Lil Scrappy arrested
Atlanta rapper Lil Scrappy was stabbed in an altercation on Friday night and was then arrested and detained by officials in Dekalb County Georgia.
The performer went to aid his sister who had got into a fight with her boyfriend and was arrested once police got involved for two felony charges stemming from the possession of a fire arm and marijuana.
Scrappy was released on Sunday morning from jail where he was held after authorities held him realizing that his injuries weren’t serious. Lil Scrappy was one of the first artists signed to fellow ATLien Lil Jon’s label BME.
DMX in trouble again
Earl Simmons more commonly known as DMX was arrested in a Phoenix shopping Mall on Saturday, charged with identity theft.
The charges brought against the platinum selling rapper stem from him using another name and alternative social security number when receiving medical treatment in April of this year. The rapper who has struggled with police in various states in the last couple of years is once again behind bars.
He was arrested in Miami last month for trying to purchase cocaine from an undercover police officer and is still awaiting a date to stand trial on various charges of cruelty to animals.
Dr Dre’s daughter tells all
Having seen various scorned women in Hip-Hop tell their stories about loves lost, Dr. Dre’s daughter is apparently no different, although she has put her story to pictures as opposed to a book.
The super producers daughter Manaj is releasing a tell all documentary uncovering the aspiring rappers battle with her father to make it in the music industry.
Apparently Dr Dre hasn’t helped his daughter in her quest to make it in the music industry and this is what has allegedly provoked the documentary. Dr. Dre has yet to comment on the documentary.
DMC hospitalized
Legendary rapper DMC of Run DMC was rushed to hospital last week for emergency surgery.
The rapper was suffering from swelling in his left arm which resulted in doctors removing two blood clots.
DMC is recovering well from the surgery in Wayne, New Jersey and will now have to undergo some serious tests to determine the cause of the clots, something he has never suffered from before.
DMC has recently been the focal point of an organization known as Hip-Hop for Hounds which worked with the Humane Society of the US in their fight to combat illegal dog fighting in the country.
