(AllHipHop News) Yesterday (February 10), the Miami Heat defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 107-97 and Lebron James became the third player in NBA history to have 5 consecutive games scoring over 30 points on 60% field goal shooting.
Lil Wayne attended the game but did not get to witness the historic feat as he was ejected by security at the American Airlines arena.
So I'm @ da Heat game right, rootin 4 da Lakers kuz dats my team & would u believe they got police 2 make me leave?! Wow! F#€k da Heat
— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) February 10, 2013
The Heat’s spokeswoman stated, via email to USA Today, that Mr. Carter left on his own.
While the New Orleans wordsmith asserts his vocal allegiance with the Heat’s opponent as the cause for his ejection, an eyewitness sitting near Lil Wayne suggests guns were the central reason.
Miami DJ Irie’s Social Media Manager , Danny Vega tweeted during the game that Lil Wayne gestured he had a gun to an antagonizing fan:
Random guy yelled at Lil Wayne at #MiamiHEAT game. Weezy looked back, gave him a mean stare & gestured he had a gun. LOL what a d#####
— Señor Danny Vega (@sdVEGA) February 10, 2013
This incident is the latest saga in an ongoing riff between the Young Money President and the Miami Heat, specifically the team’s two biggest stars.
Weezy vented to Rolling Stone in January of 2011 his frustrations over Dwayne Wade and Lebron James not acknowledging him at games. “We sit by them b*tch a*s n*ggas,” said Wayne. “At least come and ask why I’m not rooting for you.”
Five months after that Lil Wayne celebrated with the Heats 2011 Finals opponents, Dallas Mavericks at Miami’s Club Liv.

Lil Wayne’s questionable interaction with a fan might have earned him an ejection from Sunday’s game, but one a year ago recently earned him a lawsuit.
According to court documents posted by E!, Alfred Marino alleges that a member of Lil Wayne’s entourage struck him with a skateboard after the fan attempted to take a picture of the rapper. The plaintiff does not know exactly who struck him which is why he listed 1 to 100 suspects.
Lil Wayne’s next album, I Am Not A Human Being II drops March 26th and promises production from David Banner, Juicy J, Mike Will Made It and more.

I bet the United States will soon regret not deporting Kat Stacks…well, at least the rappers. This that sh*t y’all don’t like. Guess what? She’s struck already and the boy Juelz is the first official target. I guess this is a revenge plot for Santana saying some things about her.

But, suddenly, she releases another video with a terrible wig. She explained why she dissed Juelz and admits she has not met Juelz.

From what we were told, neither the King family nor the family of Malcolm X were happy with “Betty and Coretta,” the movie that tells the story of the wives of the slain civil rights icons. In the movie, they accentuate a number of negatives about both MLK and Malcolm, but made it a point to point the finger at Min. Louis Farrakhan to implicate him in the death. This was not the business. because Mary J. Was a part of the movie in a major way. She played Betty Shabazz and SHE was the “character” saying how fearful Betty was of Farrakhan. This lead to rumors that the Minister had beef with Mary. Not the case. There was a rumored meeting over the weekend and it came true.

No official word on what the convo was like, but it was definitely to publicly affirm there is no beef. Rumor killed.

(AllHipHop News) A lot of big names associated with the Hip-Hop world picked up trophies at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards Ceremony on Sunday night. The two biggest winners of the evening in the rap categories were Jay-Z and Kanye West.
The songs “N****s In Paris” and “No Church In The Wild,” off their 2011 collaborative album Watch The Throne, helped the duo add three more awards to the one they received last year for “Otis.”
That total makes Watch The Throne one of the most celebrated rap releases in Grammy history. It also raised the amount of career Grammy wins for Kanye to 21 and for Jay-Z to 17- enough to put both emcees on the top ten list of Grammy award recipients of all time.
Kanye did not attend the awards show, but Jay-Z was present to accept the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “No Church In The Wild” featuring Frank Ocean and The-Dream. The win gave Jay the opportunity to produce one of the most talked about moments of the night when he ribbed his fellow winner for his choice of clothing.
“I would like to thank the swap meet for his hat,” joked Jay, referring to the “Boyz In The Hood” cap The-Dream wore onstage.
The Roc Nation boss also made an appearance during Justin Timberlake’s comeback performance. Jay-Z and JT performed their new hit song “Suit & Tie” to a standing audience.
Along with his win for “No Church,” Ocean also took home the award for Best Urban Contemporary Album for channel ORANGE beating out Miguel’s Kaleideoscope Dream and Chris Brown’s Fortune. He used his turn at the microphone to thank his mother who could be seen with tears in her eyes, as her son won his first Grammy.
Ocean later returned to the stage for an innovative performance of “Forest Gump” where the singer appeared to run in place as images scrolled on digital screens around him.
Ocean’s competitor for Urban Contemporary award, Miguel, didn’t leave the show empty-handed. Before taking to the stage with Wiz Khalifa to perform “Adorn,” the breakout star won his first Grammy award for Best R&B Song in the pre-televised portion of the program.
Beyoncé and Usher were also honored before the actual show began. Usher won Best R&B Performance for “Climax,” and Bey won Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Love On Top.” This was the 17th Grammy win for Beyoncé, and the 8th for Usher.
While some artists were piling on to their Grammy totals, other were winning the golden phonograph for the first time. After 12 nominations, Young Money’s Drake snagged his first ever Grammy last night. His sophomore LP Take Care won for Best Rap Album winning over Nas’ Life Is Good and The Roots’ Undun.

