Rapper Nelly Arrested On Felony Drug And Gun Charges In Tennessee

According to Fox News, Nelly (rapper) was pulled over by the police in “Ten-a-key” (that’s Tennessee for all of you non-hood-non-southerners) last night/early this morning and arrested on several charges, both felonies and misdemeanors.

The charges range from gun possession and drug (marijuana, meth) possession –to anything else the cops could pin on him.

My question here is why the meth? I wasn’t aware that meth was even remotely a drug of choice within the hip hop community, apparently I don’t know much!

Peep the article below!

Rapper and reality TV star Nelly is facing felony drug charges after being arrested in Tennessee on Saturday.

Tennessee Highway Patrol said in a news release that Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes, was pulled over about 9:20 a.m. because the bus he was riding in failed to display a U.S. Department of Transportation and International Fuel Tax Association sticker.

According to the release troopers smelled marijuana when they reached the bus.

When troopers searched the bus, they found five rocks that tested positive for meth, as well as a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Troopers also say they found numerous handguns.

The St. Louis native is facing charges including felony possession of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Nelly, 40, was released from Putnam County Jail on a $10,000 bond. His next court date is June 19.

CELEBRITY CRIME: Suge Knight Rolls Into Court In A Wheelchair And Fires His Attorney In Armed Robbery Case

Suge Knight appears in a Los Angeles court to face robbery charges confined to a wheelchair.

So Suge Knight seems to be using this ailing health thing for all it’s worth.

At his last “hit and run” court appearance, (in which his defense claimed a blind spot in his left eye was the reason he ran over 2 men) he passed out after the judge set his bond at a cool $25 million.

Throughout his whole time in the bing, he has used his get out of jail card in order to take various trips to the hospital for medical care.

This week he “rolled” into court in a wheelchair for an alleged robbery case in which he supposedly committed with comedian Katt Williams back in 2014.

The wheelchair may have actually helped his case as he was given more time to find new legal counsel.

Stay tuned to The Pen Hustle for a new update every time Marion blesses the court.

He is due back in front of a judge on Monday for the hit and run case.

And the Suge Knight Saga continues….

Via Fox News:

A judge on Wednesday gave former rap music mogul Marion “Suge” Knight time to hire a new attorney in a robbery case filed after a celebrity photographer accused him and comedian Katt Williams of taking her camera last year.

In a separate case, Knight has been charged with murder in a deadly hit-and-run.

The Death Row Records co-founder appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom chained to a wheelchair. He complained to Judge Ronald Coen, saying he could walk. Knight fell at his previous court hearing and has been taken from courthouses four times for medical conditions since he was charged with murder in early February.

The judge promised Knight, 49, that he would not be brought into court in the wheelchair again as long as he was fit to walk.

Coen pressed Knight about whether he wanted a new attorney in the robbery case. His previous attorney, David Kenner, said in a filing he no longer wanted to represent Knight.

Knight said he wanted to fire Kenner and has until May 27 to hire a new attorney.

Knight is due back in court Monday for a preliminary hearing in a murder case filed after he allegedly struck two men with his truck outside a Compton burger stand, killing one of them.

Knight’s attorney Matt Fletcher said he expects the hearing, during which prosecutors will present some of the evidence in the case, will go forward.

Fletcher said the wheelchair used at Wednesday’s hearing seemed to be an effort to humiliate Knight, who told Coen he walked from his jail cell onto the bus and walked into the courthouse before being placed in the chair.

“As he said, it’s like ‘Silence of the Lambs,'” Fletcher said, referencing a scene in 1991 film in which Anthony Hopkins’ character is heavily restrained and strapped to a hand truck.

Hustle Music: ‘Blood’ by Dej Loaf

This week’s Hustle Music Feature comes from female Detroit rapper Dej Loaf.

I’ll admit I wasn’t the biggest fan at first and I may even cop to being one of the naysayers that thought she was another “one hit wonder”. “Try Me” was a little on the commercial side, in my humble opinion.

Fast forward to recently, a friend slid me a copy her mixtape and I changed my mind after a few songs. The girl is dope. There is a lot more to “lil Dej” then I suspected. I love her swagger.

Everybody knows I am an fierce supporter of females in any arena of business, art or anything a man can do.

Dej Loaf, if you ever read this I would like to publicly eat crow. I definitely respect the moves you are making.

It’s very refreshing to see a female in the music game keeping her clothes on, using her own talent and merits to make moves –not to mention she can ride with the fellas, my kinda girl.. Get em Dej!!!!

Dej’s birthday was April 8, she turned 24 years old.

Cheers to hearing more real music.

Check out her new video “Blood” with Young Thug and Birdman.

Below is an article posted on The Boom Box:

Dej Loaf has a crucial 2015 ahead of her. It’s the year where she’ll have to prove she’s more than a one-hit wonder after her hit “Try Me” was a staple on radio in 2014. But even if that follow-up doesn’t come this year, she’s still got her youth. The rapper turns 24 today.

Of course, the artist born Deja Trimble is going to have to perform ”Try Me” at her shows for the foreseeable future. She released a mixtape in 2012 titled Just Do It, but that single was the one that blew her up to the mainstream audience. The song’s charm is unmistakable: It features a riding angelic sound that only thinly clothes the violent fantasies (“Leave a bitch n—- head in pasta”) and unshakeable confidence (“Rock that all white, when I’m feelin’ godly”). The joint sounds a bit alien, but somehow relatable at the same time.

“Try Me” ended up peaking at No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of standout songs of 2014, which was a tepid year compared to the first quarter of that year, but it was still an accomplishment.

Dej adjusted to the newfound fame well enough; her mixtape Sell Sole was well received. Plus, she got a big look from fellow Detroit native Eminem when he featured her on the star-studded“Detroit vs. Everybody,”alongside Big Sean, Royce da 5’9″, Danny Brown and Trick-Trick. The rhymer made it.

Since then, Dej Loaf has landed on songs from Kid Ink, the Game and Young Thug. She should have new material in store for 2015, and her fans are waiting on it.
