‘BMF’ star Lil Meech allegedly stole a $250,000 Richard Mille watch and got caught ... leading to his arrest for grand theft.
The 22-year-old actor/rapper -- handpicked by 50 Cent to star as his dad, Big Meech, in the Starz ‘BMF’ series -- got booked on two counts of first-degree grand theft and a separate count of organized fraud on March 14.
Cops say the actor walked into Miami's Haimov Jewelers back in February and put a down payment on the Richard Mille using his $80,000 platinum Rolex, but he allegedly failed to pay the remaining $200K balance and never returned the watch.
Cops also accuse him of trying to trade the watch for a different Richard Mille piece at a different store.
Records show Meech was released on bond the same day he was arrested. Lil Meech hasn’t reacted to charges publicly, but he recently posted an Instagram photoshoot to let fans know he’s unbothered.
Season 2 of ‘BMF’ is set to begin filming in Atlanta, and 50 hopefully doesn’t have to subtract Lil Meech from the equation.
Travis Scott is making sure hundreds of Black college students walk across the commencement stage with their diploma ... with a 7-figure donation.
The rapper awarded $1 million in scholarships to 100 students at HBCUs who are on track to graduate in the Class of 2022 ... ensuring they cross the finish line & aren't affected by last-minute financial hurdles.
The soon-to-be grads are each getting a $10,000 scholarship from Travis' previously-established Waymon Webster Scholarship Fund & the recipients finished their final semester with at least a 3.5 GPA.
Among the scholars ... Florida A&M University pharmacy major Nisha Encarnacion, who is from the U.S. Virgin Islands & paid her own way through college while supporting her mother & daughter, Fisk University computer science major Chisom Okwor, whose goal is to help transform developing countries in Africa & North Carolina Central University broadcast journalism major Jordan Massey, who took on a ton of debt to get his communications degree.
Travis' sister, Jordan Webster, manages the scholarship fund ... an
d she recently graduated as well, with a degree from Howard University.
Travis' donations went to seniors at 38 HBCUs ... including Alabama A&M University, Central State University, Jackson State University, Morehouse College, Texas Southern University, Grambling State University, Xavier University of Louisiana & Prairie View A&M University.
The $1 million worth of scholarships is part of Travis' Project HEAL, which as we first reported, was announced back in March & included $5 million in earmarks.
Remember ... Project HEAL was one of Travis' first public philanthropic since the tragic Astroworld concert last November, which saw 10 people die as a result of injuries sustained during Travis' set.

The families of the victims killed in the Buffalo massacre are getting a lot of help in the wake of this tragedy -- both on the crowdfunding front ... but, possibly, on the civil side too.
Fundraisers have been organized in the aftermath of Saturday's mass shooting -- which claimed the lives of 10 people after 18-year-old Payton Gendron opened fire in a supermarket in an attack that was rooted in racial hatred.
One of the campaigns was organized by Keith Blakely, CEO of OnCore Golf Technology, and has already raised around $100k.
Blakely tells TMZ ... the money came in over the course of a few days, with more than 1,400 donors making contributions ranging from $5 to $5k. Blakely says the $100k goal seemed like a tall order at first, but now ... he's aiming to give each family $10,000.
Blakely says he's teamed up with the Mayor's Office to help distribute the money ASAP. He tells us celebs have chipped in, but won't say who ... but he tipped his hand and said athletes have really stepped up.
Other GFMs have been started ... one for the Tops store, another for the slain security guard, yet another for victims' families and a 4th for resource deliveries to victims and members of the community who might be affected.
While all that dough is great, there might be an even larger amount on the horizon thanks to Ben Crump and his team ... he's already been retained by the family of Ruth Whitfield -- one of the oldest victims killed in Saturday's massacre.
Sources tell us Crump is looking to represent as many families as possible ... which we're told may include suing the gun manufacturer of the weapon used in the attack ... an AR-15-style rifle with a high capacity magazine.
We're told a massive civil suit could be brewing that'd be similar to the one filed in the Sandy Hook case, where the families received a $73 million settlement against the gunmaker, Remington.
The boxing world has been plunged into mourning following the tragic death of Musa Yamak. The unbeaten Turkish-born German boxer is understood to have died after he collapsed in the ring.
Yamak suffered a heart attack while in action against Hamza Wandera in his ninth professional bout on Saturday, May 14.
