G-Units most out spoken member, Young Buck is broke his silence about the incident involving Tony Yayo and Jimmy Henchmens 14-year-old son. Yayo is accused of assaulting the minor. Im gonna be honest, I dont respect nobody who puts their hands on no kids. I have a child myself. If someone puts their hands on mine, I understand the way it goes. So in this situation, honestly, I dont know the truth of it, but I dont rock with nothing thats under that circumstance putting your hands on a kid. It wouldnt matter if it was my crew or any other crew, he told Hot 97 personality Angie Martinez.

Almost two weeks after the indictment of three New York Police Department officers in the shooting death of 23-year-old Sean Bell, new information has surfaced about Bell s alleged violent past. In a story published by the New York Daily News, a 26-year-old man arrested on drug charges says that he was shot by bell in July of 2006. According to the NYPD, the story is credible. Police also dont rule out the idea that the man could have falsely identified Bell in an attempt to escape charges. Bell had a prior arrest for drug charges, but Sanford Rubenstein, the attorney representing Bells fianc, Nicole Paultre-Bell says the new allegations have nothing to do with Bells death at the hands of the NYPD. We expected them to throw dirt at us and they are throwing dirt at us," he says. "What relevance does it have to what happened that night?" he said. "None. Does that justify what happened? Absolutely not.

Remember when sneakers were affordable? NBA player Stephon Marbury, the front man for a more affordable line of basket ball apparel called Starbury has a new endorser. Chicago Bulls player Ben Wallace will sport a pair of Starburys this Thursday when the Bulls play his old team, the Detroit Pistons. In addition to endorsing the line, Wallace is also set to debut his own basketball shoe, Big Ben this fall. The Starbury line does not pay Wallace or Marbury, but the two receive royalties from sales. "Once parents and their kids begin to see that other pro athletes are getting down with this, then it just makes a world of difference," Marbury said in a phone interview with the Detroit Free Press. "It's not just one person doing it. Other people are wearing the shoes. Other people are putting their feet inside of shoes that they're saying are cheap."
