Pretty Ricky’s Spectacular Smith Is Enrolled At Harvard Business School
Former Pretty Ricky member Spectacular Smith is now a student at Harvard Business School and fans across social media are showering him with praise for being “positively influen- tial.”
Smith, 32, posted an In- stagram photo of himself wearing a Harvard hoodie and sitting in what appears to be a classroom at the ivy league institution.

comments: “Such an inspira- tion. I can only pray I will be able to be greater than I am today... May God continue to guide you on your journey”
After Pretty Ricky called it quits as a group, Smith continued his success as an entrepreneur. He currently owns and operates Adwizar, a California-based company that “manages and monetizes the accounts of more than 100 actors, musicians and athletes.”
The St. Louis-based rap- per issued a statement deny- ing any wrongdoing and slamming his accuser for going after his girlfriend, Shantel Jack- son, who is also named in the lawsuit.
“I’ve been quiet for some time. But these baseless alle- gations hurt more than just me. The truth will come out, and I will be vindicated,” he said in a statement to Us Weekly. “These types of false allegations undermine real claims of sexual abuse/harassment by real victims.”
According to TMZ, court reports revealed Jane Doe claims Nelly masturbated in front of her and forced her to perform oral sex on him after a concert in December 2017. She’s also suing Shantel Jackson for claiming her man’s accusers were lying on social media.
“To go after my girlfriend as well is unfair and goes too far. Shantel has been through enough.
I am a father to a beautiful strong woman. I was raised by a strong single woman. I love them all very much,” he continued.
Tekashi 6ix9ine Arrested On Racketeering, Firearms Charges
Tekashi 6ix9ine was in federal custody on Monday on racketeering and firearms charges, law enforcement sources told the The Daily Beast.
Further details of the case involving the rapper—whose real name is Daniel Her- nandez—were to be an- nounced at an afternoon arraignment in Manhattan federal court. At least two other associates were also ar- rested.
But a recent memo from state prosecutors in an unre- lated sex-crimes case accused Tekashi of being part of a “criminal enterprise,” namely the gang 9 Trey Bloods.
The 22-year-old has nu- merous run-ins with the law since he was put on probation for use of a 13-year-old in a sexual performance in 2015, when he created three sexu- ally explicit videos of a girl that involved fondling her breast, smacking her but- tocks and watching two other men penetrate her orally and vaginally.
Hernandez admitted in

detail to the sex crime but es- caped jail time as a youthful offender—with the require- ment that he stay out of trou- ble. But law enforcement has entered his orbit several times since then.
Police say he left his sen- tencing with a “carload of known gang members.” And on Nov. 8, gunfire inter- rupted the filming of a video in Beverly Hills, in which Kanye West and Nicki Minaj were set to take part.
Last week, he appeared in Brooklyn Criminal Court on a charge of disorderly conduct related to an incident in May, when an officer allegedly was injured after stopping Her- nandez for driving with a suspended license. He was
fined $120.
In his 2015 plea agree-
ment, Hernandez was to demonstrate “that the crime he committed was the result of a serious mistake he made in his youth, one that was not indicative of the law abiding life he intended to lead as an adult,” according to a memo- randum written last month by the Manhattan District At- torney's Office.
“Since defendant’s plea of guilty on October 20, 2015, he has not only become a suc- cessful recording artist, but is now a self-admitted member of a violent gang, the 9 Trey Bloods,” the memo states, noting that such affiliation is “patently inconsistent with his acceptance of responsibil- ity and rehabilitation.”
“He has... been arrested multiple times for crimes he committed this year” and “ex- acerbated his own violent conduct by using his public platform and significant fol- lowing to provoke and pro- mote incidents of gun violence,” according to the memo.
