(AllHipHop News) A Christmas caroling service in Sri Lanka found itself embarrassed, after they accidentally printed and handed out thousands of copies of Tupac’s lyrics during a Christmas celebration.

The lyrics to Tupac’s classic Hip-Hop song “Hail Mary” were printed out at the 2016 Catholic Joy to the World Festival, which is one of Sri Lanka’s largest Christmas celebrations.

According to The Independent, almost 1,000 programs were handed out to attendees with Tupac’s lyrics, instead of the 15th Century Catholic prayer.

The event was billed as a fundraiser, organized by the Archdiocese of the City of Colombo.

The news comes on the heels of Tupac becoming the first solo Hip-Hop artist to be inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

(AllHipHop News) Troy Ave got a visit from 50 Cent today after he was shot two times on Christmas day.

50 Cent has showed an affinity for the young Brooklyn rapper for quite some time and reasserted his support on the holiday.

The elder rapper simply said, “Dope boy Troy all good, Merry Christmas.”

Ave was on his way to Christmas dinner with his family when he was shot in the arm and the head. The headshot grazed him and his wounds were non-life threatening. Roland Collins, Ave’s real name, was sitting in a red Maserati when the shots rang out.

This is the second attempt on his life. Earlier in the year, Ave was involved in a shooting incident that left him injured and his bodyguard dead backstage at a T.I. concert in Manhattan. For his role in the shooting, he was charged with attempted murder and eventually posted $500,000 bail in July.

Police are investigating this current matter, but have not released any information on the suspected shooter.

(AllHipHop Rumors) King Yella gives Young M.A. a Christmas gift the Grinch would love! The Chicago gangster has charged that the BK rapper uses a ghostwriter! Normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal. Most rappers are corny. Young M.A. is not. So, apparently King Yella had a conversation with her management and they informed to him that she uses a ghostwriter and didn’t know what the Tookah line meant. Remember Tooka is the name of a street dude killed by a rival faction. Chief Keef most notably stay something slick about him. Young M.A. said something similar and it was a gross violation, which resulted in a price on her head. King Yella even decided to apologize to Young M.A. since she apparently didn’t even know what she was saying in the rap. I don’t know if she really uses a ghostwriter. In fact. I don’t believe she does. However, it may be time to call that management team on this one. They are good people and I find it hard to believe they would even TELL the enemy a deep, dark secret like that. You think?

Young M.A. has already denied the allegations and also apologized to Tooka’s fam. I believe her. Watch below.

(AllHipHop News) Rapper E-40 may help a struggling community center make it through 2017, thanks to a five figure donation.

E-40 recently donated $20,000 to the Salvation Army, which is over $40,000 behind last year’s budget.

According to the Mercury News, the 49-year-old rapper has fond memories of the local Salvation Army in Vallejo, where he and his family would stand in line for toys during hard times.

“Knowing how many families they can feed, helping single parents and whatnot, I’m glad to be a part of it,” E-40 said. “Vallejo is my city and I’m just giving back.”

The rapper is serious about his philanthropic work in Vallejo.

In August, E-40 donated over $25,000 to the students of Franklin Middle School, where he once attended.

E-40 put up the money, after he realized the middle school had lost a grant for school supplies their students needed to start the school year.

Earlier this month, E-40’s latest album The D-Boy Diary Books 1 & 2, landed in the Top 20 of Billboard’s Indie and R&B/Hip Hop Charts.

(AllHipHop News) Young Jeezy celebrated the holiday season with his “extended family” earlier this week in Atlanta, when his Street Dreamz Foundation hosted a gala event for kids in the foster care system.

Jeezy gathered hundreds of kids at Slingshot Entertainment, where the kids ate food and drove race cars at the entertainment compound with the rap star and other volunteers.

“Giving back is the most important aspect of my life,” Young Jeezy said. “It’s important to me that the less fortunate get opportunities to enjoy family time during holiday season. Some of these children don’t have biological families in their lives, so I decided long ago that I would open my arms and welcome them into my family, the Street Dreamz Foundation family.”

The rapper also handed out a gift card to each child for Foot Locker and Forever 21. The entire event was put on by Jeezy’s Street Dreamz Foundation and the National Lighthouse Foundation.
