(AllHipHop News) Madonna and Vin Diesel were among the stars who showed up for a screening of Diddy’s new documentary at the rap mogul’s Los Angeles home on Wednesday night (June 21).

The hitmaker invited a host of celebrity pals over to his mansion to watch “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop,” and some were really inspired by the film.

Ray J called Diddy a “legend” as he left the Holmby Hills party, while singer and actor Tyrese Gibson told TMZ cameras the documentary had changed his life.

“Y’all have to see this documentary,” he said. “He (Diddy) gave me permission to be great. It’s that f##king powerful… I am a multi-billionaire in the making.”

Snoop Dogg, Lana Del Rey, French Montana and Lil Yachty were also spotted leaving the screening party.

“Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” chronicles the history of Diddy’s record label Bad Boy Entertainment.

He has been active! I mean from the birth of his twins, his induction as the first rapper [inducted] into the Songwriter’s Hall Of Fame, to the announcement of his forthcoming ‘4:44’ album, and more, Jay Z is not playing games this year.

Insiders are now claiming that Jay Z will reportedly be hitting the road this upcoming fall.

“There is a tour to follow. It was originally planned for summer but has been moved to fall because of the kids. You usually tour within a month or so of the album,” said the source.

Did Iggy Azalea & Azealia Banks Squash Their Beef?

By: ClassicOne Updated Category: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Will we ever see an Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks collaboration?

Hmmmmmm maybe; maybe not. The crazy and controversial Azealia Banks recently tweeted that it would be genius for her and Iggy to collaborate as it would be a genius marketing tactic, and she believes that their collaboration would go to No. 1.

No one wants to touch Azealia with a 10-inch pole because all of the controversial situations she’s been involved with. I’ve said it before, and I’m going to say it now; I believe that she may be suffering from some mental health issues.

Anyway Iggy decided to reply to Azealia with a positive yet subtly shady response,

“I believe you may want to meet me in person so you can steal a lock of my hair and cast a spell hoping I die (lol) I don’t agree with many of your opinions but honestly, at times I empathize with you as a creative Gemini woman.

I wish you had spoken to me before deciding I was out to get you when we first came on the scene, but that’s also typical gemini reaction sh-t (I get it)

As a 27 year old adult woman just know I wish you well from one human to another & joke collaboration or not as adults we should move past trivial beef with strangers,” said Iggy.

Azealia replied by saying,

“@IggyAzalea do you know how much of a relief it is to be an adult and be able to dead this thing!”

It’s nice to see them squash the beef and Iggy taking the high road, but I don’t see that collaboration happening. Iggy knows that girl is crazy.

Azealia has to get help man. Wait a minute. I don’t think any of us really needed a collaboration from them anyway.

Nelly Flosses Jewels And Says His Legal Troubles And Tax Bill Are Behind Him

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

(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop star Nelly has revealed all of his recent legal problems have been handled.

The “Hot in Herre” hitmaker was arrested in 2015 for felony drug possession when Tennessee state troopers found narcotics paraphernalia on his tour bus and just a year later he was slapped with a $2 million tax lien by America’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

But the star insists everything is all good nowadays and his trouble with the law is officially over.

“The arrests, I mean I was detained; I wasn’t arrested,” he clarifies to Rolling Stone magazine. “I don’t have any charges. The IRS was something that was taken care of in the next couple weeks.”

In a bid to help clear his name following the tax bill, Nelly’s fans banded together to raise money online using the hashtag #SaveNelly, and although the 42-year-old appreciated the gesture, he insists he never needed financial help.

“I’ve got a quarter of a million dollars of diamond earrings in my (ear),” he notes before laughing, “I think they (IRS agents) would come for that (if I were broke).”

“I mean, there were some f##ked-up moments,” he adds, “but I was never down. It was a situation where I needed to clean up business. We all go through that. But that was it. I cleaned it up and now we’re doing what we do.”

Nelly is focused on the future right now and he is looking to use antagonism and bad press to push himself forward in life.

“I don’t think I’d know what to do if I wasn’t doubted. I wouldn’t know how to channel my energy,” he shares. “I wouldn’t know how to take that and put it into what I’m doing that winds up breaking ground.”

(AllHipHop News) Late rapper Prodigy’s autopsy results have been put on hold pending a toxicology report.

The Mobb Deep star passed away on Tuesday (June 20) after falling ill over the weekend, following a show in Las Vegas.

The band’s publicist revealed the “Survival of the Fittest” star was found unconscious on Tuesday morning after being hospitalized “for complications caused by a sickle cell anemia crisis”.

According to TMZ, the star choked on an egg in hospital on the morning of his passing. It’s unclear whether or not the choking incident contributed to his death.

His autopsy has been completed by the Clark County Medical Examiner but the results will not be released until a toxicology report is available in six to eight weeks.

Prodigy, real name Albert Johnson, reportedly had to be pulled out of a fan meet-and-greet event on Saturday at the Art of Rap Fest 2017 after his security team noticed he was struggling.

His sickle cell crisis was allegedly triggered by the extreme desert temperatures that reached 110 Fahrenheit during the concert.

The city’s WSB-TV news team paid tribute to the late rapper by adding Prodigy references to its newscast.

The station’s “traffic prodigy” Mark Arum sprinkled Mobb Deep bars throughout his various reports.

This is the same local newscast that honored Tupac Shakur in the same manner a week ago.

WSB also recognized Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest with a lyrical eulogy in 2016.

Albert “Prodigy” Johnson passed away on June 20 at the age of 42.

Vic Mensa Talks Confronting DJ Akademiks Over ‘War In Chiraq’ Series (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Over the last few years, DJ Akademiks published a YouTube series called The War In Chiraq where the self-described Late Night Creep creates satirical content about Chicago rap stars.

