(AllHipHop News) A $42 million lawsuit against rapper/producer Swizz Beatz has been dismissed.

Bosses at Brooklyn, New York company Metro-Gem Leasing & Funding Corp. filed a civil racketeering lawsuit last year, claiming Swizz, real name Kasseem Dean, leased 11 cars for himself and his wife Alicia Keys through his production company, and then “conspired” with auto dealer Macky Dancy to sell a Ferrari F-12 car to a third party after its lease went into default.

Metro-Gem’s lawyer Paul Solda also alleged that four other car leases went into default.

The lawsuit was dismissed, according to reports.

“This lawsuit was nothing more than an attempted shakedown of a public figure that had nothing to do with the facts,” Dean’s attorney told TMZ.com. “We are gratified, but not surprised, that the court agreed with us.”

Azealia Banks Believes Jay Z Should Hire Her!

(AllHipHop Rumors) It looks like crazy azz Azealia Banks is campaigning for a position over at Roc Nation.

Y’all know Jay Z ain’t going for it. Banks has accused many of stealing her rap style and fashion style over the last few years. It’s really to no surprise that she took to her Instagram to accuse SZA of biting her style also. Apparently she thinks she inspired SZA’s look with SZA [in her mind] striving to copy the “genius” that is Azealia Banks.

One fan told Banks that she needed to focus on herself so that she can one day get signed.

“Girl focus on yourself…..Roc nation will sign you once you do that.” said the fan.

Banks replied by saying,

“@Shoppingbaggwatts it’s just silly at this point. Roc Nation nation is always trying to recreate my sh-t with their female artists. It’s actually quite silly. They should just hire me to A&R all of these projects the right way.”

It ain’t happening sis! You blew every chance you had to do anything. Do you think Banks would be a good A&R though?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Did Drizzy break the bro code?

Wait a minute! I thought it was OVO & XO. LOL. Drake was recently spotted at The Nice Guy with The Weeknd’s ex Bella Hadid. The two were said to be hanging out until 4 in the morning.

Apparently the two tried to throw people off by exiting out of different exits and riding in separate vehicles. There’s one thing though, both of the vehicles belonged to Drake.

Well they could just be industry friends, or they could just be smashing. What are your thoughts? If they are hooking up, maybe this is karma for The Weeknd for dating his ex Bella’s former friend Selena Gomez.

Is Bella even a baddie though?

Big Boi Discusses How Former Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid Helped His Career (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Veteran music business executive L.A. Reid is responsible for helping to advance the careers of OutKast, Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, TLC, Usher, Rihanna, Pink, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Future, 21 Savage, and others.

However, Reid’s legacy took a hit this year when he was accused of harassing an employee while working at Epic Records.

Those reports emerged shortly after it was announced Reid would no longer serve as Chairman/CEO of the label.

Everyday Struggle host Joe Budden strongly criticized the former Island Def Jam Music Group head.

Budden called Reid a “sexual predator” and blasted his ex-boss for not truly understanding Hip Hop culture or rappers.

In an interview with The Breakfast Club, OutKast’s Big Boi was asked about Reid’s connection to Hip Hop.

“The track record speaks for itself. We’re the only rap group to ever win Album of the Year at the Grammys. We still got that belt,” stated Big about the man who signed his group to LaFace Records in the early 1990’s. “I’m not a platinum recording artist. I’m a diamond recording artist.”

The Atlanta native also talked about how Reid and LaFace allowed OutKast to own their publishing which is a source of income that many signed acts are not initially granted.

Big Boi addressed receiving business advice from his longtime associate as well.

“L.A. taught me to invest in what you know,” he revealed.

According to Big, it appears Reid is not done making moves in the entertainment industry.

The “Mic Jack” spitter stated, “He’s good. Y’all just stay tuned.”

Big Boi just dropped his third solo album Boomiverse which was released through Epic Records.

Prodigy Was Reportedly Working On A Musical About The Illuminati Before His Death

(AllHipHop News) “Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body,” rapped Prodigy on the 1995 LL Cool J song “I Shot Ya (Remix).”

After the news broke of Prodigy’s passing, Kathy Iandoli – the co-author of the emcee’s Commissary Kitchen – spoke to Complex about what the Queens native was working on next.

“The one thing we were planning on doing was a musical about the Illuminati and how the obsession with the Illuminati infiltrated people’s opinions of Hip Hop,” said Iandoli.

