The Tate brothers were once arrested in Romania on Sex Trafficking charges, although they are still currently battling that case. Moreover, the Tates have faced charges in the UK in the past, but have been awaiting trial. Now, their case has become that much more serious, as the UK wants the brothers in their country.

Prior to their arrest, Andrew Tate put together a video message in which he said the Matrix was after him. Essentially, he knew the arrest was coming, and he was simply trying to get ahead of it. Nevertheless, he has maintained his social media presence throughout his detainment, and continues to claim he is being mistreated.

For instance, in a post on X, Tate made the claim that he is being held in solitary confinement. This begs the question: who is tweeting for him right now? Additionally, he claims his neighbor in SHU is a cannibal.

Andrew Tate Message From Jail

“I am being held in SHU, the highest level of security which exists. No commissary. No visits.
No contact with the outside world,” Tate claimed. “My neighbor is a cannibal who screams throughout the night.”

In the last few days, Tate’s most staunch critics have been celebrating his incarceration. His most fervent supporters continue to hold out some hope.

However, given the charges, things do not look good. If you continue to support him, you are putting yourself at risk of looking foolish pending a conviction. Of course, the charges remain alleged at this time.

During a recent appearance on Friends Keep Secrets show, Wayne opened up about his experience behind bars and why he was in protective custody. Most rappers have tried to make clear that they weren’t ever placed in PC, but Lil Wayne detailed how he didn’t really have a choice.

“I wasn’t around that. I wasn’t around people,” he said when one of the co-hosts asked if he was in PC. “I was in PC with all the crazy people.” When asked if he purposefully went into PC, he said, “No, they put you there. You ain’t even got to ask.”

Wayne added that it’s likely because he was already a massive celebrity to begin with. Then, they tried to compare what happened to Wayne to what happened to R. Kelly. “I don’t know because they got real time,” Wayne added. “I had a year.”

Songs like “Shabang,” “Janice STFU,” and “Burning Bridges” have been monstrous successes over the past couple of months. It is clear that these songs are going to have longevity, and it is further proof that Drake is an unstoppable force.

With the album proving to be a major success, it should come as no surprise that ICEMAN has been a success on streaming services. Every single week, it feels like a new record is being broken. Today, Drake hit a new milestone, this time on Apple Music.

According to Kurrco, ICEMAN has spent 46 days at number one on the charts. As far as hip-hop is concerned, this is a record. The previous record was 44 days, which was held by Certified Lover Boy and For All The Dogs.

Drake Continues To Break New Ground

Had it not been for DONDA, Drake probably could have earned more days with Certified Lover Boy. Meanwhile, For All The Dogs didn’t really have a sustained hit outside of “First Person Shooter.” It seems clear to us that ICEMAN still has lots of runway left to stay at number one.

Drake doesn’t appear to be done just yet. There are some rumblings that he could be looking to drop more new music before the year is over. Fans shouldn’t get too greedy, however. He has dropped over 40 songs this year, which is more than enough to tide you over for a while.

As the report indicates, the warrant was related to the 2021 stabbing death of West Coast rapper Drakeo The Ruler. YG has been linked to the incident in the past, although he has denied all involvement. At this time, it is unclear what authorities were hoping to find while executing the warrant. It is also unclear if they did, in fact, find anything.

CHP went on to make a statement to TMZ, confirming that this was not an arrest. Instead, YG was simply detained while the search was taking place. He was ultimately let go.

Cops Search Property Owned By YG

Tonight is a big night for YG. He is going to be taking part in the latest Verzuz battle. This time around, he is going up against The Game in what should be a massive West Coast showdown. There have been some big-time debates about who will win tonight, although for now, it feels like one big toss-up.

On one hand, you have The Game’s artistry, which puts him above YG, especially when you look at a complete body of work. However, as we all know, Verzuz is about the records. The records that elicit big reactions from the crowd. There is a very realistic scenario in which YG wins purely off of his club bangers.

As for this recent run-in with the law, it is still a developing story that we will keep you updated on.

However, after serving time for federal drug charges, the rapper is apparently back home. And it seems like the first thing he did was link up with boxer-turned-streamer Adrien Broner. During one of AB’s recent streams, he revealed that he was on a FaceTime call with Quando Rondo. 

