Hip-Hop Rumors: Mobb Deep Tag-Teamed Erica Mena? Says Her Rep No Bueno!

“LOVE AND HIP-HOP” – MOBB DEEP AGREES WITH KIMBELLA ON ERICA!

I’m just getting hip to this Erica chick. She’s on “Love and Hip-Hop.” From what I understand, she claims that a fight with Kimbella has ruined her reputation in the entertainment industry. She also alleges that she was misrepresented on the show as well. But, people inside the music game are abuzz that she’s never had such a great rep to begin with. It all starts with my boys from Mobb Deep. They aren’t actually my boys, but I’d like to think they are since they are legends. Continued after, the lovely picture.

But, people inside of the crew hipped me to Erica, too. In Prodigy’s book “My Infamous Life,” he makes mention of Erica. In the book, Havoc of Mobb Deep is “dating” Erica. Meanwhile, the group is at a performance where they are drinking heavily and partying like crazy. P says he was so out of it, he started “talking” to Erica. He said, while…actually before I ruin the story, here it is in P’s words:

On the flip side, Kimbella recently made the shocking allegations to TheYBF.com:

No! The one thing I can tell you is that folks in the industry are saying before “Love & Hip Hop,” she was found stripping in the Valley and giving blow jobs for $200. So that is the career that me and VH1 are ruining?

This is a dirty game, B. LITERALLY. For more, go to TheYBF.com.

Oh man, Diddy sure does live up to his “player” image. doesn’t he!

Last night, Diddy was the perfect family man, hosting a New Year’s Eve party at his home in South Beach with his on again/off again girlfriend Kim Porter. The two have three children together and have been an item so long that we’re sure they qualify as a common law marriage! Diddy and Kim co-hosted the shin-dig together, along with their twin daughters and son.

Unfortunately for Kim, Diddy was busy sending tweets to his rumored girlfriend Cassie. Diddy tweeted @officialcas happy new year baby girl!!!!! 🙂 2012

Back on December 27, poor Cassie tweeted “Love is too complicated for me.” She did not respond to Diddy’s tweet. Wonder if this marks the end for the not-so-undercover lovers?
