50 Cent Shuts Down Vlad Interview Regarding His 9-Shot Shooting

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

50 Cent is a Hip-Hop heavy! Dude’s power is real! From a journalism perspective, it is hard to get somebody to straight get something taken off a sit. But this is Vlad we are talking about. Recently, there has been an amazing wave of passive protest and overt blockery of the site. You all already know, people hate Vlad or love him. But, a lot of the rappers and others that once supported DJ Vlad have now moved to remove their support of the site.

Anyway, the name of Kal Dawson was no familiar to me until today. Apparently, he was there the day 50 Cent got shot nine times and even got shot himself! “Fraudulent” was plastered on 50 Cent’s social media for a few minutes today…and then it was all gone. The interview with Dawson, the social media post and…all the reports were old (including this one).  Dawson said,  “I was in the passenger seat, we pulled up in front of this house and we’re sitting in the car. Some kid had a hoodie on and a ski mask and he started walking towards the vehicle and we paid him no mind but as he got closer he pulled out a gun and started shooting.” And that was that.

50 Cent is doing a lot these days and I respect it. He seems like he’s also going to mature a bit.

Nobody will be charged in the near-fatal shooting of Jacob Blake.

Rusten Sheskey, who shot the 29-year old Blake in the back will not face charges in the shooting, which left him paralyzed. Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley made the announcement on Tuesday.

None of the other officers will be charged either.

Graveley said he made the startling choice to charge no one because of the evidence that he could not see on cellphone evidence of Sheskey shooting Blake at point-blank range in front of his children.

The brazen act of brutality lead to international uprisings and protests.

Reports have just confirmed that the 2021 GRAMMYS will be postponed because of the current uptick of U.S. COVID-19 cases.

Originally, the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards was scheduled for January 31. Producers were already planning to do a hybrid show, with partial performances online and others live in the venues. Yet with coronavirus cases (20.9 M since the outbreak) and deaths (354K since the outbreak) spiking over the last three months, all organizers are jumping into emergency mode and taking precautionary measures to safely secure the entertainers and people involved in the story.

Trevor Noah was tapped to be the host, and has not released a statement on the setback.

Hip-Hop fans will surely be disappointed as some of their favorite superstars were slated to be celebrated by their peers at the event. R&B singer, and the heir to Tina Turner’s throne, Beyoncé picked up nine nominations. With these nods, she hits a total of 79 nominations (winning 24 actual awards). This includes her solo career, time with Destiny’s Child, and collaboration with her husband, making her the second-most awarded person in GRAMMY history (most nominated woman). Only one human being ever on the planet earth has been nominated and that is Quincy Jones.

All she needs to do is drop an album this year and next year, she is even topping the man behind Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, and the soundtrack of The Wiz.

Others up for awards are D Smoke, Dua Lipa, Drake, Lil Baby, Roddy Ricch, DaBaby, Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, Jhene Aiko, Ledisi, and Chloe and Halle to name a few.

Jimmy Iovine And Dr. Dre Are Starting Their Own High School

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Jimmy Iovine, one of the most influential executives in Hip-Hop, opens up the new year with a substantial investment into the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy, to further the institution’s dream of building a magnet high school in Los Angeles. 

The high school will be connected to the revolutionary program at the University of Southern California that exclusively focuses on arts and technology, and pushes an educational philosophy called “The Business of Innovation.”

The capital for the investment comes from Iovine’s recent sale of his entire 259-song catalog to African-American music maker Niles Rodgers and Merck Mercuriadis’ Hipgnosis Songs Fund. 

Hipgnosis is a British Guernsey-registered music IP investment and song management company that also acquired the copyrights of Black music titans RZA and L.A. Reid, and pop music chart-toppers and music makers Mark Ronson, Barry Manilow, Nikki Sixx, and Tom DeLonge.

Jimmy Iovine revealed the excitement he has from selling his masters to the company founded by the man responsible for the samples used in Hip-Hop’s biggest songs. He even shared his plans for some of the money that he got from the acquisition.

“I’m happy that my work as a producer with so many great artists has found the right home with Merck and Hipgnosis,” the Interscope and Beats by Dre co-founder said. “I am going to use the proceeds from the deal to help Iovine Young Academy’s initiative to build a high school in South LA as part of the Iovine Young Academy at USC and continue our efforts to support education.”

Jimmy Iovine co-founded Interscope in 1990 and saw its first major hits by collaborating with the West Coast rap label Death Row in 1992 and some fringe rock groups. 

It was there that he formed a professional relationship with Dr. Dre and helped the NWA producer start his Aftermath Records. In 2006, he and Dre founded Beats Electronics — the parent company behind Beats by Dre— and sold that venture for $3 billion in May 2014 to Apple Inc. 

In 2013, he and Dre continued as partners investing $70 million into USC to form the Iovine Young Academy, which now offers students the opportunity to earn a Bachelors’s and a Master’s in arts, technology, and business of innovation.

