While Reginae Carter may be making headlines for posting hopeful messages that her on-again-off-again boyfriend, rapper Rayshawn “YFN Lucci” Bennett, will be “home soon” after his detainment on murder, aggravated assault, firearm, and other charges, Atlanta authorities are suggesting the opposite.

As we previously reported, the hit rapper turned himself in Wednesday (January 13) after learning he was facing a murder charge in connection with a deadly shootout.  Later that week, he was denied bond at his first court hearing related to the matter and – as of time reported – remains in police custody.

Headlines continue to bite Bow Wow for his involvement in a birthday celebration that recently packed a club in Houston despite the ongoing global health crisis (as we reported here).

Even earning harsh criticism from the city’s mayor, Sylvester Turner, the 33-year-old rapper-actor-TV personality has been battling the brunt of backlash for performing and taking part in the event that saw many of its patrons ignore recommended health and safety standards for gathered crowds.

Although his initial reaction was a defensive one (i.e. claiming he only performed one song, saying he wasn’t the sponsor or headliner of the event, etc.), he has since changed his tune to accept accountability for his actions.
