Well Known Groupie Puts Famous Dex On Blast!

(AllHipHop Rumors) For the life of me I don’t understand what rappers’ fascination with messing with the “exposing” groupies is about or why they mess with the ones everyone else has had.

I mean Super Head, Kat Stacks, and new age Celina (@xocelina187). Check it, Celina has been linked to drama with Chief Keef, Waka Flocka, O’Shea Jackson Jr., YG, and a few others. She’s even known to lie and fabricate details on these rappers too.

It looks like Famous Dex didn’t get his warning, or he didn’t care because now Celina is blasting him.

Apparently Dex invited her over and she got mad because another woman was over there when she arrived.

Celina posted a screen shot of a text message conversation supposedly between her and Dex. Dex blasts her saying,

“I love blocking hoes like you. F-cking hoe. U mad cause u can’t come suck my dick. Look like u do coke.”

She had a little bit of time to clap back at him in the caption.

“@famousdex baby you need all the help you can get. I found out he told some other b-tch go chill w him so I decided not too go, than he went crazy on me and than normal & so after we talked I went. Right after he showed me his [penis] I saw bumbs all over it so I was like oh nahhh I can’t sorry & he was like do you know who I am?1 lmao and went crazy again so I left and than his b-tch went crazy on me too (pt2) like geez b-tch trust me you can keep the addicted to Xanz, std, walking zombie,” posted Celina

I swear anything goes these days. Lol! These rappers won’t learn until they catch a case or contract something they can’t shake off!

Celina better hope he doesn’t beat her like he did his girlfriend…..She needs help also!

Macklemore and Columbia previously partnered in December 2016 on an educational video to help raise awareness on the impact that PFCs can have on the environment.

The rapper launched the new OutDry Extreme ECO Jacket, which is available nationwide.

(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rapper/actor T.I. has been traveling through Canada for his “Us or Else” tour.

Unfortunately, news emerged this week of T.I.’s bodyguard being stabbed at a concert venue in New Brunswick, Canada.

Public Enemy’s Professor Griff Wants Donald Trump To Meet With “Real Black People” (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Donald Trump has faced criticism from some members of the black community for his choice to promote his meetings with African-American entertainers and athletes.

Prior to officially taking office, the new president was seen at Trump Tower with Kanye West, Steve Harvey, Ray Lewis, and Jim Brown.

However, some citizens would like to see Trump directly connect with African-American members of Congress, civil rights leaders, activists, and policy experts.

One person that crosses the line between entertainer and activist is Professor Griff.

The founding member of Public Enemy is hoping to have his own conversation with Trump.

“Donald Trump, no excuse me, Donald Chump, get it together, bruh,” Griff told TMZ. “Matter of fact, call me.”

He continued, “You’re meeting with all these black people. Why don’t you meet with some real black people that can really sit down with you that makes some damn sense.”

Griff went on to say he was not intending to “take shots” at people that have already visited with the then President-Elect like West and Harvey.

The Pawns in the Game album creator also called on Hip Hop stars to use their music to speak on social issues, and he hopes to see more rappers become active in protests.

A$AP Rocky & London Woman Put Each Other On Blast

(AllHipHop Rumors) I think we all know how A$AP Rocky doesn’t know much about humility.

The rapper has always been a bit cocky and arrogant at times, but it looks like he met his match over in London.

As you know fans already let him have it last year for his reasoning for not commenting and getting involved with politics or issues that were negatively impacting the black community.

Anyway, you know you can’t tell A$AP he isn’t the man, so he was pretty upset with a model in London that wasn’t interested in him.

Remember fellas, everyone isn’t a thot thot thot! Money, fame, and status aren’t everything to everyone, especially not this woman.

A$AP couldn’t take the rejection and proceeded to go in on the woman saying,

“My n-gga if you don’t cut it out n u should be flattered I even acknowledged ya page, u have no idea what I’m inquiring, n u obviously actually wanna keep engaging in convo when I said nice life paragraphs ago, and I was just out in London, I wrote u weeks ago, if I was pressed to see u I wouldn’t wait until I’m back in the states, u not fine wit ya big ass head n now u can go back to ya instagram model world now, I’ll find better or others to shoot with in London, goodbye. Ps pls don’t respond, I don’t wanna have to block ya acct.”

LOL! I just want to know what was said prior to this! The woman captioned the screen shot of the conversation by addressing his ego.

“And this is how ASAP Rocky wants to disrespectfully address me when he never mentioned any work and wanted to “link up” next time he’s in London… lord typical MALES, just cos I’m not fazed by a status…give him strength please,” posted @_soph.swain_

Do you think A$AP really wanted to do business with the woman? Hang out? Or was he just trying to hit? I don’t know what the rest of the DM convo looks like. So I won’t assume. I do know that some of these celebs think that they are GODS though. Carry on!