She added, “We were initially going to do an interactive type of musical with a company that runs The Illuminati Ball, but then we decided to take our idea to an off-Broadway situation. Tell a story with a very specific beginning, middle, and end. But [the story] began with prison; it was semi-autobiographical.”

Prodigy’s music career has included several references to the so-called secret society.

There is a song titled “Illuminati” on his 2008 album H.N.I.C. Pt. 2, and he also covered the topic on his recent The Hegelian Dialectic project.

Earlier this year, the Mobb Deep member spoke to Genius about the Five-Percent Nation, the Nation of Islam, Malachi Z. York, Beyoncé’s “Formation,” and the Illuminati.

“We’re actually at a home of a friend of mine, Cynthia [von Buhler]. She does these immersive plays,” explained Prodigy from the Illuminati Ball House in New York. “I’m actually a part of one of them and we’re working on another one. The original one that we worked on is called The Illuminati Ball. We actually do it here in the house.”

When asked to describe the Illuminati, Prodigy responded, “This dude named Adam Weishaupt started this group of powerful, rich people that basically shape popular opinion and the way the world is gonna move forward.”

DJ Akademiks Addresses Heated Conversation With Vic Mensa On ‘Everyday Struggle’ (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Monday’s episode of Everyday Struggle featured a special guest – Chicago rapper Vic Mensa.

At one point, Mensa called out co-host DJ Akademiks over what he saw as the YouTube personality’s negative coverage of the violence in Chicago.

“People exactly like you sensationalized and made a following off of clowning situations that we go through in real life,” the Roc Nation emcee told Akademiks. “I think n-ggas ain’t have no right. You specifically, you ain’t never have a right. Whatever made you feel like you had a space to have a perspective on our people dying on a daily basis?”

Following the interview with Mensa going viral, Akademiks spoke on the situation on Tuesday’s Everyday Struggle.

“I am never above an artist who may have a difference of opinion, on either what I’ve said or what I’ve said about them, to come up here and voice it. That’s the reason we have guests,” said Ak. “When Vic Mensa was here, I could have easily glanced over and went past that, but that was a point of discussion when I have discussed this a lot and know he’s been outspoken about it. So I wanted to know how he felt… He said what he had to say. I think that’s important.”

DJ Akademiks also clarified that he has never made fun of anyone that has died as a result of the street violence in Chicago.

He further addressed his views of Chicago and its citizens via his Instagram page:

I’ve Always loved and supported the ppl and rappers affected by violence in Chicago. I understand tho why everyone there might hate me. And that something I’ll take and wear. I’ve loved the music and culture there but always denounced the disgusting violence. Perhaps it wasn’t my place to speak on that but to be clear I never done anything but show sympathy for the victims of violence in Chicago while vehemently condemning the ppl who did the violence. Still I’m understanding of the ppl who may share a difference of opinion or who May see me as the agitator and I hope one day we can reconcile. I apologize to all artist and people from Chicago for giving light to drill music and it may be one the things I did wrong while coming up. I’ve realized a lot within the last few Days.

John Singleton Says ‘All Eyez On Me’ Filmmakers Stole The Movie Rights From Afeni Shakur

Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop News) Acclaimed director John Singleton was a recent guest on N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s Drink Champs podcast.

Most of the conversation consisted of the Boyz n the Hood creator reflecting on his film career.

But N.O.R.E. also asked him about All Eyez On Me, the Tupac Shakur biopic that Singleton was once set to direct before Benny Boom took over the reins.

One of the topics surrounding AEOM that was discussed on Drink Champs was the allegation that Singleton wanted his version of the script to include a scene where Pac got raped.

“There’s a whole lot of things that they would not have in the movie that actually happened,” said Singleton.

When questioned if Tupac really got sexually assaulted, Singleton replied, “There’s a whole lot of things that happened. There’s stuff [about] who actually was involved in his death and the lead up to his death.”

Another revelation from Singleton concerning AEOM involved Pac’s mother Afeni Shakur.

“They stole the rights from his mother,” declared the Academy Award nominated filmmaker. “They made the movie they wanted to make, and hopefully one day I’ll get a chance to tell that story.”

AllHipHop.com interviewed All Eyez On Me producer L.T. Hutton in 2014, and he was asked if Afeni Shakur was involved in the making of the movie.

“She has a huge role. She has approval of a lot of things, and she wants the best portrayal of her son possible,” stated Hutton at the time. “She doesn’t have a problem with any of the truth. She just wants to make sure that everything was told correctly.”