Iovine’s catalog includes production credit on projects like “8 Mile” (2002) and Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (2005). He’s also worked with artists like U2, Meat Loaf, Stevie Nicks, and Joan Jett.

In many ways, this is a sweet 360 moment for Hipgnosis founder, Niles Rodgers. When Hip-Hop first started his samples were used to make the classics that catapulted the culture to the top of the charts — and originally he did not reap the benefits. 

Pieces of his music were used in songs by Nas, NORE, Snoop Dogg, DJ Premier, Kurtis Blow, J Dilla, P. Diddy, Slim Thug, Mary J. Blige, Jadakiss, Rick Ross, The Game, Xzibit, Freeway, Black Eyed Peas, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and most notably can be heard on The Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight,” and LL Cool J’s “Rock the Bells.”

After redefining his understanding of publishing and setting up a model where he would not be exploited, Rodgers now is poised to reap the benefits, as one of the most successful Black producers and publishers in music. 

Rodgers produced Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” and David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” for heaven sakes. Now … he’s locked into 50 Cent and Eminem’s bag too.

If Iovine’s objective with the schools (9th grade through the graduate level), is to educate on the business, he has to make sure he includes a study on Rodgers’ model. 

That is the epitome of the Business of Innovation.

 

DaBaby and DaniLeigh Ball Out At The Jewelry Shop!

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

Haters can walk into this room right now! Haters you have a safe space! DaBaby and his girlfriend DaniLeigh went shopping for jewelry. First things first, I didn’t even know these two were dating so that’s news to me (Yeah, I am late because I don’t really care). It goes to show you how much I am in touch with what these people are doing out here. But this is true, because I know a girl and she is p##### off that this North Carolina rapper is dropping all of this money and baggage on this chick. She is thoroughly upset!

Me on the other hand, I couldn’t care less! I am quite fascinated about this though. To me it is amazing how much money rappers spend on jewelry and material things, when there is so much more to be conquered in this day and age. So, there is bitcoin stock and even Real Estate that could be invested in, but diamonds are a rapper’s best friend. I am also not the guy to tell another man what to do with his money so that’s that. But I am very surprised at this video because there is so much to see. There are so many little nuances in the video and you should look at it to see them all. Most people are just focusing on DaniLeigh and DaBaby! I am looking at everything from the jeweler and his treatment of DaBaby as well as the crewmembers fawning. There’s more!

I don’t know, maybe I am just thinking too much into this. Check it out and you be the judge.

Typhanie & Co: Not Your Average Female Rapper

By: Shirley Ju Updated Category: Breeding Ground
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Typhanie & Co is here to bless the rap game with her talents and beauty. The New Orleans, Louisiana native is a rapper, model, graphic designer, and entrepreneur all in one, who prides herself in being a versatile lyricist. What sets her apart from all the other female rappers is her knack for hip-hop and all its elements, pulling from the greats such as Missy Elliot, Drake, and Lil Wayne. 

In describing herself, she simply states, “I’m a super creative person across the board, and I keep trying to find different ways to get that creativity out to the world.”

Being a Howard alum and savvy to many political issues in the world, Typhanie & Co is a strong, black woman who isn’t taking no for an answer. With her focus on self-growth and wealth, she continues to put in the work behind-the-scenes as she climbs her way to the top.

With her newest project Double Tap, she unleashes 6 of her hardest freestyles — fan favorites directly pulled from her Instagram page. 

AllHipHop: What sets you apart from other females?

Typhanie & Co: In general, there are some female rappers that try to incorporate diversity but I do a way better job at showing the different types of rap that can be presented. It doesn’t always have to be hardcore, doesn’t always have to be stripper music. Even though I love that music, I present a variety of different elements that goes into making a rap song. It’s lyricism that goes with that, trying to tighten up my vocals, even adding a little R&B mix into the rap to make it sound a little different. Some of the women find their lane and stay in it, and props to them for that, but I want to be able to do everything across the board when it comes to rap. 

AllHipHop: Being a military brat from New Orleans, how does that play into your life and career?

Typhanie & Co: I was born originally in New Orleans, Louisiana, lived there for a few years while my mom joined the air force. I ended up moving up a lot growing up. Every 3 or 4 years we’re packing to move into a new place. That really helped me be able to adapt to meeting new people, taking in the diversity of all the different areas I’ve been at. It makes it easier to recognize there are different things that people are interested in, so it’s easier to tap into.

AllHipHop: Who would you say is your biggest influence?

Typhanie & Co: Definitely Missy Elliot, she’s one of those artists that really didn’t try to stay inside of a box. She always thought outside of the box, she’s a big influence of mine. Drake because he did a really good job combining the rap and R&B sound, he’s a really big influence. Those are my top 2 people that really had an impact on how I go about making my music. Lil Wayne is always my favorite rapper, especially old Wayne.

AllHipHop: Favorite Wayne song?

