(AllHipHop News) Comedian Amy Schumer and donated $50,000 to AIDS charity RED to fund a campaign with DJ Khaled, in honor of World AIDS Day.

Amy put up the cash, which will allow one lucky fan to win a jetski ride with DJ Khaled, all in support of a good cause.

Khaled is currently hosting the first ever “Snapathon” with (RED), where he will tell his fans what they need to know about HIV and AIDS, and what can be done to combat the spread of the incurable disease.

“I’m super excited to be supporting the (RED) SHOPATHON with something pretty wild,” DJ Khaled told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “To date, 35 million people have died of AIDS, and 37 million are living with the disease.  It’s crazy when you know this, it costs just 30 cents a day for the life-saving meds that stop an HIV+ mom from passing the virus to her baby. And crazier still is that by 2020, we could see world where no baby is born with HIV. I’ve just become a father, so I’m really seeing the importance of this fight. But we won’t win the fight unless we get up, raise money, amp up the noise and fight this disease to the end.”

Fans can go to Omaze.com/Khaled and donate as litle as $10 to (RED), which was created by U2 frontman Bono and Bobby Shriver, to fight the global spread of HIV/AIDS.

Check out DJ Khaled’s special (RED) Snapchat filters for his fans to find in select locations in New York, Los Angeles and Miami, available only on World AIDS Day, which is today (December 1).

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is involved in the campaign as well, by matching all donations 10-1, with the possibility of raising up to $6 million.

The “Like This” performer went on to add he still listens to older artists and would like to see people collaborate more.

“Everybody should just be working together and congratulating instead of getting in their feelings and being jealous at younger cats,” stated Rich.

“Funkmaster Flex, please stop talking bout me. Unless you finna play my songs, then don’t talk about me. Old man, here’s a bar. I hope you fall into a hole where there’s no sun and stars.”

Now recent reports suggest that despite his release from the hospital, Kanye is far from well and will not be returning to the stage anytime soon.

T.I. Is Not Giving Up On His Family!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Although many have wondered over the past couple of days will this finally be the last straw in T.I. and Tiny’s relationship, it seems that Tip is not giving up on his family.

Now we all love the way T.I. talks and writes with his true southern ATL accent, big vocabulary, and occasionally misplaced SAT words. We were kind of hoping for this kind of response from Tip following the leak of footage of Tiny and Floyd Mayweather dancing.

T.I. kept it simple this time as he posted a post on Instagram quoting New Edition.

“Storms will come….. but tell me baby can you stand the rain- New Edition voice. #ItsALifestyle #MysaucerunnithOver #FuckNi66aFreeChallenge still in full effect.”

Now listen, Tip has been rumored for years to have his cake and eat it too with so many rumors about alleged flings and relationships he’s allegedly had with women outside of their marriage.

Tiny even commented once on social media that Tip had in fact been rumored to cheat with a known prostitute, and that he’d have to take that up with God.

Sometimes it takes a woman to have to do the same thing men do for men to wake up. Maybe T.I. is ready to make everything right with his family…..We have heard that their threesomes are lit though. LOL.

They love each other and have a very big family as well as blended family now. They probably aren’t going anywhere. Carry on.

Kanye Fights Back In “New Slaves” Lawsuit

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Kanye West is fighting back against copyright infringement allegations regarding his song “New Slaves” amid his medical emergency.

Hungarian rocker Gabor Presser filed suit against the “All of the Lights” hitmaker in a New York court in May, claiming the hip-hop star sampled his track “Gyonhyhaju Lany” at the end of “New Slaves” without his formal approval.

According to his legal action, Kanye reached out to Presser to seek his permission before the tune was released on his 2013 album Yeezus. Presser agreed, but under the assumption that a formal deal would be negotiated.

Kanye sent the composer a $10,000 advance to push the deal through quickly, but Presser insisted he never cashed the check, and subsequently demanded $2.5 million in compensation.

The rapper has since responded to the lawsuit, insisting Presser gave him the green light to proceed with sampling “Gyonhyhaju Lany.”

In court papers obtained by DailyMail.com, Kanye also petitions the judge to allow the case to be moved from New York to Los Angeles, where he lives.

He also notes his fellow defendants at record label Sony Music and Gimme My Publishing Inc. are also located in California, making the change of venue a more convenient forum for litigation.

The request has been met with opposition from Presser, who argues Kanye regularly does business in the Big Apple, where he also owns a pad.

The plaintiff also insists he would not be able to continue with the suit if he has to travel from eastern Europe to Los Angeles to fight for his compensation, as it would be an unnecessary burden.

Kanye’s lawsuit response was filed on November 11, days before he was admitted to the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center (UCLA) for a mental evaluation on November 21 after erratic behavior and onstage rants led to fears for his health.
He has since been released and is receiving treatment for exhaustion and sleep deprivation.
