One of the men convicted in the 2002 killing of RUN-DMC’s DJ, Jam Master Jay, just had his murder conviction overturned last week — a big surprise for Darryl McDaniels!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the legendary DMC walking our way in New York City on Monday, and he didn’t even let us finish our sentence … he had just heard the news!!!

On Friday, a U.S. District Judge granted Karl Jordan Jr. an acquittal on the murder charges handed down in Feb. 2024, citing an overall lack of evidence.

Jordan’s co-defendant, Ronald Washington, remains incarcerated for the murder. The judge argued he had the biggest motivation to kill JMJ stemming from a failed drug deal.

Tory Lanez revealed in his first interview from prison last week that he had new evidence favorable to his appeal after his conviction for shooting Megan The Stallion, and it turns out, the rapper wasn’t BS-ing, and he’s now going after the former Los Angeles D.A. … TMZ has learned.

Here’s the deal … Tory’s team submitted an official report to the court with testimony from a software expert who reviewed Megan’s medical records after Meg was shot by Tory that fateful night in 2020.

After the review, the expert signed the report claiming there were 60 fraudulent errors in the medical findings presented at Tory’s 2022 trial by then-L.A. County District Attorney, George Gascon. As you know, Tory was convicted of shooting Megan and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Tory, though, has always maintained his innocence.

And get this … Tory’s team says Megan committed insurance fraud after she received surgery following the shooting. Team Tory says Megan billed Blue Cross $118,000 for the surgery on her injured foot, which they claim lasted only 60 seconds — a medical impossibility!

Furthermore, Tory’s lawyers say the surgeon, Dr. Little, failed to testify during the trial and now cannot be found.

As you know, Tory sat for his first on-cam interview last Friday since his conviction … and he talked all about his case with an NBC News reporter, saying at one point they were never provided with hundreds of pages of Megan’s medical records that hurt their defense at trial.

Shaun Weiss is ready to pay it forward … after rebounding from drug addiction and homelessness, the “Mighty Ducks” star wants to help fellow former child actor Tylor Chase with a similar battle.

Fans will remember Tylor as Martin Qwerly from Nickelodeon’s “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide” in the early 2000s … but a viral video has shown him now living on the streets in California.

Comedian Russell Peters is the one who showed Shaun the video of 36-year-old Tylor, seen with disheveled hair, wearing a Las Vegas Raiders polo and oversized ripped jeans he holds up with his hands.

Shaun says Tylor was supposedly last seen at the Westgate Plaza in Riverside, California, but he’s still trying to get a hold of him.

A previous video of Tylor prompted fans to launch a GoFundMe campaign, which was later ended by Tylor’s mother, who insisted her son needed medical attention, not money.

Shaun can relate to what Tylor is going through. He was living on the streets in 2020 when he seemingly hit rock bottom with an arrest for burglary and meth.

In the years since, Shaun’s cleaned up his act and gotten back into Hollywood … landing a movie gig and doing standup comedy.
