Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell Is Still Holding A Grudge Against 'Star Wars' Creator George Lucas

(AllHipHop News) Star Wars: The Force Awakens is on pace to become the highest grossing movie of all time. Episode VII of the sci-fi action movie franchise will not be getting any money from Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell’s immediate family.

In an interview with Vulture, the former 2 Live Crew front man revealed he will not be supporting the film. Apparently, Campbell is still upset over a $300 million federal lawsuit filed in 1990 by Star Wars‘ production company Lucasfilm.

“Every time I see a trailer, or an ad, for that movie, all I can think is I want that motherf*cker George Lucas to give me my money back,” said Campbell.

He added, “I tell my kids, don’t ever buy bootleg, but if you really want to watch that movie, you can buy it bootleg.”

Lucasfilm, the company founded by director George Lucas, was concerned Campbell’s then stage name “Luke Skywalker” would damage the reputation of the trademarked name of Star Wars‘ main character “Luke Skywalker” played by Mark Hamill. At the time, Campbell and his group were known for making sexually explicit songs such as “Me So Horny.”

However, Campbell insists he took “Luke Skywalker” from New York Knicks player Kenny “Sky” Walker, and everyone close to him always called him Luke, not Luther. The two sides eventually settled for $300,000. The Miami native was forced to go by simply Luke, later Uncle Luke.

“I respect the fact that people love the movie,” states Campbell. “George Lucas made a helluva movie and a brand. People love it. But he took nearly a half a million dollars from me.”

Jeezy Warns Men About Trying To Catch Him On Snap Chat!

There seems to always be that one friend or one fan that takes social media too far with documenting everything. Jeezy isn’t here for it. If you were ever thinking about catching Jeezy on your Snap Chat story, DON’T! Jeezy recently tweeted,

“Snap chat gone get somebody head knocked off! FYI no grown man should try to snap chat another grown man!! Where they do that @.”

Rumor has it Jeezy isn’t the biggest fan of social media or of cameras. It’s been said that he’s very protective of his image and often times, only his official photographers are allowed to be close enough to him to capture photos of him. Allegedly his security and camp don’t play about capturing images of him, and will make you delete them if they can. What are your thoughts? Should a grown man be Snap Chatting another grown man?

Lil' Wayne Denies Buying Mystery Woman Diamond Ring

Rumor has it that Lil’ Wayne bought one of his alleged side chicks @ErikaFBaby a diamond ring. Erika seems to suggest that she’s pretty much in love with Wayne, and Wayne is returning the love as she shared some “exclusive” pics. The pics she posted suggested that Lil’ Wayne bought her a diamond ring and other jewelry items. The two have allegedly known each other for 10 years. As quick as the rumor and pictures surfaced, Lil’ Wayne took to his Twitter to say,

“I don’t send rings thru the mail people I’m much more romantic than that stop it.”

Erika has seemed to provide some proof that a ring actually was sent to her by what appears to be Lil’ Wayne’s assistant. Rumor has it that Erika doesn’t mind being one of Lil’ Wayne’s chicks either. Allegedly she’s content with him showering her with gifts, and she’s not worried about the other women in his life. All we know is someone is lying about this diamond ring.

Jay Z: I Can Make One Direction's Harry Styles The Biggest Artist In The World

(AllHipHop News) With a musical mentorship record that includes Kanye West, Rihanna, and J. Cole, Jay Z has help turn several artists into platinum selling stars. It appears the Roc Nation boss is setting his eyes on a boy band member from the U.K. as his next protegé.

[ALSO READ: Tech N9ne Talks Jay Z & Rihanna Not Reaching Out To Him (VIDEO)]

In an article with the Daily Star Sunday, Jay is quoted speaking about One Direction’s Harry Styles. The 21-year-old vocalist is already a well known performer around the world (he has 26 million Twitter followers), but the Brooklyn born mogul thinks stepping away from 1D will be an important task.

“Harry doesn’t need any help with exposure; everybody in the world knows who he is,” said Jay. “But he does need to make the transition from being part of a group to becoming an individual artist.”

One Direction announced the group is taking a hiatus. However, Styles has not confirmed whether he will release an album as a solo act. If the England native does decide to release a project, Jay believes he can do a lot to enhance Styles’ career.

“I can get him working with the bigger artists, the biggest producers – and have him as the biggest artist in the world within a year,” added Jay.

Those words are similar to what fellow New York rapper 50 Cent said about Styles’ former One Direction partner Zayn Malik. Last year, 50 expressed interest in working with Zayn and connecting him with top Hip Hop artists.

“If Zayn wants a rap career, just because of who he is, he is going to sell records,” said 50. “But if he wants to be credible he has to be with the right people. I’d happily sign him up to my label, mentor him and have him working with the biggest rappers on the planet.”

Did Naughty By Nature's Treach Take Shots At Kanye West?

Photo via Treach’s Instagram

It may be safe to say that Naughty By Nature’s Treach is not a Kanye West fan. Treach has been posting plenty of material on Tupac suggesting that he is one of the greatest. Treach also took to Twitter to take a poll asking his followers who was their favorite between Kanye and Pac. Allegedly Treach is upset that he heard that Kanye allegedly said Tupac is overrated. The problem is, the rumor allegedly started from one of the millions of gossip sites that post fake stories. Treach even retweeted an article someone wrote about how disappointing Kanye’s “Facts” was, and he retweeted fans saying Pac is better. Based on how close Treach & Pac were, we understand why he rides so hard for Pac.

