Nicki Minaj Cleans Up For Fadar Magazine

2010-02-21T21:16:00.008-05:00

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.”

Claudette Ortiz (from City High) Speaks

2010-02-17T19:46:00.011-05:00

Not sure if many of you watched A&E's "Intervention" that came on a couple weeks ago that featured Robbie (ex member of the now default group City High.)

L to R: Ryan Toby, Claudette Ortiz, Robbie Pardlo

If not let me fill you in, Robbie along with his teenage sweetheart Claudette Ortiz formed a group, later adding Ryan Toby called City High, who had two lukewarm hits entitled "What Would You Do" as well as "Caramel" (featuring Eve) in 2001. The group was put together by Wyclef John (Fugees.)

On the show "Intervention" Robbie claimed his alcoholism surfaced when he found out that Claudette and Ryan started a relationship and then got married.

Claudette breaks down what really happen with her and her former group members of City High. Check the video below:

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

2010-02-16T17:53:00.006-05:00

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)

*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"

2010-02-12T19:38:00.003-05:00

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)

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.

The Ex's Strike Again; Bobby V, George Hill Exposed!!

When will we learn, you can't go around taking naked videos/pictures, and then piss your other-half off because, they are gonna get ya!

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.

See the rest of Bobby V's exposed pics: Peep This!

Greg Oden isn't the only baller (no pun, no neyo) who nekkid pics are leaking. San Antonio Spur, George Hill, is having a little problem keeping his pics from leaking out as well. You gotta watch these ex's.

Lil Wayne's Jail Sentencing Delayed!

2010-02-09T15:55:00.005-05:00

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!!!

2010-02-08T18:36:00.009-05:00

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!!!!

Urban Pics: Million Dollar Girl Video Shoot w/ Trina & Diddy

2010-02-05T19:42:00.007-05:00

Is it me or does it look like Diddy is scared to touch Trina?

Diddy & Trina were on the set of her 'Million Dollar Girl' video shoot. Keri Hilson is on the song as well, but couldn't make it to the shoot. I'm guessing, she will shoot her scene at a later date.

Spotted @Kiddunot

Listen to 'Million Dollar Girl'

To me this song is a not so Hot! Maybe it will grow on me, and if it does I will be the first to say I was wrong. I don't think Trina should have wasted her money on doing this video. She could have saved her money for the child she is supposedly adopting from Haiti.

Her album, Amazin, is in stores May 4th.

If You Missed It:Foxy Brown's New Diss; Trey Songz on Tavis Smiley; Fantasia On Oprah

2010-02-05T18:46:00.013-05:00

On Foxy Brown's new song, Let 'Em Know, she is name-checking alot of rappers during her verse.

Brown drops lines about Jay-Z, former boyfriend Rick Ross, Eve, Miami rapper Trina and longtime nemesis, Lil Kim.

A number of lines are aimed at some of the more popular female rappers of the day, but most seem to be directed at Lil Kim.

“I’d rather be in the club at the bar/then to disrespect my hood on Dancing With the Stars/Nah I’m in the hood taking chances with the Gods.”

Later Brown gets more aggressive with the lyrics, adding Eve to the list of names called out on the track.

"Slam a b**ch on her back like I’m John Cena/F**k that I aint Eve, I aint Kim, I aint Trina/BK’s own Diva/I give the whole hood face lifts/Go on and fix your face b***h/"

Listen to 'Let 'Em Know'

Keyshia Cole Delivered The Baby????

2010-02-05T17:55:00.003-05:00

Twitter will get you everytime! Last night, the way some folks were talking on Twitter, you would have thought Keyshia Cole had delievered the baby. After doing my own little investigation, I found out that it was a false alarm.

Cleveland.com reports:

Just as the Cavaliers guard was about to fall asleep Thursday afternoon, his fiancee, R&B star Keyshia Cole, who is expecting the couple's first child on March 2, felt what she thought were labor pains.

The two rushed to the Cleveland Clinic, where they found out it was a false alarm. After doctors ran a couple of tests to make sure everything was OK, Gibson took Cole home and then headed to Quicken Loans Arena for Thursday night's game against the Miami Heat.

Kanye West Clears Up Rumors About Airport Tantrum

2010-02-03T22:12:00.010-05:00

It wouldn't be right if too many days went past without Kanye West "going off" about something!

The New York Post is reporting that while attempting to leave LA to get to NYC, Mr West got into with airline attendants over his "seating arrangements"! They reported that he started yelling at the flight attendancts because they didn't seat him in First class.

