Hip-Hop Rumors: Willow and Jaden Smith at the Root of Will and Jada’s Problems?!
This is a loaded rumor right here! In Touch magazine, one of the top gossip rags, is reporting that the careers of Will Smith and Jada’s children are the main reason why they are allegedly getting a divorce.
Apparently, Will and Jada can’t agree on how to manage the blossoming careers of their super stars-in-the-making offspring. Not to mention that Jada has been on the road with Willow for the past two years, and not at home taking care of her man! This is certainly a recipe for disaster.
The magazine is claiming that Jada has already sought the counsel of top divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser. Laura is the epitome of a “pitbull in a skirt” and has represented several celebrities in high profile divorces and garnered them millions! I wonder if these to have a pre-nup? Stay tuned for an official announcement from the pair any day now.
Shakir Stewart’s Mom Launches Empowerment Fund In Son’s Memory
(AllHipHop News) The family of late music executive Shakir Stewart is honoring his memory and legacy, with a new empowerment fund.
Shakir’s mother, Mrs. Portia Labrie and Saint Mary’s College High School have announced the establishment of the Shakir Stewart empowerment fund.
Shakira graduated from St. Mary’s in 1991, where he actively participated in student government and honed his leadership skills.
Those traits surfaced again as he entered into the music business after graduating from Morehouse College.
By the age of 24, Shakir had earned the title of Senior Vice-President of Hitco Music Publishing Company.
His last position was Executive Vice President of Island Def Jam, before he tragically committed suicide in 2008 at the age of 34.
During his short career, Shakir Stewart helped transform pop culture, by signing or discovering artists like Ciara, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross and Beyonce
“With this scholarship, we would like to continue Shakir’s passion for giving by providing students with the opportunity of a Saint Mary’s education,” a rep for The Shakir Stewart Endowment Fund told AllHipHop.com. “This has become the life mission of Shakir’s mother and she is seeking help from all the people that were a part of her son’s
iconic music career.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Kanye’s Mysterious Twitter Pal, Azealia Banks, Goes In On Kreayshawn
So, if you follow @kanyewest on Twitter, last night was quite the tweet-fest from the elusive Chi-Town rapper. He talked about his childhood, his opinions about how “illogical” awards shows are (which almost seemed to trip him up at one point), his Watch The Throne experiences, creating a design firm in his mother’s name, and…summer schools? Things got a little EMO, but he had some hella funny tweets, too:
This is all interesting fodder since Kanye West took a highly-noticed, super-long break from Twitter after some PR disasters/attacks on him in the past. Well, he’s back…in full force! It’s also interesting to note that HE ONLY FOLLOWS FIVE PEOPLE on Twitter vs. the 5.8 million people who follow him. One being Kim Kardashian. Moving on…
Upon further snooping, one person he follows is an interesting young, female MC named Azealia Banks from Harlem. We vaguely know her name, but dang, she MUST be SOMEBODY to get one out of five co-signs from Yeezy!
Anywho, Ms. Banks took to some tweeting of her own last night, and she went in on…rapper KREAYSHAWN! Like this!:
Umm, shots fired??! We don’t know why she has beef, but we think we like this Azealia chick already, so we’ll be watching! Minus the “face-sitting,” she and illseed are on the same page about Kreayshawn!
