Sada Baby Arrested on Drug Charges
Detroit rapper Sada Baby has been arrested on drug charges stemming from a traffic stop that occurred several months ago, The Detroit News reports.
The rapper, real name Casada Sorrell, is being held in Macomb County Jail after being taken into custody Tuesday night, April 8, on a warrant accusing him of possession of less than 25 grams of narcotics. Court records show he has not yet been arraigned, nor has a hearing been scheduled.

A lawyer for Sorrell did not immediately return Rolling Stone's request for comment.
Sorrell was originally arrested in January during a traffic stop. At the time, police pulled him over at around 4 a.m. because of his tinted windows. Upon checking the vehicle's license plate, they learned that Sorrell had an outstanding warrant from 2023 for driving without a valid license. (Last month, Sorrell pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to display a valid license and was ordered to pay a $200 fine.)
During the stop, police searched Sorrell's car and said they found 'possible illegal contraband' (via Fox 2 Detroit). That part of the case remained open as police sent the substance away for testing. Sorrell's arrest this week after the test results came back positive for narcotics (based on court records, it appears the substance was allegedly cocaine).
Sada Baby rose to prominence in Detroit's rap scene in the late 2010s with successful singles like 'Aktivated' and 'Pressin' with King Von. He enjoyed his biggest year in 2020, dropping his proper debut album, Skuba Sada 2, his popular mixtape Bartier Bounty 2, and scoring a hit single with 'Whole Lotta Choppas,' which got a remix featuring Nicki Minaj.

Judge Orders Trump to Return National Guard Control to Newsom
A federal judge has ordered President Donald Trump to return control of the California National Guard to Gov. Gavin Newsom. The Trump administration is expected to appeal the order, which takes effect Friday at noon Pacific time. On June 6, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids targeted warehouses, clothing manufacturers, and Home Depot parking lots across Los Angeles, prompting a wave of local protests. Trump seized the opportunity to exert control over the state, deploying 2,000 National Guard troops into the city despite protests from both Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. In his evaluation of California's request for a temporary restraining order against the federal government, Judge Charles Breyer of the Federal District Court in San Francisco determined Trump did not follow the 'congressionally mandated procedure for his actions.' 'His actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution,' wrote Breyer in his order Thursday. 'He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.' The news of the ruling was announced on the same day Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) was dragged out of a Department of Homeland Security press conference, forced to the ground, and handcuffed by members of the FBI after attempting to ask DHS Secretary Kristi Noem a question. Padilla said in a press conference outside the building that he was 'there peacefully' and was hoping to get answers from the administration about their immigration policies. 'I began to ask a question,' the senator recalled, delivering his remarks both English and Spanish. 'I was forced to the ground and I was handcuffed,' he said, clarifying: 'I was not arrested. I was not detained.' Padilla then directly addressed reporters: 'If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing do farmers… and day laborers.' Earlier this week, Newsom called out Trump's 'theatrical display of toughness' and said the president has 'crossed a red line in this country.' When speaking with Pod Save America, the California governor responded to threats of arrest by the president and his administration, while also lambasting Trump for inciting chaos, using valuable resources, and militarizing city from Rolling Stone Trump 'Doesn't Speak With Precision,' Justice Department Tells Judge California Senator Handcuffed, Manhandled at Kristi Noem Press Conference Hamas Attacks Aid Group, Challenging Israel's Gaza Plan Best of Rolling Stone The Useful Idiots New Guide to the Most Stoned Moments of the 2020 Presidential Campaign Anatomy of a Fake News Scandal The Radical Crusade of Mike Pence

Funk-rock music pioneer, frontman of revolutionary band dies at 82
Sly Stone, the frontman of the revolutionary band Sly and the Family Stone, has died following several health issues. He was 82. 'It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved dad, Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone,' his family said in a statement, according to PEOPLE. 'After a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues, Sly passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his extended family,' the statement continued. 'While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come.' Born March 15, 1943, in Denton, Texas, Stone helped pioneer the emerging psychedelic soul movement in the 1960s and '70s with his genre-blending group. Sly and the Family Stone is considered rock's first group to incorporate the sounds of funk, soul, R&B, rock and psychedelic music. 'James Brown may have invented funk, but Sly Stone perfected it,' AllMusic wrote. 'His alchemical fusion of soul, rock, gospel, and psychedelia rejected stylistic boundaries as much as his explosive backing band the Family Stone ignored racial and gender restrictions, creating a series of euphoric yet politically charged records that proved a massive influence on artists of all musical and cultural backgrounds.' Sly and the Family Stone is also considered the first major American rock group to have a racially integrated, mixed-gender lineup. Originally formed in 1966, the group's core lineup consisted of Stone alongside his brother, Freddie Stone, sister Rose Stone, Cynthia Robinson, Greg Errico, Jerry Martini and Larry Graham. Sly and the Family Stone racked up more than a dozen songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including five top 10 hits. The group's three No. 1 hits are 'Everyday People,' 'Family Affair' and 'Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)'/'Everybody Is a Star.' The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 and were ranked 43rd on Rolling Stone's list of the '100 Greatest Artists of All Time' in 2010. Three of the group's albums — 'Stand,' 'There's a Riot Goin' On' and 'Greatest Hits' — were also included on Rolling Stone's most recent list of the '500 Greatest Albums of All Time.' Despite Sly and the Family Stone fizzling out by 1975, Stone continued to record and tour with a new rotating lineup. He released his debut solo album 'High on You' that same year. Stone remained active in the industry until drug problems forced his effective retirement in 1987. His final solo album, 'I'm Back! Family & Friends,' was released in 2011.