(AllHipHop News) Three of the biggest stars in Hip-Hop and R&B last year used the spotlight placed on “Music’s Biggest Night” to reveal news about their 2013 projects.
Frank Ocean, Drake, and Pusha T were all present at the Grammy Awards last night, and during their respective turns on the red carpet each artist shared what’s happening with their highly anticipated upcoming albums.
Even though he lost the Album of The Year award to Mumford & Sons’ Babel, Odd Future crooner Frank Ocean is already hard at work to compete for the title again at a future show.
Ocean spoke with Billboard, telling them that he’s already “knee-deep” into the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut LP channel ORANGE.
The R&B singer also announced that he will be going on a full length tour this year- his first official tour since last summer, when he pulled out of a scheduled European run as the opening act for Coldplay.
Drake also came out with big news for his fans before the Grammy telecast. In an interview with E!’s Ryan Seacrest the Young Money rapper announced the title for his next album will be Nothing Was The Same.
Drake’s third official LP will feature his latest song “Started From The Bottom”. The video for the lead single was released last night as well.
While celebrating his first Grammy nominations for G.O.O.D. Music’s “Mercy”, Pusha T told FUSE that his debut solo album, My Name Is My Name, will be dropping this spring.
The Rick Ross-assisted “Millions” will be one of the tracks to appear on the album when it is released in May.
Pusha T didn’t win any Grammys last night, but both Frank Ocean and Drake took home trophies.
Drake won the award for Best Rap Album (Take Care), and Ocean captured awards in the categories for Best Urban Contemporary Album (channel ORANGE) and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration (“No Church In The Wild”).

Take Care, Drake’s second album, struck a chord as he also bested Lupe Fiasco, 2 Chainz and Rick Ross.
“Toronto, we got that. We ware watching [The Grammys] on the iPad. We just started going nuts [when we realized I won] and I realize I had torn my suit,” Drake said in an interview with FUSE News on the red carpet before the live show. He said he immediately called a tailor to fix his suit.
The Grammys will air live at 8pm tonight.

Hip-Hop and The Grammys have a weird relationship. They have since the beginning. Back in the 80’s Hip-Hop heads didn’t attend the show in protest of the rap nominations not being televised. These days they still aren’t being televised very much, but the Grammy committee seems to be doing better about recognizing Hip-Hop. Still, some stuff is odd and here’s a few matters that seems to stick out.
2 CHAINZ GOT NOMINATED!
Shout out to 2 Chainz! That dude did his thing in 2012! But why are the Grammys aware of him? He’s so hood and they are so haughty! Too bad it took so long for them to get around to dwelling in artists that Becky’s mother don’t know about. But, rumor has it, The Grammys are looking to address the popularity of urban music, even if the sales aren’t as great.

RICK ROSS’ WORST ALBUM….BUT HE GOT THE NOD!
Rick Ross’s God Forgives I Don’t is his second to last worst album of the 5 ( not to mention mixtapes). But, The Grammys gave him the nod on this one, skipping the last four. Better late than never.

THE BIG QUANDARY!
The Best Rap Album category is a beast! Nas, Drake, Rick Ross, The Roots, Lupe Fiasco, and 2 Chainz are all up for this one. Who will win? What is the deciding factor? They are all good in their own special way! As far as critical acclaim, Nas gets this one, because he has never won a Grammy!

PUBLIC ENEMY PERFORMING?
Aren’t these the guys that said, “Who gives a f**k about a gotdamn Grammy!?” You better believe times have changed! LL Cool J is also performing so the Gram’s cold went dumb with the old school.

FRANK OCEAN! 6 NOMINATIONS!
He struck a chord in 2012 and he’s winning something tonight!

(AllHipHop News) Rapper A$AP Rocky hit the catwalk earlier today (February 10), during the Hood By Air runway show, during New York’s Fashion Week.
The Harlem native was featured in the closing look of the Hood By Air fashion show, where he modeled the new 2013 line by Hood By Air.
A variety of celebrities stood by to watch A$AP Rocky, including rapper Waka Flocka, Theophilus London, Nichola Formichetti and others.
Hood By Air is a luxury streetwear brand, that was launched in 2006 by New York-based designer Shayne Oliver.
“I have always been interested in design, but Hood By Air is a statement more than anything,” Oliver said. “I want to push people. I want them to have new standards of what is classic and what is formal. If they don’t get it at first, I’m okay with it.”
Check out some pictures of A$AP Rocky walking the catwalk for Hood By Air below:
The TMZ round up!

