Kodak Black has a laundry list of legal issues that he has to tend to at this point. The rapper was arrested over the weekend for allegedly falsifying paperwork to obtain a firearm. Although information about his arrest was initially scarce, his arrest was confirmed after a photo of him shackled up surfaced online. According to Bossip, he’s taking aim at the police and the media for using his image to brag about arresting a high profile artist.

The rapper filed documents in court accusing the media and law enforcement of violating his constitutional rights after a photo of him leaked online at the Miami-Dade police station. Kodak claimed that there was not a single reason for a photo of himself to surface online except for the police to make a “big spectacle” and gain bragging rights.

According to Kodak, the release of his photo was “for the purpose of creating a news spectacle in showcasing a Grammy-nominated artist shackled and in custody for all to see.” He added, “Quite simply, there was no law enforcement or security rationale, and this was nothing more than a personal frolic for law enforcement to posture.”

At this point, a judge hasn’t ruled on the motion. Kodak Black wants the police and the media to be banned from distributing any photos of him without law enforcement or security purpose.

It's no secret that Maverick Carter is LeBron James', right-hand man. The two have been best friends for a while now and have started various business ventures together. One of those ventures is their media company Uninterrupted which is home to the successful HBO show, The Shop. Carter recently got the opportunity of a lifetime when he was given the stage to provide the commencement speech at USC. While many praised Carter for the honor, comedian Michael Rapaport decided to be a hater, tweeting "Ok GRADUATES, this year’s USC Commencement Speaker... LeBron James best friend. GTFOH"

As you’ll recall, Laura Ingraham mocked Nipsey Hussle in the moments after his death, after incorrectly sourcing YG‘s part on “FDT” in a defense tirade of Donald Trump’s “spotless record in office.” This is the same Fox News pundit who insisted that LeBron James “shut up and dribble” because she didn’t agree with the way he’d gone about politicizing his free speech.

As a result of the remarks she made against Nipsey Hussle, a whole slew of public figures once again called for her head. Justin Bieber called for her termination, as did The Game by speaking on behalf of the greater “we” representing his LA constituents/hip-hoppers. Tory Lanez‘ response on the matter elicited pejorative language. To put it bluntly, no one on this side of the ledger stands for any of Ingraham’s unlearned talking points.

Although DJ Quik is one hundred percent in agreement with the other outspoken members of the hip-hop community, he thinks Laure Ingraham should hold onto her job for one particular reason. In speaking with TMZ in his backyard of Los Angeles, DJ Quik told the field reporter that Ingraham ought to “eat crow” for a couple of weeks instead of losing her job with immediate effect. The reason being: the mass media has the memory of a fish, so it might be best to let her stew in the consequences a little longer until they become etched into our collective consciousness. Makes sense don’t it?

Quik alluded to another major networking whose actions were quickly swept under the rug after being fired over controversial blackface remarks. “Don’t fire her like they did ole girl from NBC,” Quik said in reference to Megyn Kelly, who famously came away with a $30 million settlement package after Fox News forced her exit without taking the proper legal steps.

Kevin Hunter’s life has come crumbling down after his wife Wendy Williams  served him with divorce papers, fired him as executive producer on her talk show and kicked him out of their shared Livingston, New Jersey home. Of course, the crumbling was self-inflicted since Kevin had a baby with his mistress of 10 years and then bought her a push present in the form of a new Ferrari purchased using Wendy’s money. 

The Blast now reports that Kevin has called the police asking for backup since paparazzi are swarming his house in an aggressive manner. The publication says Kevin is claiming harassment by the media as they try and cover the ongoing divorce between him and Wendy.

“I am not proud of my recent actions and take full accountability and apologize to my wife, my family and her amazing fans. I am going through a time of self-reflection and am trying to right some wrongs,” Kevin previously stated.

“No matter what the outcome is or what the future holds, we are still The Hunter Family and I will continue to work with and fully support my wife in this business and through any and all obstacles she may face living her new life of sobriety, while I also work on mine. I ask that you please give me and my family privacy as we heal. Thank you.”

Ty Dolla $ign and Lauren Jauregui have been keeping a low profile lately but new reports have brought them back in the spotlight since the couple has seemingly split.

Citing five shootings that occurred during a Boosie show, the report emphasized the upcoming concert's added police presence, with a tone suggesting the worst was yet to come.

Naturally, the report left Boosie feeling rather incensed, and the rapper penned a lengthy message at the station over their coverage. "SMH YALL DOING THE MOST ‼️THIS IS DISRESPECTFUL N FUCKS WITH MY MONEY SO YOU FUCKING WITH MY FAMILY! fuck y’all I WASNT AT NOT ONE OF THOSE VENUES WHEN ANYTHING WENT DOWN” REPORTERS," he writes, at the onset of the rant. "I BEEN DOING POSITIVE SHIT SINCE I CAME HOME REPORT THAT ‼️GUESS ILL ALWAYS BE THE BAD GUY ‼️THEY CANT STOP ME THO THIS GOD PLAN. YOU FIND 5 SHOWS OUT OF 300 SHOWS FOR YOUR STORY SMH." 

After calling out the Arkansas based news outlet over their selective bias, he proceeds to single out the KARK/Fox News reporter McCoy, clapping back like only a rapper can. "His fat white ass had to say I was found not guilty of first degree murder at the end SAD," writes Boosie, in his closing statement. Where do you stand - did the station do Boosie dirty? Painted as a villain when in reality, all he really wants to do is win the lottery, marry Rihanna, and kick back on the private jet.

The group of publications believes this is a reach and breaks journalists principles. The NPPA is urging all media to refuse any signing of the agreement. Ariana and her team have yet to respond or alter the contract as we write this.
