Hip-Hop Rumors: Gucci Mane, Beyonce, Fails And Random Other Crap!

GUCCI GETS OFF EASY!

If you push somebody out of a moving car, you are probably going to pay a steep price. Gucci Mane…not so much. Here is what TMZ is saying:

Gucci Mane learned the hard way … DO NOT shove a woman out of a moving Hummer … because that woman will sue you and then a judge will order you to cough up almost $60,000 in punitive damages.

Gucci was arrested in 2011 after he allegedly pushed a woman named Diana Graham out of a moving Hummer — all because she refused to go to a hotel room with him. He pled guilty to several charges and was sentenced to six months in jail.

Diana then sued the rapper for damages following the incident … claiming mental anguish, pain and emotional distress.

A Georgia judge recently ruled in her favor … a default judgement because Gucci failed to show up in court and submitted false testimony. The judge awarded Diana $58,161.24 for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering.

The judge also signed an order allowing Diana to go after the rapper’s cars, bank accounts and other assets to settle her debt.

Calls to Gucci’s rep have not been returned.

BEYONCE AND AN KIM: NO BEEF!

According to the Huffington Post, there is and wasn’t ever any beef between Beyonce and Kim Kardashian. As you recall, they were saying that B had to son Kim at the Made In America tour for trying to get chummy with director Ron Howard. They report:

A source who knows both Kim Kardashian and Beyonce tells The Huffington Post, “Anyone who knows Kim can tell you that she doesn’t even talk like that. She never saw Ron Howard that day and no such conversation ever took place — between Kim and Ron Howard or Kim and Beyonce. Beyonce and Kim have gotten along perfectly since the very first day that they met. They have no reason to not get along. The person who came up with this story has a very wild imagination.”

SHAQ TO DO…COMEDY?

SNOOP DEFENDS OBAMA!

This ain’t no rumor, but Snoop Lion took a moment to defend the Pres while promoting his reggae album.

“I mean Bush [screwed] up for eight years. It ain’t like y’all gave him a clean house,” explained Snoop, all in white, from toe to tam. “Y’all gave him a house where the TV didn’t work, the toilet was stuffed up – everything was wrong with the house.”

Mitt Romney about to take that L.
Sad…BUT STUPID!

A dude was freaking driving drunk and tweeted “YOLO” before crashing his car, killing four others. Man. Wow.
The full report and then the tweets:

ONTARIO, Calif. (KABC) — Five people were killed in a car accident in Ontario after the driver blew through a red light early Sunday morning.

Gucci Mane Ordered To Pay $60k To Woman Pushed From Hummer

(AllHipHop News) Gucci Mane’s altercation with a woman in Atlanta in 2011 will cost him over six figures in punitive damages.

A judge has ordered Gucci to pay almost $60,000 to a woman named Diana Graham, who was pushed out of the rapper’s moving Hummer in January of 2011, after she refused a proposition for sex.

In October of 2011, Gucci Mane pled guilty and eventually served six months in jail for his role in the incident.

Graham eventually sued Gucci for mental anguish, pain and emotional distress.

TMZ.com reports that Graham won a default judgment, because Gucci Mane failed to show up in court, in addition to submitting false testimony.

If Gucci Mane does not settle the debt, Diana Graham has a court order that allows her to seize the rappers assets, including bank accounts, cars to settle the debt.

EXCLUSIVE: Usher, Producers Accused Of Stealing Hit Single “Caught Up”

(AllHipHop News) A group of songwriters has filed a lawsuit against Usher, Arista Records and the producers of the hit single “Caught Up.”

Zacharia L. Edwards, Mitch Moses and Vince McLean filed the lawsuit on September 7 in United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

The songwriters claim they wrote the musical composition for “Caught Up,” which consisted of original material.

The lawsuit claims that in October 2002, the trio met with Michael Barackman, senior director of A&R at Arista Records.

They played the music Barackman, who wanted to play the song for L.A. Reid and Mark Pitts, who were looking for material for Usher’s new album.

In 2004, Usher’s album Confessions was released with substantial similarities to the original version, according to the complaint.

When Moses and McLean brought it to the attention of representatives of the label, they were allegedly threatened with being black balled from the music industry.

“An ordinary lay observer could listen to the two musical compositions at issue, and given the theme, melody, hook, lyrics and chorus, reasonably find that the two songs are substantially similar and that and a friend and infringement has occurred,” the lawsuit reads.

Zacharia L. Edwards, Mitch Moses and Vince McLean are suing for copyright infringement and seek an undetermined amount of damages.
