• AC/DC's Phil Rudd Allegedly Threatened to Kill a Man and His 10-Year-Old Daughter: Prosecutors Release Details

    The case against AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd continues to get worse. Details of the allegations against the percussionist were released last week, and they are pretty rough. His murder-for-hire charge was already dropped, and Rudd pled not guilty to the remaining threatening-to-kill and drug-possession charges. Now New Zealand prosecutors claim Rudd called the victim and threatened to kill him and his 10-year-old daughter in September, "The Guardian" reported.According to the publication, Rudd had made a phone call prior to threatening the victim in which he spoke to a third party and outlined what he wanted to do. The drummer did not deny possessing methamphetamine or marijuana. He will return to court Feb. 10.Police in New Zealand raided Rudd's home in November, executing a search warrant when they found the drugs. The charge of trying to procure the services of a hitman was dropped shortly after his arrest when prosecutors decided there was not enough evidence for the claim.

Scenes from protests follow, with police sporting riot gear and citizens chanting "Hands up, don't shoot.""We want justice," Raekwon raps. "Police are supposed to protect and serve / And then they shoot us down like wild animals, the nerve / Of them cold-hearted killers with blue suits / Slaying our black youth."Check out the video below.

He reportedly owed $728,000 in back taxes, and his probation for that incident ended Saturday.In a separate incident, the rapper was arrested in 2012 after police pulled him and a friend over and found codeine syrup, prescription pills and a loaded handgun in the vehicle, per a previous report. Both men were felons and therefore not allowed to possess a loaded firearm. Police also found $4,500 that Sigel claimed he won.

I could not take it in that he was gone. It was a very big shock.

  • Chris Brown Says Karrueche Tran Went on Dates with Drake and Had Threesomes While They Were Dating

    The Chris Brown-Karrueche Tran drama continues. After Brown announced his single status at a concert in Los Angeles Friday, Dec. 5, the pair took to Instagram to air out some of their dirty laundry for all to read. Brown even called Tran out for going on dates with rapper Drake in Toronto while he was in prison. As per usual with public break-ups, each party is blaming the other for the dissolution of the relationship.As "MTV News" points out, Tran posted a text picture that reads, "When something bad happens you can either let it define you, let it destroy you or let it strengthen you. The choice is yours."She then commented on the post:Once you find strength within yourself, it's hard to allow any type of bs around you. I refuse to be repeatedly mistreated especially by someone who claims to love me. That's not love. And if that's what you define as love then I don't want it. Yes, I have not been so smart before in the past but I made a promise to be a better and stronger woman and I'm keeping that promise. If you can't love me the right way, then don't love me at all. Don't be mad at me because I prefer to be happy. Keep love in your life folks. Not just love between people but love within your HEART, flowing in all aspects of your life. I promise life is so much better.Brown responded with his own text photo that reads, "It amazes me that you can change and elevate somebody's life completely and they treat you like a regular n***a... BUT IM SLEEP."His comment on the post said that Tran only visited him once while he was in prison after a judge sentenced him to a few months for violating his probation in the 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna. He also claimed that Tran met up with Drake and participated in threesomes at the beginning of the relationship.
