Diddy Is Forbes’ “Cash King” For the 7th Time in A Row

(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has topped Forbes’ list of the five richest rappers in the world for a seventh year in a row.

The 47-year-old is worth an estimated $820 million thanks to his investments and lucrative deals with Diageo’s Ciroc, TV network Revolt, alkaline water brand Aquahydrate, and tequila firm DeLeon.

Jay Z follows closely behind with an estimated net worth of $810 million, thanks in part to his ownership of streaming service Tidal, Roc Nation entertainment company, and Armand de Brignac champagne.

Drake is fifth with $90 million.

50 Cent Laughs Off Burglary Attempt

(AllHipHop News) Rapper 50 Cent has joked about the trouble he is having selling off his Connecticut mansion after the property was targeted in a break-in.

Police arrested a Elwin Joyce on the grounds of the 52-room Farmington estate on Tuesday (May 9) and charged him with counts of second degree burglary, trespassing, criminal mischief and attempted larceny.

50 Cent was not at the sprawling pad at the time and nothing appeared to have been taken in the incident.

The “In Da Club” hitmaker has since taken the news in his stride and has laughed off the security breach in a post on Instagram.

He shared a report of the break-in on his social media page and cheekily captioned it: “What my house got robbed, I thought I sold that MF (motherf##ker).”

50, real name Curtis Jackson, purchased the home for $4.1 million from boxer Mike Tyson in 2003.

He initially placed it on the market in 2007 for $18.5 million after spending $10 million on renovations, and then tried to find a buyer again in 2015 following his bankruptcy filing.

The rapper, 41, was said to have offloaded the one-time party palace in March, 2016 for $8.5 million to a buyer who planned to turn it into an assisted living facility, but his representative clarified the claims, admitting that although there had been interest, no contracts had been signed and the property remained on sale.

The rap star and entrepreneur was discharged from his bankruptcy case earlier this year after paying back more than $22 million.

Mary J. Blige Can’t Trust Anyone With Her Career After Chicken Ad

(AllHipHop News) Mary J. Blige has learnt not to trust anyone else with her career after receiving public backlash over past decisions.

The singer is back to her best with 13th studio album Strength of a Woman, which she released last month, and with a fresh start has come a new perspective on her fame.

Discussing how she overcame various professional problems over the years, such as her 2012 Burger King advert being deemed racist, she told the Los Angeles Times:

“You know, it all boils down to me taking responsibility for my own career and not trusting people with it. Or making decisions for me. I didn’t know the Burger King commercial was going to turn into, ‘She’s singing about chicken.’

“I’d never seen so much hatred come from a career mistake. Then right after that it was the Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now (FFAWN) fraud and all the (stuff) that went down with that. It had nothing to do with me, but my name is on everything. Taxes, this and that. It was one thing after the next. It was all so negative.”

Mary’s charity, which she set up with businessman Steve Stoute, was hit with several lawsuits in 2012 and accused of various offenses such as withholding loan repayments.

While it was a difficult period for the “Family Affair” singer she saw it as a “wake-up call” to look after herself more, especially as her marriage to her manager Martin ‘Kendu’ Isaacs was also in a bad way.

Mary filed for divorce in July 2016. Her estranged husband is demanding Mary J. Blige’s estranged husband is demanding $130,000 in monthly spousal support.

“Everybody was scattering, including (my husband/manager), and left me by myself,” she recalled of the events that took place five years ago. “That let me know, ‘OK, I’ve got to really learn how to take care of Mary.’”

Guess Which Record Label Is Relaunching?!

(AllHipHop Rumors) It’s Murderrrrrrr!

Irv Gotti seems to always have something up his sleeve, and now he wants you to know that he’s relaunching Murder Inc!

Irv took to Instagram to share the news as he referred to his label as the world’s most talented record label. According to Irv he has a gang of new artists, and the movement will be the same as it was when it ruled the early 2000s.

“Oh and by the way!! I’m about to RE LAUNCH MURDER INC RECORDS!! I got some new artist. New music. Same f-cking MOVEMENT! The Worlds Most Talented Record Label. Everyone had a lot of fun. While I had to re group from the Feds coming after me. Had to plot and plan and fall back while I watched everyone else eat. I watched gracefully. I applauded and congratulated everyone who deserved it. Never one bone of hate in my body. I love to see my n-ggas win and eat. BUT ITS MY TURN NOW!! My Money is right. And I’m back!! Major Announcements Coming Soon. Who Murder Inc will be partnered with. And what Artist I am f-cking with!! #murderinc #murda4life #visionaryideas Follow @visionaryideas,” posted Irv.

While we appreciate his passion, experience, and expertise, I’m not too sure he can make the same waves in music as the Inc. did back in the day. It will be interesting to see who Murder Inc will be partnering with though. I can’t wait to hear what 50 Cent has to say. What are your thoughts?

