When asked a hypothetical question if Lil Bibby would call the police on his mother's murderer, the rapper stands by his street code and says that he would never snitch. He tells DJ Vlad that you can't do anything with police and even recalls a time when he seen a man masturbating while peeping through a woman's window and decided to take the law in his own hands. Instead of calling the police, Bibby says he and his friends beat the man to a bloody pulp.
Although, DJ Vlad threw a bunch of other scenarios where instinctively people would call the 911, he only budged when it came to his precious jewels for insurance purposes.
Azealia Banks recently went on Facebook Live to speak to her fans regarding rumors she was bleaching her skin.
The 25-year old Harlem, New York native got right to the point, admitting she was in the process of "skin lightening" and compared it to any other cosmetic procedure.
"I see that you guys really want to talk to me about this whole skin lightening thing and skin bleaching thing and why I did it, what does it mean? Blah, blah blah," Banks said. "I don't think it's really important to discuss the cultural significance of skin bleaching anymore. Because I think that as African American people or just as black people in this world, you assimilate. There are just things that you accept ... not out of necessity, but you know, things that kind of become norm because it's just happening all the time. I guess people look at the skin lightening thing or the skin bleaching thing as different, but I see it as another assimilation thing.
“What’s the difference between getting your nose done and changing your skin color?” the 25-year-old rapper continued. “What’s the difference between getting a hair weave and changing your skin color? Nobody was upset when I was wearing 30-inch weaves and tearing out my edges. You guys loved it, but what is the difference? I don’t understand what difference is, because there really isn’t a difference. To say that it negates anything that I’ve said about this current situations of blackness in America is stupid. What do body modifications have to do with someone’s intellect? The two don’t correlate. “

Only the people who were inside the green room when the Troy Ave shooting occurred actually know what happened. Since that is the case, there's been rampant unsubstantiated rumors about the May 25 incident at New York City's Irving Plaza..
Most of the inaccurate information has originated from wanna be internet sleuths
The facts as we know them at this point are that four people were shot backstage at the T.I. concert that night.
30-year old Ronald McPhatter was killed.
Troy Ave, 30, was shot in both legs, Christopher Vinson, 34, is recovering from a chest wound and 26-year old model, Maggie Carrie Heckstall, is healing up following surgery to repair damage from a gunshot to her knee.

Only Troy has been arrested at this point. Police are looking for another individual or individuals that may have shot him and McPhatter, before surveillance camera footage shows the BSB Records owner firing a weapon.
Lord Jamarrecently sat down withVladTVto offer his take on the situation.
"We see the video of (Troy) busting through the door popping off. The initial thing (I thought) was 'Whoa, you just did some crazy shit on camera.' And it appeared that he was being real reckless," Jamar said. "That just seemed real crazy, like why would he do that? As time goes on you start to hear more stories and things like that makes a lot more sense.
"What we're hearing now is he went from looking like the craziest man in the world to maybe being a fucking hero out here," the Brand Nubian rapper continued. "As far as the story I'm hearing, if that's the real story, that makes a lot more sense. If I just saw you shoot my man and you just shot me, and now I got ahold of the gun .. he just did some real nigga shit. He saw his man get hit, got shot in the leg, had the presence of mind to pick up the gun, calmly walk through the door and start popping? That's the type of shit that real motherfuckers is taught to do."
Check out the full interview above to hear Jamar explain why Troy might still face a tough legal situation, despite acting in self defense.

Troy Ave appeared in a New York courtroom Friday, July 1, with his attorney John Stella for a bail hearing.
A financial package was presented to the District Attorney, who is reviewing the documents.
"We'll hopefully get him out next week. We turned over a bunch of financial documents and the D.A. is considering it," Stella told ITSAGTV. "They need more time to go through their process. She has to go through some layers of supervisors to get approval."
A bigger problem for Troy's legal team is a lack of cooperation from witnesses who were backstage atT.I.'sIrving Plaza concert in New York City, when someone began shooting on the night of May 25.
As we previously reported, NYPD detectives believe the BSB Records boss was involved in a fight with another individual or individuals prior to surveillance footage that shows him emerging from the green room firing a gun.
The theory is that both Troy, real name Roland Collins, and his friend Ronald "BSB Banga" McPhatter were shot during the scuffle.

McPhatter died from a stomach wound and Troy suffered gunshots to both legs.
Two other individuals were also shot.
Thus far, only Troy has been arrested. Stella believes he knows the reason why.
"There's a difference between the ability to arrest someone, and hold them and charge them," Stella said. "The bottom line is that they are without a witness. There's a cultural apprehension to snitching on someone else. It's a long game here. And we're hopeful that when push comes to shove down the road, that we're going to be able to hear exactly what happened inside of that green room."
