Drake’s House Reportedly Burglarized By A Woman

(AllHipHop News) A day after Drake accused a California country club of racial profiling, news arrives that the “Free Smoke” performer had some trouble in his actual home.

TMZ reports:

Law enforcement sources tell us … a member of Drake’s crew walked into the house at 10:30 PM on April 3 and found a 24-year-old woman in one of the bedrooms, wearing one of Drake’s hoodies.

The cops were called, and the woman told them she had permission to enter, which she did not. She then confessed to pilfering Pepsi, Sprite and Fiji water. Drake wasn’t home at the time.

According to the entertainment website, the burglar allegedly took about $10 worth of water and soda, but she was still charged with felony burglary.

R&B star Chris Brown has experienced a similar situation more than once.

One of his female fans was arrested for trespassing on his property last year, and he found a woman naked in his bed in 2015.

Is Kendrick Lamar The Greatest Rapper Of All Time?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Issa reach?!

Is Kendrick Lamar the greatest rapper of all time??? Peter Rosenberg seems to think so.

Now…. is Kendrick Lamar one of the greatest rappers alive? Absolutely. As his career continues to progress and evolve will he be easily considered to be one of the greatest rappers to ever do it? Possibly.

Many still wouldn’t call him the greatest rapper of all time though. Rosenberg listened to K. Dot’s ‘Damn’ album and was completely left in awe. So much so that he can’t think of a better rapper that has come along before Kendrick.

Rosenberg says that he’d already prepared himself for disappointment since he felt that K. Dot’s previous projects would be hard to beat out, but he ended up being extremely impressed.

“Yes I said it … Kendrick is the best rapper of all time,” tweeted Rosenberg.

He went on to say,

“There is not a person who can rap, on planet earth, better than Kendrick Lamar. Eminem can rap as well. Nas can rap as well. Big Pun is right around there as well. But I don’t believe that anybody can rap better than Kendrick Lamar.”

K. Dot is nasty, nice, and ill with it, but I don’t know about giving him the G.O.A.T title. One being great, doesn’t necessarily make them the best. What are your thoughts?

Troy Ave Affiliate Takes Shots At Mysonne & Casanova

(AllHipHop Rumors) Can’t we all just get along!

Well, at least Troy Ave’s friends are going hard for him as the New York rapper is still getting clowned for his Tupac comparisons and alleged fake persona.

B$B member Avon Blocksdale has definitely come to defend Ave amid the ‘NuPac’ backlash.

“NuPac” has already experienced a bit of misfortune with being shot on multiple occasions. It certainly doesn’t help that people take his rap career as a joke also.

Blocksdale recently took to Instagram to not only support Troy’s forthcoming release, but he also took a minute to fire off some direct shots at some of Ave’s enemies.

Casanova had already publicly ripped Troy Ave apart for his forthcoming ‘NuPac’ project and for calling himself the second coming of Tupac, so it’s to no one’s surprise that someone in the camp was rubbed the wrong way about it.

Avon basically said that it’s going to be some problems after ‘NuPac’ is released.

“Mysonne p-ssy, assonva dead p-ssy Hovian dead p-ssy Lito p-ssy!!! #Nupac #Blocko B$B.. Stand next to my enemy you are my enemy.”

We really don’t need any more violence in these streetz, so let’s just hope that this stays on the tracks and on social media. How are you feeling about Troy Ave’s “I Ain’t Mad Atcha” single and these beefs?

Queen Latifah Takes Cher Spot In A New Movie About Flint, Michigan

(AllHipHop News) Queen Latifah has signed on to star in and executive produce a new TV movie about the Flint water crisis in Michigan.

Singer/actress Cher was originally attached to the project, but she dropped out last month due to a family matter.

The Lifetime network TV movie will now star Latifah, Betsy Brandt, singer/actress Jill Scott, and Marin Ireland.

Brandt, Scott, and Ireland will appear as real-life activists and residents, while Latifah will play a fellow local, according to Deadline.com.

The Flint pollution disaster left thousands of people exposed to lead-contaminated water after local authorities decided to switch the city’s water supply from one river to another back in 2014.

The Chicago star will executive produce the film alongside Craig Zadan, Neil Meron and U.S. newswoman Katie Couric.

It will be directed by Bruce Beresford and is inspired by Time magazine cover story “The Toxic Tap” by Josh Sanburn. Barbara Stepansky wrote the script.

The TV movie goes into production next week in Toronto, Canada.

