Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao may have made the fight if the reports are any indication. Furthermore, the deal is worth a reported $250 million.
Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao have agreed to a blockbuster deal, but Money May has yet to sign on the dotted line, reports say.
“Manny has 100 percent signed his side of the deal. It is now over to Mayweather to close the deal and announce the fight, “ a source told the Telegraph Sport.
An announcement is expected in the near future, but this is what was said around the same time as the Super Bowl.
At this point, the two pugilists could still make a fight in time for the set date of May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Kansas City based hip-hop/pop artist Johnny Williamz has come out full force making a promise to release new music every other Wednesday.

It gets 50 Shades of Trey in “Slow Motion,” the latest release of Trey Songz’ Trigga album. These sensual visuals directed by Dre Films were the perfect way to bring in Valentine’s Day. Even better, Trey Songz announces he’ll be dropping a follow-up, Trigga Reloaded on April 14th.
On Valentine’s Day, while many are in New York for All Star Weekend, Diggy Simmons takes a long walk down the Brooklyn Bridge in his new video for “Fall” off his forthcoming Out Of This World project.
(AllHipHop News) Azealia Banks and Erykah Badu got into a Twitter exchange today. The back-and-forth stemmed from a fan asking Badu if she listened to Banks’ music, and the “On & On” singer simply replied “tried.”
Banks saw the tweet and went back at Badu by claiming the statement was a sign of “jealousy.” The two performers ended the social media conversation seeming to have settled any issues between them.
Last night at Sprite’s NBA All-Star Gane Concert, Drake covered Kanye West’s new singles “Only One” and “FourFiveSeconds”. The OVO leader even brought out Kanye West to perform “Don’t Like”.

The official headliner of the show is Arianna Grande, but don’t sleep on this hint.
It’s been a year and three days since the legendary singer, Whitney Houston, passed away. Three years later, it seems like the Houston (and Brown) name isn’t getting any better news since Bobbi Kristina Brown is struggling for her life. Fortunately, Houston’s legendary name in music still lives on and oddly inspires artists like iLoveMakonnen. Recently, the OVO musician released a cover of Houston’s classic song “I Will Always Love You”. It might not be as melodic as the original, but Makonnen still provides the classic with a serious tone, adding a slideshow full of pictures to make the vibes more emotional. Check out the remake below.
Look at what TMZ is reporting? I don’t know about TMZ…they said the Floyd/Manny fight was made, that Bobbi Kristina was coming off life support and now this.
A brawl erupted between a group of guys who picked a f!ght with Rick Ross and Meek Mill at a club Friday night … so claim eyewitnesses who say the rappers got physical during the “All Star” weekend scuffle.
The eyewitnesses say the guys who picked the f!ght seemed to object to Ross and Mill being on their turf at NYC’s Liberty Theatre.
We’re told Meek threw a few punches and Rick seemed to confine his activity to pushing. On the other hand, we’re told Rick’s bodyguards took care of business.
Ross was hosting the party and in the video you see Rozay standing near the f!ght.
The party was also attended by Oklahoma City Thunder player Dion Waiters.

Recently, Cookin Soul made a surprising mashup using Toro Y Moi’s single “Day One” with Prodigy of Mobb Deep’s single “Keep It Thoro”.

Check out the remix below.
**Before I proceed to be stunned and shocked, these are allegations and not fact. The fact that there is a video, makes this all the more…amazing. Here you go….”
What the…
Just look at the video.
I’m out.
By the way, this is not to be confused with ChaseGod, who is allegedly looking to marry a Tranny. Both are allegedly down with Rich Gang. These guys are a crew…
The Jordan party was off the chain I heard! I also heard that a little guy named Prince had big interest in Tahiry. There’s not much more to that other than I can’t wait to see what Joe Budden says. Just to be clear, I have no idea what may or may not have happened. I don’t think anything, to be real. The mere thought that Prince likes – or is aware of – a cool regular-type chick like Tahiry is really interesting to me. Anyway. Last night, Prince performed to a star studded crowd that included Michael Jordan, Chris Rock, Questlove, Rosario Dawson, Nas and Queen Latifah.
I cannot lie. It is WAY to early for me to be all in the rumors like this, but in the Ill Community there is a whole post on Wale’s issue with a transsexual / transvestite woman. First of all, we can officially – with expeditiousness – let you know that Wale is not having relations with trannies and there’s nothing in the information of this to suggest he is. He may have some other issues with a young lady named Marilyn MonDROe, however. But, a woman looking to “EXPOSE ME AND WALE HAVING SEX???” is a bit silly. I think its mostly some chick that wants the rapper to recognize her. But, there seems to be a pay for play allegation here.
