Lil Boosie's legal troubles just took a significant turn for the worse.

The Louisiana native, real name Torrence Hatch, was accused in a videotaped confession of hiring two men to kill rapper Chris "Nussie" Jackson for $15,000.

18-year old Michael "Marlo Mike" Louding told police that he and Michael “Ghost’’ Judson were hired by Boosie to carry out the hit on February 9, 2010 according to The Advocate.

Judson, who is now deceased allegedly told Louding that Boosie wanted Nussie "stamped out" because he had been disrespectful to an associate. Both men were present when Nussie was killed, but Louding was the one who fired the shots.

Boosie is said to have paid Judson the $15,000. Judson then gave $2000 to Louding.

Boosie is not charged in Jackson’s death because Louding had no direct contact with Hatch prior to the Jackson killing said District Attorney Hillar Moore III. 

But after Nussie was killed prosecutors say Louding and Boosie became acquaintances. He references Louding in the song "Lime Life."

"Ain't no love in my body, Marlo Mike up in da backseat begging for a body," Boosie rapped.

Prosecutors say Boosie later hired Louding to carry out the October 21, 2009 killing of Terry Boyd. He has been charged with first degree murder for that crime.

In total Louding is charged with murdering six people starting when he was just 16-years old. He can't be executed for killing Nussie or Boyd because of his age at the time, but prosecutors have not ruled yet on whether or not they will seek the death penalty for the 28-year old Boosie in the Boyd case.

Boosie was originally sent to prison in June 2009 for violating his probation on a previous gun and drug case. Since then he has been indicted for trying to smuggle codeine syrup into the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola. He's also been charged with one count of criminal conspiracy to take contraband to and from a penal institution, and another of inciting a felony.

Add all that on top of the murder charge and things aren't looking good for Boosie right now.

In response to all of the people criticizing her for her liberal use of the n-word, V-Nasty has released a video thumbing her nose at anybody that doesn't like it.

With fellow white rapper, Riff Raff of SODMG standing by her side, V-Nasty was unapologetic and took issue with her haters.

"On some real n*gga sh*t... how I really feel about these motherf*ckers talking about 'why is V-Nasty using the n-word?' Yall motherf*ckers aint ever walked in my shoes," she said. "Yall aint ever seen where I came from. Go to Oakland and see how sh*t be. Hella fake motherf*ckers always asking Kreayshawn 'why do you guys say n*gga?' Is it a f*cking race? Am I offending people? Am I saying it in a disrespectful type of way? Yall mad at that, you need to be mad at this album I'm about to drop on yall's ass then f*cking haters. Don't be trying to change my vocabulary because I'm on and I got out the hood."

V-Nasty even compared her situation to that of President Obama when talking about the perception that she is trying to act black.

"Motherf*ckers talking about 'she trying to act black.' How can you act a race? Is Obama trying to act white?" she asked.

Obviously Obama doesn't have to try to "act white" because he is half caucasian. V-Nasty is half white and chinese.

It's unclear how the hip hop community will react to V-Nasty's album. Reaction to "Gucci Gucci" rapper and White Girls Mob leader Kreayshawn has been mixed.

How do you feel about V-Nasty's defiant stance on her use of the n-word? Would you still support her music?

The war of words between Chris Brown, 50 Cent and radio host Laura Ingraham has caught the attention of America's number one hip hop critic, Bill O'Reilly.

Ingraham, who has been criticizing Chris Brown and The Today Show for allowing him to perform recently, was a guest on The O'Reilly Factor today. Much of her segment turned into a Chris Brown and 50 Cent bashing session.

You may remember 50 coming to Chris' defense several days ago after he saw Ingraham criticizing him on Fox.

"I just saw a clip on FOX news Hating on NBC for having chris brown on unbelievable. I'm never watching that again. He paid for his mistake assholes," 50 wrote on Twitter at the time.

Ingraham responded today by saying 50 Cent's lyrics are degrading to women.

"[Chris Brown] has a posse and lots of friends in the hip hop community," Ingraham said. "So 50 Cent came out and Fiddy - I just call him quarter. And he slams me, and that’s fine… it’s the same degrading lyrics and degrading words.”

That prompted O'Reilly to invite 50 to his show for a debate on the issue.

"Well I'd like to see them come on the program, Brown and Mr Fiddy or whoever he is, they're welcome anytime to come on," O'Reilly said.

Would you like to see 50 take O'Reilly up on his offer?

Young Chris has been really on his grind recently since signing with Division 1. Here he taps two of his Philadelphia homies, Meek Mill and Freeway to help him spit on this Cardiak produced track.

Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock stopped by Sway's new Shade 45 gig and blessed the show with it's 1st freestyle.

Kendrick's 'Section.80' in stores now. Jay Rock's 'Follow Me Home' drops July 26.

Similar to the Kanye West video that leaked for "Monster", this clip is obviously a rough copy, but it should satisfy Cole fans until the official drops.

Just when you thought you had seen it all along comes Mark Anthony Richardson Jr.

Richardson, 21, of Oklahomo City fooled two women into babysitting him by pretending to be autistic according to the The Oklahoman.

He wore a diaper, sucked a pacifier, drank baby formula and threw tantrums. He also had the women change his diaper seven times.

“You've got some issues. I understand that. But, at the same time, it's time for you to grow up,” District Judge Jerry Bass told him.

Richardson pleaded guilty to seven misdemeanor counts of outraging public decency for the seven times his diapers were changed.

In addition he was also found guilty of felony sexual battery for grabbing the breast of an 18-year old daughter of one of his babysitters.

He was sentenced to three years in prison, must register as a sex offender and fork over $195 to his last babysitter for not fully paying her.

While in Philadelphia recently promoting her hit song "Gucci Gucci" Kreayshawn got called out by Power99's Tazz Daddy for using the n-word.

It's obvious somebody over at Columbia Records has been trying to coach the Oakland native about how to handle this controversial situation, because she denies using the word despite there being evidence that proves otherwise.

Instead of owning up to it, Kreayshawn throws fellow White Girls Mob member V-Nasty under the bus as the one who uses the word.

"I don't say that... that's V-Nasty," she tells Tazz. "When we were in Oakland before everyone was staring at us, I was like 'I don't care if she says it.' But now that everyone is freaking out thinking I'm saying it I'm like 'come on Vanessa [V-Nasty] just stop."

That's a complete contradiction to what the rapper told Voice-Online last month.

"If I'm freestyling and I said it, that's just for that point in time. Any songs I'm writing I don't use it," she said at the time. "In Oakland, Asian people will call Mexicans that. A Mexican will call a black dude that. A white person will call an Asian that. Everyone calls each other that. I feel like that word is used in the low-income community more than anything. I can see if I was some rich crazy trick and I was just saying this because it's hip-hop. I was raised around this. Me and my sisters were all raised around this. People call me that. But personally I'm not flaunting it around.''

Kreayshawn also wrote this on twitter at around the same time: “People are actin so funny omg lol… I got 200k views… not 200k dollars…WTF YOU WANT FROM A N*GGA?! DMX VOICE.”

Check out the interview below with Taz to see him confront her about the subject.
