As for the cause of death and other details, those are not publicly available at press time. FOX5 reportedly reached out to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Clark County Coroner’s Office for more information, with no word back as of writing this article.

Sanft was reportedly SOS Injury Lawyers’ lead trial attorney and tried over 150 cases to jury verdict before the Ninth Circuit of Appeals. He represented Davis pro bono during his Vegas trial, which resulted in Keefe D’s conviction and a 40-years-to-life prison sentence. He planned to appeal the conviction, and it’s currently unclear how this will affect those proceedings.

According to KSNV, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department referred questions around Sanft’s passing to the Clark County Coroner’s Office. The attorney reportedly grew up on the island of Tonga and moved to San Diego as a child. Later, he received his law degree from Brigham Young University and joined the Nevada state bar in 2002, where he remained until his passing.

Michael Sanft

In an interview with FOX5, Michael Sanft reportedly said he would not have done anything differently for his client Duane “Keefe D” Davis’ trial. “Maybe if I had a psychic sitting next to me to help discern who should be on the jury,” he reportedly expressed.

“We had the best team possible in this case, from the motion practice work on this appeal to our investigator to our firm here at SOS Injury,” Sanft reportedly shared. “We all did our part. I don’t see what I could’ve done differently… [Davis and I] were just sitting there taking in the moment. He had reminded me this is phase one. Because I was upset with the verdict, I was very disappointed in the jury. Mr. Davis was the one who said, don’t worry about it, man, this is the first phase, and I said, I understand, I hate to lose.”

Rest In Peace Michael Sanft.

Of course, these days, it’s hard to run into music discourse that doesn’t immediately hail something as the album of the year or dismiss it as absolute garbage. As for the more halfway takes on FRESH, some folks on Twitter brought up the beat selection, the lyricism, the lack of too many features, and other factors as characteristics that work with and against each other.

This new LP features Future, Young Thug, and Rylo Rodriguez (twice), and they’re all on one track, with Rylo guesting on another. That means the Atlanta MC mostly carried this solo, which some fans are very happy about. After all, it’s the most reliable way to fight back against online narratives about not having enough gas in the tank.

All that said, though, if you’re not already a Wham fan, this new full-length likely won’t convince you otherwise. Still, the relatively shorter tracklist in comparison to It’s Only Me or the WHAM extended cut means there’s less room for error.

Lil Baby’s FRESH

Lil Baby has other issues to worry about beyond fan reception, though. Some are speculating he may have beef with Moneybagg Yo thanks to some new lyrics on FRESH and some fresh social media interactions and statements. We’ll see if that actually manifests into anything or just stays in the rumor mill.

It’s one of Lil Baby’s various hip-hop dynamics that are under scrutiny these days. Nevertheless, none of those narratives seem to overshadow FRESH, whether for good or bad reasons depending on whether or not you like it.

Fans React

But across 17 new cuts, Baby showed he’s still sticking to his style, and he will most likely see some very solid commercial success. As for fan reception, we all need a few days to let the dust settle.

According to TMZ, the former NFL player pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a firearm or deadly weapon, a less serious charge in comparison to the attempted murder allegations. The judge in his case, Judge Marisa Tinkler Mendez, gave him three years of probation, which has other factors. Brown must reportedly undergo a psychiatric evaluation and must not possess any firearms.

However, he won’t have a criminal charge on his record thanks to this agreement. Also, the former pro wide receiver can reportedly request to end his probation after it’s halfway done, if he complies with the rules set out for him and exhibits good behavior. Reportedly, his lawyer Mark English said the plea deal was “an offer he just couldn’t refuse.”

On the other hand, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu reportedly told TMZ Sports back in September of last year that he and his legal team supported AB’s plea deal. “We want the best for Antonio,” he reportedly expressed. “We want him to get the healing that he needs and, hopefully, he can seek that in the free world.”

Antonio Brown’s Plea Deal

Previously, Antonio Brown had struggled to secure his plea deal. In October, Judge Mendez said she needed more time to review the agreement he and his team reached with prosecutors. Reportedly, that initial agreement had stipulated a no contest plea to aggravated assault with a firearm rather than a guilty one. It would’ve resulted in the same sentence.

As such, Brown avoided 20 years of potential minimum jail time. Amid Antonio Brown’s other antics, this at least puts this serious case behind him for good. Now, all that’s left to see is how his probation term goes. Brown has been on house arrest with an ankle monitor amid this legal process, and can now move on from the scandal.

For those unaware, the show reportedly began about three hours after the scheduled start time and boasted a shorter setlist. Overall, fans said the show was missing some trademark moments like Usher’s cherries and bringing women onstage, and the two reportedly didn’t perform their songs together. While fans immediately started to speculate, city ordinances stating the show must end at midnight are a more likely explanation for a shortened setlist.

Also, fans theorized the two R&B stars may have issues with one another. Breezy already seemed to deny this conspiracy by writing “Internet [cap emoji]. don’t fall for it” on his Instagram Story, as caught by @Nprezzed on Twitter.

Usher & Chris Brown Beef Rumors

But today (Friday, November 6), TMZ reported that, according to alleged sources close to the situation, the two superstars got into a verbal argument which caused the delay. Heavy traffic in Atlanta was reportedly making fans late. Brown allegedly wanted to begin the show anyway, while Usher allegedly wanted to wait. According to the report, they allegedly got into an argument that crystallized competitive tensions over “egos.” While the publication’s sources claimed the “R&B” tour isn’t in jeopardy, they said the artists allegedly haven’t resolved their issues yet.

The situation remains completely unclear, and fans will be looking for answers tonight. The duo is set to perform in Atlanta again, and they have three more shows after that one on the schedule.

We will see if they address any of this onstage or if fans will have to keep their questions for themselves for now. Chris Brown and Usher’s tour has wowed fans so far, so this situation has many feeling fearful. Maybe this is just like the alleged 2023 fight and things are actually fine.

This arrest was reportedly during a 2020 music video shoot for YB’s track “Dirty Stick,” which reportedly led to state and federal drug and gun charges. In the bodycam footage Akademiks shared on IG, police officers interrogate him and ask him questions about his name and whether or not he knew his rights.

YoungBoy Never Broke Again said he spoke with the officer who cuffed him, denying that he possessed guns or drugs on the scene. Officers also asked him about the car he drove in, they laughed about alleged drug possession, and eventually allowed him to leave the room.

It’s a brief clip which led many fans of the Baton Rouge lyricist to bring up earlier bodycam footage. Although NBA YoungBoy’s career is far from past legal trouble, footage like this continues to emerge and cause folks to reevaluate or revisit these clashes.

NBA YoungBoy Footage

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

NBA YoungBoy’s legal team has responded to these instances of resurfaced footage before. For example, back in August of this year, debate once again materialized over footage of him having a physical altercation with his then-partner Jania Meshell.

“It was a misdemeanor matter, resolved nearly 10 years ago,” YB’s lawyer Jimmy Manasseh told TMZ after the footage emerged. “I don’t think [it’s a big deal]. I believe she requested to drop charge. He was on probation in East Baton Rouge and he was not revoked because of it.”

While NBA YoungBoy still comes up in hip-hop cases here and there, he’s in a very different place of his career compared to previous turbulence. It makes instances like this 2020 interrogation hitting the Internet a bit odd to look back on. After all, folks have a tendency to focus on the past rather than prioritize the present.
