Rumor has it that Jay Z and Beyonce have reportedly purchased the former location of Cat and Fiddle on Sunset Blvd as they are planning to re-develop the location and open up their own unique restaurant!

I don’t know about you but my second love is FOOD! There’s been no word on the menu, cuisine, or theme yet, but I hope it’s soul food!

The good news is that we are sure Bey-Z can keep this restaurant open, despite the fact that many celebrity restaurants have failed. Lawd I hope the restaurant won’t be vegan!

Snoop Dogg Shoots Donald Trump In The Head – In New Video

(AllHipHop News) Snoop Dogg has literally taken aim at Donald Trump in his new music video.

The rapper points a gun at a clown-styled President Trump in the promo for “Lavender,” his remix of BadBadNotGood and Kaytranada’s#### track.

Snoop is transported to a universe populated by clowns in the video and actor/comedian Michael Rapaport portrays a police violence victim, who is shot by a cop as a bystander films the incident and then uploads it to ClownTube.

Snoop Dogg, who took part in a rally to bring cops and the Los Angeles black community together last year, attacks police brutality on the track, rapping,

“Trying to keep from dying in these muthaf**kin’ streets/F**k the police, from a black man’s point of view.”

Directors Jesse Wellens and James DeFina have revealed the video concept was inspired in part by the fatal police shooting of Philando Castile in July.

Talking about his provocative new video and the clown Trump character, Snoop tells Billboard:

“The (Muslim) ban that this motherf##ker (Trump) tried to put up; him winning the presidency; police being able to kill motherf##kers and get away with it; people being in jail for weed for 20, 30 years and motherf**kers that’s not black on the streets making money off of it – but if you got colour or ethnicity connected to your name, you’ve been wrongfully accused or locked up for it, and then you watching people not of colour position themselves to get millions and billions off of it…

“It’s a lot of clown s##t going on that we could just sit and talk on the phone all day about, but it’s a few issues that we really wanted to lock into, like police, the president and just life in general.”

Man Arrested For Killing Toya Wright’s Brothers After He Bragged About Murders

(AllHipHop News) Police in Louisiana have arrested a man in connection to the murders of Lil Wayne’s former brother-in-laws last summer.

The rapper’s ex-wife, Toya Wright, was left devastated in July when authorities found the bodies of her siblings Rudy and Josh Johnson in a car.

They died after each sustaining multiple gunshot wounds, and authorities launched an investigation into their apparent murders.

On Thursday (March 9), officers arrested main suspect Antoine Edwards aka “Tweezy”and charged him with second degree murder.

According to NOLA.com, cops received a tip-off about Edwards after he allegedly bragged about the shooting.

The news came as a relief to Wright, who had waited months for an update in the case.

“All we want is justice for my brothers,” she told TMZ.com after details of the arrest emerged. “We thank everyone for their prayers and support.”

At the time of the double tragedy, Toya, who shares 18-year-old daughter Reginae with Wayne, took to Instagram to pay tribute to her siblings.

Alongside a photo of her brothers, the reality TV star wrote, “Help me Lord I will never understand this. #stoptheviolence #ineverfeltpainlikethisbefore #riptomybrothers #icantbelievethis #prayformyfamily (sic).”

Nicki Minaj’s Brother Allegedly Threatened Rape Case Victim With A### Rape

(AllHipHop Rumors) Things are only getting worse for Nicki Minaj’s older brother Jelani Maraj!

News has now hit that Maraj’s 12-year old rape victim was allegedly threatened with a### rape if she wouldn’t comply. Don’t tell Remy Ma. Remy already went in on both Nicki and her alleged pedophile brother.

Maraj, who is currently on trial for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl, has maintained his innocence, despite the fact that his semen was found on the victim’s pajama pants.

According to Bossip, Nassau Assistant District Attorney Emma Slane stated that the 12-year-old told prosecutors that when she didn’t go along with what Jelani Maraj wanted, he would resort to rape threats and physical violence.

“He would make several threats to her. If she resisted in any way, he would threaten to engage in a### intercourse with her, which she said would hurt her,” said Slane.

Apparently the victim’s younger sibling had walked in on the abuse before also where he warned the sibling not to tell anyone before slapping the kid in the face.

“These children were in fear of him,” said Slane.

The fact that the defense is trying to argue that his semen could’ve gotten on her pants just because they live in the same house, and the fact that he’s trying to argue that she was sexually active anyway makes me say that dude is sick and GUILTY!

Nicki come get your brother man.

New Couple Alert: Are Drake & Nicki Minaj An Item?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Is Nicki Minaj on the way to being Mrs. Aubrey Graham? Are Drake & Nicki secretly a couple?!

They say you have to speak things into existence! With this said, Drake has had his eye on Nicki Minaj for a while. Perhaps Nicki has curved her label mate over the years because he was just too close to home, and because of their business relationship. Maybe she viewed him as a brother and that only, or felt that it was safer to friend zone the 6 God.

