in Tupac’s demise, and now Eazy E?

The newest suspicion is that Suge had Eazy E injected with the AIDS virus! Eeek!

According to All Hip Hop:

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s Layzie Bone believes Eazy-E’s death was a conspiracy after Eazy died just months within testing positive for HIV.

Layzie Bone recalls being in New York when Eazy caught a cold and said his illness became worse within a 4-month timespan.

The rapper said it never fully added up for him because by February he had full blown AIDS, and by March he was gone. Layzie also says he saw Suge Knight’s 2003 Jimmy Kimmel interview where he made jokes about Eazy being poked by an infected needle.
