(AllHipHop News) Romeo Miller is a very busy man. The 26-year-old entertainer is part of the cast of two reality shows – Master P’s Family Empire and Growing Up Hip Hop. Romeo is also set to star in several upcoming films.
AllHipHop.com spoke with Romeo on the red carpet at the premiere for Growing Up Hip Hop. The creator of the forthcoming Fighting Monsters album spoke about his turn in the third installment of the Jarhead film series.
“I just got the lead role in seven films. I got Jarhead 3 coming next year,” Romeo announced. “We’ve been keeping that under wraps. I’m the lead in the new Jarhead.”
After appearing in previous movies such as Jumping The Broom and Madea’s Witness Protection, Romeo is also slated for the 2016 horror flick Little Dead Rotting Hood. A comic series is in the works as well.
Even with all of his individual success, Romeo still remains close with his Southern rap legend father Master P. But according to the younger Miller, the “Make ‘Em Say Uhh!” rhymer does not view his children as his friends. It is strictly a father-son relationship.
“My pop’s main rule is he’s our parent, he’s not our friend,” revealed Romeo. “We don’t even talk about dating. I’ve probably talked about girls with my pops maybe once or twice.”
Romeo Miller’s Fighting Monsters is scheduled for release on January 7. Growing Up Hip Hop premieres January 7 at 10 PM on We tv. Master P’s Family Empire airs Saturdays at 8 PM on Reelz.
With another home intruder popping up at his doorstep, we could only assume that Chris isn’t going to be in the best of spirits today. After he took to Twitter to let out some emotions I’d say it’s safe to move from assumptions to sympathy because Brown is definitely not having a good day.
The “Little More” singer started posting tweet after tweet calling out to his true fans to support him through the criticism and demanding his deserved respect as an artist. See the tweets below:
TEAM BREEZY! I'm counting on you all to change the world. I appreciate the real fans.
Could this have something to do with Complex calling his new album Royalty a “directionless mess” yesterday? If so, no worries Breezy, your fans are in your corner!
ILoveMakonnen was been a huge break out artist in 2014 thanks to a collab with the 6ix God himself Drake on their infectious joint, “Tuesday.” With the recent release of his EP ILOVEMAKONNEN 2 and the impending drop of his upcoming studio album, the Atlanta artist is preparing for a whole new world of success.
In a recent interview with Papermag, Makonnen opened up about how he feels about the state of the music industry, the mentality of other artists and this generation along with where exactly he gets his inspiration from. Most importantly, he also let out a little gem that he has recently wrapped up in the studio with Kanye West, David Guetta and the legendary Rick Rubin.
With production like that this new project is bound to be a work of magic.
Its been an epic year for Kendrick. While his music was the soundtrack for protest amidst a wave of hate crimes by police against minorities, he’s still not done putting on for the youth. After being recognized by the Grammy’s for 11 nominations this year, Kendrick celebrates the nominations in a new video. Yes, this year is a far cry from losing to Macklemore last year in controversial fashion last year, but at the end of the day, its not even about that. This is about the “Hard Work” that Kendrick put in to get there and inspiring others to strive to do the same. Check it out below:
Dave East flips the Weeknd’s banger, “Tell Your Friends,” for another one of his banger freestyles and remixes. This time the remix is that rapid fire street story, that only the coldest could spit. This Harlem native is slowly working his way to the top. Nice choice for an instrumental though.

Meek Mill has had a rough year, but it’s nice to see he still has some die hard fans out there. A Meek fan went in on Drake yesterday at the Clippers game. The fan got Drake’s attention for a few seconds when he told Drake,
“Drake you aint Meek Mill.”
The fan went on chanting,
“Meek Mill.. Meek Mill!”
Do you think this was a cry out for some attention or was the fan really riding hard for Meek?

OH SNAP! Reparations are usually what Black people want from America for all that free labor during slavery. But, it seems like Safaree, Nicki’s ex, wants a piece of the pie! SCAFF BREEZY reportedly wants to get paid for the work he did on three of Nicki’s albums — The Pink Print, Pink Friday and Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.
Apparently, he says he helped write other songs like “Only” featuring Chris Brown, Drake and Lil Wayne, “Flawless (Remix)” with Beyonce and “Feeling Myself” with Beyonce, according to TMZ.
Now, when he takes it to your chest, he takes it to your chest! He’s apparently got a “boatload” of evidence to support his claims that he helped write for Nicki. he says he’s got voice memos, videos, studio footage and many witnesses to support his claims. Lastly, he says that being executive producer of the first two albums ads more validity to what he wants.
We’re told Safaree will present a boatload of proof he was super involved in Nicki’s work. His evidence includes videos of him working with Nicki, voice memos from recording sessions, hours of footage from studio sessions. He says he also has multiple witnesses to validate his contribution.
