Earlier today (Aug. 20), Meek Mill, took to his Instagram account and posted performance footage from his recent appearance in Edmonton, Candada. In conjunction with The Pinkprint Tour, the Philly rapper is currently on the road with his girlfriend, Nicki Minaj, the tour’s headliner.
In recent weeks, a dismal disagreement arose between Meek Mill and Drake. This prompted Drizzy to release the scathing “Back to Back” freestyle where his brazen bars challenged: “Is that a world tour or your girl’s tour / I know you gotta be a thug for her / This ain’t what she meant when she told you to open up more…”
As the social media skirmish between the two artists have fizzled out, Meek used an interesting caption for his IG post writing, “Last night on the #pinkprinttour #aka #mygirltour,” the “I’m A Boss,” rapper then added, “Edmonton Canada! Glad 2 b apart of it!”
In his war of waxed words, is this an instance of Meek Mill subliminally accepting defeat; or, is he continuing to show love to his boo, Nicki Minaj?

“For the NBA LIVE Pro-Am mode, we’ve added seven real-world basketball courts, each of which are iconic to the sport and city they’re located. The new venues add a whole new dimension to the game, because they’re so unique,” Ryan Santos, EA Sports’ Senior Game Developer/Producer, tells AllHipHop.com. “We’ve got indoor and outdoor venues – from Venice Beach to Jordan Brand’s exclusive Terminal 23 – and each bring their own experience and vibe. We even have an all new audio design including dynamic music.”
LIVE Pro Am users can play across LIVE Run, Summer Circuit and the Rising Star career modes. Playing games in any of these modes will earn the player “Skill Points” using NBA Live 16‘s new progression system and “Reward Points” to purchase authentic gear in the LIVE Spot store.
“The Summer Circuit is all about teamwork. Each new spot features teams of legendary NBA players who’ve had historic performances there, and they won’t hold back once the pick-up game starts,” says Santos. “LIVE players have to play to their strengths and use team strategy, or there’s no stopping the superstars.”
Gamers can customize their player with the latest sneakers and clothes from leading apparel brands. NBA LIVE 16 also features a new companion mobile app with GameFaceHD. The exclusive mobile technology allows users to scan their face and upload it into the game.
“We’re really excited about GameFaceHD too. NBA LIVE 16 lets you customize and express your player like never before. Players can use mobile scanning technology to upload their face into the game and customize their character at a whole new level,” Santos adds. “You can get inked by Randy Harris, throw on authentic shoes and gear from brands such as Jordan, and unlock new moves. All of the customization is there to truly express your game.”
The trailer for NBA LIVE 16 Pro-Am hit YouTube on August 13. Avatars of NBA stars Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, and LIVE cover player Russell Westbrook can be seen balling at Hoop Dome, Rucker Park, and other locales.

“It’s always a blast getting to work on the music for NBA LIVE 16. It brings together a lot of my great passions – music, basketball and gaming,” states MICK. “I had a great time developing the mix for this trailer and really think it resonates with what LIVE Pro-Am is all about.”
LIVE Pro-Am starts as a complimentary trial on September 15 via Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. Fans can check out six NBA teams during the exhibition-style play in Tip Off mode, and take part in Learn LIVE tutorials which consist of drills to get familiar with the game and basketball fundamentals.

(AllHipHop News) The Internet went crazy yesterday when Public Policy Polling released a new poll that showed 9% of North Carolina voters were supporting an independent presidential candidate named “Deez Nuts.” The results became a trending topic on Twitter, and local news stations were forced to report about Deez Nuts live on the air.
Deez Nuts filed an official statement of candidacy with the FEC on July 26. The Daily Beast attempted to find out who was this unknown person pulling in nearly a tenth of the electorate in the Tar Heel state. Apparently, Deez Nuts is 15-year-old Brady Olson from Wallingford, Iowa.
“When I heard about the Limberbutt McCubbins story, I realized I could,” said Olson. McCubbins is a Kentucky cat running as a Democrat.
Obviously, Olson can not be President of the United States, because citizens have to be at least 35 to seek the office. That fact is not stopping the high school sophomore from playing along with the candidacy of Mr. Nuts.
“The next step is to get some party nominations, like the Minnesota Independence Party or the Modern Whig Party,” Olson says. “It would also be great to find a VP, preferably McCubbins, because the Nuts/McCubbins ticket sounds amazing.”
The phrase “deez nuts” was popularized by the Dr. Dre song “Deeez Nuuuts” from the producer’s 1992 album The Chronic. “Deez Nuts” re-entered the pop culture zeitgeist with the success of a viral video by Welven Da Great.
Watch WJLA’s report on the PPP poll about Deez Nuts below.
