English Rapper M.I.A. Flips the Bird During Super Bowl Performance; NBC and NFL Issue Apology

By: Jake CratesCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Last night (February 6th), U.K. female rapper M.I.A. gave the crowd the middle finger during the Super Bowl Halftime show which has prompted an apology from NBC and the NFL.

The Super Bowl is becoming known for its racy halftime shows.

It was only a few years back that Janet Jackson’s “Nipplegate” with Justin Timberlake caused an outcry around the world.

During last night’s performance though, M.I.A. flipped off the crowd and mouthed the words “I don’t give a f**k.”

While both the NFL and NBC are pointing fingers at each other for not censoring the middle finger fast enough, the NFL placed the blame on NBC.

“There was a failure in NBC’s delay system,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement. “The gesture in the performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing, and we apologize to our fans.”

According to ABC News and Rueters, this might not be the last that M.I.A. or NBC and the NFL hear about the situation.

CBS was fined $550,000 by the FCC for the Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson incident.

Last fall, a federal appeals court ruled against the FCC despite an order from the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case.

The three-judge panel reviewed three decades of FCC rulings and concluded the agency was changing its policy, without warning, by fining CBS for fleeting nudity.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Cee-Lo Heading to Vegas? Reunites with Goodie Mob?

By: ginatorres27Category: Rumors

According to rumors, Cee-Lo is eyeing a permanent residency in Las Vegas! A painful back injury has been plaguing him for a while, making touring very difficult. So why not bring the people to him!?

Cee-Lo has already set up a series of concerts in Sin City as sort of a test run. If all goes well, his fans will be able to see him performing, a la Cher, a few times a week at some snazzy hotel. Is this cheesy or a major come-up for the Goodie Mob member?

Speaking of Goodie Mob, TMZ is reporting that  Cee-Lo reunited with the Mob for a Super Bowl pre-party at an Indianapolis strip club and made it rain $10,000 on the strippers!

Sources say Cee-Lo requested lap dances from “the baddest b*tches in the club.” Glad to see the Goodie Mob back together again. Hopefully they will haul their tails to the studio and crank out another group album soon!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Judge Orders for Bow Wow’s Arrest!

By: ginatorres27Category: Rumors

Looks like Bow Wow needs to book a new movie asap to pay off some of his outstanding bills, or else he may find himself in the slammer! Last week, it was revealed that Bow Wizzle was served with a huge tax lien for owing $126,086.14 in back taxes, and now a judge has ordered for his arrest on site for avoiding a civil lawsuit.

The civil lawsuit was filed back in 2009 by a tour bus company which claims that Bow Wow never paid his bill totalling almost $100,000. Bow Wow was supposed to produce documents in his home state regarding the lawsuit, but he never did.

As a result, the tour company filed a motion to have the rapper held in contempt, and a judge in Georgia wants him arrested on-site. Be careful out there, Bow Wow. The po-po are looking for you!