Many of the videos cover the ongoing violence in the city that has led to rappers being killed or jailed.

This week, Chicago native Vic Mensa confronted Akademiks about the Chiraq series on Everyday Struggle.

Mensa blasted the host for “clowning situations that we go through in real life.”

BET caught up with The Manuscript emcee to get more information about why he called out DJ Akademiks on the subject.

“I think it’s important that we not get completely jaded by this crazy time we’re in where anybody can say anything and it reach millions of people,” Vic stated. “We still have to be able to have some perspective on what’s completely out of line and unacceptable.”

The Roc Nation artist added, “It’s just hundreds of videos probably of him just making jokes about all these young, black guys dying and killing each other in Chicago. Can you imagine if there was The War in Iraq [that was] just a joke? CNN or the people that report on the war in Syria are major news outlets. They’re not joking about it. They’re not making jokes about [Abu Bakr] al-Baghdadi from ISIS.”

Mensa also took issue with Akademiks for being someone he sees as “tearing down” his own culture.

After the Vic Mensa Everyday Struggle episode went viral, DJ Akademiks apologized for some of his coverage of Chicago.

“I’m understanding of the [people] who may share a difference of opinion or who may see me as the agitator and I hope one day we can reconcile,” Ak wrote on Instagram. “I apologize to all artist and people from Chicago for giving light to drill music and it may be one [of] the things I did wrong while coming up. I’ve realized a lot within the last few days.”

(AllHipHop News) Remy Ma was very open about her struggle with an ectopic pregnancy, a condition where the embryo attaches to the woman’s fallopian tubes rather than the uterus.

The Bronx spitter and her husband Papoose shared the difficult situation of losing a child during a season of the Love & Hip Hop reality show.

According to Remy, 80% of women that cannot have children due to medical concerns would be able to give birth with financial assistance.

She is now looking to provide some of that help.

“I’m trying to start my own fund right now, so that women who are like me or have a similar situation to me, but they can’t afford it, could possibly get these procedures done and have children,” Remy told Essence. “Because as a woman, that’s one of the things that you can do that no other being can do.”

(AllHipHop News) The Hip Hop world is still dealing with the loss of Albert “Prodigy” Johnson.

Prodigy’s musical partner, Kejuan “Havoc” Muchita, spoke about the Queen emcee’s death in a video posted on TMZ.

“We’re used to P going to the hospital. Not like every day, but we’ve been dealing with this for over 20 years,” explained Havoc about Prodigy’s battle with sickle-cell disease. “P goes to the hospital, stays in for like three days, five tops, he gets back better, and he’s out.”

According to Havoc, he was told Prodigy was getting better day-by-day during his most recent hospital stint.

“And then yesterday, the day of my little son’s graduation, somebody called me saying that somebody told them they heard a weird rumor,” Prodigy stated. “This was at 11 o’clock in the morning that they heard P passed away in a Las Vegas hospital.”

Originally, Havoc thought the news was a lie, but he later found out from his road manager that Prodigy had really passed away.

The surviving Mobb Deep member learned of the tragic news while he was driving with his children in the car.

“I can’t even listen to ‘Shook Ones’ or any song. I could hardly look at the pictures,” said Havoc.

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Lil Wayne has finally offloaded his Miami Beach mansion after accepting almost half the original selling price.

The “Lollipop” hitmaker first listed the Florida property for $18 million in April 2015, just a month after police officers descended upon the home after receiving a hoax call about four people being shot at the address.
It has taken him more than two years to offload the property but it has finally been sold for $10 million nearly half the original asking price, according to the Miami Herald.

He bought the home in 2011 for $11.6 million.

The rapper’s home, which boasts nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms, rooftop skate park, recording studio, and a shark lagoon, has made the headlines on another occasion too.

In November 2015, authorities raided his property to seize the star’s belongings, including expensive pieces from his art collection, after he allegedly racked up more than a million dollars in unpaid private jet fees.

(AllHipHop News) Rihanna has recruited comedian Dave Chappelle and rapper Kendrick Lamar for her 2017 Diamond Ball.

This will be the singer’s third annual event to raise funds for her Clara Lionel Foundation, and she thinks this could be the biggest show to date.

The first Diamond Ball was held in 2014 and featured Jimmy Kimmel as host, special guest Brad Pitt and a performance from Rihanna herself, while Kevin Hart and Lionel Richie were the stars of the show in 2015.

Rihanna did not host a Diamond Ball last year.

Rihanna, who accepted Harvard University’s 2017 Humanitarian of the Year award in February, set up the Clara Lionel Foundation, named after her grandparents, in 2012.

The Diamond Ball will be held in September.

(AllHipHop Rumors) Someone please come get the Reverend!

Rev. Al Sharpton has been acting up with his selfie game on Instagram lately. Well indirectly. Apparently Al has been snapping, what he believes to be, some nice pics and they are getting “leaked” and are spreading like wild fire on social media.

It looks like a typical hilarious social media post from an older person. The angles are all wrong and he appears to be doing the absolute most. But we love it because it’s like your grandfather or uncle on the ‘gram.

As if one photo wasn’t enough, at least two others have surfaced along with a video that shows Sharpton almost attempting to do a one-handed push up.

Well rapper Nelly is all of us as he had some questions about the selfies that need answers immediately!

“Who in the hell is he sending these pictures to Cicely Tyson …!! Im the first one to say let a homie live but Ngga …. I need answers.”

“I say we boycott IG until we find out who in the hell is leaking these AL Sharpton pictures..!!! #WHOSWITHME….????” posted Nelly.

The photos are hilarious. Btw Al Sharpton said if we have a president who tweets all night, he can get up at 5 AM and show the world that he’s exercising. LOL. Come get AL!
