Another guard is accused of giving Lil wayne preferential treatment
Sep 6th
this isn’t the first time, a Rikers Island guard filed a lawsuit against the institution in April after she was fired for allegedly trying to sneak a peek at the rapper while he was in holding.
Now a second official is being reprimanded, this time for “spending extra time with the star.”
The New York Post reports that Capt. Latanya Brown was questioned by the Corrections Department after officials believe she allowed Wayne to stay in his cell while other inmates were made to leave their bunks and report to the recreational area.
Rikers says they have a zero tolerance policy for officers who give preferential treatment,
but this is the same corrupt institution that famously had a guard resign after a favoritism scandal linked to rapper Foxy Brown.
In 2006, SEVERAL guards reportedly allowed Foxy to wear makeup, watch television, and accept outside food and clothing.
Who the hell was Foxy trying to look good for? yeah connect the dots….
Silly Kanye is still apologizing to taylor Swift
Sep 5th
Source: nypost
Rapper, producer and avid Twitter user Kanye West used the microblogging website today to apologize to Taylor Swift for interrupting her acceptance speech at MTV’s 2009 Video Music Awards (VMAs), in a series of more than 70 tweets.
“These tweets have no manager, no publicist, no grammar checking… this is raw,” he wrote.
West is scheduled to perform at the 2010 VMAs on Sept. 12.
At the Sept. 13, 2009 ceremony, West interrupted an acceptance speech by Swift for the Best Female Video award, grabbed the microphone and declared that Beyonce should have won the award because her video for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” was “one of the best videos of all time.
West was widely criticized for the stunt.
Writing on Twitter this morning, West claimed that press and media had been “waiting for an opportunity” to demonize him, and said the fallout from the incident was “the first time I felt the impact of my brash actions.”
The rapper also lamented that the interruption was made into a race issue by some — West is black and Swift is white — and said he was “only trying to do good.” He said he now understands that people do not always need his help.
“Beyonce didn’t need that. MTV didn’t need that and Taylor and her family friends and fans definitely didn’t want or need that,” he wrote.
Eventually, West addressed Swift. “She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows,” he wrote. “She had no idea what hit her. She’s justa lil girl with dreams like the rest of us. She deserves the apology more than anyone.”
West said he has written a song for Swift. “I want her to have it. If she won’t take it then I’ll perform it for her,” he said.
“I want to help as many people as I can,” West said toward the end of his stream of tweets. “I want to win there hearts back so I can continue to bring my take on culture to the masses with a clean opinion. It starts with this… I’m sorry Taylor.”
Ne-Yo speaks on the T.I. situation
Sep 4th
R&B singer Ne-Yo has urged T.I. to ditch his entourage and clean up his act following the rapper’s latest arrest for alleged drug possession.
The “Whatever You Like” hitmaker, real name Clifford Harris, Jr., and his wife Tameka Cottle aka Tiny were taken into custody on Wednesday, September 1 after a traffic cop in West Hollywood reportedly smelled cannabis smoke coming from their vehicle during a routine stop.
The newly-married couple was booked on suspicion of possessing methamphetamines and released on $10,000 bail. The legal trouble comes just eight months after T.I. was released from prison for illegal weapons possession – and the latest drug arrest could land him in trouble with his probation officer.
And now clean-living hitmaker Ne-Yo has offered up his advice to T.I., urging the rap star to stay out of the headlines by taking a closer look at the company he keeps.
He tells the Associated Press, “I just feel that he makes a lot of poor decisions when it comes to the people that he surrounds himself with. Nine times out of 10 when he gets in trouble, it’s not him, it’s the people that he’s with.”
And Ne-Yo hopes this month’s arrest will make T.I. realise it’s time to leave behind his bad boy ways to fully focus on his music comeback and fledgling Hollywood career. He says, “You’ve been given a bunch of different chances. Now is the time to really go, ‘You know, I get it, all right, I get it’.”
what a cop out his “entourage” the people he’s with?
Tip is a grown man who gets high it’s no secret, most of these celebs do drugs…
Tip needs to check himself and his wife in to rehab, he can’t blame his entourage,
he was caught and arrested with his wife, sipping on sizzurp and popping eX pills..
personally I could care less people get arrested everyday on drug charges,
unfortunately for most, they don’t have the elite behind them.
nothing will happen to Tip, let’s not forget he did 7 months after being caught
with machine guns and silencer….anyone else would have did 10years.
Neyo needs to stop sleeping with underage french girls,
I don’t recall Tip saying anything about neyo when he was under investigation…

