DJ Mustard Reveals "IDFWU" Was Originally Meant For Justin Bieber

In a recent interview with MTV News, booming California DJ Mustard revealed that the beat for the still popular “I Don’t F*ck With You” was initially intended for Justin Bieber before it was ultimately scooped up by G.O.O.D. Music artist Big Sean. 

Mustard explained, “We just didn’t communicate; nobody communicated with my team. There’s not no hard feelings or anything like that. It’s not a beef or no crazy s### like that, but we didn’t communicate. I was excited about the record. 

He added, “ When I got in with Sean, Sean had already picked the record,” the producer explained. “I’m like, ‘Dang, Justin got this record.’ And I always kept telling my management like, ‘Yo, they got this record,’ and everybody was like, ‘Well, we reaching, and nobody else is reaching out to us. So what do you wanna do?’ And I was like, you know what, just give it to Sean, because me and Sean got a relationship. And I ended up doing four songs on Sean’s album.”

T-Pain – "Say The Word (I'm Gone)"

T-Pain is determined to show the world he’s just as talented without the use of auto-tune. The video for “Say The Word (I’m Gone),” which is set to appear on his fifth studio album, Stoicville: The Phoenix, is pretty much Pain in the studio harmonizing with himself (a lot like those viral videos on Youtube and Instagram). The ballad isn’t like what we’re used to hearing from T-Pain but it’s very good. This doesn’t come off as more than just a teaser for the entire song, but we’ll just have to find out when Stoicville: The Phoenix eventually drops.

For now watch “Say The Word (I’m Gone)” below.

Jazmine Sullivan Reveals An Abusive Relationship Caused Her Hiatus, Talks About 'Reality Show' Album And More (VIDEO)

After a three-year hiatus, Jazmine Sullivan is back with her third album, Reality Show. Back in 2011, she broke the news via Twitter that she was taking a hiatus from music because it wasn’t fun anymore. During her recent sit down with The Breakfast Club, the “Forever Don’t Last” singer revealed that her reason for her break was deeper than that tweet.

“I left music because I was in a really bad relationship and it had gotten abusive,” she said. “It had gotten to be too much just having to deal with the industry and that my personal life was so bad. So I had to go for a second. But I’m back. I’m out of the relationship.”

She says that after her abuser “slapped her so hard that she couldn’t hear,” which possibly could have threatened her singing career, that was the wake up call she needed to leave.

The Philly songstress also touched on how Jay Z and Solange’s ‘Elevatorgate’ scandal stole the shine from her Meek Mill-assisted single “Dumb,” preventing it from becoming a hit.

“What a coincidence!” said the 27-year-old about the scandal’s timing. “I did feel like that situation kind of took away from it but it’s cool. I got a lot more songs on the album that I personally think are doper.”

Watch below to hear her talk more about her new album, her love for reality shows and her image as a plus size singer.

Mike Epps Talks New Richard Pryor Biopic And Says There Wasn't One Good Comedian In 'Top Five'

The tug of war for the starring role of Richard Pryor in his upcoming biopic is now over. And the role goes to…Mike Epps.

During a recent interview, the 44-year-old said that he is slated to start shooting in March and although he is nervous he believes that that role was destined to be his.

“I’m really, really nervous, but it’s a good nervous,” Epps said on The Tom Joyner Morning Show. “I gotta represent the King. It left me, but it came back. I think I was born to play the brother. Our lives have paralleled in so many ways. I think when you’re a real artist, a great artist, most of them had a problem at some point in their lives. I fight demons all the time. I just think alcohol and drug addiction are hereditary sometimes. We can’t fight it.”

After gushing about snagging the desired role as the legendary comedian, the Sparkle star took the time to throw shade at fellow funny man Chris Rock while talking about his directorial debut, Top Five.

“I haven’t seen it. I don’t know why they called it Top Five. There wasn’t one good comedian in the whole movie. I don’t know why they keep giving Chris Rock opportunities. He’s a great standup and a good Meerkat. When do these white people – they’re blind. They keep giving the wrong dude opportunities.”

Other comedians in Top Five include Tracy Morgan, Kevin Hart, J.B Smoove, Cedric the Entertainer, Sherri Shepherd and Saturday Night Live stars Leslie Wilson and Jay Pharoah.

The Starz series, Survivor’s Remorse, in which Epps stars, will be returning to TV sets in March.

 

Is Mike Epps Shading Chris Rock…Or Telling The Truth

For the record, I say HATE.

SHADE.

DISDAIN.

OR PUBLICITY.

Whatever you wanna call it, this man has no reason to lash out at Chris Rock like Pootie Tang wasn’t the shiz-NIT.

Love that movie!

Anyway, here is what Epps said on the Tom Joyner morning show via journalist Tonya Pendleton:

“I haven’t seen it. I don’t know why they called it ‘Top Five” there wasn’t one good comedian in the whole movie. I don’t know why they keep giving Chris Rock opportunities. He’s a great standup and a good Meerkat. When do these white people – they’re blind. They keep giving the wrong dude opportunities.”

He also said his new movie about Richard Pryor is going to be as big as “Selma.” Random. Why not…big as “Star Wars.” LOL! Don’t limit yourself, big homey.

“I start shooting in March. We’re going to be shooting in L.A. and New York. I’m really, really nervous, but it’s a good nervous. I gotta represent the King. It left me, but it came back. I think I was born to play the brother. Our lives have paralleled in so many ways. I think when you’re a real artist, a great artist, most of them had a problem at some point in their lives. I fight demons all the time. I just think alcohol and drug addiction are hereditary sometimes. We can’t fight it.

“The Richard Pryor will be just as big as Selma or any of the other black history movies. Richard Pryor had almost as strong an effect as Martin Luther King on Black people. He was talking about race. He was talking about cops jumping on Black people back in the day.”

Chris Brown Has P### Star's Twitter Shut Down After She Posts Nude Pics Of Him

Earlier this week, a p### star took to her Twitter in efforts to expose Chris Brown. Kagney Linn Karter, who also works as an escort, said that the “Loyal” singer paid her $2,500 to be his escort for the night and became upset when he learned that sex was not a part of the deal.

While tweeting about how he has been cyberbylling/stalking her since she refused to have sex with him, Karter also posted pictures of what she said was Brown’s private area. With one of the pics, she tweeted “i can slap b###### now with chris browns d– on my timeline all day say some SLICK S– pulls out CBs d— WHAP.”

When Breezy saw that Karter had taken things too far, he reportedly had his legal team suspend her Twitter account. Twitter does not forbid nude pictures, but it does not condone violating someone’s privacy with graphic flicks.

This fiasco is now the least of Breezy’s worries. A shooting occurred recently during a San Jose, CA club performance where five people were shot, which led to him swearing off “hood clubs.”

Naya Rivera Recieves Twitter Backlash After Saying Showering Daily Is 'A White People Thing'

During an appearance on The View yesterday (Jan. 13) actress Naya Rivera shared her theory on showering, deeming it something that is done too frequently by white people and not so much by people of color.

“I think that white people shower a lot more than ethics,” said the Glee star. “I think that showering more than once a day or everyday is such a white people thing.”

Rivera, who’s African America, white and German, said that she came to this revelation after marrying her white husband, Ryan Dorsey. “He showers a lot, like two to three times a day.”

The 28-year-old then used research to back up her claim, which garnered side eyes from the audience.

“A dermatologist says that you are only supposed to shower once or twice every three days. So I’m right on the mark.”

Once word of what she said got out, Rivera caught the wrath of Twitter. She then encouraged people to laugh off her comments.

Check out what Twitter had to say about her speculation.
