Arrest Warrant Issued For Mos Def

Remember back in August when Mos attacked that photog in Vegas because he took his picture? Well, that photographic chicken has come home to roost. Mos is facing charges of felony robbery and malicious destruction of private property and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. And get this, the dude was a credentialed photog for the event [the annual Men's Apparel and Garment Industry Convention (MAGIC)], and claims he didn't even know who Mos was until after he'd snatched, smashed and ran off with his camera.

BMF Hummer Limo Auctioned Off With $875,000 Inside


A Hummer limousine seized from the drug-dealing Black Mafia Family almost four years ago had been sold at auction, then sold three times more. It had been carrying teenagers to proms and brides and grooms to weddings.

But as federal officials prepared for a June trial, they “debriefed” other BMF members and learned agents missed something when they searched the Hummer.
In August, agents tracked down the car, looked underneath the seats and found $875,000 in cash and seven brand new semi-automatic weapons, believed to be proceeds from BMF cocaine transactions.

R.I.P

Shakir 'Shake' Stewart, who stepped in as Def Jam V.P. following Jay Z, died of a self inflicted gun shot wound over the weekend. On Sunday (November 2), his fiancee, Michelle Rivers, released a joint statement with the rest of his family. ''Over the past several weeks, Shakir's behavior was inconsistent with the man we all know and love,'' the statement said. ''As much as we all tried to help him, Shakir was in deep pain and largely suffering in silence.''
The Oakland, Calif., native graduated from Morehouse College in 1996 and previously worked with the Hitco publishing company, where he signed Beyonce to a publishing deal, and Arista Records, where he signed Ciara. Shake also signed Rick Ross and Young Jeezy to Def Jam before being named VP in June.

Larry Johnson Suspended and Dropped By Agent

Kansas City Chief Larry Johnson has been suspended for week 10 of the NFL season for violating the league's personal conduct policy after being charged with simple assault for a October 10 skrimish where he spit in a woman's face and threatened her boyfriend and for mushing a chick in the face back in December in a different bar incident. He'd already been deactivated for the past two weeks by the Chiefs and didn't play this past Sunday against Tampa Bay. He will miss the Chiefs' game at San Diego next weekend under the suspension which will cost him about $147,000, or one game check.

Larry has this to say for himself: "This is the first time in my life I actually had to stand up, I mean actually woke up and kind of be disgusted with myself and disgusted as far as the way my life and my career is heading right now. In times of darkness, you've got to look for the light and that's what I plan on doing, regardless of what suspensions and fines are being handed down. I will take them as sincerely as they give them out."

Larry has also parted ways with his agent. "I did, indeed, decide to resign as Larry agent's this past Monday," his former agent said in a statement. "I don't want to get into the specifics of why. But I think it's in the best interest for me and Larry to go our separate ways. I am fully confident Larry will rise above all of the adversity and get his career back on the track. I wish him the best in all of his career endeavors."

They Say

The real reason Terrence Howard was kicked off the Iron Man sequel was because of his difficult behavior on set and because the director and producers were unhappy with his performance in the original and subsequently low balled his salary in an effort to force him out of the sequel.

Don't Hold Your Breath

Cause it ain't gonna happen. Earlier this week Jermaine Jackson told an Australian newspaper that the Jackson 5, including Michael, was reuniting and going on tour and that Janet would be their opening act. I guess nobody bothered to tell Mike because he had this to say about it, "My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we've certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them."
