A Los Angeles rapper has filed a $10 million claim, alleging L.A. County deputies unjustifiably threatened to shoot him while he was sitting inside his car on New Year’s Eve.

Bodycam footage shows a deputy pointing a gun at Feezy Lebron (née Darral Scott),  as he was sitting inside his car at a Gardena parking lot.

Lebron said he was sitting in his car listening to music while awaiting a friend when LASD deputies pulled up & “began to harass” him.

Lebron’s attorney says the deputies opened Lebron’s door without warning, grabbed his arm & attempted to pull him out of the car without any explanation.

“If you take off in this car, I’m going to shoot you,” says the deputy in the video. “I’m going to make it super easy on you. You put this car in drive, you’re getting one right to the chest.”

“Without any justification, the deputy drew his firearm & pointed it directly at Claimant at point blank range, who had his hands up & was not moving,” the statement read. “Claimant was then forced out of his car, searched & tightly handcuffed, causing him physical injuries…He was detained in the back of a patrol vehicle for approximately 20-40 minutes while deputies searched his car without consent or lawful justification.”

Ultimately, Lebron was not arrested & was instead given a ticket for a missing license plate.

Lebron thought he would be “killed & would never see his children again,” said the statement. “[He] has been completely traumatized by the incident & sought emergency care several days later. He continues to suffer panic attacks, is unable to sleep & is afraid to drive.”

The L.A. Sheriff’s Department said the incident is under investigation.

Some rich person just coughed up an unprecedented amount of money to cop a rare Michael Jordan jersey -- unloading over $10 MILLION to acquire some of His Airness' former threads!!

The MJ jersey -- one that the Chicago Bulls legend wore during Game 1 of the 1998 NBA Finals -- went up for auction on Sept. 6 ... and TMZ Sports has learned the gavel officially came down on the sale on Wednesday for a staggering $10,091,000.

The number is shocking -- considering experts at Sotheby's, which hosted the auction, initially predicted it would sell for around $3 million.

The eight-figure price tag, according to Sotheby's, set multiple records -- including most ever for a basketball jersey at auction, most ever for any game-worn sports memorabilia, and most ever paid for an MJ item.

The jersey -- while expensive -- is pretty incredible ... Jordan wore it when he scored 33 points against the Utah Jazz. And, while MJ lost the contest in the uni, he and the Bulls went on to win the series, giving Jordan his sixth NBA championship.

No word yet on who the buyer is -- but something tells us they've got some deep pockets to put their new jersey in.

BOSTON (AP) — A former dean at a Boston high school known affectionately by students as “Rev” has been ordered by a federal judge to pay more than $10 million in damages to a former student he was convicted of trying to kill in a dispute over drug sales.

The default judgment Friday against former English High School Dean Shaun Harrison includes $7.5 million in damages for pain, suffering & emotional distress; $2.5 million in punitive damages & more than $80,000 for the victim’s medical bills.

Harrison was convicted in state court in 2018 of assault & other charges & sentenced to up to 26 years in prison.

Harrison, who had a background as a community organizer and youth minister, was dean of academics, a job that required keeping order and mentoring students.

But he was leading a double life. He had ties to the violent Latin Kings gang, recruited students to sell drugs for him & kept a gun at his apartment.

The victim, who had been recruited by Harrison to sell weed, was 17 when he was shot in the back of the head at point-blank range in Boston in March 2015.

The bullet barely missed the victim’s brain stem & carotid artery, but shattered his jaw. He underwent 2 surgeries, had his jaw wired shut for 9 months, remains paralyzed on half of his face, suffers from facial neuropathy, hearing loss & requires weights on his eyelids to help with opening & shutting his eyes. He continues to experience pain from the bullet that remains lodged in his head & developed an addiction to opioids prescribed for the pain.

It’s unclear whether the victim will ever get any money from Harrison.

BOLIVIA, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina man who won a $10 million lottery prize in 2017 has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in the 2020 fatal shooting of his girlfriend.

Michael Todd Hill, 54, of Leland, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced Friday in the killing of 23-year-old Keonna Graham of Navassa. Graham was reported missing on July 20, 2020. She was later found dead in a hotel with a gunshot wound to the back of the head.

