A German artist is accusing Rick Ross of pilfering two of his paintings.
According to TMZ, painter Ivan Beslic claims the alleged theft went down over the weekend while Ross was in Hunxe, Germany to perform at the Out4Fame Festival.
Beslic says theMMGboss was in his VIP tent admiring paintings of himself andSlick Rick. At some point a person in Ross' crew allegedly unhooked them and took them to their tour bus.
When the painter tried to get his merchandise back he was stopped by security.
A promotional video on Rick's Instagram shows someone taking a painting off of a wall. Beslic believes that backs up his story.
A German artist claims Rick Ross stole these paintings
The artist says he didn't go to the police because his friends run the festival and he didn't want to cause a scene, but he's prepared to have his lawyer handle matters if Ross doesn't cough up $3,300.
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — Dylann Roof and his appointed attorney have no plans to file charges against the inmate accused of attacking him Thursday morning as the accused church shooter went to the showers.
According to Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon, the assault happened shortly before 8 a.m. as Roof was being escorted to the showers in Housing Unit 1B. Cannon says the two detention center guards had moved away from Roof, one to take a break and another to hand toilet paper to another inmate.
That's when detention center officials say 25-year-old Dwayne Stafford, a fellow protective custody inmate, ran down a flight of stairs and through a door that should have been locked so he could attack Roof. Jail records show Stafford is being held in the jail on assault, drug, and robbery charges from January 2015.
Dwayne Stafford
The attack was broken up by one of the detention deputies assigned to the housing unit.
Stafford hit Roof in the face and back, leaving him with bruises on his face and back, the report adds. Roof was checked out by jail medical staff and returned to his cell.
Cannon said the incident has led detention center officials to look at policies and processes in place at the jail and make sure that complacency is not becoming an issue.
"The very least, we have complacency -- for police officers and detentions officers it is one of the biggest problems we face," Cannon said.
The sheriff said they are also looking into how Stafford made it through what should have been a locked door, which means looking at the electronic locking mechanism.
"Stafford should not have been able to get through that door," he said.
It's all part of a larger internal investigation stemming from the incident.
Cannon said Roof did not provoke the attack, that it was by surprise. He also could not shed any light on Stafford's motivation.

He did say Roof did not fight back.
"I don't think that there was a back and forth fight, so to speak. He was protecting himself from blows," Cannon said.

To say that ITSBIZKIT wears a ridiculous number of hats feels like an understatement. From running his own website to hosting podcasts and events to discovering new artists, the dude’s grind never stops. Proving that point is the release of “I Ain’t Got Time,” an aptly titled brand-new banger he curated that features Zoey Dollaz, Anoyd, Grafh, and DA The Future.
Despite the four rappers hailing from different parts of the East Coast, they complement each other perfectly here with charismatic flows and braggadocios bars that center on the chorus of, “I be outchea on my grind, ain’t got time for me to think/I ain’t got time to chase, unless I’m chasin’ to the bank.” The track is also tied together by producer BIRTHDAY, whose instrumental is just as rich with bass as it is hypnotizing and layered.
Miami’s Zoey Dollaz opens “I Ain’t Got Time” and catches your ear with a sing-song delivery before sending the mic to Connecticut’s Anoyd. He grits his teeth at his enemies throughout his rhymes before passing it off to Grafh, the Queens MC who flexes his shapeshifting flow and eats wack MCs. It may just be Amityville, N.Y.’s DA The Future who steals the show, though, as he closes the track with a hungry verse featuring clever references to Obama, Black Rob, Phife Dawg (RIP), and R. Kelly.