Yamak took a heavy shot in the second round of the bout staged in Buergerhaus, near Munich.
The boxer is understood to have tried to come out for the third round but dropped unconscious onto the floor.
German outlet BILD reports medics rushed into the ring shortly after Yamak had collapsed in an effort to save him. Paramedics are said to have later showed up at the event but were delayed by a charged crowd outside the arena.
While an ambulance was finally able to make its way to the venue, it was a little too late as Yamak was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
Yamak started boxing professionally in 2017, with the most significant highlight of his career coming in 2021 when he won the WBFed International title.
A New Jersey police chief charged with drunken driving last month could be seen lying in the street next to his pickup truck with his pants down — & responding officers mocked him until they realized who he was.
Bordentown Township Police Chief Brian Pesce was found on the floor in nearby Hamilton after a 911 caller reported following a “drunk” driver “weaving all over the place” & nearly hitting a mailbox.
“He’s gonna kill somebody,” the caller warned of the pickup driver.
She called back to say that the truck had stopped & the driver was “on the ground in the middle of the road … He’s so obliviated.”
The 23-year police veteran was then seen in bodycam footage sprawled out on the ground behind the truck late on April 22.
“Keys in the middle of the road; cellphone in the middle of the road,” one of the responding officers says with a hearty chuckle.
Noticing a wet patch on the ground, the same officer suggests with clear disgust that he “p—ed on his tire & then took a spill,” the footage shows.
The police chief claimed he was 35 — even though he is 46 & then mumbles, “What’s the problem?”
“You’re sleeping in the middle of the road,” one replies, while the other says, “Your pants are down.”
As he is led into an ambulance with an apparent head wound, the chief sounds confused as he says, “I drove? … I wasn’t driving anywhere.”
Pesce was charged with 5 traffic offenses, including drunken driving, reckless & careless driving, failing to report an accident & leaving the scene involving property damage.
Pesce, who had been chief since 2018, was put on restricted duty in the department.
A Patek Phillipe luxury watch with an estimated value of $50,000 — and $50,500 in cash — were stolen from a room at the Encore at Wynn Las Vegas this month. The suspect in the case was arrested & is scheduled to appear in court on June 13.
Anniajah Pratt, 23, was charged with grand larceny in connection with the theft.
The cash & watch belonged to a man who was staying at the Encore.
He apparently invited a woman to his hotel room after hanging out at a casino bar earlier that night.
The victim reported the theft after waking up in his room on May 6. He was “visibly upset” after checking his backpack & realized the money he had stored inside was stolen.
The pricey watch was apparently in the room before it was swiped. It was believed to have been on his wrist that night.
The victim has a foggy memory of what happened before the theft. He recalled being at the bar. He recalled asking some people to come up to his hotel room.
But surveillance video at the hotel showed the victim went to his room with a woman at 3:21 am.
But about 3 hours later, the same woman reportedly drove away from the Encore in a Nissan Altima. The car was owned by Pratt.
During a search of Pratt’s Las Vegas apartment, cops found sandals & a jumpsuit similar to what was worn by the woman the night of the theft. A purse in the apartment also resembled the one carried by the woman at the hotel.
Also, the victim selected Pratt among photos & said she was the woman who went to his room the night of the theft.

Eminem knows what it takes to pull together an instant-classic hip-hop album. So when he was finished listening to Kendrick Lamar‘s new kaleidoscopic collection, "Mr. Morale & The High Steppers," he had a lot to say.
Actually, he only had one word: “speechless.” That’s what the upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee texted to his pal and both men’s mutual mentor Dr. Dre on Sunday, two days after Lamar released his 5th studio album. “Yo @DrDre this Kendrick album is f****** ridiculous. I’m speechless,” Em wrote.

VANCOUVER, Wash. (KPTV) - The Vancouver Police Department is seeking victims who may have been customers at an Arby’s in October stemming from an investigation of a man for child pornography and assault charges.
VPD said on Tuesday, Stephen Sharp was interviewed by detectives. He confessed to downloading and distributing child pornography and having a sexual interest in children.
Sharp confirmed his employment as the night manager at Arby’s located at 221 Northeast 104th Avenue in Vancouver. After issuing a search warrant, a video was revealed of Sharp urinating in a milkshake mix container from Arby’s. Sharp confessed to detectives he urinated at least twice into the milkshake mix for sexual gratification.
