NBA Youngboy Investigated Over Alleged Brutal Assault

Youngboy Never Broke Again is one of the biggest things in music and, one of the reasons why his fans connect with him so much is because of his authenticity. It feels like the 21-year-old artist is still living his regular life, not making it far out of the streets despite having loads of money.

As his music continues to gain him favor within the music industry, with his consistency being second-to-none, NBA Youngboy cannot seem to stay out of trouble with the police.

This week, it’s being revealed that a current investigation into the rapper is happening in Texas, after a man was sent to the hospital following a studio session with YB.

According to TMZ, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office in Texas is presently looking into Youngboy Never Broke Again as a suspect in a brutal assault case.

The man who was assaulted alleges that he and his girlfriend went to the studio to work on music with YB but that, when they arrived, they were told that no women were allowed inside the building. The man’s girlfriend left. When the alleged victim walked in solo, he made his way to the garage, where Youngboy and his team allegedly beat the crap out of him. They placed a bag over his head and proceeded to stomp him out, kicking and punching him.

The victim managed to get the bag off of his head for a moment, where he recognized NBA Youngboy as one of his attackers. He also says that he noticed a body bag in the room and, when he asked why it was there, the crew told him that they were going to put him inside of it.

The report reads that, after that point, YB hopped on FaceTime with his manager, who told the rapper to let the guy go because he had just beat one case and didn’t need more trouble.

Somebody was then allegedly ordered to drop the man off in front of his house. Once he was dropped off, his mother and girlfriend brought him to the hospital.

He had bruises on his legs and cuts on his face, but his injuries were not life-threatening.

The alleged assault took place on October 5.

Thus far, Youngboy Never Broke Again has not commented on these allegations.

DJ Akademiks questions if Lil Durk will get bond as the racketeering case goes on

Lil Durk’s legal battle is about to take another big step, and DJ Akademiks is already sharing his expectations for what could go down when the rapper returns to court in November.

Durk is in custody, awaiting his next VICAR case in which authorities say he was running a criminal enterprise. His next trial was set for October 5, but recent developments have called into question when those proceedings will occur.

Durk’s murder for hire trial recently resulted in a not guilty verdict in November. Regardless of that outcome, he remains in custody because the separate racketeering related charges remain unresolved. Durk’s attorneys have asked for the new hearing and have been ordered to appear by U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services, which also must submit a fresh bail report.

Against that backdrop, legal commentator Bradford Cohen had previously suggested Durk could eventually get bond. That view ties in with Durk’s not-guilty verdict in the earlier case, and the argument that the outcome could make it harder to sustain the remaining allegations.

DJ Akademiks sees things a bit differently. In a recent livestream, Akademiks predicted that Durk would not get a bond at the Nov. hearing. He believes the charges will stick and cites the seriousness of the allegations in the VICAR case as his reasoning. He also doesn’t appear to expect the rapper to be released from jail anytime soon as the case moves forward.

Akademiks’ prediction concerns the bond hearing, not Durk’s chances at trial. Durk’s legal situation remains unresolved for now. His recent acquittal has altered the circumstances of his arrest, but the separate racketeering case still looms over the rapper as both sides prepare for the next phase.

DJ Akademiks Resurrects 2015 Drake vs. Meek Mill Beef With Alleged Nicki Minaj Backstory

DJ Akademiks is digging up hip-hop history buried for 10 years as he offers his supposed explanation for how the Drake/Meek Mill feud came to a head in 2015. The back-and-forth between Akademiks and Meek Mill has resurfaced the conversation. Akademiks returned to the long-running Drake-Meek beef on his stream last night, saying a comment by Nicki Minaj had something to do with what happened between the two rappers.

According to Akademiks, Meek and Minaj were shopping at a designer fashion store when they got to the register. He says that when Meek told her he didn’t have the cash to pay for Minaj, she allegedly told him he would never be Drake. Akademiks also claims Minaj left the store on her own, and then Meek went on X, and what happened next started the infamous feud with Drake.

The account remains an allegation, not a confirmed explanation. The information provided has not been independently verified, and ultimately only those involved, including Minaj and Meek Mill, could confirm the story’s authenticity.

The beef between Drake and Meek Mill started in 2015 and has become a staple in hip-hop conversation. Meek struggled after the fallout, while the beef became a defining moment in Drake’s career. However, the two eventually made up and collaborated on “Going Bad,” signaling a return to a more cooperative relationship despite the rivalry’s tension.

Now that Akademiks and Meek are throwing shots again, the events of 2015 are back in the conversation. By reflecting on the feud, Akademiks has added another possible piece of context to a story that has been a hot topic in hip-hop for years.

Whether his version of events is what actually happened, however, remains unresolved. Currently, the designer-store story isn’t factual, but it is Akademiks’ version of the events surrounding the beef.
