Dame Dash Discusses Arrest Warrant Issued For Unpaid Child Support (VIDEO)

Reports began to circulate that an arrest warrant has been issued for Hip Hop businessman Dame Dash. After the 43-year-old Harlem native failed to show up to court, a New York judge ordered Dash to pay $340,000 in child support to his ex-wife Rachel Roy or face going to jail.

Dame is now responding to the arrest warrant. The co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records spoke with Boyce Watkins about the matter.

“I don’t know what’s really going on, but like I told you, they started cheating,” said Dash. “The dude Donnell Suares I guess got a warrant, because I’m in L.A. and I never got the dates or times to come back to the court. I never got served anything.”

Suares is the attorney representing the mother of Dash’s children. During his Watkins interview, Dame referred to the lawyer as “crooked” and a “piece of dog sh*t” that is attempting to separate his family for money.

This is not the first time Dame has expressed his frustration with Suares. In February, Dame called Suares  a “coward” and a “culture vulture” on Instagram. Suares issued a statement to AllHipHop.com at the time.

“I simply represent people who are seeking support for their children and are having difficulty collecting child support from financially delinquent parents,” Suares relayed to AllHipHop.com at the time. “It is my privilege to assist this brave woman in her fight to support her children. Despite these attacks, I will continue to help those in need of representation when they need it most.”

Trinidad James Is Prepping A Photography Book, ‘Trips To Trinidad’

Trinidad James has been taking things slow ever since he was dropped from Def Jam and claimed that he was broke two years after signing with them. He has decided to branch out from hip-hop and explore another venture. The former Def Jam signee has announced that he is releasing a photography book, Trips To Trinidad.

“This book is basically a coffee table piece showing you the culture of Trinidad from a raw and ghetto perspective,” the 27-year-old told XXL. “The book is all photography work and it took about two weeks to put together. I intend on never stopping when it comes to making books. Just wanna keep getting even more creative with them.”

The book bares the same name as his recent four track EP, which was released Apr. 18th.

Hip Hop Stars & Actors From “The Wire” Actors React To Riots In Baltimore

Portions of the city of Baltimore erupted in violence yesterday (April 27) as mostly high school students clashed with police in the streets. Vehicles were damaged, stores were looted, a CVS was set on fire, and several law enforcement officers were reportedly injured.

The violent outcry came after days of peaceful protests in the name of Freddie Gray. The 25-year-old man died of a spinal cord injury while in police custody. He sustained the injury after being taken into a police van. Apparently, his detention was because he looked at an officer and then ran away.

The violence also appears to be a reaction to years worth of mistreatment against the African-American community at the hands of the Baltimore Police Department. Residents have received millions of dollars from lawsuits against the BPD for excessive force including a jury awarding $39 million to Jeffrey Alston in 2004. Alston was paralyzed from the neck down after a ride in a police van.

Members of the Hip Hop community are now sharing their thoughts on the ordeal unfolding in Baltimore. Former actors from the The Wire (which was set in Baltimore) also addressed the situation. See what some stars had to say on Twitter and Instagram below.