Rita Ora made headlines recently when news broke that she wanted to get out of her contract with Roc Nation and that she was filing a lawsuit against the label. Rumor has it that Rita wants to leave Roc Nation because Rihanna is using her power to keep Rita’s career from progressing. With Rihanna being Roc Nation “royalty” she allegedly gets first picks on songs, even though Rita hasn’t put out much since 2012. It has also been said that Roc Nation has been becoming a revolving door of executives, and all that were in Rita’s corner at the label either left or moved on to other activities. Do you think Roc Nation is holding Rita back?
A rumor hit the net and spread quickly that OG Maco had allegedly contracted the HIV virus. OG Maco says the rumors are completely false. It has been said that OG Maco’s current girlfriend and ex-girlfriend also allegedly have HIV. A woman named LaLa was said to have released alleged audio of OG Maco admitting that he is sick. In a series of text messages a woman claims that the CEO of his label allegedly knew a while ago and felt they had to keep it a secret so they paid extra money to get him the medication he needed.

“Despite the vicious rumors, I am in fine health and have no degenerative or deadly diseases…. we are unmoved and will not falter in the face such cowardly and underhanded tactics.”

“If you’re gonna pay me to be fake I at least need a big check; or, something,” says the outspoken Kat Stacks. Soon, within this exclusive interview, the infamous social media star goes on to talk in detail about how producers for VH1’s popular reality show, Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta, allegedly contacted her about appearing on the hit-series. AllHipHop’s own, Steve Raze, was instrumental in connecting Kat with the producers. “I was approached by Love & Hip-Hop in the past.”
The incentive of selling countless copies of her book, Becoming Kat Stacks, and perhaps receiving numerous future bookings was not enough. Kat refused to appear on the show without being financially compensated.
Watch first hand and find out how she claims producers for the docuseries “encouraged” her to behave.
A 27-year old woman made it onto the singer’s property around 5 pm Tuesday evening, according to reports. The woman waited for somebody to exit the Woodland Hills house and then she entered through the gate.
Chris Brown’s security caught the woman and demanded that she leave. Police were called when she refused and they arrested her for trespassing.
Brown has had some previous experiences similar to this, but not as dramatic. His aunt was held at gunpoint and the assailants took $50,000. Another woman was found inside the singer’s home naked.
Chief Keef’s label has sued the rapper’s manager Idris “Peeda Pan” Abdul Wahid and several of his producers like Zaytoven and Metro Boomin, charging that they released two projects were released without authorization.
FilmOn, Keef’s label, says that the release of Finally Rollin 2 and Nobody 2, cost the company $1 million.
The suit says, “Since May 2015, Chief Keef has breached the Agreement by arbitrarily and capriciously recording, writing, selling merchandise and performing outside of the Agreement.”
Chief Keef is not named in the lawsuit, because the company believes he has been mismanaged.
“We believe Keef has once again mislead by his management,” FilmOn founder Alki David told Billboard. “We have filed a lawsuit against his management company plus all the vendors and producers who have knowingly interfered with his 360 Recording Contract with FilmOn Music.”
There is a new musical movement rising from the city of Atlanta. The past two years saw the explosion of rapper K Camp with hits such as “Money Baby,” “Cut Her Off,” and “Comfortable,” and the 2015 XXL Freshman is bringing his SlumLords crew along with him as he infiltrates radio dials nationwide.
One of those Slum representatives is R&B vocalist Damar Jackson. The Louisiana born singer-songwriter worked on Camp’s Gold certified “Comfortable” along with producer Big Fruit. The saxophone player/drummer appears on the One Way cut “Stack Of Ones” as well.
Jackson has also released his own tracks such as the Baby Boy sampling “Crazy” which has already totaled over 50,000 plays on Soundcloud. In addition, his catalog includes the Joker Too Cold collaboration “Shoot Up The Club” and a remix of Johnny Cinco’s “Understand Me.”
The self-described “lab rat” has logged in countless hours in the studio creating new tunes, and Damar is planning to start off 2016 with a solo EP. Following that, listeners can look to Jackson, K Camp, Big Fruit, Joker Too Cold, Sy Ari Da Kid, DJ Genius, and the rest of the SlumLords to continue their run of taking over the ATL and beyond.
In an exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com, Damar Jackson discusses working with Camp and longtime production partner Big Fruit. Louisianans’ current run in R&B and the DeRidder native’s future moves are also part of the conversation. Get familiar with the up-and-coming FTE recording artist.
I grew up in DeRidder, Louisiana. It’s a small town by Lake Charles off of I-10. New Orleans is a city everybody knows about in Louisiana, but I’m from a different part. It’s a whole different side of the Earth even though it’s the same state.
We got the same lingo, but we got Zydeco music which is a French Creole, Cajun sound mixed with Blues. New Orleans has Bounce music. I was heavily influenced by a lot of stuff.
