A 12-year-old boy has been arrested for allegedly throwing a rock through the windshield of Soulja Boy's tour bus.
The "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" hitmaker - real name DeAndre Ramone Way - was performing in Bloomington, Illinois on Thursday and the vehicle was attacked while parked in the town, as reported by Allhiphop.com.
According to police the unnamed boy was arrested shortly after the incident and when asked his reasons for committing the crime, he reportedly told officers because "I hate Soulja Boy."
Puffy Completes Deposition In Shooting Lawsuit
Sean 'Diddy' Combs has completed his deposition in a $130 million lawsuit filed against him in relation to a 1999 shooting outside a New York nightclub.
Music mogul Combs and former Bad Boy MC Shyne have both been named in the civil suit filed by victim Natania Reuben, who was shot in the face at the incident at Club New York.
Shyne - real name Moses Michael Leviy - is currently serving a 10-year jail term after being found guilty of assault, reckless endangerment and gun possession following the shooting.
Combs, who was with his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez at the time of the incident and whose honor the rapper was supposedly defending, was acquitted of all charges in the case.
But Reuben filed a civil action against the pair seeking damages for her injuries. A judge is now required to decide whether Shyne acted alone or as part of Combs' Bad Boy collective - the record label the hip-hop giant founded in 1993 - before the case goes to trial.
If both Combs and Shyne are required to stand trial, it will be up to a jury to decide who should take responsibility for the shooting.
Shyne, who did not testify during the criminal trial, may be required to take the stand and testify about the incident. The rapper is currently incarcerated at the Clinton Correctional Facility in New York State, and could be released as early as next year.
PUFFY HAD PAC KILLED?
The reporter who linked Sean 'Diddy' Combs to a gun attack on late rapper Tupac Shakur has refused to back down over the over the claims- insisting the story was factually correct.
The Los Angeles Times ran an article on Monday claiming the music mogul's former manager, Czar Entertainment CEO Jimmy 'Henchman' Rosemond was involved in a plan to ambush Shakur at a New York Recording studio in 1994.
Both Combs and Rosemond have hit back at the allegations - denying any involvement in the attack which saw Shakur shot five times, two years before he was murdered in Las Vegas. No one was ever charged in connection with the shooting, which was believed to have started a "gang war" which eventually resulted in Shakur's death.
Chuck Phillips, the journalist who wrote the story, also penned an article linking late rapper and Combs' protege Notorious B.I.G. to Shakur's death in 1996 - a claim which has also been vehemently denied by Rosemond, who said the story was full of "false information."
But Phillips is standing by his claims, insisting his research was accurate.
He says, "I try to go and find people who are directly involved or know people who are involved in the actual crime. I work the same as police do except I'm not a cop so people are not afraid to talk to me because I'm not going to arrest them.
"I deal with a lot of criminals in my work and I treat them with respect and I'm very secret about the information I gather from individuals and anybody that I work with. There are some dangerous people who I work with, but their information is safe with me."
Rosemond has since threatened legal action against the publication.
