It seems like every other day Chief Keef and Fetty Wap allegedly get someone pregnant. They don’t believe in condoms and aren’t afraid of STDs apparently. Two new women are claiming to be pregnant by Chief Keef, @Slim_Danger and Keef’s girlfriend @Simone_Patton. One of his other baby mamas was upset last year because Chief was flashing money on Instagram, but he wouldn’t pay his child support. Remember when Chief Keef’s lawyers said he is a target for women looking to come up. We believe Keef doesn’t like to use condoms, and seems to be a little off…
We know J Lo has a lot going on down there so its no surprise this video is trending on YouTube today. Check it out as J Lo has a wardrobe malfunction in her final bow during her Vegas residency. We didn’t film it we’re just reporting that it was filmed.
With some of the most poppin R&B/Hip-Hop albums over the past few years with Venice and Malibu, Anderson .Paak returns to us in a new episode of Snoop’s GGN. Snoop recalls when he first heard Anderson and Anderson recalls how he go into music.
Whats funny though, is that we learn Snoop has NEVER seen Star Wars. When the two recalled some of their favorite movies and the scores like Super Fly, Snoop just lets it be known that he never really got into Star Wars.
Aside from that Snoop says that Anderson .Paak’s voice is like the old timers who used to leave it all out when singing, which true hip-hop fans know is hard to come by in the new age of hip-hop
Wiz Khalifa quickly expressed that he was not a fan of Kanye West changing his album’s title from ‘Swish’ to ‘Waves.’ Wiz pointed out that Max B is the wavy one as “he created the wave, and well there would be no wave without him.” Wiz said,
“Please don’t take the wave.”
Kanye clapped back suggesting Wiz stole his entire style from Kid Cudi. Ye even went as far as to call Wiz’s music corny. During their Twitter exchange, Kanye also went off as he believed Wiz was sneaking dissing his wife, Kim Kardashain, when Wiz tweeted,
“Hit this kk and become yourself.”
Kanye replied saying,
“Like oh that’s Ye and I can put his wife’s initials on my Twitter @WizKhalifa.”
Wiz Khalifa replied saying,
“KK is weed fool. Reasons why your not wavy. Go bacc to Swish.”
Poor Ye got emotional lol, he doesn’t play about his Kim K!. The two not only share a disagreement for who should be able to rep the wave, they also have history with Amber Rose. Ye is in full troll mode, we see, as he claims this will be the best album of all time, and as he claims to be the best who ever did it.

According to RadarOnline, Beyoncé is nearly five months pregnant. She recently shot a new music video in Los Angeles where she was pretty covered up.
RadarOnline reports:
“Although she didn’t announce it or anything, it was pretty apparent from the way she was acting that pregnancy rumors seemed to be true. She was probably close to five months pregnant. Indeed, she used a stunt double for the crazier shots. It was pretty indicative she was covering up. She had a dress on, but this really b######## hoodie covering up. That was the outfit she used for the whole shoot. But despite her efforts to hide it, she definitely had a little belly pouch.”
RadarOnline’s insider also claimed Bey was complaining about being nauseous and extremely tired. Rumor has it that Beyonce is trying to finish all of her shoots before her baby bump gets too big.
Apparently delusional Stacey Dash wants an apology from all of her critics. Well Stacey will be waiting for that forever. People have dragged Stacey Dash to hell and back for her call to eliminate Black History Month and BET. Now Dash is using Morgan Freeman as a way to justify her remarks. Freeman previously expressed his views in regards to Black History Month. In a blog post titled, “Twitter Haters, When Do I Get My Apology for Agreeing with Morgan Freeman about #BlackHistoryMonth?,” Dash claims Freeman expressed similar views, but he didn’t receive the backlash. Dash went on to say,
“Well, if you’re going to call me ignorant, stupid, and an Uncle Tom, you need to be intellectually honest and also call out Morgan Freeman.”
In Dash’s blog post she included footage of Morgan Freeman during an episode of 60 minutes where Freeman expressed his views in 2006. In the clip, Freeman called Black History Month ridiculous, but not for the same reasons as Stacey Dash. Freeman expressed that black history shouldn’t be compressed into a month as it should be celebrated the entire year. What are your thoughts? Does anyone owe Stacey an apology?
(AllHipHop News) Wiz Khalifa did not like the idea of Kanye West changing his next album’s title from Swish to Wave. The “See You Again” rhymer told his Twitter followers, “Please don’t take the wave.” Kanye has now responded to Wiz’s comments on his own Twitter page.
Ye sent out a series of tweets directed at Wiz. The G.O.O.D. Music boss suggested the Pittsburgh native stole his style from Kid Cudi, and he called Wiz’s music corny. Kanye even wrote, “You let a stripper trap you.”
The two rappers have an interesting history. They both were once involved with Amber Rose. On “Cold,” Kanye rapped, “And the whole industry want to f*ck your old chick. Only n*gga I got respect for is Wiz”
Wiz has responded to Kanye on Twitter. His tweets have been added to the gallery.
Kanye has deleted the tweets directed at Wiz from his Twitter timeline. He later wrote, “Ima take these down cause it’s all about positive energy” and “the Devil can’t stop us.”
Ye added one more shot at Wiz with, “Man it’s a sad a day… Wiz lost 2 million followers since I tweeted I didn’t mean to either him like that.”
Wiz Khalifa’s ex-wife Amber Rose has now taken aim at Kanye for his comments about her. See what she had to say HERE.

