C Murder Released
Bail was set at $1 million for Corey Miller more commonly known as C Murder and yesterday the rapper and brother of Percy Miller AKA Master P walked free. The rapper who was jailed last month for breaking the conditions of his house arrest is charged with the murder of a 16 year old outside a club back in 2002. C Murder has already stood trial for the offense but it was deemed a mistrial due to evidence being withheld by the prosecution.
Jim Jones in Court
Stemming from an incident on Christmas Eve last year, Jim Jones was in court yesterday to reject a plea deal. The Diplomat rapper got into a scuffle in the Fifth Avenue Louis Vuitton Flagship store in Manhattan in December with Javon Smith who was accompanying R&B singer Ne-Yo. Lawyer for the rapper, Scott Leemon said the case was ‘a set up for a civil lawsuit,’ as his client refused to take the ten day community service deal offered by the courts.
Jim Jones returned to the stage last night for a limited time to perform his Hip-Hop Monologues: Inside the Mind and Life of Jim Jones.