Typhanie & Co: It’s hard to pick. I like his freestyles. I like all his older stuff, even past No Ceilings. His song “Seat Down Low,” his freestyle on that is one of my favorites. Obviously everybody likes the Carter 3, that whole tape is really good. I still play that to this day for sure. [laughs] 

AllHipHop: At what point did you realize this music thing was forreal?

Typhanie & Co: It started out as a hobby, I wanted to see if it’s something I could tackle. Once I got into the booth and realized I can actually really write, now we got to work on delivery. Once I got to the point where I could really put a whole song together. Putting out my first single a little over a year ago, the feedback I got from that: people really enjoying it. People liked what I was doing, I’m like okay great. I wasn’t imagining I was good, people actually really do think I’m good. That’s when I started to put more effort into everything I was doing and making sure I was taking criticism constructively because if you’re trying to make music for the people to consume, you have to listen to what the people say.

AllHipHop: What was the inspiration behind your name?

Typhanie & Co: My real name is Typhanie. I came up with Typhanie & Co years ago back in MySpace days. I needed a social media handle, okay I can do a play on the Tiffany & Co jewelry company and make it for me. Typhanie & Co encompasses a lot of me because yes I’m a rapper but there’s always more things that I want to do. I want to rap, I want to have a clothing line. I want to have my business that’s launching, Canna Rosa, to be successful. I want to be a graphic designer, there’s so much. So many and’s I can add on for what Tiffany wants to do, Typhanie & Co stuck.

AllHipHop: What’s the premise of Canna Rosa?

Typhanie & Co: Right now, I’m in my final stages of launching Canna Rosa. I’m taking organic rose petals and drying them out, getting them prepped so people can smoke out of them. They can smoke whatever herb of choice, but mostly weed. People usually smoke weed. My shipment of roses came in today so I can finalize that and get my website up and running.

AllHipHop: Double Tap out now! How are you feeling?

Typhanie & Co: It’s really exciting to have a full project finally out on streaming platforms, something to really promote for people to hear. It’s not one song, there’s a variety of things you can listen to now. It’s been great, we’ve been getting excellent feedback. Getting a lot of good coverage on it. A really good feeling to finally have a project out there. People were asking for it for so long, “when am I going to be able to stream…?” Double Tap is mostly comprised of freestyles that I’ve posted on my Instagram. Most of the songs I have were streaming directly through Instagram and nowhere else, people were asking “when am I going to be able to listen to this on iTunes, Tidal, etc.?” Came up with the genius idea to package them all up and put them on one EP called Double Tap. You double tap on Instagram, now you can double tap and listen to the song in your car. 

AllHipHop: “Reloaded” is super motivational, what were you going through recording this one?

Typhanie & Co:  “Reloaded” is definitely my favorite song on the project. My most vulnerable song that I ever recorded, even though I know I can be more vulnerable than that. I was going through a time where I wanted to quit. I didn’t want to do music anymore, didn’t even know what I wanted to do. I was at a point in life where what is for me? Because it seemed like nothing right now is for me.

I woke up one day, found a beat and started writing to it. It felt like God was guiding my pen and trying to give me advice through the words he’s telling me to write. On “Reloaded,” I talk about procrastination and how it could really be conflicted with a lot of different things. It could be you needing to slow down and reevaluate before you keep pushing yourself further, so you can understand what it is that you need to be doing.“Reloaded” is a song I wrote that motivated me to keep going and keep trying.

AllHipHop: What’s the reality of the independent grind?

Typhanie & Co: It’s hard, but I can understand how it’d be harder for people who don’t have such a good team like me. Yes I’m independent, but my team does such a good job in helping me get things done. If there are days where I’m not as productive as I need to be, they’d make sure I get up and do what I need to do. They help push the music, get it in the right hands, recruit more people to join our team so it can be pushed. A lot of independent artists get overlooked because a lot of people are looking for what’s already trending on social media, what’s already trending on Spotify. Really trying to get numbers on your own is a lot harder than I anticipated, but still possible.

AllHipHop: What songs mean the most to you and why?

Typhanie & Co: Definitely “Reloaded” because that’s the one that pulled me up out of that slump when I wrote it. “Departing from London” was a song that literally got its name because I wrote it on the plane right back from London. My first feel-good song I wrote that’s uppity, it genuinely felt like a complete song once we finished that.

AllHipHop: Talk about being an overall creative, even in your music videos. 

Typhanie & Co: Me having a creative eye, I always know what I want things to look like. Thankfully I’m a graphic designer so I’m able to create my own cover art. Create something that can help everybody else see what I see, so my vision comes to life. It can be annoying because the creativity in me makes me a perfectionist on the low. When my videos aren’t coming out the way I want them to or little things can get me wanting to be super hands-on, when really I have a team that knows what they’re doing. I have to be more willing to trust that they’re going to execute my vision perfectly. It can be hindering in some ways trying to relinquish that control, but it’s definitely helpful when I need to get something done on my own. 

