A third man, who was indicted for the 2021 killing of Young Dolph, is the father of slain rapper Lotta Cash Desto.

Fans of Memphis rapper Young Dolph are reacting to the arrest of a third man Hernandez Govan, 43, who was indicted for first-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.

Police sources say that Govan was the mastermind behind Dolph’s murder, and he had been plotting to kill the rapper months before. News reports say Govan asked for Dolph to be killed. His reasons for wanting to kill the rapper remains unknown as prosecutors declined to give further details about his indictment.

Hernandez Govan, along with Justin Johnson, 23, and Cornelius Smith, 32, are all now heading for trial for Young Dolph’s murder on November 17, 2021.

As news broke about Govan’s role in the killing of the rapper, fans of Young Dolph began to dig into his personal life and found that his daughter and rapper Lotta Cash Desto, real name Destinee Govan, who is an artist affiliated with Lil Uzi Vert was recently killed, and many are now of the view that her death may have been a reprisal for Young Dolph’s killing.

Lotta Cash Desto, who is a Memphis native, was shot and killed in Houston, Texas, on September 24. She was close with Lil Uzi Vert, who called her his “sister” or “twin,” and they worked on songs like “Lunchroom,” and the February track “Vegas.”

On Friday, several of Govan’s posts on Facebook went viral as many dug into his personal life. One particular post shared by him hinted that Govan believed his daughter was killed because of his involvement in street life.

“Dis da night my daughter came to my birthday set after I told her to stay at home! We was checking each other all night! I told her ‘U got so much it got u cocky cus u wore them ugly ass flip flops’ she said daddy they know how im coming im on google,” he said in a caption for a photo of his daughter and her friends.

Shortly after her death, Govan shared an emotional post on his Facebook page. “5 yrs ago u knew before everyone what u wanted to do,” he wrote. “It aint a girl in the rap game that can say they accomplished what you did independently. You didnt wait on nobody u was a hustler like your dad. If u didnt have it today u was gone figure it out by tomorrow. I dont know how I found the strength to move your furniture today your spirit had to be pushing me baby. Im about to drop to my knees and pray because I gotta come see u in the morning & baby I just dont know how tf im gone do it.”

Govan is also said to be a colleague of Yo Gotti’s brother Jook. A photo of him and Jook at a club last week has now gone viral on social media. Many fans of Dolph have been speaking about Dolph and Yo Gotti’s beef in Memphis, which has been nothing short of polarizing.

“Wait!! His daughter is a rapper she was just murdered a few months ago she was signed to lil Uzi vert. They got a picture of him & yo Gotti brother floating around, might be more to this story frfr,” a commenter wrote on Facebook.

“Looking at Yo Gotti like [musing emoji] We investigating Gotti and keep running into to your people. I ain’t saying he did it but he definitely knows who did,” another wrote.

In the meantime, Memphis police have not drawn a link between the murder of Young Dolph to that of Desto.

Young Dolph was shot and killed while buying treats inside Makeda’s Homemade Cookies on November 17, 2021. His brother was also with him but escaped unharmed. An autopsy revealed that the rapper was shot 22 times about the body and died on his scene.

Rihanna is a proud super mom and likens motherhood to a whole new book on life.

Fans of the Bajan superstar will have to wait a little longer before they can see the Navy baby as Rihanna says she and her partner A$AP Rocky are being cautious. RiRi gave birth in May this year, and fans have had a ball of a time seeing the “Umbrella” artist enjoy her pregnancy with her unconventionally refreshing pregnancy fashion looks. Speaking with the Associated Press, the pop singer confirmed that she had a baby boy and spoke candidly about why she has not shared her baby with the world.

“We just didn’t get around to it yet really,” she begins.

The new mother did not share any more details about her son, not even his pinky toe, although he is approaching the six-month mark soon. Rihanna, however, says she and Rocky are enjoying their parenting journey despite the restrictions they’ve put on themselves.

“We’ve just been living but I guess there’s just a certain freedom that comes with kinda just like getting it out there. The challenge is we want to go to the park, we want to go everywhere, take walks and things as we want to do as parents with him but since we haven’t gotten around to sharing him with the world, we have to navigate it extremely extremely cautiously right now,” she said.

The “Lift Me Up” artist also spoke with Access Hollywood, who asked her about having her son, coming back to handle business, releasing new music, and even rehearsing and getting ready for her Super Bowl performance in February.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky at the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever premiere in Los Angeles, October 26, 2022.