(CNN) An African-American woman who was killed after a seven-hour standoff with Baltimore County police was trying to live-stream the event, authorities said Tuesday.
During the standoff, police requested that Facebook deactivate her account on the service and on Instagram, which Facebook owns, Baltimore County police Chief Jim Johnson told reporters Tuesday.
The Facebook account, which allows live-streaming, was taken offline, but two 1-minute videos were still on her Instagram account as of Tuesday afternoon.
The videos were posted just before Korryn Shandawn Gaines, 23, was killed in an exchange of gunfire in which a 5-year-old boy was wounded in the arm.
In one video, a tactical officer appears in the doorway of an apartment. There is talking that is hard to discern but there is no apparent conversation between the officer and Gaines. The video has since been taken down.
In the other video, Gaines talks to the boy, who gives halting answers, which raises the possibility the boy might have been coached.
Gaines is heard asking the boy what the police are trying to do. He answers, "They're trying to kill us."
The boy is being treated for non-life threatening injuries at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where he is in good condition, police said.
Responding to reporters' questions about whether police had deactivated Gaines' social media accounts during the standoff, Johnson said law enforcement has no power to deactivate an account.
Facebook has a portal for law enforcement requests, though, and police did ask the social media giant to deactivate her account "to preserve the integrity of the negotiations." Facebook complied, he said.
Gaines was posting video of the operation as some of her followers urged her not to follow police orders, Johnson said.
Gaines had shotgun, police say
Around 9:20 Monday morning, three warrant service officers went to serve a man and a woman in the Randallstown area of Baltimore County, Maryland.
Upon arriving, the officers heard the voices of a man, a woman and a crying child inside the apartment.
They waited outside the door for about 10 minutes, Johnson said. Then, one officer obtained a key to the apartment.
The man, Kareem Courtney, 39, was wanted on an assault warrant while Gaines was wanted on a bench warrant for failing to appear in court to face traffic charges, police said.
Gaines had a Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun, which she pointed at police, Johnson said. Records show she bought the gun last year.
The officers called for a tactical team and waited.
Not long into the standoff, Courtney left the apartment with a 1-year-old child and was arrested.
That left Gaines and the 5-year-old in the home.
"Gaines was posting video of the operation as it unfolded," Johnson said.
Gaines vacillated between agitated and calm during the encounter, he said. Several times she pointed the shotgun at officers.
At around 4 p.m., after hours of standoff, the woman threatened officers verbally and with the weapon, according to the police account.
"If you don't leave, I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you," Johnson quoted Gaines as saying.
One police officer fired a shot and Gaines fired back with double-aught buckshot. Officers responded with three shots and the woman was struck.
Police didn't say why the first officer fired.
The 5-year-old boy was hit in the arm during the crossfire.
Child injured in yesterday's incident in Randallstown remains hospitalized in good condition.

It isn't clear if the boy was hit by a bullet or shrapnel, or who fired the shot that hit him, Johnson said. The boy's location during the gunfire is also unclear, he said.
Social media deactivated
Gaines' Facebook account was deactivated, but nothing was deleted, said Baltimore County department spokeswoman Elise Armacost, emphasizing that police wouldn't want video deleted because it could serve as evidence.
Authorities are working to obtain warrants for records of social media accounts belonging to Gaines, who "clearly had anti-government views," Armacost said.
As for whether police secured their own footage of the standoff, Johnson said no officer involved in the direct conflict was wearing a body camera. Asked later if police contemplated bringing body cameras to the scene during the hours-long standoff, Armacost said she would have to check and get back to reporters.
The officers will be placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure in officer-involved shootings, according to police. Their names will be released around Thursday morning, as dictated by the Baltimore County Police Department's contract with its union, the department said.
Wanted on misdemeanors
A search of Maryland court filings shows that police filed traffic and criminal charges separately against Gaines in relation to a March 11 traffic stop. An officer issued Gaines citations related to her vehicle registration, insurance and tags -- offenses that would have commanded at least $560 in fines -- and filed criminal charges stemming from the same traffic stop the next day, according to court records.
She was originally pulled over for driving without a license plate. In place of a tag, she had a cardboard sign with a handwritten message warning government officials not to compromise her right to travel, he said.
Gaines was accused of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, littering and failing to obey a reasonable and lawful order, all misdemeanors. A failure-to-appear warrant was filed when she did not show up to court July 13, court records show.
Police: Gaines filed assault charge
Courtney, the man in the apartment with Gaines, was wanted on an assault warrant filed by Gaines following a domestic violence incident in "the weeks prior" to Monday's standoff, Johnson said. Details were not immediately available, but Maryland court records show that Courtney was arrested for second-degree assault on June 28 and his case remains active.
The chief said it was unclear why he only took one child when he came out of the apartment Monday.
It was not clear if he was running or walking when he left, Armacost said. He was released from custody Monday, she said.
Police have yet to confirm the relationship of the two children to either suspect.
'Feisty' but 'respectful'
Anger against police violence remains high in the Baltimore area, which is still reeling from the death of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old Baltimore resident who died on April 19, 2015, after suffering a spinal injury while in police custody.
12pt;">Gaines' uncle Jerome Barnett, 44, told the Baltimore Sun that his niece "was feisty, but she was smart and she was respectful."
"My niece is a good person; I never knew her to be a rowdy person," Barnett told the paper.
CNN affiliate WBAL-TV reports the case is the county's third officer-involved shooting of 2016 and the first fatal officer-involved shooting.
Following the death of another African-American at the hands of police, anger spilled out on social media pages.
Under scrutiny were authorities' initial uncertainty over whether officers wore body cameras, why certain videos had disappeared from Gaines' social media accounts and why three officers had arrived at her home to arrest her for misdemeanors and traffic violations.
Many users pointed out instances in which white people, such as Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooter James Holmes, survived police encounters despite being heavily armed.
As details continued to emerge Tuesday, the outrage towards police was accompanied by a slew of tweets questioning the indignation. How, many people asked, can people rush to defend a woman who endangered her child by threatening police with a weapon when a child was in the home?

