Tekashi 6ix9ine Thrown Out Of Florida Club And Detained After Altercation
AllHipHop reported that Tekashi was enjoying a night out at Playpen 2 in Hialeah, Fla., on Sunday (July 6) before getting into a heated confrontation with another attendee. Police arrived on the scene and escorted both men out of the club, but the polarizing rapper allegedly wasn't cooperative.
The 'MALA' artist was placed in handcuffs given his furious outbursts toward several police officers, but he was eventually released. Despite other people not being fully cooperative with the police, there were no official arrests made. Check out the footage of Tekashi being detained below.
Fortunately for 6ix9ine, this situation didn't end in a worse manner. However, he is preparing to appear in court for violating the terms of his supervised release from jail after police found drugs and weapons in his home back in March. Specifically, they discovered MDMA pills, a bag with cocaine residue, fentanyl, marijuana, a handgun, and more illicit items. 6ix9ine was detained for six hours while his property was searched.
He owned up to drug possession, which led to prosecutors dropping his charges for possessing a firearm and fentanyl. This plea deal was projected to help him avoid a hearing set for July. He is in the midst of a five-year supervised release sentence after his 2019 federal conviction for racketeering, offenses related to firearms, and violent crimes stemming from his role in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods crew.
Tekashi infamously got on the bad side of his Hip-Hop peers when he worked alongside federal authorities and testified against gang members he was associated with. As a result, his initial sentence got dropped to two years in prison and 1,000 hours of community service, in addition to his current stint under supervised release.

Barbz vs. Billionaire: Nicki Minaj Claims Jay-Z Owes Her $200 Million–'Call Me To Settle This Karmic Debt'
Nicki Minaj is taking her feud with Jay-Z to another level, blasting the billionaire for allegedly owing her what she says is hundreds of millions of dollars. Source: Nicki Minaj and Jay-Z The rapper has been shading the Roc Nation founder for weeks, and on Tuesday, July 8, Minaj escalated her recent claims that Jay-Z owed her millions of dollars for her stake in Tidal. When Hov launched the music streaming platform back in 2015, fifteen artists–including Nicki, Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Ye–were gifted three percent Tidal equity, worth $56 million at the time, per Complex . In 2021, Tidal was sold to Square for $302 million, with Minaj and the other celebrity owners reportedly keeping their stake after the sale. Now the rapper is saying that she was offered $1 million for her share of the company, not the approximately $9 million that she would be owed if the company was valued at the price of the Square sale. Because of this, Nicki is publicly blasting Jay-Z for allegedly owing her an amount that nears the entire price of the sale. 'We've calculated about 100-200MM so far,' she wrote on X. '#JayZ call me to settle this karmic debt. It's only collecting more interest.' She added, 'And anyone still calling him Hov will answer to God for the blasphemy.' Minaj went on to repost Barbz who backed her claims, going on to say that she'd use the money she claims is owed to her 'to send some of my Barbz to college, pay their school fees & student loans via my #StudentOfTheGame charity.' Nicki went on to direct further criticism at Roc Nation as a whole when she called out CEO Desiree Perez, sharing a screenshot of a video that accused Perez of abusing her own daughter, Demoree. The clip alleges that Perez held her daughter against her will and physically assaulted her, claims that have not been verified, according to Vibe . She went on to blast Jay-Z for hiring a CEO that's not Black, tweeting, 'Isn't this the lady being accused by her daughter of being racist against black ppl #JayZ?!?!!!! There was no black woman smart enough to be the CEO of your company?!?' She went on to address Jay and 'Desirat' personally, saying they ruined hiphop, football, basketball, touring, Instagram, and Twitter, adding, 'All of this is alleged & for entertainment purposes only.' While Nicki's rants are going up on X now, she started her rampage on Instagram, which she now claims to be locked out of. After sharing multiple posts slamming Jay-Z, Roc Nation, and Megan Thee Stallion, Minaj claimed on X: 'Barbz it looks like I've been locked out of my Instagram.' While she doesn't say it explicitly, Nicki seems to be implying that Jay-Z had something to do with locking her out of Instagram, which is her reasoning for saying he and Roc Nation ruined the platform. It's unclear how long her alleged ban will last, but until then, it doesn't seem like her tweeting is slowing down anytime soon.

