Clayton Hill Confesses To Being An Accessory After The Fact To The Murder Of The Notorious B.I.G.

Exclusive: An inmate has come forward with possible confirmation of the man who murdered Biggie Smalls while implicating members of the Nation of Islam, including himself, in the cover-up.

Former Nation of Islam member, and currently incarcerated federal felon, Clayton Hill has confessed to his role as an accessory after the fact to the murder of The Notorious B.I.G.

After first contacting HipHopDX on June 8th, Hill disclosed to DX that in October of 2010 he met with Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy DePodesta and two agents with the F.B.I.’s Domestic Terrorism Unit and revealed that in May of 1997, while acting under orders as an official with Muhammad Mosque #15 in Atlanta, Georgia, he took possession of a semi-automatic handgun from a fellow N.O.I. member from Los Angeles, California who introduced himself as Dawoud Muhammad.

“[Dawoud Muhammad] stated to me that he was on the run for the murder [of The Notorious B.I.G.],” Hill wrote to HipHopDX via the CorrLinks email system for federal inmates. “He disclosed that he was the shooter of The Notorious B.I.G. because he (Dawoud) was a former Blood gang member and was paid to do so.”

In his forthcoming e-book, Diary of an Ex-Terrorist, Clayton quotes Dawoud bragging to him of that payment, “And I made twenty-five ‘g’s’ off that.”

Hill, who is currently residing in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown Chicago (inmate #61829019), convicted of Conspiracy to Defraud the United States and Identity Theft, examined pictures of both the long-suspected gunman and mastermind in the Notorious B.I.G. shooting, Amir Muhammad and David Mack, that were included in a magazine upon HipHopDX’s request.

Ann Arbor, MI -based bookseller Borders Group, reorganizing under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since February, has agreed to be purchased by Phoenix-based Najafi Cos.

The reported sale price is 215 million dollars, with Najafi assuming another 220 million dollars in debt.

Najafi owns the Book-of-the-Month Club, Doubleday Book Clubs and Columbia House.

The tentative agreement is known as a “stalking horse” bid, meaning a higher bid is possible at auction.  A federal bankruptcy judge has set a hearing date of July 21. Borders filed a motion to liquidate if the court does not approve an auction.

Borders, headquartered in Ann Arbor, began as a single store in 1971 and has grown to become the country’s second-largest brick-and-mortar bookseller after Barnes and Noble.

Borders has closed hundreds of stores since declaring bankruptcy and now operates about 400 outlets.

News Corp. (NWSA) agreed to sell Myspace to Specific Media Inc. for a fraction of what it paid six years ago, ending its efforts to turn around the money-losing social networking business.

News Corp. will receive $35 million, including a 5 percent stake in Specific Media, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. Specific Media announced the sale in a statement today, without providing the terms.

The accord rids News Corp. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rupert Murdoch of a website that lost its lead in social networking to Facebook Inc. after being acquired in 2005 in a $580 million deal. The company had sought about $100 million for Myspace after Chief Operating Officer Chase Carey said in February he wanted a deal completed by the June 30 end of the parent company’s fiscal year.

Nike Sold 500,000 LeBron Shoes Last Year
spotted: NBC
“Nike says it sold more than 500,000 pairs of LeBron shoes this year.”

All those shoes Nike sold underscore the strength of James’ brand. Despite turning much of America against him after his controversial Decision to team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, James remains a endorsement giant.

In April, the NBA announced James’ Heat jersey was the top seller at NBAStore.com for the 2010-2011 season. A month later, James rose to the 10th spot in Forbes’ “Celebrity 100” ranking, the highest position on the list of any basketball player and second only to Tiger Woods among athletes.

James’ marketing might figures to only get stronger as Nike expands its position in China, the world’s fastest-growing consumer base.

He still hasn’t won an NBA title, and may never pass Michael Jordan as one of the NBA’s greatest players, but LeBron James can at least make a compelling argument that in terms of merchandising, he’s already become the next Jordan.
Thoughts?

A black and red leather jacket worn by Michael Jackson in the music video for “Thriller” sold for $1.8 million at an auction in Los Angeles on Saturday, two years after the singer’s death.

The buyer, a Texan gold trader named Milton Verret, says he plans to use the iconic jacket to raise money for children’s hospitals around the world. Verret already has plans to display the jacket at the Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin, Texas.

Two versions of the jacket were made for the video. This version, with winged shoulders, was autographed by the late singer. Another version, which is scuffed from more intensive wear, is owned by the Michael Jackson estate.
