Atlanta rapper
T.I., whose latest album Urban Legend reached platinum status last
week, has joined Nelly’s major-city tour, which commences from the end of March
through May. Fabolous and Fat Joe have been confirmed as opening acts, while
Nelly is reportedly in the midst of scheduling tour dates and lining up venues
across the country.
Mya is said to
be collaborating with Aftermath rapper/producer Dr. Dre for her upcoming album
Control Freak. "[‘My Love Is Like Whoa’] was a moment and I don’t
need to revisit that again," Mya told TV Guide. "That’s how I felt
then and that’s what I said, and now I can leave it alone. But this album is
really sassy. The lyrics will be more…interpretable, versus so straightforward
and blunt."
