The search at A$AP Rocky's home turned up guns, multiple guns, but what's unclear ... did cops seize the gun that was used to shoot a man during an argument in Hollywood.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... detectives will run ballistic tests on the weapons ... to determine if Rocky was the triggerman.


We're also told cops will run background on the firearms to determine where they came from, who bought them, or if they'd been reported stolen.

As we reported, Rocky was arrested at a private LAX terminal last week when he and Rihanna returned from Barbados. Rocky was booked for assault with a deadly weapon stemming from the shooting in November in which cops say Rocky and an accomplice got into an argument in Hollywood that escalated to gunfire -- the alleged victim's hand was grazed.


TMZ broke the story ... Rocky and his legal team say they were shocked by the arrest and his alleged ties to the shooting. Rather than coordinate a voluntary surrender, cops simply nabbed him off the jet. Police say they needed the element of surprise so as not to tip A$AP off they would search his house for the weapon.


If one of the guns seized at Rocky's home turns out to be the weapon in question ... it could cement the case for prosecutors, who have yet to charge Rocky.

Kang Neileo releases his Latest Single, "Far Away" after his Debut Singles "Believe" and "Jazzy" set the streaming platforms afire

Kang Neileo has been writing and recording music since the age of 16. The United Music Mafia artist and Clearwater native - born on August 20th, 1987 is the second child born to Terri Fox and Charles Williams. Although his parents divorced when he was the age of 5, his stepfather, Derrick Floyd helped raise him and his siblings. At the age of 10, Kang grew up in the housing neighborhoods of Clearwater until his family moved to Tarpon Springs, Fl. 

12354009700?profile=originalAt the age of 15, Kang was kicked out of the house and forced to the streets to sell drugs. During all of this, that's where he discovered the talent of writing music and expressing himself through that. Shortly after, he was in a rap duo called "UBC" which stands for "Unborn Child." His rap partner, Zoe had a development deal on the table with Slip n Slide Records. Due to Zoe's incarceration, the deal never happened. 

In 2007, Kang Neileo had to take a backseat to music to focus on life. Even though times were rough, Kang remained diligent in his craft. His style is cut from a different cloth, so reinventing himself as a more harmonic and melodic recording artist was the key. His biggest musical influences are 2Pac, Michael Jackson, Camoflauge, Trick Daddy, and Lil Wayne. Now, his comeback is bigger than ever and has given us the singles, "Believe and Jazzy." The new single "Far Away" is about escaping your reality - getting away from all of the everyday struggles.

Kang Neileo wants his listeners to find peace of mind somewhere. If you need a mental vacation from life itself- then you should press play on this one. Kang Neileo continues to enhance his knowledge while building up a lot of contacts in the Hip-Hop scene. Newfound fans seem to like the uniqueness in him and his music. Be sure to connect with Kang on all social media and digital music platforms.

DaBaby's legal team says folks are wrong for jumping to conclusions over a recently surfaced video of the rapper shooting & killing a man at a Walmart ... they say it actually supports the rapper's defense.

Rolling Stone published surveillance footage Sunday from the 2018 fatal shooting in North Carolina & the article appeared to question DaBaby's self-defense narrative.

DaBaby's lawyers, Drew Findling & Marissa Goldberg, tell TMZ ... the video was reviewed by prosecutors back in 2018 & they concluded DaBaby acted in self-defense & therefore was not prosecuted for homicide.

We're told the video was even viewed by a Mecklenburg County judge in connection with a misdemeanor charge for not having the proper permits for his gun.


As for the self-defense part, DaBaby told cops the victim & another accomplice were following him around the Walmart store, & allegedly threatened him & flashed a gun ... causing him to feel the need to protect himself.

The rapper's attorney tells us, "Witnesses were interviewed & corroborated Mr. Kirk's statement. The entirety of the surveillance video was viewed & determined to corroborate Mr. Kirk's statement ... Mr. Kirk was protecting himself & his family at the time of the shooting."

Video After The Jump

NEW YORK - A Queens prostitute has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for the overdose deaths of four men, including an Italian chef at a popular restaurant.

Angelina Barini was arrested in August, 2019 on charges of conspiracy to distribute & possess with intent to distribute one or more substances containing fentanyl. Barini, 43, had pleaded guilty in August to charges that she distributed fentanyl to multiple men and the "date rape" drug GBL to Andrea Zemperoni.

