Joe Budden Calls Drake A “F-ck N-gga” and Explains Why He Stopped Dissing Him (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Joe Budden repeatedly claimed on his podcast and during an interview with Ebro In The Morning that he was tired of talking about Drake.

However, Budden recently continued to bash the OVO leader in a video published by My Mixtapez. The description for the clip – titled “The Podcast He Didn’t Want YOU To See!” –  claims the footage was from a deleted Periscope broadcast from August 9.

During a conversation about his feud with Drake, the YMCMB representative’s back-and-forth with Hot 97 and the “Lord Knows” creator’s music content, Budden went on a mini-rant.

The Slaughterhouse member said:

Your emotions, that’s what’s causing this. That is what is stirring all of this sh-t. That led my brain to a very interesting conundrum here. That totally just stems from insecurity. Y’all can call me nuts. It’s okay. I’ve been called nuts before. He’s very insecure. This is where I get confused. If I’m Drake, I’ve built my entire empire off said insecurity. Agree or disagree? So why would I want to get rid of it? I wouldn’t. That’s exactly why I stopped dissing him. It was pointless… Y’all just take a lot of f-ck sh-t from that f-ck n-gga!

The “I’ll Name This Podcast Later” uploaded last week did include Budden admitting the released show was re-recorded several times.

 

Nicki Minaj and Meek Shacking Up…In A Mansion In Beverly Hills

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Rumors

Nicki Minaj and her partner Meek Mill have finally moved into a Los Angeles mansion together.

The couple reportedly began looking for a mansion to buy in California in late 2015 but their plans hit a snag when Meek was found guilty of violating his probation in December and sentenced to house arrest, which he completed in June, in his hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Despite all the obstacles, Nicki and Meek, real name Robert Rihmeek Williams, have finally moved into a nine-bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills together, but have chosen to rent instead of buy.

The property also boasts eight bathrooms, a swimming pool, sprawling gardens, gated driveway and a five-car garage and costs $30,000 a month.

According to reports, only Nicki’s name is on the lease paperwork due to Meek’s house arrest, which banned him from working.

Milwaukee Officer Who Killed Suspect Is A Rapper and Now People Want Him Dead

By: G.Avant (@G_Avant)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) In a rather interesting plot twist, the Milwaukee police officer responsible for shooting and killing a fleeing suspect is also a rapper by the name of KB Domo.

The police officer, whose real name is Dominique Heaggan-Brown, 24, is an aspiring rapper who has a track freestyling over Meek Mill’s “Monster,” where he spits rhymes such as “Imma start a riot like its Baltimore.”

Just two months prior to the video’s June 2015 release, Baltimore was plagued by racially tinged riots that were sparked by the questionable death of Freddie Gray while in police custody.

Ironically, Brown murdered a suspect named Sylville Smith by shooting him in the chest and arm. Smith was found to be in possession of a handgun.

Unrest in the city stemming from the incident has led to several buildings being burned and multiple white people being randomly attacked by outraged citizens.

Dae Flywalker of the Milwaukee blog Breaking and Entering claims to have known Brown since grade school and can’t believe the predicament he is in.

“I was in shock and disbelief just like everyone else that knew him or grew up with him,” chimed Flywalker.

As if Brown wasn’t enshrouded in enough controversy already, he has also been the target of several death threats through social media according to the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel.

One post angrily demanded, “Now y’all see his face if he’s seen anywhere in the city drop him,” while another one read “shoot him right in his head.”

Check out the officer and aspiring rapper’s “Monster” freestyle below.

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) International reggae star Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley was announced as one of the artist-owners for the Tidal streaming service last October.

The son of the iconic Bob Marley has now teamed with the Tidal platform to premiere the visuals for his single “Nail Pon Cross” which appears on the forthcoming  Stony Hill album.

The video depicts Jr. Gong and others crucified on utility poles.

