Soulja Boy Fingered In Hit & Run…..Thanks To Big Brother

When being flashy gets you caught…..have we not learned from Frank Lucas? From TMZ:

Our story begins on January 9, when a motorcyclist T-boned a red Bentley in Hollywood … leaving the biker seriously injured … but the driver of the Bentley — who caused the crash by making a reckless turn — fled the scene.

We’re told a witness — the victim’s friend — was so pissed off, he went back to the scene of the crime a few days later and nosed around, asking people if they knew who was driving the red Bentley. He struck gold at Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles … when a valet told the guy he knew the car well … it belonged to Soulja Boy, who frequented the area.

The witness went to police with the info … and that’s when things got Orwellian.

Turns out, the cops have access to a super-database of photographs taken by thousands of hidden cameras stationed on police cars, buildings and private vehicles all over L.A.. There are private companies that make money off the City by getting citizens and businesses to mount cameras for the database.

One law enforcement source tells us the cameras are constantly taking photos of cars all over the city — and the average car is shot AT LEAST 1,000 TIMES PER DAY!!!

So … the cops got the license plate number of Soulja Boy’s Bentley, ran it through the database and BINGO … a bunch of photos popped up showing the Bentley with damage that corresponded to the accident.

Soulja’s Bentley is currently damage-free. Law enforcement sources tell us the operating theory is that the rapper had the car repaired on the sly to cover up incriminating evidence.

So cops got a search warrant and a judge agreed there was probable cause to believe the Bentley was involved in the accident, so cops went and impounded the car.

Is Snoop doing his research before he enters into these different cultures? From Urban Islandz:

The West Coast rap legend, turn reggae star, has managed to angered the Zulu Royal family during a performance in Durban last weekend.

Snoop Lion performed at MTV Africa All Stars KZN show at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday.

He wore a traditional leopard-skin print (isikhumba sengwe).

According to the Daily Sun, the royal suits should only be worn by King Goodwill Zwelithini or by someone who has been honoured by the royal house.

MTV spokeswoman Alison Reid has since apologize for the incident.

“MTV Base apologises if anyone was offended by Snoop wearing traditional Zulu garb on Saturday night,” Reid said. “The outfit in question was a gift from a member of the Zulu royal family and a number of members of the royal family joined Snoop on stage. We believe that his homage to Zulu culture was received positively by all concerned, including the royal family.”