Lil Yachty Addresses Vic Mensa’s Diss, Mumble Rap & Comparisons To Trinidad James (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) A lot of observers were confused when Vic Mensa chose to fire shots at Lil Yachty during one of his recent performances.

“Then I signed to the Roc, now they say I’m Illuminati. B-tch, I’m a tsunami. What the f-ck is a Lil Yachty?” rapped the Roc Nation representative at a show last weekend.

Yachty was a guest on The Breakfast Club, and the radio show crew asked about those Mensa lyrics directed at him.

“I wasn’t upset. I just didn’t understand it, because I met him twice and he dapped me up. That’s the only time I’ve ever met him,” Yachty explained.

According to the Atlanta native, his Chicago-bred deejay called Vic about the diss the night it happened.

“[My DJ] said, ‘What’s that stuff you did with Yachty? You put me in the middle of that,'” recalled the 19-year-old also known as Lil Boat. “And [Mensa] said, ‘Oh, that made the internet,’ and laughed. So he’s really just lame.”

Earlier in the interview, Yachty spoke about being labeled a “mumble rapper.”

The “One Night” performer said, “I don’t see where I be mumbling… I’m not saying I really be ‘spitting,’ but I feel like I open up my mouth. Or I be harmonizing or singing… I’m not tripping. As long as I continue to prosper, I’ll take mumbling to the top.”

The conversation on Power 105.1 also included Charlamagne Tha God suggesting some fans consider Lil Yachty as the “poster child of wack rappers,” like fellow Atlanta native Trinidad James.

“Whoa, that’s what I’m in? We’re in two different lanes,” responded Yachty to the Trinidad comparison.

He added, “Of course it doesn’t matter, but just to sit here and hear you put me in Trinidad James’ spot, has the shine of being terrible.”

Young Noble Airs EVERYTHING Out About Tupac, All Eyez On Me, John Singleton And More!

(AllHipHop News) Young Noble of the Outlawz is fed up with all the misinformation – “Rumors , Lies & Confusion” –  surrounding the looming biopic “All Eyez On Me,” which tells the life story of Tupac Shakur.

Noble was one of the emcees that rapped with Tupac in the 1990’s and was a comrade as well. Now, with family members, film makers and others chiming in, Noble has exclusively sent AllHipHop.com an exhaustive letter addressing nearly all of the issues surrounding the film.

He doesn’t mince words. Read below in its original form with minuscule editing:

This letter is from Young Noble of The Outlawz addressing the Rumors ,Lies & Confusion surrounding this new 2pac movie All Eyez On Me in theaters this June 16. Outlawz been keeping quiet about it for the longest because its so much nonsense that happened behind the scenes regarding 2pac Estate Lawyers that we chose not to speak on it out of respect for 2pac and the love we have for his family.

Edi first son was a child he had with 2pac sister so out of respect for the kids as well its certain things we would rather just not speak on, everything isn’t for the public! But as of recent with this movie coming out you have old friends, people he dealt with & even family of 2pac coming out publicly making false statements about the movie an speaking on Outlawz business an involvement.

Outlawz & 2pac loyal fans have been reaching out to us on a daily basis asking questions, genuinely concerned about whats going on an i dont blame them. Here are the facts. Morgan Creek did not sue Afeni Shakur to steal the rights to this movie. Morgan Creek & 2pac estate entered into an agreement to do the movie an then the 2pac estate lawyer tried to back out the deal an do a deal with a different movie company. The whole time trying to broker a side deal for herself with Morgan Creek for over a million dollars and didn’t even tell Afeni what she was doing. Morgan Creek got a call from the same movie company that the estate lawyer tried to do the back door deal with asking to be partners in the film, so Morgan Creek threatened to sue the lawyer & 2pac estate for breach of an agreement.

LT Hutton called me plenty of times trying to talk it out with Afeni an the estate so it didn’t go to court but the lawyer told everyone not to answer his calls. The estate lawyer knew she was wrong so the lawsuit never even made it to court. She settled an they had to proceed with Morgan Creek in the making of the movie. So after the mistakes on the lawyer behalf an getting the 2pac estate locked into this movie deal the lawyer quits as the estates lawyer after making millions off 2pac for the last 20 years. She messed up, got caught then she QUIT!!! This is the same lawyer who took advantage of The Outlawz when we was young & naive in the game. She was Outlawz lawyer as well as Afeni lawyer. First thing she had us do in 1997 was sign a waiver saying we cant sue her for being our lawyer an Afeni lawyer at the same time. We didn’t understand the business at the time but it was a 100% conflict of interest.

