The Big Brothers Big Sisters VIP reception will take place on Tuesday, January 22 at the Marriott Mayflower Renaissance from 6 to 8 PM.
Well, it looks like everything is off the table now. Whoever has the biggest guns, crew and all of that is over. The word on the streets is that Coco cheated and its all coming out. Well, we pretty much knew that, but I think people were hoping that, for Ice’s sake, it wasn’t true. But, they are shopping pics for sale, and teasing possible customers with pics. I still don’t know if they will get a lot of money for them but they are here. There are pics of this white dude (explained later down in the HSK exclusive) and AP.9 clutching the booty of Coco.
See…
Ice gotta nip this in the bud.
Here is the report from Jackie Jasper:
HSK Exclusive – The former manager of one Las Vegas nightclub – reported to be the setting for Coco’s secret date with rapper AP.9 – seems to be pulling rank over the newly named Peepshow headliner. That’s because an image of Mustafa Abdi – aka Moose Diesel – grabbing Coco’s backside is something Mrs. Ice T failed at trying to order off of Twitter. According to our sources, the Coco-grabbing shot of Moose (ARIA Resort & Casino’s Haze Nightclub former manager) was taken while Coco, AP.9, Moose Diesel, and a few members from the cast of Ice Loves Coco partied the night away at the Sin City hot spot. We’re told it was only after Moose posted the pic to his Twitter account when Coco deemed the image as “not a good look”. Here’s what AP.9′s homey, Moose Diesel, had to say in response to Coco’s plea: “It’s not a good look for you, not me . You knew what you were doing when you took the pic.” Here’s what AP.9 exclusively revealed to HSK: “I took Coco out on a date to Haze nightclub. She brought some friends…some of the crew from Ice Loves Coco even showed up too! We had a steamy one night stand. I hate being called a liar…cuz I’m not.” Is AP.9 going to blow up after he releases his new song with R. Kelly? I don’t know, but I do know three scandalous pictures of Coco and AP.9 (attached to polygraph test results) are currently on the mainstream media bidding table. Don’t believe me.. Ask Barry Levine.
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.

(AllHipHop News) Pharrell Williams has filed a lawsuit against Diageo North America, over a deal to market and distribute the superstar rapper/producers brand of liquor.
Pharrell Williams PW Licensing LLC filed the lawsuit against Diageo North America last week, in Manhattan federal court.
The lawsuit claims that Diageo failed to produce and distribute his “Q Qream” alcoholic beverage, which was supposed to be a high-end drink marketed towards women.
The lawsuit claims that in July 2012, Diageo informed Williams that they would be shutting down the Q Qream business, without warning, after two years of building the brand.
“PW turned away other concrete opportunities to collaborate with other alcoholic beverage distributors on a partnership, in favor of proceeding with Diageo,” the lawsuit reads.
Pharrell Williams claims that sales of his Q Qream liquor were “substantially lower” because it was marketed as a “club drink” and not the “high-end, leisure class” drink that he envisioned Q Qream to be.
The lawsuit also claims that Diageo manufactured bottles of Q Qream that had faulty tops, impacting bartenders and consumers willingness to use the product.
(AllHipHop News) Last week A$AP Worldwide artist A$AP Ferg signed a deal with Polo Grounds Music/RCA Records.
His lead single “Work” has been added to rotation on two of New York’s biggest Hip-Hop radio stations Hot 97.1 and Power 105.1, which will be available on iTunes on January 22nd.
“I’m just proud right now because this is everything we wished and hoped for,” A$AP Rocky said about Ferg’s signing. “A$AP Ferg worked hard for this and I put all my faith and backing into him. I feel like ‘Work’ is our generation’s “Sippin On Some Syrup” [Three 6 Mafia feat. UGK] or “Chickenhead” [Project Pat feat. La Chat & Three 6 Mafia], it has that feeling.”
“Work” was produced by up-and-comers Chinza & Fly for the “Lords Never Worry” mixtape, and was followed with a self-released video that has already amassed over 1.3 million views on Youtube.
In addition to his musics, A$AP F3RG is currently promoting his self-owned Trap Lord clothing brand.

