  • Peewee Longway’s Jewelry Up For Auction

    It’s been a tough time for rapper Peewee Longway. Following his arrest in September 2024 on federal drug and gun charges, the rapper has now pleaded guilty. As part of a plea deal, he faces a maximum prison sentence of 14 years. This development comes as federal authorities have begun auctioning off a significant amount of jewelry that was seized during his arrest.

    The Plea Deal and Seized Assets

    Longway pleaded guilty to Conspiracy to Possess with the Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Prosecutors had accused him of trafficking drugs through his studio and storing firearms at both his home and studio. The plea deal aims to resolve these serious charges, but it comes with a hefty potential prison sentence.

    During the initial arrest nearly two years ago, law enforcement seized a large collection of Longway’s assets, including numerous pieces of jewelry. This haul reportedly included chains, pendants, bracelets, and watches. It’s standard procedure for the government to auction off such seized items once a case has progressed, especially after a guilty plea.

    Jewelry Auction Details Emerge

    Now that Longway has agreed to the plea deal, the auction process has kicked off. Social media has seen some of the starting bids and prices for these items. For example, a ‘Longway Longway’ pendant is reportedly going for $11,500, while a pendant with ‘diamond simulants’ is listed at a much lower $30. Another intricate pendant has garnered a highest bid of around $7,000.

    It’s worth noting that these auctions often include items from multiple cases, so not all pieces necessarily belong solely to Longway. The government typically bundles items together. It remains uncertain if Longway will have the opportunity or the means to reclaim any of these pieces after his release from prison.

    Sentencing and Future Outlook

    Peewee Longway is expected to receive a sentence between 10 and 14 years. His official sentencing date is set for this summer, on July 9. This marks a significant turning point in the rapper’s career and legal battles.

  • Peewee Longway Takes Plea Deal in Federal Case

    After a lengthy legal battle, Atlanta rapper Peewee Longway has decided to accept a plea deal in his federal drug and gun case. This decision comes after facing serious charges that could have led to decades behind bars.

    The Allegations and the Plea

    Longway was arrested in Georgia back in September 2024 and subsequently indicted on five federal charges, including drug and firearm offenses. Prosecutors alleged that his studio was found to be housing approximately 3,000 Fentanyl pills and six firearms. Additionally, more firearms were reportedly discovered at his home. Investigators also claimed there was compelling evidence linking Longway to a transaction involving 4 kg of meth trafficked through the studio, supported by alleged text messages indicating drug trafficking efforts.

    According to Complex, Longway officially entered his plea on April 1st, pleading guilty to two charges: Conspiracy to Possess with the Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. This plea resolves the major allegations that could have resulted in a lengthy prison sentence.

    Sentencing and Future Outlook

    As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors are expected to recommend a maximum sentence of 14 years. Longway’s defense team has agreed not to request a sentence of less than 10 years. This means the rapper is facing a potential prison term between 10 and 14 years. His official sentencing is scheduled for July 9th.

    It’s worth noting that Longway is also involved in another federal case in Georgia, though updates on that matter have been scarce. In related news, some of Longway’s jewelry was recently put up for auction by the Federal Government, with some pieces fetching thousands of dollars.

    A Difficult Chapter Closes

    This plea deal marks a significant turning point in Peewee Longway’s legal troubles. While the outcome involves a substantial prison sentence, it brings a degree of closure to the charges he faced. The rapper will now await his official sentencing date to learn the exact duration of his time behind bars.

  • Charleston White Claims He Got Boosie’s Son Arrested

    The long-standing feud between Charleston White and Boosie Badazz appears to have escalated, with White now claiming to have directly caused the arrest of Boosie’s son, Tootie Raww. In a video shared by DJ Akademiks on Instagram, White asserted that he was responsible for Tootie Raww’s detainment in Atlanta on charges related to possessing a Glock with an illegal switch.

    An Unsubstantiated Claim

    At the time of reporting, there are no official police reports or news confirmations to substantiate Charleston White’s claim. However, White seemed confident in his social media video, stating, ‘Somebody tell TMZ, Tootie Raww, Lil Boosie’s son, I just put his a** in jail.’ He further elaborated, alleging he knew the boy had the switch and that the arrest occurred within two hours of him arriving in Atlanta.

    White directed his comments towards Boosie Badazz, suggesting that Tootie Raww’s alleged actions were a form of harassment. He also alluded to karma, stating, ‘Bad s**t is happening to y’all, and I ain’t got nothing to do with it. I think it’s the Lord. You know what? I think it’s that karma that y’all be trying to get me to believe in. I think karma got Tootie.’

    Escalating Online Tensions

    This alleged incident adds another layer to the ongoing online conflict between White and Boosie’s camp. White also mentioned giving props to T.I.’s son King Harris and calling out YSL Woody, indicating his continued engagement in various hip-hop related discussions and disputes.

    While Charleston White seems to be enjoying the drama, the lack of official confirmation means Tootie Raww’s alleged arrest remains unverified. It remains to be seen how Boosie Badazz will respond to these claims, but it’s clear the beef between him and Charleston White is far from over.

  • Boosie BadAzz Pleads Guilty to Federal Gun Charges

    Rapper Boosie BadAzz, born Torrence Hatch Jr., has officially entered a guilty plea to federal gun charges in San Diego. The 42-year-old Louisiana artist accepted accountability in a federal court on Tuesday, marking a significant development in his ongoing legal issues.

    From Music Video Shoot to Federal Charges

    Boosie was initially arrested in May 2023 during a traffic stop in San Diego’s Chollas View neighborhood. Police claimed they found two loaded handguns in the vehicle. At the time, Boosie was in California to film a music video and perform. Authorities reportedly used a helicopter to track the vehicle he left in after allegedly spotting him holding a firearm during an Instagram Live session while filming.

    The plea resolves the federal case against him. Boosie stated on Instagram, “Just accepted a plea from the federal government on my gun case. I thought this case was over n I was going to get on with my life but ‘god don’t make mistakes’ n I’m tired of fighting.” He expressed that this was the right decision after talking with his family and asked fans for prayers.

    A Legal Reversal Paved the Way for the Plea

    The case had seen a previous dismissal just weeks before the plea. A federal judge had initially dismissed the charges following a Ninth Circuit ruling that deemed it unconstitutional to ban nonviolent felons from owning guns. However, this decision was later reversed by a larger panel from the Ninth Circuit, reinstating the charges and placing Boosie back under legal scrutiny.

    This reversal highlights the dynamic nature of legal proceedings, especially when high-profile individuals are involved. While some fans perceived the situation as a setup, others viewed it as another obstacle in Boosie’s continuous fight within the legal system.

    Sentencing Scheduled for November

    With his guilty plea now on record, Boosie awaits his official sentencing date, which is scheduled for November 21, 2025. The exact penalties he may face, including potential restrictions or prison time, have not yet been detailed by the court.