She would use the drugs to incapacitate the men & then rob them.

The body of Zamperoni was found at a hostel in Queens after he didn't report for work as head chef at Cipriani Dolci. The Italian-born chef had worked in Cipriani's Grand Central Terminal location for a little more than a year. He previously worked at a Cipriani restaurant in London.

"In the corner of the room, law enforcement authorities noticed what appeared to be a garbage can with bed linens stuffed inside & what appeared to be a bare human foot sticking out of the bed linens," court papers said.

Barini claimed she didn't do it & that her pimp would not let her call the police and discussed whether to cut up the body.

After searching the room, court papers said authorities recovered "a purple liquid in a glass with powder at the top of the liquid & around the rim, glass pipes for smoking narcotics, bottles of bleach & bleach-covered towels, electronics, a power saw & an empty suitcase."

Prosecutors said Barini admitted to providing the chef drugs & later admitted that her pimp gave the chef "liquid ecstasy."

Barini is also accused of providing fatal overdoses of drugs to unidentified men in Queens.

The Italian-born chef had worked in Cipriani's Grand Central Terminal location for a little more than a year. He previously worked at a Cipriani restaurant in London.

"The defendant drugged & killed multiple people for a few quick dollars. She stole their personal belongings while they lay unconscious dying from the lethal drugs she gave them. The defendant’s substantial prison sentence is warranted by her shocking disregard for human life," stated United States Attorney Peace. "Hopefully, today’s sentence will bring some solace to the victims’ families & serve as a warning to future perpetrators that there are significant consequences to these horrific crimes."

Video After The Jump

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Newly released video from inside a school bus shows the moment a street racer crashed into its back wheel, causing the bus to flip on its side and hurling more than 20 out of their seats.

Students from George Sanchez Collaborative Community School are heard screaming and crying after a white Ford Mustang slammed into the passenger side of the bus in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Wednesday, Feb. 23.

"Someone help Lizzie," one student yells as the children scramble to exit the school bus.

The driver of the Mustang, identified as 49-year-old Mario Perez, was allegedly racing a blue Mustang at more than 100 miles per hour before the moment of impact.

Perez suffered a broken femur and was charged with two counts of great bodily harm by vehicle. Witnesses said the other vehicle sped away after the crash. There are no reports of that driver's arrest.

Of the 23 students on board, seven were taken to the hospital. Two suffered serious injuries to their legs and another had a fractured pelvis.

"As a parent, that would be my worst nightmare if your kid was in an accident on the bus," local resident Jennifer Esquerra said.

BOSTON (AP) — Harvard University is vowing to spend $100 million to research and atone for its extensive ties with slavery, the school’s president announced Tuesday, with plans to identify and support direct descendants of dozens of enslaved people who labored at the Ivy League campus.

President Lawrence Bacow announced the funding as Harvard released a new report detailing many ways the college benefited from slavery and perpetrated racial inequality.

The report, commissioned by Bacow, found that Harvard’s faculty, staff and leaders enslaved more than 70 Black and Native American people from the school’s founding in 1636 to 1783. For decades after, it added, scholars at Harvard continued to promote concepts that fueled ideas of white supremacy.

In a campus message, Bacow said many will find the report “disturbing and shocking,” and he acknowledged that the school “perpetuated practices that were profoundly immoral.”

“Consequently, I believe we bear a moral responsibility to do what we can to address the persistent corrosive effects of those historical practices on individuals, on Harvard, and on our society,” he wrote.

Alongside its findings, the 130-page report includes recommendations that Bacow endorsed. The university will create a new $100 million fund to carry out the work, which include building stronger relationships with historically Black colleges and expanding education in underserved areas.

It also called on Harvard to identify the direct descendants of enslaved people and engage them through dialogue and educational support.

“Through such efforts, these descendants can recover their histories, tell their stories, and pursue empowering knowledge,” the report said.

Harvard is among a growing number of U.S. universities working to acknowledge and reckon with their historical ties to slavery.

Harvard began its work 2016 when former President Drew Gilpin Faust acknowledged that the school was “directly complicit in America’s system of racial bondage” and created a committee to study the topic. Bacow commissioned the new report in 2019, building on that work.

“The Harvard that I have known, while far from perfect, has always tried to be better — to bring our lived experience ever closer to our high ideals,” Bacow wrote. “In releasing this report and committing ourselves to following through on its recommendations, we continue a long tradition of embracing the challenges before us.”
