Jim Jones Cleared In Airport Brawl
A video surfaced recently, showing rapper Jim Jones involved in an altercation at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Jones claimed the incident began when retrieving his belongings from the overhead compartment mid-landing. He alleged being confronted by a passenger named James Dos Santos, escalating when another passenger, Alexander Lekht, joined in. Despite the altercation escalating, Jones opted not to report it to authorities initially. However, when Lekht made aggressive moves towards him, Jones detained him until authorities arrived, as captured in a viral video. Despite the incident, Jones stated on social media that it didn’t disrupt his time in Miami. Police have corroborated Jones’ account, and no charges were filed.
Drake Drop & Home Shooting
Law enforcement is investigating a shooting outside Drake’s Toronto mansion amidst rising tension with Kendrick Lamar. Though the feud is noted, there’s no evidence linking Lamar to the incident. Drake’s security guard was severely injured in a drive-by shooting, with the incident occurring amidst diss track exchanges between Drake and Lamar. Police are combing through evidence, including footage, though no descriptions of the vehicle involved have been provided. The incident marks a troubling turn in the publicized rift between the once-close friends turned musical rivals, sparking concerns within the hip-hop community.
Future VS Gunna
Future and Gunna’s once-close collaboration seems strained, partly due to Young Thug’s incarceration. Speculation arose about Gunna cooperating with authorities after his release from custody, leading to distancing within the hip-hop community. Gunna’s upcoming album, “One Of Wun,” and Future’s mixtape announcement fuel a potential chart battle, evident in their Twitter exchanges. Fans are divided as they anticipate the competitive release. Amidst a year filled with rap beefs, the competition between Future and Gunna intensifies, leaving fans to wonder who will dominate.
