NBA YoungBoy Charged With Attempted Murder

From AllHipHop:

Baton Rouge rapper NBA YoungBoy’s budding career has been derailed, thanks to recent attempted murder charges.

The 17-year-old rapper, who has recently released tracks with artists like Boosie Badazz, Kevin Gates and 21 Savage, has been charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder.

NBA YoungBoy, born Kentrell Gaulden, was arrested last month at a show in Austin, Texas. On December 7, he was booked into the East Baton Rouge Juvenile Court, is currently being held on $200,000 bond.

This is not his first brush with the law.

The rapper also did a six-month stint in a juvenile detention center in Tallulah, Louisiana, where he wrote songs for his 2015 debut mixtape, “Life Before Fame.”

Even though NBA YoungBoy is under the age of 18, he can still be tried as an adult under Louisiana law.

Pusha T (Finally) Responds To Drake’s Latest Diss

pusha-t-complex

Pusha T is in the latest issue of Complex, which sees him (mainly) speaking against mass incarceration and social justice for minorities in the face of President-Elect Trump (still hard to say that). He also spoke on that Drake diss:

When I tell Pusha I need to ask him about “last night,” there’s no need to elaborate. He drops his head, takes a peek at his fresh-out-of-the-box, white-on-white Raf Simons Adidas, chuckles, and replies, “You need that energy, man.” He laughs again. He’s not reacting—he looks like he’s plotting.

“I heard something,” he says, simultaneously playful and dismissive, when I ask him again about “Two Birds, One Stone” and the Internet chatter that Drake’s lines were directed at Pusha, questioning the street bona fides of his past. “I would never, ever attribute that [song] to myself. My past is cemented. My past happened. Like slavery happened. The Holocaust happened. You can’t ever question anything that has actually happened.”

“Listen,” he says. “I’m not speaking to him at all. I’m telling you, the real of it is: It ain’t real if it’s about me.”
