It looks like Drake and Serena Williams are still going strong. Drake was spotted supporting his boo at her NYFW show. Drake also posted a photo of him and Anna Wintour with the caption, “Me and bae.” Serena wasn’t here for it, and even gave 65-years-old Wintour and Drake those emoji hands. We’d have to say this is still awkward.

Apparently Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 2 NYFW show was so bad and awkward, as well as the apparel, that a model couldn’t even wait to light one up. Ye what is this homeless chic, ripped American Apparel mess you are selling for ridiculous prices?
Travi$ Scott has been riding high since the release of his debut album, Rodeo. As he hit the stage at various events to promote the project, Rihanna was often spotted in the background, which sparked dating rumors. They were also spotted together during New York Fashion Week and they even co-starred in the latest Puma ad. There was a subliminal post on RiRi’s Instagram claiming that she was single but when Scott visited ESPN’s Highly Questionable, hosts Dan Le Batard and Bomani Jones couldn’t help but to probe further.
Though he didn’t confirm the rumors, he didn’t deny them either as he nervously laughed and fidgeted as he struggled to answer the question.
Watch his response below.
Former Danity Kane members Aubrey O’Day and Shannon Bex claim Diddy milked them for millions, and all they were left with is a pile of debt. When asked about why they didn’t get rich off of 2 platinum albums, Shannon replied, “We were signed to Diddy.” Well the duo is recording independently now. Maybe they will have success as Dumblonde.
There’s clearly some miscommunication between the camps of T.I and Iggy Azalea. During a sit down on the “Ebro in the Morning” show yesterday (Sept.16), Tip spoke on why he decided to distance himself musically from his mentee Iggy Azalea. Now, it is reported that the “Black Widow” rapper was reportedly caught off guard by those comments and was under the impression that they were still working together.
“She didn’t know there was a problem since T.I. is still collecting publishing checks and acting like everything is normal between them,” said a source close to her.
Tip said he decided to part ways with Iggy after Q-Tip schooled her on hip-hop history 140 characters at a time.
I’m a loyal partner and if I rock with you I’m going to rock with you. If we right, wrong, we’ll discuss that in the car. We going to get out of here right now, though. That’s just how I am. Right now I’m going to block the bullets, now go. Now when I say ‘Go’ [really] go. Don’t stand around and talk while I’m blocking bullets. You slowing me down.”
T.I hasn’t responded yet.

Lil’ Wayne & Christina Milian recently broke up due to not having enough time for each other. However it looks like the short-lived couple isn’t breaking up in every department. Lil’ Wayne will still be helping Christina with her album and its promotion. Supposedly neither party wants to derail her album. This isn’t the first time Christina worked with an ex; The Dream helped her after his cheating scandal.
After the success of the Straight Outta Compton biopic, Universal Studios is looking to create another film regarding the early days of hip-hop. According to Deadline, a biographical film about the rise of Def Jam Records and Russell Simmons may be on the way.
Though nothing is set in stone, it is reported that the movie would be based on Life and Def: Sex, Drugs, Money, + God, a book co-written by Simmons and Nelson George in 2002. Michael B. Jordan could be filling the role of Simmons while Jonah Hill is a possible fill-in for Rick Rubin. The film will reportedly tell the story of the early days of Def Jam and depict how hip-hop grew to become a powerful genre and culture.
In case you didn’t know, T.I has severed professional ties with his protege Iggy Azalea. During a visit to Hot 97’s “Ebro in the Morning” show, he discussed what prompted the musical split.
Tip revealed that he parted ways with the Aussie rapper “after the Q- Tip thing.” He’s referring to the lengthy hip-hop lesson Q-Tip gave Azalea via Twitter after she began getting slammed for cultural appropriation.
“After I kind of had smoothed it over and was like ‘Okay, what was really meant to be said here is’ … Then everything was cool and they kind of came back and undid what I just did,” he said. “I’m a loyal partner and if I rock with you I’m going to rock with you. If we right, wrong, we’ll discuss that in the car. We going to get out of here right now, though. That’s just how I am. Right now I’m going to block the bullets, now go. Now when I say ‘Go’ [really] go. Don’t stand around and talk while I’m blocking bullets. You slowing me down.”
Iggy is reportedly working on her sophomore project, but has remained quiet and out of the spotlight. Her public appearances have been limited and she decided to let her team manage her social media accounts.
T.I is also gearing up for a new release. He dropped Da Nic EP earlier this week and will releasing his tenth studio album, The Dime Trap soon as well.
