Julius Floyd (aka Young Boss), owner of Hoodboy Records, hosted a high-profile party at the club last month, according to Fox 4. After he was paying the DJs at the end of the night, Floyd went downstairs only to allegedly find Del Hedgepath, the owner of Club NRG, touching Floyd's ladyfriend.
"What are you doing, she tells you she's with me and we are about to leave, I'm paying the DJ's and what are you doing putting your hands on a female anyway?" Floyd recounted to Fox 4. When Floyd confronted him, Hedgepath then supposedly reached his hand around a bouncer, slapped Floyd's face, and jumped back behind the bouncer to hide in the safe and secure folds of the bouncer's bulk.
Floyd says he defended himself and was tackled by the bouncers. He decided to file a police report rather than settling the score at the club. Now Hedgepath is charged with assault. Said Floyd to Fox 4:
"Other club owners take their business serious. They are there for longevity of business, not just about the money. With (Hedgepath), it's all about the money."
(In fact, there's a book written about Hedgepath's love of money. If you'd like to learn how to rake in dough the Hedgepath way, consider purchasing the book Rags to Riches: Motivating Stories of How Ordinary People Achieved Extraordinary Wealth!. He's Chapter One.)
Those without a taste for the dramatic are growing sick of NRG's mayhem. Back when NRG was called Club NV, it was fined and suspended. Now, the city is willing to hold off on zapping Club NRG on two conditions: that Hedgepath sells the club by November 30, and that he never be involved with the club's management again.

yea, he is a crook. And his sister is not much better. She is rude to everyone that goes in the nasty club.

I know him I think he is a nice person.. You all need to stop showing how jealoous you are of someone who has money... And to the one who says they lived abouve NRG... Hello are you stupid?????"
How do you think he got rich? I assume he bilked EVERYONE out of their security deposits at all of his buildings just by the amount of people that posted here. Yeah he has money, OTHER PEOPLE'S money, you twit.

Jealous because he has money??? His reputation across this city is well known and he treats people like sh*t unless they have some coke to shove up his nose. You can have all the money in the world but you can't polish a turd! I'll reiterate what someone else said:
Hey, Del, if you're reading this - EAT S#!T & DIE.
Oh! Anthony.... And how many clubs have you owned? That's what I thought..........
This is the classic story of how the love of money is the root of all evil. How ever much there is, there isn't enough, not enough security, power, prestige, and not enough status and attention that can be had by the one who lives and works for it as his hearts desire. The money, the club is all about the insatiable desire to be known and admired. It's all too sad and it always leads to lives being wasted and destroyed......squandered away with nothing to show in the end. NRG never should have even happened.

It was a gay club to begin with. He wasn't making any money because the gay community can't stand him. So he turned the club "straight" and it went "thug". He used to have a big house on Ward Parkway and have boy parties all the time. He is gay without a doubt. He may have gone to women, because no gay man in this town would go near him!
The building if it stays mixed use needs to be a restauarant and apartments above. The apartments need some repairs as well. This comes from a former resident. It will never work as a nightclub / apartment building and was a horrible concept to begin with. As far as clubs that play that kind of music? Look at the one in the River Market that did that. Not when it played House music but once it switched over to what NRG was doing. Same thing. Shootings and everything else. Pretty much the majority of clubs go through that once they draw that crowd. Fights, public disturbances and shootings. This is why their liquor licenses get pulled and fast. Having lived on then north side of downtown and in the River Market I can say the worst spot is around NRG / NV because of the crowd it attracts and I would guess the music they play has a smidge to do with it as well as the horrible owner.
I'm glad NRG is shutting down. The staff treated patrons horribly.
That being said, I just wanted to point out that it is possible to play that kind of music without those kinds of problems. There are several other successful clubs who don't have these issues because they employ staff that have zero tolerance for troublemaking and they treat their customers with respect. Hopefully someone comes into the space and makes it better because it is a nice building.
I used to work there back when it was still a decent place to go....it's true, there were drug deals going on all the time and everyone knew about it. That's what you get when you cater to a certain clientele.
What a creep. I've heard terrible things about this guy for years. I lived in the Normandy Apartments back in 2004. Not only did I have to put up with the nightly sounds of domestic violence coming from my neighbors apartment, but he also screwed me out of my deposit. He likes women? Scum Bag
my ex boyfriend used to be a security guard down there and it doesn't suprise that this is going on.... they let underage people in and I've heard that they might just close it down... went there once and there were homeless guys just hanging out and drug deals going on... my ex got in several fights there and the stories he would tell.... let this club go there are better clubs out there and del pay back what you owe I've heard the stories...
That is so sad
That he really DID write chapter one of that silly, desperate publication...
I am another former tenant who lost my security deposit for no reason. Del, you owe me $600.
I tried to sue this piece of S because he screwed me out of my deposit at the Normandy Apartments. And before he started exclusively renting to pedophiles and ex-cons/current criminals, the deposit was $400! I left the place immaculate but decided to leave behind a couple of phonebooks and some coat hangers in the closet and that somehow constituted him not returning the deposit. Are you serious?!
Why is he not being charged with assault or something?
Hey, Del, if you're reading this - EAT S#!T & DIE.
I too have had to deal with the fool and as a former resident.
Not only the fact that maintenance is something that is rarely done, but almost all maintenance personnel and building managers are either released felons or are on the sex offenders registry list - or at least were a few years ago. (It's very easy to verify this info online) Now I don't know about him, but some of my neighbors and I were not overly excited to find out that these kind of people had pass keys and could enter our apartment at their discretion. Would you want sex a offender having access to you or your child?
FINALLY! That guy is scum and deserves anything he gets. He is a slumlord and treats his tenants like total sh*t and I unfortunately had to deal with him for a year when I lived above NV. Sorry, but gettting woken up at 2am on a Tueday so a rapper can do a video shoot outside your window is absolutely rediculous, not to mention the shootings, leaky ceiling in my loft (i was the first tenant in it), etc etc. There is a large list of what is wrong with that entire building. Best news all week!
I drive by this place often at night. Its either a car show, circus, or crime scene every time. Quit thuggin' it up, shooting people and causing the police to block off the road with tape... I'm trying to get home. You can sell the place and call it fifteen different things, its not going to change.