AllHipHop: How does it feel being a Howard Alum? What did you study?

Typhanie & Co: I’m so glad to be able to say I graduated from Howard University. That’s my dream school in high school so getting in and attending was definitely amazing, such a great experience. It really taught me a lot about the diversity within the black community itself. Even though it’s an HBCU, there are a lot of types of different black people that grew up with different backgrounds, that come from different countries. People overlook that often. Going to Howard made me realize there’s a lot more that the black community has to offer.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CJZKNaMhiFF/

It made me more confident in being a black woman altogether, I don’t have to try to hold back from my blackness when I’m in diverse crowds because that’s not what we’re put on earth to do. We aren’t put on earth to hold back any part of ourselves. It taught me how to dress because if you cannot dress, you can’t walk around the yard. [laughs] I had to get a better fashion sense. It’s a really empowering school that you can go to. The administration can be difficult so you really learn the art of finessing, I got really good at finessing my way through stuff because of Howard. 

AllHipHop: What is it you want fans to get from your story?

Typhanie & Co: Even if you’re unsure of your path in the beginning, you have to trust it’s going to reveal itself to you eventually. You can’t really rush the process. You got to make sure you’re learning along the way, don’t get frustrated. Don’t quit at anything before you really see yourself in the big picture. You have to be able to envision it before you can achieve it, so you really shouldn’t quit before you can really envision that. Applying creativity, you don’t have to be cookie-cutter. Be creative, approach things with a different mindset than what you see everyone else is doing. Even if it’s minor, don’t do it the same as everybody else.

AllHipHop: What’s your favorite scene in Dark Knight?

Typhanie & Co: I honestly like the scene where The Joker is walking away from the hospital as it was exploding. I read somewhere that him walking away from that hospital blowing up, something faulty happened in the explosions. He had to improvise on the spot to make sure they could catch the scene of this explosion that’s supposed to happen. He’s looking around and kept going. Knowing that and rewatching the movie so many times, he did such a good job as acting as The Joker the whole movie. I’ve always been on the side of The Joker because you’re making valid points, there’s a lot of corruption in the world. [laughs]

AllHipHop: How many times have you seen the movie?

Typhanie & Co: Over 50 times honestly. It’s super long, but I love it. It’s so good. 

AllHipHop: 3 things you need in the studio?

Typhanie & Co: Red Bull, alcohol preferably whiskey or tequila, and vibes. I need good vibes, I can’t write if there’s not good vibes around me.

AllHipHop: Goals yourself as an artist at this point of your career?

Typhanie & Co: I want to get some great placements on different outlets. Video game placements would be dope, TV placements on different Netflix, Hulu, Showtime shows, movie placements. I want to be able to watch a show and say “oh that’s my song playing!” That’d make me feel really excited. Of course getting my streams up, everybody wants to establish a bigger audience. I really want to be able to manage my music career and my business I’m starting because I really believe they’re going to take off at the same time. I have to be prepared to make sure I can balance all of that. 

 

Blac Chyna Sues For Character Assassination!

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

Blac Chyna is suing TMZ. What!? It looks like black Chyna has had it up to here with people talking bad about her. Apparently, there is a report out there that says she is a Coke Head and she is not feeling that at all. So what does she do? She filed a lawsuit, which is what you should do when you feel someone has violated you.

Blac Chyna is literally doing this in the legal form and has filed for the invasion of privacy and defamation of character. In a new report by The Blast, they detail exactly the terms of the lawsuit and her argument against the individuals and corporations that she feels have done wrong to her. She wants some money, but how much has not been disclosed. Check this out!

Report from The Blast

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Chyna has filed a lawsuit against TMZ and American Media for defamation, conversion, public disclosure of private facts, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

In the suit, Chyna accuses the defendants of violating her rights by publishing stories based on alleged confidential documents filed in her custody battle with Rob Kardashian over their daughter Dream.

On January 3, 2020, Rob filed court documents in the custody battle accusing Chyna of neglecting Dream and endangering her health and safety. She says the documents contained false and defamatory accusations against her.

In the documents filed by Rob, he accused her of using illegal drugs like cocaine, that she taught their daughter to twerk, neglected Dream’s basic hygiene and that she was repeatedly drunk in front of their kid. Chyna says all of this is a lie.

She says TMZ somehow obtained the confidential document and published the false statements to the world. She says the document is sealed under California law. Chyna is unsure how the documents were leaked to the outlet.

To make matters worse, she says her custody agreement was also leaked to US Weekly (owned by American Media) last month. Chyna says she was trying to hash out things with Rob privately but “that peace was short-lived.”

Yella Beezy’s Female Fans Go Crazy After His Manhood Leaks All Over The Internet In Nude Video

Dallas, Texas rapper Markies Deandre Conway, who also goes by the name Yella Beezy, is trending “bigly” on the Internet after pictures of his whole “manhood” were leaked to the public. 

Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem like a side-chick gone wild or a DM gift shared with the wrong hot thang, but the image was pulled from a surveillance camera from the “Goin Through Some Thangs” artist’s home. 

It was someone in the crib or in (was in) his circle! 

Dropped on Twitter by an anonymous source, the clip shows him roaming across his kitchen with his hands pulled down to his knees. His black turtleneck and his black pants are separated by a clear viewing from the top of his waist to the bottom on his thighs, showing the …uhm … swinging motion of his manhood. 

At the start of the video, he picks up some garments (maybe a bag) and a firearm. 

The recording device is positioned from an aerial position, possibly at the room’s entrance, and captures a glimpse of the man’s semi-nakedness. 

Just violating.

The 29-year-old can’t seem to get a break. But he holding his head. On Instagram he stated his position, “Either fwm the long way or don’t fwm at all…it’s simple‼️”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CJmignSpzlx/?

Almost a month ago, it was reported by The Dallas Morning News that he was friends with the guy Kewon Dontrell White, 22, who was arrested in connection to the death of Mo3, another rapper. 

Fans spied flicks of him with White in some older pictures. The relationship between Yella Beezy and Mo3 has been complicated and some suspect antagonistic in nature. 

Both Texas rappers have been closely tied to street relations. In 2018, Beezy was shot at 12 times and hit 3 times. In November, Mo3 was shot and killed.

Boosie Hopes To Lead Democrats To Victory By Casting His First-Ever Vote In Crucial Runoff Election

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Rapper Boosie made a political statement earlier today (January 5th) by voting for the first time in his life.

The wheel-chair bound rapper, who is still recovering after being shot in the leg on his birthday (November 14th, 2020), decided to participate in the Georgia runoff election by casting his vote.

“If I’m voting everybody need to vote. I’ve been watching that runoff, I’m fiittin’ to vote man. That man fittin’ to change some s***. I’m telling y’all I’m voting for Warnock,” Boosie said as he wheeled himself into his local polling place.

The rapper voted for Reverend Raphael Warnock, who is attempting to best Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler in one of two key contests happening today.

A post shared by Boosie (@booosienewig)

“My first time ever voting. I’ve been watching the runoffs and I just feel like me coming out here will inspire a lot of people to go vote,” Boosie said. I feel like Warnock going to do some things that’s on my mind also, so I feel like my vote will matter. I just want to see more of my African-American people coming out here and vote. I’d like to see more of that. I’m looking out here and I don’t see a lot of that so I think more African Americans need to come vote because we have it harder as a race and if we want to make change we got to vote.”

Republican Senator David Perdue is attempting to win a second term against Democratic candidate John Ossoff. The elections are critical. If the Democrats win both contests, the party will take control of the Senate away from the Republicans.

The Dems would have control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. A win would make Democratic President Joe Biden’s job much easier to govern the country as he prepares to be sworn in on January 20th.

Woman Alleges AGAIN That She Is Being Harassed By Nicki Minaj

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

By now, we know Nicki Minaj is living her best life. She is married to a husband she has stuck with for a few years. Kenneth Petty, although he has some things in his past, has risen to the occasion as a husband (we think). And now, they have a new baby together. One would think that all is well with the queen, right?

No.

There is a story that no one is saying anything about and it baffles me why it is not more furor is around this. Actually, that’s not true. Nobody out here really wants to have smoke with Nicki Minaj, not even people that purport to do journalism. Queen Nicki and Kenneth have a person out here that is accusing them of harassment. That person happens to be, alleges to be, the woman that he sexually assaulted many years ago.

Now, this is a crime that he was convicted of back in the day, but he still managed to scoop Nickie up because they go way back and she knows him as a person. This is not to say that nobody cares but it’s to say that it is getting to be old news. Plus, without somebody like TMZ jumping into the fray, nobody literally cares.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CJlyObJnMWy/?utm_source=ig_embed

There is another side to this.

This woman has hopped on the internet AGAIN asking for The Pettys to leave her alone. She claims that Nicki and Kenneth are harassing her and her family via phone calls and other things apparently. What I don’t understand is why the woman does not go to the proper authorities and file a claim or a complaint against the people she says are harassing her. These harassment claims started last year when she made a video and an interview with a media outlet where she detailed the assault she suffered. And then everything was quiet.

In the new year, she’s already got it popping and locking with the sensational new claims. But honestly, nobody is trying to hear it because she is on the Internet again as opposed to going to the authorities. The Internet has spawned a new era of human beings that screams “look at me, look at me” instead of going through the proper channels to get things done. I can’t lie, it makes me rethink this entire situation because if there was truly a new crime committed there would be a huge incentive to get that done in a legal manner. If you see Nicki Minaj‘s name, then you were going to get attention. You might even get money to shut up.

Again, this is not to reduce what she may have gone through to me or talk but it’s also to say that you cannot file charges by making a sensation claim on the Internet.