In a news release from the 15th Prosecutorial District of North Carolina, prosecutors said surveillance footage from the hotel showed Hill was the only person in the room with Graham. They said Hill later confessed to shooting Graham after she had been texting with other men while at the hotel.

Hill won $10 million from a scratch-off ticket in August 2017.

A former U.S. Olympic speed skating champion has been indicted on charges that she fraudulently obtained $10 million in COVID-19 relief aid and used part of the money to help finance a film made by “Lord of the Rings” star Elijah Wood.

Federal prosecutors in Utah say Allison Baver, 41, had filed several applications in April 2020 for Paycheck Protection Program loans, claiming her entertainment company had as many as 430 employees and a monthly payroll of over $4 million.

But prosecutors say the company, Allison Baver Entertainment, had no employees and no monthly payroll. Nonetheless, Baver’s applications were approved and she received a payment of just under $10 million, according to court documents.

A message left with Baver, who lives in Taylorsville, Utah, wasn’t immediately returned. It wasn’t immediately clear whether she had retained an attorney.

Prosecutors say Baver used $150,000 of the money to help finance a film called “No Man of God,” that was produced by Wood’s production outfit, Company X. The film, about the relationship between serial killer Ted Bundy and an FBI special agent, was released earlier this year and starred Wood as the FBI agent.

Baver is listed in the film’s credits as an executive producer and, according to IMDB, had an uncredited role in the film.

A message left with a representative for Wood wasn’t immediately returned.

Baver won a bronze medal with the 3,000-meter U.S. women’s relay team short track speed skating event at the 2010 Winter Olympic games in Vancouver. She also competed in the 2002 and 2006 Winter Olympics.

In 2009, Baver suffered a major leg injury in a collision during a race that nearly ended her career. She has since served as a motivational speaker and worked as a model and actress as well as running her entertainment business which focuses on film and television production, according to her website.

South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh arranged for another man to kill him earlier this month so that his son could collect on a $10 million life insurance policy, authorities said Tuesday.

Murdaugh, 53, survived the Sept. 4 shooting, which happened months after the unsolved slayings of his wife and adult son. Police say that Murdaugh told 911 that he was shot in the head while changing a flat tire and that the shooting caused only a "superficial" wound.

His attorney, Richard Harpootlian, told NBC's "TODAY" show on Wednesday that his client was trying to get off opioids he was taking to get over the death of his son and wife when he became depressed. Believing his insurance policy had a suicide clause, Murdaugh enlisted a man to kill him during a "fake car breakdown," according to the attorney.

The scheme was an "attempt on his part to do something to protect his child," Harpootlian said.

In a written statement, Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, another attorney for Murdaugh, said it had become "clear Alex believed that ending his life was his only option. Today, he knows that’s not true."

"For the last 20 years, there have been many people feeding his addiction to opioids. During that time, these individuals took advantage of his addiction and his ability to pay substantial funds for illegal drugs," the statement said. "One of those individuals took advantage of his mental illness and agreed to take Alex's life, by shooting him in the head."

On Tuesday, Curtis Edward Smith, 61, was arrested on charges of assisted suicide, assault and battery of a high aggravated nature, pointing and presenting a firearm, insurance fraud, and conspiracy to commit insurance fraud, according to the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED).

Officials with the agency said that Smith, of Walterboro, was also arrested on charges of distribution of methamphetamine and possession of marijuana.

Smith was being held in jail Tuesday night, officials said. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney. Colleton County records show Murdaugh had been Smith’s lawyer in a 2013 speeding case, The Associated Press reported.

Additional charges were expected in the case, according to SLED.

Murdaugh allegedly gave Smith a gun and directed Smith to kill him, documents released by investigators Tuesday stated.

Murdaugh allegedly admitted to the law enforcement agency that the plan was for Smith to kill him, so that Murdaugh's surviving son could collect a life insurance policy worth approximately $10 million, according to the documents.

"Alex is totally cooperating," Harpootlian said Wednesday. "We called SLED; they didn’t call us."

He "didn’t want law enforcement to spend time on this fake crime instead of on Maggie and Paul."

Earlier this summer Margaret and Paul were found dead near dog kennels on the family's hunting property in Colleton County, west of Charleston. Their deaths have been classified by state investigators as a double homicide.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican government sued United States gun manufacturers and distributors Wednesday in U.S. federal court, arguing that their negligent & illegal commercial practices have unleashed tremendous bloodshed in Mexico.

