Is Wale switching sides? Fans couldn’t resist the petty itch once they spotted Drake and Wale together. Fans wanted to know why he was interacting with Drizzy especially after the Meek Mill vs. Drake blow up. What the two of them have in common is not tweeting out Meek Mill’s album and frustrating the Philly rapper about comparisons. Wale wasn’t here for the bs, as he replied to fans saying,
“Have yall seen any blood shed in this feud. Has anybody got physical? Furthermore, it’s a photo with two people who have mutual respect. I think I know what I’m doing. This is NOT a reality show or middle school.”

It look’s like Tyga is ready to make up with Nicki Minaj & Drake. Things had been going sour for a while, and Tyga admitted to not being on good terms with the Young Money/Cash Money label. Earlier this year Nicki Minaj had to clear up the rumor about whether or not Tyga was supposed to appear on “Truffle Butter,” which at the time was the No. 1 urban and rhythmic song in the U.S. Tyga had been ranting all over the place talking about Nicki and Drake were fake and he got removed from “Truffle Butter” when apparently he was NEVER supposed to be on the song. We hadn’t heard much about their relationship lately, but apparently he wants that old thing back as he recently followed Drake and Nicki on Instagram.

Along with Hudson, “The Man” singer Aloe Blacc and legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff are scheduled to perform.

According to the report, nearly 478,000 children – overwhelmingly Black and Hispanic – attend failing schools, while white and Asian students are more likely to attend top-rated schools.

It was initially reported that Breezy would do six shows and earn $50,000 per gig but now that he will be doing 10, he may earn more money for each performance. These shows will serve as a trial run to see if he he can deliver well enough for a possible long-term residency.
Fellow VA native Trey Songz will also be hitting the stage in Vegas and will be rotating performances with Chris.
The 26-year-old just wrapped up the “One Hell Of a Nite” tour with Fetty Wap, Omarion, Teyana Taylor and Kid Ink. Brown was trying to get into Australia to perform but it was confirmed that he has been banned from entering the continent because of his 2009 assault case regarding Rihanna.

Fetty was supposed to begin touring next week. No word on the rescheduling on any of those dates yet.
Rumors have been swirling for weeks now that actress Sanaa Lathan is dating rapper French Montana. The rumor may be true as Sanaa was spotted wearing French’s chain. Although we aren’t sure how and why, French has an impressive dating history. Fans haven’t been so nice to Sanaa on social media. They have been roasting her for allegedly dating Montana. Some have even said the “h*e phase” is vital because she is a Yale and University of California graduate dating barely 30-year-old rappers.
Drake and Meek Mill’s bad blood has been the talk of the town and it’s not looking like it’s going to die down anytime soon. No new diss tracks are not expected, but as they both still take shots at each other the hip-hop masses are sitting back and enjoying the t##-for-tat. AllHipHop CEO Chuck Creekmur recently caught up with The Game, who collaborated with them both, and the west coast rep feel like “every moment of it was dope.”
“It could have been lyrical, a little more lyrical,” The “100” rapper said. “But I think it was good for what it was. I thought it was good for the state of hip-hop.”
(AllHipHop News) Remember how rap stars like Jay Z and Young Jeezy shouted out Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign? Could 2016 be the year Kanye West stumps for Republican Ben Carson? Ye already expressed he is impressed by the retired neurosurgeon, and Dr. Carson has now praised West as well.
“As soon as I heard [Ben] Carson speak, I tried for three weeks to get on the phone with him. I was like this is the most brilliant guy,” said Kanye during an interview with Vanity Fair.
Carson appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday. Guest moderator Martha Raddatz asked him about Kanye’s comments.
“I did have an opportunity to talk with him. I was extremely impressed with his business acumen. He knows a lot about business,” stated Carson. “I talked to him about the possibility of maybe himself and some of the other people in pop culture doing some music that might be uplifting, that might give young women a sense of their value and young men a sense of responsibility. I think it could be a tremendous thing in our society.”
West made headlines when he told the audience at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards he is running for president in 2020. The public will have to wait and see if the “Gold Digger” rhymer really jumps in the race in five years, but Carson did not seem opposed to the idea of Kanye running for the highest office in the land.
“I’m certainly willing to give him a chance,” added Carson.
Kanye also told Vanity Fair, “The idea of this separation and this gladiator battle takes away from the main focus that the world needs help and the world needs all the people in a position of power or influence to come together.”
