(AllHipHopNews) According to reports DMV rapper OG ManMan, whose real name is Antonio Leach, was recently murdered in southeast DC.
The details surrounding the 23-year-old rapper’s murder are emerging, but his slaying is believed to be retaliation for his very controversial video “Truth,” in which he throws darts at his enemies ruthlessly.
The video opens with OG ManMan masked while sporting two guns nefariously, then continues with him at the gravesite of one of his rivals portrayed in the video.
His actions at the grave site are very disrespectful as he pours out a bottle of liquor over a photo of the individual and then proceeds to light the portrait ablaze.
There is also an audio clip featured during his appearance at the grave that seems to be the news report of the individual’s murder.
In the vitriol fueled track OG ManMan raps lines such as:
“Keep playing n**ga I swear to god they gonna miss you, Once I get to spraying I swear to god I’m gonna hit you.”
In the song, OG ManMan also vows to take out other members of the rival crew.
The rapper had previously addressed the strong response to the video in an interview with Cutthroat TV before his murder stating, “I mean, it’s disrespectful, it’s real, it’s the truth. What you expect?”
He also spoke on some of his issues with the rival crew.
Check out the controversial video below.

It’s no secret that Azealia Banks needs help, but now it looks like she may really need to seek counseling if she is in fact altering her skin. It looks as if Banks has been bleaching her skin as she has been appearing visibly lighter than usual in recent photos. Now lighting, makeup, and filters can drastically alter one’s appearance, but we don’t believe any of these are the case right now. Interesting enough, Banks was the same one to blast Lil’ Kim, K. Michelle, and Diana Ross for allegedly bleaching their skin! Anyway, where’s the music Azealia?!

(AllHipHop News) Former Yo MTV Raps! co-host Doctor Dre is pitching a reality show that will document his fight with diabetes, which has cost him his eyesight.
According to a recent interview with the New York Times, Doctor Dre opened up about his lifestyle and his eating habits while out on the road, when he was young and touring.
Doctor Dre was Ed Lover’s personable, hefty, sidekick. Unfortunately, the DJ, formally named as Andre Brown, developed Type 2 diabetes at 42, because of his poor diet.
As a result of his battle with diabetes, Doctor Dre is legally blind, has lost one toe and suffered from numerous ankle injuries associated with being overweight.
“My stubbornness put me where I’m at,” Doctor Dre told The New York Times. “Now my energy is going to change that. We got young people, grown people, old, all having this. We can prevent this. We can cure this. I have an idea how to do it.”
Doctor Dre hopes his upcoming weight loss surgery will help ease some of his symptoms.
In order to share his experience fighting the disease, Dr. Dre is pitching a reality show with former Def Jam executive, Bill Adler.
Bill Adler blasted some of his connections in the music industry for not taking to Doctor Dre’s positive reality show concept immediately.
“These are people I’ve known for 30 years, and they haven’t gotten back to me,” Bill Adler fumed. “Dré just wants to share his enthusiasm with people. There are plenty of other folks who star in reality shows who are plainly narcissists, who are convinced every absurd thing out of their mouth has to be captured by a television camera. That is not Dré.”
Check out the full New York Times interview here.
Despite Jim Jones and Max B’s past issues, Jones believes Max B had the potential to become just as big of a star as Drake. Jones signed Max to his ByrdGang label in 2006, only for the pair to part ways a few years later. Jones says he put a lot of money into Max’s pockets and bailed him out from certain circumstances. Jones said a lot of these artists that are singing and being very melodic were influenced by Max B’s catalog. Do you think Max would’ve been as big as Drake?

“Wow hov said jealously is a female trait, I ain’t gay I ain’t into liking dudes no way.”
Oschino decided to let fans know what really went down between all of them as he accused Beanie of taking everyone’s money.

Demrick returns with a new song featuring a guest appearance by none other than Casey Veggies.
The song “Different Day” is the follow up to Demrick’s songs “Freak Show” and “Back In The Daze,” both taken from his new album Collect Call.
“‘Different Day’ was created from a very casual, yet real place,” Demrick explained. “I was sitting in the studio, and a few calls and texts had come through my phone that day that typically would’ve annoyed me. Rather than get annoyed, I was just in a mindset that wouldn’t allow me to get flustered on that particular day. The song feels exactly how I felt on the day I wrote it, which was stress-free.”