We went from “All In The Family” to “All My Baby Mamas.” DAMN! Archie won.
YEAP!!!! Good luck, Shawty, but I am hearing that the show “All My Baby Mamas” may not see the light of day. There are a lot of public, very outright forces that want it dead but there are also she very behind-the-scenes forces as well. They all strive for it to to be ended and I am hearing that Oxygen will soon cave on it. I find that interesting since “reality” TV has never seemed to have a cap on ratchetness. But now, it does. I personally think they need to work even harder to ban these damn shows….I should host a judge show for reality shows or something. Judge, jury and executioner.
Maybe in true Hip-Hop form – the urban roots of the Wayans family have eroded from our collective memory. But those that lived it remember when Keenan Wayans employed KRS-One and Boogie Down Productions for “Jack of Spades” or the overt rap overtones of “In Living Color.” And in 1996, Shawn and Marlon starred in a full-feature parody called “Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking your Juice in the Hood.” Now, as he releases his first indie flick, A Haunted House, Marlon Wayans talks about Hip-Hop and his ties to it. Oh, and why he considers Kanye West a genius. AllHipHop’s Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur gets clowned a bit in the process.
AllHipHop.com: A few years ago, you did a movie called “Don’t Be A Menace While Drinking Your Juice In South Central.”
Marlon Wayans: (blank stare, audience explodes into laughter) Who did that movie?
AllHipHop.com: …Juice in the Hood…something like that.
[Editor’s note (which happens to be the author of this piece): The exact title of the 1996 cult classic is “Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking your Juice in the Hood”]
Marlon Wayans: You f**ked the whole title up. “Drinking the scary juice while dating white chicks…walking a lil’ man in a haunted house. What’s that like?”
AllHipHop.com: In my opinion, you kind of forecasted what Hip-Hop looks like now, a parody of its former self.
Marlon Wayans: …you gotta get Trinidad James in there somehow. [audience laughs.] “Gold all in my hair.”
AllHipHop.com: How do you feel about being a prophet of what Hip-Hop would eventually become.
Marlon Wayans: I don’t know about being prophet. You just kinda of do stuff, you see things. You notice the ridiculousness of where [Hip-Hop] goes and you’re like, “IT WON’T GO THERE.” And your realize, “Oh s**t! It actually went there!” I think we were very in tune with the Hip-Hop generation. I think Chris Rock was another one when he did [another parody] “CB4.” You know, we love the culture of Hip-Hop. Born and raised. My heart beats to Hip-Hop. So wherever it goes…I’m not going to be that dude that’s going to be like, “Hip-Hop is this [does a human beat box].” No, its not. It changes and it evolves. And I look at my kids and I’m like, “So, you like ‘Gold up in my hair…?” And I’m like, “Ok, cool.” [Giving another stare of bewilderment] And so I listen. Its funny, because if you listen enough, you get the heartbeat of this generation.
I don’t want to be that guy that just sticks to what I know, because I think we have to embrace the evolution for the old school cats to make it something different. You have to be a student of all. I wish the kids of today were students of the history of music, in general. Don’t just do beats. Learn how to play the drums, learn how to plan an instrument, then learn how to do a beat. And then that beat will be insane. Like, to me, Kanye is a genius. He knows music. You know?
UPDATE: Superhead said, “But this baby in my stomach, my secret. How would I tell my husband? How would I tell my lover? My martian?”
Is she pregnant? The internets are talking about the possibility that Lil Wayne knocked up Superhead. Remember, she was all over the Net recently all “woe is me” and heart broken over Wayne. I will tell you this is nothing but a shame, if you ask me. I think she is just making a play for another book. But what do I know? Nothing.

A few months ago, there were other rumors, if you remember.
(AllHipHop News) Philly rapper Young Chris took the time to sit with AllHipHop.com for an exclusive interview, as he records his new album Alive.
Young Chris is the flagship artist on producer Rico Love’s Division 1 label, which is distributed by Universal/Motown.
“It’s a blessing first off for people to still embrace me, to be anticipating my solo project after 15 years,” said Young Chris, who was signed to Jay-Z, Damon Dash and Kareem “Biggs” Burke’s Roc-A-Fella Records, as a member of The Young Gunz, with Neef Buck.
“I think I got 15 years in right now, [I] met Jay and them around 14, 15,” Young Chris told AllHipHop.com. “[Now] it’s a blessing to work with Rico.”
Young Chris, who was recently featured on Meek Mill’s#### single “Welcome To My House Party,” is almost finished Alive, which will land in stores this Spring.
“We [are] shooting for the album in May so we drop that single now, get on the road work it, do what we got to do. Club dates to arenas,” said Young Chris, who has recorded songs with Slim from 112, Fabolous, Kelly Rowland, Mario and others.