For everything, go to The IC.
I don’t know if this is going to be some sort of re-occurring stuff, but over there on the other side, it looks like Rich Gang has a dude that officially looks like marry Chingy’s worst nightmare. Click here to read that whole situation.
Connecticut rapper Richie dropped his mixtape “Last of A Dead Breed.” The mixtape spawned his latest single entitled “My Mind” thats perfect timing for Valentines Day. Check out the track below and be sure to check for his tape available now.
With Valentines Day in the rearview mirror E-Lumni drops off his track “Over You” that is reminicent of Nelly and Tim McGraw’s track that took over the Hip-Hop/Country airwaves.
Either this is the biggest hoax since Milli Vanilli or hip-hop is about to enter its final frontier—an up and coming rapper who’s signed to a quasi-major label (in this case, Rich Gang) dating, screwing and marrying a transgender man woman openly and not giving a f**k what we think!
Enter Cash money affiliate—Birdman cosigned—Rich Gang signed rapper “ChaseGod.” According to Mediatakeout and his Instagram, ChaseGod is dating and about to marry transgender dancer/rapper/singer/rapper career killer (just ask Chingy!) Sidney Starr. Both ChaseGod and Sidney Starr boast & post about their mutual love for one another on Instagram.
If this relationship is really on the up-n-up, we should officially consign ourselves to the fact that hip-hop/rap is (openly) gay! Indeed, for me, this is the culmination of eight years of blogging in support of gays in hip-hop—eight years of traveling that lonely road of free-thought with few cosigners. I’m tickled pink! (How gay of me!)
I wrote a blog about Miss Starr three years ago entitled, “Tranny Sidney Starr Looks Better Than Your Girlfriend!” (see The Khalil Amani Reader: http://khalilamani.ning.com/profiles/blogs/tranny-sidney-star-looks… ) Oh, it’s true! I’ve seen some of the thots y’all be claiming as “bae” on Social Media. (Your chick looks like she went to a chain fight and forgot to bring her chain! Got the nerve to be hating on Sidney! F.O.H.!) Indeed, Sidney Starr looks every bit female/woman. I’m not sure if she still has her hanglow penis—walking around here swinging long & strong, but rapper ChaseGod is about this (trans) life—apparently.
Some have said there has been a lot of gayness and suspect activity in the Cash Money/RichGang family, dating back to the infamous Baby/Lil Wayne lip-smacking kiss—to Baby’s newest protégé Young thug, the girl-dress-wearing-I-call-my-homies-“bae”-and-would-get-t###-if-I-went-to-jail-rapper—and now, allegedly, apparently this guy, rapper ChaseGod.
Like Young Thug, judging by ChaseGod’s exterior, he’s on some other ish with his fashion sensibilities. This ni99a wears women’s gaudy earrings, a woman’s mink stole and a pearl necklace! (Maybe there is something to Lord Jamar’s effeminization & emasculation of the black man? I may have to revisit this issue.) The Freudian in me sees the double entendre in his choice of bling-bling. I remember when a “pearl necklace” meant shooting a load all over a chick’s face & neck! What is ChaseGod subliminally saying to the world by wearing a pearl necklace? And is the “P” on his chest for “pu$$y” or “punk?” Maybe I’m just reaching…
All I know is this—watching these younguns turn hip-hop/rap on its (gay) head gives me a devious kind of pleasure! And to think; I started all of this gay s###! LOL!
The ignorance in hiphop/rap is astounding! Did you read what rapper Young Thug said about not listening to Jay Z? This skinny b####-de-fied rapper said (and I quote):
“If you’re 30, 40 years old, you’re not getting listened to by minors… Like, Jay Z has some of the sickest lyrics ever, but I would never buy his CD, just because of my age. By the time I turn that old, I ain’t gonna be doing what he’s doing.” I don’t want to be 50 years old and rapping, man. I’m pretty sure nobody wants to do that. I’m pretty sure Jay Z don’t wanna rap right now.”
Where do I start?
Can you imagine a young Wynton Marsalis not wanting to listen to trumpeters Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie & Miles Davis—or saxophonist Gerald Albright not wanting to listen to Charlie “Birdman” Parker & John Coltrane—or R&B singers D’Angelo, Chris Brown, Usher, Neyo, Beyonce, & K Michelle not wanting to listen to Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Luther Vandross, Al Green & Marvin Gaye—just ‘cause they’re from another era, another generation, old?
