(AllHipHop News)A highly anticipated biopic about Jimi Hendrix’s life in Europe that was to star Andre 3000, could be delayed by the late singer’s estate.

Experience Hendrix LLC issued a statement to the Wall Street Journal, stating that the movie “All Is By My Side,” could not be made without their full participation.

The flick is supposed to start shooting later this month at locations in Ireland.

“Experience Hendrix has made it known many times in the past that no such film, were it to include original music or copyrights created by Jimi Hendrix, can be undertaken without its full participation.”

Jimi Hendrix’s sister Janie Hendrix, who is the CEO of the famed singer’s estate, has not ruled out a biopic about the singer in the future.

A number of Jimi Hendrix’ memorable hits are included on his debut album, Are You Experienced, which was created during the time period that the Andre 3000’s movie would have focused on.

They were not clear if “All Is By My Side” starring Andre 3000, would include any original material created by Jimi Hendrix.

“Experience Hendrix CEO Janie Hendrix, sister of Jimi Hendrix, and the EH board have not ruled out a ‘biopic’ in the future though producing partners would, out of necessity, have to involve the company from the inception of any such film project if it is to include original Jimi Hendrix music or compositions.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Drake And Chris Brown Diss Rihanna In New Track! Breezy Says “Every Industry N*gga Done Had Her”

While it seemed like Chris Brown and Rihanna had reconciled a few months ago when they collaborated on two tracks together, it looks like the honeymoon is over. Last night, Chris Brown tweeted a freestlye over Kanye’s “Theraflu” instrumental, and it sure does look like he’s taking a dig at Rihanna. Check out the lyrics and the track below:

Don’t f**k with my old b-tch it’s like a bad fur
Every industry n***a done had her
Shook the tree like a pumpkin just to smash her
B-tch is breaking codes, but I’m the password

After Breezy tweeted the link, Rihanna unfollowed her ex and commented: “Aw, poor dat #neaux1currr.” Anyone know what that means?

It has come out recently that Rihanna was dating Meek Mill, after already being linked to Drake. Could that have put Chris Brown over the edge? Or, could it have been all of the shade Rihanna was throwing his girlfriend Karrueche’s way on Twitter?

In related news, Drake may have also gotten tired of chasing after Rihanna. He just released a song with 2 Chainz titled “No Lie”, that seems to be dissing Rihanna and calling her out as a jumpoff as well. Check out the lyrics below:

“She came through, she brought food/She got f—ed, she knew wassup /She think I’m the realest out /And I say “damn, that makes two of us” /Oh that look like what’s her name /Chances are it is whats her name /Chances are, if she was acting up /Then I f–ked her once and never f—ed again /She could have a Grammy, I still treat that *ss like a nominee /Just need to know what that p—y like so one time, it’s fine with me”

Damn, Rihanna, all of your dudes are turning on you. Maybe it’s time to slow down, baby!

(AllHipHop News) After the enormous success that YMCMB recording artist Drake had on the first run of his “Club Paradise Tour” last year, the Toronto native wasted no time putting together a second U.S. leg that recently kicked off in Concord, California.

Drake is now giving undiscovered and up-and-coming artists the opportunity of a lifetime, as they can now compete to open for him on 20 “Club Paradise Tour” dates if they win a currently running contest.

The nine-time Grammy Award-nominated rapper and singer has partnered up with RHHN and OurStage for the contest that will have its winner chosen in the next week and performing on 20-dates beginning on May 17.

Contest entries may be submitted until May 11 at OurStage and will later be judged and voted on by fans through May 15, at which point Drake, RHHN and OurStage will select a winner to appear on the tour.

The first “Club Paradise Tour,” which took place during early 2012 featured opening acts like Chase N. Cashe, A$AP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar. This time around, Drake has assembled even more MC’s with J. Cole, Meek Mill, 2 Chainz, French Montana, and Waka Flocka all joining him on the road.

In addition, MTV caught up with Drake at his tour opener last week in Concord, California, where he briefly spoke on the potential lineup for this year’s highly-anticipated OVO Festival in Toronto. Past festivals have seen artists like Stevie Wonder, Nas and Rick Ross grace the stage.

“The lineup this year is kinda a mash-up of everybody,” Drake said. “That’s the most important show of the year to me, OVO Fest, so I’m hoping that we really make it special this year. The premise of OVO Fest is you never know who you gonna see.”