Could Bobby Shmurda Get An Early Release? LOOKS LIKE IT!

Incarcerated BROOKLYN Rapper Bobby Shmurda could be getting an early release according to reports.

The rapper could be getting out as early as February according to a report by TMZ. The rapper, first went to the bing in 2016 to various charges that led him to be sentenced for up to seven years. He got some time shaved off for time served and good behavior. Recently, we saw Rowdy Rebel get out and celebrate his grand return to the world in glorious fashion! I was scared for him to get pinched and go right back in!

At this point, all Bobby really has to do is stay out of trouble and he’ll be out by February 23, 2021! What do you guys think is going to happen when he gets out of jail!?!

Bobby Shmurda’s GS9 Rapper Rowdy Rebel Released From Prison

Do you think Rowdy Rebel and him will do incredible things in the music industry or will there just be problems? If for some reason, if for some reason Bobby is unable to maintain his cool status with the department of corrections, he’ll be in jail until December which is when he was scheduled to be released.

“Dream big & reach high eventually you’ll find your cloud,” Wack 100 said. “@ncrediblediapers something I’ve been working on for maybe 3 yrs now – My thoughts my ambitions and my amazing team. @nickcannon for allowing me to use his name to brand my product. Man didn’t want a dime from me just said he wanted to see me win.”

Wack also thanked his “haters” for driving his success and keeping him on track as he launched the diaper company.

“My haters your the source of my fuel, S### y’all gave me rocket fuel thanks to you I’m to the moon on that ass,” Wack 100 said. “I stand a man and forever a #Piru never laying down my flag rather it be the streets prison or the 50th floor. We gone change the narrative. Piru’s ain’t just a street gang it’s a Billion dollar manifest.”

Princess Love, who shares twins with Ray J. and is expecting a third child with the reality star, offered up her children as potential models for Ncredible Diapers.

YK Osiris Trades It All In Unless It Is A Video!

YK Osiris IS not playing in 2021! He brought in the new year a revealing that he has gotten rid of all of his luxury cars in exchange for a Hyundai. That’s right, a rapper who openly admits that he drives a Hyundai. I am not quite sure how the community has expressed their feelings on this one but I think the overwhelming vibe is that it’s positive. I think that it’s positive myself. And I welcome Mr. Osiris to the basic car community, which I have been a member of since I started driving. Salute me, young man! 

Here is the reality, people: we are all broke in some form or fashion! Even Jay-Z is broke to Bill Gates. All Cap!  If you have a car note or any note, you are in debt. If you are in debt, then you are not truly free. YK Osiris is doing with most of us need to do and that is free ourselves of debt! 

He may also be getting ahead of possible jokes, before they drop! If somebody sees him in a car that he’s not supposed to be in, i.e. a Hyundai Sonata (which I happen to love), the Internet could go incredibly cruel on him and start to create their own narrative. But if he puts it out there and gives the reasoning behind him driving that kind of a car, he controls the narrative! The reality is rappers are not always super smart with their money and they typically live with other peoples’ opinions in mind.

Why do you think rappers wear the most jewelry, or drive the biggest car is, or have the prettiest girls, because they just want all that? Maybe! I sure do, but it’s also a part of the game of capitalism and showing how big and bad you are to the rest of the world. It’s not necessarily the best girl, or the best vehicle, home, or even the best jewelry. It’s just the most – because! “I’ma stunt on ni99as!”

So let me get off my soapbox and give this man his respect and get on to the next story.

Wait a sec, in his new video for “Money Keep Coming” – he riding in the hood throwing money around. I guess some things never change.

Blac Chyna Files Defamation Lawsuit Against TMZ & AMI Over Rob Kardashian’s Cocaine Accusations

Blac Chyna [born Angela Renée White] is taking legal action against one of the most-read celebrity news websites on the internet. The dispute apparently stems from tabloid media outlets publishing private documents associated with Chyna’s custody battle with Rob Kardashian of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

According to The Blast, the 32-year-old mother of Dream Kardashian is accusing TMZ and American Media, Inc. (AMI) of defamation, conversion, public disclosure of private facts, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. This court-based move comes after the ex-couple reportedly reached a custody agreement late last year.

In documents filed by Rob near the start of 2020, he accused Blac Chyna of using illegal drugs such as cocaine, being repeatedly intoxicated in front of Dream, a neglecting Dream’s personal hygiene. Chyna insisted these “defamatory” accusations were untrue and the filings were supposed to be sealed under California law.

White is unclear how those docs were leaked to TMZ and AMI’s US Weekly. The OnlyFans model/aspiring rapper claims the defendants violated her rights by publishing articles that were based on alleged confidential documents and as a result, caused her extreme personal trauma.

Meanwhile, Chyna is also preparing for the 13-episode first season of The Real Blac Chyna reality series to debut on WE tv this week. The Zeus Network’s original program is set to make the move from the subscription-based streaming service to linear television on Thursday, January 7 at 10 pm ET.