The unusual lawsuit was filed in U.S. federal court in Boston. Among those being sued are some of the biggest names in guns, including: Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc.; Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, Inc.; Beretta U.S.A. Corp.; Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC, and Glock Inc. Another defendant is Interstate Arms, a Boston-area wholesaler that sells guns from all but one of the named manufacturers to dealers around the U.S.

The Mexican government argues that the companies know that their practices contribute to the trafficking of guns to Mexico & facilitate it. Mexico wants compensation for the havoc the guns have wrought in its country.

The Mexican government “brings this action to put an end to the massive damage that the Defendants cause by actively facilitating the unlawful trafficking of their guns to drug cartels & other criminals in Mexico,” the lawsuit said.

The government estimates that 70% of the weapons trafficked to Mexico come from the U.S. And that in 2019 alone, at least 17,000 homicides were linked to trafficked weapons.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the U.S. firearm industry’s trade association, said in a statement that it rejected Mexico’s allegations of negligence.

“These allegations are baseless. The Mexican government is responsible for the rampant crime & corruption within their own borders,” said Lawrence G. Keane, the group’s senior vice president and general counsel. The Mexican government is responsible for enforcing its laws, he said.

The group also took issue with Mexico’s figures for the number of guns recovered at crime scenes & traced back to the U.S. It said that traces were attempted on only a fraction of the recovered guns & only on the ones carrying a serial number, making them more likely to have originated in the U.S.

Alejandro Celorio, legal advisor for the ministry, told reporters Wednesday that the damage caused by the trafficked guns would be equal to 1.7% to 2% of Mexico’s gross domestic product. The government will seek at least $10 billion in compensation, he said. Mexico’s GDP last year was more than $1.2 trillion.

“We don’t do it to pressure the United States,” Celorio said. “We do it so there aren’t deaths in Mexico.”

2 Chainz's got more drama over his ATL joint, and this time it's beef with the keepers of Pablo Escobar's name ... who are suing the rapper over the restaurant's name.

Pablo Escobar's family company, Escobar Inc., is suing 2 Chainz for at least $10 million ... claiming his Escobar Restaurant and Tapas -- there are 2 of 'em in Atlanta -- violates federal law with its unauthorized commercial use of the Escobar name and likeness.

According to docs, obtained by TMZ, the company's pissed 2 Chainz slapped the family name across his famous ATL restaurants, their websites and social media -- not to mention the clothing sold with the restaurant name.

The company says it owns the trademark to Escobar's likeness and 2 Chainz is using the name to generate traffic and sales. The company says, for example, 2 Chainz has Escobar's likeness painted inside one of his joints. They also point to the menu featuring "Escobar Crab Cakes."

Escobar Inc. wants the 8-figure damages, minimum, plus an injunction blocking use of the name and likeness at the restaurants.

As we've reported, 2 Chainz's ATL joints have had plenty of unrelated drama recently, stemming from the coronavirus pandemic.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A celebrity branding company on Wednesday sued Ayesha Curry, the food and lifestyle personality and wife of NBA star Stephen Curry, seeking more than $10 million for breach of contract.

Flutie Entertainment said in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court that the five years it spent with Ayesha Curry brought “significant and unprecedented results.” Those include helping Curry land a Food Network show and a hosting role on ABC’s “Great American Baking Show,” as well as producing a bestselling cookbook and launching several successful food-based businesses.

But the suit alleges that in the 11 months since terminating the relationship she has denied the company its share of proceeds from the businesses, deliberately slowed down new enterprises, took away a top employee and “essentially gutted and devalued Flutie Entertainment’s interests.”

An email seeking comment from Curry’s attorney Michael Plonsker was not immediately returned.

Flutie Entertainment’s suit says Curry had a modest following for her social media and food blog and was known primarily as the wife of the star of the NBA champion Golden State Warriors when it began working with her. The Florida-based company, founded by Robert A. Flutie, was “clearly and undeniably instrumental in helping her achieve success.”

The suit asserts that when Curry terminated the relationship in May 2019, Flutie had done major work with her developing partnerships, sponsors and legal and financial framework for Homemade, in which Curry would offer home meal kits along with other kitchen and lifestyle products, and Yardie Girl, an entertainment production company. The lawsuit alleges Curry and her co-defendants have stalled on moving forward with the projects to deny Flutie its share in them.