That’s like signing to a record label an you hire the same lawyer as the record label. She was in direct path of how we got paid an how much we got paid. Her loyalty was to whomever had the money which was the 2pac estate. After we signed the waiver saying we couldn’t sue her then she had us sign over all our back money that was owed to us to give to Afeni & 2pac estate for the All Eyez On Me album an Makaveli album which was worth a few million dollars. We didn’t know any better we was young kids, Pac had just died an she figured out a way to not pay us what they owed us so she played us on some family s###, played on our emotions like 2pac did so much for you guys..Afeni did so much for you guys just sign this contract do this for the family. We did it out of love & we moved on like men just kept working an never once even spoke on it till now. I say all that just to let yall know how deep we was in the loop an how our business & 2pac estate business was intertwined. This kind of stuff happened not with just with the Outlawz but Kadafi, Fatal an most of the Deathrow Artist that rap on or did beats on All Eyez on Me & Makaveli an other 2pac albums, most if not all of those artist will tell you themselves they didn’t get paid what they was supposed to an how vicious the lawyer was..Back to the subject..So here we are 2pac estate lawyer got them contractually obligated to do this film. Did Afeni get paid a BIG advance check for this movie? Of course! When this movie come out will 2pac estate get all the money they suppose to get on the back end? Of course! Did the 2pac estate receive a few million dollars already for Pac music to be used in the movie? Of course! Ok so if business is right what’s the problem? A creative control issue occurred about what actor the estate wanted to play 2pac in the film (Michael B Jordan) an Morgan creek & LT didn’t agree. An even then the estate still had plenty control in the film it was at least 10 things in the film that both parties had to mutually agree on that Morgan creek didnt even negotiate on they gave Afeni her say so. Then you have a lady who work for the estate who in the midst of all this for some reason tried to keep Afeni out the loop as far as the creative process. Morgan Creek & LT Hutton from day 1 wanted 2pac whole family to be apart of every single thing, they would call us an ask why nobody from the family coming to the movie set.They wanted to put all Pac cousins an family members in the movie an give them jobs on set, I even called many of them myself, some participated an some didnt from all the confusion.. Then the truth all comes out a few months ago in the meetings that the lady that work for the estate never relayed none of the messages to Afeni an family to come be apart of the creative process. Afeni passed away thinking they didn’t want her involved which in reality it was someone from her own company who she sent to all the meetings for some reason kept all this information to herself. In my opinion the people running the 2pac estate has nothing to do with the 2pac we all knew an loved. From the very beginning it was being controlled an manipulated by the powers that be (The Lawyers). They never gave a damn about 2pac, His Family, The Outlawz or his legacy. They up there getting extra paid off of 2pac at the expense of his family not knowing the music business. They took advantage of Afeni & The Outlawz from day 1!!! So all this confusion it benefits them its a distraction an it keeps the truth from coming out.

The same person who is running the 2pac estate RIGHT NOW is the same guy who signed 2pac to Interscope records. This is the same guy in 1995 when 2pac was in jail with the number 1 platinum album Me against the world out, this guy would not bail 2pac out of jail knowing that his album probably already generated millions for the label. So Suge stepped in an help get Pac out. This same guy Afeni left in charge of the estate when she passed away. So the same guy who left Pac in jail is the same guy in charge of Pac estate right now benefiting from his death! Just as recent as the 2pac Induction into the hall of fame April 7, 2017 the 2pac estate blocked The Outlawz from performing at this historical concert. I get a call from Treach of Naughty by nature the day before the Hall of fame concert in Brooklyn an he asked me was we gonna be there to perform because they called him to perform “Hail Mary.” He was real mad an felt it was total disrespect that they didn’t call The Outlawz to perform our own song. I told him no I wasn’t going and  I didn’t get a invite but Edi was going he bought his own ticket to the event. So Treach said he bringing Edi on stage with him to perform “Hail Mary” an they do soundcheck rehearsal with Edi & Treach on stage. Soon as they get off stage Treach gets a call from HBO because they taping the show for a HBO special an they tell Treach if Edi is on stage with him they gonna cut his performance because they just got a call from 2pac estate an they don’t want Edi on stage. Edi been knowing 2pac since they was lil kids if its 1 person in this whole world that deserve to be on stage honoring 2pac its Edi.