Afeni Shakur passed away in May 2016 which was a little over one year before All Eyez On Me was released on June 16, 2017.

2 Chainz Explains Why He Doesn’t Write Any Of His Rhymes

(AllHipHop News) Rapper 2 Chainz does not write his lyrics down when recording a song.

The “I’m Different” hitmaker prefers to come up with his lyrics off the top of his head and pair them up with a few select beats producers present to him.

“I don’t like writing down anything,” he tells RollingStone.com. “I feel like I could waste a good idea on just listening to a track. I don’t want to hear 15 beats. I don’t want to waste my studio time listening to beats. When I come, I want to work. Load them up. I’m going to come off the top.”

He continues, “And out of the three (beats chosen by a producer), I hope one of them is something I can keep or keep going off of. That’s what I’m banking on. For the last couple years, every song has been like that.”

The only songs that he switches up his process for are ones that he is featured on with another artist.

“I have to get them (beforehand) so I can know what the f**k I’m going to rap about,” he continues. “I think most artists I work with know that I’m cuckoo like that.”

Kat Graham Stunned At Jada Pinkett’s Criticism of “All Eyez On Me”

(AllHipHop News) Jada Pinkett Smith’s criticism of the new Tupac Shakur biopic left actress Kat Graham stunned, because she thought “The Matrix Reloaded” cstar was fully supportive of the film.

“All Eyez on Me,” starring Demetrius Shipp, Jr. and Kat Graham as Tupac and Jada, was savaged by the hip-hop community when it was released on Friday (June 16) – what would have been the rapper’s 46th birthday – but it was comments Pinkett Smith made on social media that really upset the leading lady.

In a series of tweets, Jada wrote: “Forgive me… my relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in ‘All Eyez On Me’ to stand as truth”, while praising Demetrius and Kat for “bringing so much heart and spirit to your roles”.

She also picked apart some of the inaccuracies in the film, suggesting director Benny Boom went too far with artistic license.

Graham admits she was taken aback by Jada’s remarks because she reached out to her to make sure she played her accurately on the big screen.

“When I first got the role, I reached out to (her) a year and a half ago…,” she told Eonline.com. “The point of reaching out to her, as well as the other producers on the film, was to insure the integrity of the story and the character. I even spoke to her last week and she had nothing but support.”

“I have a lot of love for her,” she adds. “I hope people just see the movie and make the choice for themselves.”

The biopic has received mixed reviews, but producer L.T. Hutton has defended the film, insisting he never intended to recreate Jada and Tupac’s relationship on screen, but wanted to depict it in the way he thought the rapper would have wanted.

Were Jay Z & Beyonce’s Blueprint Twins Born Prematurely?

By: ClassicOne Updated Category: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Even when we became privy to the timeline of the development of Jay Z & Beyonce’s twins, we weren’t quite informed as to how far along Beyonce was when she broke the net by posting not only the announcement, but also a photo of her baby bump.

Hov and Bey continue to shake up the net as alleged details about their twins seem to leak. Folks have even been criticizing Bey’s father, Matthew Knowles, for making an announcement on social media even before Jay and Bey did. As the Beyhive is certainly buzzing about the Carter’s new bundles of joy, sources claim that Beyonce did not carry the twins to full term.

According to TMZ, Bey-Z’s twins were born premature and are “under the lights” to normalize.

There has been speculation that the babies may be “under the lights” because they may have jaundice which is common among premature babies. Apparently the lights are designed to lower bilirubin in their blood to eliminate the jaundice. The good news is that if this is the case, the condition is oftentimes not life-threatening.

I can’t wait until we know the babies’ names!

Scarface Questions The Authenticity Of ‘All Eyez On Me’

By: ClassicOne Updated Category: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Welp, the mixed reviews on Tupac’s long-awaited biopic, ‘All Eyez On Me’ continue to pour in.

Regardless, it is still good to see that they came in at No. 3 at the box office!

Moving on, even the legends seem to be divided on the film. You have people like Snoop Dogg, The Game, and MC Hammer praising it, while Jada Pinkett-Smith, 50 Cent, Pac’s family and estate, and now Scarface have criticized it! Even Wack 100 has praised it [no comment].

It seems that Scarface is questioning the authenticity of the biopic. Scarface happened to be one of the guests at a Classic Hip Hop event in Chicago, and the legend gave his honest opinion when the biopic came up.

