Hip-Hop Rumors: Iggy Azalea Responds to Eve!
Earlier this week, rapper Eve admitted in an interview that she’s “not really into Iggy,” and that she’s not a fan of the MC. Well, Iggy has heard the interview and has responded to Eve. Check out what she told XXL below:
“I like Eve,” she began. “Everybody is different, everybody hasn’t lived out of the box and for you to even know if it’s real, you have to kind of be an out-the-box person or somebody who likes something they’re not suppose to [like]. A girl like her that raps is expected, so, how could you understand something so different?
“I’m not mad at [Eve] for not understanding it,” she continued. “How could you if you’ve never been ostracized or loved something you weren’t suppose to love? Everything you’ve loved you’re allowed to love, so, how could you understand me? Thus, how could you know if it’s real? I used to be like, ‘It is real, let me prove it to you. Now, I don’t care if you think it’s real or not because it’s what I love, it’s my life. I don’t put my story all out there for you because I don’t need to put my story out there and prove it. I don’t give a f### if you think I am or not ’cause that girl in the crowd understand it and that’s who it’s for, if you don’t then it’s not for you.”
Iggy may have a point there.
Man Breaks Into Diddy’s Mansion; Eats, Drinks; Wears Mogul’s Clothes
A man by the name of Quamine Taylor was arrested on April 1 at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ home in the Hamptons, after breaking into the mansion to enjoy the luxuries of Diddy’s lifestyle.
According to the New York Post Taylor accessed Diddy’s home by sneaking through an unlocked basement door and secretly enjoyed the mansion for nearly 24 hours.
He ate Diddy’s food, drank his liquor and even wore the rap mogul’s clothes.
Cops said that this is the second time Taylor has broken into the Bad Boy CEO’s house and Taylor admitted to his affinity for going to the house regularly.
“I’ve actually been going to the house from time to time since 2001,” Taylor told The Post yesterday at the Suffolk County Jail.
“I stay there a lot, but Sean gets funny sometimes about me staying there,” Taylor said.
In his first attempt at living Diddy’s lifestyle, Taylor tried to pass himself off as Combs’ cousin, after cops found him intoxicated during a dip in Combs’ pool.
In the second attempt Taylor told security that Diddy was a close personal friend, after he accidentally set off an alarm in the mansion.
His weekend getaway came to abrupt halt when one of Diddy’s caretaker’s found him at 4 p.m. on April Fools’ Day and called the authorities.
“I got a good night’s sleep, but it’s not anything too special,” Taylor said nonchalantly of Diddy’s Hamptons crib. “It’s just like a three bedroom.”
Taylor’s mom said he has a history of being mentally ill.
“He grew up listening to [Diddy’s] music,” Taylor’s mom told the New York Post. “He has a long history of mental illness, and he has been off his meds for a while. We have been trying to get him some help.”
Taylor was arraigned on trespassing and petit-larceny and was being held with a $2,000 bail.

EXCLUSIVE: Solar Resurfaces; Announces Jazzmatazz Touring Band
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Solar has resurfaced after lying low for almost two years, following the death of Hip-Hop star Guru, of Gangstarr.
Guru, who launched the Jazzmatazz series of Jazz-influenced Hip-Hop albums in 1993, died from complications of cancer on April 19, 2010.
According to Solar, he has resurrected the Jazzmatazz brand, by forming a new touring band named after the legendary albums.
“Nothing like a pro-filled jazz-ed band live. Add in a horn section, percussion, rappers, guest artists and you got a killer concert,” Solar told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “It’s a music and culture mix – a concert like no other. I also get to honor Guru – just by getting Jazzmatazz back on tour.”
Solar, born John B. Mosher, began working with Guru almost 11 years ago, helping to produce the later versions of Jazzmatazz via their label, 7 Grand Records.
The new incarnation of Jazzmatazz as a band features Solar alongside former members of the critically acclaimed group, Living Colour.
Living Colour members Will Calhoun and Doug Wimbush are part of the Jazzmatazz band, which also features Solar and musician David Scott.
According to Solar, he spent the past two years reorganizing his life.
In March of 2010, Solar was accused of releasing phony press statements on behalf of Guru, who was allegedly in a coma at the time the information in question was disseminated.
Then, Solar’s email and Twitter accounts were hacked, revealing a number of personal conversations, images and damaging information.
At the time, a blog named FuckSolar.com even popped up, dedicated to exposing Solar, who was accused of barring family members access to Guru during his illness.
“It took me a long time to pick up the pieces – make decisions,” Solar told AllHipHop.com. “Losing Guru was a lot to deal with but now I know I can move on.
“With Jazzmatazz’ 20th anniversary next year, Guru just might be smiling over the fact we will be playing out live again.”
According to Solar, the Jazzmatazz band is still looking for new members.
The unfilled band currently has four members, but aims to have a total of nine musicians in the group.
“Jazzmatazz was Guru’s at first but when I joined, Jazzmatazz became our pride and joy,” Solar told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “I hope to rekindle that pride, that joy and by doing touring, I’m carrying on Guru’s legacy. I think it is a fitting tribute to my brother from another mother and to the fans who have been wondering about Jazzmatazz since his passing.”