So when it comes to the Outlawz we learned years ago that we had to make decisions that was best for us an our families because nobody was gonna look out for us or have our best interest in this business. People didn’t have the same love an intentions for us that Pac did. So when we got the call from LT Hutton to help out an be a part of this film we said of course. We know LT from the Death Row days he always been a stand up dude an he was a good friend of Pac so it was no doubt in our mind that he would approach this film with honor, love an respect for Pac, his family an his legacy! LT did things out of love for the Outlawz & the 2pac estate over the years music wise so this guy is not a stranger to none of us.

I also thought it was awesome that a young black executive was behind bringing this movie to life.. A dude that actually knew & spent time with Pac so it was no way we was just gonna stand to the side an not help try to make this film the best it can possibly be. The movie was going forward with or without our involvement an this is the only 2pac movie that’s gonna happen it wont be another 1 despite [what] John Singleton going around saying. We tried to help an so did a lot of other people who worked close to Pac stepped up and got involved in the movie as well!

Lets move forward to John Singleton. He doing interviews saying he quit from directing the film because the producers wasn’t telling Pac story with integrity an they sued Afeni when the truth is he got fired from the job. We got the call the day he got fired an honestly i was kinda upset because i thought he was the perfect guy to direct Pac movie until i heard the reason he got fired. John wrote his own script for the movie an in his script he had a scene insinuating 2pac getting raped in jail an he had Afeni as a lesbian an wanted a scene in there with her doing some lesbian activities. So this dude John Singleton was gonna put all kinda lies an made up s### an give y’all some real Hollywood movie so he got fired on the spot an now he out here doing interviews saying he quit like he was doing something out of honor for Pac & Afeni.

I’m sure a lot of yall recently seen a interview from William (Bill Bang) Lesane who is Pac cousin who is also someone I consider family. He just did a interview giving false statements then he just retracted his statements to Morgan Creek & LT Hutton an wrote them a letter apologizing. But even in his interview he confirming what this letter is about he admits all this was the 2pac estates lawyer fault. Pac got a incredible movie finally done an coming out after 20 plus years an its a shame his family, friends an fans cant even fully embrace it because of all the drama surrounding it.

The fans who been supporting 2pac & Outlawz are truly concerned an they deserve to know the real truth, they wanna know when they spend they hard earned dollars on the music or the movie that the money goes to the right place. So despite people saying don’t support the movie the money goes where it supposed to go to the 2pac estate!! These is all Facts that can be proved in paperwork! The Outlawz don’t do publicity stunts or sell out we stand on principles. I couldn’t sit back any longer an let the lies go unanswered while people attack our characters, integrity, love an loyalty to our big brother Pac. This is Young Noble these are my words and my words only I don’t speak on behalf of no one but myself! The truth shall set you free!

J. Cole Discusses Avoiding Fame & Dissing Other Rappers

(AllHipHop News) On Saturday, J. Cole debuted his 4 Your Eyez Only documentary on HBO.

Prior to the film premiering on the cable network, the North Carolina native was interviewed for the New York Times.

The Times article featured Cole discussing several topics including his aversion to the spotlight and his feelings on dissing other rappers.

On fame:

The other side, it’s what we grow up believing that we need and want. It’s everybody’s dream… Who doesn’t want the pick of the litter on this, that and the third? Money, women, cars. And beyond all of that — which I really wasn’t into — praise… It’s addictive. To recognize it, it was the first step… And to change it required overcoming internal fear: I had to recognize, well, where’s the fear coming from?

On rap beef:

For so long my mind state was, I have to show how much better than the next man I am through these bars. Who’s the best? Let me prove it. And it’s just like, damn, I’m really feeding into a cycle of keeping black people down, I’m really feeding into that.

Cole’s 4 Your Eyez Only album became his fourth project to be certified platinum, following Cole World: The Sideline Story, Born Sinner, and 2014 Forest Hills Drive.

Is Rick Ross Dating This Twitter Exec?

(AllHipHop Rumors) We aren’t sure if Rick Ross will ever settle down!

Word on the curb is that Ricky Rozay may be dating Twitter exec, Liz Hagelthorn. You know the biggest bawse hardly claims any of his harem/sister wives short of a hugged up Instagram picture that usually someone else leaks.

He doesn’t post Hagelthorn, but he did tag her once. Liz has posted a lot about him though. It seems that although she’s listed them as friendship goals, there is more than what meets the eye between them.

Apparently Liz met Ross back in January when she interviewed him, and the two have been inseparable ever since. She doesn’t seem like his type. Then again, Ross doesn’t have a type because every girl he’s dated seems completely different.

