George Zimmerman Says He’s Homeless and Suffers From PTSD In First Interview Since Acquittal (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) George Zimmerman will stand his ground…until death threats start being hurled at him and his family. According to TMZ, the murderer of Trayvon Martin has left Miami after death threats emerged.
According to reports, after Zimmerman recorded an interview with Univision and Fusion last Tuesday (February 11th), he took himself, his girlfriend, her child and brother to the beach where they were allegedly harassed. The alleged harassment included an unnamed individual shouting that a $10,000 bounty was on George Zimmerman’s head. Zimmerman fled the city of Miami the following day.
In his interview with spanish language Univsion, Zimmerman stated he suffers from “post traumatic stress disorder” (PTSD) and lives in a constant state of fear following his acquittal in the murder case of Trayvon Martin. He spoke with CNN about how his death threats attribute to his alleged PTSD:
I have a lot of people saying that, you know, they guarantee that they’re going to kill me and I’ll never be a free man
Zimmerman also claims that he is homeless after he racked up over $1.5 million in lawyer fees. Zimmerman’s defense attorney Mark O’Mara stated that him and his law firm needed $500,000 to even start the case, started the George Zimmerman Defense Fund and raised the majority of the money, which did not include their individual payments.
Check out George Zimmerman talk about being homeless, suffering from PTSD and more in his first interview since his acquittal:

Lil Wayne & Mack Maine Say Friend Wrongfully Killed By Police
(AllHipHop News) New Orleans resident Keith “Magik” Atkinson was killed Sunday morning. The 31-year-old was a friend of YMCMB rapper Lil Wayne and Young Money president Mack Maine.
Magik was killed by a police officer, and Wayne, Mack, and Atkinon’s family are questioning the circumstances surrounding his death.
Atkinson was at a corner store when police arrived responding to a call about a Little Hug fruit juice shoplifting incident. The suspect was said to be wearing a blue shirt which happened to be the same color shirt Atkinson had on at the time.
Witnesses on the scene stated that Atkinson was not the shoplifter, but he ended up being shoot four times by officer Jonathan Hirdes. Police say they found a stolen .45 caliber gun next to his body.
Atkinson had been in trouble with the law in the past. He was on probation after pleading guilty to cocaine possession, and he reportedly was shot six times in recent years.
“I’m not saying he was an altar boy, but he wasn’t a straight-out killer. He wasn’t a criminal,” said Atkinson’s father Keith Joseph. “He held up through almost 40 surgeries, to lose his life at the hands of a police officer. I don’t think it’s justice… It’s not right.”
Lil Wayne and Mack Maine took to social media to express their condolences for Atkinson. They had all been partying together the night before.

The New Orleans police department has released few details about the shooting. NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas says a full investigation about the matter will be conducted.
Atkinson was survived by three children.

EXCLUSIVE: Rico Love Speaks on ‘They Don’t Know’ All Star Remix
(AllHipHop News) Producer/rapper Rico Love recently spoke with AllHipHop.com inside of Circle House Studios about the release of his new projects: the EP Discrete Luxury and the mixtape “El Presidente.”
Rico revealed that he deliberately released the Discrete Luxury EP with no marketing or promotion. He explained the logic behind his business strategy for the release.
“I didn’t put any promo behind Discrete Luxury, I didn’t announce that I was going to do an artist situation, I didn’t announce I was going to do a project…I wanted to drop my single, a video and a 5 song EP…
“The main purpose was because I was singing on the single ‘They Don’t Know.’ I didn’t want people to think I’m a singer, ’cause even now people are like ‘R&B sensation Rico Love,’ especially with the success I’ve had writing songs. So I just wanted to drop a body of work to explain who I was in a nutshell as an artist.”
Rico Love also spoke on the All Star remix for “They Don’t Know,” which features Ludacris, T.I. Trey Songz and Tiara Thomas.
Thanks to Rico’s extensive work as a producer with artists like Beyonce, Wiz Khalifa, Pitbull, Usher and others, getting names for the remix wasn’t difficult.
“Everyone who was on the remix called me and asked to be on it, I didn’t call anyone and say ‘I’m doing a remix I need a verse,'” Rico Love told AllHipHop.com. “Trey Songz didn’t even call me. I went in the studio to work with him and he said ‘Oh I remixed your joint check it out.’ He played me his verse and gave me the files. Ludacris called me and said ‘can you send the track?’ T.I., same thing: ‘Yo I wanna get on that joint.’ Tiara, you know, it was just one of them situations where it was real. I even put my artist MJ [on the remix]. He’s singing at the end. If you listen to the tail end, the ad libs he’s singing. I just wanted to incorporate my artist and my team.”

