Mona Scott-Young has confirmed that we can expect a Love & Hip-Hop Expansion to another city after all the rumors we’ve been hearing. Necole Bitchie caught up with the mogul and asked what was what. She responded with this:

“Of course New York starts up again October 28, so I am excited about that, and I am casting in a few other cities. There’s been a lot of chit chat on the interweb about that. I’m looking at L.A., I’m looking at Houston, looking at New Orleans. Yeah, we’re going to find another city to spread our wings into.”

She’s playing coy but we know she’ll go with the cast that has the most ratchet potential. I’m thinking it might boil down to New Orleans.

In related rumors, Karruechee Tran says she won’t be a part of Love & Hip-Hop LA.

Kanye West Explains Bringing Jesus on Stage, Illuminati, “Corporate” Voice + More (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West is back doing interviews again and that means more polarizing soundbites have surfaced. In a recent interview with San Francisco The JV Show. 

According to Kanye, his wife-to-be Kim Kardashian even had her questions about him portraying Jesus on stage, which Kanye answered in a way only Kanye West can:

I had a friend of mine that is a pastor there as we were discussing how we were going to do it. My girl even asked afterwards “isnt that weird if Jesus comes on stage or something like that?” No we do plays all the time where people play Jesus. What’s awesome about Christianity is that we are allowed to portray God.

One of the major debates that arose from Kanye’s portrayal of Jesus was his portrayal of the biblical figure as a White man. Kanye used that controversy as a point to finally address the constant implications of him being apart of the Illuminati.

The distractions are working. They try to distract your talking about some ‘That’s Illuminati’. Do anybody know what the Illuminati is supposed to be? What are you talking about right now?

Check out the three parts of the interview below:

Hip-Hop Rumors: K. Michelle and Erica Mena Beefing Over Rich Dollaz?

By: Friday Foster Updated Category: Rumors

There’s a lot of words on the street when it comes to the Love & Hip-Hop franchise but I overheard something else that I needed to share. We already know that K. Michelle and Erica Mena have some beef going on. It’s so bad that they can barely be in the same room with each other but the whispers are saying that Erica popped off because she thought Rich was trying to move in on her on-off again man/manager Rich Dollaz.

We know that K. Michelle can saaaaang and Rich is a smart guy when he wants to be so when it got back to Erica that Rich may have been talking business with K. Michelle, she wanted to put the kabosh on that early (since we know that Rich likes to mix business with pleasure) and took it out on K. Michelle.

In fact, this seems to be a recurring cycle now in the Rich/Erica saga but K. Michelle ain’t thinking about Rich romantically or from a business standpoint.

That’s all I heard but I guess we’ll have to see what happens when Love & Hip-Hop returns.

Hip-Hip Rumors: Look Who Is Dissing Kanye West And Kendrick Lamar

Hopsin is running rampant again. He’s got a dope new video called “Hopin Is Back” and it co-stars his doo-rap. He went hard and then took a hard left on Kanye and Kendrick. He basically says that Yeezus was some BS and that Kanye overstepped his bounds. On Kendrick, he basically pops of some funny lyrics about his height and whatever.

Here are the lyrics:

I gotta problem yo’
I was ecstatic to buy Yeezus
But I burned it first
Heard it and snapped in 5 pieces
Man Kanye on that bullsh*t!
That’s why the paparazzi made that ni**a hit his f**king head that’s what that fool get
You think you god now you half assin rap little fa**ot b**ch
Perhaps you suffered brain damage back when you had that accident?
But most importantly, hip hop isn’t dead no more you see
Cause Kendrick took the bar and raised it up higher for MCs
Unfortunately the little ni**a like 4 ft 3, the guys a fu**in’ midget
His high is still really short to meet

Kanye just got engaged to Kim Kardashian…he ain’t thinking about this!

Hop’s dissed a lot of people like Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Odd Future so this is like his mantra even though he’s dope.

“They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!” -illseed.

(AllHipHop News) The case surrounding the murder of rapper Lil Phat has more twists and turns than an episode of Law and Order: SVU. The latest revelation comes in the form of video of accused killer and FBI informant Mani Chulpayuev appearing with Phat (born Melvin Vernell III) weeks before the rapper was gunned down in an Atlanta hospital parking lot in 2012.

WSB got access to the footage of a television show pilot featuring Chulpayuev. In the clip the owner of a luxury car rental service can be seen introducing Phat to the camera and calling him “one of his good customers.” The former Russian mobster claims the video is evidence that he had no ill will toward Phat and had no reason to kill him.

Authorities believe Phat was murdered in a killing-for-hire plot over stolen drugs. Four other men, including Chulpayuev’s business partner Decensae White, were also charged in Phat’s killing.

Chulpayuev is accused of providing GPS information of the car Phat was driving to the hired gunmen, but he has denied any involvement with the shooting. It was revealed last month that Chulpayuev was an active federal informant tasked with gathering information for suspected drug dealers.