According to ‘Face, if Pac’s close friends such as Big Syke, Spice 1, Too $hort, Richie Rich, weren’t mentioned, then the film is not a real or accurate Tupac movie.

There was also a plot twist by Scarface at the event. He told the crowd that when he dies to not buy any of his albums that a record label puts out. From there he went on to say it’s time for everyone to stop “supporting” new Tupac projects because the money won’t be going to his family since both Tupac and his mother, Afeni Shakur, have passed away.

What are your thoughts on Scarface’s message and the film?

Change Of Heart: Azealia Banks Is Now Open To Collaborating With This Rapper!

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

(AllHipHop Rumors) Well we all know that unfortunately rapper Azealia Banks is a few sandwiches short of a picnic, and her elevator doesn’t go to the top floor, but we still try to let her live.

In a shocking twist of events, Banks has revealed that she would like to collaborate with Iggy Azalea.

This would be no big deal if Igggy wasn’t one of the people that Azealia has dogged out over the years.

Banks now seemingly has a change of heart and believes the strategy of pairing them together will yield a platinum release.

Well I doubt it, because controversial or not, both of their careers aren’t popping anymore. Banks flat out ruined her moment, and the Hip Hop community doesn’t believe Iggy is real Hip Hop. Igg has had some very successful singles, but I’m unsure if her pop fans would even support the collaboration.

Sure they have fans somewhere, but do they have enough to truly have a successful single right now?

Ok do you guys want to hear about another one of my bad ideas? I’m kind of scared to tweet it. What if ….Igloo was on Anna Winter? The headlines would be everything tho. The song would be a #1 all over Europe PLUS, we’d probably get a Grammy for it. Just because it’s us. And the media frenzy around it will drown out any and everything else happening in music this summer lol Come on iggy. U kno a collab between you & I would shut the entire scene down. It would be quiet for the girls this summer lol. @IGGYAZALEA. Right ! It’s genius marketing,” tweeted Banks.

Iggy has enough problems with her declining career, so in my opinion, I think she’ll stay far away from bat sh-t crazy Banks! Even if some of the things Azealia once said about Iggy had any merit, I still wonder if she was jealous of Iggy’s success!

Would you be here for the collab?

Remind me y’all; does Iggy still have a big fan base somewhere. Is it just the Hip Hop community and the U.S. that’s mean to her? LOL.

(AllHipHop Rumors) The Family Hustle just might keep on hustling together.

T.I. and Tiny were spotted looking happy together while leaving an Atlanta venue over the weekend. This led many to speculate about whether or not they have gotten back together.

I honestly can’t imagine them really going through with the divorce. With the relationship lasting long, and with all of the kids, it just seems like they are supposed to be together. T.I. did state that all-in-all, Tiny will always be one of his best friends.

If Tip still feels like his marriage is a distraction, they just may have to part ways. I don’t think they will ever truly be over each other. It looks like they’ll just numb out to the fact that they’ll be seeing other people.

What are your thoughts? Do you think they will really go through with the divorce? What if they just needed a good storyline to wrap their TV show with? Hmmmmmmm.

Rapper Ice Cube Could Derail August 26 Fight Between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor

(AllHipHop News) Ice Cube has offered to move his BIG3 basketball league championship game for Floyd Mayweather Jr.s boxing comeback – if the price is right.

Floyd plans to face off against UFC tough guy Conor McGregor at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on August 26 – the same night as the BIG3 final.

The rapper and actor, who runs the basketball league, has revealed he’s in talks with boxing bosses and they’re close to a deal that will prompt him to move his sports showdown.

Appearing on U.S. sports talk show “Undisputed” on Monday (June 19), the “It Was a Good Day” hitmaker said he will move his big game “if they (promoters) do what they’re supposed to do and make us happy”, adding, “I think we can get there.”

Ice Cube added sports mogul to his impressive resume after quietly making plans to launch a U.S. summer basketball league earlier this year.

The former N.W.A. star, who is a fervent Los Angeles Lakers fan, teamed up with a few former NBA players to start up the traveling league.

The eight-team league features a handful of retired players, with basketball great Gary Payton among the coaches.

Cube’s business partner Jeff Kwatinetz, who is the deputy executive director of the NBA Players Association, is also part of the brain trust behind the new initiative.

“A lot of these guys can still play once they retire – just not the back-to-backs or four games in five nights,” the rapper says. “I started to look at three-on-three basketball and wondered, ‘Why isn’t this played on a pro level?'”
