Young Buck Indicted On Gun Charge, Facing 10 Years In Prison

Young Buck Indicted On Gun Charge, Facing 10 Years In Prison

Young Buck is back in headlines again, this time for being indicted in Nashville, Tennessee.

As previously reported, the IRS auctioned off several off his personal items after he faced a $300,000 tax lien.

Since then the ex G-Unit rapper filed for bankruptcy and reportedly sued 50 Cent for a contract dispute.

Now after moving past his money woes, Buck is in even more trouble after being indicted on a federal gun charge.

According to Nashville’s WSMV News, Buck, real name David Darnell Brown, has been charged with being a convicted felon in possession of a .40-caliber pistol and ammunition.

Buck reportedly plead not guilty to the charge and is out on bond.

He must surrender his passport as terms of his release.

Buck was previously convicted of stabbing a man at the 2004 VIBE awards and can no longer carry a gun or ammunition.

Suge Knight Drops $1M Lawsuit Against Kanye West

Suge Knight Drops $1M Lawsuit Against Kanye West

Suge Knight and Kanye West have finally reached a settlement in an ongoing lawsuit filed by the Death Row head.

Knight filed a $1 million lawsuit against West after he was shot in the leg during a 2005 VMA Awards after party where Ye was hosting.

Knight also says he lost a valuable earring at the club worth $135,000 and paid over $200,000 in medical expenses because Ye failed to have adequate security.

A federal judge tossed the $1 million lawsuit out in November however, a month before it was set to go to trial.

The judge concluded that there was no evidence that a shooting at the party was predictable.

Now according to the Associated Press, Suge recently dropped an appeal he filed against the ruling.

As a result, both sides are said to have reached a confidential agreement to settle court costs.

Jay-Z Worried About Rihanna's Deteriorating Health

Jay-Z Worried About Rihanna’s Deteriorating Health

When Rihanna performed at the NBA All-Star Game last month, it was apparent her typically stellar vocals were a bit on the weak side, as the singer was reportedly suffering from a bout with bronchitis. The singer hasn’t really taken any down time to deal with her health problems by easing up on her appearances, which has caused longtime mentor and friend Jay-Z to take notice.

Jay-Z is worried that the 23-year-old is being overworked and that her current schedule is causing her health to deteriorate. “Rihanna’s professional, works hard and stays away from drugs and alcohol, but Jay wants her to be careful,” a source told the publication.

During the Grammy Awards in February, the ‘S&M’ songstress fell ill with bronchitis and laryngitis, yet still managed to perform despite the setback such sicknesses could cause her in the longrun. To help Rihanna get her vocals back in tip-top shape, the ‘Empire State of Mind’ rapper suggests she takes a much needed break.

Jay-Z is concerned the singer could resume contact with former flame Chris Brown.
