The rainbow-haired rapper loves to call people out for their alleged hypocrisy, and that is what he has been doing with Durk. On Monday, there was a narrative going around that Durk was snitching on OTF Vonni. People like Wack 100 have explained why this is not actually the case. However, 6ix9ine has decided to run with the narrative anyway.

Lawyer Moe Gangat is known for covering criminal trials involving rappers. When the Lil Durk snitching narrative started, he was quick to dispel it. Effectively, he told people to avoid listening to bad faith actors like 6ix9ine, who are pushing an agenda. Tekashi didn’t like that, and he took aim at Gangat on social media Tuesday.

“Stop listening to this ni**a right here,” 6ix9ine said. “This ni**a is not a lawyer. He gets everything wrong…I want you to know. This ni**a follows rappers around for free. He books his own hotel, transportation, flight. Nobody pays him to do this coverage. He does this for free, for fame, for clout.”

According to XXL, Gangat was quick to respond to 6ix9ine. Moreover, when you dig into his background, it becomes clear that he has a law degree from Georgetown and has been in the profession for over a decade.

“This page is not into the gossip and the rumors,” Gangat replied. “As you remember, we covered your case. And we covered how you had a lot of defenses, and there was very little evidence against you. And then we heard how you snitched and cooperated.”

6ix9ine has never been someone who cares about these finer details. All he cares about is coming out on top. There is nothing in the world that will change his mind.

The docuseries will see Hov break down his life and his bars from eight of his projects alongside Rick Rubin, who serves as the interviewer, executive producer, and director (marking his directorial documentary debut, per Billboard). The trailer sees JAŸ dive into his writing process and more with Rubin. 

The HBO Max series falls in line with much of what JAŸ-Z has been pushing this year: honoring a legacy that began 30 years ago with Reasonable Doubt. “Can’t Knock the Hustle” and “What More Can I Say” to “Meet the Parents’ and “The Story of O.J.” are among the songs that will be explored at length, along with other songs from Reasonable Doubt, Vol. 3… Life and Times of S. Carter, The Dynasty: Roc La Familia, The Blueprint, The Black Album, American Gangster, Watch the Throne and 4:44.

As Ross explains in a recent video, this surveillance footage is unlike anything the public has seen before. The footage lasts a lot longer, giving a fuller picture of the altercation involving Von, Quando Rondo, and Lul Timm.

Furthermore, Trap Lore Ross stated that the footage was in 4K and showcases various new angles of the incident. For instance, the commentator revealed that you can see Von blindside Quando Rondo with a punch. This subsequently leads to the ensuing altercation and ends with Von being shot.

King Von Discussed At Lil Durk Trial

Trap Lore Ross then dispelled some myths from Von’s passing. When Von died, there were theories that the cops had shot him instead. Ross states that the footage completely dispels this notion. Furthermore, there were rumblings that had Von survived, he would have been paralyzed. However, again, Ross says that this can’t be true, as Von was moving his legs while being taken to the hospital.

Von’s passing is at the forefront of Lil Durk’s trial. Durk is accused of ordering a hit on Quando Rondo in the aftermath of Von’s death. Quando Rondo eventually survived the alleged hit, although his cousin, Lul Pab, was killed instead.

OTF Vonni has pleaded guilty to orchestrating the hit, although he claims he did so on Lil Durk’s orders. Durk’s defense has refuted these claims in court.

Day 3 of Durk’s trial is set to continue on Wednesday.

There was an outpouring of tributes from just about everyone after the “Jolene” singer passed, and that was largely a reflection of the respect she commanded across the board. In a post shared to socials, Eminem revealed that Dolly Parton even reached out to him to congratulate him on his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, despite not being fully in tune with hip-hop. 

“I’m sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had an impact on me. She definitely didn’t have to take the time to do it.  Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words,” he wrote.

Dolly Parton’s Message To Eminem

The message that Dolly sent to him captured the respect and appreciation she had for Eminem. On top of praising his performance and admitting her blind spots when it comes to hip-hop, she said that she’s aware that he’s “the very best at” rapping.

“Aside from that, I hope what I have to say will not seem weird or strange to you but I have always felt some unexplained connection to you like I know you somehow. I had hoped to meet you at the show but you know how nuts those things are, personally I hate ‘em and I missed my chance but maybe someday we’ll meet. In the meantime, keep doing what you’re doing because you do it so well and no matter how complex your world may be just know you are very special and touch people in ways you don’t even know,” she wrote.

The woman showed up to the gate at the AMP house, and she even had her two-year-old daughter with her. All of this was captured in a security video, where the woman could be seen making the paternity allegations against Cenat.

Cenat made it crystal clear during his stream that he had never met the woman in his life. Furthermore, he accused the woman of rehearsing the entire confrontation with her daughter. When Cenat asked who the girl’s father was, she simply said “you,” which tipped him off to this possibility.

Cenat noted that the entire situation had him scared. So much so that he and his security had no intentions of opening up the gate to let the woman and her daughter through.

The streamer’s friend Davis came through, and when he saw the situation unfolding, he opted to hop the gate to avoid someone slipping through. Cenat praised Davis for his quick thinking as the situation unfolded.

This latest situation involving Kai Cenat comes weeks after his most recent season of Stream University. It marked his long-awaited return to streaming. Since that time, Cenat has been a lot more consistent and finds himself back on top of the Twitch charts.

According to journalist Michael Blackshire, who attended on Tuesday, Brian Steel managed to put a smile on Durk’s face, at least for a brief moment. 

“Lil Durk looked more gloomy yesterday. As soon as Brian Steel did his cross he started to smirk and shake his head and look directly at Steel. Today was his first cross,” Blackshire wrote on X.

