Since the alleged assault on Jimmy “Henchmen” Rosemond’s 14 yr old son, Tony Yayo, born Marvin Bernard has been arrested and of course released on $5000 bail. Yayo was arraigned on Sunday March 25, on one count of misdemeanor and one count of endangering the welfare of a minor.
As a direct result to the incident, Hip Hop Summit Action Networks’ Russell Simmons and Dr. Benjamin Chavis are planning a peaceful rally & grievance in response to the incident. Cynthia Reed the teen’s mother, Representatives from Czar Entertainment, parents, students and Religious Leaders are expected to attend.
“We are involved to try to help mediate the problem, said Chavis. “In truth, every child in our community is precious. The theme Hip Hop Summit is taking back responsibility. With artistic freedom comes responsibility. Therefore anytime a child in our community is harmed it is a great concern to us. We are hoping and praying that this matter can be resolved peacefully and resolutely. At the end of the day the interest of our children will be better served”.
The group hopes the demonstration will result in a call for action to advocate change against Yayo, 50 Cent and the music industry executives looking to profit from the violence and acts against youth in hip hop.
50 Cent and his attorney have maintained the rapper was not present during the incident and they are prepared to sue anyone who continues to say otherwise. The 14 yr old teen is standing by his story that puts 50 Cent at the scene.
Now I had the pleasure of hearing the phone interview Wendy Williams did with Cynthia Reed (mother of teen), Wendy asked Cynthia what Jimmy’s reaction is and being that she (Wendy) knows him, things are brewing and it will not be a good look for G-Unit. Cynthia did not comment on Jimmy’s plan. She was just very upset of course and you know she said, her disbelief was in the fact that Yayo (allegedly) backslapped her son, she doesn’t even hit her son and the nerve of a grown man putting his hand on a child is crazy.
It is going to be really interesting to see what Jimmy’s comments are and what his actions will be as a father. Stay tuned.
For those of you that would like to attend the event….A press conference will be held before the event @ 11 am Thursday at the Park Central Hotel, 870 7th Ave. (source allhiphop)
Sorry guys I am so late with this hope nobody missed it.
Till we meet again,
Faye
