However the "Fat Fool", who's real name Martrel Reeves, has been arrested yet again this time on DWI, narcotics distribution, and a few other miscellaneous charges. Arlington County Police have confirmed they arrested Reeves, 25, overnight in the area of I395 North at S. Joyce Street. He was also charged with speeding and driving on a revoked license.
What's really going on? DC's own Fat Trel who's real Martrel Reeves was recently arrested for providing fake money at a Maryland Casino sources are reporting. However the "Fat Fool" is claiming the money came from a DC ATM.
According to the police report ... Trel, who's signed to Rick's Maybach Music Group, was at a Maryland casino early Easter Sunday morning when he handed over nine fake $50 bills to a pit boss. Cops say the easy tell was matching serial numbers on 8 of the 9 bills.
Fat Trel insists he's innocent ... telling police he got the money from a 7-Eleven ATM in D.C.
The rapper was arrested and charged with possession of counterfeit currency ...which means the Feds will be on his ass even though the charge is considered a misdemeanor.
With the +Uber success comes +Lyft issues. The popular car service company is sitting in hot water again when a passenger caught on her cell phone as the driver refuses to let the passenger out of the vehicle.
Desiree Taylor's fifteen minute exploration as an unwilling, trapped passenger began on Wednesday night. According to Taylor, she and a friend arranged for a Lyft-line pickup in downtown D.C. But then they asked that the drop-off location be changed.
The cell phone footage captures her saying,
"I don't know where he's taking me," Desiree Taylor is heard saying, raising her voice. "Dude can you stop?"
and she goes on to tell local news that,
"I didn't know what was going to happen to me last night," she said quietly. "He didn't stop, he was speeding, the door was open the entire time."
"We were just re-routing him, so he would still make it to my destination, and drop my friend off along the way," she explained.
Then, the conversation turned into a dispute.
The driver, named 'Brian' said "no", and Taylor's friend got out. Taylor said she was pretty unhappy, especially since the trip had been pre-paid by her friend.
She told the driver, "We're going to write a bad review on you, and that's when he got upset."
Taylor said both she and 'Brian' got out of the car, and then climbed back in. "My door was open the entire time," she recalled. "He made a violent U-turn and went the opposite direction of my house."
The driver didn't say a word, Taylor said. She, on the other hand, began to loudly protest, and started to record the ordeal with her phone.
"You're not taking me to my destination, what are you doing?" she is heard shouting. "This door is still open, because I'm trying to get out, and he won't stop."
The ride, at least for Taylor, ended at Sixteenth and Longfellow, when the driver approached a stop sign, and she jumped out.
Taylor admits she kicked the Lyft car in frustration, and left.
When she got home, she said she called the company, and 9-1-1. A trio of MPD officers arrived about five minutes later. Taylor said they listened to her account, and watched the video. But it didn't appear that the driver's actions could be defined as criminal.
"They said because there was no threat, that he didn't threaten me, and there was no sign of any harm that was done to me, that's why they said they couldn't do anything," Taylor said.
She said a Lyft representative returned her call, and apologized, saying 'Brian' was no longer with the company.
Thursday night, Lyft spokesperson Alexandra LaManna issued this statement:
"We are extremely troubled to learn about this incident," it stated. "We have a strict zero-tolerance policy and any behavior threatening the safety of a Lysft community member is not tolerated. The driver's conduct was absolutely unacceptable, and his access to Lyft has been permanently removed."
Taylor said she plans to file a written complaint about the ride with MPD. She said she has also contacted an attorney.
"I do want to file charges," she said. " I want to press some sort of charge because of what I went through."
Sources are reporting that a Memphis rapper went to court today after being arrested Saturday during a drug bust. Bradley Rankin (not sure what his rap name is) was arrested during the bust at a home in Southeast Memphis.
Police said Rankin, who is a member of the group the Concrete Cartel, had 42 ecstasy pills and $5,000 in cash on him at the time of his arrest. Rankin had multiple warrants out for his arrest. He was wanted in Rutherford County for felony possession of marijuana, felony possession of a Schedule IV drug, possession of felony narcotic in a school zone, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of drug paraphernalia and alteration of serial number. Detectives saw Rankin trying to leave the location on Irene Boulevard, and they surrounded his vehicle. He also had several active warrants for drug and weapons charges in Rutherford County. He has been placed on $100,000 bond.
Rankin’s unknown rap group received some attention after rapper Shy Glizzy had his chain stolen in Memphis. Despite all the evidence provided and confessions of the crime via social media Police have not made any arrests in that incident.
