Lil Wayne Rumored to Testify In Young Thug’s Ongoing YSL Rico Trial

Lil Wayne might be called to testify in Young Thug‘s ongoing YSL Rico trial in relation to his 2015 tour bus shooting. According to a report by AllHipHop, Fulton County prosecutors tried to play videos of Weezy speaking about Thug in the courtroom on Wednesday (May 1), but Judge Ural Glanville refused to allow it unless the Young Money rapper testified himself.

Lil Wayne

“It seems like you all are trying really hard not to call [Lil Wayne] and that’s your choice,” Glanville told D.A. Adriane Love.

“If you don’t call him, my ruling will stand on these particular exhibits that you are trying to introduce.”

The prosecution is looking to use the 2015 shooting against Young Thug, as he reportedly hired affiliate PeeWee Roscoe to carry it out. Roscoe was eventually sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 years of probation over the matter, but his conviction was overturned in 2018.

Lil Wayne

While Lil Wayne making it into the courtroom is not guaranteed, the driver of his tour bus at the time, Alvin Lewis, is set to take the stand on Monday (May 6). He previously sued Thug, Birdman, and Roscoe over the shooting in 2016.

While videos of Wayne discussing the matter may not make it into evidence, Judge Glanville previously ruled that Fulton County prosecutors would be able to use a long conversation Thug had with authorities in July 2015 amid the tour bus shooting’s investigation.

Thug’s attorneys attempted to have the results of that talk declared inadmissible for the RICO trial – which at the time had not yet started – arguing that the interview with law enforcement violated Thug’s right to counsel and statements he gave “were not voluntarily made.”

Lil Wayne

Glanville, however, disagreed as he ruled that Thug didn’t actually have a right to counsel in that situation, because even though he was in police custody, he hadn’t been charged in the case the authorities were asking him about.

Chrisean Rock Responds to Speculations Over Her Son’s Health

Chrisean Rock is addressing online comments about her son with Blueface having health problems, and she says he has no issues whatsoever. During an Instagram Live stream on Sunday (April 29), Chrisean responded to specific claims about her son Chrisean Jr. being blind or mentally challenged.

Chrisean Rock

“My child is blessed. He be talking, walking, playing football, everything,” she said. “Who is y’all to tell me what he’s diagnosed with and what he looks like and what he sounds like?

“Y’all don’t know nothing about God and don’t know nothing about nothing if you’re talking to me like that. So I rebuke everything y’all say about my child, to be honest. All the glory to God, bro.”

She continued: “Y’all gon’ be looking real stupid. He’s straight. He’s a billion-dollar baby, so stay tuned. No, he’s not blind. No, he’s not fucking retarded. He’s a fucking child.

“That’s all y’all wanna sit up and talk about. My baby’s blessed from his head to his toes. Y’all forget when he got dedicated on the seventh day? I’m not even addressing anything because I don’t give a fuck.”

Shortly after his birth in September, social media was convinced that Chrisean Jr. had fetal alcohol syndrome, especially with Blue himself claiming that his ex smoked and drank throughout her pregnancy.

One fan went so far as to break down exactly why it appears that the baby is suffering from the disorder.

“I hate to be that person, but it really looks like Chrisean’s baby has fetal alcohol syndrome,” a Twitter user wrote in a post last year with photos to back up her claims. “He has literally every physical characteristic, including the folds in the corner of his eyes, small eyes, drop nose, open mouth, extra large low set ears, etc.”

Chrisean Rock

With an additional video, she added: “Here is the sound of Blueface and Chrisean’s baby crying. People are saying it sounds like cri-du-chat syndrome, but high-pitched crying can also be caused by alcohol withdrawal in infants. My goal is only to raise awareness in hopes Chrisean will see it and get the baby tested.”

Chrisean Rock later responded on Instagram Live, denying the allegations.

“My baby is healthy. They would have told me if he had symptoms,” she said. “He’s healthy bro. Just ‘cause that picture wasn’t that cute doesn’t mean [inaudible] you can post my baby on the internet. That shit is wild. Now my baby’s father is bitter. He doing bitter shit now because I liked some shit about my ex being the baby’s father. But I’m only doing shit because that hurt. Fuck you.”

In Other News – Rick Ross Responds to Akademiks For Putting His Drake Diss Track Above Kendrick Lamar’s

Rick Ross had a few more jabs for Drake following Akademiks‘ ruling that the Bawse had a better diss against the OVO rapper than Kendrick Lamar. Following the release of K. Dot’s “Euphoria” on Tuesday (April 30), Ak shared his thoughts regarding the ongoing Hip Hop Battle Royale in a post shared to X (formerly Twitter).

