Nicki Minaj Cleans Up For Fadar Magazine

Young Money's Nicki Minaj is on the cover of Fadar Magazine, which hits news stands on March 2nd.




The barbie talks about her image, style, personality, and signing the boobies:

I don’t want people to think I’m up there trying to be cute. I’m trying to entertain, and entertaining is more than exuding sex appeal. Anybody that knows me knows that I have a very, very bipolar personality, so one minute I’m excited and the next minute I’m crying and the next minute I’m cussing and yelling and the next minute I’m singing Enya. I’m not kidding. And the point is, my rap style now reflects my true personality. Because I am so weird…I wish I could fricking remember the first boob that I signed. I don’t know why I did it, but now I can’t go anywhere and not do it. People come up to me wherever I am, girls, sexy girls, like, ‘Can you sign my boob?’ I mean, ni**as in the club look at me like I’m a pimp. They like, Whaaat? Cause they be fly chicks. I don’t know, but I do know it’s a great thing.”

Mystikal, Say It Aint So...Not Another Sex Tape?!?

You would think that after going to jail for sex related charges, you would stir FAR AWAY from any sex tapes! I guess some people just don't learn!


According to sources, a large pornography company has a copy of a Mystikal's sex tape and is planning to release it tomorrow.

Although information is just gathering on this event, rumors have said that this tape is a brand new tape and not the one that ultimately put Mystikal behind bars back in January, 2004.

For those who are unaware, Mystikal was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to forcing his hairstylist to perform sexual acts on himself and his bodyguard.

The video tape is said to show her giving the men oral sexual favors as well as any sexual favors that she was told to do.

No other information of the sex tape is available at the time.(HipHop Wired)

My comments/thoughts/questions...after you peep it!




So while I was watching 'We Are The World' 25, these are some of my ideas that came to mind:

*First time me hearing Lil Wayne rap and he didn't say 'Young Money or Young Moollaaa Baby'

*I was cracking up at Jamie Foxx mocking Ray Charles and J-Hud trying to keep a straight face

*Where was Beyonce & Alicia Keys--too big to participate?

*J-Hug goes the hell offfffff

*Did I see Faith?

*When will Wyclef stop yelling?


..Overall, if I had to give it a grade, I would give it an A for Effort!

Birdman On R. Kelly: "Clown-Ass N%gga"


The Birdman has been known over the years as one of the best in the business when it comes to making money. From his $30 million dollar deal some ten years back to bring Cash Money to Universal or numerous endorsement endeavors, Baby is all about getting to the money.

But like Biggie said, “Mo money, mo problems” as the turmoil comes along with the success as he and his crew prepare for Lil Wayne's upcoming year-long jail bid.

On his paper route to become the Magic Johnson of Hip-Hop, Baby recently spoke about how he developed such business savvy with Ozone Magazine.

“When you have a business you need to know to budget, spend, and manage. I think those are the three hardest things to do in business. If you don't do those things, your business is gonna go under. I was just blessed to know how to do those things [as well as] hustle. Honestly, you gotta hustle and know how to flip money. And to flip money, you've got to always get new money. Niggas be trying to hold on to old money and they don't spend it, but you've gotta keep flipping that shit.”

With all of his success ventures, there is bound to be some failures. He also spoke on his worst investment and didn't hesitate to go in on “The Pied Piper.”

“Probably the worst investment I did was fuckin' with R. Kelly. That was a waste of my time. I could've made money if I wasn't fuckin' with that clown-ass nigga.”

Ouch. Baby was speaking on The Best Of Both World's 2, which was supposed to be with him and Kells. With a movie, videos and music lined up and the button ready to push, Kelly disappeared on the Birdman and resurfaced with Jay-Z as his partner to follow up on their original project. (HipHop Wired)

Cassie & Trey Songz To Celebrate Valentine's Day...

...but not together, if that's what your thinking!

And from the looks of it, Cassie might be spending it alone. Does she think Diddy is coming to meet her? He may, but we all know he got some other stops before there....*side-eye*She has the rose petals all lined on the floor. She may have a better chance calling Ryan Leslie to come back.



Trey Songz chops it up with Rap-Up magazine, and talks about his most memorable Valentine's Day, and he prepares for the special nite.




Plus, he stopped by 106 & Park to hand of roses for the ladies, and perform for them.

First up, Bobby V!


The ex emailed Photographer/Blogger, Freddy O this:



Ladies it is time for us to wake up and see these men for who they are. This is one of many emails to come! Remember in life you must make choices; love the one you are with and stop thinking people will never find things out… cause your actions always come to the light.

Love M.C.
There is nothing worst than a women scorned! Honestly speaking, for Bobby V the pics aren't bad unless he had a girl, and he got caught up in some groupie love! Plus maybe he realized his career was going nowhere fast now, and he needed some attention! Don't act like some artist don't that.

Lil Wayne's Jail Sentencing Delayed!

Are we suprised? Did you actually think he was going to go in without a fight?


MTV Reports:


NEW YORK — Lil Wayne’s sentencing has been delayed until March 2 due to dental surgery, his attorney announced in a Manhattan courtroom Tuesday (February 9).The rapper was scheduled to be formally sentenced by a judge and begin serving his one-year term stemming from a 2007 arrest that resulted in a guilty plea in October for attempted weapons possession.

The Cash Money MC arrived shortly after 2 p.m. with his label heads Birdman and Slim. He quietly entered the courtroom as photographers snapped pictures from the hallway. Wayne wore a navy coat and black-framed glasses, and he sat still while his lawyer Stacey Richman spoke. She informed the judge that she sent a notification to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office that the rapper is suffering from a cracked tooth and would need to postpone his sentence. The judge agreed and ruled to reschedule for March 2.

The rapper is set to undergo surgery February 12 in Miami, according to Richman. He will need a week to 10 days to recover. His defense offered prosecutors February 25 as a date for Wayne to turn himself him in after surgery, but Judge Charles H. Solomon instead selected March 2.

This is some ol bullshhhhhhh. You know how many criminals sitting in jail right now with a cracked tooth. If I ever get in trouble and have to go to jail, someone please crack my tooth! I wanna see if this will work for me!

Usher Mom Allegedly Signs The "Papers," Again!!!

Sources are reporting that Usher's mom, Jonetta Patton, has allegedly called it quits again as his manager.


The source is also reporting that Jive was pushing his album, Raymond vs. Raymond, back because he can’t keep a stable team in place. According to the NY Daily News, it’s all because of Ursh’s new cougar girlfriend Grace Miguel.

Apparently the crooner and his mother — and former manager– Jonetta Patton are officially on the outs and severed their professional ties in late November 2009.


“She walked away from the project because Usher had his girlfriend [and former Def Jam executive] Grace Miguel was all in the mix,” says the source.

“She felt as though if she didn’t end things when she did, it would permanently affect their personal relationship,” continues the source.

Usher had apparently declared that he would manage himself, with the help of Miguel, but the label felt that “there was chaos in the camp.” (The YBF)


When will Usher learn??? Momma knows best!!!!