The suit also names as defendants six Curry-affiliated companies and a former Flutie employee who handled Curry’s business for the company but now works directly with Curry.

It seeks damages of at least $10 million and a ruling that guarantees Flutie’s stake in Homemade and Yardie Girl.

Curry, a 31-year-old native of Canada, was an actress when she married Stephen Curry in 2011, and began doing cooking demonstrations on YouTube in 2014. The couple has three kids.

Looks like Tyga has put his beef with Birdman, Young Money and Cash Money Records behind him because he just dropped a $10 million lawsuit against them, according to The Blast.

The 29-year old rapper, born Micheal Ray Stevenson, originally filed a breach of contract suit in 2018, alleging he wasn't paid royalties for the albums “Careless World” and “Hotel California.” 

Cash Money was the parent company of Young Money during Tyga's time there. The "Rack City" hit maker left YMCMB in 2016.

Birdman had previously denied owing Tyga any money, saying it was the other way around. Insisting Tyga was paid advances that were never recouped.

Nevertheless, The Blast reports that Tyga recently filed court paperwork voluntarily dismissing all claims against Cash Money and Young Money in the lawsuit.

Kanye West is looking to recoup money lost when he had to cancel dates on his 2016 Saint Pablo Tour.

The rapper's company, Very Good Touring, has filed a $9.8 million lawsuit against Lloyds of London for failing to cover the funds lost on the crossed out dates.

TMZ reports that VTG claims in court documents that it had an insurance policy with Lloyds to cover cancellation or non-appearance fees.

But Lloyds is balking at paying. They blame West's alleged marijuana use for the cancelled dates.

Very Good Touring says Lloyds has no proof to back up their accusation and is just looking for "any ostensible excuse no matter how fanciful" to deny payment on the policy.

West had to cancel tour dates after having a mental breakdown in November. He spent eight days at UCLA Medical Center.

PARIS (AP) — French police arrested at least 16 people Monday in connection with the October theft of more than $10 million worth of jewelry from Kim Kardashian West, finding weapons and a large amount of cash during multiple raids.

Paris police officials said the arrests took place starting around 6 a.m. in different locations in the Paris region and the south of France. The suspects — aged from 23 to 72 — were already known for prior robberies and other crimes said, according to one of the officials. Multiple firearms, including an automatic pistol, and 140,000 euros ($147,500) in cash were found during the raids, the officials said.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to speak publicly about the continuing investigation.

The suspects can be held for up to 96 hours before police must either charge them or let them go.

Jean Veil, the French lawyer for Kardashian West, said the news of arrests is "a great satisfaction."

"These arrests are a nice surprise because we might be able to find the jewels," he told the French magazine L'Express Monday.

Veil said his client could be interviewed again by investigators and might have to face the suspects.

On Oct. 3, robbers forced their way into the private Paris residence where Kardashian West was staying, tied her up, held her at gunpoint and then locked her in a bathroom before making off with her jewelry. The reality TV star was in Paris attending fashion week shows.

Media reports said police tracked down the suspects through DNA evidence found at the residence. One official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said many were already known for robbery and other crimes.

Earlier this month, the starlet broke her silence on the robbery in a teaser for the family's reality show, telling two of her sisters her thoughts at the time: "They're going to shoot me in the back. There's no way out."

Police said the thieves stole a jewelry box containing valuables worth 6 million euros ($6.7 million) as well as a ring worth 4 million euros ($4.5 million).

Paris police and prosecutor's office previously said five people directly took part in the robbery, including two who forced their way into the apartment.

Police analyzed footage from surveillance cameras to try to identify the assailants, who wore fake police emblems on their jackets.

At the time, a spokeswoman for Kardashian West said she was badly shaken but physically unharmed. The robbery raised new concerns about security in the French capital after a string of deadly extremist attacks.

Kardashian West has the habit of showing her jewels and whereabouts in her social media, including days before the robbery when she posted pictures of herself attending fashion week shows.

Paris has been a special place for Kardashian West and her husband, who spent the weekend there before marrying in Florence in May 2014.

