Hip-Hop Rumors: Chris Brown Wanted By the Police for Theft?! Warrent Being Issued!
Oh, man, this guy just can’t seem to stay out of trouble! A warrant for Chris Brown’s arrest is allegedly being prepared by the Florida State’s Attorney’s office after a woman filed a police report claiming that the singer stole her cell phone!
Chrital Spann has filed a police report claiming that Chris Brown snatched her cell phone out of her hand and drove away with it.
According to the police report, Spann followed C. Breezy out of the club in hopes of taking a picture of him, and when he caught her in the act, he grabbed her iPhone and yelled out “Bi*ch, you ain’t giving this to no website” before driving off.
“An incident report was filed against Mr. Brown, and the Florida State Attorney’s Office will be issuing a warrant for his arrest this afternoon. I can’t tell you what time, but it will be today,” said Deborah Doty, the public information officer for the Miami Police Department.
It’s also being reported that YMCMB’s Tyga was with Chris Brown at the time of the incident and dry snitched on Chris during the police interview. Word has it that Tyga told police that Breezy took the phone because he was with two groupies at the time, and he didn’t want the photos to end up online ’cause he didn’t want Rihanna to see them!
Tyga told detectives: “The guy’s trying to get back with Rihanna, and he knows that wouldn’t happen if the photos ended up online”
Breezy’s bodyguards also told police that Brown has made a habit of grabbing camera-phones from fans who take his pictures.
“He’s done it dozens of times,” the police source added.
This is getting out of hand. Someone needs to reel Chris Brown in before he ruins his career for good! He has way too much nonsense going on!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Drake Lose His VIBE Cover For Acting Like A Diva?
Rumor has it Drake was supposed to be on the cover of the February issue of VIBE , but he came to the set eight hours late and refused to cooperate with the styling for the issue.
VIBE contributor Lola Ogunnaike revealed:
“He was slated to appear on the cover of VIBE magazine to accompany this story [The Dark Side of Aubrey Graham]. But he fouled that up when he arrived more than eight hours late to the shoot and refused to wear any of the wardrobe provided for him.”
“He brought his own clothes, which was mostly Hemès and leather bomber jackets,” revealed a source at the shoot. “But it was a shoot about spring fashion. He was going on and on about wearing his leather bomber, and wasn’t letting it go. He said the [female] stylist was too aggressive, that he wasn’t a model and he wasn’t feeling the vibe. He hopped in his SUV and left.”
Do you think Drake had a good reason to walk out n the shoot? One man’s loss is another man’s gain…or in this case – woman! Nicki Minaj ended up scoring the cover instead. Check out Nicki’s cover below:
BG Sentencing Date Set For April 25; Rapper Facing 8-10
(AllHipHop News) Rapper BG will face at least eight years in federal prison for possession of a firearm and witness tampering.
BG, born Christopher Dorsey, was arrested in November of 2009 in a stolen rental vehicle that contained three stolen loaded guns and two extended clips.
BG is facing the lengthy sentence, after he declined an agreement with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to the charges against him in December of 2011.
To make the situation worse for the rapper, prosecutors are pushing for a stiffer sentence.
According to the New Orleans Times Picayune, BG was supposed to be sentenced earlier this month, but prosecutors delayed the hearing, because they believe he should receive a longer sentence.
The hearing was also delayed due to new information about the rapper being shared by federal prosecutors in Illinois.
The details about the information on BG in Illinois have yet to be revealed.
BG was once a member of hip-hop group The Hot Boys, which featured Lil Wayne, Young Turk, and Juvenile, faces at least 8 to 10 years in prison when he is sentenced on April 25.

Don Trip Releasing “Guerilla Mixtape” and “Shut Up” Video February 27
(AllHipHop News) Memphis rapper Don Trip recently announced that he will be releasing his mixtape “Guerrilla” on February 27th in association with DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz series of mixtapes.
The feature driven project gives fans a chance to hear Don Trip alongside some of the game’s hottest artists, including Yo Gotti, Juicy J, Wale, 2 Chainz, and up-and-coming artists Starlito, Psyko Young Dolph and Arlon.
Production comes from Cool and Dre, Sapp, The Renegades, The Dope Boyz, Ensayne Wayne and others.
“I approached this project as if it was my album, so I gave it my all. It’s only a mixtape because its free, it’s really much more,” Don Trip told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive interview about his project.
In addition to the upcoming album, Don Trip plans to debut his new video, “Shut Up,” exclusively on AllHipHop on February 27th.
To hear the song, which is today’s Breaking Heat on AllHipHop’s Music section, check here: “Shut Up”.
Last week in an interview with Don Trip, he explained his reason for recent Tweets about having no desire to battle rap other artists.
While the Trip says the Tweets weren’t directed at anyone in particular, Don Trip let it be known that he is as real as it gets.
“For some reason people assume that’s the way to get at me, or I guess take glory from me. Or people feel like that’s their way in the game, or feel like that’s they way to get on, by making a battle rap or diss against me,” Don Trip told AllHipHop.com. “The way I am, I take everything personal, you know I take every word serious, no matter what it is. So if you make a record and in your record you come and shoot me and any violent acts or you name my family and all that, I’m taking that to the heart, I don’t know no other other way. Where I’m from when you say to that, people take heed to that. If he wasn’t on a beat people wouldn’t overlook what people saying.”
Don Trip’s Guerrilla with DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz is out this February 27.
The mixtape cover and track listing is listed below.