What are your thoughts? Is she a baddie? Is she badder than Lira? Is it an upgrade?

Tyler, The Creator Helped Create The Theme Song For Netflix’s ‘Bill Nye Saves The World’ (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Longtime television personality Bill Nye (aka The Science Guy) is taking his talents to Netflix for a new show.

Bill Nye Saves the World is set to arrive on the streaming platform on April 21.

“I’m excited to be working with Netflix on a new show, where we’ll discuss the complex scientific issues facing us today, with episodes on vaccinations, genetically modified foods and climate change,” said Nye in a press release. “With the right science and good writing, we’ll do our best to enlighten and entertain our audience.

Tyler and Nye appeared together in a video posted to Twitter where they talked about the original syndicated television show.

“It would come on on Saturday morning before the cartoons. My favorite part was the location. It was always this random – you never really knew where the wall ended. I always thought that was tight,” said Tyler about the initial Bill Nye science program which ran for five seasons on PBS.

 

 

Chris Brown Caught On Camera Beating Up A Photographer

(AllHipHop News) Chris Brown’s “Party Tour” could be derailed, thanks to a brawl the rapper was recently involved in.

The controversial singer, who seems to be in a different legal quandary every month, was in Tampa Florida last night (April 16) or an appearance at a local nightclub named Aja Channelside.

The owner of the venue claimed claims that tensions started to rise, when Chris Brown and his entourage arrived at the club and demanded that no photographer no fake photos be taken.

When a photographer decided to snap some pictures of the crowd as he stood behind Chris Brown in a DJ Bruce, a full on brawl broke out.

Chris Brown was caught on camera punching and beating the photographer, as the owner of the club call police.

However, Chris Brown and his entourage left before the cops arrived.

According to TMZ.com, the photographer is planning on pressing charges.

Take a look:

‘Furious 8’ Earns F. Gary Gray The Highest-Grossing Global Opening For An African-American Director

(AllHipHop News) In 2015, F. Gary Gray became the highest-grossing African-American director of a single film in domestic sales when Straight Outta Compton brought in $161.2 million.

While Compton has since been passed by Jordan Peele’s Get Out, Gray now has the highest-grossing international opening for an African-American director ever.

The former music video director broke that mark when The Fate of the Furious earned an estimated a $532.5 million box office opening around the world.

That total is also the largest global opening for any movie in history, passing Star Wars: The Force Awakens which made $529 million two years ago.

Those huge worldwide numbers offset the lower than expected domestic box office total for The Fate of the Furious.

The movie – also referred to as Fast & Furious 8 – brought in around $100.2 million in North America which is less than the $147 million opening for Furious 7.

Yet, the 100.2 million haul is still the second highest first-weekend domestic gross of the eight films in the series.

“This franchise is showing no sign of wear and tear,” said Duncan Clark, President of Distribution for Universal Pictures International. “Fate of the Furious is satisfying audiences on many different levels.”

Vin Diesel, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, and Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges returned as cast members for the latest edition of the action flick franchise.

Gray’s filmography also features Friday, Set It OffThe Negotiator, and The Italian Job.

He helmed videos for Hip Hop standouts like Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, TLC, OutKast, Jay Z, and Rick Ross as well.

Jas Prince Reportedly Files Lawsuit Against Birdman & Slim Over Drake Profits

(AllHipHop News) Jas Prince has been in a legal dispute with Cash Money Records for years.

Back in 2015, reports circulated that Prince was moving his lawsuit against the music label over Drake royalties from Florida to New York.

Now TMZ insists Prince is behind more legal documents taking aim directly at Cash Money founders Bryan “Birdman” Williams and Ronald “Slim” Williams.

The original suit targeted Cash Money and Aspire Music Group for unpaid profits worth millions.

Apparently, Prince now owns part of Aspire, and he is still seeking to collect money for his supposed contributions to Drake’s highly successful career.

TMZ reports:

According to the [new] suit, Birdman’s blowing off his contractual duty to pay Aspire Music one-third of his Drake profits. He also signed Drake to an exclusive deal in January 2013, but according to docs … that new contract breached Drake’s original one, and cheated Aspire out of $4 million.

Jas Prince is often credited with discovering Drake and connecting him with the Young Money imprint under Cash Money.

“Cortez Bryant is [Lil] Wayne’s manager. When we figured out that we wanted to work on the [Drake] project, Cortez flew down to Houston and sat with me and my dad [Rap-A-Lot Records founder James Prince] and we talked about how we were going to do it—50/50, with him and Wayne and me and my dad, Young Money and Young Empire,” stated Prince in 2015 interview.

