Criminal Charges Against Tony Yayo Dropped, Rapper Hit With Violation

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  28 Comments

Tony Yayo’s attorney, Scott Leemon, announced today (February 14) that all criminal charges against the rapper had been dropped by prosecutors in New York. The charges were brought against Yayo after the 14 year-old son of G-Unit rival Jimmy Henchmen claimed that the rapper slapped him on a Manhattan street. According to Leemon, his client plead guilty to a non-criminal violation, which the attorney likened to a “glorified traffic ticket,” after the DA’s office declined to pursue actual criminal charges. The case turned in Yayo’s favor after it was revealed last month that his co-defendant Lowell Fletcher had admitted to striking the boy several months ago, but authorities failed to inform prosecutors of the statement. “As I told you from the beginning, Tony Yayo did not hit anyone and would never do anything to harm a child” Leemon said in a statement announcing the outcome. “This fact was confirmed by Mr. Fletcher when he told members of the notorious Hip-Hop police in August that he did this on his own. The Hip-Hop police buried this helpful information and the charges against Tony Yayo proceeded until today. Without a doubt, today’s proceedings have validated Mr. Bernard’s claim that he was falsely accused.”

    “He had the paper to get off”
    “fall guy”

    The fuckin kid I.D.d the dude that actually smacked him in a line up, and Yayo was the one that after the dude smacked the kid Yayo grabbed the dude like WTF are you doin. Its on SOHH and AHH in more detail.

    So fuck all you haters, how about “he didnt do it” period.

    *SMH*

    Quick to hate, slow to congradulate.

    • Trickdd

      @ EFake
      Cause you where their huh? fuckin morron. get a life and quit making shit up homo! Yayo would slap you like you where 14 just to get you to quit making shit up. He slaped that kid and paid over 250,000 in lawyer fees. He did it and got away, now quit saying shit you know is a lie! He didnt pay you why the fuck are you trying to testify for him. Get a life Loser!

      • EReal

        @Does Tricks For Dick
        Im saying, in the court of law it was proved this dude didnt slap anyone. It was actually proved in the court of law Yayo stopped the dude, and the KID HIMSELF PICKED THE OTHER GUY OUT OF A LINEUP. You fucking simpleton.

        Were you there? did you see the shit? NOPE. Yet, you’re gonna say “he did it” “he got away with it” when you dont know shit for sure. Which means you’re just a fuckin hater, which is why you took offense in the first place, you homotinal bitch.

        Next time you start an argument, you may wanna think about not contridicting yourself throughout it. But then again, you stay gettin sonned on xxl so whatev.

        Either Way, fuck you and have a nice day.