Kanye West took to his blog to clear the air on the whole situation:

I feel bad that people believe this kind of stuff or any random rumor that is taken as fact because ‘it’s on the internet.’ This rumor is particularly ironic because I was actually happy with a business class seat and was offered a seat in first class. A friend of mine was sitting in coach so asked if they could bump him up to business instead of putting me in first. There was absolutely no altercation in any way. There’s been many a time where I’ve given someone in coach my business or first class seat in order to sit next to a friend I bumped into. I really could care less about where I sit on the plane. It’s hard to deal with the rumors sometimes. As a good person with a warm heart, it does bother me. I’m not bigger than feeling pain, embarrassment, stress and worry. Have you ever been lied on??? How does it make you feel??? You wanna tell everybody it’s not true right? Thank you to all my fans who still love and support me even though it’s not the trend right now! I’m sleeping in the studio and I won’t let you guys down!

Lil Wayne Covers 'Rolling Stone'; Talks Upcoming Jail Time

2010-02-03T21:35:00.006-05:00

Just days before Lil Wayne is set to go behind bars for 12 months, he is featured on Rolling Stone magazine.

On February 9th, February 9th, Lil Wayne will have to report to prison to serve a sentence for gun possession stemming from a 2007 arrest in New York City. With just a few days left, Lil Wayne is busy setting things up to keep his family, his artist, and his image so that he stays on his fan's mind.

In the Rolling Stone issue that hit newsstands today, Lil Wayne talks about his undying hustle, the new album, his family, and his look on his prison stint.

“I don’t like to stop,” Wayne tells RS‘ Chris Norris. “I believe you stop when you die.”

So in the weeks before he reports to Rikers Island, Wayne is keeping busy — recording tracks bound for Tha Carter IV (the album Cash Money staffers call “C4″ because it’ll be the bomb), shooting videos with his Young Money protégés, spending time with his growing family, and deliberately not asking anyone for advice about life on the inside.

“This is Lil Wayne going to jail. Nobody I can talk to can tell me what that’s like,” he says. “I just say I’m looking forward to it.”

Wayne's manager, Cortez Bryant, revealed that while he is doing his bid, his label is relocating to New York to be near him, and his manager Cortez Bryant is exploring ways to keep Wayne in his fans’ minds for the duration — from jailhouse Twitter accounts to endorsements.

“I’ll have an iPod, and I”ll make sure they keep sending me beats,” Lil Wayne says.

Tha Carter IV — which Norris is told features tougher, faster beats — is scheduled to arrive shortly after he gets out.

VH1 Stars Face Off At Haiti Benefit: Poprah Vs. Danger

2010-02-03T21:21:00.006-05:00

I thought we have put Danger in a mental rehab, and I thought we were done with Poprah, but appearantly not!

RadioTV Planet:

Last Friday (Jan. 29) For the Love of Ray J star Danger attended the Haiti fundraiser event at Hollywood’s Laugh Factory thrown by I Want to Work for Diddy star Poprah. The video above unravels the story a bit…

Danger got on stage to speak and wouldn’t get off, so Poprah had to intervene. Then Poprah took Danger to the red carpet to give her a chance to speak on all the rumors surrounding her recent interviews about her family issues, Ray J and other things… and all hell broke loose!

You know its sad that folks can't even get along at a Charity event. I wouldn't be suprised if this was stage though-2 reality stars begging to stay in the limelight. It's over, boo!

Bmore's own Mo'Nique is definitely on the road to success, especially after the 2010 Oscar nominees that were announced.

Mo'Nique was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire".

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

Congratulations also goes out to :

*Lead, Gaboruey Sidibe – who played ‘Precious’ – is up for Best Actress

*The movie’s director Lee Daniels has been nominated for Best Director

‘Precious’ is also up for Best Picture

Now, I would like to know how do you get a nod for Best Actress, and they leave you out of the 'Young Hollywood' edition of Vanity Fair!!!

Vanity Fair know they are soooooo wrong for this. Clearly from the picture, to be considered "Young Hollywood" you have to be a white, skinny, female. Poor Gabbi, Zoe S, and Keke Palmer...not to mention, J-Hud...Hello!!!!

Ludacris Asks Ciara & Pitbull To "Go Low"

2010-02-02T20:50:00.010-05:00

Ludacris' Battle of The Sexes cd was scheduled to drop late spring, but recently has been pushed up to the second week of March. It was also supposed to be him and Shawnna, but looks like that has changed too...*side-eye*. I knew something was shady when I heard that she wasn't on DTP anymore. Since Luda will be on the Black Eyed Peas tour, that's why his album release date was pushed it.

