Kid Cudi "I Don't Give A F#ck About This Industry"

Kid Cudi has never been a rapper that finds it necessary to bring down another rapper in order to promote himself. He is, however, a man that apparently believes in respect and will immediately shut down those that choose to not show him such courtesy.

During a show at the House Of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the Man on the Moon spoke on his recent activity involving the assault on a fan that resulted in him being ejected from Lady Gaga's tour.

The media has found many different angles and spins to place on the incident so Cudi has found no other alternative but to provide a little clarity and defend himself.(HipHopWired)



No Shade, but the industry probably don't give a f#ck about you either. I'm just sayin...

Slim Thug Is An Attention Whore!!

Boy, these Z-List celebrities kill me. Will do anything for some attention!


Via Twitter, Houston rapper, Slim Thug, posted this picture of him and a female which looks as if they were having relations in a bathroom.

Moments later, Slim deleted the post and stated "#confession we were not having sex in that pic that’s my new gal Ima settle down for #2010.” (Bossip)

Teddy Riley Denies Striking Daughter

After reports came out that Teddy Riley had assualted his daughters and his daughters were granted a temporary restraining order, the former Blackstreet and Guy singer is denying the allegations.

Due to recent events, I am compelled to respond in detail to accusations made against me, by my daughters.

I love my Daughters, but I will not allow my children to disrespect me in my home. Contrary to what I have been accused of, I would never beat my children.

Perhaps, I should have been a stronger disciplinarian as they were growing up. I worked very hard so that my children would want for nothing.

In hindsight, I see that it was a mistake to give them everything they wanted so that they could have the childhood I never had. Unfortunately, they have taken me, and the privileged life I have given them, completely for granted.

Instead of being appreciative and realizing how fortunate they are, my children have an inflated sense of entitlement and expectation without having to work or earn their way.
However, my ‘children’ are no longer children, they are adults and I am trying to instill in them values and a work ethic of their own. My mother always told me “too many grown people can’t live in one house” so I encourage them to have their own homes if they cannot abide by the rules of mine. I am not an uptight Dad, I am as hip as they come but I will not tolerate being taken advantage of or disrespected, especially in my home.

I’ve been working since the age of 14, I bought my first car by myself. Nobody gave me a car. My kids don’t even remember their first car. I grew up with 6 of us in an apartment fighting over one bathroom. My kids have never had to share a bathroom, let alone a bedroom.

I’m asking everyone to let this one go… I’m only being a good parent. I’m a great father and everyone who knows me, knows this is true.

Thank you so much,

With all my love,

Teddy Riley

If you missed the twitter argument between Riley and his daughter on the night of the alleged altercation, Peep This!

TMZ originally reported that Riley’s 18-year-old daughter Taja Riley, accused her father of abusing her and her older sister by “stomping, punching and bashing them” at his Los Angeles area home. Claiming to have suffered several injuries, including a contusion on her face, Taja Riley told officials her father “lifted a Rock Band guitar and threatened to kill person(s) with it”.

Exposed: Exclusive Video From MJB's Album Release Party

So Mary's publicist said that nothing happened at her album release party, but that's not what the camera is showing.....

Mary J Punches Kendu At Album Release Party?

What in the world is going on??? I'm laying in my bed and I started getting texts and emails asking me did 'Mary J punch Kendu at her husband at her album release party nite'? To my knowledge, no, BUT, one of Necole Bitchie readers, who was at the party, had a different story.

"I can’t believe no one is talking about Mary J Blige punching her husband Kendu in the face last night at M2 at her album release party!!!! Apparently mary’s brother got in an argument with some guys and kendu went over and got involved and had him (marys brother) kicked out the club. Mary was heated and she and Kendu got in an argument and she punched him in his face. This all happened in the vip section at M2. She was whisked away immediately and everyone was in disbelief because it was so in the open.

You know I wouldn’t even lie to you. This hilarious part is no one brought it up today on one blog or gossip news source. Its weird because I don’t know why its so under wraps. Vip was packed. Granted it was mad industry heads and a lot of people from her label so its not like they would put it on blast the way it would have had if it been in front of consumers but you know I couldn’t let it go"

Another story I'm hearing is...

The nine-times Grammy award winner was said to have his Kendu Isaacs after he purportedly tried to charm a waitress at club M2.

'She turned to him and was screaming, "You're not going to ruin my night",' the New York Post quoted a witness as saying.

'They got up in each other's faces before someone tried to separate them, at which point she shoved the guy aside, pulled back and popped [Isaacs] in the face,' the witness added.

The couple and their entourage were later led to a door to the attached club Pink.

The witness continued: 'She was yelling at him, "What are you gonna do, Chris Brown me?" Four of her bodyguards and two of the club's kept them apart.' (DailyMail)

However a representative for Blige denied the allegations, saying: 'People lie and don't know what they're talking about.'

