Jada Pinkett Smith Denies
Nipsey Hussle’s Alleged Killer Makes Demands In Court
ERIC HOLDER
Eric Holder doesn’t want
the transcripts from the grand jury hearing in the Nipsey Hussle murder case to be made public.
According to the Los Ange- les Times, a judge denied the demands of the alleged killer’s lawyer Lowynn Young, who was arguing to keep the docu- ments sealed, on June 27. The public defender felt the release of the transcripts would cause public opinion to jeopardize her client’s right to a fair trial.
The transcripts document the May 9 decision by a 23- member grand jury panel to indict Holder on one count of murder, two counts each of at- tempted murder and assault with a firearm, and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon. He pleaded not guilty.

claims he was in a years-long relationship with Jada Pin- kett Smith while she was married to Will Smith, the actress has issued a denial.
After Alsina spoke pub- licly about allegedly being ro- mantically involved with the actress, including the claim that her longtime husband gave Alsina his "blessing," Jada's reps have called the claims "absolutely not true," according to Page Six and TMZ. E! News has reached out for comment.
A rep for Will did not re- spond.
AUGUST ALSINA
The headline-making alle- gations surfaced last week in an interview between Alsina and Angela Yee, published on YouTube. During the sit- down, the topic of the 27- year-old singer's "Nunya" track came up along with the rumors that he had dated Smith.
"Here's what I'll say," Alsina began in response. "People can have whatever ideas that they like, but what I'm not ok with is my charac- ter being in question, when certain things are question- able that I know is not me or that I know I haven't done."
Hip Hop may find its way back on the country charts thanks to Nelly. Country star Kane Brown has enlisted the diamond-selling rapper for a remix of his “Cool Again” sin- gle.
Nelly teased the upcom- ing collaboration in an Insta- gram livestream, which he later shared on his main ac- count.
In the clip, Nelly said, “Me and nephew did a video today for one of the dopest tracks