He also posted this meme on his Twitter page.

Photos via Future’s Instagram Pages

Yesterday, Future took to his Twitter to tell the world that Ciara was making it hard for him to see their son. Sources close to Ciara are denying Future’s claims that he pays $15K for child support. Future tweeted,

“I just want baby future that’s all.”

“I gotta go through lawyers to see babyfuture the f*ckery for 15K a month.”

“This b*tch got control problems.”

Future maintains that he’s been silent for a year, but now he’s fed up. Sources close to Ciara told E! News that Future’s claims simply are untrue, and that the singer is not keeping Future from seeing their son. The source also claims that Future uses the failed relationship controversy to promote his music and stay in the press. The source also claims that Future has never paid $15K in child support, he told Ciara he hopes she fails in everything she does, and that he is unable to move on an co-parent in a healthy manner. Yikes. We hope they get it together for the sake of baby Future!

Lil Wayne & Birdman Reportedly Close To Settling Their Legal Issues

(AllHipHop News) For over a year, Lil Wayne and Birdman were involved in a very public feud that included Twitter rants, lawsuits, drink throwing, disses in songs, and alleged murder conspiracies. The estranged pair, that once referred to themselves as father and son, are reportedly on the verge of settling their differences.

[ALSO READ: Birdman Talks Lil Wayne Wanting To Leave Cash Money & Reports He Tried To Have Wayne Killed (VIDEO)]

It came as a shock to many observers when YMCMB’s Wayne, Birdman, and Drake were all seen together in a photo on New Year’s Eve. According to TMZ, the picture was a sign the Young Money leader and the Cash Money Records co-founder have spoken about reconciling.

YM executive Mack Maine apparently played a role in bringing the two New Orleans natives back together. Maine supposedly set up a phone conversation between Wayne and Birdman before they met face-to-face at they NYE party in Miami.

TMZ reports:

Our sources say both Wayne and Birdman have strong feelings about burying the hatchet. That said, we’re told Wayne will not move to dismiss his lawsuit unless and until they reach an agreement.

As for why they came together, we’re told Mack Maine has a lot of influence, especially with Wayne, and opened his mind to a settlement.

In late 2014, Wayne announced on Twitter that he wanted to leave Cash Money, because the company refused to release his Tha Carter V album. That was followed by the “Glory” rapper filing a $51 million lawsuit against his record label. Birdman later sued Tidal, which Wayne is a part owner, over the streaming service hosting Wayne’s Free Weezy Album.

Is Scott Storch Back On Drugs? Owes A Milli?

Scott Storch.

I don’t know dude. I think that he’s a pretty good dude with a cocky disposition, based on what I have seen. However, that disposition may have gotten him in a space where he is unable to flourish in the modern era. The word on the street is that dude is now back on drugs. Remember, Scott Storch was down with The Roots and later Dr. Dre. He was the man! He even bagged Lil Kim for a minutes join life.

Here is the talk of the day.

It seems like Storch is back on drugs and being sued by two men that say they gave him a million bucks to get his career back on track. Here is what the Hollywood Reporter says:

According to a new lawsuit filed in Florida federal court, there were still some individuals willing to help him out because of his talents.

Brad Cohen and Seth Cohen, who are wealthy through insurance and real estate holdings, say that upon the June bankruptcy, they saw that Storch “was once again ready to prove himself as a worthy record producer and use his deep connections in the music industry to make money for the three of them” so they allegedly entered into a deal with him and put up more than $1 million to fund his comeback.

Plus, states the lawsuit, Storch was provided with a weekly salary, a Rolls-Royce Ghost and a rental house in Parkland, Florida.

The lawsuit claims that Storch is backing away from the relationship and that the music producer “is back to his old ways and is not someone to trust with any monies.”

“In fact, B. Cohen and S. Cohen had an agreement with Storch that B. Cohen and S. Cohen would take the Rolls-Royce Ghost away from Storch if he failed a drug test or it was otherwise discovered by B. Cohen and/or S. Cohen that Storch was using drugs,” states the complaint. “In mid-December 2015, B. Cohen and S. Cohen discovered that Storch was again using drugs and demanded return of the vehicle. The vehicle is in S. Cohen name and S. Cohen did not want it to become an insurance liability. Upon information and belief, the demand that Storch return the vehicle partially led to B. Cohen and S. Cohen falling out of grace with Storch.”

The parties appear to be in dispute over the validity of an operating agreement.

For the record, Storch and his lawyer say the whole thing is bogus. Read it at THR.

Tory Lanez Joins Tasman Holloway On New Track, "On The Way"

Just days after the news of having the number one song in the country, singer/rapper Tory Lanez linked up with DJ Necterr and Washington rapper Tasman Holloway to put out a new track called “On The Way.” Tory’s contribution to the track is less like “Say It” more like his “Diego” flow, but it’s the perfect track to amp you up during your day. Throw in a clean verse by Tasman Holloway with his unique style and stage charisma and you can see why DJ Necterr is so adamant about pushing this track.
