According to All Hip Hop, Rick Ross the rapper has been indicted for pistol whipping his groundskeeper at his Atlanta home last summer. 

The Florida rapper & CEO of Maybach Music Group mostly raps about the street chronicles of famous gangsters, but now he is getting a chance to live out his own rhymes in real life. Being indicted is good for street cred in today’s music so….

Anybody know how much a pistol whipping charge holds? 

Peep the story on All Hip Hop:

Rick Ross will be facing a judge in a case where he allegedly pistol whipped a groundskeeper at his mansion with a Glock.

Ross has countered stating that the man was using is guest house as a venue for cocaine parties. Ross’ lawyers maintain that the rapper was acting in self defense as he encountered intruders on his property. They have yet to contest the actual pistol whipping.

Ross has been indicted on egregious offenses, including kidnapping, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, and possession of a firearm while committing a crime. The original incident started in June 2015.

The trial date has yet to be set.

In a fun reversal, Bruce Willis is playing the Hans Gruber role in the upcoming heist film Precious Cargo.

Kate del Castillo Still Moving Forward With “El Chapo” Movie

Via Mexico News Daily– Work on a biographical film about drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán is going ahead, according to Harland Braun, attorney for Mexican actress Kate del Castillo.

He said the woman who portrayed a drug cartel boss in the television series La Reyna del Sur, or Queen of the South, will continue to work on a film portraying the life of the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.

It will tell how Guzmán succeeded in rising from humble beginnings to become the world’s biggest drug trafficker, Braun said, and will tell the good along with the bad.

The film will be “done correctly because Joaquín Guzmán is part of Mexican history just as the Mafia has been part of the history of the United States.”

The lawyer also said there is no sign that the U.S. is investigating the actress, although he suspected there might be one into the links between her and the cartel boss. But they won’t find anything, he predicted.

The film about Guzmán has been discussed since 2014 when his lawyers contacted del Castillo about the project. According to information compiled by Mexico’s Attorney General’s office, del Castillo was to act as an intermediary with well known filmmakers and actors.

An Argentinean writer was to be contracted to write the script.

The plan was reportedly discussed further when the actress secretly visited Guzmán, along with actor Sean Penn, in October last year while he was on the run.