On Monday (Jan. 25), Michael Tanner Phillips was shot and killed in his Jonesboro, GA home. In the past, the late Phillips formerly worked as one of Future’s bodyguards. In the midst of their investigation, area detectives are interested in speaking with anyone in Michael’s circle of friends, family, and associates who may have useful information.
Concerned authorities will have to look further than Future. The Purple Reign purveyor is completely devastated about Phillips’ untimely passing, but he doesn’t have any helpful information for the cops, this according to TMZ. Sources have gone on to claim that Future flatly refuses to have any interaction with the cops.
Authorities are still working to build a case and arouse a murder suspect. The police do not have any suspects in custody as of press time but have several leads. A rep from the “Honest” rapper’s camp insists that back in 2011 Future and Phillips ended their professional relationship, this reported by XXL.
R.I.P. to Michael Phillips.
Ricco Barrino took a short hiatus from the music industry, but the High Point, North Carolina native returned in 2015 with a major hit. The singer-songwriter is one of the contributors, along with T.I. and Young Dolph, to Colonel Loud’s Top 10 R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay smash “California.”
In addition, Barrino’s affiliation with Tip extends to being a member of the Atlanta rapper’s Grand Hustle Records roster where Ricco added vocals to T.I.’s “P### Star,” Young Dro’s “Hood Gospel,” and B.o.B’s “5th Dimension.” His résumé also includes writing credits for Young Jeezy, R. Kelly, and his sister American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino.
The nephew of the 1960’s soul group The Barrino Brothers is also a solo artist in his own right. Besides teaming with some of the top talent in the business, Barrino has released his own mixtapes Twenty 12 Play and Musical Evolution. Up next is his single “Come To The Money,” another collaboration with Colonel Loud.
AllHipHop.com connected with Ricco Barrino to take part in the “My Five Firsts” series. This exclusive interview consists of the “Bubble Gum” vocalist sharing his experiences on performing with Fantasia, meeting T.I., hitting the strip club, and hearing a couple of classic R&B albums for the first time.
Long before American Idol, we were already making people feel good in local churches. So as we got older, we found ourselves in clubs and local coffee houses making people stand on tables and chairs by making people listen to our vocals. It was always an adrenaline rush.
It was a surreal feeling. I had contemplated and calculated that day for so long that it felt like we had been brothers in another life. We immediately got to work, and he trusted my opinions which kept me motivated. I owe a lot to him for believing in me since day one. From the first phone call to now, he has never changed. Salute Tip.
I was in Atlanta, Georgia, and the strip club was Jazzy T’s. I remember like it was 5 minutes ago. They were playing an Eminem song. Although I am a fan of Eminem, I am not a fan of all of his work.
That night the DJ played his new single and I remember watching this girl in front of me who was built like a female Belgian horse dance for me slowly. Man, I could have gave her my wallet that night. [laughs]
Long story short, I couldn’t get the song out of my head. That night inspired me to write my first regional hit single “Bubble Gum” which caught the attention of Atlantic records and [Grand Hustle co-founder] Jason Geter. I knew I wanted that same feeling and understood the power of the strip club in reference to breaking new music. God Bless Jazzy T’s!
For me, the beat felt the same, because I grew up around that type of sound. I’m all the time finding myself living out déjà vu moments, moments from my childhood days. So to hear the beat, it’s almost as if I was a part of the composers’ mission to reinvent a classic that never died, it only grew.
R.Kelly’s 12 Play – for me it gave me a feeling of freedom to speak passionately about things that men didn’t say on records. I found the passion to be able to say what I wanted and make my own Zane book off of the stamp R. Kelly put on wax.
Jodeci’s Forever My Lady – with Jodeci it was total excitement, because what people didn’t know was that they are my first cousins. So once I heard them hop on the record [“Treat Them Like They Want to Be Treated”] with Father MC, after hearing them come out of church it made me want to hear more. I was so amped up I must have requested it 1500 times. Then the DJ played it about 1500 times till I didn’t want to hear it anymore. That’s when I knew it was a hit song.

