(AllHipHop News) It appears the BET Awards weekend ended in violence. TMZ reports the Los Angeles night spot Supperclub was hosting a party attended by Hip Hop stars Meek Mill, T-Pain, Busta Rhymes, and The Game.
Apparently around 2:30 am local time, someone fired a gun outside the location. No one is reported to be hurt. The shooter is still at large.
Meek sent out a tweet this morning including the hashtag “wasntme.” It is not clear if the tweet was addressing the supposed incident at Supperclub, other reports that his show at another location erupted into a riot, or rumors that his chain was snatched over the weekend.

(AllHipHop News) “How the f**k you in the game like ten years strong? Y’all b***hes still can’t write your own damn song?” rapped a pre-famous Nicki Minaj on a The Come Up DVD freestyle back in 2008. The Young Money member reminded the world last night that she’s still not feeling rappers that have ghostwriters.

During her acceptance speech at the BET Awards, Nicki took time to make it clear that she is the only person that writes her lyrics and took a swipe at some of her peers at the same time. After winning for Best Female Hip Hop Artist, the “Pills N Potions” performer told the audience, “When you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it.”
While Nicki went on to claim that her statement included “no shade,” it did seem to be directed toward fellow nominee Iggy Azalea. Nicki added, “I hope and pray that BET continues to honor authenticity.”
Earlier this month Nicki took issue with a Forbes magazine feature about Iggy. The original title of the piece was “Hip Hop Is Run By A White, Blonde, Australian Woman.” Negative feedback led to the headline being changed, but Minaj still told Power 105’s The Breakfast Club, “Listen, all Forbes needs to worry about is my finances and when I’m going to be selling Myx Fusion for $250 million. That’s all they need to worry about.”

Iggy Azalea has also been embraced by Nicki’s longtime rival Lil Kim. The rap veteran and the buzzing newcomer exchanged compliments on Twitter earlier this year.
@LilKim just now seeing this!!! Thanks kim!!! Hope the baby shower was good. Xo

Nicki also acknowledged Iggy’s successful run atop the Billboard Hot 100 with the single “Fancy.” Just last month she gave props to the Australian femcee, but she added she wanted for other female rhymers to give her props as well.
“I think that congratulations is in order. Her single is doing really, really well and I think that’s a good thing. One thing I’m not is a hater. If somebody is doing something and they did it well, and their song is charting well, then congratulations,” Nicki said at the time. “I just want female rappers to understand that I’ve kicked in a lot of doors for them and I just would appreciate if they would acknowledge that.”

Going by video captured of the incident there did not appear to be a physical altercation, but the L.A. resident and the Chicago native can clearly be seen addressing each other.
The issues between Game and Durk stemmed from Tyga’s song “Chiraq To LA.” The cut featured a verse from Game that including a few verbal shots aimed at Durk. The Coke Boys member alleged that Tyga paid Game to jump on the song and also referred to “Game’s wife” when asked what woman he would most like to have a conversation with.
Game later revealed on Twitter that the two sides have settled their beef.
My Big homie “G Weed” put @lildurk_ on the phone wit me. S### is DEAD ! We chopped it up like REAL N##### & both sides respect each other.

“Because it’s someone that I honor and I respect so much, it has to be 128 percent, especially for all her fans, including myself,” said Zendaya at the BET Awards. “I didn’t feel like it was all the way there, so I didn’t want to do that. And when the time comes when it’s done right and it’s 100 percent, by all means, I will be the first person there ready to go.”
The Lifetime network confirmed Zendaya’s departure from the biopic via Twitter.
We are sad Zendaya will no longer portray Aaliyah. Production is currently on hold.

The stuff surrounding the BET Awards always gives us something to talk about. This time around, it seems like all is well and peaceful. The only thing I did hear was that there was an incident at a Meek Mill show. A major fight turned into a full fledged riot at Meek Mill’s party or show at a club named Toxic. What a name for a club! Apparently, somebody got stabbed. The police were swarming the scene and the ghetto birds (helicopters) were all over the place. Hopefully, nobody died. I really haven’t heard any else negative going on. On the other side, I’ve heard mostly everything has been pretty damn dope down there. The Roots had a show with Red, Meth, Warren G, Skillz and I heard it was great. YG also had a show last night and I heard he was coolin’ among the people. Today is the awards show and I think Chris Rock is going to be hilarious.

(AllHipHop News) Brooklyn’s own Buckshot has always put on for his hometown, but the Duck Down Music co-founder feels some of today’s NYC based rappers are taking the idea repping your city to the extreme.
[ALSO READ: EXCLUSIVE: Buckshot Discusses “BackPack Travels” Album, Pro Era Crew, & The Illuminati]
In a recent interview with AllHipHop.com, Buck was asked for his take on Brooklyn Hip Hop at the moment. He did not call out any particular emcee, but the Black Moon member did express some homegrown acts from NYC should calm down with all the New York talk.
AllHipHop.com: There are a lot of acts from Brooklyn buzzing right now like Troy Ave. What’s your take on the current state of Brooklyn Hip Hop?
Buckshot: I’ll just say some people deserve to be in that position of acknowledgement, and some people really don’t. I give props to the people that deserve it. I don’t really mention any names.
Some people say they represent New York. Okay you represent New York, but when certain people keep saying “New York, New York, New York” all the time that just becomes a little bit aggravating after a while. You don’t gotta keep saying it all the time. Some people just overdo it.
There is one BK crew that Buck strongly endorses. He connected with Pro Era’s Joey Bada$$ and CJ Fly for the track “Flute” which is featured on Buckshot & P-Money’s new joint album BackPack Travels. According to Buck, Pro Era’s appreciation for the generation of Hip Hop stars that came before them set the collective apart from other new acts.
Buckshot: When we got that opportunity to work with Pro Era it was only a pleasure. There’s certain things you’re just amazed at, because they are so dope as individuals. And those are the type of people that give props to artists of the 90’s. To me, that’s special because I’ve always given props to the artists before me like the Big Daddy Kanes, the Slick Ricks, and the KRS-Ones. I like people that’s like that. Some people just don’t care, and they’ll tell you.
