(AllHipHop News) Jhené Aiko found herself as the target of internet scorn following an interview she did with BBC Radio. During the conversation, the “Sativa” singer admitted she went on a platonic date with Big Sean while she was still in a relationship with her then-boyfriend.

In a lengthy Twitter response, the Los Angeles songstress insisted the situation took place before her marriage with Dot Da Genius and she was not intimate with Big Sean at that time.

(AllHipHop News) Unlike previous years, there weren’t that many complaints about the winner of the Best Rap Album Grammy award this year. Kendrick Lamar took home the honor for his critically acclaimed DAMN by beating out Jay-Z’s 4:44, Rapsody’s Laila’s Wisdom, Tyler, The Creator’s Flower Boy, and Migos’ Culture.

Migos also lost the Best Rap Performance award to Kendrick. The Recording Academy chose the TDE emcee’s “Humble” over the trio’s “Bad And Boujee.”

It turns out Migos feel they should have won at least one of those nominations. The Atlanta-based group talked about their Grammy losses during an interview with NME.

“They cheated us,” said Offset. Quavo added, “There was nothing bigger than the f-cking Culture album this whole last year, they’re scared to handle the three-headed monster… Ooh! but we’ll be back next year.”

Migos released Culture II on January 26. The album opened at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 199,000 album-equivalent units.

(AllHipHop News) Jailed rap mogul Suge Knight is facing a $3.3 million tax bill from California and U.S. federal authorities.

Knight, who is currently incarcerated in Los Angeles County Jail facing a murder charge over an alleged hit-and-run incident, is now facing two tax liens, according to documents.

Agents for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) accuse the former Death Row Records boss, 52, of owing a total of $3.3 million; $3.28 million in federal taxes, and $44,600 to the state of California.

His alleged debts relate to the years 1997 to 2000 and from 2011 to 2013.

Knight, a leading figure in the gangsta rap movement of the 1990s, is set to stand trial in the coming months over the alleged 2015 hit-and-run incident in a Los Angeles car park.

He is accused of running down Terry Carter and Cle ‘Bone’ Sloan in an LA parking lot after an alleged altercation near the set of the N.W.A. biopic “Straight Outta Compton.”

Carter was killed but Sloan survived his injuries. If convicted of murder Knight faces life in prison.

The hip-hop mogul, real name, Marion Knight Jr., has also been indicted over alleged threats made against the director of the biopic, F. Gary Gray.

Knight has pleaded not guilty to a felony count of making death threats against the filmmaker.

(AllHipHop News) According to reports, hit producer Drumma Boy is mourning the loss of his older brother, who was shot and killed over the weekend in Atlanta.

Ensayne Wayne, born Ferrell Miles,, was involved in an altercation that ended in a shootout at a store Drumma Boy owns in Northwest Atlanta.

According to Fox 5, investigators are trying to determine what led to the shootout inside of Drumma Boy’s The House of Fresh clothing store.

Police said the hit producer was struck in the chest and pronounced dead shortly after the shooting.

“I lost the first person I ever looked up too in life… the first person I ever wanted to be like… My BIG blood-brother,” Drumma Boy said. “My dad showed me the fundamentals of music & music theory, but my brother introduced me to making beats. He paved the way for me, introduced me to everybody he could, continuously bragged about me and gave me an alternative route to take. I always just wanted to see him smile and be proud of the moves I made as well as the moves we made together. Like his younger brother Drumma Boy, Ensayne Wayne had a very successful career as a producer.

He racked up credits for artists like Future, Jeezy, Plies, Xzibit, and others.

(AllHipHop News) Cardi B will proceed with three planned concerts in Los Angeles in spite of receiving threats from local gang members.

Last week, the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker caused uproar after posting a snap of herself wearing a royal blue fur coat on Instagram.

“I hate wearing Flue but this coat was too poppin (sic),” she captioned the photo.

The term “flue” is used by Los Angeles gang The Bloods, who commonly substitute it when using the word “blue,” as to not so much as utter the symbolic color representing their rival gang, The Crips.

Even after removing the caption and disabling the comments, Cardi was still on the receiving end of death threats.

But according to editors at TMZ.com, Cardi will play her scheduled gigs at Los Angeles nightclubs next week though her security staff is being increased.

Compton rapper YG, who is a known Piru Blood gang member, co-signed Cardi B and guaranteed her safety.

“The homegirl straight,” YG said. “She get love. She gets love from me, know what I’m saying.”

Bosses at the Murano, Penthouse, and Ace of Diamonds clubs have also reportedly held emergency meetings to discuss the threats, and are investigating how best to control the crowds.

(AllHipHop News) Gucci Mane’s life story is set to be the subject of a big screen film.

Executives at Paramount Pictures and Imagine Entertainment have acquired the rights to the hip-hop star’s 2017 book “The Autobiography of Gucci Mane,” according to Variety.

It is believed studio bosses plan to work with the same producers who made 2002 film “8 Mile,” which was based heavily on rapper Eminem’s own story.

Alabama-born Gucci, real name Radric Davis, wrote most of the autobiography while serving a lengthy prison sentence, with the tome telling of his difficult childhood, drug addiction as well as career highs and lows.

He was sentenced in August 2014, to serve three years and three months in prison after pleading guilty to a federal firearms charge.

The judge also sentenced him to serve three years of supervised release with extra limitations on his travel.

In January, the rapper took to Twitter to share that he hoped he would be able to direct a film based on his life.

While a director for the new project is yet to be announced, Brian Grazer and Erica Huggins will produce.

The biopic isn’t Gucci’s first brush with Hollywood, as he previously starred in Harmony Korine’s 2013 film “Spring Breakers” alongside James Franco and Selena Gomez.
