Y&R Mookey Receives 10-Year Sentence for Firearm Possession, Music Videos Used in Trial
Florida-based artist Y&R Mookey received a 10-year sentence this week after previously being convicted on a possession of a firearm charge. Both the sentence and the trial that preceded it have received nationwide attention, due in large part to the fact that music videos were utilized during the court proceedings.
Per a regional report from Jacksonville’s First Coast News, Mookey—a 23-year-old artist whose real name is Tyler Jackson—was sentenced on Tuesday to 10 years in the Florida Department of Corrections. Additionally, as Florida 4th Circuit Court Judge Meredith Charbula detailed during in-court comments, he was sentenced to five years of probation.
“Mr. Jackson, I watched the music videos and I have to say that I’m appalled at the content of them, at the direction,” Charbula said at the sentencing hearing. In an apparent passing reference to the defense that such works are examples of creative expression and should not be used in this capacity, the judge added, “It may have been some art but that wasn’t what it was for.”
Jackson, who was given credit for 739 previously served days, also spoke during Tuesday’s hearing.
“I want to stress that, I am not the person that the state is trying to make me out to be, by any means,” he told the court. “I am not a violent person. I don’t have any violent charges or a violent criminal background. I’m not no gang member, nor have I ever been a gang member or been guilty by association to any gang. I have no criminal history as an adult and I do my best not to have any encounters with the law enforcement.”

LeBron James Calls Lil Durk The Best Basketball Playing Rapper
Artists like Kanye West, Drake, Quavo, French Montana and others visit the NBA matches on several occasions, and J. Cole took his love for the game to another level as he played for a short time in Basketball African League. But the NBA legend LeBron James thinks there’s one rapper who’s better than all of them.
“Lil Durk,” he said on the latest episode of HBO’s Uninterrupted. “Lil Durk can hoop. And by the way, but this ain’t fair, because he actually… no this guy actually played ball though. J. Cole cool, but Sheck Wes, he was a real ballplayer though. Like he can hoop for real.”
He continued, “But Like Durk, he can hoop for real. Lil Durk, he’s got a f**king canon too. He got a peel. And he look like a motherf**ker that can.”
Lil Durk also responded to the praise from LeBron and wrote, “I don’t want to hear sh*t nomo from nobody lol let’s go.”

Family of Teen Who Fell to Death on Ride Says YK Osiris Lied About Paying for Funeral
YK Osiris offered to pay the funeral costs for a teenager named Tyre Sampson, who reportedly fell to his death from a free fall ride at Icon Park in Orlando. The tragic incident was caught on camera and unfortunately spread around the internet. Via social media, the rapper went on to say “If anybody knows his family, tell them to DM me because I want to pay for his funeral cost.” Now, the family of Sampson has called out YK, saying he used the young teen’s name for clout, as he never paid the costs to help the family, despite saying he did.
Tyre’s brother—Jrocc Jr. addressed the matter during a Facebook post, even providing screenshots to prove what YK Osiris didn’t do.
Another Facebook post found Jrocc providing an actual screenshot of donations on the GoFundMe page for his brother while addressing people who wanted to argue about the alleged YK Osiris donation.
