  • Jeezy’s Former Manager Files Countersuit Alleging Non-Payment

    Jeezy’s Former Manager Files Countersuit Alleging Non-Payment

    The Snowman is headed to court. In February, Jeezy sued his former manager Solomon Fornie accusing him and business associate Eddie Bridgeman of financial mismanagement and obstructing access to critical financial records, according to AllHipHop.com. 

    However, this week, Fornie filed a countersuit against the legendary rapper where he alleges that he bailed Jeezy out of a desperate financial situation, according to AllHipHop.com which reviewed court documents obtained by The Jasmine Brand. 

    “I put my finances, my credit, and my reputation on the line to rebuild Jenkins’ career from the ground up,” Fornie stated in the filing. “He went from foreclosure to Forbes, and now he wants to pretend I was never there.”

    The report states that Fornie alleges he paid off Jeezy’s homes, covered payroll for his businesses, and even borrowed $400,000 to keep operations running—money he says has never been repaid. He also alleged that he worked without a salary for years. 

    Meanwhile, Jeezy is alleging that Fornie and Bridgeman made unauthorized deals and used his money for personal gain.

    Jeezy and Fornie worked closely together for years. The two formed a company together in 2015 called Agency 99. They later added Bridgeman who was supposed to handle financial matters. However, in his lawsuit, Jeezy alleges that the financial planner is not a certified accountant. 

    According to AllHipHop, Fornie claims that he was instrumental in negotiating major deals for the rapper, including for his New York Times bestselling book, Adversity for Sale, as well as partnerships with Avion Tequila and Naud Cognac, a FOX Soul talk show, and a $15 million publishing agreement with HarbourView.

    Jeezy is seeking damages and full access to the financial records tied to Agency 99.

    The incident occurred in Gulfport, Mississippi, where Renaldo Delavallade lost his life to gunshot wounds. The police were alerted about a shooting at midnight, but unfortunately, they were unable to reach the scene in time to save the victim.

    A family member of Delavallade, named Tishia took to TikTok to share multiple videos that claim Ugly God, whose real name is Royce Cornell Davison-Rodriguez, is responsible for the shooting. Tishia has also shared a case report indicating that the 26-year-old rapper is a suspect in the murder, allegedly using a small caliber handgun. Furthermore, she alleges that he will not face prosecution due to his connections, despite openly boasting about his involvement in the crime.

    “Hi, my name is Renaldo BUGGIE Delavallade,”

    she captioned the first of two tribute videos.

    “I was 50 years old when I was murdered by my sons best friend 06-29-2023..At the home I live at with his mother and my wife, and two of our sons. There was an argument the night before that included his mom, Rhonda Reese and Safina Dedeaux my wife. Whom stood by and was present at the whole shooting,”

I knew, I was in danger going there, so I did not get out of the car at all. I felt the danger and tried to avoid it,”

    the video went on to say. 

    “This was surely in Royce Davisons, UGLY GOD, Feo Rodriguez’s on Facebook. [He] changes his name [daily]. But that was his plan from the beginning. He claimed self defense so that his Uncle Damon Reese, that is currently a judge and currently running now, would make sure he is free.”

    “But what he didnt know is that regardless what was portrayed or what he thought… My 3 sisters and brother would never let this go under the Radar as they planned !!!! HE REALLY THOUGHT I WAS A NOBODY!!!! I am Renaldo DeLavallade.”

  • Father and Stepmother Arrested After Police Find Six Children ‘Starved Beaten and Locked In Cages’

    Father and Stepmother Arrested After Police Find Six Children ‘Starved Beaten and Locked In Cages’

    Las Vegas Metro Police arrested father, Travis Doss, and stepmother, Amanda Stamper after finding young children locked in cages at their residence, reports the NY Post. The children were allegedly battered and starved, police say. 

    Upon entering the one-bedroom apartment cops found six children, ages 2-11, alone with two dogs. The 11-year-old boy along with his 9-year-old brother were both locked up in separate cages. The 11-year-old had

    “two black eyes that were swollen shut, multiple marks and bruises all over his body, and he was emaciated,”

    according to police. 

    The boy told police he had to share the little food he was given amongst his siblings.

    “He kept saying that he was always hungry and that’s why he stole, and then he said, ‘It’s food that’s in the trash, so how is that even stealing?’”

    the detective said, according to a grand-jury transcript.

    “And he kept saying that he needed big food because he was a big boy now and that he would have to share one large fry from McDonald’s with like all six kids and just that he was never really fed and that’s why he stole,”

    the cop recounted.

    Doss, who is the father to seven children, was indicted by a grand jury earlier this month on 40 charges including child abuse, according to court documents obtained by The Post. Amanda Stamper is reportedly the biological mother of the 2-year-old child and stepmother to the others. She was also indicted and faces seven counts of child abuse, reports note. 

    Stamper’s public defender said she was also a victim of Doss’s abuse and feared for her life.

    “If she had done anything, she would’ve been subjected to serious, serious abuse,”

    they told the local outlet in June.

    Doss was also a rapper who went by the name

    “Trap Montana,”

    according to his Instagram posts. Police obtained images of him rapping inside luxury cars, mansions, and casinos on the famed Las Vegas Strip.

  • Rick Ross’ Neighbor Calls Police After Rapper’s Pet Buffaloes Wander Onto Her Property

    Rick Ross’ Neighbor Calls Police After Rapper’s Pet Buffaloes Wander Onto Her Property

    Last year, Rick Ross was gifted a pair of buffalo by the clothing company Ethika when he expanded his ranch, The Promise Land. Despite the extravagant estate consisting of 235 acres of land in Fayetteville, Georgia, one of the esteemed rapper’s neighbors notified police after his enormous pets wandered onto her property.

    According to TMZ, the mother returned home from work to discover the 2,000 lb animals grazing on the grass in her yard, near her driveway. Concerned for the safety of her small children, the woman attempted to confront Ross about the buffalo on her property, but she was stopped by members of his team. After being turned away, she called police, who told her it was a civil dispute and refused to take a report. She says her next step is to filing a neighbor dispute with the city.

    On Sunday afternoon, after seeing many headlines mentioning his escaped animals, Ross released a statement on his Instagram, claiming that his buffalo were harmless. “They are just grazers, they are not meat eaters,” Ross said in one story. He says that the animals were able to leave the property due to work he was having done on the property, and explained that members of his team had rounded up them up.

    “So when you see my buffalo, give it a carrot, give it an apple,” Ross instructed. “They so kind. They so peaceful. . . Thanks everyone for making sure my animals got back into the Promise Land.”