2020 saw the loss of two rappers who were on the cusp of stardom. In February, Bashar “Pop Smoke” Jackson was killed during a home invasion in California. Nine months later, Dayvon “King Von” Bennett was killed outside an Atlanta nightspot.

Of course, fans of the two late entertainers were hit hard by the news of their respective deaths, but their loved ones were surely struck with grief by their untimely passing. Award-winning actress Taraji P. Henson spoke to Pop’s brother and Von’s former girlfriend for Facebook Watch’s newest talk show Peace of Mind with Taraji.

“My whole world just crashed. I had never felt a feeling like that. It’s like I was just broken. I want to say like six days before he passed we had broken up and I was real hard on him, I was not tryna see him, I did not want to see him at all,” Asian Doll told Henson and Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation Executive Director Tracie Jade about the loss of King Von.

The Doll SZN Reloaded mixtape creator added, “You can chase this life as long as you want but this cycle it just keeps getting repeated and repeated and repeated to the point it’s like how many more rappers or music influencers are we going to lose until people just really wake up?”

Pop Smoke’s brother, Obasi Jackson, also appeared on the program to talk about the sudden death of his sibling. He addressed dealing with mental health issues as a result of losing a family member and having to navigate through that heavy emotional pain.

Obasi said, “I’m a firm believer that men, Black men too, should be vulnerable… and allow themselves to open up and show the world what they’re feeling and who they truly are. Because we’ve been suppressed, we’ve been locked up, and that’s where all these barbaric actions kind of come from. My mind can’t even grasp onto it sometimes.”

Eminem Addresses Apologizing To Rihanna & Rapping About Snoop Dogg On ‘Zeus’

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Category: News

Eminem’s brand has been closely tied to controversy for over 20 years. He made a name for himself by dissing rappers, popstars, and politicians on his earliest projects like 1999’s The Slim Shady LP and 2000’s The Marshall Mathers LP.

The Shady Records boss’s deluxe version of his latest studio LP actually included a mea culpa for his “Love The Way You Lie” and “The Monster” collaborator Rihanna. Em was offering remorse for bars from “Things Get Worse” which made fun of Chris Brown assaulting the R&B superstar in 2009.

On the track “Zeus” off of the recently released Music to Be Murdered By: Side B, Eminem raps, “And wholeheartedly, apologies, Rihanna For that song that leaked. I’m sorry, Ri. It wasn’t meant to cause you grief. Regardless, it was wrong of me.”

 

The 48-year-old Hip Hop veteran further addressed his unfavorable lyrics about the Rihanna and Chris Brown ordeal during an interview on Sirius XM’s Shade 45. He talked about “Things Get Worse” song from the Relapse era leaking without his knowledge.

“First, I didn’t know how somebody got it. Second of all, I have zero recollection of even remembering doing that verse. The rhyme schemes didn’t even sound familiar to me,” said Eminem. “I was caught off guard too. I was like, ‘What the f###? I said that?'”

Em went on to talk about how he was learning how to rap again during that time period because of his drug addiction. The man born Marshall Mathers added, “It’s 10 plus years old, but I’m not making excuses for it. I said it. I was wrong for saying that. It was f###### stupid.”

In addition, Eminem answered a question about his reference to fellow Dr. Dre disciple Snoop Dogg on “Zeus.” The Detroit representative explained he took issue with Snoop’s tone when he discussed Em not being on his list of the top 10 rappers of all time while on The Breakfast Club.

“I’m like, ‘Where is this coming from? I just saw you. What the f###?’ It threw me for a loop. Again, I probably could’ve got past the whole tone and everything, but it was the last statement when he said, ‘As far as music I can live without, I can live without that s###.’ Now you’re being disrespectful. It just caught me off guard,” offered Eminem.

With the release of the Side B edition, Eminem’s former No.1 Music to Be Murdered By rose back into the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 album chart for a week before slipping back to #10 on the most recent rankings. The project moved more than 1 million units in 2020.

Hip Hop artist Diamonté “Saweetie” Harper made the jump from the recording booth to the small screen. The 27-year-old self-described “Icy Grl” was booked to guest star on Freeform’s Grown-ish sitcom.

Saweetie will be acting alongside Grown-ish‘s main character Zoey Johnson who is portrayed by Yara Shahidi. As part of the college-set Black-ish spinoff, the real-life University of Southern California graduate is playing Joey Bada$$’s musical protégé Indigo.

She means well, but just sometimes she says the wrong things,” Saweetie told EW. “My favorite thing about [playing] Indigo was when both her and Yara were on the same page and having a good time. You can just see the love and excitement that Indigo has for [Zoey].”

The regular cast of Grown-ish includes Deon Cole, Trevor Jackson, Francia Raisa, Emily Arlook, Jordan Buhat, Chloe Bailey, Halle Bailey, Luka Sabbat, and Diggy Simmons. Additionally, Ryan Destiny appears as a recurring character, and Jordyn Woods made a cameo on the program.

