(AllHipHop News) Atlanta Hip-Hop star T.I. graces the cover of this month Billboard magazine, where he gives a very interesting interview about his career, in addition to his legal issues over the years.
During the interview, T.I. opened up about his arrest for weapons possession in October of 2007, just prior to a performance at the BET Awards.
T.I. was caught in an undercover sting, buying automatic machine guns and silencers.
When police raided his house they also uncovered more guns, as well as a pound of marijuana.
“Of course, Em. He was extremely supportive and inspirational during that time,” T.I. told Billboard. “Busta Rhymes, Puffy, Lyor Cohen, Russell Simmons, Nelly, David Banner, Charlie Mack, Will Smith. Will actually went as far as getting in touch with [attorney general] Eric Holder and the Obama
administration trying to see if we could get some kind of release. He was very politely told that was not possible.”
T.I. has a longstanding business relationship with Will Smith, who’s Overbrook Entertainment executive produced the hit movie “ATL,” which starred T.I.
Legal issues aside, T.I. is preparing to release his new album Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head
Today (November 27), T.I. released a new track from the album titled “Sorry” featuring Andre 3000.
Kim Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner, is said to already be salivating over the possibility of setting up her young daughter, Kendall Jenner, with the son of Hollywood royalty. Kris has reportedly gone out of her way to try to set up her daughter with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s son, Jaden Smith.
Although Jaden Smith is only 14 years old and Kendall Jenner is 17 years old, Kris Jenner has reportedly been trying to convince her daughter to date the younger Smith to further skyrocket her into fame and fortune. Not only is Jaden the son of Will Smith, he is already a star in his own right, having starred in the blockbuster hit, The Karate Kid, and performing as a rapper alongside Justin Bieber.
Kendall is a rising star and has taken to modeling. She is currently on the cover of Miss Vogue and booking modeling gigs left and right.
The two young adults got to know each other better at Kendall’s birthday party, where they held hands as they ice skated in the backyard of the Kardashian/Jenner home earlier this month. According to the National Enquirer, “Jaden is HOPELESSLY INFATUATED with Kendall, despite their age difference and the fact that she towers over him,” disclosed an insider. “What Jaden lacks in height and age, he makes up for in confidence.
Although Kris Jenner is trying to get her daughter to see the millions of dollars she can earn from dating Jaden, an inside source is revealing that “Kendall isn’t interested. Although she thinks Jaden is adorable and a cool friend, that’s where it ends. She wouldn’t date him in a million years.”
While Will and Jada have been very liberal with the way they are raising their kids and encourage them to make their own decisions, they are rumored to be dead set against the union. “They don’t want him tangled up with the scandal-plagued Kardashians” revealed a source.
Will Jaden Smith and Kendall Jenner be the next Kardashian family “power couple” a la big sister Kim Kardashian and Kanye West?

(AllHipHop News) Detroit rapper Young Calicoe is slated to make his first court appearance today (November 27), over animal fighting and gambling charges.
The rapper, born Toranio Hightower, is charged with conspiracy to gamble, animal fighting and conspiracy to commit animal fighting.
The charges came after a video surfaced on the Internet, that featured a cockfighting operation in a Detroit home.
After Detroit authorities got wind of the animal fighting ring/gambling operation, they raided a home and found eight dogs, three roosters and three hens.
Although Young Calicoe has been quiet since the Detroit Police Department began their investigation, a defense attorney in the case believes that the video in question was simply a harmless skit.
“Tells others to look at rap videos and see who you can convict, based just on what you see,” attorney Daryl Eason told MLive.com.
“You saw a happy, healthy pit bulls in the video,” said Eason, who represents two other defendants in the case.
If convicted on all charges, Young Calicoe faces 13 years in prison.
Happy Giving Tuesday!
Welcome to the day set aside to give back! No Really…. Today is Giving Tuesday! We had a day for giving thanks (#Thanksgiving), and two days for getting deals (#BlackFriday &#CyberMonday). This year, let’s help create #GivingTuesday™, the giving season’s opening day. Today is the day that charities, families, businesses and individuals are asked to come together to transform the way people think about, talk about, and participate in the giving season.
It’s a simple idea. Find a way for your family, your community, your company, or your organization to join in acts of giving. Tell everyone you can about what you are doing, and why it matters. Let’s create ways to give more, give better, and give smarter. For more info, visit GivingTuesday.org.
Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to…. Giving!! There’s a universal law that says, “the more you give, the more you get.” There is no coincidence that the people who give the most are the ones who have the most! Yes, you may say that they have it to give, but you’ll be surprised at how a little can help a lot. Giving is a selfish act! Not only does it make you feel great that you are helping someone less fortunate, but it also gives back to you in-kind!
Starting immediately, I need you to get used to giving! Not with an ulterior motive, but with an open heart, to someone who CANNOT repay you. Your purpose in life is to leave the world better than how you found it! Give back what has been given to you, and help push the world forward! You have more power than you use and can help more than you think! #GetUsedToGiving!!