(AllHipHop News) Kevin Gates has become known for making questionable statements. Now the Louisiana rapper is jumping on Stacey Dash’s controversial bandwagon involving her call to abolish BET and Black History Month.
“I agree with her,” Gates told DJ SussOne. “It’s only two types of people: real people and fake people. It’s no such thing as color in my realm.”
On the other end of the conversation, actress Gabrielle Union was not feeling Dash’s comments about ending African-American centered award shows like the BET Awards and the NAACP Image Awards. The Associated Press spoke with Union about the topic.
“Who’s that? Who’s Stacey Dash? Is she like related to Dame Dash? Was she on Roc-A-Fella?” joked Union. “I heard of a crazy lady once, maybe last week, but I don’t know what her name is.”
The Being Mary Jane star added, “It’s like why there’s a need for [Nate Parker’s Nat Turner biopic] Birth Of A Nation, the Country Music Awards, and the ALMA Awards. If you don’t see yourself reflected in mainstream awards, you tend to create your own… the more we focus on inclusion and a true representation of this country, I think that crazy lady will have less to say.”

(AllHipHop News) While the Drake/Meek Mill feud dominated the headlines for 2015, it may have been forgotten that the OVO leader also had issues with fellow YMCMB representative Tyga last year as well. It appears the beef between Drizzy and T-Raww has been settled.
According to Tyga
"He put us in a room together when he was doing his fashion show… We have each other a hug and just chopped it up" #RealAfterPartyTyga

(AllHipHop News) More members of the Hip Hop community are stepping up to help the residents of Flint, Michigan. The city has been suffering through lead contamination in its water supply for years. Detroit native Big Sean recently donated $10,000 to the #HealFintKids fundraiser, and now fellow Roc Nation affiliate DJ Mustard is set to match Sean’s contribution.
“As a father of two kids, the tragedy in Flint, Michigan hit home for me,” says DJ Mustard. “Shout out to Big Sean for starting this viral campaign. I hope my donation can encourage others to step up for an important cause.”
Mustard is partnering with The Sean Anderson Foundation which benefits the Community Foundation of Greater Flint Michigan’s “Flint Child Health & Development Fund.” The fund was set up by CFGF and its partners to ensure the long-term health of Flint families affected by the 2014-2016 water crisis.

(AllHipHop News) This may go down as the strangest and most unexpected rap beef in Hip Hop history: Atlanta rhymer B.o.B versus astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. It all started when B.o.B went on a Twitter rant about the Earth actually being flat. Tyson responded to the No Genre label head, and then B.o.B dropped a track called “Flatline” which included a jab at the 57-year-old StarTalk host.
Neil deGrasse Tyson decided to answer back. He recruited a rapper named Tyson to pen some bars directed at Bobby Ray. The JusListen Entertainment artist’s diss song “Flat To Fact” borrows the beat and flow from Drake’s “Back To Back” as the spitter calls out B.o.B for promoting the idea that the world is not round.
Dear @bobatl, as an astrophysicist I don’t rap, but I know people who do. This one has my back: https://t.co/BbMi4tzHLz

Young Thug made headlines today, so it wouldn’t be right in this day and age if he didn’t release a new song as a hot side to that main course. This track was inspired by Lil Boosie’s bout with cancer and it’s in support of Boosie’s fight with the disease. The disease gets a big F-you for the track title and features Quavo from the Migos. Slime Season 3 is expected to be released on February 5th. “F*ck Cancer”!
ANTI IS COMING!
Navy folks…get ready. Rihanna is supposedly coming this week! You know, I gotta admit, I really like me some RiRi. And I am thinking that she is going to snap sometime this week. She has been teasing the album for months. And now it is HERE…supposedly. Folks in the game are saying it may come before Friday, the new release day for albums. There is also a supposed new song with Drake coming this week to make the album more commercially buoyant.
You ready?
