Dipset rapper Juelz Santana was arrested last week in his hometown of Teaneck, New Jersey after being stopped by the police, who after a search of his Bentley, found 29 hollow point bullets wrapped in a sock and marijuana in the form of blunts and roaches. The arresting officer claimed he smelled marijuana coming from Santana’s car and after searching the vehicle, noticed several “roaches” (very small blunts), Dutch Masters, and White Owl cigars.

Police also discovered nearly $20 grand in cash in a hidden plastic bag filled with “hundreds of Jolly Rancher candies.” They also found a blunt in the sock where they found the hollow points, and a sandwich bag of marijuana in the police car where he had been sitting.

I hate to say it, but this negro is going DOWN…

I guess white girls aren’t the only celebrities who get sprung from prison early. For the past week, there have been reports going back and forth stating that rapper The Game had been released, and shortly after that, the reports changed to him being transferred over to another facility, and then back to him being reelased. Well now the official word from the rapper is that he’s free and back at home.

After serving eight days of jail time, rapper The Game walked out of Los Angeles’ Twin Tower Correctional Facility a free man on March 9. And after conflicting reports as to whether he was indeed free, the Game has officially released a statement confirming that he’s back home.

“I apologize for the conflicting news on my release,” says The Game. “But due to the sensitive negotiations on this matter, I felt it appropriate not to give an exact date on my release. I am truly grateful to my attorney, family and management for doing a great job in this respect. Upon my release I went directly to the studio with producers Cool & Dre and recorded several records including my street record ‘Big Dreams.’ Thank you to all my fans as well for the support.” [ VIA BILLBOARD ]

On charges of aggravated assault against his estranged wife, televangelist Juanita Bynum, Bishop Thomas Weeks plead guilty on Tuesday in open court.

“I want to apologize to my wife for all actions you had to go through,” Weeks said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper. “I know it has been difficult. I appreciate you and I thank you.”

Bishop Weeks admitted to grabbing Evangelist Bynum, throwing to the ground, and kicking and beating her during an August 2007 altercation in the parking lot of an Atlanta, Georgia hotel. Fulton County Superior Court judge T. Jackson Bedford sentenced Weeks to non-church related community service and anger management classes. Once he completes both conditions, the aggravated assault conviction will be expunged from his record.

“I understand if not hundreds of thousands, millions of people look to you for leadership, both moral and spiritual,” Bedford said to both Bynum and Weeks. “Going forward I would be mindful in your conduct in the future. Going through a divorce is a very difficult time. I know what it does to people. I’m very pleased this was able to be worked out. Neither of you needed to be exposed to what would have happened in the courtroom. I wish you the very best,” Bedford said.

I heard drops all over radio throughout the drive home; I immediately ran into the house, destroying anything in my path, like a Britney Spears video premiere was about to happen! I knew Jordan would come through ultimately, yes.

Rapper Bow Wow doesn’t officially turn 21 until this Saturday (March 15th), but that didn’t stop him from celebrating in Washington D.C. this past Saturday (March 8th) at the Love Nightclub. Click Here for more photos.

Producer Polow Da Don, the man responsible for invading the nation’s radios with In This Club by Usher and Young Jeezy, was the victim of an attempted robbery inside of his Atlanta recording studio Monday night (March 10th). According to various sources, a group of unknown masked gunmen entered the studio late Monday night and robbed those present of their money and jewelry. Here’s what Polow had to say … word for word:

“They thought they came to rob me, but I have heart and I have God shawty,” Polow Da Don said in a statement released Tuesday. “These crack head ass niggas I guess called themselves robbing me, but we robbed them…I wasn’t scared I was mad. I was likes “these dumb ass weak ass niggas.

“You gone have to shoot me because until then, I dont believe you. I am a man…and nine times out of ten a nigga calling himself a ‘robba‘, a ‘thug’ or a ‘gangsta’ is a cover up for being too weak (weather it be physically, spiritually or mentally) to be a man. It’s hard to learn how to be a man…luckily my teacher stuck with me….thanks Dad, I love you! Kids…do you know where your father is right now?”
