Rapper Twista Cheese used Instagram to broadcast his defiance and religious devotion just hours after being sentenced to over eight years in prison for a violent petrol station assault involving a homemade flamethrower in Birmingham.

The 32-year-old rapper didn’t stay quiet after a judge at Birmingham Crown Court labeled him a “dangerous offender” and handed down a lengthy sentence.

Instead, his Instagram account lit up with a series of raw, profanity-laced posts that mixed personal accountability with spiritual conviction, according to BirminghamLive.

“They can take away my freedom but they can’t take break my spirit ALLAh is the greatest everything is written alhamdulilah if I’m still alive will come out stronger and better inshallah,” he wrote.

The Instagram flurry followed an “Official Management Announcement” confirming Twista Cheese’s incarceration and hinting at a possible 2026 release. The statement encouraged followers to keep streaming his music.

“This is not the end – only a pause,” the post declared. Twista Cheese’s sentencing stemmed from a disturbing January incident at Holloway Head service station.

Prosecutors said he turned an aerosol can and a lighter into a flamethrower to blast fire at a shop worker after a dispute over a fuel charge and cigarettes.

Surveillance footage captured him climbing through the service window to continue the attack inside, then torching a Tango Ice Blast machine before heading outside and firing flames into the air near the gas pumps.

The court heard that the rapper shouted, “I’m a terrorist, I will kill you” and

“I will burn this shop and you also” before launching the assault. When he later called the police, he identified himself as “Satan” and told officers, “Allah told me to do that.”

His defense team pointed to his long-standing mental health issues, including schizophrenia and PTSD linked to his past in Somalia.

They also cited cannabis use as a factor that worsened his condition. Attorney Jasvir Mann said Twista Cheese showed “genuine remorse” when mentally stable.

But the judge wasn’t convinced. Recorder Sunil Khanna said the Drill rapper had expressed “terrorist ideologies” and “misogynist and racist views” during probation interviews, and ruled that he posed a high risk to the public.

On IG, Twista Cheese denied reports and suggested he was the victim in the whole ordeal.

“Shop keeper try rob me I payed for old white guy in the queue in the shop he try over charged me said I put petrol in the car then he gave my money back I gave him the money back he didn’t try give my cigrates and I crashed out what I done was unacceptable but f### it Allah is the greatest I’m going do my time come out stronger and better,” the rapper said.

The sentence includes six years and nine months in custody, plus a two-year extended license period after release to allow for close supervision.

The YouTuber’s health crisis comes after years of building a reputation through street interviews and documentaries that often placed him in dangerous situations. His content primarily focused on interviewing rappers in their neighborhoods, a practice that generated both massive viewership and significant controversy.

Collaborations with Machine Gun Kelly and fellow YouTuber Tommy G helped establish his credibility in entertainment circles, though his street-interview approach remained his primary claim to fame.

Most notably, Buckingham conducted what became the final interview with Philadelphia rapper YBC Dul, who was fatally shot just days after their conversation aired. The timing of YBC Dul’s death immediately following the interview sparked intense debate about the ethics of content creators profiting from dangerous street culture.

The controversy escalated when DJ Akademiks publicly criticized Buckingham, accusing him of exploiting YBC Dul’s death for views.

This led to a nasty public feud between the two media personalities, with Buckingham defending his journalism as Akademiks questioned his motives. Beyond his interview work, Buckingham also pursued a rap career, even releasing diss tracks during his conflict with Akademiks.

Earlier this week, Buckingham had informed followers that doctors suspected tuberculosis, septic pneumonia, or liver failure. He shared a photo showing himself with oxygen tubing, asking fans to pray for his recovery.

I almost died and I need your help – I don’t like to ask you guys for anything but I am in a dire situation and this is my only option. I’ve created a GoFundMe to help my family and I in this trying time – god bless everyone who has sent kind messages I really appreciate it. pic.twitter.com/t3ZWLqzAOo

In November, he was previously hospitalized but had been discharged after his condition stabilized. However, his latest update suggests a dramatic deterioration in his health status.

September brought additional challenges when Buckingham addressed mental health struggles while announcing his grandmother’s death. He wrote concerning messages about feeling more connected to deceased loved ones than living ones, prompting worry among his fanbase.

Despite the controversies surrounding his methods, Buckingham built a substantial following with 1.21 million YouTube subscribers.

His most recent content included a documentary filmed in Lebanon that examined homeless children in the Middle East, demonstrating his range beyond Hip-Hop interviews.

A Russian woman received a 12-and-a-half-year prison sentence after a Russian court convicted her of murdering and dismembering her rapper husband in a case that has captivated international attention for its gruesome details.

The 41-year-old widow collapsed and required medical assistance when the verdict was announced in the Russian courtroom, marking the end of a lengthy legal battle.

Her legal troubles started when Ukrainian rapper Alexander Yushko’s dismembered remains were discovered in 2020.

The rapper, who performed under the stage name Andy Cartwright, was allegedly killed by an insulin injection before Kokhal used a knife and hacksaw to dismember his body.