(AllHipHop News) Incarcerated rapper C-Murder will have to wait to see if he will be able to appeal a 2009 murder conviction.
The rapper’s appeal was one of several major cases for the U.S. Supreme Court to review this week, but it was not on the docket for unknown reasons.
According to the Times-Picayune, no explanation was given for the delay, but it could be for several reasons, as Justices of the Supreme Court could have had asked for more time to consider the appeal.
C-Murder, born Corey Miller, was given a mandatory life sentence in Angola prison, after he was convicted of the 2002 death of 16-year-old Steven Thomas.
Thomas was shot to death inside of a now defunct, Harvey nightclub during a dispute.
Although witnesses placed C-Murder inside of the club, none were actually able to identify him as the person actually firing a weapon.
Defense witnesses have long claimed that another man, who is now deceased, was the person inside of the club that was responsible for shooting Thomas.
C-Murder has been convicted of the crime twice already.
In the first trial in 2003, the rapper was convicted, but that was overturned on appeal, when it was learned prosecutors expunged the criminal records of their witnesses.
During the 2009 trial, 10 of the 12 jurors found C-Murder guilty of Thomas’ death.
But as jurors were deliberating, one woman claimed that he was placed under undue stress to reach a verdict.
Other jurors accused another member of the jury of sleeping and reading the Bible during the deliberations.
Shortly after the case, the woman spoke to the media about the pressure she was under to make her decision.
The juror, Mary Jacob, told reporters shortly after the guilty verdict that she voted, because a Nother, younger insurer had become ill during the deliberations, since she believed see murder was innocent.
“They literally made this 20-year-old girl so violently ill,” Mary Jacob said. “She was shaking so bad. She ran into the bathroom. She was throwing her guts up. She couldn’t function anymore. That’s when I decided, the judge don’t want to listen to me, doesn’t want to listen to us? I told them, ‘You want him to be guilty? He’s guilty, now let’s get the hell out of here.”’
According to the Times-Picayune, the high Supreme Court approves less than 2% of the appeals that are filed annually.

I don’t know Solange to be any sort of a song writer, so I am not sure who she could be talking about here. But in a cryptic rant online she was pissy at somebody that didn’t give her credit for her writing. Now, we know that she and Beyonce have a seemingly good relationship. BUT, we also know that B has been checked i the pasted for not giving credit where credit is due. I wonder if Solange has touched base with Ne-Yo lately? Anyway, peep the tweets below!Source

BACK IN THE DAY, we ran from roaches, because they were nasty and would lay eggs in your ear! I mean, that’s what I heard! I will tell you, this sucks! I mean, this is crazy! What is the world coming to? I mean SERIOUSLY! This happened in the damn USA. A roach eating contest? But, wait, it gets BETTER. A man dies from eating too many roaches in said contest. Peep the AP report:
MIAMI (AP) – A Florida man choked to death after downing dozens of live roaches to win a contest earlier this year in which the grand prize was a python, according to an autopsy released Monday.
Edward Archbold, 32, of West Palm Beach died as a result of “asphyxia due to choking and aspiration of gastric contents,” according to the report released by the Broward County medical examiner’s office. It said his airway was obstructed by the roach body parts, which caused him to not be able to breathe.“There is a flap called the epiglottis that is supposed to stop objects from going into the lungs,” medical examiner Craig T. Mallak wrote in an email to the AP. “Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work. In the video you could see him trying to swallow and breathe at the same time. We can’t do both simultaneously.”
Lab tests for drugs came back negative. The death has been ruled an accident.
“It’s hard to even think about it,” said Kim Crawford, co-owner of Busch Canvas & Interiors where Archbold worked for four years. “It does bring a little closure because not knowing always puts that question mark out there.”
Crawford described Archbold as a “smart, good guy” who was “really good friends to people. She said a photo of Archbold and news clippings of the accident still hang in the main office.“It’s just a tragedy.”
Archbold died after downing the bugs as well as worms in the Oct. 6 contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach, about 40 miles north of Miami.
But, is it a tragedy? Clearly, it sucks that a person died. I’m not able to muster a lot of sympathy right now, because its so nasty.
By, the way, the world is supposed to end this year, per the Mayans. The Bible disagrees, but what if? Here is a way to get whatever you need to get off your chest, OFF. Peep the video from Chloe Hilliard, a comic and acclaimed journalist and send her a letter confessing all that needs to be confessed.

