You have to admit that in all the hype that is show business, somehow the heavy hitters in the rap game have done a great job of laying low, and flying under the radar. Seldom do you get to catch them doing anything at all in the public eye.
I found this article a couple weeks back, but just got around to reading it now. If you’re a fan of Hova then chances are you’ll enjoy this read from ComplexMag.

Unless you live under a rock you probably caught wind of legndary skater turned snearker afiicianado Chad Muska’s drunken run in with the law back in the summer. The long haired Muska was arrested for allegedly spray painting his name across the front of a Hollywood coffee shop, and when he got caught by security at the nearby Roosevelt Hotel he went on a racial rampage of drunken slurs until police arrived. Lucky for us TMZ caught it all on tape.
Muska appeared in court this week and pled no contest to the charges. The judge heard Muska’s plea and agreed not to file the charges if he doesn’t get in trouble with the law again for a year, and makes good with he coffee shop he tagged.
By the way, he’s reaaaaallly sorry.… check out his official apology.
Maybe he had the wrong lawyer, or maybe he just truly felt bad, but either way he came up on the losing end of this one!
With all the papers signed, sealed and delivered, according to TMZ it looks like Vanessa Bryant walked away with all 3 of the couples mansions as well as half of their (his) net worth — a cool $75 million!
Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa is the big winner in their divorce property settlement … TMZ has learned.
Sources connected to the couple and with direct knowledge of the situation tell TMZ … the property settlement agreement is signed, sealed and delivered — a done deal.
Vanessa is walking away with $75 million, which we’re told represents close to half of their total assets, estimated at around $150 million.
TMZ previously reported several transfers of property earlier this year between Kobe and Vanessa. It turns out, based on the property settlement, Vanessa scored a clean sweep, snagging ALL THREE of the former couple’s mansions in the Newport Beach area.
