medical attention when he attempted to seek help.
“On October 29th I was laced with an unknown sub- stance here in Miami, FDC,” he wrote. “That substance gave me an out of body expe- rience and had me feeling like I was possessed and dying slowly.

THE GAME
LOS ANGELES, CA – Suge Knight is a notorious figure in the 90s West Coast rap game. The co-founder and former CEO of the infamous Death Row Records has al- ways went about his business a certain way, whether it’s sending death threats via text message or even crashing his car into a former associate.
In an interview with Nick Cannon, who has also taken on the responsibility of pen- ning Knight’s autobiogra- phy, The Game looked back at a moment after what he says would be the 2004 Vibe Awards in which he earned the rap mogul’s respect.
“I’ve been face-to-face with Suge with guns drawn, on both sides,” said the Born 2 Rap artist on Power 106 FM in Los Angeles. “Suge rolled up on me one time after the

Vibe Awards after-party with like 60 gangsters. He wanted to press for something I said in my song about him, which I said it because I’m from Compton. I’m really from Compton. And I felt like Death Row and Suge and that whole era took so many lives that didn’t get men- tioned in the city. A couple of those was friends and big homies. So I said a few things about Suge that he didn’t like and they rolled up on me.”
25 years old at the time, The Game refused to let Knight and his entourage in- timidate him.
“Idrewmygunonallof them and I held my own. And from that day forward, it was nothing but respect from Suge,” said the former G- Unit rapper.

YoungBoy would possibly be moving to Los Angeles, Cali- fornia because Baton Rouge "isn't conducive" to his growth. YoungBoy Never Broke Again was released back in August after a three-month term in connection with a shooting in Miami in which he was believed to be the target. The shooting left a bystander dead and his girlfriend in- jured. YoungBoy still has other legal issues to contend with, having been arrested twice in Georgia recently.
Prosecutors Might Shave Ten Years Off 6ix9ine's Sentencing
6ix9ine is facing the pos- sibility of a lengthy prison sentence, but prosecutors have reportedly indicated that they're willing to dismiss a firearms count against him. As Page Six reports, the con- troversial rapper could have ten years shaved off his po- tential time behind bars if the count is dropped.
After a year that saw him consistently in the news fol- lowing a breakthrough 2018, 6ix9ine is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 18. He is facing a mandatory prison term as per federal sentenc- ing guidelines, but due to his

cooperation with the author- ities against members of the Nine Trey Bloods gang, he could be a free man sooner
than initially thought. He previously faced a minimum of 47 years in prison follow- ing his guilty plea to racket- eering conspiracy and multiple other charges.
Federal prosecutor Michael Longyear has said that him and other prosecu- tors have agreed to drop the count, which stemmed from posession of a machine gun. "The Government will move to dismiss Count Two at sen- tencing," wrote Longyear. "Thus ...the defendant’s mandatory minimum term of incarceration would be 37 years’ imprisonment."
