(AllHipHop News) Nothing like explicit homophobia and violent threats to show us Hip Hop is the same all across the world. 34 year old German rapper Bushido has elicited a legal complaint from openly gay Berlin mayor Klaus Wowereit over his controversial video “Stress Without Cause”
In the video, the man born Anis Mohamed Youssef Ferchichi displayed homophobic and racist allusions and “crossed the line” according to Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich.
The rapper even appeared to make a violent threat to German lawmaker Claudia Roth by rapping “I shoot at Claudia Roth and she’ll get holes like a golf course.” In a television interview, he contends it was purely metaphorical:
“If I shoot, then I only do it with words and not with anything else.”
The video was subsequently removed from YouTube:
In the end, the German rapper concedes he may have justifiably crossed the line:
“I may have overshot the mark a bit but I would not in any way excuse myself here.”
“We gotta take care of them kids, man, I know you heard Obama”-Lil Wayne
(AllHipHop News) Chances are 25 year old Brittany Harris did not hear President Obama’s 2009 presidential address to children to improve their school performance but she sure heard Lil Wayne. According to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun, the Florida woman left her two children unattended in a parking lot at the South Florida Fairgrounds in order to attend a Lil Wayne concert.
An arena employee at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach found Harris’ two children, ages five and three around 9:45 pm in the parking lot next to a Nissan Altima. The children informed them that their mother had left them in the car in order to watch the Lil Wayne concert. After the worker escorted them to the sheriff’s deputies, Harris was located by investigators around 10:30 pm in parking lot.
Harris initially deceived the investigators by claiming her cousin brought the children to the parking lot before later admitting “that she came here and left the kids to stay in the car so she could watch the concert” according to the affidavit. She was subsequently arrested and held on $10,000 bond for each of her felony accounts. Due to the child endangerment charges, Harris’ children were taken into the care of child welfare workers.
Harris is also known as Pretty Red and has appeared in a few music video.
Check below for a picture of the affidavit with a complete recount of the events:

In the song, Timbaland addresses their falling out and the incident which involved him missing Jay-Z’s 40th birthday:
“Now we see each other and we dont even speak/that’s fcked up/I missed your 40th and that hurt me so deep/accept my apology, ngga please.”
According to Timbaland, Keri clears up the misconception that she sent incendiary remarks towards Mrs. Carter. Back in 2008, Keri Hilson remixed her song “Turnin’ Me On” and released some prophetical lyrics that appeared to be aimed at Beyonce:
“She can sing, but need to move it ‘to the (left)’ / She need to go have some babies / She needs to sit down, she fadin’… / Go ‘head and tell them folks how long I been writing your songs / I been puttin you on, just check the credits.”
The song will reportedly appear on Timbaland’s upcoming album Shock Value 3 which Timbaland has said will include guest spots from Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and possibly Kanye West.
