Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta’s DJ Babey Drew and Traci Steele won’t be returning to the next season of the popular reality show because they weren’t  turnt up enough. You already know Mona Scott likes drama, drama and mo’ drama. While Drew and Traci did have some conflict, it wasn’t at the epic level proportion that keeps ratchet viewers going so it’s a rap.

However, sources are saying that the couple isn’t done with the spotlight yet and are possibly looking to land their own show where they can call the shots. Good luck with that because viewers get tired of talk about “THAHA’s” and “popcorn hos'” after the first 5 minutes.

(AllHipHop News) Cam’ron is perplexed on Jay Z’s constant referencing of him after their short-lived beef in 2006.

Talking with MTV News, Cam wants the public to not only know that Jay Z is the one who constantly mentions him and even makes a startling allegation of how Jay Z treats Diplomats music at his 40/40 night club:

I think he has more of an attitude with us than we have with him. We had our moment back and forth, but I’m kinda over it. Like if you go to the 40/40 Club you’re not allowed to play Diplomat music,

Cam spoke to DJ Scream on Hoodrich Radio about his Ghetto Heaven Vol. 1. In addition, Cam spoke on what is holding back the long awaited (and delayed) Dipset reunion album:

It’s all love but nobody want to sit in a studio for a week and do a Dipset album, because it wouldnt be genuine. So basically we trying to figure out the time schedule so we can do it and do it right.

(AllHipHop News) Spike Lee is one of the most prolific filmmakers of all-time with numerous epochal films that have shaped generations. Pharrell, for the past 15 years has been on the shortlist of most influential and commercially viable Hip Hop producers. For Pharrell’s i am Other’s ARTST TLK series, the Star Trek producer sits down with Lee to discuss everything from the serendipity that helped him become a director to New York City in the deslote years of the late 70’s and more.

One poignant moment in the interview is where Lee brings back up an old gripe he had with the Academy of Motion Pictures after his film Bruce Beresford’s 1989 film Driving Miss Daisy was crowned Best Picture at the 1990 Oscar’s:

Driving Miss Daisy was not the best film of 1989. It’s not. Not one around the world is watching Driving Miss m#########*n Daisy. That film is not being taught in schools and universities around the world. Do The Right Thing was not even nominated for Best Picture.

He also revealed that he assumed the legendary role of Mars Blackman due financial constraints and derived the name from a combination of his grandmother Zimmie Shelton’s suggestion and the character’s infatuation with Michael Jordan and his Jumpman sneakers.

I see that the speech is over. I’m going to call a cut, but he keeps going. He kept going for another five minutes until finally the film ran out of the magazine. The stuff he was said was better than Malcolm’s words. I finally call cut and I go ‘Denzel, that was great, but where did that come from?’ You went on for five minutes longer than what was scripted.’ He said ‘Spike, I don’t know.’

Check out both parts of the 40 minute + interview as Spike and Pharrell discusses the shift in Hip Hop, generational differences in parenting and more below:

Former Detroit Mayor Sentenced to 28 Years in Fed

(AllHipHopNews) In what is the end of a decade-long tale of scandal, sex, and extortion, former Detroit Mayor Kwame M. Kilpatrick has been sentenced to 28 years in federal prison.

The 43-year-old was elected Mayor of the city of Detroit at the age of 31, and his flashy attire, earring, and ever-present two-way pager garnered him the title, “The Hip-Hop Mayor.”

He brought new attractions to the city’s riverfront and much-needed business investment downtown, with a mayorship that to many was to be a symbol of youth and hope, but turned into one of corruption and scandal. Kilpatrick was sentenced today in federal court to the amount of time that prosecutors asked for, 28 years.

“He’s become the poster child of what went wrong with the city and why it went bankrupt,” said Adolph Mongo, a political consultant who worked for Mr. Kilpatrick’s re-election campaign, to the New York Times. Yet he said it was unfair to pin the city’s problems on any single elected leader. “It was a house of cards,” Mr. Mongo said of Detroit’s fiscal health. “Kilpatrick was the last card. He fell and it knocked everything down.”

Last year Rodney Carr, a minister from Memphis, was arrested for knowingly infecting a woman with HIV but that hasn’t stopped him from still playing the field. He has surfaced on BlackPeopleMeet.com not once, but twice, as in two profiles, according to WREG.

One profile name is listed as “MinterWonderful” and the other one is his full name but his status isn’t listed on either page. It’s believed that the anonymous woman who was infected got the virus between 2010 and 2011. The minister found out about his status on 2005. He first admitted that he spread it but changed his story in court saying that he didn’t knowingly spread the virus.

The infected woman isn’t innocent either. Apparently, she was sleeping with Carr and her husband around the time she got infected. Her husband does not have the virus. Side eye.

There are no other victims that authorities know of right now but the point is, you can’t trust anybody these days. Be careful.