All I have to say is that as long as Kendu didn't put his hands on Mary, then he is okay. Mary wasn't wrorng at all. But, you gotta love Mary because she still got that Y.O. in here...I love me some Mary! If you don't have her new album, go cop it. If you have it, go cop it again!

Chris Brown Gets That Stripper Love

Chris Brown's mother isn't playing with Chris Brown's probation-he can't drink any alcohol (wait, is he even old enough to drink anyway?).

Page 6 reports that after his performance at the Nokia Theater last week, Breezy's mom, Joyce, had the club remove any and all alcohol from his table. This way, pictures won't even be taken of it near him.

Though the liquor was M.I.A., the strippers from FlashDance (club) weren't!

“When 86 gorgeous girls turned up, Chris Brown, who just happened to be there, looked delighted. And he has an eye for the Latinas”. One stripper who calls herself Carmen said, “He was the perfect gentleman and very polite.” Another chick, Maria revealed, “He was talking to me but checking out all the other girls at the same time. He seemed fun but very flirtatious . . . it was clear he had to be on his best behavior, especially with regards to how he treats women.”

The King Is Baacck! Welcome Home T.I.

Atlanta rapper Clifford “T.I.” Harris Jr., was released from prison Tuesday morning after serving about 7 months at a low-security penitentiary in Forrest City, Ark. He is expected to serve the remainder of a reduced sentence in a correctional center near Fulton County Airport.

Harris’ attorney Steve Sadow, who confirmed Harris’ release, said it is “not out of the ordinary.”

Harris was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for weapons charges resulting from an October 2007 incident when he was arrested for sending a bodyguard to purchase machine guns and silencers. Sadow said prisoners sentenced to 366 days are eligible for a 54-day sentence reduction for good behavior. The Bureau of Prisons will consider a prisoner with six months or less remaining on his or her sentence for a halfway house. Harris was expected to report to Dismas Charities Atlanta West on Tuesday evening, Sadow said. He will remain there for about three months and will have to abide by the rules of that particular house. Typically, halfway house residents are allowed to leave the house during regular work hours and are allowed more contact with their families and communities.

Once Harris completes his time in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons in late March, he will still have to finish serving just under 500 hours of community service and about 23 days of home incarceration, Sadow said. (Hot 107.9)

The announcement was made official through Grand Hustle executives and affiliates.

Amir Boyd, head of Marketing and Promotions for Grand Hustle, announced it through his Twitter saying,

“The KING is home y’all! Merry Christmas!”

Listen to 'One In A Lifetime'


In my opinion, this is a good R&B joint from Monica, but it is NOT the single that I heard on her reality show 'Still Standing'. I think the song I heard is called, All Wrapped In Love, or something like that. Trust me...when you hear that too-you are gonna be blown away. I only heard a snippet of it, and I was like Wowwww!

But check out, One In A Lifetime, and let me know what you think!

I have mixed feelings about the song. I can say I am becoming a fan more and more of Nicki Minaj!

I was ROTFLMAO when she say "I can make Cassie leave Diddy"...That's just some of the things she says in the song. You gotta listen for yourself. One thing is for sure, she is NOT hiding her sexuality.

Breakingg News: Lil Wayne Detained By Texas Border Patrol

Lil' Wayne was rollin' through Texas with marijuana on multiple tour buses, this according to the U.S. Border Patrol.

Border Patrol agents tell TMZ a random search of the vehicles (pictured above) uncovered a pot stash on two buses -- but we're told no drugs were found on Wayne's person ... or anyone else in the entourage.

Officials tell us a drug-sniffing K-9 unit picked up the scent outside the bus. Agents then walked the dogs onto the bus, where they located the weed.

As we first reported, Wayne and 11 members of his entourage are being detained at an internal B.P. checkpoint in southern Texas.

So far, no arrests have been made.

UPDATE 8:39 PM ET -- We're told Lil' Wayne's concert tonight at the Laredo Entertainment Center in Laredo, TX. has been postponed. The general manager of the venue tells us they decided to cancel the show because Lil' Wayne didn't show and they couldn't get in touch with him or his people.

Que's Day 26 Drama Continues...He Was Like Cancer

Say What????? Scrappy On Diamond; Bow Wow Fires Management, and more!

Lil Scrappy is finally talking (if you will) about his relationship with former Crime Mob member, Diamond. During an interview with XXL Magazine, he says:

"That's my best friend, man; I don't have no real friends like that," he revealed in an interview. "[She's] the only one I can talk to before I go to sleep. We don't tell people much about this joint because it's private. We have problems here and there... 'Cause too many men's be looking at her and too many woman's be looking at me and that's a problem. [Laughs] ...We fittin' to do a Mr. and Mrs. Smith package, with a mixtape coming out first then an album. A DVD might come out with the album."

