[WATCH] Styles P Comes To Aid Of Girl Being Assaulted By Police In Front His Juice Bar

Screen Shot 2022 07 13 at 4.52.52 PM

L.O.X.’s Styles P has rapped and stood for social justice long before his healthy living ventures and that was shown yesterday in front of Styles’ juice bar in Yonkers when the rapper confronted Yonkers Police officers who were being overly aggressive with a woman they were attempting to detain.

The teen girl can be heard screaming for help in the video in front of Juices For Life In Yonkers while several officers were attempting to place her in handcuffs. A female bystander recorded the incident to ensure police didn’t overstep their authority. Not long after, Styles can be heard in the video calling the cop on top of the teen a “bitch” before the officer attempted to confront the D-Block veteran, but with no laws broken, the officer was forced to listen to the legendary rapper’s anti-police brutality tirade.

In typical gentleman fashion, Styles took to social media later last night to apologize for not controlling his temper during the confrontation, however, he did contend that somebody has to stand up against an obvious problem that continues to haunt urban communities.

DMX Mural Unveiled at Calcagno Houses, Yonkers, New York

DMX mural

DMX mural in hometown is paying tribute to the late rapper.

On Tuesday, artist Floyd Simmons unveiled a mural of DMX in Yonkers, New York.  The massive tribute is located on  a wall near the Calcagno Homes on School Street, the same public housing where X once lived. 

In a statement, Simmons said he was grateful for the opportunity to pay tribute to the Ruff Ryder.

This follows the reports of DMX’s cause of death last week.

DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, died from a cocaine-induced heart attack, which prevented circulation to his brain.

“It was cardiac arrest for a period of time, so there was no circulation to the brain,” said a medical examiner’s office rep, who also added X’s regular cocaine use ultimately leading up to his death.

“His death literally happened immediately because the brain was dead,” the source added. “So obviously, there were a number of days where he was on ventilatory support and so forth in the hospital. However, he was diagnosed brain-dead early on…He never woke up from [a] coma.”

DMX was taken off of life support after being in a coma for almost a week before being taken off ventilation systems and pronounced dead on April 9. He was 50 years old.

DMX Will Be Released From Prison Tomorrow

Last March, DMX was sentenced to one year in prison for tax fraud. The rapper born Earl Simmons was visibly emotional as he received the judge’s order, which came after the former superstar played the courtroom his song, “Slippin’.” He told the bench, “I never went to the level of tax evasion where I’d sit down and plot…like a criminal in a comic book.” Less than one year later, DMX is returning to the streets. The release is expected to take place tomorrow (January 25) at 9 am EST. Vulture confirmed with Simmons’ attorney, Murray Richman. The lawyer added, “I spoke to [DMX]; he’s very happy. He’s looking forward to being home. He’s never been hotter than now — people have been seeking him out all over.” Swizz Beatz Explains Why The JAY-Z, Nas & DMX Collabo Has Not Come Out (Video) Vulture investigated the release date with the Bureau Of Prisons press office. While the 48-year-old rapper’s release date is Sunday (January 27), the publication confirmed that advances are regularly made to accommodate weekday releases. The Yonkers, New York representative will be under three years of supervision upon his release. The incarceration followed a November 2017 guilty plea from X, who owed a reported $1.7 million in tax liabilities. The rapper who regularly performs despite not releasing an album since 2012’s Undisputed, was reportedly receiving appearance fees in cash to avoid tax debt. However, things intensified when X failed to meet court-ordered drug treatment, and tested positive for Oxycodone and cocaine.

The current stay will have been the longest single sentence since the rapper rose to fame in the late 1990s.