Nicole Murphy (left) was conned out of $10 million by former friend Troy Stratos (right)

Video After The Jump

When Eddie Murphy and Nicole Murphy were divorced in 2006, she was awarded a $15 million settlement.

Nicole and Eddie Murphy were married for 12 years. They have 5 children

$10 million of it is now gone after Nicole was conned by a former friend she had known for 34 years.

According to the New York Post, Troy Stratos told Nicole that he would invest the money overseas where it would earn a high rate of return.

A federal lawsuit filed in Sacramento alleged that Stratos kept all of the funds and covered Nicole's expenses with her own money.

A majority of the funds were used to finance Stratos' lavish lifestyle.

A trial was set to begin on September 12, but Stratos suddenly decided to plead guilty this week.

It was initially thought that Stratos had stolen $7-8 million from Nicole. Unfortunately for her, it turned out to be much more.

on Wednesday, August 31, he pleaded guilty to 11 counts of wire and mail fraud, two counts of money laundering and one count of obstruction of justice.

The 50-year old is already serving prison time for wire fraud and money laundering after being found guilty in May 2015, of defrauding a Philadelphia investment group out of $11.25 million.

Nicole, 48, told TMZ that she hoped to get all of the money back, if not more. She added that if that wasn't possible she would still be OK financially.

Stratos could end up spending the rest of his life in prison. If convicted of wire and mail fraud he could be sentenced up to 20 years in prison for each crime.

Money laundering and obstruction of justice carry a maximum penalty of 10 years each.

The Game might have just dug himself a huge financial hole.

Priscilla Rainey, a former contestant on the reality show "She's Got Game," filed a $10 million lawsuit in Illinois federal court against the rapper last May. She alleges that while filming the VH1 series Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, was drunk and on drugs when he got "out of control."

TMZ reports that Taylor allegedly assaulted Rainey several times by "forcefully reaching his hand inside her dress to rub her bare vagina and buttocks."

Taylor never bothered to respond to the suit, so the judge in the case handed down a default judgement on Monday, February 1.

The next step for Rainey will be to convince the judge that she she suffered the physical, psychological and emotional damages she claims are a result of the assault and should be awarded the full $10 million.

Rainey's attorney, Adam Horowitz, told BOSSIP that his "client was damaged by the sexual assault. She’s been in therapy. Now, she’s anxious to tell her story.”

The next court date is scheduled for later this month. We'll find out at that time if Taylor and his lawyers are going to attempt to fight the judgement.

**UPDATE** February 4

The Game has responded to the default judgement against him by launching a vicious attack on Priscilla Rainey via Instagram.

"Let's get one thing very CLEAR: that thirsty Gatorade mascot of a transvestite WILL NEVER see $10,000,000 or anything close 2 a penny of my money. People think because they read a headline in BOLD PRINT it's true," he captioned a photo.

Don't be fooled by these accusations or the dollar amount in the headlines cause I put that on my favorite aunties poodle this broad ain't gettin shit ! Every girl on that show will tell u I never touched this chick or ever desired to be anywhere near her," he continued. "She got kicked off the show & as a result she filed this lame lawsuit which was probably her intentions before the show was ever even started. She was begging for my attention the entire time we shot the show & was given the ultimate Major League Baseball CURVE ball so that upset her & made her lil wee wee hard so she did what all chicks like her do when life gives them no other options....

Tell em I sent u & it's on the house u dusty bitch you!"

Rainey had a few more things to say herself. After reading what Game wrote, she posted what she claims is an apology the rapper sent to her after the alleged sexual assault.

G.O.O.D. Music's CEO debuted the album at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, February 11. It was streamed live on TIDAL and in a number of cinemas worldwide.

Fans anxious to buy a copy are expecting it to be released today.

Stream rips of songs from the debut have already started to hit the internet. If by some miracle Shkreli actually acquires the exclusive rights to "The Life of Pablo" he would indeed have the only CDQ version of it, but not the only copy.

Frankly, I don't see West seriously entertaining this offer even if it's legit. His ego won't allow him to. He makes music so it can be consumed and enjoyed by the masses because that's what he loves to do.

Selling an album that he's worked incredibly hard on to Shkreli, who has been charged with securities fraud conspiracy, securities fraud and wire fraud conspiracy, and could spend up to 20 years in prison if convicted, seems incredibly far fetched.
