(AllHipHop News) Snoop Dogg is a serious sports fan, and the California native has always repped hard for his Los Angeles Lakers. It was a down season for the franchise, while the other L.A. team is still competing for a championship. Has Snoop switched his allegiance to ride with the Clippers? The Bush album creator spoke about both teams during a game of “Puff or Pass” with Power 106.
“I got a lot of friends on [The Clippers] that I really got love for. And I learned how to love my friends regardless what team they play for,” Snoop admitted. “And the Lakers sucked so bad this year.”
Snoop has not completely abandoned his favorite team just yet. The West Coast rapper told The Cruz Show hosts he attended a Clippers game purposely wearing a purple suit, the Lakers color. But Snoop also supports Chris Paul and company because they represent L.A. and because of the turmoil the team went through last year over then owner Donald Sterling’s racially insensitive comments.
Watch Snoop Dogg’s interview below.
(AllHipHop News) Female rapper Khia has gotten more press in the last two weeks then she has gotten in the last ten years. First she had Beyoncé’s “Bey Hive” buzzing when she suggested the “Drunk In Love” singer was inspired by her style. Khia then became mainstream news fodder when video footage of pop star Miley Cyrus covering her raunchy 2002 hit “My Neck, My Back (Lick It)” went viral.
TMZ caught up with Khia to get her thoughts on Miley’s rendition of the single from the Tampa native’s debut album Thug Misses. The website reports:
Khia tells us she thought Miley’s version was bomb because she’s “probably the only white girl on the planet that can twerk and talk about getting her p*ssy licked that it’s acceptable and it be true like my song.”
Will the former Disney star and the self-described Gangstress collaborate on music in the future? Khia hopes so. She wants M.C. on her new track “Yum Yum Sauce.” Khia previously remixed Miley’s Top 5 song “We Can’t Stop.”

King is best known for his songs “3 O’Clock Blues,” “You Know I Love You,” “Every Day I Have The Blues,” “Sweet Little Angel,” and others. He was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1980 and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

(AllHipHop News) Hip Hop group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have made songs with Eazy-E, The Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, Mariah Carey, The Game, and others. But there is one performer that is still on their bucket list of collaborators – Lil Wayne. The Cleveland representatives revealed they want to work with Wayne during an interview with BET.
“We have to give a big shout out to Lil Wayne. He’s killing’ it right now. I listen to him so much and every time we turn around he’s figuring out a way to flip Bone Thugs in his poetry,” said Flesh.
“On that note, Lil Wayne, we’re waiting, n*gga let’s get in the studio. Let’s do it n*gga. We f*ck with you,” added Wish.
The crew was also asked about the forthcoming N.W.A movie Straight Outta Compton which will feature their mentor Eazy-E. The Bone members expressed different opinions about how the late rapper will be represented in the film.
“I don’t think you should ever have a drama movie with actors playing you. I think you should always do a documentary because it sustains the brand and then you don’t have people acting like you that can’t really capture who you are because actors can’t capture who you are,” said Krayzie. “And in Hollywood they’re always gonna bump it up, so a documentary about your life is always gonna be more potent than a f*ckin’ movie.”
“In my opinion any visual that can keep up the legacy that started this real hip hop sh*t is a good thing, ’cause the kids of today need to know where this sh*t really started,” stated Wish.

The news broke last August when Mook posted pictures of Drake supposedly issuing the challenge. Since that time Mook has called out Drizzy at the BET Hip Hop Awards and in a verse over the “6 God” beat. Mook even claimed he wanted $15 million to set-up the match.
The two met face-to-face again at King Of The Dot’s “Blackout 5” event where an impromptu battle almost broke out. At URL’s recent “Nome 5” showcase, Drake was asked in front of Mook again about the highly anticipated face-off.
“You gotta beat [Tsu] Surf first before you come see me,” Drake told Mook about possibly battling in the future.
URL host Smack then asked the OVO boss if he would finally take on Mook if the Dot Mobb leader defeats Surf at the upcoming “Summer Madness 5” event. Drake replied, “We can negotiate. We can talk about it.”
“I feel like we go can right now though,” responded Mook. “I will murder this n*gga if he ever wants to get on this stage. He knows that.”

Allegedly Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are expecting their second child. According to OK! Magazine after shelling out $230,000 for IVF treatments, Kim Kardashian is finally knocked up with baby #2. With this rumor swirling it has also been said that KimYe are trying to be hush-hush about the news right now.
An inside source told the magazine:
“She’s pregnant. I’ve heard that she’s passed the 12-week point, but that she and Kanye aren’t going to confirm it for at least a few more weeks. She’s really nervous about jinxing it, with everything they’ve been through.”
“To say that he’s happy that she’s carrying a boy is an understatement. One of each is perfect for them. Chances are, having gone through so much to conceive this baby, it will be their last…they aren’t really talking about what’s next. All they can do right now is make sure that this baby is being taken care of.”
Kimmy has been pushing this struggle pregnancy storyline hard on the show, so maybe it’s true.

It seems that bullet fragments left in Suge Knight’s head from the Tupac shooting 19 years ago, are making it hard to determine the cause of Knight’s illness. Knight has complained about impaired vision and loss of sight. He has even collapsed in court a few times. The doctors seem to believe that Suge is having these problems, but the bullet fragments are interfering with the doc’s ability to perform a MRI. Apparently, Suge is refusing to have surgery to remove the fragments as he believes the surgery could go wrong, and he could end up dead.
