Rapper Freddie Gibbs charged with sexual assault in Austria

The US rapper Freddie Gibbs has been charged in Austria with sexually assaulting a woman while on tour in Vienna in 2015, an Austrian court spokesman said on Wednesday. Gibbs, 34, whose real name is Fredrick Tipton, has been remanded in custody in the Austrian capital following his extradition from France, where he was arrested in June. The rapper, who is from Gary, Indiana, and whose album Piñata was selected by several publications as among the best of 2014, denies any wrongdoing. “He is alleged to have administered knock-out drops to a woman and then have abused her sexually while she was in a defenceless state,” a spokesman for Vienna’s criminal court said, referring to drugs used to spike a person’s drink. The alleged incident occurred backstage in July 2015. Gibbs was charged on Tuesday with “sexual abuse of a defenceless or psychologically impaired person”, and if convicted faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, the spokesman said. A Vienna-based lawyer for Gibbs, Thomas Kralik, said his client had neither abused nor had sexual contact with the woman, and that he had yet to be formally notified of the charge. “He strenuously denies [the accusations],” Kralik said, adding that Gibbs also had nothing to do with the woman’s drink being spiked. A US lawyer for Gibbs, Theodore Simon, said: “While Freddie Gibbs was charged with an offence today, it remains only an allegation, and it does not in any way change the actual facts that Freddie Gibbs is 100% innocent.” In November 2014, Gibbs was shot at outside the record shop Rough Trade NYC, after an in-store appearance. The rapper and his associates were in a car leaving the venue when a man ran alongside and fired into the vehicle. Gibbs was unhurt, but two people were taken to hospital with injuries.Thanks for reading.

Why I Have No Endorsement Deal – Lil Kesh Reveals

According to him, the loss awakened that inborn hustle in him, which made him worked tirelessly hard.
“That was what gingered me to drop my album around March, because` when that happened, I was gingered to do better. It just woke the Lil Kesh up that ‘boy u been sleeping, you came into the industry with anger, and it woke the positivity in me’. I went into the studio, I started recording more songs, I dropped my album which is doing very well, I give God the glory”. “Big up to everybody who supported me still, it really affected me, I can’t deny, but now am chilling. The way life works, I am just 22 and the things I have gone through has proved to me that I really get the things that are meant for me, if its not for me I would not get it. So if I don’t get it, am sure its not for the right reasons, because its not for me. The things that I never thought that I would have in my life at one point in my life or the other came to me”.
“I don’t think that has got to do with me not having deals, look outside the Nigerian market, there a lot of people that say the curse words, even in the American market, don’t they get endorsement? The actual truth is you have no idea of the number of brands that have come to me for endorsement, but am just a guy that hustle for everything and will not settle for less, I won’t sign a crappy deal, I want to have an endorsement that people will celebrate, not just any how deal. A lot of people would come to you with crappy contract; I turned down a couple because I felt like it wasn’t good enough for me, when the right ones come it comes, its business”.
