(AllHipHop News) Even though this year’s NFL Super Bowl does not include  his personal favorite Dallas Cowboys or Roc Nation Sports client New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith, Jay Z will partake in Super Bowl weekend festivities. The multiple Grammy award winning MC is set to headline DirectTV’s annual Super Bowl eve party on February 1st.

The event, this year co-hosted by New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, featured Jay Z last year as a surprise guest during Justin Timberlake’s set. This year’s event is set to take place at DirecTV’s SuperFan Stadium at New York’s Hudson River Park Pier 40.

Beyonce is rumored to be joining Jay Z during his performance, however a spokeswoman for DirectTV informed Billboard that there is “no comment on the rumors.”

Epic Fail of the Day: Parrot Snitches on Drunk Driving Suspect

Mexican motorist Guillermo Reyes was stopped at an alcohol checkpoint in Mexico City on suspicion of drunk driving, and got ratted out by his pet bird.

“He’s drunk, he’s drunk,”  chirped the parakeet from inside Reyes’ vehicle, according to Spanish-language newspaper El Universal.

Police subsequently gave Reyes a breathalyzer test, which he failed. When animal control officers arrived on the scene, they discovered that the bird and his owner were close that they were concerned the animal might die if the two were separated, so authorities locked them up together. Both were held overnight.

That’s what the bird gets for snitching! Either that or maybe the bird was concerned and doled out some tough love. And that’s why you should get a dog.

Trina Braxton confirmed that she is trisexual and Towanda Braxton said she’s kinda/sorta dating Kordell Stewart. Both women tried to play coy on the Arsenio Hall Show but then got caught up in banter where they called each other out.

Towanda claimed that she likes Kordell as a friend while Trina, in addressing her relationship with her soon-to-be ex-husband, said that she might bat for the other team if the relationship doesn’t work. Towanda then said, “So, Trina, you said if the relationship doesn’t work you’d bat for the other team but you’re filing for divorce so does that mean you’re going to bat for the other team?”

Trina quipped, “Does that mean you’re dating Kordell?”

(AllHipHop News) Home was where the hatred was for the late Gil Scott Heron and where Wale . P. Diddy’s 24-hour music channel will debut its first ever original documentary, “Wale: I Am From” which follows the Maybach Music Group rapper on his trip to Africa to reconnect with his Nigerian roots.

For one week, REVOLT followed Wale as he met his Nigerian grandparents for the first time and how his busy music career created difficulties.

Back in November, Wale explained why he never visited his home country until 2013 during an interview with Nigerian radio station Beat FM Lagos:

I grew up poor. We lived in DC, in the projects. Getting a ticket to Nigeria on $20, 000 income yearly, to my family that wasn’t really… you know…like I was a 15 year old with a decent job, I’m not going to save up to go to Nigeria. That wasn’t what I was thinking when I was that age. And then I was in college and the money tight right then. And then I get this record deal when I dropped out of school, you’re running around so much you don’t even have time to see your own parents

The hour long original documentary premieries on January 20th at 10 p.m. EST on REVOLT channel. Check out the trailer for RevoltTV’s “Wale: I Am From” below:

Yeezianity: Man Makes Religion Based on Kanye West

(AllHipHop News) The Christian bible forbids idolatry and praising false gods, but that did not stop one person from creating an entire religion based around the teachings of Kanye West.

The anonymous religious leader explained to Noisey that Yeezianity was started only a month ago and Kanye West’s The College Dropout is his favorite album of all time. However, the anonymous person admits that Yeezianity has no organized religion but is similar to Christianity:

The idea has yet to get out there. Who knows what could come this way? But it’s an idea, and before anything can manifest, it has to start as an idea. In a lot of ways, after I created it, I reflected on it and thought that this was just a rehashing of Christianity, but just throwing Yeezus instead of Jesus.

Interestingly enough, the anonymous religious leader claims the main reason for starting the religion was to “attract Kanye to the point where I can meet him at some point.” The Yeezianity version of The Ten Commandments are known as The “5 Pillars”

1. All things created must be for the good of all
2. No human being’s right to express themselves must ever be repressed
3. Money is unnecessary except as a means of exchange
4. Man possesses the power to create everything he wants and needs
5. All human suffering exists to stimulate the creative powers of Man

Check out all the details on Yeezianity at its official website.
