Floyd Mayweather Jr. Says "Hip Hop Artists, They Come And Go", 50 Cent Reponds (VIDEOS)

By: Keith Nelson Jr (@JusAire)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Floyd Mayweather Jr. has engaged in more feuds with rappers than actual rappers in 2014. During a recent interview, the world’s highest paid athlete compares his relevancy to rappers such as T.I., 50 Cent and Nelly.

Since T.I. and Floyd Mayweather Jr. physical altercation in Las Vegas during Memorial Day weekend, the two have exchanged disparaging remarks centered around an alleged relationship between Mayweather and T.I.’s wife, Tiny.

During that time, Mayweather Jr engaged in a back-and-forth spat with Nelly stemming from Nelly dating Mayweather’s former fianceé Shantel Jackson. As usual, 50 Cent has provided numerous video commentary on his personal Instagram about both incidents, all of which has led Mayweather Jr to a realization about his own relevancy:

What’s so crazy is this: You know, when people are not relevant, and they’re not moving units like they were once moving … you’ve got to realize, I’ve been relevant for 18 years.

Mayweather later states “hip-hop artists, they come and go” and separates himself from Hip Hop artists by reiterating his bankability. Mayweather’s September 2013 fight with Canelo Alvarez broke the record for highest PPV revenue in the sport’s history at $150 million.

50 Cent took exception to the news and released a few videos on his personal Instagram account. In one of the videos, 50 alleges that Nelly slept with Melissa Brim, the mother of Floyd Mayweather Jr’s daughter, Ayanna.

By: KubeezzCategory: Rumors

There still hasn’t been an official statement yet on the status of these two, but unofficially its looking like they’re done. From the sounds of things Future couldn’t commit to being completely faithful just yet.

US Weekly reports:

“Ciara left her rapper fiance Future, after she learned that her baby daddy was cheating on her with his wardrobe consultant, Tyrina Lee, an insider reveals to Us Weekly.

As Us broke the news last week, the “I’m Out” singer, 28, called it quits with Future just three months after welcoming their newborn son, Future Zahir Wilburn. According to the insider, Ciara learned of her man’s infidelity through the rumor mill, too.

“She found out about the affair through multiple sources in recent weeks,” the insider tells Us. “There was clear evidence when she approached Future about the cheating. This was clearly not just a one-night thing.”

Lee was Future’s stylist specifically for his music and photo shoots, as well as his personal shopper. According to the same insider, Ciara was “devastated” about her fiance’s betrayal.”

Check out the rumored sidechick:

What’s worse is that allegedly Future has been flying ol’ girl out on private jets and showering her with gifts and she purposely posts pics for Ciara to see.

It seems like these rappers keep breaking Cici’s heart…maybe you need to move around and find a decent R&B singing dude.

Hip Hop Rumors: Superhead To Release A New Tell-All?

By: KubeezzCategory: Rumors

Karrine ‘Superhead’ Steffans is back once again. A decade ago she shook up high-up with the release of her first book, “Confessions of a Video Vixen,” and now she is ready for round two.

She took to Instagram to share the news:

Screen Shot 2014-08-21 at 11.04.52 AM

“Just because I don’t jump up and down trying to defend myself every time someone in my life says or does something negative toward me, doesn’t mean I’m accepting their b#######. The most dangerous person in the room is the quietest. Over the years, I have fought very private wars and let the public spin. I didn’t have the energy to fight the world. I was too busy trying to save my own life. But, you see, the thing about writing is that you can do it anywhere, at any time, record everything, then kept it. Just hold on to it…until. After all, revenge is a dish best served cold and the best revenge will always be truth and success. I like to play dead. I like to lull people to sleep with a false sense of victory and when they have fallen asleep, I like to stifle them with my words…stab them with my pen…boil them in its ink. VINDICATED: CONFESSIONS OF A VIDEO VIXEN is on its way and nothing will be the same. Good morning. ?”

Hip Hop Rumors: Did Joe Budden Brutally Attack Girlfriend?

By: KubeezzCategory: Rumors

With all the drama stirred up on last season’s LHHNY, looks like Joey may be looking at some real trouble if these accusations are true. MediaTakeout is reporting that Budden allegedly beat up his girlfriend pretty bad.

“Rapper Joe Budden got upset because [JOE’S GIRLFRIEND] dumped him after discovering he was cheating and hooking up with strippers. She then went out (clubbing) with a couple of friends to blow off some steam. One of her friends boyfriend uploaded pictures of [JOE’S GIRLFRIEND] clubbing on Instagram and someone forward the pictures to Joe.

Joe [must have] thought [JOE’S GIRLFRIEND] was out clubbing and flirting with other men so he showed up Sunday morning, where she was out eating with friends (in Washington Heights) and told her to get in his car. When she entered his car he immediately bashed her head into the dashboard of the car and drove off with her to his house [in neighboring Ne Jersey] when they arrive into his drive way he dragged her out the car her kicking and screaming and he repeatedly punched and kicked her in the ground.

Once inside the home he choked her to the point she thought he was going to kill her. She said he had to fight her way off him, gasping for air. He spitted in her face and threatened her not to tell anyone. She said the look on his face was dreadful like he had no soul. She managed to escape his home and contacted the police. Currently there as been no arrest made. A police report has been filed for New York and New Jersey.”

Do you think Budden went upside ol’ girl’s head like that???

50 Cent: I F*cked Up Ja Rule & Fredro Starr Bad

By: Keith Nelson Jr (@JusAire)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) The Unit is back, but have no interest in rehashing old rivalries…until they’re asked. During an upcoming G-Unit Reunion special on SiriusXM taped last night(August 20th), 50 Cent addressed Ja Rule and Fredro Starr recent comments on their past feuds and claims to have “iced them”.

In Ja Rule’s recently published book Unruly: The Highs and Lows of Being a Man he recounts a time when he attacked 50 Cent with a bat in the early 2000s. During an interview with The Breakfast Club in June, Fredro Starr remarked that during his scuffle with 50 Cent at the 2003 Vibe Awards, 50 in fact missed his punch, contrary to prior reports. According to the G-Unit general, these recent recollections are evidence enough that he “iced them”:

[The Ja Rule incident] is so old it doesn’t make sense to talk about it. Even around that, you had Fredro [Starr] come back and say something. These guys man..I f*cked them up bad. [Laughs]  Whenever a person let that much time go by and they come back with some sh*t like that. I thought the book was about your life? I guess I’m your motherfu*king life.

Buck later stated “you smacked the sh*t out that boy”, seemingly referring to Fredro Starr incident at the 2003 Vibe Awards.
