According to a lawsuit, Kevin Hunter, husband and manager of nationally-syndicated radio personality Wendy Williams, tried to hire a hitman to kill on-air Hot 97 rival Miss Jones. The NY DailyNews reports,
Kevin Hunter tried to hire a hit man to take out Hot 97 DJ Miss Jones after she dissed WBLS shock jock Willams, says the suit, filed in Manhattan federal court. He begged a former WBLS worker to “help him find someone to kill…Tarsha Jones…because he was apparently angry over some comments that Miss Jones made about his wife on the air,” claims the sexual harrassment lawsuit filed by Williams’ talent booker, Nicole Spence.
And as if the story couldn’t get any more scandalous, the suit also claims Wendy approached this same staffer in an effort to get him to help her find a hitman to off Kevin! This is all just too scandalous for my taste. Why can’t these diva radio DJs leave the drama for the Hollywood folks? Seriously, it’s only radio! Why all the drama? I can remember when Jonesy and Wendy were cool…matter fact lets take a look at the good times.
This was back in 2005, just before they’re explosive spat.
A raging fire that officials call “highly suspicious” gutted a Dix Hills home owned by the Grammy-nominated rapper 50 Cent Friday morning, sending six people inside the house to the hospital. Six people, including the rapper’s ex Shaniqua Tompkins and their 10-year-old son Marquise, were in the house. They all were transported to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation. An eyewitness said Tompkins “Was all right…But she was angry.” Word is Tompkins was standing outside the home barefoot as it burned, wearing a bathrobe. Two young boys, one of them Marquise, two teenage girls and “an older woman” were also standing with Tompkins. Coincidentally, the house has been the subject of a bitter dispute between Fiddy, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, and Tompkins. And to make matters worse, Monday afternoon the paps caught Fiddy and Tompkins in a public spat out on the streets in NYC. Check out the video clip HERE
Just when you thought life couldn’t get any worse for Remy Ma, the judge reviewing her case has sentenced her to 8 years in the pen for shooting her ex-BFF. Well, she kinda got a light sentence being that she could have faced up to 25 years in prison. Apparently, Remy was crying her eyes out after she heard the sentence. She states,
“Throughout this unfortunate case, I was advised from my attorney to stay silent but now I want you all to see me for me and what I’ve gone through. Reporters and newspapers have called me a ‘hardcore rapper,’ a ‘hip-hop harlot’—Remy Ma is just a music industry name. A facade. I’m not a thug. I’m not a hardcore anything. I have feelings. I’m Remy Smith—No, I’m Remy Mackie. I’m a wife, mother, daughter and big sister.”
Now, the person who was really hit hard after hearing the sentence was her boo, Papoose. All hell broke out when his ass heard what the judge had to say. Dude began screaming as his goons tried to restrain him,
“Get the fuck off me. Fuck ya’ll. Fuck jail. It’s all about money.”
He then shouted to court officers, who escorted his ass to a nearby elevator and out of the Manhattan Supreme Court,
“I don’t care. Lock me up. Lock me up. Take me to jail. Arrest me. “
As for the victim, Makeda Barnes Joseph, she was in the courtroom for the sentencing, but she wasn’t on the scene when Papoose went mad.
Poor Remy, ya did the crime…now ya gotta do the time! She wasn’t talking all that humble mess when started poppin’ off on her BFF. Too little, too late. But on another note-Papoose must be really sprung to wild out like this- now that’s gangsta lovin’! Remy may be going in but don’t forget who’s coming home…SHYNE.
Instead of exchanging rings on what was supposed to be his wedding day, Papoose exchanged his freedom for some handcuffs after he allegedly tried to break Remy Ma out of the pen. According to the NY Daily News, their jailhouse wedding was canceled after prison officials discovered a handcuff key in Papoose’s possession…an accessory part of one his bracelets he’s always rocked.Luckily for him he was not charged after he voluntarily surrendered the key to authorities, but he was escorted out of Rikers Island. However, pulling this dumb ass stunt cost his ass six months of non-visitation. OMG!, how is Remy going to hold up?
According to a corrections official, “A wedding was scheduled today and a visitor to that wedding service was found to be in possession of jail contraband so the wedding was canceled. The key that was found today easily opened handcuffs that we and other law enforcement officials use.”
Miss Info got the scoop on what really happened at Rikers Island from DJ Kay Slay. Apparently, Papoose walked into Rikers willingly to tie the knot and gave his personal belongings to a guard before entering the building. The guard apparently looked over his property and found his keychain to be a threat and identified it as a skeleton key.Can it get any worse for poor lil’ Remy?! All this downward spiral got me thinking Fat Joe put a curse on Remy…something ain’t right.
Yesterday Reverend Al Sharpton did his best to shut NYC down with his borough to borough protests in honor of the Sean Bell verdict…or rather injustice. There were peaceful well- organized protests bursting across the city, of course the po-po had to make examples of people and arrested a few, including Sharpy and Sean Bell’s fiance. Granted I’m very skeptical on Sharpton’s actions and intentions…comes off as an opportunist who likes pointing fingers when the cameras are on. But for this he gets props. Realtalk all this apathetic attitude is sickening, people need to stand up and get other non caring folks to pay some damn attention. Otherwise this mess will continue…
…just my thoughts on some of the political & social mess, care to share yours?!
He may be facing a year in prison, but that won’t break his spirit. On May 7th at 7:30 PM, T.I. grants his first televised interview exlcusively to BET News in the half-hour special T.I. SPEAKS. He’ll answer the tough questions from host Toure and at-risk youth about his life and future after being sentenced to a year in prison. In a compelling moment, he explains why someone who seems to have everything– money, power and fame — would risk it all.
And no he’s not making excuses for his poor and what many consider downright “stupid” decision, the rapper discusses his best friend’s murder in 2006 and explains how being a celebrity has its drawbacks and “ignites a certain paranoia.”
He says, “Every one knew me and I knew no one … you can’t tell if a person is a fan or not until the (car) window winds down.”
He goes on to deliver a strong message about decision-making to a group of at-risk youth and discusses his thoughts about going back to jail and his career’s future.
He says, “I must be a man and stand up and accept responsibility. I exercised extremely poor judgment, and for that, I must be willing to pay whatever price that comes before me.”