B.O.T.S. will feature appearances from Eve, Trina, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj battling Neyo, Flo-Rida, Plies, and of course, Luda. Battle of The Sexes will hit shelves on March 9th.

Check out the Luda's remix featuring Ciara and Pitbull.

Wow....CiCi killed that...

Fantasia To Be Sued By New Jump-Off's Wife

2010-02-01T12:20:00.005-05:00

MTO is reporting that Fantasia is about to get slapped with a Multi-Million dollar lawsuit!

"According to one of our ULTRA-RELIABLE sources, Antwaun Cook's estranged wife is SERIOUSLY contemplating bringing a lawsuit against Fantasia for STEALING her husband. And according to our snitch, she's exploring using North Carolina's ANTI-JUMPOFF law to bring it.

Only 7 states have what we’re referring to as the ANTI-JUMPOFF law (in legal circles it’s called “criminal conversion”), the states are North Carolina, Illinois, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Mexico, South Dakota and Utah.

But here’s why North Carolina’s anti-jumpoff law is so EFFECTIVE. Unlike the traditional “Alienation Of Affection” law, a jumpoff has virtually NO DEFENSE to a lawsuit brought under the ANTI-JUMPOFF law. For example, the jumpoff CAN NOT claim that they didn’t know the other person was married, or that the married man WAS SEPARATED from his wife, or that the wife was ALSO BEING UNFAITHFUL.

MediaTakeOut.com uncovered that under North Carolina’s law, if the wife can prove that she was VALIDLY married and that her husband had SEX with his jumpoff, then the jumpoff is AUTOMATICALLY liable for damages."

...Tasia, I sure hope he was worth it! Thats a BIG phone bill!

“I’ll be doing all the remixes to everybody’s records,” he said in the message. “From Trey Songz, to Yo Gotti, but even the pop songs.”

The 32 song mixtape will include original material written specifically for the mixtape and some “stuff for the ladies.”

LGBT Community To Beyonce"Don't Use Us And Then Insult Us"

2010-01-29T16:25:00.007-05:00

Reportedly Beyonce Knowles is against being gay or having any gay/lesbian tendencies because it’s ‘against her religion.’

According to LGBT site Lez-BeHonest, it was discovered that the singer may have allegedly stated in the past that it is against her religion to ‘kiss girls.’ The story goes on to say that after doing some research it was reported that she stated ‘God’ gave her the permission to wear sexy clothes and to strip on stage, but not to have some lip-locking or ‘girl-on-girl’ action.

The site suggest that this is a slap in the face for the LGBT community because they support her so much and then she comes and says it’s “against her religion.”

Further on, it states that although everyone is not going to agree with being lesbian or gay, the singer should have kept her comments to herself, especially since the gay boys are the ones who taught Beyonce how to dance and step her fab up. The ending message they want to share with Beyonce, “so don’t use us and then insult us.” (HipHopRx)

B might have to speak on this one!

In other Beyonce news, go behind the scenes of her Superbowl commercial.

Last night, Tyrese announced on Twitter that

"BEYONCE' & LADY GAGA asked me to be the LEADING man in their NEW VIDEO.. Were shooting TOMORROW!! PoW!!

They must have watched 'Baby Boy' for the first time, and wanted to see Jody in person. Hell, im suprised that B and/or Gaga knew who Tyrese was! No shade...Congrats on the move, BlackTy, Ty, or whatever your going by nowdays! Will Brandy be on the set with him? Imjussayin...Special thanks to my informant, Joe, for putting me on with this one!

BET Calls On Diddy, Queen Latifah, and more For Haiti Telethon

BET is continuing their effort to help raise funds for Haiti!

Soulja Boy To Release His Own Book

2010-01-27T18:11:00.007-05:00

It is definitely a good look for the boy to be 19, and releasing his own book! But really...it is nothing I could or would want to learn from Deandre! Honestly, I thought it was going to be a coloring book!

Soulja Boy says the finished product will hit stores this summer, specifically on June 28,2010. No word on whether the book will be an autobiography or not, but it will be called “Teenage Millionaire” by Deandre Way.

I wonder if Oprah will have him on for her Book Club or if it will make the 'Best Seller's' list???

Master P Allegedly Son's Lil Wayne Over Lack of Saint's Support!

2010-01-27T17:22:00.005-05:00

Master P is NOT feeling Lil Wayne these days...especially after Weezy lack of support for the N.O. Saints. Recently, Wayne expressed his opinion that he thought his home town New Orleans Saints would lose to Brent Favre and the Minnesota Vikings.

