If you haven’t heard the name, Lil Meech, you’ve been missing out on 50Cents’ mafia drama series, BMF on Starz TV. Unfortunately, the star of the series was reportedly arrested in March, on two counts of first-degree grand theft and a separate count of organized fraud. This, of course, in real LIFE. 

It’s alleged that the 220-year-old actor’ rapper who was actually hand picked by 50, for the role of Big Meech, stole a $250,000 Richard Mille watch and got caught. 

Police reports state that Meech walked into Miami’s Haimov Jewelers back in February and put a down payment on the Richard Mille using his $80,000 platinum Rolex, but he allegedly failed to pay the remaining $200,000 balance and never returned the watch.

He’s also accused of attempting to trade off the watch for a different Richard Mille piece at a different store. He was reportedly released on bond on the same day he was arrested and since that time, he hasn’t;t reacted publicly to the charges. 

Season 2 of ‘BMF’ is set to begin filming in Atlanta soon.

Sean Paul is now speaking up, telling fans via social media why he chose to wear the T-shirts that he did.

On Tuesday, the ‘Gimme de Light’ singer explained that he feels the real creators of the music we all enjoy, often receive the least monetary benefit. He used the platform that he had at the time – the tour stage, to showcase his discontent with the continued injustice experienced by artistes.

Among the artistes showcased by Sean Paul were Jimmy Cliff, Ray Charles and Bob Marley.

One ‘Drink Champs’ appearance has landed internationally acclaimed dancehall artiste, Beenie Man, in hot water. The ‘Gyal Dem Sugar’ singer appeared on the popular US platform recently, after returning to the US after many years, having been previously barred from entry.

”I love Trinidad. I love Trinidad but dog don’t eat doubles. I don’t eat anything that dog don’t eat,” he told hosts Nore and DJ EFN. The duo had asked the entertainer whether he ate the Trinidad and Tobago delicacy. He went on to say that while the popular street food is nice, and he’s had it a couple times, even outlining the ‘triples’ version, he said he would not eat it because if it’s thrown to the dogs, they refuse to eat it.

On popular radio station, Vibe CT 105FM, hosts Ken Simmons and George Gonzales debated the matter, George calling for DJs to desist from playing the artiste’s music until a proper apology is received. Many callers echoed his sentiments.
