RadioOnFire.com - 2017 won't be as easy as Plies set out for it to be, as it is reported that his driver's license has been suspended for 1 year.
The Fort Myers rapper faces charges in connection with a January arrest for DUI. A dash cam recording of him being detained recently surfaced to show Plies complying with police as they went into his pockets and he confided in having been in possession of a registered fire arm. The footage was taken moments after officers cited the rapper zooming in the wrong direction down a one-way street.
It remains to be seen how Plies will adapt to being without a ride, as the driver's seat is what has coincidentally helped him drive his marketing. Followers on Instagram have come to acquaint the chatty Floridian with his regular posting of witty videos from behind the wheel.
The state's decision to revoke the rapper's license comes as a formality which establishes that citizens automatically forfeit their driving privileges when they refuse breath, urine or blood testing for alcohol. Plies reportedly turned down a Breathalyzer test during his arrest.

RadioOnFire.com - Charles Oakley addressed the question as to whether he believes James Dolan is racist on two different occasions on Thursday, February 16. And while he wouldn't outright attach the label to him, neither would he rule it out, affirming in one interview that he sees the New York Knicks owner on the same "level" as embattled former L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling. He also backtracked from suggesting that he knows him to be a racist, but still citing that he's "heard stuff," in a later interview.
"He's a control freak. He's got everybody in the Garden on pins and needles. The other owners know this, that's the bad thing about it ... They're going to let this end up happening like something that happened to the LA Clippers. It's that bad, but they won't talk about it. It's that bad," Oakley told Sports Illustrated's Maggie Gray. Gray then pushed referenced Sterling, who fans will recall having been forced to sell the Clippers after he was recorded making racist statements in 2014. And Oakley responded to her inquiry into whether he would compare the two owners by saying, "He's on the level. I mean, you can build a house, or you can build a pyramid. And this man has been around for a long time; I ain't heard nothing good about him."
Soon after the SI interview, TMZ caught up with Oakley, and he was again asked whether he sees Dolan heading down the path Sterling did. The former Knicks favorite admitted that he hasn't ever met Dolan and thus would not personally know, "But there's a lot of stuff going on. When people start talking about stuff over and over and over, sooner or later, you know, wait till the truth comes out," he said.
Earlier this week, Dolan and Oakley were brought together by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in a meeting that involved a conference call from Michael Jordan. It had been reported that Dolan extended an olive branch to Charles by lifting the ban and saying that he looks forward to the day they can sit together and enjoy a game, but Oakley came out the gate saying he still needs time to consider the invitation. Among Oakley's grievances are the accusations the Knicks organization publicly made about him, particularly one which suggested him to be an alcoholic. Oakley reiterated his unwillingness to move past the situation at this point, stating, "Somebody's gotta step up for something that happened in the old days, and is still happening in this day in age."
RadioOnFire.com - Criminal charges are pending against NFL cornerback Darrelle Revis, following a physical altercation that Pittsburgh police have confirmed involved the New York Jets star. There are conflicting reports as to how the incident unfolded and who the aggressor was, but what investigators have disclosed is that two men have had witnesses back their claim that they were assaulted by Revis, while his spokespeople contend that his actions were a matter of self-defense.
According to reports, Revis was in town to visit family and to scope out a site he is in the process of developing, when at 2:43 am an argument broke out between Revis and a 22-year-old man who had begun recording video of him. "At some point, Revis snatched the cellphone away and attempted to delete the video," a statement supplied to police reads. The veteran defenseman is then said to have tossed the phone into the street, prompting a 21-year-old witness to retrieve it. Witnesses have come forward to claim that both men would find themselves on the opposite end of Revis' punches, resulting in them allegedly being knocked out for 10 minutes.
Revis' attorney has given a different account of what happened, detailing how he says the football veteran knocked the cell phone to the ground after he was shoved by one of the men. Revis would subsequently find himself being attacked by up to 5 men, his attorney says. "He feared for his safety," his lawyer says. He is reported to have sought medical attention after the incident.
Revis has yet to be arrested, but faces a slew of charges, including robbery, making terroristic threats, conspiracy, and aggravated assault.
