Tsu Surf Officially Arrested by U.S. Marshals Service New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force On RICO Charges
Two weeks ago, we reported that Tsu Surf was arrested on Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) charges.
Though it was later reported that he was not arrested, the popular battle rapper, born Rahjon Cox, was made aware of the charges against him and was reportedly blinded by it all. Tsu Surf spoke with Battle Rap Blogger, Vada Fly, and confirmed that the charges were real.
On Thursday (Oct. 13), Fox 5 News reporter Lisa Evers confirmed that Tsu Surf was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force at home in New Jersey. According the Evers, the rapper tried to leave with a woman by the back door, however, the house was surrounded. Surf and the women went back inside the house and did not come out for over an hour.
After talking to crisis negotiators, Tsu Surf peacefully surrendered and was arrested around 1:30 p.m.
He has been taken into custody via Essex County Correctional in Newark, N.J. and is expected to appear in front of a judge in federal court in Newark, N.J. on Friday, Oct. 14.
Tsu Surf’s mother addressed her son’s arrest on her Instagram account.
“This is my child and know that will forever be his support and when the smoke clears will be right here. Thank you for the calls, text, and dm’s,” she wrote. “The fight begins. Remember he has a daughter and a mother. This is where we see who the real from the fakes are. Know one thing my son is cut from my cloth and he gets it honest don’t m########### out of a bag please. So many have contacted me and showed me that they are there for us and I appreciate you.”
Last week, Tsu Surf tweeted from his burner account and addressed his impending arrest. “I went out on top. Thats all that matters. Disparu.”
I prolly never step on a stage again….

Drake Responds To Kendrick Lamar With New Diss ‘FAMILY MATTERS’
It’s been an entertaining two weeks as Drake and Kendrick Lamar have been sparring in a lyrical battle.
Since Kendrick’s diss towards Drake on Metro Boomin and Future‘s We Don’t Trust You track, “Like That,” Drake returned fire with two diss tracks titled, “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle,” Kendrick Lamar then returned with two tracks towards Drake titled, “Euphoria” and “6:16 in LA.”
The two rappers aren’t done yet, as Drake has just released his response to Kendrick titled “Family Matters.” On the diss track, things get personal as Drake brings up Kendrick’s wife, Whitney Alford.
“Say you hate the girls I fuck but what you really mean / I been with Black and white and everything in between / You the Black messiah wifing up a mixed queen / And hit vanilla cream to help out with your self-esteem.”
Drake also implies that Kendrick’s kids aren’t his, but are actually Dave Free’s, Kendrick Lamar’s longtime creative partner.
“Why you never hold your son and tell him say cheese / We could have left the kids out of this don’t blame me,” he raps.
“Our sons should go play at the park / Two light-skinned kids, that shit would be cute / Unless you don’t want to be seen with anyone that’s Blacker than you”

Spiro, in a statement to Page Six on Tuesday (April 23), dismissed the lawsuit as an opportunistic money grab and characterized it as an attempt to tarnish his client’s reputation.
“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” he said. “We will deal with this in court.”
The suit details an incident where Garcia allegedly found himself trapped in a moving SUV with Megan whileshe engaged in sexual activity with another woman during their time in Ibiza, Spain.
According to court documents, “The following day, STALLION inquired whether PLAINTIFF was in the SUV the previous night. PLAINTIFF confirmed that he was in the SUV. Subsequently, STALLION instructed, ‘Don’t ever discuss what you saw.’ STALLION berated and directed her fat-shaming comments towards PLAINTIFF such as ‘Fat Bitch,’ ‘Spit your food out,’ and that ‘You don’t need to be eating.’”
Garcia is seeking compensation of over six figures, Garcia’s lawsuit requests unpaid wages, overtime pay, and other benefits as per California labor laws, along with statutory penalties and punitive damages.
