So I’m guessing that going to jail was on a lot of rapper’s Christmas list this year because it seems like everyone is getting arrested these days. Recently rapper and YoungBloodz’s member Sean P was arrested this week on disorderly conduct charges and is facing serious criminal charges. WSBT News reports:
“He was also facing simple battery but those charges were later dropped. The rapper appeared in court Tuesday, according to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. His bond was set at $1,500. The arrest stems from an incident at Tongue and Groove Monday night in the 500 block of Main Street in northwest Atlanta.The rapper hosted a release party there for his new mix tape.Channel 2 Action News is working to learn more about what transpired Monday night and will update this story on wsbtv.com and Channel 2 Action News.”
As of now, there have been no updates regarding this situation but we will definitely keep you updated on this case.
Kid Cudi Detained by LAPD
Next joining the jailbait Christmas list is Kid Cudi. Only this is the first time that I can say someone was actually falsely accused! According to reports, Cudi was falsely accused of burglary and detained by the police while driving in California on December 21, 2009.
According to nme.com, Cudi was held at gunpoint and surrounded by a number of police cars following a photo shoot and few live performances in Los Angeles. AllHipHop.com reports that they were ordered out of their vehicle and forced to their knees. Eventually the police realized it was a case of mistaken identity.
Cudi spoke on this issue and had this to say:
“Who knows, really, the story changed a bunch,” Cudi told nme.com. “I’m just happy to be back. I’m a free man! For that moment I was not free. I was in handcuffs. It did not feel very comfortable.”
Well Cudi, we’re glad it was all mistaken identity; you get a get-out-of-jail-free card this time!
Beyonce and Maxwell to Perform at the Grammys
Well, It’s that time again folks. Yep, you’ve guessed it the Grammy Awards! This year’s list of performers have been announced and the line-up includes Beyonce, Maxwell, The Black Eyed Peas and even Taylor Swift. Let’s hope we can keep Kanye in his seat!
This will be the 52nd Grammy Awards show and I’m excited to see all the performances. As of right, not all of the performers have been released. AllHipHop.com reports on a few of the artists performing:
“Beyonce, who already has 10 Grammy wins on her ledger, leads the trio with 10 nominations this year, including Record of the Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (“Halo”), Album of Year (I Am…Sasha Fierce), Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance (“At Last”), and Best R&B Song (“Single Ladies”). Maxwell has secured 6 nominations. Powered by his successful LP Blacksummers’ Night, Maxwell’s list features distinctions for Song of the Year, Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song for “Pretty Wings,” Best Pop Instrumental Performance (“Phoenix Rise”), and Best R&B Album.Three-time Grammy winners The Black Eyed Peas have also secured 6 nominations, including Record of the Year (“I Gotta Feeling”), Best Pop Vocal Album, and Album of the Year for The E.N.D.”
Looks like we may actually have a decent show this year! Well at least I’m hoping, Not sure about all of you but I am tired of poor quality award shows. It’s getting a bit overrated now! The Grammys are set to air Sunday, January 31 at 8pm live from the Los Angeles Staples Center. Will you be watching?