Fat Joe speaks about Remy ma
Sep 1st
he sat down with Vlad tv to show her some support…
here’s what he had to say:
“I ain’t understand why,” Joe said referring to Remy’s past disses toward him. “There 10 million people trying to get into the rap game and I gave this girl an opportunity. I put her on ‘Lean Back,’ the number one song in the country [in 2004] — I realized there was no one I could blame. A lot of people turn around and want to escape from the pressure, so you need to blame somebody…My son used to look up to her, she was like my sister — and that’s why it’s unforgiiveable. You know how some love is unconditional? This is unforgiveable. I wish her the best, she’s still the best girl rapper in the game. I’m sure she’ll come out and do her thing. But you know, it is what it is. I don’t wish [her sentence] on nobody. I don’t wish that on somebody who wants to kill me. I don’t want nobody to go to jail for three minutes. It’s slavery. It’s modern day slavery. It’s h*ll. Especially a girl like Remy Ma, I know the real Remy Ma, the little girl, the little sister, I knew her. It’s a sad thing, she’s got a kid, it’s just a sad thing.”

Nicki minaj and Drake tweet about getting married
Aug 28th
Young Money emcees Drake and Nicki Minaj decided to start some twitter gossip,
On her Twitter page, Nicki decided to have some fun by tweeting:
“U scurred? @drakkardnoir u ready to make the announcement or wha?”
Drake then replies:
“@nickiminaj Baby I am never scared. PROUD is more the word I would use.”
the following tweets got everyone in a twitter frenzy…
“Please refer to @nickiminaj as Mrs. Aubrey Drake Graham and dont stare at her too long. She’s finally mine.
”
Nicki Minaj then added
“Yes, it’s true. Drake and I tied the knot.”
But reps for both rappers tell E! Online that they did NOT get married. The entire publicity stunt stems from the lyrics for Drake’s song “Miss Me,” in which he raps, “I love Nicki Minaj, I told her, I’d admit it; I hope one day we get married, just to say we f******* did it.”
Congrats to Nicki and Drake for being the biggest attention whores on twitter.

After this now infamous tweet, the Twitter world jumped into a frenzy, creating the trending topic #Fabscared.
In response to the tweet and trending topic, Fabolous tweeted:
Since the exchange, Fabolous has continued to come under scrituny as well as answer questions about a rumored beef.
In an interview with Real Talk New York, Fab squashed it all:
“For the record, I have jumped on numerous tracks with Joe,” Fabolous said. “So it’s not an issue to do the record with him.”
When asked if there was any beef between the two emcees, Fab states:
“No, me and Joe have always been cool. I don’t think he meant to do it maliciously; it was just a fun way to get me to do the record. I was going to be a jerk to the people on Twitter and not do it, but then I would be letting down my friend.”

Kat Stacks put Soulja boy on BLAST
Aug 25th
The “professional jumpoff” released a new video showing Soulja Boy
in an Atlanta hotel room, in the room there is a dresser with lines of cocaine on it.
Kat says:
“This n*gga’s a muthaf*ckin coke head, yo! This n*gga’s been doing muthaf*ckin dope all day, that’s why this nigga can’t f*ck me right!”
Soulja Boy’s thirsty a$$ can clearly be seen is in the video with Stacks,
she tapes him cuddling with her in bed without his knowledge.
she also says he wack in the sack, Whoomp whoomp.
Soulja Boy has since responded to the allegations, posting to his followers on Twitter:
“God knows I didn’t do that. That’s all that matters, you are nothing but humans. Pow.”
it’s clearly De’Andre aka Soulja Boy in the video, everyone knows what Kat Stacks
is about, if he is stupid enough to still mess with her,
after everything that has been posted on line
then he deserves to be put on blast, as a messy coke head.
I don’t feel bad for him, him and kat stack deserve each other.
it’s sad that some rappers will do anything to create a buzz,
i wouldn’t be shocked if this was another publicity stunt courtesy of the record labels.

Diddy says he didn’t rob anyone
Aug 24th
(Bad Boy artists included) who claim he ripped them off…
….There’s an off perception that needs to be addressed about me that I have ever robbed somebody or mistreated somebody. Or tried to be ruthless or whatever in this game. Like, all this year I’ve heard people say, “Where’s Carl Thomas, where’s Black Rob, where’s G.Dep? Where are these artists?” And for some reason they go ahead and equate that, cause those artists aren’t with me, that I’ve done something wrong or malicious or conniving. It’s something that I do have a problem with because they don’t have no proof that I’ve ever done nothing like that.
It’s a misconception. Especially someone who’s been brought up like me. I’ve been brought up to work hard for mine and never take from nobody. And to always try and help people. But people don’t understand this game that were in. You have a short life expectancy. It’s rare to a me, to be a Jay-Z, an LL, a Nas. That shit is a rarity. That’s not even one percent of the rappers. If you look at any artists that were on Ruff Ryders, where they at? If you look at any artist that was on Def Jam at the time we started, where they at? If you look at any artist that was on Roc-A-Fella, Jive, where they at? It’s not like anything was wrong with them. It’s just that you have a four, five-year average in this game. That’s just something I wanted to address.
if you say so Diddy…