The D.O.C. Re-ignites Eazy-E’s Devil Worshipping Rumors!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Say it aint so!

Over the years there has been much talk about Eazy-E allegedly being a devil worshipper.

According to Industry On Blast, in a new forthcoming documentary, The D.O.C. says that Eazy-E was indeed a devil worshipper.

Industry On Blast took to Instagram to share what they claim are The D.O.C.’s exact words.

“WOW❗❗ Legendary #NWA member #TheDOC is now alleging that #EazyE was a devil worshipper! ? that illuminati ish!!! Here are his words! : “When I first got to California, back in f-ckin’ ’88, maybe ’87, I was sitting in the studio and playing at this little piano that was in this studio called Audio Achievements – where we did all the early N.W.A., Eazy-E sh-t. I was playing at this little piano and Eazy asked me if I wanted to go to this meeting. And to make a long story short, Eazy was [implying] that he was into this devil worshipping sh-t. … Now, I’m a young kid from Texas. I don’t know sh-t about gang banging, ‘cause the sh-t hadn’t happened in Dallas at that time. I don’t know sh-t about the streets really. And I damn sure don’t know sh-t about no muthaf-ckin’ devil worshipping. So, you can just imagine, I sat there at that piano kinda frozen. I acted like I didn’t even hear the sh-t that he was saying. He was talking about he wanted me to go to some meeting, and man, I played like I didn’t hear nothing that muthaf-cka said and kept doing what the f-ck I was doing. … But, just that in itself can show you the kind of mind f-ckery that was going on throughout those years, when I was just there trying to be creative. I found out later that it was just game [from Eazy-E]. It was game gone too far. Because I was so far ahead of these !!!!!s, that the only way that they could keep me under thumb was to run super game on me. So now I don’t know, do I need to ask somebody about my money or is the devil gon’ come get me? I don’t know. I’m 18, I don’t know what the f-ck to do. I just know I wanted to be the best muthaf-ckin’ rapper, and I seemed to be heading in that direction.”? Thoughts?” posted IOB.

What’s crazy is that Instagram personality Artemus Gordon has even decided to chime in and cosign the claims. Most folks don’t know who Artemus really is, but he is said to be a west coast OG that was around for a lot of shhhh that went down. At times different folks and celebrities come in his comments cosigning his claims though. He took to Instagram with a post of his own on the situation saying,

“I posted on this subject 5 years ago and now the D.O.C. backs what I witnessed with his own claims. You believe me now? Before his death, Eazy became a real deal devil worshipper as in evidence by the pentagon tattooed on his hand between his index finger and thumb. This is why he wore those gloves. In my opinion, I think he felt it added to his sinister image. He was trying to craft. Money, fame, and too much time on their hands can take a good dude (Eazy) and change him into something else. His forays into the occult/devil worship is why Bone Thugs started out with all that Ouija board stuff,” said Artemus.

Hmmmmmmm what are your thoughts?

Snoop Dogg Is Planning To Launch His Own Music Festival

 

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Snoop Dogg is interested in holding a festival in his father’s hometown of Mississippi.

The hip-hop star stopped in Magnolia, Mississippi over the weekend to meet with the city’s mayor Anthony Witherspoon and to hold a discussion about the feasibility of a hosting a new music festival, tentatively titled Snoop Fest.

“We always stop in New Orleans but we never book a show here (in Mississippi). We might as well do it ourselves because my booking agent just won’t do it,” he said, according to The Associated Press.

He explained that he visits Mississippi three or four times a year to visit family and he didn’t just want to put on a simple concert for locals, as he believes they deserve more.

“I want to do something so that everyone will get to see me,” he shared. “If I wanted to do a show and leave, I could’ve done that. I wanted to do something to make a mark here. I just wanted to make an impact on the people here because I know how much I mean to them.”

The 45-year-old plans to have blues, gospel and country acts on the first day and hip-hop and R&B on the second day, when he would close the festival.

“I think the first should have what the heritage of Mississippi is about and then the second day should be about the generation that took it to another level,” he continued.

He also hopes Mississippi natives such as Brandy Norwood and her singer brother Ray J, as well as rapper Soulja Boy, would come back to perform.

Witherspoon told the outlet they wanted to get the festival “done this year” but if that isn’t possible, they will “definitely” do it in 2018.

PREMIER: Rapper Shah Releases New Video, “Just Text”

(AllHipHop Music) Shah’s style was born in the streets of Toronto, matured in the studios of New York and LA, and enriched in the clubs of Atlanta. 

The finished sound is a mosaic of Caribbean rhythms, Southern soul, and golden age storytelling. Combining savvy lyricism with eye-opening social commentary unleashing stories of his inner struggles, Shah’s music enlightens, empowers and entertains.

