50 Cent's Toy Soldier is Causing Trouble in CT
Dwayne “Hove” McKenzie, who works for 50 Cent and resides at his Farmington, Conn. mansion, was arrested on Sunday (October 14) on weapons and assault charges for allegedly pistol-whipping a club promoter. According to the Hartford Courant, McKenzie stands accused of assaulting promoter Howard Allison at around 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday (October 10) after the man refused to announce an after-party at 50’s home during the reopening of local nightspot Club Life.
According to a police report, McKenzie pulled up to Allison in a 2007 Cadillac Escalade as the man was getting out of his car and questioned him about the snub. After a discussion, Allison started to walk away when McKenzie asked him, “Are We Good?” Allison reportedly replied, “Hell no, you don’t call someone up threatening to smack them because they don’t big you up in the club.” At that point, Allison claims, McKenzie put his arm around his shoulder and hit him in the chin and right eye with a pistol that then fell to the ground. McKenzie then told Allison to “call the cops” and got into his vehicle and left.
McKenzie made the news last August when he discharged a pistol outside of a Hartford nightclub after a man tried to rob him of a $100,000 chain. The state attorney’s office did not prosecute McKenzie in that case because he had a permit for the weapon at the time, although he has since lost his right to carry a weapon. Police picked McKenzie up at around 1:00 a.m. Sunday on a warrant and found that he had two weapons in his possession at the time. He was arraigned on Monday on two counts of carrying a pistol without a permit, two counts of second-degree assault and one count of weapons in a motor vehicle. McKenzie is being held on $750,000 bail, but is expected to be released today. He is due back in court on November 6.
Dwayne “Hove” McKenzie, the same employee/housemate of 50 Cent’s who made noise in August after firing his gun outside a Hartford, CT nightclub, is in trouble again.
Puff is a Bully
Don't fuck wit Diddy

October 16, 2007 -- Hip-hopper Sean "Diddy" Combs will be charged with assault after allegedly delivering a bloody rapping to a SoHo clubgoer over the weekend, police sources said last night.
Cops were reinterviewing witnesses - and were possibly poised to slap a more serious gun rap against one of the star's bodyguards - after Combs roughed up love rival Steven Acevedo at the trendy joint Kiosk in SoHo in the wee hours Saturday, the sources said.
Combs, 37, and Acevedo, 31, who is in the clothing business in Manhattan, were fighting over one of the playboy rapper's new squeezes, a striking blonde who accompanied him to Cannes in France over the summer, sources said.
Acevedo has dated the woman, one source said.
In a statement, Combs's lawyer denied any wrongdoing by his client.
"We hope this matter will be resolved without the filing of any criminal charges as it was a disagreement among acquaintances, not a criminal assault," said the attorney, Benjamin Brafm
The woman was not at the club, and possibly not even in the country, when the fight broke out between her former and current boyfriends, the source said.
Acevedo told cops that the pair got into an argument at the club around 3:30 a.m. and then briefly separated before starting to fight again.
Combs then clocked him twice in the face, busting his lip and bloodying his nose, Acevedo claims.
At one point, Combs allegedly screamed at his foe, "I'll kill you, punk!"
Acevedo told police that one of Combs' goons lifted his shirt as if to signal that he had a gun.
The alleged victim said he left the club and then called the cops to report the incident from home about an hour later.
Investigators are now going back to witnesses to try to determine whether the bodyguard was armed. If so, they may charge him in the case, the sources said.
Combs will be charged with a misdemeanor - third-degree assault - and given a desk-appearance ticket for his role in the incident, the sources said. He will not face jail time, they said.
Acevedo refused to comment when reached at home last night.
Combs is a notorious bad boy when it comes to girlfriends.
His longtime lover, Kim Porter, who gave birth to twins by him earlier this year, dumped him after he reportedly got another woman pregnant at around the same time.
He also allegedly punched a man during a brawl over another woman at an Oscars party in Hollywood in February.
Combs' most infamous dust-up involved one of his favorite former gal pals, Jennifer Lopez.
The pair became embroiled in a shooting that injured three people at a Manhattan nightclub.
Combs' protégé Jamal "Shyne" Barrow landed a 10-year prison term for his role in the shooting.

Cass is on drugs
Cassidy has a little advice for mogul Jay-Z. The Swizz Beatz protégé thinks the Def Jam prez should push his album back.
"I think right now, the way that I got the hood on smash and the way that my song is poppin' off, I don't think it would be a smart decision for Hov to drop on November 6," Cassidy told SOHH. [Watch Here]
Cass' new project, The Barry Adrien Reese Story (B.A.R.S.) is slated to hit shelves the same day as Hov's concept album American Gangster.
And though Jay's "unofficial soundtrack" to the flick of the same name has been getting good reviews, Cass said American Gangster is not as anticipated as any of Hov's classics.
"It ain't like when [The Blueprint] Vol. 1 or Vol. 2 was gonna drop, it's a lot different," Cassidy said.
Cassidy's third solo effort is the follow up to I'm a Hustla, in which he sampled Hov's voice on the title track.
Cassidy compared the projected sales stand-off to that of 50 Cent and Kanye West.
"The same way that Kanye and 50 both benefited from dropping on the same day, I think if I drop with somebody as legendary as Hov, I can't do nothing but benefit from that," Cass said. "I'm happy that Hov, a person that really takes lyricism seriously, is coming back out again."
Hov isn't the only one Cass says isn't fit to come against him. The rapper recently smashed rumors of a battle rap with Joe Budden, saying the only emcee fit to battle him was himself.