ForeverMeah says... meanwhile, a new diss tack came out today against Glizzy from the alleged chain snatcher... I'm not giving this story any more shine. That's @iamakademiks job. #DCorNothing
What's really going on? First, Shy Glizzy got his chain snatched while in Memphis earlier this month. Then on Tuesday, the DC rapper put out a song where he addressed the incident, “Cut It,” and at one point, says he got the chain back – but according to the video below it was purchased back by Yo Gotti’s artist Blac Youngsta for a cool $10k! Geesh. Check out both videos of what allegedly transpired below:
I guess they wasn't feelin' Shy's song "Cut it" either...here's what the N-words posted after hearing the track:
Shy Glizzy addresses his chain being stolen on his "Cut It" freestyle this afternoon, where he claims that his chain fell off his neck and when it hit the ground "broke boys had a fucking scrimmage." Take a listen below:
The Catfish Reality Show Star has pleaded guilty in federal court to calling in threats against Metro stations, buses and trains in the nation's capital. Jerez Nehemiah Coleman pleaded guilty Friday to making threats involving explosive materials. Coleman, who is to be sentenced Feb. 26, faces up to 10 years in prison, but the plea, which is subject to court approval, calls for up to 27 months sources has reported. Back in May, I reported that he phoned in false bomb and hostage threats approximately 11 times. Each incident resulted in an emergency response and some led to disruptions in transit service.
Police used cell phone records, video surveillance and telephone audio to identify the suspect. In return for his guilty plea, the other charges will be dismissed. According to a statement he signed, Coleman placed more than 300 calls to 911 from December 2014 to May 2015. Coleman, also known as Jerez Nehemiah Stone-Coleman and "Kidd Cole," was once exposed on MTV's "Catfish" reality show about online scams.
DC Native Rapper, Shy Glizzy was apparently relieved of his chain in Memphis while performing at Dream Nightclub when shots rang out, according to the video footage. Sources are reporting that an Instagram user who goes by the name @dmuney_stacks, affiliate of controversial Memphis rapper BabyCEO, showcased Glizzy’s stolen chain on his account.

Glizzy's camp has yet to issue a statement on the matter. But he did post a snapshot of his icy chain prior to his show. “Never late,” he wrote in the caption of his post.
Wale on his GROWNMAN-ish and recently posted a lengthy message on Instagram apologizing to Black women for ever making them “feel like you need to ruin what God gave you.” In a meme posted on the rapper’s page, a woman who appears to have had major butt implants, stands with a chain wrapped around her derriere. The message on the post reads:
“Dear Black [sic] Women. This has to stop. This is not attractive. As Black men, we apologize for misleading you to believe this is the quintessential Black woman. Sorry for not cultivating protecting and loving your mind, soul, spirit, dreams, and ambition.”
He went on to caption the post:
“I can speak for most of us… I’m sorry if I ever made yall feel like you need to ruin what God gave you. Some girls say they don’t care what nobody thinks .. I find it difficult to believe that one would alter they body this significantly for them selves ..it must feel like sittin in a stack of phone books when they use the potty . ladies I promise we like yall for bein sexy . But we LOVE yall for being everything else.”
Well, THOTmodel Ms Miami who was the featured ass model for the IG post from Wale took to her own Instagram to clap back. You can go through her page here.

DC Fox 5 News reported that Metro Transit Police has arrested Jerez Nehemiah Stone-Coleman, a.k.a Kidd Cole, on charges of making terror threats against Metro stations, buses and trains.
Jerez was arrested Wednesday morning at his home in the 1600 block of Fort Davis Place, SE. Investigators say Stone-Coleman phoned in false bomb and hostage threats approximately 11 times. Each incident resulted in an emergency response and some led to disruptions in transit service. Police used cell phone records, video surveillance and telephone audio to identify the suspect. He is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday (5/28).
Police released the following details about some of the threats: On January 22, 2015, the caller stated that he and his friends were planning to take hostages on Metrobus 6149 and that they would kill the hostages if they were not paid a $15 million ransom. On February 22, 2015, MTPD received a bomb threat against Metrobus 7130 from a caller who advised that an individual wearing “all black clothing” and glasses had threatened to blow up the bus and was brandishing an AS-50 sniper rifle. The caller advised that the bus was near the Capitol. On May 12, 2015, the caller claimed that someone had approached his nephew and told him that he/she was planning to blow up the Metro station. In another 911 hoax call, a violent threat was conveyed against a Metrobus in the District of Columbia. The bus was stopped, evacuated and an innocent citizen who matched the lookout given by the caller was detained, questioned and frisked. On April 14, 2015, the caller told a 911 dispatcher that a bomb had been placed at the McPherson Square Metro station, and that there was a bomb at the White House. On May 5, 2015, the caller claimed that he had received information that certain individuals were planning to blow up a bus at the Potomac Avenue Metro station.