Lil Durk Trial Continues

Brian Steel reportedly applied pressure on detectives during cross-examination this week. Although it’s unclear what exactly prompted a brief smile from Durk, Steel cut through the detective’s testimony at several points. As Taylor Parise reports, Steel had detectives admit that they didn’t record all conversations with cooperators. Apparently, OTF Jam had 30 interviews with cooperators, but only 3 were recorded. Keith Jones sat down with detectives on five occasions, though only one was on record. Then, OTF Vonnie, who Durk reportedly fired as his personal assistant in January 2023, sat down for 10 interviews. None of them were recorded.

What seemed to be the most effective way to doubt the testimony was when Steel asked if some of the cooperators might have had motivation to put innocent people away because they faced life in prison. That’s when the detective said that “it’s possible.”

It’s too early to indicate whether Durk will be able to beat the case but we will keep you posted on any further updates on the trial.

Wack is someone who always claims to have paperwork or some kind of inside scoop on what is really happening. Whenever snitching allegations are at the forefront of a story, you can count on Wack 100 to give his opinion.

However, as it pertains to Lil Durk, he is not buying what the internet is selling. In a short video on social media, he explained exactly why this entire situation is not snitching. Instead, Wack is confident that this is just the defense doing its due diligence.

Wack’s explanation is simple. OTF Vonni pleaded guilty and told authorities that he orchestrated everything. Vonni then went on to say that he did so under Durk’s orders. In court, Durk’s legal team simply stated that Vonni is lying and that Durk had nothing to do with the murder-for-hire plot. Some people seem to think this qualifies as snitching. However, as Wack lays out, this is simply what your defense is supposed to do.

Wack 100 Speaks

Durk is simply telling the court that he was not involved in something Vonni already admitted to. As Wack explains, you can’t snitch on someone who has already admitted to committing a crime.

Whenever these kinds of cases come about, there are those looking to latch onto any negative narrative they can. It just goes to show that people like Trap Lore Ross need to be more responsible with their platform. Otherwise, things can get out of hand pretty quickly.

Day 3 of Lil Durk’s trial will continue today in Los Angeles.

Subsequently, Julian started doing podcasts with his sister. Eventually, their father joined in, which led to concerns that this was all extremely exploitative. Then, over the weekend, he won a boxing match against Thiirty as part of Adin Ross’ most recent BrandRisk event.

Now, Julian Newman is going viral again, but for all of the wrong reasons. A woman named Janaya Berry posted a video of Newman allegedly hitting her during an argument. Berry is being described online as Newman’s alleged ex-girlfriend. On her TikTok, she reposted a video about two weeks ago about Newman dating her.

Throughout the video, Berry shows screenshots of alleged photos of her arm and leg, which are covered in bruises and other marks.

Julian Newman Seen Smacking Woman’s Arm

A separate video on her account shows Julian Newman on his hands and knees, begging and pleading with her after allegedly being caught cheating. This video has also started to go viral on social media, and remains pinned on Berry’s TikTok account.

At this time, some commenters on TikTok are asking whether or not this is some sort of sketch. With the Newmans engaging in desperate antics online, there appears to be this veneer of skepticism whenever they are involved in something.

That said, domestic violence is an incredibly serious topic. The video is quite troubling, whether it is a skit or not.

The YouTuber is already a controversial individual. Some hip-hop fans don’t appreciate the way he covers gang culture. His documentaries on King Von and NBA YoungBoy have proven to be controversial for the way they tackle sensitive subjects. With Trap Lore Ross covering the Lil Durk trial live in the courtroom, there has been increased scrutiny on his work.

That was especially true on Monday, when the YouTube commentator took to X and said “Durk is blaming everything on Vonni.” This subsequently led to all kinds of snitching narratives throughout social media. Trap Lore Ross was heavily criticized for the tweet, with some saying he doesn’t belong in the courtroom.

On Tuesday, Ross’ tweet had real-life consequences as he was pressed outside of the courthouse. Men were demanding that he recant his comments about Durk. Trap Lore Ross walked away from the individual, which had some feeling as though he couldn’t take the heat.

Eventually, Trap Lore Ross was spotted in another video alongside Rico Recklezz. In this clip, he makes it clear that he never called Durk a snitch. Instead, he was just repeating the legal strategy. However, he does acknowledge the fact that 6ix9ine made this something that it isn’t.

Lil Durk’s trial is one of the biggest stories in hip-hop right now, and fans are relying on those in the courtroom to give accurate information. When the reporters are becoming the story and not the individual on trial, that is a real problem.

Of course, Lil Durk’s trial is currently one of the most talked-about stories in hip-hop right now. It is currently running parallel to Keefe D’s Tupac murder trial. In both instances, the defendant is facing life in prison.

As it turns out, Machine Gun Kelly has no qualms about supporting Durk. With news of his arrival lighting up social media, the rapper turned pop punk star decided to speak out on X. It was here that he revealed how he and Durk have been friends for years. In fact, it was Durk who personally invited him to attend the trial.

Machine Gun Kelly Supports Durk

“This been my bro for a decade,” MGK wrote. “When he called and asked if id pull up and support
im there no question. free durk.”

The first two days of the trial have brought about some interesting storylines. As you can imagine, there is a group of commentators who are rushing to call Lil Durk a “snitch.” Meanwhile, OTF Jam and OTF Vonni have been revealed as witnesses for the prosecution.

In court, Durk was accused of attempting to flee the country while in Miami. Durk responded by saying he was working with DJ Khaled. Furthermore, it was alleged that Durk paid for hitmen’s flights with his own Amex card.

Durk’s legal team is using Vonni’s guilty plea testimony to assert that it was he who was the mastermind, and not Durk. This is the crux of the defense’s argument.

The trial is expected to continue for another two to four weeks.