Thee audacity!
I vividly remember as a child listening, but not listening to some of my dad’s records—Jimmy Smith’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf,” Dave Brubeck’s “Time Out”—and a shed-load of other records that grown folk were listening to during the 60’s/70’s that we kids considered “Old Folk Music.” Today I own vinyl copies of the aforementioned and realize that pop had exquisite taste in music. When I grew up and had kids, I made sure they listened to all the classic R&B, Jazz, Rock and even “Golden Age Rap” songs and now I can proudly say that one of my children grew up to be a professional musician.
Young Thug is what’s wrong with rap music! How dare you think, feel or believe that young people won’t and don’t buy Jay Z’s music because he’s older! Newsflash! I’ll be 55 years old in a few months and I know who your monstrunky a$$ is Young Thug! I love “Danny Glover” and “Stoner” goes hard! I’d buy your album if you have at least four (4) great songs on it. Age has no bearing on what I purchase! I love great music from young and old/er alike!
Jay Z is still making hit records! His albums are classics and timeless! You’ve implied that Jay Z has to make records. Yes you did! What do you mean, “I’m pretty sure Jay Z don’t wanna rap right now?” By extrapolation, in your puny mind, you think Jay Z needs the money or just wants to stay relevant. SMH. Yo! Young Thug! Jay & Bey are just about billionaires! Can you dig that? Billionaires!!!!! Jay Z has more money than your boss, Birdman! He raps because he’s a musician!
Artistry doesn’t die and neither do real artists chase coins! Artists do art for the love of the art! When you see old-ass rockin’ rollers still performing—they’re doing it because art dictates that they do art! There is no age limit on doing art—save (accept) in hip-hop where ignant ni**as like Young Thug think the “Jay Zs” of the world should put down the microphone.
The idea that rap is a “young man’s sport” may have some truth, but it is not an absolute truth. At some point (when he gets older) “Young” Thug will become “Thug” (without the Young)—and then Thug’s career may flounder and he’ll need a “Hug” (without the T)—and if “Hug” tries to continue rapping beyond his allotted “Fifteen Minutes of Fame”—the “H” may somersault to the back of his name (when we hear his music) and we’ll start calling him, “Ugh!”—as in, your music sucks!
Jeffrey Williams a.k.a. Young Thug—sitcho black a$$ down somewhere! You ain’t put nann album out yet and your mixtape is just aiiight. You’d better pray that anyone even wants to hear you rap at 50! And speaking of old-ass rappers—why you got your boss, Baby, who, by the way is older than Jay Z rapping on your song/video? As the great ghetto failure Suge Knight once said to Puff Daddy, “To all you artists out there, who don’t wanna be on a record label where the executive producer’s [Birdman, in this case] all on the records, dancin’ [rapping, in this case], come to Death Row!” Birdman can’t (really) rap! Get his old-ass off the record/screen! And while I’m on the Cash Money mogul, tha hell you doin’ to your “son?” The lil dude you boldly kissed on the mouf? Lil Wayne? You think Young Thug is your new pu$$y now? He will never do Wayne numbers!
I dig your fashion sensibilities, even being bold enough to wear a lil girl’s dress, but your commentary proves that you’re not a true artist. You’re a ni**a chasing fame & fortune. If you’re really about this hip-hop/rap life you’d be encouraging the young to pick up Jay Z and the like! You’d be sounding the trumpet of ageless music! You’d be like my dad—making the younger listen to that classic ish that gave rap its footing. And what do you know about old-a$$ “Danny Glover?” Ah! So you’ve been paying attention, eh? Now stop will the b####### commentary, because you really don’t have a clue what the young are bootlegging buying, just like you didn’t know a 55 year old knows your music! PS. Me & Prince been wearing the “Poet Shirt” long before you! That’s old people ish!
I was hoping for mad drama around this rumor, but it looks like Drake still has an obligation to Cash Money Records after this If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late album. HipHipWired chatted with an unnamed source over there at…somewhere…it didn’t specify Cash Money or Universal or the secretary…they said it is NOT an official Cash Money release. I figured it meant something since it says “2015 Cash Money Records” in small print. Nevertheless this weird IYRTITL title isn’t even the title of the album that is titled that. Weird. From Tha 6 is apparently the album title. I see Drake! Hustling!
