Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Mariah Carey Headed To Rehab?

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are in the forefront of the media mess since their divorce has seemingly fizzled. Nobody know why, but there are rumors coming out. Sorry, Nick. The word on the street is that Mariah may be headed to rehab for alcohol abuse. She is reportedly going down a similar path as our beloved Whitney Houston. We are going to have to say a collective prayer for Mariah from what I’ve heard. Nobody can get a word in because she is totally insulated with people sucking her dry – just for the money. This bout with alcohol had also affected her ability to sing those high notes too, from what I am hearing. Mariah is a “functioning” drunk, they say. If this is the case, it is not new. There are a lot of people that have addictions that they are able to live with. BLESS HER!

Drake Beats The Beatles' Billboard Hot 100 Record

Someone please cue the horns. It’s definitely trophieSZN for Drake.

The Canadian rapper made history when he surpassed one of the greatest bands of all time, The Beatles, with his amount of Billboard Hot 100 singles. His recent feature on his newest artist, iLoveMakonnen’s track, Tuesday counted as Drizzy’s 72nd notch in his designer belt. The Beatles fell short at 71.

Drake has always been a rapper who has never had a problem standing alone. With his new attained title, standing strong at number eight for the most entries, he now shares the throne with greats; those that came before him and as well as his peers. Young Money leader and mentor to Drizzy, Lil Wayne, holds the highest amount as a rapper at an impressive 122 entries. The rapper to hold the second highest amount is Jay-Z at 82. However, no one has been able to compete with the hit TV show, Glee, holding it down at 207 entries.

Although Drake still falls behind trailblazers like Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Ray Charles, and Elvis, with due time, we’re sure that his numbers will keep climbing.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Jay Z and Beyonce Dropping A Documentary?


Tour life must be exciting! Its so exciting that Jay Z is rumored to be creating a documentary on the “On The Run” tour. The documentary will serve two purposes, according to the rumors. 1) It will look to dispel the rumors that they are getting a divorce and 2) Show the world how hard they work behind the scenes. There is a third. 3) Rumor has it, Jay Z will be directing the movie himself. I am not sure I personally want to see this. I would rather I get a new Jay Z album instead! But…

“That ain’t none of my business.”

Usher Visits The Breakfast Club

Usher sat down with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club to chop it up about his upcoming album, UR, and the UR Experience tour that kicks off Nov. 1st.

Ush touched on why he saw it fit to bring August Alsina on the road after August asked to go on the road with him.

“It’s offering that window and offering that opportunity. I’m still keeping with that. It’s what Janet Jackson did for me. It’s what Mary J. Blige did for me. It’s what Puff, P. Diddy & The Family did for me. So I’m doing the same thing.”

Mr. Raymond also said this tour is not just about his upcoming album and will serve as a celebration of his 20-year-career.

“I wanna bring everybody in one room and celebrate. And I’ll probably be finished with it while I’m on tour and just start introducing certain records.”

Peep the interview below.

Ferguson demonstrators have taken their protests from the streets to the symphony.

Over the weekend (Oct.4), peaceful protesters interrupted a performance at the St. Louis Symphony to sing a tune of their own in honor of the late 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was killed Aug. 9th by police officer Darren Wilson. A group of 50 musical protesters were scattered throughout the audience and surprised  unknowing concertgoers as they gradually stood to their feet to sing a Brahms Requiem entitled “Requiem for Mike Brown.”

The mixed group of demonstrators sang “Justice for Mike Brown is Justice for us all/Which side are you on friend?/Which side are you on?

As they rose to their feet, banners hung from the balconies that read “Racism Lives Here,” Rise up and join the movement” and “Requiem for Mike Brown.” Watch the video below.

NFL Players Prevented From Wearing Beats By Dre Headphones On Camera

Audio company Bose now has an endorsement deal with the NFL, which is not so good news for Beats By Dre.

