Jimmy Henchman Pleads Not Guilty

 Rap Daily: James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond appeared in court yesterday in Brooklyn where he pleaded not guilty to a variety of charges stemming from an indictment accusing the mogul of dealing multiple kilos of cocaine.

Rosemond, who runs Czar Entertainment, was arrested yesterday in New York, after being a fugitive for over two weeks.

Due to his flight risk, a judge denied Rosemond bail and he is currently being housed at the Metropolitan Department Correctional (MDC) Facility in Brooklyn, New York.

When agents arrested him yesterday, Rosemond was carrying five BlackBerries, an iPad, two false drivers licenses and a fake passport, published reports said.

During the arrest, DEA agents found a plane ticket and learned that Rosemond was planning to leave the United States for the Bahamas on June 24th.

According to a new criminal complaint that was unsealed yesterday, Rosemond was dealing drugs as recent as May 11th.

A confidential witness named Winston Harris allowed agents to monitor the mogul's e-mails and even wore a wire during one of their alleged drug deals.

One of the correspondences reportedly shows Rosemond setting up a deal to sell over a kilo of cocaine in Brooklyn, but he couldn't execute the deal, because his car was not working. 

Rosemond is accused of being the leader of a large-scale narcotics trafficking organization, that dealt hundreds of kilos of cocaine since at least 2008. 

Rosemond's lawyer Jeffery Lichman vowed to fight the charges levied at the rap mogul, who is also being accused of helping to set up the murder of G-Unit associated Lowell "Lodi Mack" Fletcher.

Fletcher was shot and killed in the Bronx, apparently in retaliation for smacking Rosemond's son in March of 2007. 

“This indictment was built on the backs of witnesses that have been threatened and bribed by federal prosecutors," Rosemond's lawyer Jeffery Lichtman told The Wall Street Journal. "And I plan to expose all of it. If the government wants a fight, they’re going to get a fight.”

Ironically, James Rosemond is being housed in MDC, the same facility housing convicted murder, Dexter Isaac, who recently came forward with shocking allegations that Rosemond paid him to have Tupac Shakur beaten and robbed in November of 1994.

Rap Daily: Music mogul James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond who is at the centre of several serious allegations  was apprehended in New York City today  after a brief foot chase with NYPD.

According to reports, federal agents spotted the Hip-Hop mogul near The W Hotel around Union Street in midtown Manhattan early this morning.

He fled when approached by agents, who caught and tackled him, reports say.

Arresting agents apprehended Rosemond during the foot chase near E. 21st Street.

Rosemond is currently indicted for his role in a massive cocaine conspiracy ring, which allegedly shipped hundreds of kilos of cocaine to studios in New York and sent millions in proceeds to the West coast.

Two of Rosemond's associates have also been charged with the murder of Lowell "Lodi Mack" Fletcher, who was shot and killed in the Bronx.

Rosemond's capture today ended a two week manhunt that started on May 29th, when it was announced that federal agents were seeking him.

Last week, AllHipHop.com broke the news about Rosemond's alleged involvement in the 1994 shooting of Tupac Shakur, inside The Quad studios in Manhattan.

A convicted murderer and associate of Rosemond's named Dexter Isaac, claimed Rosemond paid him $2,500 to rob Shakur, who was subsequently shot five times.

Jimmy Henchman Ordered The Killing Of 50 Cent's Friend Exclusive

Rap Daily: Two associates of music manager James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond have been charged with the murder of superstar rapper 50 Cent's friend, after he allegedly smacked Rosemond's teenaged son in March of 2007.

Lowell "Lodi Mac" Fletcher was gunned down in September of 2009, shortly after he was released from prison for assaulting Rosemond's son with G-Unit associate, Tony Yayo.
 
Federal investigators believe that Rosemond hired two men to murder Fletcher inretaliation for the assault on his son, which occurred on West 25th street in Manhattan, just blocks away from Violator Management, which handles the careers of 50 and Tony Yayo. 

Henchman's son was wearing a Czar Entertainment shirt and walking to the offices of Rosemond's Czar Entertainment, which is on the same street as Violator's headquarters.

Fletcher along with Tony Yayo were accused of accosting and smacking Rosemond's son.

Fletcher was sentenced to jail time for his role in the assault, while Tony Yayo received probation for harassment charges.

Fletcher was shot and killed in the Bronx, just weeks after he was released from prison.
Now, two men associated with the Rosemond's cocaine dealing operation are accused of carrying out the hit on Fletcher.

Rodney Johnson, 37 and Brian McLeod, 40, were hired by persons known and unknown to murder Fletcher, in exchange for drugs.

The news of the murder charges comes as federal authorities investigate Rosemond, who is currently a fugitive on the run for cocaine distribution charges.

Rosemond is accused of trafficking hundreds-of-kilos of cocaine through various recording studios and using overnight delivery services to ship the proceeds back to the West coast.

Sources also told AllHipHop.com that Rosemond could be hit a RICO charge, due to his alleged ongoing criminal activities over the past 15 years.

Another source told  that Fletcher's murderers could have ties to the Jam Master Jay case.

A number of incidents are being investigated as part of the investigation into Rosemond, who has handled the careers of artists like Groove Theory, Brandy, Gucci Mane and The Game, whom he managed through the most tumultuous period of his career, shortly after his split with 50 Cent's G-Unit.

Game and Rosemond spearheaded the "G-Unot" campaign during the feud, which climaxed with a shooting in front of Hot 97 that left one man from California wounded.

Shortly afterwards, 50 Cent and Game publicly ended their feud, although incidents of violence continued to occur in the years after.

In 2006, Henchman was accused of assaulting a Washington, D.C.  DJ. 

In March of 2007, G-Unit cohorts Tony Yayo and an associate named Fletcher, were accused of striking Rosemond's son, who was 14-years-old at the time. 

In April of 2007, Tony Yayo's mother's house was sprayed with bullets, although no one was arrested for the incident. 

In January of 2008, a house belonging to a road manager associated with 50 Cent was shot up and firebombed, as well, just one day before Yayo's court appearance over the assault.

In May of 2008, a Dix Hills, Long Island mansion that was the center of a dispute between 50 Cent and his ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins burnt down, with Tompkins, 50 Cent's son Marquis and four other people inside.

In a previous interview, before the murder charges were unsealed, Violator CEO Chris Lighty spoke about the drug case relating to Henchman.

"I can't really worry about what's happening in his world," Chris Lighty told AllHipHop.com. "I can only worry about what's happening in mine....no real comment. Nobody wishes the feds on anybody because they're ugly beasts. It is what it is."