Preston Spire Taps Dustin Black to Supercharge 'Good Wins' Creative Philosophy
25-Year Industry Veteran to Guide Agency Through AI Evolution with "Culture of Curiosity" and Collaborative Leadership MINNEAPOLIS, MN / ACCESS Newswire / July 9, 2025 / Preston Spire, the independent, employee-owned creative agency founded on delivering Good Wins™, is proud to announce Dustin Black as its new Executive Creative Director. In this role, Black will help supercharge Preston Spire's approach to uncovering each brand's untapped potential and transforming it into authentic growth that transcends category conventions. "I was drawn to Preston Spire's culture and agility," says Black. "Here's an independent shop in my backyard with the DNA for exceptional creative work-one that's not beholden to shareholder pressures but actually invests in people and breakthrough ideas. That's exactly the environment where Good Wins happen." Black brings over 25 years of award-winning creative leadership to Preston Spire. His work has been recognized by the Clios, D&AD, Communication Arts, Cannes Lions, The One Show, Obie Awards, Telly Awards, and Effie Awards. Throughout his career at agencies including Carmichael Lynch, Colle McVoy, and BBDO, Black has led breakthrough campaigns for brands like Perdue Chicken, Frank's RedHot, Craftsman Tools, Jackson Hole Tourism, Hormel, and MSNBC. Most recently, he helped transform Colle McVoy into one of the country's most celebrated creative agencies, earning Adweek's Midsize Agency of the Year and a coveted spot on the AdAge A-List. His transition to the independent agency world reflects his belief that the traditional holding company model is fundamentally shifting. "Between economic pressures and holding companies focused on squeezing every dollar from the bottom line, that model no longer serves the best interests of clients or the people working there," Black explains. "I believe independents are the future-they're faster, more nimble, and better positioned to deliver the kind of creativity clients need in today's AI-powered economy." Central to Black's leadership philosophy is fostering a "culture of curiosity"-a defining principle from his tenure at Colle McVoy. "Curiosity allows us to see different viewpoints and work seamlessly across departments," he says. "We're solving increasingly complex problems, and it's no longer just the creative department leading the charge. We need media, data, and strategy all working in harmony." Black's entrepreneurial spirit extends beyond advertising. He co-authored "The Book of Spam" (Simon & Schuster), helped launch an ice cream shop, and creates large-scale felt art that will be exhibited at MSP Airport starting in October. "I've always believed you have to chase outside curiosities," he notes. "Our business requires lifelong learning and drawing inspiration from everywhere." Looking ahead, Black is focused on guiding Preston Spire through the evolving creative landscape, particularly around artificial intelligence. "AI can enhance efficiency, but it can't replicate lived experience or human insight," he says. "Our job is building the tech stack that supports creativity while fiercely protecting the irreplaceable spark that only people can bring." "Dustin embodies everything we believe in," says Jennifer Spire, CEO of Preston Spire. "He's not just a creative powerhouse-he's a culture builder who understands that thinking differently isn't just nice to have anymore, it's essential for survival. He's going to be transformative for our agency and our clients." About Preston Spire Preston Spire is an independent, employee-owned creative agency that supercharges the good in brands so they positively grow. We believe every brand has untapped potential that, when activated, creates electric transformation in marketing performance. With a consistent track record of helping regional and emerging brands achieve previously unreached levels of success. Named AdAge Best Place to work the past two years and Midwest Small Agency of the Year, Preston Spire exists to give our clients the market changing power of Good Wins™.

Alabama attorney general pushes for trial of an ex-officer accused of fatally shooting an armed man
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A former Alabama police officer charged with murder for shooting an armed Black man in the man's front yard during a dispute with a tow-truck driver shouldn't be granted immunity before going to trial, the state's attorney general says. In a court brief filed late Tuesday, Attorney General Steve Marshall said a lower court was correct in ruling that former Decatur police officer Mac Marquette, 25, failed to show 'a clear legal right to prosecutorial immunity' when he fatally shot Stephen Perkins on Sept. 29, 2023. Shortly before 2 a.m., Marquette and two other officers accompanied the tow truck driver to repossess Perkins' pickup truck at his home in Decatur. When Perkins emerged from his house pointing a gun at the truck driver, Marquette fired 18 bullets less than two seconds after the officers emerged from a concealed position and identified themselves as law enforcement, according to body camera footage. The appeals court decision, and the fate of the trial , hinges on Alabama's ' stand your ground ' law, which grants immunity from prosecution to anyone who uses deadly force as long as they reasonably believe they're in danger and are somewhere they're rightfully allowed to be. Alabama allows judges to determine if someone acted in self-defense before a case goes to trial. After a Morgan County judge denied Marquette immunity in April, the ex-officer's lawyers asked the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals to overturn the decision. The appeals court said the circuit judge's decision was a 'gross abuse of discretion' because the judge didn't give enough weight to Marquette's assertion that he feared for his life after Perkins pointed his gun at the officer before he was shot. If the appeals court rules against Marquette, he will go to trial in September. The shooting drew regular protests in the north Alabama city, and the three officers were fired after personnel hearings. Marquette is white. While the attorney general's brief didn't contest that Marquette feared for his life, he argued that witnesses in a pre-trial hearing failed to establish that Marquette was at Perkins' house on legitimate police duty, and therefore 'there remain open questions regarding whether he had a legal right' to be there. The brief, written by the Assistant Attorney General Kristi Wilkerson, pointed to conflicting testimony from the two officers who were with Marquette when he shot Perkins. One officer testified that the three officers were at Perkins' house to investigate a misdemeanor menacing charge since Perkins had previously pulled a gun on the tow truck driver in an attempt to repossess Perkins' truck earlier that night. The other officer testified that he was unaware of a menacing investigation, saying that he believed they were there to assist in 'keeping the peace.' Alabama law requires a court order for law enforcement to be involved in a vehicle repossession — which the officers didn't have. Testimony from a state agent who investigated the shooting, Jamie King, also conflicted with both officers' accounts of the moments leading up to the shooting. King said that while Marquette may have feared for his life, the three officers were not positioned in an effective way to keep the peace or to investigate menacing since they were intentionally out of Perkins' view until seconds before the shooting. Marquette's attorneys have argued that there is more than one way to conduct police operations. In light of the ambiguity, Marshall's office said deference should be given to the trial court's position, and that a jury 'alone is in the best position to determine the trustworthiness of testimony presented to it.' All parties in the case are prohibited from speaking to the media. ___ Riddle is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.
