Just weeks after celebrating the end of his house arrest by slicing off his ankle monitor and cannonballing into a pool, the controversial rapper has been slapped with a $250,000 bill for ditching a D.C. concert. Ezoic A federal judge ruled that he breached a signed performance agreement when he ghosted the October 2018 show—and then performed at a competing event the same night. The U.S. District Court in D.C. ordered the rapper to pay compensatory damages to Hits Before Fame LLC and After Hours LLC after failing to show up for a sold-out October 28, 2018, concert at Echostage planned around Howard University’s homecoming. According to the complaint, 6ix9ine accepted nearly $60,000 in performance fees but ghosted promoters and vanished—only to pop up hours later performing at Powerhouse NJ at the Prudential Center in Newark. Ezoic The court ruled that 6ix9ine violated the terms of his contract after months of rescheduling, renegotiating, and receiving wire transfers and cash—most of it funneled through his former manager, Kifano “Shotti” Jordan, who was later imprisoned for unrelated charges. Documents show 6ix9ine’s team stopped communicating with the promoters just as ticket sales surged past $165,000, VIP tables sold out, and more than 3,000 fans waited outside in cold rain. Ezoic One of his own agents even threatened to cancel the event weeks before, but days later, 6ix9ine recorded a video hyping the rescheduled gig as a “make-up date for the Howard homecoming”—a clip that was never shared publicly. When the rapper no-showed, Echostage canceled the concert a half an hour before doors opened to avoid a potential riot. Promoters were left scrambling to refund all ticket and VIP sales while being bombarded with threats and trolling across social media. The judge rejected the promoters’ additional claims for defamation and unjust enrichment, citing insufficient evidence or conflicting logic, including 6ix9ine’s own Instagram rant where he said “the people did not pay me” and that “the money never came to me.” The court concluded the statements were vague and likely targeted his Shotti—not the plaintiffs. Ultimately, the court granted judgment only on breach of contract, awarding $250,000 in damages. Share AllHipHop

Is The Alleged Murderer Of Doe B Out Of Jail?

The sad fact is that Doe B was one of the most promising rappers. He was signed by T.I. He was from Alabama. And he had a very loyal following. He was killed in December of 2013. After he was killed there was a tremendous amount of drama. His murder was tragic to say the least. Anyway, AllHipHop has unverified sources with AllHipHop have told us that Doe B’s accused murderer is out. The police sought to put him away for life, but simply didn’t have the evidence to do it. Remember, Doe B was shot in an infamous Alabama nightclub, known to be unsafe by locals. Some have made it clear that Doe was set up and somebody (aka “security”) let the killer in – allegedly. Anywaym lets not forget Kimberlie Johnson, who was also killed on that fateful night. There were six others that were injured by the fracas. Sadly, these folks may never see justice. On the music side, our sources are absolutely positive that there will be more Doe B music to come. So, look out for that. RIP DOE B.