Now that Bose has secured their deal with the league, the players cannot flaunt their beloved Beats By Dre headphones, on camera that is. Recode.net reports that under the terms of their agreement, Bose has the right to ban the players and coaches from wearing any other manufacturer’s headphones during televised interviews on game day,during practice or training camp. That means the days of players having their Beats By Dre’s hugging their neck comfortably as they chat with reporters during pre or post game interview or walk into the locker room are no more.

The NFL released a statement showing that they are standing behind the agreement.

“The NFL has longstanding policies that prohibit branded exposure on-field or during interviews unless authorized by the league. These policies date back to the early 1990s and continue today,” an NFL spokesperson said in a statement. “They are the NFL’s policies – not one of the league’s sponsors, Bose in this case.  Bose is not involved in the enforcement of our policies. This is true for others on-field.”

Beats By Dre also released a statement saying:

Beats issued a statement saying that its headphones have become part of the pre-game preparations for professional athletes like Kaepernick.

“Over the last few years athletes have written Beats into their DNA as part of the pre-game ritual,”said a Beats spokesperson. “Music can have a significant positive effect on an athlete’s focus and mental preparedness and has become as important to performance as any other piece of equipment.”

 

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Drake Put A Hit Out On A Stripper?

Drake loves them strippers, he’s never made a secret of that, but according to MediaTakeout this time around, he may have fallen for the wrong one.

A popular Houston stripper by the name of Jhonni Blaze (you know the one who reportedly had a miscarriage onstage during one of her sets) is claiming to be knocked up my the ‘Take Care’ rapper, and now he’s sent them goons after that a**.

MediaTakout reports:

“So here’s what happened. According to Jhonni, Drake and Jhonni have been messing around for the past 3 months. Jhonni claims it was MORE THAN JUST a jumpoff-type relationship, she says the two of them had “feelings” for each other. For example, Drake spent an entire week together, where they made MUSIC together, and spent every night in each others arms. She really believed that she was “special” to Drake.

The two of them had sex – A LOT OF SEX, and it was all UNPROTECTED. Jhonni told MediaTakeOut.com, “I asked him why he messed with me with no condom, what if I get pregnant. He said ‘I’m not worried about that, I just want to give you the best of me’. He wanted to feel all of me. He ate me out. He kissed me. He’s a loving sexual person.”

The two have had RELATIONS on his last TWO visits to Houston (where she danced at V Live). Jhonni explains, “I know it’s dumb, but I really believed that Drake and I were meant for each other.”

Of course, when Jhonni learned that Drake MOVED ANOTHER Houston stripper named Lira Galore INTO HIS TORONTO HOME – she went ballistic. You see, Lira and Jhonni were good friends. Jhonni told MediaTakeOut.com, “I tried calling Drake, texting him, asking him what happened, but he CURVED me.”

But Jhonni is no DUMMY – she had an INSURANCE POLICY. You see, whenever the two had RELATIONS . . . Drake would FINISH IN HER MOUTH. Well, Jhonni saved ALL OF DRAKE’S DNA . . . and she allegedly USED IT ON HERSELF. She now believes that she’s PREGNANT with Drake’s child.

But here’s where things get CRAZY. Jhonni claims that when Drake found out what she was up to . . . he threatened her, and eventually SENT GOONS TO HER JOB AND HER HOME. Jhonni claims that the thugs came to her job – and when then found out that she WASN’T THERE – they left a THREAT WITH HER co-worker. Then the next day came to her home and BROKE DOWN HER DOOR and threatened her life.

She was so scared that she FILED A POLICE REPORT IN HOUSTON. Jhonni told us that Drake is now WANTED FOR QUESTIONING in Houston.”

SMH. Don’t kno wis this one is believable or not, but Drake does have a tendency of falling for…well…I’ll just say the wrong ones.

 

Hip-Hop Rumors: Nick Cannon Covers Up Mariah Tattoo!

I have been rooting for Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey, but it looks lil its a full-fledged wrap for them. I didn’t even know Nick was a DJ, but he’s a DJ and he DJ’d shirtless the other day. Well, when he did that, somebody took a video and revealed that he has covered up his “Mariah” tat that spanned his back. When he was spinning, apparently Amber Rose was there too. They have totally debunked the notion that there’s something between them though.
