Kodak Black Arrested in Florida After Allegedly Fleeing Police & Violating Parole, Held Without Bond

Kodak-Black-Arrested-Mugshot

Kodak Black is back in jail. The up and coming rapper was arrested during a court hearing after a judge found he violated his parole. He was booked at the Broward County jail in Florida and held without bond.

According to the Broward County Sheriff’s office, the 19-year-old was arrested Tuesday (Feb. 28) on “violation of community control,” more commonly known as a parole violation. Online arrest details show Kodak allegedly violated his parole by possession of a firearm, and fleeing or eluding a police officer. The arrest is also classified as a felony.

TMZ also reports the judge may have locked the rapper up for failing to complete an anger management program and leaving his Florida home without permission at least twice, including going to a strip club.

The arrest warrant confirms these charges, claiming Kodak allegedly violated parole by:

“failing to remain confined to his approved residence except for one half hour before and after approved employment, public service work, or any other special activities approved by the officer […] on various times and dates, as evidenced from the pictures on video showing the offender at various places that were not approved.”

Kodak currently has 5 years of probation and 1 year of house arrest.

Last September, he spent 120 days in a Florida jail on drug charges. After his release, he was then extradited to South Carolina for sexual assault charges. He was released Dec. 1 after posting $100,000 bond. Kodak’s arrest history also includes strong armed robbery, false imprisonment, and possession of a firearm.

Kodak recently released his latest single, “Tunnel Vision,” which debuted at No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week. He was also scheduled to perform in New York City for the first time tomorrow (March 1). Since no bond has been set for his latest arrest, Kodak might be a no-show.

“Gary from Chicago” Released from 20-Year Prison Stint 3 Days Before Rubbing Elbows With Celebs at the Oscars

Gary-From-Chicago-Prison

You knew it was coming. It was just Sunday (Feb. 26) that “Gary from Chicago” warmed America’s (and the world’s) heart as he casually rubbed elbows with Hollywood’s biggest stars during the Oscars. But it was only a matter of time before his backstory became public.

As it turns out, Gary Alan Cole has spent the last 20 years in prison, only being released three days before being “married” by Denzel Washington, kissing Halle Berry’s hand, and holding Mahershala Ali’s shiny new Academy Award.

My first thought upon learning this news was “of course ‘they’ can’t let a black man just enjoy his once-in-a-lifetime moment.” However, it was actually Gary, himself, who revealed his prison stint. He briefly mentioned his incarceration during an interview with Chicago’s ABC 7.

“Change is possible. It’s a sad day to be in prison for 20 years and not be able to be a dad, a granddad to your children. You know what my son told me today, man? I almost come to tears. He said he’s proud of me. So to hear your children say that they’re proud of me means the world to me.”

Further investigation shows Gary was convicted of petty theft in 1997 and sentenced 25 years to life under California’s three strikes law. The Three Strikes Reform Act recently commuted Gary’s sentence to 6 years, having already served 20 years.

According to a Facebook post by Karen Nash (Gary’s public defender), Gary “got a life sentence for stealing perfume in 1997.”


Gary also has several other convictions including petty theft, robbery, and a 1978 attempted rape conviction.

“Gary from Chicago” become a viral sensation when he and fiancĂ© Vickie Vines, and several other LA tourists were unknowingly brought to the Dolby Theatre during the 89th Academy Awards telecast.

Like a real tourist, he captured the moment with his phone as he met A-list celebs like Denzel & Halle, Ryan Gosling, Nicole Kidman, and Meryl Streep. Vickie even stated Denzel Washington was her favorite actor.

The internet couldn’t get enough of “Gary from Chicago,” which began trending on Twitter. The viral star has since been offered free pizza from Chicago’s Gino’s East and an offer to attend a game by the Chicago Bulls.

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Season 6 Super Trailer Highlights Joseline’s Pregnancy, Kirk and Rasheeda’s Infidelity

joseline-pregnant

The troubled and twisted cast of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta is ready and willing to give us the ratchet, ghetto, trash mess that we need to make it through the Trump administration with its sixth season.

When we last left off, Joseline told Stevie J that she was pregnant with his baby. In the sixth season megatrailer, we see Stevie struggle with believing whether Joseline’s baby is really his or not. Unfortunately, this doesn’t really work as a suspenseful plot since anyone who follows them on social media already knows that the baby is indeed Stevie’s.

But still, we get to witness Joseline fight, scream and fuss at Stevie as she goes through one of the most simultaneously miserable and glamorous looking pregnancies ever.

joseline-stud

In a strange twist of events, some butch lesbian stud gets caught in the crossfire between Mimi and Joseline. It appears that the stud is licking the milk from both Mimi and Joseline’s saucepan? Gross.