“It’s just kinda holding up a mirror to society and saying, ‘Hey, look how judgmental we can be,” states Marley. “When I wrote this song, I wasn’t thinking about police or politics. I was just thinking about basic everyday life. How we judge each other. How we judge our friends. How we judge everything. So that’s really what this song is about.”

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

Well it looks like The Game may have been lying when he boasted about sleeping with 3 of the Kardahsians on his track, “Sauce.” He would be off about at least 2.

According to TMZ, sources close to the Kardashians say that you can count out Kylie, Kendall, Khloe, Kourtney, and Kris. Supposedly none of them had sex with The Game.

The sources do acknowledge that Kim dated Game back in the day, but that’s about it. They are also saying Game’s relationship with Khloe has been strictly platonic.

Perhaps Game was on his Kanye West shhh: creatively reckless! Apparently The Game also reached out to Kanye to get his blessing on the track to which Kanye granted it.

Knowing that crazy family, The Game probably hit the OG Kardashian, Kris Jenner.

Party Next Door Says Rihanna’s Label Didn’t Like “Work” or Caribbean Music

By: G.Avant (@G_Avant)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Toronto crooner Party Next Door has been on a meteoric rise to fame lately, with hit tracks such as “Come and See Me,” featuring OVO label mate and founder Drake from his new album PartyNextDoor 3.

Party also currently boasts heavyweight writing credits for Rihanna’s#### track “Work” and more.

According to the New York Times, the rising soul star’s relationship with Rihanna started at a writing camp at the songstress’s Malibu home last year.

This would be leasier to PND receiving writing credits on Rihanna’s infectious chart topping hit “Work,” a song which her label wasn’t too fond of initially.

“Her label didn’t care for Caribbean music at the time,” PartyNextDoor explained.

He and Drake considered keeping the track, or giving it to Alicia Keys, but Rihanna’s team came around “when it was all that she could sing around the house.”

“She fought for it. She said, ‘This is my family’s favorite song.’”

The artist has also done plenty of work on Drake’s Views, which ran the top of the Billboard charts for 12 weeks.

Despite all of the ghostwriting controversy and conflict currently surrounding Drake, the rising star claims that their relationship is mutually beneficial.

“It’s just creatives cooking,” PND said. “If he sees something in a song of mine that he feels he can spin around and make better, who am I to say I’m going to selfishly keep it? As a fan of music, that’s wrong.”

The song, which was released by Str8Buttah Productions, features production by Teck-Zilla and takes a vintage look at life (be it general or personal) through sepia tone, laid back soundscapes.

“I approached the beats like a movie script,” Teck-Zilla explained to AllHipHop.com. “The scene, events and how everything flowed into one another. I basically drafted it like a mini proposal to Allen Poe having drawn inspiration from his How Gardens Grow project. He plays the lead character while the features lend their services each bringing a different feel to the EP ”

Is Tiny Filing For Divorce From T.I. Any Day Now?

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

Apparently there is still trouble in paradise for one of our favorite couples, T.I. and Tiny.

Tiny is allegedly enjoying the single life under the roof of her own home. According to SandraRose, Tiny moved into a $1.4 million home in the affluent Eagles Landing subdivision in Henry County (right outside of Atlanta).

Supposedly Tiny purchased the home back in 2014 when Tip allegedly cheated on her with one of those Instagram models. With the recent rumors that T.I. cheated on Tiny again with an escort and former Taz angel, Tiny has allegedly decided to call it quits.

Apparently, Tiny and T.I. are sharing custody of their children King, Major, and Heiress, and Tiny will allegedly be filing for divorce any day now. This has to be awkward because the two had such a nicely blended family with T.I. treating Tiny’s oldest daughter Zonnique like his own, and with Tiny doing the same for Tip’s kids Deyjah, Domami, and Messiah.

This situation is unfortunate as the two also welcomed home their daughter Heiress 5 months ago.

Hopefully the Harris family will work it out.
