Noah Settles, the D.C. rapper who goes by the name No Savage, is facing robbery and assault charges in Prince George’s County Circuit Court.

County prosecutors say Settles, 26, and three other men walked into Silesia Convenience in Fort Washington and “began picking items off the shelves and counter,” according to the charging document.

“Then they all stated, ‘everything was free today,’” and told the clerk, “Don’t do anything stupid or we will shoot you,” according to a detective’s affidavit.

Court records allege that the men took cigarettes, vape pens, candy, condoms and packaged noodles.

A Metropolitan Police Department detective recognized Settles as one of the suspected robbers due in part to his “notoriety as a local rapper,” according to the affidavit.

The alleged robbery took place in January, but Settles wasn’t charged until March. He was granted home detention in May, court records show, but violated those terms in August when he cut off his ankle monitor. There is an active warrant for his arrest, according to the Prince George’s County state’s attorney’s office.

Settles’ lawyer, CT Wilson, has filed motions to suppress evidence and dismiss the case. A judge has yet to rule on those motions. Wilson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The case is set to go to trial in September.

Settles grew up in Southeast D.C. and attended Washington Metropolitan High in 2018. He dropped out to pursue a music career, according to Washington City Paper.

He has been releasing music since at least 2019 and has amassed more than 125,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. He was featured on “Playing the Fifty,” a track by Young Don that made The Banner’s list of the best local rap and R&B for the first half of 2022. Settles’ most recent single, “Anti Social,” was released in February.

Settles was previously sentenced to three years in prison for firing a gun inside Tysons Corner Center mall in northern Virginia on Father’s Day weekend in 2022. No one was shot, but three people were reportedly injured when the mall was evacuated. Settles was also sentenced to 10 years’ probation and barred from returning to the mall.

In addition to the charges in Prince George’s County, Settles is facing felony charges in D.C. related to illegal possession of a firearm. The docket in that case indicates that in December 2025, Settles was in the Psychiatric Institute of Washington and was scheduled to be transferred to an inpatient drug treatment program.

I lived in Prince George's County, MD my whole life and I feel it shouldn't be so dang hard to find a professional natural hair salon. I mean a real salon; I do not want to go over anyone's house and have them play in my hair in their living room. I want a real shop with professional hair cutters that specialize in natural hair. I don't want to get there and they seem shocked that I didn't ask them to install a wig/braids. I also want the price to be consistent and not upcharge me cause they are tired or just feel like it for no reason.

I had a place like this before but all the best stylists went off to just do hair in their living room hours away from my house.

Does anyone have a PROFESSIONAL natural hair salon location in PG, county that they recommend?

We’re considering buying a home in the Tantallon/Fort Washington area and would love to hear from people who actually live there or know the area well.

A little about us: We’re a married couple with one child. We currently live in Alexandria and have essentially outgrown our house. We’re looking for more house for our money. We come from large families and host a lot, so we need space. We also have a pitbull mix, so having outdoor space would be a huge plus.

My husband plays golf at Tantallon and really enjoys the neighborhood, which is what initially got us looking in the area.

Our child will be attending private school in Old Town, so we’ll still be in Alexandria regularly. We have a pretty busy schedule in the Alexandria area and plan to continue doing a lot of our shopping, restaurants, activities, and socializing there.

One of us works remotely, but I typically work from coffee shops in Old Town rather than staying home all day. My husband would be commuting for work. He actually doesn’t mind commuting because he listens to podcasts and considers it his downtime, so the commute itself isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker for us.

We also really value diversity and would love to live somewhere with a good mix of different races, backgrounds, and family types. We want more space and affordability, but we also really want to know our neighbors, make friends, and become regulars somewhere locally when we have the time. A neighborhood restaurant, bar, coffee shop, etc.

For those who live in Tantallon, Fort Washington, or nearby:

• How do you actually like living there day to day?
• Do you feel like there’s a real sense of community?
• Are there local restaurants/bars/coffee shops where people become regulars and socialize?
• Are there water activities?
• How difficult is it to get back and forth to Alexandria?
• How realistic is it to maintain an active social life in Alexandria while living there?
• Anything about the area that you wish you had known before buying?
• And most importantly… would you make the move again?

We’re trying to balance affordability and space with still having a community feel and being reasonably close to the places that are important to us.

We’d especially appreciate honest opinions - the good, the bad, and the “here’s what you’re going to regret after living there for two years.”

Thanks in advance!

Resident at Motiva Apartment Homes (MURN properties, Wilton Investment group) looking for anyone that lives or lived there.

I’m interested in hearing whether others have experienced similar issues.

I created a free tenant app with resources, and a way for residents to report. This is a resident-led effort.

Hi! I’m looking to thrift leather bags (I love vintage coach) and would love recommendations of where you ladies have had luck! I have a car so I’m okay with traveling anywhere in the DMV.

I feel like I’m so bad at thrifting but have had a little luck lately and found 1 bag acceptable for commuting purposes but I’m looking to get a few more. Also would help if the stores have a good clothing selection! Don’t care about designer or branded, just looking for some cute clothes for everyday wear. For clothes I really like uptown cheapskate in college park for reference. I appreciate any recommendations💜

Be honest.

Question: I recently retired from the military and thought it would be a good idea to move in the middle of my family and my husband family, in Pennsylvania. Well........ I dont think we made the right decision. My kid goes to a great rated high school, and has always been a straight A student, but I am seeing some microaggressions and hearing about some at the school. My kid is one of the maybe 10-20 blk kids in a school of 3500 kids. smh. My kid is a junior now and we will let them graduate since they moved around so much but we started over again and have 2 little ones not in school yet, well they will be starting school around 2028. What's a good upscale blk state, city, and/or neighborhood these days. I am from Maryland, Baltimore specifically and my fathers side is in DC. I was told PG county has good upscale blk communities. Back in the day it was very different. If this is true we will be moving in about 2 yrs. just curious on where is good. Where we live is mostly white but the city we are closet too is not bad, just not enough space. Thanks for reading.

I'd like a place with at least some young folks, but I'm mostly going to commute. Heard that it's kind of aging, but I like the concept of how the town works & I'm looking for a suburb that's not total concrete hell and in a sitch where DC is somewhat accessible for work & socializing. Also somewhere relatively trans-accepting. Anything else is a plus.

I'm from a rural area (Carroll County), so sleepy burbs are still buzzing compared to my life, but I'd like some minor liveliness.

Visiting for the next few weeks and looking for some pickup basketball. Preferably chill indoor runs with adults.

I feel as its pretty much the only place in America (other than here/HoCo) that's made for me and my many identities (gay, black, autistic, atheist, multicultural loving nerdy) but I'm getting the feeling there's some sort of bad blood between PGC and MoCo. As I make the move from Mississippi to Rockville, I'd like to come to PGC to truly experience what black success looks like.

Join us this Wednesday at 7 PM for a Hyattsville Police & Public Safety Advisory Committee meeting, featuring a presentation from the Hyattsville Police Department on how Flock cameras are used in the city.