Court testimony revealed the dismemberment began while the victim was still alive, with one expert assessment determining the process started “a few minutes, dozens of minutes before death.”

According to The Sun, Prosecutors accused Kokhal of executing “the perfect murder,” though four separate expert examinations failed to definitively prove she was the killer.

The conviction came despite the lack of blood evidence at the couple’s St. Petersburg apartment, where investigators said all surfaces and utensils had been “washed with vinegar.”

The case took a disturbing turn when authorities alleged Kokhal engaged in necrophilia and cannibalism, claiming she “drank her dead husband’s blood and had sex with his corpse.”

Body parts were reportedly stored in the refrigerator, processed through washing machine cycles, and some remains were allegedly fed to rats in the yard.

Kokhal maintained her innocence throughout the proceedings, insisting Yushko died from a drug overdose.

She claimed her actions were motivated by a desire to protect his reputation from the “inglorious” circumstances of his death, wanting to shield his fans from knowledge of his addiction struggles.

The Ukrainian-born rapper was reportedly having a secret affair with a fan at the time of his death, adding another layer of complexity to the domestic tragedy. Court records indicate the couple had been experiencing marital difficulties before the fatal incident occurred.

During her final court appearance, Kokhal stated that all her actions were aimed at “protection from evil,” but offered no further explanation before fainting when the sentence was delivered.

Stormzy confirmed the death of his seven-year-old Rottweiler Enzo through an emotional Instagram tribute.

The British Hip-Hop star shared multiple video clips honoring his protection dog, whom he originally acquired in 2018 during his relationship with television presenter Maya Jama.

“RIP my no.1 boy. Don’t have much to say, just gutted and heartbroken. I love you so so so much my boy,” Stormzy wrote in his Instagram post. “If you know me then you know how much Enz meant to me, gonna miss you my guy.”

The rapper invested approximately $20,000 in the trained protection dog during the height of his career success. Enzo, also known as “Enz,” served as both a companion and a security guard for the “Vossi Bop” artist throughout his rise in the British Hip-Hop scene.

According to reports, celebrity protection dogs, such as Rottweilers, have become increasingly common among high-profile artists seeking both companionship and security.

The 32-year-old artist disabled comments on his tribute post, though fans have since reshared the post across social media to express their condolences.

Stormzy had a deep bond with his pet, with Enzo frequently appearing in the rapper’s social media content over the years.

Stormzy and Maya Jama announced their final separation in July 2025 after rekindling their romance in August 2023. The former couple dated for 5 years before splitting in 2019 and both parties confirmed their recent breakup was permanent.

The loss comes as Stormzy continues his successful music career, having established himself as one of Britain’s most prominent grime and Hip-Hop artists.

His previous chart-topping singles include “Shut Up” and “Big For Your Boots,” which helped continue his domination over the UK music charts.

A Pennsylvania woman is outraged after Wells Fargo allowed 120 fraudulent charges totaling more than $7,000 on her account. And getting the bank’s help resolving the situation wasn’t easy.

In a video with over 200,000 views and over 3,000 comments, TikTok creator @momoftwoboys6363 explains why she’s over $7,000 in negative in her Wells Fargo account.

She says that she received a text message from Wells Fargo at 3:00 a.m. asking if she approved of a recent transaction. Except, of course, @momoftwoboys6363 was sleeping and was unable to reply to the message.

Wells Fargo Allowed 120 Fraudulent Cash App Charges

“And when I woke up at 7 a.m., I responded, ‘No. I did not approve that transaction,’” she says. Then, she realized that, while she was asleep, the bank then allowed 120 transactions totaling $7,173 to process on her account.

She says the transactions on the account revealed that it was fraud via Cash App and even showed the names of the people who had stolen the money in the transactions. @momoftwoboys6363 called Pennsylvania state police, Wells Fargo, and Cash App, according to a follow up video.

Unfortunately, as of her latest follow-up video from two weeks after the incident happened, @momoftwoboys636 still has not gotten her money back.

“Still no money, still no update on Wells Fargo. It’s been past 10 days and my case is still closed. Yeah, nothing. Bank account still negative thousands,” she says.

Wells Fargo and Customer Complaints

In 2016, Wells Fargo lost its accreditation with the Better Business Bureau due to a high number of complaints. The bank is actually ranked as the bank with the greatest amount of customer complaints with Citibank and Bank of America coming in second and third.

According to a Wells Fargo help page, if you suspect fraud on your account you should immediately call the bank. The bank promises to resolve claims within 10 business days or it will issue a temporary credit.

It’s hard to tell which cases will get refunded and which won’t. There are several factors that go into the investigation.

Viewers React to the Wells Fargo Horror Story

“I can’t stand Wells Fargo! I switched to a credit union years ago,” said one commenter.

“Well Fargo is horrible. They do not protect their customers. Happened to me a few years ago. I closed and moved banks. Worst bank in history,” wrote a second person.

“I was literally just about to open a Wells Fargo account. I’ll go elsewhere! This is insane!” a third person said.

“I will never understand why people bank with Wells Fargo or Bank of America anymore. I hear so many horror stories about those two banks,” another person wrote.
