The filings were a response to motions by Kelly’s attorney last month alleging prosecutors misused a federal statute meant to go after gang leaders and that Kelly’s ineffective lawyers failed to keep jurors off the panel who’d been tainted by what they’d seen or read about Kelly’s exploits. Kelly, 54, was convicted Sept. 27 in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn on racketeering c...

Tekashi 6ix9ine found himself his first musical ally outside of prison -- and it's already proving to be fruitful ... with a remix on the horizon that'll get your 2000s taste buds tingling.