(AllHipHop News) A&E recently released the highly anticipated first look at eight-time Grammy Award winner, Rihanna in the final season of “Bates Motel.”

RiRi is joined by Vera Farmiga, who returns for double duty as executive producer while also reprising her role as ‘Mother’ who is very much alive and well but only in the twisted, complicated mind of ‘Norman Bates’ played by Freddie Highmore.

According to producers, Rihanna is a super fan of the show and she brings “a newly reimagined and contemporary spin on the iconic character.”

Nicki Minaj, Drake and Lil Wayne Reunite

(AllHipHop News) Drake and Nicki Minaj have reunited, after years of being estranged, thanks to Drake’s feud with Nicki’s ex, Meek Mill.

Nicki posted a picture of herself and Drake on her Instagram page, and Drake followed with the same picture shortly thereafter.

Nicki also posted a picture of herself, Drake and Young Money Boss Lil’ Wayne with the caption “#theBig3.”

Prior to their reunification today (February 1), Nicki and Drake have not spoken or interacted for over two years, while Drake beefed with Meek Mill.

The feud started over Meek’s allegations that Drake didn’t write the verse to his song “R.I.C.O.” from Meek’s#### album Dreams Worth More than Money.

The result was an all out feud that included diss records from Meek (“Wanna Know”), and Drake (“Back to Back”), which also drew rappers like Game and Beanie Sigel into the feud.

However, Nicki decided to stay out of the beef.

During an interview with the New York Times, Nicki weighed in on Meek and Drake’s issues.

“They’re men, grown ass men. It’s between them. I hate it. It doesn’t make me feel good,” Nicki Minaj said. “You don’t ever want to choose sides between people you love. It’s ridiculous. I just want it to be over.”

Earlier this month, Nicki Minaj confirmed her split to Meek Mill after their two year relationship.

Rap Mogul Russell Simmons Was With Donald Trump and Melania On Their First Date

(AllHipHop News) Music mogul Russell Simmons no longer considers Donald Trump a friend.

The Def Jam Recordings co-founder has been a huge critic of the reality TV star-turned-Leader of the Free World ever since Trump first began campaigning for the White House in 2015.

“Not anymore,” Simmons declared to PageSix when asked if he still views Trump as a friend. “I’m sure he doesn’t consider me a friend after some of the statements I’ve made.”

Russell’s decades-long friendship with Donald, who hosted U.S. television competition show “The Apprentice” for 14 seasons, abruptly ended in June, 2015, when the hip-hop legend told numerous media outlets he’d prefer to see another reality TV star run the country.

“We haven’t been friends since the day he announced that (his run for presidency) and I said, ‘I’d rather Kim Kardashian be President’, so he called the office and that was the end of our friendship,” Simmons recalled, noting he refused to talk it out with Trump when the real estate mogul phoned. “I didn’t pick the phone up. I said (to my assistant), ‘It’s on video! Tell him it’s on video!’ And we didn’t speak after that.”

Russell and fellow New York City native Donald were close pals before calling it quits on their friendship.

The rap icon recalls spending “every weekend” with the real estate tycoon at the height of their relationship.

“He wrote the foreword to my first two books – I know him very well,” Simmons said, noting he was present when Trump began romancing his current wife, First Lady Melania Trump, in 1998.

“I was with him on his first date with Melania,” Russell recalled.

Trump has stirred the ire of millions thanks to his divisive statements against immigrants, Latinos, and women.

Although Russell refused to dish on details regarding the character of his former friend, the hip-hop mogul insists Donald is unfit to be the U.S. leader.

“All of our friends have issues, I have issues,” Simmons shares. “I accept people as they are as long as they’re not running for president.”

Russell plans to continue fighting Donald’s presidency by spearheading a “resistance” to the billionaire’s latest executive order, which bans immigrants and refugees from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.

Trae Tha Truth Taps Billyracxx As Next After Release Of Visual Album

Nothing is more pleasing to an emerging artist than getting a nod from someone in their city that has paved the way and for Billyracxx, a

Houston transplant by way of Orlando, that moment came after showing his 20-minute visual album “Flamingos and Finches” to the big homie, Trae Tha Truth.

“Billy is most definitely unique.” Trae said of the up-and-comer. “The movie shows creativity without limits. I think it’s a good look for the younger side of Houston and as a big homie to the city, I salute him. Congrats and keep pushing.”

“Flamingos and Finches” gives glimpses in to the movement that is AnahataXMilytia, weaving increments of live shows and soundbites with random acts of both beauty and the macabre in a manner one can only describe as Lynchian; over a soundtrack that includes guest appearances by OG Maco and Greg Money.

The album portion of “Flamingos and Finches” will be released after Super Bowl weekend with a few surprises.
