Rapper The Game welcomes second son
Rapper The Game, Jayceon Taylor, 27, and his girlfriend Tiffany Webb welcomed a son, King Justice, on April 25th. King joins older brother Harlem Caron, who turns 4 on June 30th.
Game will beat the rap, lawyer says
MANHATTAN. West Coast rapper The Game will be acquitted on charges that he impersonated an undercover cop last year, his attorney said yesterday.
The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, 26, is expected to appear today in Manhattan Criminal Court for a status hearing in connection to his Nov. 16, 2006, arrest for allegedly entering a livery cab at 56th Street and Seventh Avenue and telling the driver to run at least two red lights because he was an undercover police officer.
Taylor, who has pleaded not guilty, also allegedly flashed what appeared to be police identification, according to a criminal complaint. He was later arrested and charged with second-degree criminal impersonation.
“The case was weak when it started and it continues to limp along,” Taylor’s attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, told Metro yesterday. “We expect an acquittal at trial.”
Taylor actually flashed a photograph of his son — and not a police badge, according to Lichtman, who claimed the NYPD had been following his client prior to the arrest.
In March, Taylor failed to appear for a hearing in the case because his fiancée was hospitalized due to a high-risk pregnancy. Judge Neil Ross issued Taylor a stayed bench warrant that will be voided if he appears in court today.

9tre Gangsters And BWS Charged With Running Drug Ring And Money Laundering
A New Jersey grand jury charged 46 members of the 9 Tre Gangsters with running a statewide drug ring on Friday (June 9), claiming they used violence to protect their territory from rival gangs.
According to the Newark Star Ledger, an indictment filed in Superior Court on Friday named 34-year-old David "Duke" Allen with running the street organization from his prison cell in the New Jersey State Prison, where he is already serving a life sentence for a 2001 murder conviction.
Authorities say that Allen ran 9 Tre through his top soldiers, Jermaine Little and James Pringle, both 34 years of age, who carried out the orders of Allen on the streets.
All three men face a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison if convicted on charges of running a narcotics trafficking network, state prosecutors said, according to the paper. They are also being accused from of racketeering, conspiracy to distribute illegal narcotics -- including cocaine and heroin -- and extortion, among other offenses.
The indictment comes nearly a year after New Jersey State Police arrested the higher-ranking members of the gang back in July 2006, in which State Police worked together, gathering and sharing intelligence to build cases against each of the arrested gang members.
The result of the information sharing comes in the form of additional charges against the 9 Tre members, including murder, conspiracy to commit murder and several other charges.
Police have also involved the gang in the music business, claiming they partnered rapper The Game and business partner John "Johnny Hooks" Abbey to launch an Atlantic City recording studio used to launder more than $83,000 in drug money.
38-year-old Abbey was arrested and charged with money laundering last November (see "The Game's NJ Business Partner Charged With Money Laundering") after police raided the recording studio/offices of Black Wall Street East, a house located in Little Egg Harbor, which was owned by Abbey and a construction company that he had invested in.
Abbey faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a fine of $500,000 for laundering the dirty money. The Game was not charged.
The Ledger reports that the 9 Tre Gangsters, a faction of the Bloods street gang, was as many as 270 members strong before the July busts and had a major presence in Newark, Trenton and Atlantic City, and was involved in criminal enterprises through many cities statewide.

Rapper 'The Game' pleads not guilty to LA basketball game fight
LOS ANGELES—Rapper "The Game" pleaded not guilty Thursday to punching and threatening to shoot a man during a pickup basketball game in South Los Angeles.
The 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, entered the pleas in Superior Court. He is charged with three felony counts of making a criminal threat, possessing a firearm in a school zone and exhibiting a firearm in the presence of an officer.
Taylor, who remained free on $50,000 bail, faces more than years in state prison if convicted.
Prosecutors contend that during a Feb. 24 pickup basketball game, Taylor punched an opposing player, then pulled a gun from his red Cadillac Escalade and threatened to shoot him.
His attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
The Game is due back in court on June 27.

The Game Charged with Pulling Gun During Game
Rapper The Game has been charged with making a criminal threat and with possession of a firearm in a school zone during a Feb. 24 pickup basketball game, according to the L.A. District Attorney's office.
The rapper, whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, allegedly got into an altercation with a player on an opposing team during a basketball game at the Rita Walters Educational Learning Complex in South Los Angeles. After allegedly punching the victim, cops say The Game pulled a gun from his red Escalade and threatened to pop the victim. Not very sportsmanlike!
The 27-year-old is also charged with one count of exhibiting a firearm in the presence of an officer. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday for the three felonies.
Just last month, LAPD arrested The Game at his Glendale home, after police executed a search warrant. He was released on $50,000 bail. If convicted, The Game is facing more than five years in state prison.