Well anyway, back in 2010 Drake tweeted,

“Please refer to @nickiminaj as Mrs. Aubrey Drake Graham and don’t stare at her too long. She’s finally mine. :)”

Rumor has it that the two may actually be dating, but because they are very calculated people, they are delaying the announcement.

It looks like Drizzy and Nicki want to be the next Jay Z and Beyonce. Meek Mill was never truly that guy, and most still don’t know how he got in the picture with her. Regardless of whether Lil Wayne and other’s really hit it or not, it never made Drake lose any love for the Barb.

The two also posed for a nice picture as Drake brought out Nick to perform her new Remy Ma diss, “No Frauds” in Paris. What are your thoughts? Do you think Nicki & Drake are an item now? Just hooking up? Or nothing to see here?

Rumor Control: YG Actually Didn’t Break $60k Contract By Performing “FDT”

(AllHipHop Rumors) Well it looks like YG actually did receive ALL of his coins!

Last week there were reports that YG had allegedly breached his $60k contract with San Diego State University, after the rapper performed his anti-Trump anthem, “F-ck Donald Trump.”

Well a San Diego State University rep. has now spoken out to clear YG and the air on the situation.

YG actually reportedly received payment for the full contracted amount because the university never banned “F-ck Donald Trump” contractually. The spokesperson told SPIN,

“During booking discussions with Live Nation, the student Greenfest committee that selected the artist and planned the GreenFest concert requested that YG not perform his song, “FDT”. The student Greenfest Committee was advised that an artist can be asked, but that there is a possibility that the artist will still play the song. On the night of the concert, YG indicated that he wanted to play the song “FDT” even though he had been asked not to by associated students. As indicated that payment would not be withheld if he played the song. YG was paid his full $60,000 fee for performing at Greenfest.”

Apparently it was the students and their tweets that started the rumor that YG had broken his contract in the first place. Well it looks like YG took home the bag after all, but some people are still claiming that he lost out on an amount or the whole check. Carry on.

Tupac Documentary Claims To Have An Unreleased “Confession”

(AllHipHop News) A new documentary claims to have evidence that could blow the lid off of the unsolved murder of hip-hop star Tupac Shakur.

Tupac was gunned down on September 7, 1996 on the Las Vegas strip.

Pac died on September 13, days after suffering multiple gunshot wounds sustained in a drive-by shooting.

Director RJ Bond, who has shot the documentary “Tupac: Assassination,” is planning a new documentary titled “Tupac Assassination: Battle for Compton.”

In his latest documentary, RJ Bond claims to have found a source who created an explosive “Confession Letter,” just after the shooting.

The unnamed source gave the letter to Fox TV news reporter Chris Blatchford, in 1998.

However Blatchford – and others who have seen the letter – claim that they have distanced themselves from it, due to its explosive allegations.

RJ Bond, who is a Los Angeles resident, has reported and documented Tupac’s murder extensively.

He obtain a copy of the letter for his documentary.

The “Confession Letter” alleges that there were at least three individuals in the vehicle used to commit the “drive by” shooting of Shakur at the intersection of Flamingo and Koval Streets in Las Vegas.

“One or two of these individuals dictated the letter to a friend’s sister and the letter was given to Blatchford when one of the individuals who had agreed to an on-camera interview with FOX had a change of heart and did not appear for the interview,” according to a rep for RJ Bond.

Bond maintains that Marion “Suge” Knight was the intended target, however that is just one of many theories behind the unsolved murders of Pac and Biggie.

Representatives for RJ Bond claims the letter is valid, and was written by an incarcerated was delivered to Blatchford by a source who stands by his letter nonetheless.

“The Shakur and Wallace murders have become even more difficult to solve in recent years; Russell Poole and eyewitnesses/Shakur bodyguards Frank Alexander and Michael Moore all died within a one year period (the other eyewitness Yafeu Fula was shot “mob style” just weeks after the Shakur incident) so it is virtually impossible for anyone to confront their accusers at this point,” reads a press release for the project.

“But the case can still be closed without prosecution specifically because of that condition. Yet they remain open.”

“Tupac Assassination: Battle for Compton” is available on all streaming and all of the streaming on demand platforms now.

I’m very excited about that opportunity. I’m really just setting myself up for business and things off the field, it’s something I’m into as well.”

A new trailer for the “All Eyez On Me” was also recently released.

The latest teaser focuses on Tupac’s mother Afeni Shakur, and her early days raising Tupac.

“We’re going deep. We’re going to what made the man, what fueled the man, what was his passion, what burned inside of him to make him go in the studio like that. He was on a timeframe,” L.T Hutton told AllHipHop.com. “One thing I noticed about Pac is that he was on a clock. We want the audience to feel that drive and passion, because that’s what separated him from the pack – his passion, his aggression, his knowledge, his strength.”
