L.A. County District Attorney Reinvestigate Cee Lo Green Rape Case

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

(AllHipHop News) Old news is could be a new headache for Cee Lo Green in the upcoming weeks. According to a report from TMZ, the L.A. County District Attorney are deciding whether to prosecute Cee Lo Green for allegedly raping a woman last year.

In October of 2012, TMZ reported that a woman filed a police report accusing the singer of sexual assault. According to the unnamed woman, she and Cee Lo were having drinks at a downtown L.A. restaurant in July of 2012 and the next thing she remembered was waking up naked with Cee Lo present in the room.

This story spun out of control when it was revealed that the woman and Cee Lo had been dating since February of 2012 with multiple reports informing TMZ that the woman had been actively searching for ways to coax Cee Lo into purchasing her expensive items.

Sources related to the case told TMZ that Cee Lo Green was on tape apologizing and mentioning MDMA (Ecstasy), however never admits to placing it in her drink.

The case was originally dismissed due to unsatisfactory evidence presented to the L.A. County District Attorney by the investigating agents. However, a five month reinvestigation ensued afterwards which included obtaining additional toxicology reports from the alleged victim as well as more witness reports.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Which Child Pop Star Turned Reality Star Got Dropped From Her Record Label?

By: Friday FosterCategory: Rumors

Word on the street is that this now grown up child star who had some heaters in the 90s along with a TV show, and even collaborated with Mase got dropped from her record label. I’m told that said singer/actress was not included on the label’s 2014 roster and that things just aren’t the same as far as the talent they’re interested in supporting, aka, they’re more about that ratchet.

No word on said pop star’s plans but she did have a good run on reality TV until deciding to focus more on music, motherhood and acting, which has also been lucrative for her. Even if going the indie route doesn’t work out, given the other talent and credentials we know she’ll be fine. She’s definitely not starving for checks at the moment.

Pusha T Shuts Down Gramercy Theatre For Album Release Concert (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) His name is Pusha T and his reputation is grizzly visceral street tales over menacing production. At his Gramercy Theatre show last night (October 7th) in celebration for the release of his debut album My Name Is My Name, Pusha T exemplified every quality that helped him sell out the venue.

Hosted by Hot 97’s Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg, Pusha’s gruff vocal inflections bounced off the acoustics in Gramercy Theatre exceptionally well as he rattled off his fan favorites of his catalogue. Opening the show with the gothic album intro, “King Push”, Pusha treated every song as its own event with certain songs having him dead in the center of the stage (“40 Acres”, “Exodus”) while others exhibited the frantic energy (“Millions”, “Suicide”) that made so many Clipse performances riveting in the past.

Pusha’s self-conscious relationship with his music, as demonstrated by his constant proclamation of having the best rap album of the year, was on full display. After performing his verses from G.O.O.D Music hit posse cuts “Mercy” and “I Dont Like (Remix)” he told the crowd “I feel like I’m getting a bit too commercial” before launching into a few cult favorites (“My God”, “Exodus 23:1”).

Disappointingly, there were few guest appearances in a show that featured Pusha T rap his part from the Kanye West-featured “New God Flow”(which sent the crowd in a frenzy), Kendrick Lamar-assisted “Nosetalgia” and a few others.  Fan reaction was consistent but wavered at points as Pusha would go through three songs with little intermission.

Outside the venue, Pusha had people in Hazmat suits hand out fliers. Interestingly enough, another person was also handing out fliers to Drake’s Nothing Was The Same

Pusha T’s My Name Is My Name album release concert proved that the more enthralling solo songs Pusha adds to his catalog the better his shows will be. But, for a debut album and concert release party, Pusha not only delivered but
