Remember just a few weeks ago, there were reports that Chief Keef was engaged to a fly young vixen.

Well, it seems that the 17-year-old Keef is in the city of Gods and Earths and is cavorting with alleged strippers like he ain’t worried about nothing. Only thing is, it may not be sweet for him right now. Apparently, the strippers in NYC are still on some grimy street biz like setting dudes up and whatever. I don’t know, but it seems like the boy has an affinity for the ratchet. That’s what up!

(AllHipHop News) Hip Hop culture is made up of four elements. Three of those pillars, emceeing, DJing, and graffitti art, have all maintain a high level of relevance throughout the years, and now the fourth element of break dancing is set to get a large spotlight shined on it again.
The world famous Apollo Theater will be home to Breakin’ Convention: International Festival of Hip Hop Dance Theatre this month. It will be the first time the 10 year old event will take place in the United States.
Breakin Convention started at the Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London in 2004. The showcase uses Hip Hop dance to create theatrical performances.
“I think what we’re doing is breaking the conventions of how we normally see Hip Hop,” says acclaimed British dancer/emcee/playwright and Breakin’ Convention artistic director Jonzi D. “Usually we see it in a battle context or within a night club. Now what we’re doing is taking it to theater to show the development of what is real contemporary dance.”
Jonzi is one of the performers for the event. He will also join legendary female rapper MC Lyte as the festival’s hosts. Attendees will get to see dancers from around the world, attend Hip Hop workshops, and other activities.
Some of the international dance artists and crews already confirmed to perform include Boy Blue from the United Kingdom, Frank Ejara from Brazil, Project Soul Collective from South Korea, FootworKINGz from Chicago, and Next Level Squad from New York City.
“The reason why you gotta come and check out this show is because it’s showing you the origins and global evolution of this culture,” says Jonzi. “We’re paying homage to Hip Hop culture.”
Breakin’ Convention: International Festival of Hip Hop Dance Theatre will take place at Harlem’s Apollo Theater from Thursday, June 13 through Sunday, June 16.

(AllHipHop News) Miguel’s accidental leg drop on a fan at last month’s Billboard Music Awards may have caused more than just a moment of embarrassment. Khyati Shah, the women who was on the receiving end of the stage dive mishap, is now claiming that she may have suffered brain damage from the incident.
“Some of the difficulties she’s experiencing are cognitive in nature and lead to suspicion of a neurological head injury,” Vip Bhola, Shah’s attorney, told TMZ. A neurological test was administered on Shah and the results will determine whether they will move forward with a lawsuit.
Bhola also argued that Billboard did not do enough that night to ensure Shah was given proper medical attention. Apparently, she was handed an ice pack and was not taken to the hospital for emergency care.
Miguel seems to be dealing with the entire “leg drop” ordeal with humor. He recently freestyled a couple of comedic lines about the incident during an interview with the BBC’s Charlie Sloth.

That date is two days before his 36th birthday on September 12th.
“We should all celebrate the week of the 10th man, I’m just really adding gasoline or adding steroids to what I was already doing as far as locking down the club, locking down the streets,” said Chainz. “Just really giving it to you from my heart man and also enjoying life, enjoying getting this paper. You feel me?”
