“Koz just got out on work release. Not to say I wish he was still here,” he said. “But they’re both great, smart guys.” Kozlowski, 65, is serving eight to 25 years for using the coffers of Tyco Inc. as a piggy bank. He’s infamous for splurging on a $6,000 shower curtain and a $2 million party in Sardinia with an ice sculpture of Michelangelo’s David urinating vodka. Ja Rule, 36, a married father of three, knows something about the luxe life, too. When he was arrested on a gun charge in 2007, the weapon was in a $250,000 Maybach. He’s sold 40 million records and gone platinum with nothing but a juggernaut voice and a talent for lyrics that resonate in neighborhoods like his own Hollis, Queens. Ja Rule dropped out of high school. Hevesi, who has a Ph.D. from Columbia, and Kozlowski, who graduated from Seton Hall University, urged him to pursue higher education. “I was studying for my GED and Koz came in and talked to me and said, if you need any help, let me know,” he said, two weeks after getting the degree. The ex-CEO told him to buy airline stock and study business. He starts taking college-level courses this month. His friendship with Hevesi, the former state controller who began serving one to four years in April for a “pay to play” corruption scheme, centers around politics. “Hevey’s a Democrat like me, so that helps,” Ja Rule said. “He told me how it’s like pulling teeth with the two parties trying to get bills passed.” Hevesi’s lawyer, Bradley Simon, confirmed his client gets along with the hip-hop star — and everyone else on the 23-man prison block. “Alan reads books most of the day, but I know they all watch television together at night,” Simon said. Hevesi, 72, isn’t the first power player Ja Rule has met in prison: At Hudson Correctional Facility he played cards and basketball with Hank Morris, the strategist who pocketed $18 million in the pension scandal that doomed Hevesi. “Hank was my Spades partner, and we were undefeated in basketball,” Ja Rule said. “Hank had a jumpshot, man.” Ja Rule, famous for feuds with other rappers, mused about the unlikely friendships he’s forged. “It’s funny,” he said. “We’re from totally different walks of life. But when you’re here, you’re here.”

The lawsuit also names “Black and Yellow” producers Stargate, Wiz’s label Rostrum Records, Wiz’s publishing company PGH Sound, EMI Music Publishing, Warner Music Group and Atlantic Recording Corporation. The plaintiff is seeking $2,375,000 in damages for a litany of charges, including deceit, copyright infringement, civil conspiracy and unjust enrichment.

Sources close to Wiz Khalifa claim that he did not steal the concept for “Black and Yellow” from songwriter Max Gregory Warren. A source said, “Wiz has never heard of this guy … it’s just a plot that happens all the the time to rappers to get money. This is just some no-name rapper who wants to get paid.”

Police claim that BG and Fedison, who are both convicted felons, pressured Pollard into taking the gun charges, due to his clean criminal record. In May, BG was arrested for his role in persuading Pollard to claim ownership of the guns, hence the witness tampering charge. Fedison recently pleaded guilty to gun and witness tampering charges and was sentenced to a 20-year term. Pollard reportedly cooperated with authorities and received an 30 month sentence. BG is facing certain jail time and could receive up to 40 years in prison, when he is sentenced on March 14. Then again T.I. got caught with 5 times more guns and even automatic machine guns and only got 1 year in jail. Hmmmmmm it still makes me wonder how is that even possible. Lets hope B.G. doesn’t  have to do a long stretch, he is one of the only artists that was ever signed to Cashmoney that isn’t gay or lame or both.

After the judge announced the sentencing, Lil Boosie requested drug rehab. Erwin said he would recommend it but could not order it. There were about 12 deputies with the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office surrounding Lil Boosie while he was in court. Lil Boosie is also charged with first-degree murder in the death of Terry Boyd. Prior to the plea, Erwin refused to remove District Attorney Hillar Moore from that case. Lil Boosie’s lawyers subpoenaed Michael Louding, also known as Marlo Mike, to testify on Lil Boosie’s behalf after repeatedly trying to get Louding on the stand. Louding’s attorney, Margaret Lagatutta, said she will fight the subpoena. Louding is accused of six separate murders. Prosecutors said Louding told them he was hired as a hitman by Lil Boosie. It is unclear if the death penalty is on the table.

According to the lawsuit, Plaintiff Clarence Evans attended a meeting at a residence in Harris County with Slim Thug and several associates.

Clarence Evans claims that he was “suddenly and without warning” attacked by Slim Thug, who allegedly struck Evans in the face with the end of a pistol.

The lawsuit claims that Slim Thug ordered his associates to attack Evans and rob him of his money.

“Defendants participated in the attack and directed the other attendees of the business meeting to attack Plaintiff and steal any money Plaintiff had in his pockets at the time,” the lawsuit claims.

Clarence Evans is seeking an disclosed amount for a variety of charges.

Evans is suing Slim Thug and his associate Raymond Thomas for medical, hospital and pharmaceutical charges, lost wages, pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical disability and disfigurement. Slim Thug is 6 ft 8 why would he need to pistol whip someone ? Sounds like a fishy lawsuit to me.