Louisiana is a state full of music. I was raised in it. Some of my best friends were gangstas, but they were in the band growing up. That’s just how we live.
You have instrumental experience. How does having that background impact you as a singer?
It impacts me a lot. I produce a lot of records for Camp with my production partner Big Fruit. It helps me on the production side to understand placement sonically. We’re trying to out work other people by out thinking them, seeing what makes people feel a certain type of way melody wise and being able to understand how I can make people feel some type of way emotionally.
On the artist side, now I know what to sing as far as tone and how to relay that. It works out perfectly, similarly to a string instrument or playing a horn.
Damar Jackson + Big Fruit
Do you also write for other artists?
I actually do. I wrote the hook on Nyemiah Supreme’s “No Questions.” I wrote “What It Takes Like?” for Nyemiah Supreme too. I’m on the end of [K Camp’s] “Marilyn Monroe.” We’ve been in a lot of sessions for other artists – me, Camp, and Big Fruit. We’ve been writing for a lot of people, but none of the records have come out.
How did you first connect with Camp?
I connected with Camp in 2010. We’ve been rocking ever since. I met Camp through a mutual friend Donald. Donald was always with me, J.R. – my CEO – and Fruit. We all lived in a house downtown, and he’d see me working in the studio. He would say, “You really gotta holla at my boy Camp. He’s really about to pop. I know y’all could make some crazy music.”
I’m in Club Miami by myself, and Camp walks up to me. He says, “Bro, my dog Donald told me about you. We got to work.” I took his number. After that Donald brought Camp to us. Now we’re signed on the same label FTE. Ever since then we’ve been rocking, before “Money Baby.” Every move, we’re together.
Louisiana R&B has blown up the last few years with Frank Ocean and August Alsina. What are your thoughts about the R&B scene in Louisiana now?
To be honest, around 2010 I moved to Atlanta. But before then, I was the biggest R&B artist in Louisiana. August was staying in Houston, and I don’t think Frank Ocean was in New Orleans like that. He was in LA. Regardless, they claimed the city, and we needed that.
Right now, I feel like it’s an opportunity, because they helped to open the door for more R&B artists. So I appreciate what they’re doing. Some people are inspired by other people, so I’m just excited for them. I hope they keep it going.
The music scene [in Louisiana] is actually crazy. Before those two, there wasn’t really any R&B artists from Louisiana besides my homeboy Cupid who had the “Cupid Shuffle” record. It did very well. Besides him, you got Luke James. He’s from New Orleans too. Shout out to Luke James.
You have an EP coming. What about releasing a full album or a mixtape?
The EP is going to be seven songs. I’ve been waiting for so long that I have two albums already done. I have to go through my music and see what we’re going to use. We have so much music. Every time me and Camp record, I put something to the side. I feel like it’s about timing.
Do you feel like your single “Crazy” is starting to get a lot of buzz?
It is. I’m surprised. It has taken off on Soundcloud. When I performed it at Campsgiving, people were singing the words. Every now and then, people hit me up and say “they’re playing it here.” I’ve seen the numbers, but I also feel the energy when I perform it. I’m going to continue to push it, because every time I perform it people never forget it. I got to keep working the record, because I believe in it.
I think that may be because the content of the song is relatable for men and women. A lot of people have been in that type of relationship.
I relate my music to real life. That’s why I had to get rid of my YouTube, because I didn’t tell people who I really am. I was just doing these covers that don’t really tell who Damar is. I’m really a funny guy from a small town in Louisiana.
I don’t want to manipulate people to think this is how R&B is supposed to be. You can be whoever you want to be. If I want to curse in my song, say my girl’s crazy and she got some good… whatever – that’s how it really is with me. I’m just glad that people are rocking with it.
(AllHipHop News) DMV rapper Shy Glizzy has yet to publicly comment about his chain allegedly getting snatched during a recent trip to Memphis. However, KollegeKidd is reporting Memphis legend Yo Gotti has now stepped up to pay to get his “Money Problems” collaborator’s jewelry back. A supposed conversation between a group known as the Memphis Cartel and Gotti’s CMG affiliate Blac Youngsta has leaked online.
“What’s up with Gotti talking bout he put $35,000 on my little brother head?” someone can be heard saying in the video. “Bruh said he got 35 bands for whoever get the chain. He don’t care how they get it.”
Glizzy reportedly got jumped and robbed during a Saturday night show at a Memphis venue. A local rapper named Big Mota posted a video claiming he and his crew took Glizzy’s chain after the 2015 XXL Freshman refused to do a song with them.
The Memphis Cartel clip also includes one of the members saying, “Tell bruh he can drop about $10,000 or we don’t even wanna rap. Don’t even book him down here no more.”
