Rapper J$tash Turns Himself In for Assaulting Model Girlfriend

YouTube

Brooklyn indie rapper J$tash has turned himself in to the NYPD to face serious charges that he allegedly attacked his model girlfriend, leaving her unconscious.


The 21-year-old rapper, whose real name is Justin Joseph, reportedly hit his girlfriend, Danielle Phaeton, in the face and body on Sept. 15 in their Bushwick, Brooklyn apartment, reports the NY Daily News. The two were arguing when the rapper hit Phaeton, also referred to as Danii Phae, giving her a black eye and injuring her head, among other injuries.


“A person I thought and believed I could trust, whom I gave my love/time/energy to brutally punched me in my face repeatedly with his fists while I became slowly unconscious covered in blood in his Brooklyn apartment bed,” Phaeton wrote on her Tumblr page, along with posting a photo of her black eye. The post has been removed but Bossip features the text as well as the image.


J$tash offered his side of the story on his Instagram page, stating, “Never would I promote domestic violence or be apart of such actions.” He referred to Phaeton’s abuse allegations as “slanderous accusations” and even revealed that he gave her over $30,000 and funded her business.


The ‘Nuthin’ rapper’s attorney, Alex Spiro, confirmed that he would be arraigned today (Oct. 15) or Thursday, but had no further comment on the incident.


Read J$tash’s version of events below.



I recently discovered that my ex-girlfriend Danielle Phaeton also known as Danii Phae went to the Internet to post slanderous accusations about me. Due to the fact that I broke up with her. I have given everything to Danii over the course of our relationship. Not only did I give her my love but I gave her a two luxurious homes to stay at, I also gave her over $30,000 and funded everything to do with her achieving her dreams and career aspirations, including setting up her business, buying all the materials for her brand, and also handling all the business operations from having my people run her emails & meetings. Never would I promote domestic violence or be apart of such actions. I have never asked her for anything and it hurts me to feel betrayed by this slander of my image to the public. People change when they see someone coming up in this world and I’m starting to realize that. All I can say at this moment is I love my fans and my Relax Rekords family. There are two sides to every story. BELIEVE THAT. Due To The Legal Process I Cant Disclose Anymore Information At This Time.

Tyga Releases Kanye West-Produced Banger '40 Mill'

Tyga 40 MillLast Kings Music

If Young Money is preventing Tyga from dropping his new album, this song should convince them that he’s ready to go. The disgruntled YMCMB artist released a grandiose trap banger called ’40 Mill,’ which was produced by Kanye West and Mike Dean.


Over bombastic horns and eerie synths, Tyga gives his mission statement for 2014.


“I don’t want to be famous / I just wanna be rich / 40 mill with some acres, makeup for my bitch / I don’t f— with these n—-s, stop pretending and s—,” he raps.


Elsewhere, the L.A. representative raps cautionary verses to his foes that he’s not someone you want to mess with.


“Flip a finger, middle finger, let them know that I’m dangerous / All my n—-s bangers, chubby-riding swingers / And my bitch will fight ya, Hilary Swank ya / Take your bitch, we ain’t even swingas / N—-, try your luck, think it’s all entertainment / You all in arraignment, snitchin’ to the plaintiff
 / Who, what, where? My n—-s stay nameless,” he spits.


This is clearly fight music and Tyga is ready to punch his way out of room full of greedy vultures (i.e., music executives).


“They love big bitches … but this broke s— has got to stop,” says Mark Wahlberg in a soundbite from the dark comedy ‘Pain & Gain,’ which appears on the song.


It looks like the ‘Rack City’ rapper is ready to stack his chips with or without Young Money.


Hear Tyga roar on this boisterous track.

Nike

We’ll probably never tire of the Nike Roshe Run and luckily Nike knows a good thing when they’ve got it. The sneaker is set to release in two new colorways and while they are for the ladies this time around, fellas should feel free to make them unisex if you please.


The Nike Roshe Run NM SP has a textile upper with a hyperfuse toebox for a bit of form that you don’t usually get from the flexible mesh model. Seen here in two colorways including black and navy they also feature branded suede heels that provide a pop of color.


The set is going to be available at retailers starting on Oct. 20 and you can cop them from Nike.com as well.

Bodega x Reebok Pump 25th Anniversary '1989′

Bodega

Immediately upon seeing the the nickname for the latest Reebok Pump 25th Anniversary silhouette the opening lines of Public Enemy’s ‘Fight The Power’ began blaring in my head but that’s aside the point. Bodega has put together a banger of a shoe that pays perfect homage to the sneaker’s retro roots.


This pair features a blend of suede, nubuck and leather and with all those textures at play it’s easy to get away with a subdued colorway. Maroon, grey, black and gum are all included in this fall friendly palette and the colorblocking really pushes the look over the edge.


These are set to release to Bodega on Nov. 15th and you can probably find them at other shops in the Reebok Certified Network shortly after. With a price tag of $240 they definitely aren’t cheap but worth every penny if you ask us.