Police are asking if you purchased a milkshake from this Arby’s location on Oct. 30 or Oct. 31, 2021, and you have a receipt or verified transaction information to confirm the purchase, to contact detective Robert Givens at Robert.givens@cityofvancouver.us. Detectives have not located any evidence that Arby’s or its franchisee were aware of Sharp’s actions.
Sharp was taken to the Clark County Jail on the following charges:
4 counts (charging max) of Possession of Depictions of Minor Engaged in Sexually Explicit Conduct 4 counts (charging max) of Dealing Depictions of Minor Engaged in Sexually Explicit Conduct Assault II
The 18-year-old man accused of storming a Buffalo, New York, supermarket Saturday and killing 10 and injuring three others planned to continue his bloody rampage down the street before he was stopped, police said.
Suspect Payton Gendron livestreamed the moment he opened fire in the parking lot of Tops Friendly Market at around 2:30 p.m. and continued shooting inside the store while dressed in tactical gear, police said. He was ultimately arrested at the scene.
Police are calling the attack a hate crime as 11 of 13 people who were shot were Black — and there could have been more victims if he hadn't been stopped.
“It appeared that his plans were to drive out of here and continue driving down Jefferson Avenue looking to shoot more Black people as he could and possibly go to another store location,” Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said on ABC’s “Good Morning America."
Police said in a news conference Sunday that the suspect “did some reconnaissance on the area and in the store,” before the shooting.
The suspect also appeared to be active in online gun communities and posted extremist views. Senior law enforcement officials said they believe he wrote a 180-page “manifesto” posted online that cites a racist conspiracy theory frequently promoted by white supremacists.
The document claims the suspect chose Buffalo because it was the city with the highest number of Black people in his vicinity.
He had also been investigated by New York State Police last year for making a threatening statement in June about wanting to carry out a shooting, a senior law enforcement official said.
The suspect was a minor at the time, the official said. He was transported to a hospital for a mental health evaluation and was not charged with a crime.
The alleged deranged mass shooter who shot & killed 10 people in a “racially motivated” rampage in a Buffalo supermarket faced a judge hours after the Saturday afternoon massacre.
Payton Gendron, 18, of Conklin, New York, wore a white paper gown & mask & was surrounded by police officers at his Saturday evening arraignment in Buffalo City Court.
Gendron was stoic as his court-appointed lawyer pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges on his behalf.
He was reportedly remanded without bail & due back in court on Thursday.
Gendron allegedly killed 10 people & injured three others at a Tops grocery store in a predominantly black neighborhood around 2:30 p.m. 11 of the victims were black & 2 were white.
He had driven some 200 miles from his home near Binghamton to carry out the sick mass shooting & was heavily armed & wearing tactical gear.
The shooting began in the supermarket parking lot & continued in the store, before he was taken into custody by Buffalo police.
“This was pure evil. It was a straight-up racially motivated hate crime from somebody outside of our community, outside of the City of Good neighbors … coming into our community & trying to inflict that evil upon us,” Erie County Sheriff John Garcia said.

10 people were killed and others wounded in a “racially motivated” mass shooting Saturday, by a young man in military-style gear who was toting an assault rifle & livestreaming the mayhem at a Buffalo supermarket, authorities said.
The shooter — identified by law enforcement as 18-year-old Payton Gendron — drove from “hours away” in Conklin, New York, to the Tops market, in a predominantly black neighborhood.
11 of the victims were black & 2 were white.
“We are investigating this incident as both a hate crime & a case of racially-motivated violent extremism,” said Stephen Belongia, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Buffalo field office said during a press conference.
Erie County Sheriff John Garcia gave a more blunt assessment.
“This was pure evil. It was a straight-up racially motivated hate crime,” he said.
The shooter arrived at the market at around 2:30 p.m. He “was very heavily armed. He had tactical gear on. He had a tactical helmet on,” Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said.
He also had a camera to livestream the shooting.
The gunman opened fire in the parking lot, killing 3 people & injuring a fourth, he said.
He then went inside the store, where he encountered a longtime “beloved” security guard & former Buffalo cop, who tried to stop him.
The guard’s bullet couldn’t pierce the attacker’s armor.
The shooter opened fire on the guard, killing him, Gramaglia said, before allegedly working his way through the rest of the store.
Buffalo cops confronted the shooter, who at one point put his gun to his own neck before authorities were able to talk him into surrendering, officials said.
