Hip-Hop Rumors: What Made Kendrick Lamar Laugh Hysterically During The Hip-Hop Awards?
Uh Oh…
Something may be brewing and its not beef stew. Kendrick Lamar and his TDE Crew may have gotten the last laugh. Over the weekend at the BET Hip-Hop Awards, there was no beef. BUT, something awkward happened. French Montana was doing his song “Ain’t Worried About Nothing,” but the show put a twist to it. They remixed it with Diddy, Snoop and Rick Ross, all performing verses. This is what happened. During Diddy’s part, a young man was to bring out a crown and Diddy was to put it on top of his head. But, when the kid was coming out, Diddy didn’t see him approaching and Diddy’s elbow swung up and knocked the crown off the pillow onto the floor! It was a quick moment to the audience. Diddy quickly recovered and put the crown on his head and kept rapping. BUT, we heard the Kendrick and the TDE Crew were back stage laughing up a storm! Nobody knows for sure, but it seems like Diddy was making a statement with people calling themselves King. Kendrick likes to call himself King Kendrick as well as the King of New York. LOL! But, what was funny is when the comedian that warmed up the crowd ask the ATL audience if Kendrick was the King of New York, a lot of them scream “YES!” This was not during taping.

Joe Budden: Ya'll Never Quote Any Of The N*ggas Y'all Call The Best
(AllHipHop News) Since the founding of Hip Hop, artists, fans, and the media have debated about which rapper is wearing the crown at that particular moment with everyone having their own criteria for determining the best in the game.
The outspoken Joe Budden took to Twitter recently to give his insight into what he feels should be the final judgement on who is sitting in the throne. According to Budden, the simple question that has to be answered is- Does the rapper have quotable lyrics?
Budden will provide the opportunity for Hip Hop fans to possibly quote some of his lyrics after the New Jersey native’s BET Hip Hop Awards cypher with fellow Slaughterhouse members airs on October 15th.
The Mood Muzik emcee also announced in August that he will be dropping the Some Love Lost EP and All Love Lost LP in the near future.

A Little Less Drama: Mary J. Blige And Steve Stoute Foundation Pays Off $200,000 Of Bank Debt, Still Has Over $100,000 Left
(AllHipHop News) Mary J Blige and Steve Stoute can almost see the light at the end of her debt tunnel. According to TMZ, The Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now, Inc. has paid off $200,000 of their $322,000 bank debt with TD Bank.
The foundation was sued last year after defaulting on a $250,000 loan and according to TMZ, asserted that the bank should have been aware of the foundation’s financial troubles. The foundation took the loan out in June of 2011 and promised to pay back the money in six months. However, had only paid back a reported $368.33 by February of 2013, 14 months after they promised to pay the money back.
This is not the only debt that looms over Mary J Blige’s head. The legendary R&B singer was sued by Bank of America earlier this year for defaulting on a $500,000 loan and by Signature Bank for allegedly defaulting on a $2.2 million loan with her husband Martin Issacs last November.
