Hip-Hop Rumors: Beyonce Spends $300K a Month on Basic Living Expenses?
One of Beyonce’s old accountants is blabbing about her spending habits and claiming that the singer shells out over $300K per month just for basic living expenses. Talk about lifestyles of the rich and famous! Check out the list of Bey’s monthly expenses that was leaked below:
Jet fuel/rental- $75,000 a month
Tribeca NYC apt- $30,000 a month
Publicist Yvette-$10,000 a month
Bodyguard Julius-$8,000 a month (more overseas)
Makeup Artist oncall $2500 a month
Live in Chef $ 7500 a month
Live in maid $ 4000 a month
Personal Accountant 4000 month
Dereon Accountant 3000 a month
Manager (matthew) $!!!100,000 a month!!!
Personal asst Angela $5000 a month
Personal Trainer: $7000 a month
Dietician: Max $4000/month upon diet change
Car detailing and driver: $7000 a month
Pocket cash on hand $50,000 a month (she spent it all EVERY MONTH)
That all comes to a whopping $317,000 in monthly expenses! But my eagle eye does see a few things on there that she no longer carries…like her father is no longer her manager, she manages herself now, and she recently sold that Tribeca apartment. So that brings her expenses down to about $187,000 per month, which is still an exuberant amount of money.
Well, I guess Beyonce is recession proof!

SXSW Artist XV: Proof That There are Indeed Black People in Kansas
Warner Bros. traveled far and wide to find their next rap star-in-the-making. And they found him in the enthusiastic XV, an MC who hails from – of all places – Kansas.
Yes, there are Black people in Kansas, XV wants you to know from the start. The Midwestern states are filled with them; in fact, enough that promoters staked their claims on XV for the recent “Midwest State of Mind Tour.” There, along with his roadies, he can seen wearing Halloween masks (when it’s nowhere near Halloween) and crowd-jumping with the best of the young, rap set.
AllHipHop.com caught up with XV recently to hear more about his tour and his plans to wow the crowds in the coming weeks and months. Check the interview below:
And, yes, the XV stands for the Roman numeral for 15, and he wants you to be curious about what that stands for. It’s the age he began his quest for music stardom, and a reminder to him daily that at 26, he still has years ahead of him. In the meantime, catch XV at SXSW next week during The Warner Sound Showcase on Thursday, March 15, where he’ll be in good company with artists like T.I., B.o.B., Wale, Meek Mill, Stalley, Curren$y, Kirko Bangz, Snow Tha Product, and DJ Drama.

Game Granted Appeal In $5 Million Defamation Case
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Game has caught a break in a $5 million defamation case, as a judge recently granted the rapper an appeal.
Game, born Jayceon Taylor, was on the losing end of a defamation of character lawsuit filed by five Greensboro police officers, who arrested the rapper in the Four Seasons Mall in October of 2005.
Game was in the Four Seasons Mall filming a segment for his DVD “Stop Snitchin’, Stop Lyin,” when security asked him to leave, in part, because he was wearing a Halloween mask.
Game was eventually arrested for criminal trespassing, communicating threats and disorderly conduct.
The footage ended up on the DVD, which was sold nationwide in 2005 and 2006.
In February, a judge ruled in favor of officers Hein Nguyen, Matthew Brown, Ryan Childrey, Romaine Watkins and David Gregory, in part because Game failed to show at several critical hearings.
They were awarded a judgement against the rapper that totaled $5 million.
Last week in the North Carolina County Appeals Court, a judge granted Game’s request for an appeal.
While the judge agreed that Game would be responsible for paying the officers, the amount of the judgment is being contested.
“We must remand the judgment to the trial court so that it may consider whether the evidence of that aggravating factor met the required standard of proof, and so that the judgment may be amended to reflect its determination on this issue,” the court ruled.
The case will soon go to a jury, who will determine the amount of damages Game must pay.
