HOUSTON (FOX 26) — Rapper and entrepreneur Bun B and his wife Queenie survived a home invasion attempt after he ended up in a shootout with the masked robbery suspect.
Queenie Freeman tells police she heard the doorbell ring and answered it, expecting it to be a package delivery. Instead, the suspect forced his way into the home demanding money and valuables. Queenie immediately told the robber to go into the garage and take their vehicle.
Bun B, whose real name is Bernard Freeman, was upstairs when the robbery suspect entered the home. He grabbed his pistol and confronted the suspect in the garage.
The suspect and Bun B fired gunshots toward each other and the suspect fell out of the vehicle.
After the suspect ran down the street, Bun B held him at gunpoint and pulled off the suspect's mask.
Police say the suspect, identified as Demonte Alis Jackson, was able to break free from Bun B and ran away, ending up at Pearland Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the left shoulder. The suspect remains in the hospital.
The Houston Police Department says the suspect will be charged with two counts of aggravated robbery and burglary of a habitation.
An attorney for Bun B says Queenie is very upset because the suspect pointed his weapon at her head.
Born Abdalla Al Hammadi, but currently known as his stage name, WOLFY THA BEAST, is an Emirati citizen from Dubai who has been rapping in English and Arabic for 9 years. Following a near fatal car crash, he grew up with a strong love for hip hop and rap, giving him the only avenue allowed to express his social and emotional experience.
He explains, “I was outraged by how the accident unfolded and was disappointed by how people -- some who were very close to me, reacted to it. I saw their true colors, but I also found mine and rap was the only way I was going to paint the portrait.”
While gaining some underground recognition and exposure in the UAE and other GCC countries as one of the oldest artists, supporters grew to like his style of hip hop and considered him one of the rappers to lay the foundations in the area.
WOLFY THA BEAST has been quoted as a very unique artist that produces his own beats and writes his own lyrics which has further gained him prominent recognition and respect in the industry
In 2015 Wolfy the Beast released “Shake It Baby", featuring Memphis, TN rap legend, 8 Ball. The music video was successful in the middle east because Wolfy was the first Dubai Rapper to make an international music video with a famous US artist.
He has recently released his latest hit " Let Me Workout" a music video that was shot in Atlanta GA.

Report via TMZ -- Travis Scott straight-up jacked a portion of Three 6 Mafia's DJ Paul's track ... so claims DJ Paul in a new lawsuit.
Paul filed legal docs claiming Travis' "No Bystanders" has a hook that's almost identical to DJ Paul's track "Tear Da Club Up." According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Paul says the hook to his track says "Tear da club up, tear da club up" while Travis' track goes "Fuck da club up. Fuck da club up."
In docs, Paul claims the cadence and sound are virtually identical. What's more ... Paul says Travis used his exact hook from "Tear Da Club Up" for his Grammys performance earlier this year ... line by line.
"No Bystanders" is a part of Travis' massively successful "Astroworld" album ... which debuted No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart. It was also a fan favorite during the rapper's 55-city tour.
In a previous interview with us in June DJ Paul claimed young artists were going to kill hip-hop ... but it doesn't appear like the lawsuit is in direct correlation to that statement.
Paul's now suing to get Travis' track pulled and wants the profits from "No Bystanders" ... which he thinks is around $20 million. We've reached out to Travis' rep, so far no word back.
After releasing his brand new single “Love Riddim” last week singer/actor Rotimi pulled up to The Angie Martinez show to talk about the new record as well as possibly drop some hints as to if the new season of Power will be the final season.
Lil Nas X stopped by the studio to talk about his hit song "Old Town Road," beating Drake's streaming record and Dave East calling the son wack!
"I honestly have gotten this question so many, it's like, I have the No. 1 song in the country," the artist explained at the interview's 39:15 minute mark. "I do not give a fuck about what Dave East is saying."
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A former St. Louis County teaching assistant already accused of sexually abusing a 7-year-old boy at a local school is now accused of conspiring with his boyfriend to kill the boy and the child’s mother.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 36-year-old Deonte Taylor was charged Wednesday with two counts of conspiracy to commit murder and two counts of tampering with a witness in a felony prosecution. Sixty-six-year-old Michael Johnson faces the same charges.
Authorities say the sex crime happened three years ago but Taylor wasn’t charged until November with three counts of sodomy.
The new charges allege Johnson and Taylor agreed to pay someone to kill the boy and his mother to prevent them from testifying. Prosecutors say the men paid a confidential informant.
Both suspects are jailed without bail. Court documents don’t say whether they have attorneys.
DJ Vlad is perhaps the most prolific hip hop interviewer of all time. A lot of people have negative things to say about him but I'm a huge fan and I probably watch a few hours worth of his content every week without even trying. I got him in the studio to talk about how he got started, how he feels about the haters, how he keeps his machine running and much more. Enjoy!

(Pix 11) NEW YORK — The Yankees have suspended the use of Kate Smith's recording of "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch while they investigate an allegation of racism against the singer.
The New York Daily News reported Thursday there are conflicting claims about Smith's 1939 song "That's Why Darkies Were Born." The song originated in the 1931 Broadway revue "George White's Scandals," and was considered satire. It was recorded by Smith and also by Paul Robeson, who was black.
The team said in a statement: "The Yankees have been made aware of a recording that had been previously unknown to us and decided to immediately and carefully review this new information. The Yankees take social, racial and cultural insensitivities very seriously. And while no final conclusions have been made, we are erring on the side of sensitivity."
“The Yankees, who I think need to appeal to everybody, took the right stand,” Marty Appel, a Yankees historian who has written extensively about the organization, told PIX11 News.
According to Appel, there’s a silver lining to the controversy.
“They have an opportunity to create a new tradition just as the people of Paris have an opportunity to create a new Notre Dame in their image.”
Smith died in 1986. The Yankees have used her recording of "God Bless America" and sometimes live singers during the seventh inning since the 2001 terrorist attacks. They used an organ version Wednesday and Thursday.
