OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. — (WESH) The Osceola County Sheriff's Office announced Monday that dozens of arrests have been made in "Operation Bad Apple."
The operation, which was conducted alongside the United States Marshals, took place from March 28 to June 10 of this year.
"The operation had a primary focus, but not limited to; sexual offenders and sexual predators who have prior state or federal convictions for production, transmission, and/or possession of child pornography/sexual performance of a child; transmission of harmful material to a minor; or video voyeurism," the sheriff's office wrote in a release.
A total of 56 people were arrested and lodged in the Osceola County Jail.
The Game felt some type of way after he was excluded from the Super Bowl halftime show in his city ... the L.A. rapper saying he was "hurt" Dr. Dre didn't hit him up to perform.
Super Bowl LVI was basically L.A.-themed -- going down at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA -- with the Rams repping the NFC. Most Los Angeles of all, the halftime performers ... including L.A. rappers Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Kendrick Lamar.
But, The Game -- an L.A. native who always reps for the city -- was not included in the lineup ... something the 46-year-old rapper said wasn't right while appearing on the "I Am Athlete" podcast.
"The f****** Rams was in the Super Bowl, bro!" The Game said, "L.A., L.A., L.A. all around the Super Bowl and I don't get the call. I was hurt by that.”
"Dre should've called and said why. I would've understand that 'cause I talk to Dre. I talk to Dre often and I just know if I was Dre and he was Game, then he woulda been up there. That's just it. It's L.A. and I am L.A. I'm in the streets."
What made Game even more upset was the fact that Eminem and 50 Cent got to perform ... when they're not even born and raised L.A. rappers.
"Snoop is icon. Dre is icon. Em is an icon, but Em is not from L.A. 50 is not from L.A," Game said.
"I’m not taking away from the fact that they were on the Super Bowl, but L.A. n***** wouldn’t have been in the Detroit Super Bowl or New York Super Bowl. It just wouldn’t have happened."
Even though Game's feelings were hurt, he gets why he didn't get the call -- he's "not a safe artist."
"You don't know what Game gon' do when he get up there," Game said, "They went with the safe artists."
But, Game is letting bygones be bygones -- saying at the end of the day, it was a win for L.A. and a win for the culture.
“Raining Bricks” is the first single from forthcoming debut project R.E.A.L (Really Everybody Ain’t Loyal) (which will drop later this month), the title as Borleone is “self-explanatory, over the last few years, I have had the opportunity to see who is really down for me and who is not.” Originally encouraged by his brother to pursue emceeing, Maddd Borleone didn’t take it seriously until the last few years. “I’m very anti-social, so I just make tracks in isolation but one time I ended up in the studio with Benny The Butcher and BSF and it gave me a boost of confidence seeing these guys from my hood taking it so large.”
Expect more tracks with Maddd Corleone and Rick Hyde to surface in the near future.
“In the last few years after I got home, I lost my brother, caught COVID before the vaccines were ready and was in a car crash. They thought I might not walk again, I just started walking without a cane. I’m not supposed to be here.” Buffalo emcee Maddd Borleone is grateful for every day because he knows very well at any moment it can be taken from him.
Nobody can argue that AR-AB isn't one the realest rappers to ever touch a mic. Every verse from the Philadelphia native and OBH Records CEO, is filled with pain and aguish that paint a picture that paint a vivid picture of the environment he grew up in.

From the first time I heard AZ spit on Nas' 1994 classic song "Life's a Bitch," I knew he was something special. Now here we are 29 years later, 8 solo albums deep and 1 group album with The Firm, Sosa has stood the test of time and has earned the right to be called a legend.
With that in mind, On Q Visuals continues his "Feed the Culture" series by blessing hip hop fans with a dope lyric video for "Time to Answer" off of AZ's latest album, "Doe or Die II."

Two people have been arrested in the shooting death of rapper Slim 400, months after he was gunned down while sitting in a driveway ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources say they arrested a man and a woman Thursday in connection to the December murder, we don't yet know their identities or if they knew Slim 400 personally.
