Nas Is Not A Donald Trump Fan!

Nas certainly isn’t a Donald Trump fan. The rapper took to Instagram with a meme featuring the VERY controversial Republican candidate. The meme showed Trump’s face on the wall behind a mouth-shaped u#####, with the caption

“One of the best pieces of art I’ve ever seen.”

After sharing the post, Nas later deleted the photo, but of course many had already reposted the post and shared the screenshot.

Trump upset many again when he retweeted inaccurate statistics in regards to crime in America. Many were upset about the disproportionate figures on black-on-black violence. Sighs, and Trump truly believes he has many African American supporters. Good luck Trump.

Kobe Bryant Will Retire From NBA After 2015-2016 Season

For the past few seasons, Kobe Bryant has been sidelined with a slew of injuries. He has missed 123 games in the past two years due to his injuries, but he always pushed through and made his way back to the court to play with his LA Lakers teammates. But now, Bryant has decided to hang it up. The Black Mamba has announced that he will retire after the 2015-2016 season.

The  37-year-old released a statement, which is a poem titled “Dear Basketball,” to The Players’ Tribune to reveal the news.

“I can’t love you obsessively for much longer. This season is all I have left to give,” he wrote.

Bryant was drafted in 1996 and has won five NBA championships, two Olympic gold medals and has been selected for the NBA All-Star game 17 times. He has scored more than 32,000 points during his career.

Read his “Dear Basketball” poem below.

You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream
And I’ll always love you for it.
But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.
This season is all I have left to give.
My heart can take the pounding
My mind can handle the grind
But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.

And that’s OK.
I’m ready to let you go.
I want you to know now
So we both can savor every moment we have left together.
The good and the bad.
We have given each other
All that we have.

Was It Cocaine On Rick Ross’ Countertop?

Photo via Rick Ross’ Instagram

There was a rumor swirling that Rick Ross forgot to clean up some cocaine residue on one of his countertops. DJ Sam Sneak put a video on Snap Chat to clear up the rumor of him doing coke. The video was supposed to explain that it was the marble that everyone was seeing, not drugs.

Is it obvious with the second video that it’s just the marble, or is this just a good cover up?

“I originally had 26 songs for the album.

Charron Addresses Getting Slapped By K-Shine During Rap Battle

(AllHipHop News) Battle rap is supposed to be a contest of words and performances, but sometimes things get physical during the lyrical bouts. The latest violent incident happened over the weekend between K-Shine and Charron during a 2-on-2 battle at Don’t Flop’s “First Anniversary” event in Atlanta.

During the third round, Charron and his partner 100 Bulletz reenacted Slim Jesus’ “Drill Time” video which included pointing a cap gun at Shine. Apparently, Shine thought Charron was firing a BB gun at him, and the NWX member responded by hitting the prop out of Charron’s hand. Charron then knocked Shine’s hat off his head. That led to Shine smacking Charron across the face.

Charron has responded to the incident in a series of tweets. According to the Canadian rhymer, the two battlers spoke and settled their issues. He also claimed a photo of his face with a large hand print on it was photoshopped.
