42 Dugg Arrested

42 Dugg was arrested Thursday (May 5), in his hometown of Detroit, after returning from a trip to Memphis, Tennessee. 

According to The Detroit News, the CMG artist was arrested by federal agents after failing to surrender and serve a six-month prison sentence in West Virginia for illegally possessing a firearm. The sentencing is a result of a November 2020 incident where the 27-year-old allegedly fired a weapon inside of a gun range in Atlanta.

This is not the first time the “Thump Shit” rapper has gotten into trouble.

In 2011, 42 Dugg, born Dion Hayes, was convicted in his hometown for carjacking and firearms possessions. He was sentenced to three years probation after pleading guilty. However, that probation has since been revoked due to multiple violations, including being charged with obstruction of law enforcement and battery in Las Vegas, in addition to “multiple positive test results for use of controlled substances.”

These violations ultimately led to Hayes being sentenced to serve six months in West Virginia.

An arrest warrant was issued for Hayes after failing to turn himself in to law enforcement in April. After attending an NBA playoff game between the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzles on Tuesday, May 3, 42 Dugg was apprehended after returning to Detroit on a private jet.

Diddy To Remain In Custody; Trafficking Trial Set for May 2025 miixtapechiick

Disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs appeared in court today, where Judge Arun Subramanian scheduled his federal trial to begin on May 5, 2025, during a hearing held in New York on October 10. Combs is to remain in custody until the trial date.

Combs, escorted by U.S. Marshals, entered the courtroom with his ankles shackled, wearing a loose-fitting tan shirt and khaki pants. Several family members were present in the second row, according to CNN.

Diddy is being charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for the purpose of engaging in prostitution. Prosecutor Emily Johnson anticipates the case to span three weeks, though a potential superseding indictment may extend the trial’s duration, bringing additional charges or defendants into the fold.

Marc Agnifilo, the attorney representing Combs, stated that the defense expects their presentation to last approximately one week. Judge Subramanian also announced he will issue an order prohibiting both parties from making public statements regarding grand jury materials and other non-public evidence, following Combs’ attorneys filing a motion on Wednesday, Oct. 9, accusing the government of leaking a video showing Combs assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura.

Last week, Jaguar Wright appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, where she discussed Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent arrest. During the interview, she referred to both Diddy and JAY-Z as “monsters,” and claimed that the Roc Nation rapper and his wife, Beyoncé, were also responsible for harming hundreds of victims.

On Tuesday, October 8, Piers Morgan issued a public apology on YouTube and released an edited version of Wright’s interview that omitted her accusations. In his statement, Morgan explained:

“Jaguar, unexpectedly, made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé during that interview. As I said in the moment, they were not present to respond or defend themselves, but now they have. Their lawyers contacted us to say that those claims were ‘totally false’ and have no basis in fact, and we’ve therefore complied with a legal request to cut them from the original interview. Editing interviews is not something we do lightly at a show called Uncensored but like the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theater, there are legal limits on us, too. And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.”

Morgan continued, “The thing about platforms, the reality of the modern world is that pretty much everyone has a platform as long as they have something to say that other people want to hear. That’s why we invited [Wright] on to be interviewed. The people making these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine.”
