Gang Leader Tied To Tupac's Murder Case...
A gang leader tied to Tupac's murder case is finally going to do time.
For a completely separate case, Darnell Brim is getting 10 years in federal prison after getting caught selling crack cocaine.
Brim is allegedly one of the 4 men who rode in the white Cadillac that opened fire on Tupac's car killing him in 1996.
Although Tupac's murder has never been solved and he was never charged, LAPD believes the South Side Compton Crips leader was hit in a drive-by shooting just 2 days after Tupac's murder due to retaliation.

Mystikal Settles Up To $3 Million...
Rapper Mystikal was hit with a $2.9 million dollar lawsuit in back taxes last month.
The lawsuit involved money he earned between 1997 and 2013.
Mystikal allegedly said "his managers were to blame for the huge tab since he was in prison for a rape conviction during the bulk of the time in question."
The judge agreed to a settlement and he will not have to stand trial.
Great news for Mystikal who is free on a $3 million bond for first-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping after being accused of sexual assault in 2017.
Mystikal has also pleaded not guilty to the charges.

LL Cool J Wins Victory In...[VIDEO]
(Getty Images)
LL Cool J sued a company for the use of his "Rock The Bells" phrase.
The company attempted to trademark the phrase and also use it as the name of a hip-hop festival that ran from 2004 to 2013.
LL Cool J scored a victory in 2017 after petitioning to the Trademark Trail and Appeal Board.
However, the company allegedly continued to use the trademark.
Luckily for LL, a judge issued a default judgement against the promoter to "immediately transfer all control of social media accounts, website domains, and other intellectual property."
Good thing he didn't have to knock nobody out. ;)