When asked if she planned to have the baby, Rihanna said, “can you plan a baby like that? The baby comes into play and then everything shifts cause that’s the number one priority. You can’t delay a baby you can’t be like push back the due date; it’s coming. So things are gonna have to adjust, that’s a challenge in itself and I love it.”

She also spoke about getting back to her routine post-pregnancy, noting that she started working three days after giving birth.

“It’s crazy, actually getting back in heels was tough. I wore heels throughout my entire pregnancy and after you give birth it’s like ‘oh sh*t’ this is different but getting back into making music, and into studio, and back at work, I was back at work three days after I give birth,” Rihanna said.

The artist shared that she began working on the new Savage X Fenty show and the Fenty Sport line right after giving birth.

“There are also other dates you can’t push back…things like Sport, if I didn’t get on that call honestly we wouldn’t have [Fenty] Sport be a part of this show,” she said.

When asked about her decision to headline the Super Bowl Halftime show, Rihanna shared that she took a while to make up her mind.

“It was definitely not ‘yeah’, it was like let me think about it, and I delayed it and delayed it and it was probably one of the latest announcements that they’ve had but I really started to think about it and truly started to consider it when I was going through my music,” she said she became convinced that her catalog is superior enough for the performance.

In the meantime, the singer-songwriter, actress, and billionaire businesswoman also spoke about her relationship with A$AP Rocky and the early stages of motherhood.

According to her, she was overwhelmed and so intimidated by the idea of taking the Super Bowl stage, but the father of her child Rocky was also one of her biggest supporters.

“He was like ‘you got this, you can do this’… it’s amazing to have a friendship like be the center of our entire family and I really love it,” she said about the Mercer + Prince businessman and rapper.

As for her baby boy, the Barbadian National Hero also spoke glowingly about her son’s eyes and experiencing motherhood.

“So motherhood is a whole other beast. So life starts over when you become a parent. It’s like life like you’ve never known before it’s like you get a second full book it’s not a chapter, like a new book completely,” she said.

She continued, “the beginning it’s like you’re tripping acid every day, it’s wild and trippy…You look at him and he’s yours but he’s a stranger and he’s new and you’re learning as he’s learning you and the world. It’s an amazing experience honestly but the thing I really like is his eye contact that’s some awesome sh*t…when he looks at me in my eyes my whole soul is like, I can’t tell if it’s cold or hot, it’s amazing.”

The artist declined to say if her son had eyes like hers, which has sparked the curiosity of fans online who hope to get a glimpse of baby Rakim and Rihanna soon.

In the meantime, fans aren’t just waiting to see the artist’s baby; they might be waiting for music longer than they want.

Rihanna also addressed the calls from fans for new music after she announced her Super Bowl performance.

“Super Bowl is one thing, new music is another thing, do you hear that fans?” the Pop star said as she laughed.

She continued, “because I knew the second that I announce this they’re gonna think my album is coming, I need to get to work.”

Reggae singer Ky-Mani Marley was arrested by the Pembroke Pines Police Department during a traffic stop on Thursday in Florida for driving on a suspended license.

The Jamaican actor/musician, who is said to have tried to post bail on Thursday night, is facing a two-month jail sentence and could be fined up to US$500, given that he is a first-time offender. In Florida, a second offense could see that fine increased to $1000, and jail time could end up being a year behind bars.

Broward Sheriff Office Public Information Office senior officer, Carey Codd, confirmed Friday morning the reports of the arrest and mentioned that jail records showed that Marley is out of custody.

The Grammy nominee rose to prominence with his raw, unadulterated, gruff sound, which captures the listener and reverberates the essence of his life story. The 46-year-old has produced notable songs such as “Dear Dad,” “I Pray,” “Ghetto Soldier,” as well as “Fist Full of Dollars.”

Marley has also built a career as an actor, starring alongside fellow Reggae artiste Spragga Benz in the iconic Jamaican film Shottas in 2002.

Ky-Mani Marley is Bob Marley’s second eldest son, and unlike his brothers, who are primarily reggae musicians, he went into acting and film production at an early age. Despite being more famous for his many movie roles, Ky-Mani is still as prolific as his brothers on the microphone.

Ky-Mani Marley is currently out on bail.