“We out this b*tch, gang,” he said while holding up his phone with Quando Rondo on the other side. “He out, n***a. Yeah, n***a. W’s in the chat.”

Reports that Quando Rondo was released emerged in early June, though he has remained rather lowkey since then. However, he hasn’t left fans empty-handed. Just a few weeks later, he came through with his latest album, 16 Months. It serves as the follow-up to Until I Return, which dropped just a few weeks before his release.

Quando Rondo Released From Prison 

Now that he’s home, we could assume that he’ll probably be coming through with more music and probably make an appearance on a stream or two once he has the opportunity. After all, he was getting familiar with the gaming community online while he was on house arrest. Hopefully, we can see him bring his music and streaming talents together and remain out of trouble in the future. 

Quando Rondo was sentenced to 33 months in prison in 2024 for federal drug conspiracy charges.

 We’ll keep you posted on any further updates surrounding Quando Rondo. Sound off in the comments with your favorite Quando Rondo song.

However, this all turned out to be a sham. While Adam played into the situation on social media, Lena eventually told TMZ that the divorce filing wasn’t real. She accused a potential stalker of filing the papers. It was a bizarre situation, and it is only getting weirder.

According to TMZ, Adam22 was served with official divorce papers back on July 15. However, once again, these were not actually served by Lena The Plug. Instead, it is the same person who filed the initial divorce about a month ago.

Adam22 Served Divorce Papers

Adam22 has reportedly contacted the police, as well as the FBI. After all, this is a very disturbing situation. It is a case of mistaken or stolen identity. Unfortunately, for Adam and Lena, no one has contacted the couple to get this sorted out. As it stands, they are being forced to deal with this situation, which has very clearly gotten out of hand.

One has to wonder what the goal is here. After all, filing fake divorce papers is a crime that could lead to jail time. The person who is doing this has done a fine job of keeping themselves concealed this entire time.

This remains a developing situation, so stay tuned to HNHH for updates.

In the aftermath of all of this, Charleston White made it clear that he believes Mob Ties is behind the situation. He blamed J Prince Jr, as well as his father, for putting an alleged hit on him. From there, he claimed that he would be going to the FBI to provide information on their alleged misdeeds.

On Wednesday night, Charleston White had a conversation with DJ Akademiks, where he continued his crusade against the Prince family. It was here that he made sure to diss J Prince Jr, claiming that he has no interest in talking to someone with no power. Instead, he only wants to deal with J Prince.

Charleston White Talks To Akademiks

Charleston White went on to allege that J Prince attempted to buy his documentary from him for $500,000. However, there was one very important stipulation in the deal. White had to apologize to J Prince publicly for all of the things he had said about him over the years. Needless to say, White declined.

When White finds someone he dislikes, he continues to make that dislike known for years. It is a strategy that has worked for the likes of 50 Cent. At the end of the day, White is a troll. A social media character who elicits controversy to gain more viewers. This is simply part of that strategy.

Whether or not this strategy is sustainable for him over the long term, still very much remains to be seen.

The allegations concerning this case are incredibly disturbing. Rivas’ body was found in D4vd’s Tesla. It has been decomposing for quite some time, which made it difficult for coroners to conduct an autopsy. Since that time, the prosecution has been building its case, and this week, they have presented their alleged evidence.

On Wednesday, some extremely disturbing details were presented to the public. For instance, it was stated that D4vd allegedly placed 12 air fresheners in his vehicle. These were found after the discovery of Rivas’ body, according to ABC. It is said that this was done to mask the smell of the body.

D4vd Allegations Presented In Court

It is an act straight out of the movie Se7en. Overall, this is a highly disturbing allegation, and that’s not all. It was also alleged that D4vd used a chainsaw on Rivas’ body following the murder. Rivas’ parents were reportedly upset upon finding out this information. They were in shock when photos of her body were shown to the court.

This remains the most high-profile case in the music industry right now. It has sparked major public interest, even from those who are unaware of who D4vd is or was.

Ultimately, a young girl has died, and that is truly tragic. Soon, the judge will be offering a recommendation on whether or not this goes to trial. Until then, stay tuned to HNHH for updates.