The battle for Nate Dogg’s estate was finally put to rest today after months of bickering between his children vs. his wife and mother. Nate Dogg didn’t leave a will behind and after his unfortunate death, his wife took control of his estate and appointed his mother to help with dividing his assets. This didn’t sit well with his children who allegedly didn’t trust them to divide the money fairly.
Well, Nate Dogg’s kids got some good news today, because Nate’s wife withdrew her petition to control his estate. According to TMZ, there is no word yet on who will helm the distribution of Nate Dogg’s estate now – but the children are said to be “ecstatic” with the woman backing down.
Side note: AllHipHop.com scored the exclusive details about Nate Dogg’s final album.

NYC-based and Australian-bred, multi-media personality, Simone “Bosslady” Amelia, recently celebrated the Atlanta launch of her “Betwixt” Reebok collaboration at My Fair Sweets, a popular bakery in the heart of Atlanta’s midtown.
Numerous key influencers, trendsetters, and sneaker enthusiasts, including DJ and super producer Don Cannon, DJ Trauma, Diego Cash (Lala’s “Full Court Life”), DJ Princess Cut, DJ Kno It All, Akon’s newest signee Nyemiah Supreme, and more, enjoyed complimentary Ciroc cocktails, and customized cupcake push-up pops, while DJ Adore provided the soundtrack for the evening.
Bosslady mingled with guests as they viewed the “Betwixt” Reebok, themed after Princess Jasmine from Aladdin. She and five other female tastemakers were selected as a part of Reebok’s “Classic Beat” campaign to design their own sneaker, and Reebok also donated $10,000 to each designer’s charity of choice, with Bosslady’s donation going to the New York Youth at Risk organization.
Bosslady is the Lifestyle Manager for DrJays.com, producer for Green Lantern’s Invasion Radio on HipHopNation/Sirius/XM, blogger for DJPremium.com and the self-proclaimed “Princess Jasmine of Hip Hop.”
Say what you want about 50 Cent, but one thing’s for sure, he is one hell of a business man. The frequent Forbes Cash King list maker revealed just how much money he earned for his G-Unit sneaker collaboration with Reebok, and it’s insane! 50 must have been in a braggadocious mood yesterday when he posted the tweet below, revealing that he has earned $80 million for his G-Unit sneaker!
50 really never needs to make another record again and he’ll be just fine financially. In another tweet, 50 thanked Paul Fireman, who sold Reebok a few years back for $700 million in cash!!! Now, that’s a real Cash King! No shots, just saying. Check out a pic of Paul below with A.I.
While it was a nice gesture on 50’s behalf, the tweet also seemed to hold a subliminal diss towards anyone who is endorsing Reebok these days…a.k.a. Swizz Beatz and Rick Ross. Check out his tweet below:
Should Swizz Beatz be offended? If you are still doubtful that 50 was taking shots at Swizz Beatz, check out the tweet 50 followed that up with:
If you didn’t know, Swizz Beatz also has a partnership with luxury shoe designer, Christian Louboutin a.k.a. Mr. Red Bottoms. Could that be another subliminal tweet, or is it just a coincidence?

Pittsburgh born rapper Wiz Khalifa is known for his unique fashion sense just as much as he is known for his music. The rapper has gone through a fashion transformation during his music career – going from sporting the baggie “Hip-Hop” look to now rocking his own signature style – and from wearing funky colored socks and hats to keeping it casual with hoodies and sweatshirts.
Check out the video below where Wiz Khalifa teaches us some of his swag secrets for mastering the style he likes to call “Hippie Rocker”:
Wiz Khalifa’s new LP, O.N.I.F.C., will be in stores and available for purchase online on December 4.
Jay-Z may need to step in and stage an intervention for two of his artists signed to his ROC Nation management company. Rumors have been swirling for a while now that Rihanna has been at odds with British import, singer Rita Ora – but now things have allegedly hit a feverish pitch, because Rita just beat Rihanna out for a new movie role.
Related: Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Jay-Z Replacing Rihanna with Rita Ora?
According to Sugarscape, Rita Ora will be making her movie debut in the upcoming The Fast and the Furious 6 as a sexy villain. Rita allegedly blew the producer’s socks off during her audition. We hear that she really won them over with “her look and her attitude?” Rihanna was the lead runner for the role, but due to a scheduling conflict, she lost out to Rita.
Rihanna is such a hot commodity these days that you would think they would reschedule her scenes so she could be in the movie. Movie producers do it all the time for the really big stars. In fact, the movie, A Star Is Born, was on hold for over a year while Beyonce was pregnant with Blue Ivy. Bey just recently dropped out of the project, too – so much for that!
Back to Rihanna and Rita Ora. Perez Hilton is reporting that Rihanna was allegedly furious with Rita Ora for as he put it, “stealing her style.” Check out how he reports it below:
“Rihanna was furious when she spotted Rita Ora’s dress for the VMAs, a rose gown that looked like one she wore in 2010. When Rita started her career, Rihanna thought it was cute that she was copying her look. But now she’s getting p##### off, especially as Rita is getting a following by using her old tricks.”
Interesting. Do you think Rihanna should be worried about Rita Ora?
