Chris Brown Explains Why He Squashed Beef With Drake (VIDEO)

Brown spoke with MTV’s Sway about squashing his beef with Drake. The “Loyal” singer explained why it was time to move on from the drama.
“Especially after getting out of jail, going through whatever I was going through, I didn’t have any animosity towards anybody,” said Brown. “I’m just focused on me and what I was doing.”
After several reported fights and the attack on then girlfriend Rihanna, Brown is looking to change his behavior and his image.
“I’m 25. I’m not getting no younger,” he adds. “You can’t walk around holding grudges, looking over your shoulder, and being negative all the time. I’m tired of being looked at as the aggressor. For me, I just wanted to show my maturity.”
Chris Brown’s X is scheduled for release September 16th.

Lecrae Talks His Faith, His Music, & Ma$e Making Secular Records (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) Don’t call Lecrae a Christian rapper. He is a Christian who raps. The 34-year-old Houston native is open to talk about both of those aspects of his life, and he did so in an interview with The Breakfast Club.

“My faith informs my music,” said Lecrae. “The same way there’d be no Civil Rights Movement without Martin Luther King leading the charge, but his faith informed his movement. That’s really just how I look at it.”
The creator of the recently released Anomaly album was asked about Ma$e’s conversion from secular rapper to pastor back to secular rapper. Lecrae’s opinion is that all people should be steady in their beliefs and practices.
“I’m about being consistent. And that’s for anybody. It’s not just for Mase or whoever,” he explains. “You don’t want to create confusion. Where do you stand? What side of the fence are you playing here? That’s really what I’m trying to do in a lot of ways is show people you can still hold on to your faith, your core values, and beliefs and make music that is not necessarily explicitly ‘let’s walk through Jonah’ without being contrary to what you believe.”
Lecrae’s latest LP is projected to sell 75,000 – 80,000 copies in its first week. His previous album Gravity debuted in top 3 on the Billboard album chart and won the Grammy for Best Gospel Album.

Iggy Azalea Reps Say Alleged Sex Tape Could Be Hers
(AllHipHop News) Breakout star Iggy Azalea could be joining Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, and Mimi Faust on the list of released celebrity sex tapes if Vivid Entertainment gets their way. According to TMZ, the p### company was approached about possibly buying erotic footage of the “Fancy” rapper.

After first denying that any sex tape with Iggy existed, her lawyers are now claiming if there is a tape it was most likely filmed when the Australian native was underage and without her consent. The attorneys also state the possible sex tape would have only been available to a “spurned business suitor” which TMZ is calling an ex-boyfriend.
Vivid apparently reached out to Iggy’s team about releasing the tape. The company cannot legally produce the video without her approval.
Vivid founder Steven Hirsch suggests Iggy could make millions of dollars off the release of the sex tape. Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star Mimi stated recently that she will see revenue from her Vivid p### tape for the rest of her life. Ray J is reportedly still making thousands of dollars a month off his tape with Kim K.

(AllHipHop News) Color coordination almost had Nicki Minaj full frontal. During her recent interview on The Ellen Degeneres Show, the Young Money rapper explains what caused her near wardrobe malfunction at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards.
On August 24th, Nicki Minaj almost sent viewers of the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards back to Super Bowl XXXVIII as she clung to a black dress while performing “Bang Bang” with Ariana Grande and Jessie J. Minaj explained to Degeneres she changed her original outfit backstage at the last second to match the black and white theme Jessie J and Ariana Grande displayed. Before stating that rushed wardrobe change led to her being “butt a*s naked” under the black dress, Minaj explains:
It was pitch black, I couldn’t see anything and right before it was time for me to walk out they went to zip it up and … nothing. And right there I thought I died.

Stevie Wonder: Ferguson Mayor Is Blind If He Doesn't See Racial Tension
(AllHipHop News) Stevie Wonder sees exactly what is up. During a recent interview, Wonder bemoaned about the Ferguson mayor’s oversight of the city in the wake of the Mike Brown shooting.
In late August, Ferguson Mayor James Knowles stated “there’s not a racial divide in the city of Ferguson” in an MSNBC interview. Wonder questioned if the mayor was seeing straight:
I don’t know if the mayor has blinders on. But to say that he didn’t know that there was a racial or cultural problem in the city is unfortunat
Wonder is set to embark on the “Songs In The Key Of Life Performance” tour where he will perform the entire Songs in The Key of Life album. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Wonder explained that the set list will not mirror the original tracklist:
The only difference to the actual layout of Songs in the Key of Life is, as opposed to ending with the songs ‘All Day Sucker’ and ‘My Mama’s Call,’ I’m going to end it with ‘Another Star,’ because I feel that song is the right one to do. Now, we’re going to put the other two songs that were on the EP in the presentation as well, so they’ll be probably the first two extra songs after the first part of Songs in the Key of Life, which are ‘Saturn’ and ‘Ebony Eyes’
He’ll also performing new songs from his upcoming album Through The Eyes Of Wonder.
