It appears storm clouds may be brewing in Trina’s personal life. It has been reported today that her man, Benjamin “Swurv” Kearse, has been arrested for battery following an incident nearly two years ago in Miami. Though Trina is widely lauded as a pioneer in hip-hop, this unfortunate circumstance casts a light on some struggles in her family life. A police report obtained by TMZ Hip Hop states the incident happened in July 2023 and started off as a seemingly harmless disagreement. It was a pedestrian “in a crosswalk at stop sign.”

Tensions flared when the man hit the trunk of Kearse’s car as Kearse got to the crosswalk in his black Dodge Charger, the report says. What happened next for his was even more troubling. Kearse was reportedly upset and called the man over, and it seemed he was trying to confront him. The pedestrian listened, apparently willing to resolve it. But Kearse reportedly lost his cool before the man could explain what he was doing there. It is to be determined whether their exchange concluded at that point or if things simmered down in the interim. Well, the situation unfortunately didn’t end there. Later, Kearse allegedly located the pedestrian at a nearby residence.

The constant confrontation eventually resulted in the battery charge, bringing legal woes to the rapper’s home. This ordeal may be especially difficult for Trina, as she’s no stranger to personal loss and public scrutiny. The Miami rap legend faces another chapter of hard times as her husband works through the legal system. Though more details about the incident are scarce, the arrest has ruffled feathers in hip-hop and tabloid circles. Trina’s fans, who have long embraced her strength and authenticity, are wishing her peace amid the chaos.

What began as a noble act of tribute has taken a twisted turn as Boosie Badazz attempts to set up a scholarship in honor of Caleb Wilson, the 20-year-old Southern University student who died as a result of severe hazing during his fraternity initiation. The goodwill gesture by the Louisiana rapper is now under threat of legal action from Wilson’s family, who say the initiative was being used for self-promotion without their approval. The scholarship, which Boosie had announced in a local news interview, was intended to celebrate Caleb’s memory. “Caleb’s life was taken too soon,” Boosie said during the broadcast. “Me bringing this to Baton Rouge, I feel like I’m a part of it too … so I just want to make it right.”

His impulse to support local students in the name of Caleb seemed genuine as if motivated by empathy and a sense of community. The family of Caleb Wilson, however, sees things differently. They claim Boosie’s actions weren’t fully sincere and accuse him of using their son’s name for publicity while promoting his 6th annual Boosie Bash Festival, which took place just a week before Caleb’s tragic death. Though the rapper publicly expressed gratitude to Caleb’s father for supporting the scholarship, the family maintains it knew nothing of the initiative and is now calling into question the validity of Boosie’s statements.

Things have moved quickly, with the Wilson family exploring legal options. From that perspective, using Caleb’s name without formal permission, especially while they’re still grieving, is adding additional hurt to a loss that’s already painful enough. Conflicting narratives about the scholarship’s endorsement have raised questions of transparency and communication. However dear Boosie Badazz is to his community, this fallout is a sobering reminder that grieving families deserve a seat at the table when it comes to memorialization. What might have started as a genuine act has turned into a web of competing narratives and lost trust.