You'll remember, the entire thing was captured on a Ring cam in Inglewood ... you see a suspect walk up a driveway before confronting Slim and firing a series of shots. Slim attempts to go after the suspect, but collapses.
Shortly after the attack, he was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
A Texas man who raps about robbing ATMs lived out his own lyrics when he was busted for stealing from a cash machine in Tennessee earlier this week.
Ladesion Riley, 30, was 1 of 4 people charged for allegedly holding up an ATM technician at a Bank of America in Nashville as he serviced the machine on Monday.
Riley, whose rap name is “213 Jugg god,” released a song on YouTube called “Make It Home” last month in which he brags about robbing ATMs.
“Jugging” is slang for following unsuspecting victims to rob them.
The lyrics describe robbing ATMs in different states, having thousands of dollars in the car, and praying that they make it home without getting stopped by police.
The other suspects are Darius Dugas, 27, Sashondre Dugas, 32, and Christopher Alton, 27. All 4 alleged thieves hail from Houston.
2 members of the group approached the technician from behind around 10:40 a.m. & “told him to not do anything stupid & hand over the money.” They took the cash and fled in vehicles.
One of the getaway cars, a Hyundai Elantra, had been rented through Hertz. Using aviation units, police tracked the Hyundai to a Motel 6 in Dickson, Tenn.
Police said they then saw Riley, Sashondre Dugas & Darius Dugas drive off in the vehicle after checking out of the motel.
Police moved in & arrested all 4 with help from the FBI.
Cash was recovered during the arrest.
According to jail records shared on social media by the police union, Riley was out on bond at the time of the robbery for a pending evading arrest in a motor vehicle charge.
Riley & the 3 others are being charged federally. The FBI is looking into whether the group committed robberies in other parts of the country.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan police officer who killed Patrick Lyoya, a Black man who was on the ground when he was shot in the back of the head, was charged Thursday with second-degree murder.
Prosecutor Chris Becker announced charges Thursday against Grand Rapids Officer Christopher Schurr, weeks after Lyoya was killed following a chaotic traffic stop on April 4.
The 26-year-old Lyoya was on the ground when he was killed. The shooting was recorded on video by a bystander.
“The death was not justified or excused ... by self defense,” Becker said, referring to an element of second-degree murder.
Schurr, who is white, told Lyoya that he stopped his car because the license plate didn’t match the vehicle. Roughly a minute into the stop, Lyoya began to run after he was asked to produce a driver’s license.
Schurr caught him quickly, and the two struggled across a front lawn. The officer demanded that Lyoya “let go” of Schurr’s Taser before he fired the fatal shot.
Becker said he consulted experts from outside Michigan about the use of force in the case.
The Grand Rapids police chief released video from four different sources on April 13. Attorneys for Lyoya’s family have called the death an “execution.”
PHOENIX (AP) — A Phoenix suburb is reviewing how it handles water rescues as video of 3 police officers standing nearby as a homeless man drowns sparks outcry.
The Tempe Police Department says the officers are on paid administrative leave after last month’s drowning in a city lake.
An uproar arose after Tempe police on Friday released edited footage from officers’ body cameras as well as a transcript of the May 28 incident.
The video shows Sean Bickings, 34, climb over a 4-foot fence along Tempe Town Lake. An officer tells him swimming is not permitted. Bickings then goes into the water & starts swimming. Another officer tells police to watch him while he goes to get a boat.
The video ends there. But the transcript shows two officers repeatedly tell Bickings to swim to a pylon & “hold on.” Bickings continuously says “I can’t” & pleads for help.
At one point, one of the officers says: “I’m not jumping in after you.”
The Tempe Officers Association said the public needs to understand officers are not trained for water rescues. These officers followed their training & went to get a boat.
City said officials will reevaluate the protocols around water rescues. They will also look at where rescue equipment like life preservers should be placed relative to the lake or any body of water.
Firefighters recovered Bickings’ body & pronounced him dead.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety & police in the neighboring suburb of Scottsdale are investigating the police response.