Well P has allegedly written a blog expressing his thoughts and his disappointment in Wayne's choice. Read Percy Miller's disappointment below:

“As a young child growing up in New Orleans, I always wanted to see the Saints go to the Super Bowl,” said P. “I've always worn black and gold colors as No Limit Jerseys and always represented for the New Orleans Saints by wearing their caps and jerseys. The comment Lil Wayne made about New Orleans Saints losing to the Minnesota Vikings, made no sense to me as a New Orleans native. This is our hope as a city after surviving Hurricane Katrina. This team should bring us together as people. I understand that he has the right to have his own opinion and comment or even root for another team if he wants to.

It's just disappointing to hear this coming from a brother who was born and raised in New Orleans, made money off his music representing the city of New Orleans, talking about it in his lyrics. I'm from Uptown New Orleans and I don't care who the Saints play against, how good the opposing team is, nor what the odds are against them. I would never go against my team, the New Orleans Saints, or root for an opposing team playing against them. We've been waiting to get to the Super Bowl for 40 years and if we do, we will celebrate in Second Line.

I guess we won't be hearing any Superbowl songs from Lil Wayne unless the Vikings win. This is sad for the fans in the city of New Orleans because they really thought Lil Wayne was down. Most entertainers and athletes don't realize that once you're in the spotlight, you need to think about some of the things that you say because it will follow you throughout your career, good or bad.”(Hip Hop Wired)

Master P...really? Is it that serious???

Pink Dissin' Beyonce????

2010-01-27T17:09:00.009-05:00

When I first spotted this video on Bossip, I just thought it was them blowing it out of proportion. After watching it, that is so NOT the case...

Do you think Pink is dissin' Beyonce in her performance of 'Stupid Girls'?

...and for those who don't know, 'Stupid Girls' is where Pink makes fun of all the ladies in the industry for selling out to sell albums.

Spotted: Beyonce & Jay Z Leaving France

2010-01-25T21:54:00.010-05:00

The Power Couple, Beyonce and Jay-Z, were spotted at the airport leaving France.

Just when I thought we had actually seen the two showing some type off affection, I was wrong again. I thought they were holding hands, but then...I saw the orange. What type of freaky ish are they into?

I'm sooooo lost on the whole orange thing. Maybe the paparazzi will get more money if they spot stars holding hands, so B and J decided to play them and have an orange to seperate their hands...things that make you go hmmm.

Drake Covers Complex Magazine

2010-01-25T21:19:00.013-05:00

Drizzy Drake is on the cover of the February edition of Complex magazine. In this issue he talks about life after 'Degrassi', the negative feedback he got from his 'Best I Ever Had' video, his loyalty to Young Money, his injury, and more.

Check out a couple of excerpts from the interview:

Complex: Drake on His Loyalty To Young Money

"Everyone seems to have a comment for me about Young Money, “f*ck Young Money” or “Why are you with them?” But what people have to understand is maybe there was a way for me to be successful without Young Money. But we’ll never know. My loyalty is to Wayne, and that goes for anybody who genuinely believes in me. We don’t have the most personal relationship where we hang out every day or we talk that much, but Wayne’s admiration and respect goes without being verbally said. He put his neck out there for me at a very early stage, and those actions tell me everything I need to know about how he feels about me as an artist."

Complex: There was also a rumor going around that you ghost write for Wayne.

[Laughs]" You know, we're all great artists, great minds, and we all just contribute to each other, there's been times when Wayne has helped me out, and I'm sure, I hope, I've influenced him to do or say things on tracks. We help each other out, that's part of being two artists who respect each others creativity."

Complex: How's the atmosphere at Young Money now that Wayne is about to go to jail?

"We don't really talk about it. It's surreal to me still. I guess on the day that it really happens, I'll start thinking about what I gotta do. I wanna have a talk with Wayne and ask him what he needs from me."

Complex: Take me through your songwriting process.

"With R&B, I know my sound. I know I make records to fuck to. [Laughs.] The way Jay and Wayne write rap, I write R&B. I don't write lyrics down on paper. The other day, I was in the studio with Alicia Keys, and I wrote two songs just speaking to her. I wish I could write that way for rap. With my rap songs, there's so much of me I have to give that I don't know if I could ever just flow. The thing is, I'm a great rapper. There's two elements to rap: having the thoughts, and then being a great rapper. I can really rap the shit that I write. My tone, my inflection. When I listen to myself on records, I don't feel like I don't belong there. When I listen to "Forever," with three of my heroes, I fit right in.