Not to be disrespectful Scrap, but honestly don't nobody care. Kay, Kay Kayyyy




Appearantly Bow Wow isn't too happy with his management team. Via Twitter on Thursday, he vented:

"In one of those 'please dont f*** with me moods' today. Im firing all managers! Im taking the ray allen approach! Im managing myself. Who knows me better than me? I know this game very well...chilling with my aunt ant and @guesswhojus booking studio for the next 2 months...Just got off the phone with -->@realwizkhalifa we bout to do something major! look out for it."

I've known Shad since he was a kid...get it together homey! Your starting to look like an attenion whore seeker. Imjussayin...

During a recent stop at MTV studio's, Trey Songz was asked about this 'D.O.A' "diss" to R. Kelly.

“It wasn’t a beef,” Trey smiled. “It was me telling R. Kelly to take the damn Auto-Tune off his voice, which he did on his album. His album is good.”

Trey either way you look at it, it's a diss!

Diddy Giving Cassie The Boot To Marry Kim?

A few months ago, Diddy said he is afraid to get married, but it looks like somebody has been in his ear! Word is that Diddy may tie the knot in 2010 with on and off again girlfriend, Kim Porter.

"In 2010 it looks like some of us are really trying to grow up and leave certain habits behind. And Sean Puff Combs isn't an exception. The world renowned playboy is said to be cleaning house in a big way! Apparently after three kids, numerous child support issues and a child spawned from outside their union, Diddy is ready to propose to Kim Porter. From what I hear Diddy has purchased a 12 carat diamond engagement ring and has already handed Cassie her walking papers...And I hear there's in even bigger bombshell developing as Puff has [or is} filing for joint custody of his current illegitimate child with Sarah Chapman. My source promises me this information is air tight and won't be denied by the Puffster should be questioned with it."(Gyant Unplugged)

Rihanna Goes Topless For GQ

As much as I don't care for her....let alone her performances, but the girl is bad. Plus, I guess when she takes her top off, does anything else really matter?

Rihanna poses topless in a new cover for GQ Magazine’s January Issue.

From reading the interview online, here are a few excerpts from the interview:

She didn’t graduated from high school
No. I wanted to. I just got really busy.

She does not have herpes
It’s a f*cking scar. On my lip. That’s there every day of my life. At first I was like, Are you serious? First I thought people were gonna definitely know that that’s not…But when I read it, and I see that people just buy into that…Like, the minute they see it, it forms something in their head.

There’s is alot more she probably wants to say about the assault incident but can’t…
I never blamed myself, but I wondered what, what did I do to provoke it?…

….I didn’t call 911. No. I know everybody thinks I did, but it was someone else…It was…



She feels misunderstood
They just don’t understand me. I just think people straight up don’t know who I am; they just know what I look like, they know the idea of me. But—they’ll learn more this time, because now I let my guard down, and I’m more comfortable just being myself. That’s exactly what I want to be. And even on the album, you definitely get a gist of my personality.

Was her photoshoot over the top for L.A. Reid?
At one point L.A. Reid came into the shoot, and he was like, “Rihanna, put some f*cking clothes on!”

How do you ever trust again?
I can trust. I mean, I don't like to stereotype; I believe everybody's an individual. You can't judge someone based on someone else's actions. There are people in the world who will love you and people in the world who will hurt you, and there are people in the world who will do both.

Do you think a man who does something like that can change?
Absolutely. Yeah. Some of them won't change and some of them will—but you know, very few of them change.

If you ask me, it looks like she trying to make up for lack of sales....imjussayin...

Kanye West Honored By Entertainment Weekly

Ever since the Taylor Swift incident at the MTV Awards, Kanye West has kept a low profile...until recently. On Wednesday, Ye' took too his blog to respond to Entertainment Weekly honoring his 2004 album, The College Dropout, as Best Album of the Decade by Entertainment Weekly.

"Wow ... This is really flattering..." he wrote. "I've had some ups and downs this year, well actually this decade. Just seeing this cover takes me back to that time of my life. I remember how much pain and love went into this album. No one saw it coming. This project wasn't about me, it was about a time in people's lives where people force opinions on you and you have to make choices for yourself. We loved 50 Cent but we wanted to be the yang. We wanted to wear pink polos and rap about being hurt instead [of] being invincible. There was a core group of people who worked on this album everyday.... Plain Pat, John Monopoly, Don Crawley, Anthony Kilhoffer, Manny Marroquin, John Legend, Devon Harris, Rhymefest, Gee Roberson, Hip Hop, Al Branch, Damon Dash, Gabe Tesoriero, Craig Bauer, GLC, Ol' School Ice Gree, Consequence, B Nice and my mom. I was most inspired by The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and I listened to that album every day while working on my debut.

"Thank you for this acknowledgment and also for putting [Jay-Z's] The Blueprint on the list also. I loved [Andre 3000's disc of Outkast's] The Love Below and [50 Cent's] Get Rich or Die Trying also. They both equally deserved the number one spot in my eyes but there can only be one number one!!!"

I wonder if they gave Ye' this award so he wouldn't 'Go Off' again....Imjussayin'