Shah’s songs have resonated internationally, helping to cultivate his fan base from South Asia to South America. Each installment of his critically acclaimed audiovisual series has racked up hundreds of thousands views on YouTube. His most recent video, Pay Day 71, called out the gender wage gap while becoming a mainstay in Atlanta’s strip club circuit, known for breaking artists such as Future and Migos.

Shah continues to demonstrate his ability to create club bangers without compromising lyricism or storytelling. His new single, Just Text is currently in rotation at the influential Atlanta club Magic City. Shah wrote his new song Just Text while detained by the Department of Homeland Security after he was denied entry into America. Homeland Security gave Shah no reason for their actions and informed the Toronto native that if he was detained again while attempting to enter the US, he would be banned from the country for 3 to 10 years. “Just text” was the response Shah kept sending to phone calls he was receiving while texting his attorney in the detainment cell where phones were not permitted.

His attorney successfully guided Shah’s return to America and has completed his O visa application (for artists who exhibit extraordinary talent) but this process could take up to one year under the newly elected Trump administration. Until then, he is unable to travel home, effectively being trapped in America.

Shah has not allowed this to slow him down, saying, “I’ve always looked to turn obstacles into opportunities. Once I knew I couldn’t return to Toronto, I started building in Atlanta, where the DJs took me in like family and helped bring the music to new heights.”

Fabolous Gets Caught Slipping With Infamous Groupie!

(AllHipHop Rumors) I swear this Celina girl is almost worse than Superhead and Kat Stacks man.

Well it appears that Fabolous may have gotten caught up with the infamous groupie/thot, Celina Powell (@XOCelina187). She makes it known that her sole mission in life is to be a low life and to take down rappers.

She’s been linked to Chief Keef, YG, Waka Flocka, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and countless others, and now she’s trying to take down Fab!

She’s a known liar and stunt Queen also, so no one knows what to believe with her.

A video has surfaced with her asking Fab can she suck his d-ck, to which Fab replies by asking her if she’s good at it.

The video and conversation seem a bit choppy, so it could be fake as heck, but you know she’s always looking for a rap victim.

Fab has been said to be a wild one on the low, so either Emily B. and Fab have truly broken up this time, or they at least have some kind of agreement in place because this is just reckless dawg. LOL.

I think they broke up though because they haven’t really been spotted together in two months, and she erased his photos off of her page.

Man out of all the IG thotties out there! I sure hope Fab wasn’t really talking to this girl!

Nas & Nicki Minaj Are A Couple, According To The Internets

(AllHipHop Rumors) Well Nas is certainly an upgrade from Meek Mill!

As you know in the Hip Hop and celebrity world, if you are spotted with anyone, that automatically means you are dating them!

Nas and Nicki Minaj were caught looking pretty cozy, and Nicki posted the photo to her Instagram page.

Now folks are speculating that the two might be dating!

Both of the Queens rappers were rocking matching chains, and that’s a little too matchy-matchy and close for some folks who are just friends right?

Nicki is probably still trying to send some kind of subliminal shot at Remy Ma still, and Nas swears he wasn’t the one who pulled “ShETHER”. Mmmmmmmm hmmmmmm Nas. Sure you weren’t. LOL.

To be honest though, rumors have been swirling about Nas and Nicki allegedly dating for months. Are you here for it?

He continued, “Bro, you don’t understand. I made millions of dollars last year, and I was so unhappy. And that just goes to show that money does not make you happy. Success doesn’t make you happy.”

And I knew it was the right tones that I was looking for,” he told AllHipHop’s D-Nellz. “You know, Rae is family and Prodigy put that work in. We all from the same era. Its a good look. And it was needed at the same time.”

Chance the Rapper Has A Message For Female Fans After His Aunts Death

Chance the Rapper

(AllHipHop News) Chance the Rapper is urging female fans to educate themselves about the different types of breast cancer after losing his aunt to an aggressive form of the disease.

The “No Problem” hitmaker took to social media on Tuesday (May 9) to share his heartache, two days after Kimberly Bennett’s passing.

“My Auntie Kim lost her battle with Breast Cancer early Sunday morning,” he wrote, alongside a video clip of his relative discussing her health battle for the Inflammatory Breast Cancer Foundation.

“She was a warrior and wanted me to share this,” he continued. “Inflammatory Breast Cancer is commonly misdiagnosed and doesn’t come with the same symptoms (as other forms of breast cancer).”

In the YouTube clip, filmed in February, Kim explained that unlike other types of breast cancer, she did not find a lump, and was instead diagnosed after noticing one of her breasts had changed in skin color.

She soon learned the disease had progressed to stage four cancer, and she fought for a year before succumbing to the illness.
