Rick Ross Settles $1.5M Tax Bill
6ix9ine Sued For $150 Million Over Shooting That Injured A Woman
6ix9ine is being sued for $150 million over a 2018 shooting that left a woman in- jured.
According to legal documents obtained by Complex, the plaintiff—identified as Jane Doe—alleges she was shot in the foot while at the Smurf Vil- lage apartment complex in Brooklyn, where members of the Nine Trey Bloods Gang were filming a video. The suit states someone had called 6ix9ine—legal name Daniel Hernandez—to inform him that his alleged kidnappers were present at the video shoot, so he allegedly "in- structed the member who placed the call to him to assault and/or murder the Nine Trey members involved in his kid- napping." It's worth noting, however, that the shooting took place July 16, six days before the rapper's alleged kidnapping and robbery took place.
Multiple gunshots were fired at the complex shortly after 6ix9ine allegedly ordered the

attack. The plaintiff was wounded in the foot during the shooting, and sustained in- juries to her back and knees. She claims she lost her job at the Century 21 department store and was unable to begin training at the police academy because of the injury. The plaintiff is seeking $75,000,000 in compensatory damages and $75,000,000 in punitive damages.
Rick Ross has just settled a whopping bill of over $1.5 mil- lion in back taxes, owed to the IRS. According to The Blast, the IRS filed a release for its federal tax lien against Ross, after he paid off the debt on February 24.
The back tax was owed for the years 2014 and 2016 — for which Ross owed $254,341

and $1,294,059, respectively. This isn’t the first time Ross has had to settle a large tax tab. Back in October 2018, the IRS accused him of owing over $1.1 million in taxes from 2013 to 2014. He finally paid the gov- ernment agency over $5 mil- lion in back taxes, which also included a $4.6 million bill that he owed from 2012.
Big3 Aiming To Launch Quarantined Reality-Style Tournament In April
In addition to making you worry about your job, your money, your health, your par- ents' health, your ability to fend off cabin fever, and whether or not you're going to have to repeat the eighth grade, the coronavirus has also made sports really suck by get- ting all of them postponed or canceled.
In an effort to combat that last thing in at least some small way (sorry about the first six), the Big3 reportedly has
ICE CUBE
plans to launch a quarantined reality-style tournament to give the masses something to watch on the sports front.
Obviously, given the league
that is running it, this tourna- ment will be of the three-on- three variety. Yahoo Sports reports that the goal is for this tournament to take place in April.
Yahoo adds that league brass (including Ice Cube) have had talks with multiple networks in order to get the tournament broadcasted. Ac- cording to the outlet's "sources," it is believed the tourney would have interna- tional interest.