Rick Ross

Rick Ross Responds to Akademiks For Putting His Drake Diss Track Above Kendrick Lamar’s

Rick Ross had a few more jabs for Drake following Akademiks‘ ruling that the Bawse had a better diss against the OVO rapper than Kendrick Lamar. Following the release of K. Dot’s “Euphoria” on Tuesday (April 30), Ak shared his thoughts regarding the ongoing Hip Hop Battle Royale in a post shared to X (formerly Twitter).

Rick Ross

“Unpopular Opinion… Rick Ross had a better Drake diss than Kendrick. at least that nigga came w some Jokes. BBL DRIZZY funny…” he wrote. “Kendrick just said the same shit.. 15 other niggas done said. shit wasn’t even that funny or clever.”

Retweeting the post, Ross echoed some of the jabs from his Drake diss track, “Champagne Moments.”

“He really had his body altered. Nose remixed. Abs edited. #BBLDRIZZY,” he said, referring to claims he previously made about the Canadian superstar getting cosmetic surgery.

Over a sample of Teddy Pendergrass’ “You’re My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration,” Kendrick Lamar kicks off “euphoria” by referring to a “pathetic master manipulator” who is “paranoid,” “spiraling” and “fabricating stories on the family front.”

From there, he throws jab after jab — and even a few haymakers — at Drake, using everything from his parenting skills, the alleged use of ghostwriters, and rumored plastic surgery to his appearance, tough guy persona, and attitude towards women as ammo.

The Pulitzer Prize winner also accuses Drizzy of sending a cease and desist letter in an attempt to have “Like That,” his chart-topping collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin that reignited their long-simmering feud, taken down.

Rick Ross

Meanwhile on Rick Ross’ “Champagne Moments,” the Miami native accused Drake of getting surgery on his nose to appear more “white.”

“You ain’t never want to be a n-gga anyway, n-gga. That’s why you had an operation to make your nose smaller than your father’s nose, n-gga,” he said in the outro of the song.

He also explains why the former collaborators fell out in the first place, adding: “I unfollowed you, n-gga, ’cause you sent the motherfucking cease-and-desist to French Montana, n-gga. You sent the police, n-gga, hating on my dog project.”

Ross has been using the release of “euphoria” to taunt Drake more, saying on his Instagram Story earlier this week: “Stop. Don’t respond, don’t respond. You ain’t even peep when the intro came on with the Teddy Pendergrass [sample] — that was that Black vibe. Don’t do it.”

Rick Ross

“Don’t go write an eight-minute verse that— I know n-gga [Lil] Yachty, you want to get that money. You ain’t wrong, n-gga, keep buying them big houses, but I’ma tell you this like a real n-gga: ain’t no more BBLs, ain’t no more ass fillers, ain’t no more cheek fillers,” he continued, referring to rumors about his adversary using Lil Yachty as a ghostwriter.

Author Melinda Ferguson has confirmed Moses Tembe’s contribution to her book When Love Kills: The Tragic Tale of AKA and Anele Tembe. This follows reports that the Durban businessman distanced himself from any involvement, including allegations he commissioned it.

The controversial book reflects on the toxic and allegedly abusive relationship between the rapper – real name Kiernan Forbes – and his fiancée, Anele. It also delves into both their untimely deaths.

AKA

The release of the book comes amid an inquest for the 22-year-old woman who fell off the tenth floor of the Pepperclub Hotel on 11 April 2021. It also coincides with charges of murder against seven men accused of murdering AKA in an “assassination” on 10 February 2023. Earlier this month, Moses Tembe – via a family spokesperson – denied commissioning or contributing to When Love Kills “in any way.”

In the book, the award-winning journalist and author speaks at length to the father of Anele Tembe, who reflected on the death of both his daughter and her partner, AKA.In a statement on her Facebook account, Melinda confirmed that she had interviewed Moses as part of her research.

She said: “Over the past fortnight, there has been much confusion around the participation of Moses Tembe, Anele Tembe’s father, in my book, When Love Kills.

“Moses sat down with me after I approached him to discuss the untimeous loss of his daughter and his deep grief. It is absolutely true, as his spokesperson stated, that he did not commission the book, or make any form of financial contribution, or compensate the project in any way. Moses voluntarily agreed to talk to me about the life of his beloved daughter, Anele