Meek Mill & Michael Rubin’s Reform Alliance Helps Pass New Probation & Parole Laws In Michigan

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Category: News

Once again the REFORMAlliance played a role in improving the justice system in America. The organization worked with ACLU of Michigan, the American Conservative Union, Americans for Prosperity, PEW, the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, and Safe & Just Michigan to pass the SB 1048, SB 1050, and SB 1051 laws which will reshape the state’s probation and parole system.

According to REFORM, the legislation will reduce adult felony probation sentences from 5 years to 3 years, prevent endless extensions on misdemeanor and felony probation terms, limit jail sanctions for technical probation violations, and require parole supervision terms to be tailored to a person’s individualized risks and needs.

“It’s encouraging to watch bipartisan leaders from different states recognize the need for fair and rational legislation focused on creating second chances for those in the criminal justice system,” said REFORM co-chair Michael Rubin. “We’re incredibly thankful for Governor [Gretchen] Whitmer for signing these bills into law and for the coalition of groups that supported us throughout this process. This is a tremendous victory for REFORM and a strong way to start 2021.”

Michigan reportedly had the sixth-highest rate of probation supervision in the United States with over 172,000 adults on probation and 17,000 on parole. The new REFORM Alliance bills are said to decrease overall caseloads in the state by 8.4%. Plus, the MIchigan laws will save taxpayers $29.6 million which can be reinvested into evidence-based anti-recidivism programs.

“This bipartisan legislation will bring meaningful change and opportunity to thousands of individuals and families across the state of Michigan,” said REFORM CEO Van Jones. “We thank Governor Whitmer for her fearless commitment and leadership to bolstering her state’s criminal justice system in a fair and balanced way. We look forward to continuing to work with her on impactful reform measures in the future.”

Previously, the REFORM Alliance pulled off a win in California by pushing AB 1950 through the state’s legislature. California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the series of bills last September. REFORM Alliance founding partner Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter called the passing of AB 1950 into law “the most transformative probation bill in this country to date.”

“Michigan’s criminal justice reforms are a positive achievement during a difficult and divisive year. The legislation provides a commonsense approach to justice reform by focusing on redemption, families, and safe communities while saving millions of dollars for Michigan taxpayers,” stated Erin Haney, REFORM National Policy Director.

Haney continued, “Michigan’s efforts capstone a national movement that has seen bipartisan reform victories this year in red, purple, and blue states like California and Louisiana, and can be a model for other states seeking to fix broken criminal justice systems. REFORM Alliance is proud to have helped drive these state victories, and we look forward to working with bipartisan coalitions throughout the nation to support and pass more reforms in 2021.”

Cardi B Calls Out Vince McMahon After She’s Mentioned On WWE’s ‘Monday Night Raw’

Once again Cardi B was trending on social media. This time the Bronx-bred rapper was the talk of Twitter because World Wrestling Entertainment shouted her out on Monday Night Raw.

During a segment on last night’s episode, WWE superstar Angel Garza is seen looking for Cardi B in the locker room area. Instead, the former 24/7 champion found a returning The Boogeyman backstage.

The fact that she was mentioned by Garza and Torrie Wilson on “Raw Legends Night” eventually reached Cardi. She tweeted, “Wait what’s going on? People keep tagging me in WWE stuff?”

That Cardi tweet led to a response from well-known diehard wrestling fan Wale. The DMV emcee tweeted, “They been [waiting for like three] years but today was specific. Pull up [with] da Mysterio mask and cut some promos. They ready for u sis.”

Cardi responded to the Wow… That’s Crazy album creator by posting a meme of herself with a caption that read, “@wale don’t gotta tell me twice. This me on my way to WrestleMania to collect my check.”

Once Cardi saw the actual Raw segment with Garza and The Boogeyman, she cut a social media promo on the WWE CEO. The Grammy winner jokingly tweeted, “WWWWTTTTFFFFFFFFF…. [face with tears of joy emojis]. This is not how my WWE debut was supposed to be! Vince McMahon COUNT YOUR F##### DAYS!!!!”

Throughout the night, Cardi shared some of her favorite wrestlers, including Melina, Sasha Banks, Booker T, Eddie Guerrero, Triple HHH, Batista, John Cena, Trish Stratus, Edge, and Lita. Several WWE superstars reacted to Cardi’s tweets about the promotion.

Trish Stratus simply wrote, “Cardi knows.” Melina posted, “As if I didn’t already love this woman enough and then I see this.” Angel Garza quote-tweeted the “WAP” hitmaker and added, “You were not there!!”

Could Cardi B show up at WrestleMania 37 in March? It is not completely out of the question. Cardi’s family has a history of working with the WWE. Her husband, Offset of The Migos, showed up on an episode of SmackDown Live with “The Queen” Charlotte Flair in 2019.