Hacker Gets Into Mary J. Blige’s Account And Posts Messages About Her Ex-Husband

(AllHipHop News) Singer Mary J. Blige is denying reports she slammed her estranged husband Kendu Isaacs on Twitter, insisting she was hacked.

On Sunday (April 16) a message displaying her alleged contempt for Isaacs appeared on the social media site.

“F##k Kendu Isaacs I f##king hate him and his whole family,” it reportedly read. “I unfollowed him on IG (Instagram) & ALL of my fans need 2 (sic)…”

The posting has since been deleted and the 46-year-old reveals she was not the one responsible for it.

“Hey guys. I was hacked with that message about Kendu,” she writes. “I don’t hate him & his family. Nor do I wish death on him. I just want this 2 B (sic) over.”

The “No More Drama” hitmaker filed legal papers to end her 12-year marriage in July, and the estranged couple has been fighting over his request for almost $130,000 -a-month in spousal support ever since.

Last year, Mary admitted the Kendu she married is a completely different person to the man she is now battling in court and she recently revealed she began to reevaluate the marriage when Kendu began to criticize her over unimportant matters.

“The overwhelming disrespect (he was showing me was too much),” she told Power 105.1’s Angie Martinez last month. “You’re too familiar. You’re way too familiar and you’re disrespecting me and I know… I can sense that I’m not what you want anymore, because now you’re starting to throw questions around like, ‘OK, why you don’t cook?’ ‘Well, I haven’t been cooking’. ‘Why you don’t wear your hair like this?’ ‘I never wore my hair like this before’. ‘What’s up with you?’ You know?”

PREMIERE: Clay James Is Putting Fake Ones On Notice With His New Single “100” (AUDIO)

(AllHipHop News) Georgia-based rhymer Clay James is keeping it one hundred on his new track.

Almost a year after being announced as a flagship artist on Snoop Dogg’s revitalized DoggyStyle Records, James connected with Ohio’s Double Barrellz for the new track “100.”

“I’m just happy to finally get the recognition I’ve been working for all these years I’ve been on the grind. Snoop really gave me a platform and support system to be heard and taken seriously,” the Atlanta/Savannah representative tells AllHipHop.com.

Clay continues, “I predict in 18 months or less DoggyStyle Records will be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, independent label in the country.”

The Savage Beats-produced “100” is just the latest musical effort from James.

He previously dropped full bodies of work such as Henny & Apple Juice, 2 EZ, and Playas Club.

In addition, James performs as a member of Southern Playas with Messiah Da Rapper.

Did Jay Z & Beyonce Once Consider Adoption?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Although the Carter family is growing by two, it looks like there was a little bit of difficulty on the road to expansion.

Rumor has it that our favorite couple was extremely close to adopting a child when the blessing of in-vitro fertilization worked!

According to RadarOnline, an insider said,

“They had finalized papers to adopt a child and were on the hunt for an orphan to take home when the IVF worked. It was incredible timing.”

That would’ve been some lucky kid! The source claims that Beyonce’s sister, Solange, predicted that their fertility issues would go away right when they stopped worrying about them.

“Solange actually predicted this would happen — that they’d stop worrying about their fertility issues when they started the adoption process. Thankfully they’d not yet started visiting orphanages so they hadn’t bonded with any kids yet,” said the source.

Clearly the Blueprint twins have put any thought of adoption on the back burner, but The Carters are said to not be completely ruling the idea out. Hell they can adopt me anytime!

Drake Accuses Coachella Area Country Club Of Racial Profiling

(AllHipHop News) Drake was out at the Coachella Festival this weekend to take in his peers’ performances and take part in Future’s set on Saturday.

Apparently, Drake’s experience in California also consisted of a racially motivated incident at The Madison Club.

“The most offensive place I have ever stayed at in my life with staff who pick and choose who they are going to accommodate based on racial profiling,” wrote the Canadian artist on his Instagram page.

Drake did not provide more details about the situation at The Madison Club that led him to post that message on IG.

A description on the Riverside County establishment’s website reads:

The Madison Club is the most exclusive private residential community in La Quinta, California offering the finest golf and club facilities in an intimate and sophisticated setting.

Offering a limited number of homes and memberships, The Madison Club is the modern interpretation of California’s classic old-line country clubs.

The most offensive place I have ever stayed at in my life with staff who pick and choose who they are going to accommodate based on racial profiling ?? #Coachella
