Working with an iconic brand like adidas is such an incredible opportunity. From the classic track suit, to growing up in Virginia wearing Stan Smiths, adidas has been a staple in my life. Their pieces are timeless. This is an exciting partnership for both me and for Bionic Yarn

Pharrell appeared on the red carpet of this year’s Academy Awards last month with a pair of custom Addidas sneakers. Those same sneakers appear in a teaser video Pharrell released on YouTube to announce his partnership with Addias.

50 Cent Shares His Thoughts On Jay Z’s Drake Diss

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent is no stranger to battles on wax, so it’s no surprise the G-Unit leader was asked about the recent verbal spat between Jay Z and Drake.

While appearing on The Russ Parr Morning Show, 50 shared his thoughts about Jay’s shot at Drake on his “We Made It” verse, if Drizzy should clap back at Hov, and how the situation will play out with each rapper’s respective partners.

When asked “who won?” 50 replied:

I think it’s just getting started. We didn’t actually hear any verses or raps from Drake. But you know what, it’s interesting I think you’re supposed to rap about things that are in your actual life. But those are laws that were a part of our culture when I actually came in, when I fell in love with it, but it’s old school. The kids don’t actually care, because they’ve accepted things in front of me that I know that they know wasn’t right. He was just saying, “f**k with me you know I got it.” So… did he have dope? What has he got? The Picasso?

When asked if he was encouraging Drake to respond, 50 said:

I think I would respond to it. I don’t know. It depends. Sometimes it has to be the right timing surrounding the response. Like if other people say things I just look at them.

50 continued:

He went to calling him Mrs. Drizzy. And then you gotta see what kind of lines would come out relationship wise. It might actually create a separation here people where there’s team RiRi and Drake on one side and Jay and Bey on the other… You with me or you with them baby? I’m gonna be in the house like this: “So you gonna be right with me and let this old man say this about me and you ain’t rolling with me girl? You got a fashion icon award. You mean tell me you scared of Bey? Why? Cause she’s drunk in love?”

50 Cent Gets Victory In Lawsuit Against WorldStarHipHop

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent received some good news this week. After 5 years, the New York rapper gained a partial victory in his copyright lawsuit against WorldStarHipHop.com

50 sued WSHH for using his likeness as part of the site’s banner. The judge in the case ruled in favor of the “Hold On” performer.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

The main controversy in the lawsuit had to do with the website’s masthead featuring an image of the rapper. In a ruling on Monday, a federal judge granted the hip-hop star summary judgment on copyright and right of publicity claims. In doing so, the judge rejected affirmative defenses including fair use. According to the ruling, “Defendants provide no authority to support the fair use of a celebrity’s image or likeness. This is not surprising, as a celebrity’s image, standing alone, only evokes that celebrity’s persona. Jackson’s image does not, by itself, describe anything about Defendants’ website.”

Chief Keef Allegedly Involved In Shooting

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Chief Keef may have been involved in a shooting that hospitalized at least one person, according to reports.

At press time, police were investigating the situation. No charges have been filed yet, but authorities have questioned several people.

The incident happened at Keef’s manager’s home in Northfield, IL.

The 18-year-old Keef was at the residence when the shooting occurred, but was not the shooter, according to TMZ.

Some reports have stated the opposite – that Keef was indeed the one that shot the unnamed person. Other sources say Keef actually drove the injured person to the hospital, but the notion is largely speculative.

The victim is currently in intensive care.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Chris Brown Catching Jail Hell Over Rihanna!?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Category: Headlines

Yeah man!

The inmates are supposedly “Team Rihanna” in the bing. According to HollywoodLife.com, “One inmate said in passing ‘you a b***h for hitting Rihanna.’”

LOL! Really? He’s in the jail with woman beaters, molesters, bums, killers and general crooks! It looks like somebody is making up duck tales, but lets continue with the rumor. <em

“They be saying other stuff too, like ‘you ain’t no rapper, you’re a whack R&B singer,’” the source continues. “They’re in there trying to break him down.”

Now they are saying Breezy is praying for an early release to get out of the belly of the beast. He’s only doing a skid bid, but I guess all he needs is for somebody to go crazy with the shank and that’s IT.

The thing about this that seems fishy is that Chris Brown in in solitary confinement. His interactions with other people is extremely limited. In fact, he only gets one out out of the cell.

“They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!” -illseed.

YO! I don’t watch the Wendy Williams show or anything, but somebody from the AHH team hit me with this one, I had to post it for the malicious factors alone!

Apparently, there is some rolling beef with Wendy and Evelyn Lozado! Why’d she set her off? Evelyn went in on Wendy and even drug her husband in the mix. Wendy obviously talks about people for a living so E just reversed it but with a meaner spirit! Peep what she posted on Facebook.