Not so much a Jack of all trades, but a "Jax of all trades". Scottie Jax, a self-taught writer, music producer, and video director, is a humbled one man band. Scott knew that music was his destiny after his 5th grade music teacher spoke highly of him to his principal after watching a Bach documentary. "He was like a statue. His eyes never left the TV screen".
If you are unfamiliar with Scottie Jax, his music has been referred to by others as different and somewhat weird in a way. Unlike a majority of producers who use instruments such as guitars, pianos, etc. Scott regularly uses sound effects in his melodies. He even stated in an interview that he once used a heartbeat as a kick and a trash can as a snare in one of his beats. Video editing is also one of his many talents. "I didn't really take it seriously at first.
My close friend Adot and I went to a club and our birthdays are a week apart. We didn't have anyone there to film us since it was only me and him. So we took turns shooting each other and that's how I got my start. -Scottie Jax". Many of you may not know of Scottie Jax, but many celebs are familiar with him. In 2007, Scottie and friends put together a mixtape titled "Network and Opportunity" which was hosted by Unkasa of the Harlem Diplomats.
Scottie later put out his first solo mixtape a couple of years later that had features from French Montana, Styles P, and more. Many people are also unaware he is the official producer of Max B's song "Won't Go Back", track 13 on Max B's 2009 "Quarantine" mixtape. If you're looking for music that has a boom bap feel with a new twist, give his music a try.

Back in February, Shorty and Kidd Kidd joined forces to release "I Luv Em," the debut single off their forthcoming joint project 'You're Welcome.' Today, the pair liberates the LP's latest leak with some help from NOLA rap legend Juvenile.
Azealia Banks has had her fill of online drama and decided enough is enough.
The 25-year old New York City native announced via a Facebook on Monday, August 1, that she is done with social media.
"I'm seriously tired of peoples feelings. I'm tired of seeing their overly sensitive reactions and responses to everything. I'm tired of having everything I say or do be monitored and I'm tired of being told how I should be behaving," Banks wrote. "I'm quitting Facebook, and any other form of social media that allows me to engage with people. My legacy can't live and die on the Internet."
In the past, Banks has feuded on Twitter with Jim Jones, T.I., Iggy Azalea, Skai Jackson, Perez Hilton, MNEK, Sarah Palin, Kendrick Lamar, Tiny, A$AP Rocky, Rita Ora, Lady Gaga, Baauer, Pharrell, Kreayshawn, Lil Kim, Troy Carter, Nicki Minaj, Funkmaster Flex, Angel Haze and more.
She was permanently banned from Twitter in May, following a homophobic and racist rant aimed atZayn Malik.
Banks is a really talented artist. Maybe now her musical efforts won't be overshadowed by her beefs.
Suge Knight caused a lot of mayhem when he was running Death Row Records. There are a lot of stories out there about people getting stomped out by the record mogul and his bloods gang henchmen back in the day.
Eminem and former bodyguard Big Naz
Eminem's former bodyguard Big Naz recalls Suge allegedly sending his goons to hurt the rapper at The Source Awards.
"There was a situation at the Source Awards, which was our first encounter with Suge Knight and his henchmen. They had it to where the artists couldn’t sit with the bodyguards," Naz said in an interview with the Murder Master Music Show. "I notice Em is in the middle of the isle and he is beefing with all these guys in red shirts. I noticed Em's face changing and he's turning like tomato red. There's a sea of red guys around him. I had to bust in the middle and snatch him up like, 'Hey man, what the hell is going on up in here?' This is what they said ‘Death Row motherfuckers! Suge Knight sent us to strong arm Eminem and it’s going down!’ I had to snatch him up. I had to call [Dr.] Dre and his bodyguards and tell them what was going on because they was backstage. Snatched Em up and took him backstage.”
Naz also recalled a situation in Hawaii when Knight sent a squad of thugs to mess up Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's "Break Up to Make Up" reunion show.
“The scariest moment is when we went to Hawaii. When the plane lands we are greeted by 20 Honolulu police officers and they told us that Death Row is here — they tried to hem [Snoop Dogg] up," Naz said. "Suge Knight had sent 50 guys to try to break up the show. When we got there, vacation mode was over, we were lockin’-n-loading, putting on bullet proof vests with their wives and girlfriends sitting next to them. We had to have Interscope pick up the tab to put Honolulu police with each bodyguard, because of how deep Suge was over there.”