The other big dramatic narrative is between Kirk Frost and Rasheeda as Kirk seems dead set on laying claim to the title of worst reality TV husband ever. Two seasons ago, he embarrassed Rasheeda by sparking whispers of infidelity by housing one of his young artists in his corporate apartment without Rasheeda’s knowledge. And this season, Kirk has apparently knocked up a side chick with his baby.

kirk-frost-lhhatl-season6

How many L’s does Rasheeda wanna take on this show? Won’t she do herself a favor and peace out so she can hold on to at least one single shred of her dignity?

A lot of other familiar faces return as well: Karlie Redd, and Yung Joc’s perm are back; Waka Flocka and Tammy Rivera are still picking up the pieces of their marriage; and Tommie is still drunk as a skunk and fighting with everybody and their cousin.

But best of all? Momma Dee is back and she’s rocking a glittery bodysuit.

momma-dee-bodysuit

Get it, get it, get it, get it. What?! Get it, get it, get it, get it. Whoa!

Oh, there are also some new chicks joining the cast. Some Asian chick named “Lovely Mimi” and some other heffa who starts fussing with Tommie that I don’t know. I’m sure they won’t last beyond this season anyway.

Watch the true chaos of LHHATL’s Season 6 for yourself:

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Season 6 premieres next Monday (Mar. 6)!

Halle Berry Claims Her Oscars Hair Was Natural, But the Internet Says It Was a Messy Wig

halle-berry-oscars-wig

Look, for many people in their 30s, Halle Berry will always be one of those standards of beauty. Her status as a beauty icon is cemented. And not even a bad hair day can take that away from her.

Halle had a very bad hair day at the 2017 Oscars. She showed up with a very noisy, messy and busy cornucopia of curls sitting wildly on top of her head. While the choice was a bit of a curveball, even more eyebrow-raising were the claims she made after the Oscars that her hair was “natural” and that she was merely honoring her natural beauty with the big, curly look.

In Halle’s own words to Vogue, she said:

“I have always marched to the beat to my own drum, and I think this red-carpet look encapsulates that. The dress is glamorous with a sense of romance that made me feel feminine and fresh. With this look, I celebrate my natural hair by allowing it to be wild and free.”

Hold up. Waaaaaaaiiiiiitt. Now I know that Halle Berry is a mixed race woman, but caucasian blood or not, there is no way that bird’s nest is “natural.” The shape and volume of those curls look about as natural as the nose on Lil’ Kim’s face.

And I wasn’t the only who called B.S. on Halle’s natural curls claim.

Other folks just had a ball taking Halle’s wig game down a few pegs. Some of my fave internet clapbacks were these:

And then there was this YouTube song dedicated to letting Halle know that the wig’s not fine:

Halle, if you wore a bad wig then own it. But you ain’t gots to lie on your wig, baby.

Trey Songz Addresses Rumored Sex Tape Days After Being Caught in the Middle of Nicki Minaj & Remy Ma Beef

Trey-Songz-Sex-Tape-Rumor

Trey Songz has been having a very interesting few weeks. First, Keke Palmer put him on blast, then he was brought into the middle of the Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj beef, and now the singer’s own piece of meat may have hit the net (if you know what I mean).

A 13-second graphic video surfaced online and the rumor is swirling that it features Trey Songz. The “sex tape” features a man and a woman having anal sex. The man’s arm tattoo and voice has people believing it’s the “Bottoms Up” singer.

Entertainment site Fameolous first leaked the video and Songz has even addressed the rumors on his Twitter account.

Notice he doesn’t exactly deny the video. The singer even uses it to promote his upcoming album, Tremaine. He also acknowledges and take advantage of the free publicity from the Remy/Nicki/Keke situations.

In January, Palmer accused Songz of “sexually intimidating” her to appear in his music video for the “Pick Up the Phone” remix, which was being filmed during a house party the singer threw. He dismissed her allegations and basically said on The Breakfast Club that the actress wasn’t important enough to “sneak” her into one of his videos.

Most recently, Songz was name-dropped in Remy Ma’s epic Nicki Minaj diss track, “ShETHER.” Remy claimed Nicki has had sex with the Songz. He eventually denied the accusation in an Instagram story video and stated he had respect for both rappers.

“No matter what you heard, I ain’t never had sex with Nicki… Ain’t nothin’ ever went down with me and Nicki, so ya’ll can kill the sh*t right now.

Though she still hasn’t responded to Remy’s diss, Nicki felt some type of way of Songz’s delayed denial of the claim. She deleted the tweet and her silence in regards to Remy herself is deafening.

Trey-Songz-Nicki-Minaj-Tweets

But back to the alleged sex tape. There is no proof the man in the video is or isn’t Songz, but this didn’t stop people on Twitter from sharing their thoughts – the good and the bad.