It now appears Kanye is working on a movie project inspired by Yeezus, and American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis is on board to write the screenplay.
Speaking with Vice, Easton said about the Yeezus movie:
It’s in Kanye-land and that’s subject to a whole other timeframe. He came and asked me to write the film. I didn’t want to at first. Then I listened to Yeezus. It was early summer last year and I was driving in my car. He’d given me an advance copy and I thought, regardless of whether I’m right for this project, I want to work with whoever made this. So f### it, I said yes. And that’s how it happened. That was seven or eight months ago. We’ll see what happens.
Kanye has shown in the past he was influenced by American Psycho. His video for Love Lockdown was inspired by the serial killer story. Ye also released a parody of the Mary Harron directed film starring Scott Disick as part of his Yeezus guerrilla style promo.

Nicki Minaj: There Is Something Wrong With People Who Don’t Like “Looking A*s Nigg*s”
(AllHipHop News) Usually artists release statements apologizing to the public if they offended a core part of their fanbase with their song. Sometimes those very artists act as if they never apologized. In a recent interview, Nicki Minaj addresses the controversy over her song “Looking A*s N*ggas”.
Nicki Minaj appeared on DJ Drama’s Shade45 radio show. After saying that “all the real n*ggas” she knows enjoy the song she explains how it’s not the quality of the song people do not like but some sort of repressed guilt of their own personality:
If you b*tchin’ about this song, somethin’ ain’t right, because all my real n*ggas textin’ me lie, ‘Yo, I’m so glad you gettin’ these n*ggas’ a####!’ I’m talkin’ about n##### that really move weight, you know what I’m sayin’?…I dunno, if you’ve got a problem with it, you guilty of somethin’
This comment comes less than a week after she removed the original cover art for “Looking A*s Nig*as” amidst controversy of the use of Malcolm X’s image in the single’s cover art. Later in the interview she explained that she was not trying to call Malcolm a “looking a*s n*gga” but stated the cover art was still in poor taste.
Check out the full interview where Nicki discusses her upcoming album The Pinkprint, hints at a mixtape with DJ Drama and more:
Hip-Hop Rumors: Bieber IS Moving To Atlanta For Hip-Hop!
Why else would Bieber be moving to Hip-Hop’s new home? Bizzle aka Beebz aka Your Worst Nightmare is moving to Buckhead, ATL. At first, I thought he was moving to Bankhead, to which I was going to say:
But, I think its dope that he’s moving deep into the the A where he can be partially hide while living out his rap fantasies. But according to TMZ, he really is going to be well away from the peering eyes of the press. These were his requirements:
— Can’t be visible from the street (preferably secluded on 5+ acres)
— A minimum of 10,000+ sq. ft.
— Lists for between $4 and $10 mil.
So, he’s buying this new spot and selling the other spot where he egged up his neighbors in Los Angeles. Basically, Justin wants to be around “his people,” the Hip-Hop community of Atlanta. You have been WARNED.

EXCLUSIVE Video: Skeme Lists A Surprising Top 5 Dead Or Alive
Videographer: Frsk Purple
Although the New West may be described by a plethora of clichéd euphemistic terms– California’s respected contribution to Hip-Hop precedes the Golden Era.
The artistic growth and tangible insight of, Inglewood’s own, Skeme, is readily apparent on his latest tape, Ingleworld. As one of the many emerging, Left-coast rappers, his efforts are helping to sustain Hip-Hop’s reaffirmed interest in the West.
After opening for Dom Kennedy, AllHipHop delighted in a candid conversation, which challenged Skeme to share his Top 5 Dead Or Alive MC’s. Possessing the knowledge and unabashed love for the culture his list champions conventional favorites and unexpected icons:
On Pimp C
“Number one is Pimp C. He’s my favorite rapper to ever do it. I felt that—over most guys in the game—it was a real sincere thing with him. You know what I’m saying. You never had a person who was on a record that wasn’t the same guy in real life, you feel me. Which is something I really respected as a kid and still to this day, you know what I’m saying. It ain’t enough muthafu*kas in the game that’s real enough to say everything that they got to say…” -Skeme
Hip-Hop Rumors: The New Way Women Are Keeping Their A$$ Fat!!
YOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I definitely went when I got this rumor:
When I heard this new rumor, it knocked me on my…a$$. YO. The truth is, people are going down for giving booty injections and getting implants. They are also getting exposed. But, now I got hit with a rumor that says there is a BETTER WAY to get that big booty and AND not have to get shots, implants or chauking, which is what they do in Newark, NJ. Check it!
RELATED: PEBBLES DA MODEL ARRESTED FOR CONCRETE BUTT INJECTIONS
In the interest of not slandering Kim, from which this rumor originates, I am hearing there are a number of starlets that are using this new herb called Maca. Clearly its not “new,” but women have just been put on to it to get their butt right. Seems like Maca Root Herb has been known to give fuller hips and a bigger posterior. It also addresses certain sexual dysfunction and menopause. See how this thing is a circle of giving?
Anyway, I heard a couple rapper chicks and a couple Hollywood chicks are on this to get their fuller body. Some people say that this works and others say it does not. It depends on the person. Most accounts indicate that they are some benefits from Maca. There is hope!!!!
Still, it reminds me of some reverse Sarah Baartman sh*t.