LMAO!!!! TMZ don’t stop working. Here is a run down of some Sunday breaking news! Man, this a straight cut-n-paste job….lol…read below for the news and general YAP.

Chris Brown is firing back against the idea that paparazzi had nothing to do with his car accident yesterday … a rep for the singer tells TMZ he plans to sue the photogs involved.
As TMZ first reported, the paparazzi who were on the scene when Brown crashed Porsche claim they were not involved with the accident and only arrived on scene after the fact.
But Brown is sticking with his side of things … and his rep tells TMZ, “We plan on seeking criminal charges and holding them civilly liable.”
Stay tuned …

Rapper Future — Racking Up Baby Mamas?

Future — the rapper behind the hit “Same Damn Time” — may have to multitask when it comes to parenting duties … ’cause ANOTHER woman is claiming he knocked her up.
TMZ has learned the most recent potential baby mama filed a lawsuit against Future in Georgia earlier this month … claiming she gave birth to his son on December 4th. She also wants Future to start paying child support for the newborn STAT.
The woman makes it clear in docs, if Future disputes the paternity … she wants a judge order him to take a DNA test … and make it official.
As we previously reported … Future just settled another baby mama paternity suit back in January — and agreed to pay $1,662 a month in child support for his 10-year-old son.
Thanksgiving’s gonna be fun this year.
Cee Lo Green Sued — Company Claims He Scrooged Them Over XMAS Concerts

Cee Lo Green is being sued over the 12, no 6, no 2 days of Christmas — specifically, the lawsuit alleges his people conspired to fleece an unsuspecting promoter out of hundreds of thousands of dollars over concerts that were never going to happen.
Cierra Management Group claims in its lawsuit, Cee Lo’s people approached them in November, 2011 with a proposition — doing a tour called “12 Days of Christmas.” Cierra would have had to front $100k per concert and it was too much money.
So Cee Lo’s peeps went back and proposed to slash XMAS in half and do 6 days at $100k each, but it was still too rich for Cierra’s blood.
So, according to the lawsuit, Cierra was offered a bargain basement Yuletide proposition — 2 concerts for a total of $243,000 including expenses. It was too tempting and Cierra agreed.
But here’s the deal … According to the suit, the concerts never took place and Cierra believes Cee Lo’s people never intended for them to take place. The suit claims it was all “a scheme designed to finagle funding capital for concerts they knew would not manifest.”
Cee Lo is not accused of being part of the conspiracy — although his people certainly are — but he’s being sued for allegedly refusing to perform the 2 concerts.
Cierra wants a whopping $14.2 million.
We contacted Cee Lo’s people and so far no response.

Marques Houston Gets Restraining Order Against Raz B
6 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

Marques Houston is so afraid his beef with Raz B could turn dangerous, that he obtained a temporary restraining order against his former friend … TMZ has learned.
Houston and Raz B (real name De’Mario Thornton) have been feuding since the middle of last year. According to docs filed by Houston last month, the feud began when Raz posted a video online accusing Houston of molesting him when he was a child(a claim Houston has denied).
In the docs, Houston claims the video “has caused me emotional distress and caused me to fear he will be violent toward himself and others.” Houston claims that Raz also spoken many times about killing people as well as killing himself.
Houston also claims in the docs that Raz (famous from his days in the band B2K) has threatened him specifically on the Internet several times and this has made him “fear that my life, my girlfriend’s life and the lives of my family and friends are in danger.”
A judge granted the temporary restraining order last month, requiring Raz to at least 100 yards away from Houston.
A hearing to make the order permanent is scheduled to go down tomorrow.
Calls to Raz B were not returned.

Lupe is working and apparently has a new album coming, but what happened to it? Seems like Lupe Fiasco busted a move on Twitter and then deleted it.
He said:
“Hello. #LF is happy to announce his album title for 2013. “TETSUO & YOUTH” We Wish You Good Luck @ #TheGrammies Today. Thank You.”
Sooooooooo…the album is supposedly called “‘TETSUO & YOUTH” – which confused the sh*t out of me. Then I googled it. Tetsuo Shima is a character in Japanimation. How nerdy of him. I think its a good one and hopefully he keeps it. Maybe he will even mention drone strikes in there somewhere.
I don’t know why I threw that in there, but cool.
Wonder why he deleted the tweet, though?

“We about to get this money, boy! Right?”

“We gotta talk, hoser.”
These cats beefing? What’s the deal? I can’t even call it. But, beefing they supposedly are. What’s beef you may ask? This ain’t the stuff Biggie used to rap about. Seems like The Weeknd opted not to sign with Drake, because that deal is linked to YMCMB. I mistakenly thought that the OVO Label was under the Warner Brand and only Warner. But, nope. Streets say that The Weeknd didn’t like that deal and opted to go a different route to the chagrin of Drizzy. Now, this new song called “Started From The Bottom” is licking shots at The Weeknd. I thought that boy was like Drake’s best friend, but I guess he’s just smart. That’s a lot of hands in your pockets! Hands all in the weed pockets and all that! Anyway, if there is a beef, who cares…just sounds like business to me.
