  • Michael Jordan And Steph Curry Get Mentioned By Kanye West In Controversial Tweet

    Rapper Kanye West has made another controversial Twitter post this Sunday in which he compared himself to two NBA stars: Michael Jordan and Steph Curry.

    Kanye West is known for his crazy Twitter rants especially when his latest album The Life of Pablo came out. Just earlier this week, he tweeted to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, asking the social media exec to invest $1 billion into his music because he is the “greatest living artist.” This time around, he mentioned legendary Bulls star Michael Jordan and Golden State phenom Steph Curry in his latest post.

    He called himself the “Michael Jordan and Steph Curry of music” before adding that he is “the best of two generations.”

    Jordan has yet to comment on the said tweet but Curry had mixed feelings about it. He found it amusing that West would consider him “best” in his field and at the same time weird to be mentioned with Jordan.

    “I’ve seen a lot of his crazy kind of outlandish tweets in the past, especially in the past month, and then when I saw my name cross through his fingertips that was pretty funny and ‘honoring’ at the same time and also very weird, putting me in the same conversation as Michael … and Kanye,” the Golden State Warriors player told the reporters.

    He went on to say that he found one interesting meme of him and Jordan in their jersey with West’s face on both players and said it was his favorite meme to date.

    “Someone did a graphic of me in my jersey and Jordan, they dubbed him guarding me, and Kanye’s face was on both of us. That’s my favorite meme of all time — or so far to-date. I’m gonna have to get that blown up on my wall or something,” Curry said laughing.

  • Wells Fargo Says Blac Youngsta Never Had An Account With Them, Rapper Proves Otherwise

    Wells Fargo Says Blac Youngsta Never Had An Account With Them, Rapper Proves Otherwise

    On January 13, rapper Black Youngsta posted a letter from Wells Fargo on his Instagram page, notifying him that his “deposit account relationship” with the bank is ending, citing that it was “business decision” on the part of the company.

    Despite claims by Wells Fargo that Blac Youngsta never had an account with them, the letter advising him of their decision to close his account was enough proof that the rapper actually had transactions with the bank.

    “DAMN THIS S**T CRAZY, @WELLSFARGO SHUT MY S**T DOWN CUZ OF A ‘BUSINESS DECISION,’” Blac Youngsta posted along with a photo of the document. “GUESS THEY RIGHT, I AINT GOT A ACCOUNT.”

    Wells Fargo previously released a statement claiming that the rapper, who is named Sammie Benson in real life, did not have an account with them, after the musician was detained by authorities last week.

    Blac Youngsta had a run-in with the police on Friday, January 8, outside a Wells Fargo branch in Atlanta. Cops waiting outside the bank arrested him after he withdrew $200,000 from his bank account.

    It appears that the Atlanta police was alerted that someone tried to cash a counterfeit check and mistook the rapper for the suspect. Authorities have admitted that they made a huge mistake arresting Blac Youngsta and that detaining the rapper was a complete misunderstanding.

    When Atlanta authorities checked his Wells Fargo bank account, they found out that the Blac Youngsta actually had $1.3 million in the bank. They eventually apologized to the rapper.

    “They confused me but I’m legit,” the rapper said after his arrest.

    The police have captured the alleged forger, Charles Darnell Edward, shortly after he cashed a counterfeit $24,000 check. Edward was charged with first-degree forgery.

  • Wiz Khalifa Gets Fined In His Hometown For Relieving Himself In Public

    Wiz Khalifa seems to have little control over his bodily functions or he’s just not finicky with his toilet habits.

    Wiz was in his hometown of Pittsburgh last Friday to perform at the Pitt’s Midnight Madness basketball season kickoff. Wiz is a graduate of Pittsburgh’s Allderdice High School and keeps a home in suburban Canonsburg.

    According to the police report, Wiz was caught urinating in public, behind The Flats bar on Pittsburgh’s South Side at around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday and was cited immediately.

    Pittsburgh’s Department of Public Safety wrote Wiz a ticket for his public violation had him pay a fine of a few hundred dollars, but no arrest was made.

    Apparently, Wiz partied a little too hard after his performance, and it seemed like he didn’t notice that he was already relieving himself in front of people.

    Even if the police were aware of Wiz’s celebrity, it did not seem to stop them from citing him for the misdeed. This incident certainly does not make things look good for Wiz, especially when he is reportedly trying to get back together with his estranged wife, Amber Rose, with whom he has a young son named Sebastian.

    Just last August, he claimed he was arrested and detained by Customs and Border Patrol officers in LAX, because he refused to get off of his hoverboard.

    Wiz also took to social media to address the said incident. He posted videos before he was detained and while he was being cuffed, which Wiz also posted on Twitter.

    This time, however, he did not contest the ticket for his public urination and paid the fine peacefully.

    Amber Rose has not commented on the said incident.

    While Wiz and his reps did not comment on what happened, he did fire back through Instagram, posting a photo of himself urinating against a wall with a smile on his face.

  • Kanye West Cries Discrimination For Being Straight Guy In The Fashion Industry

    After making his mark in the music industry, Kanye West seems to be under a lot of pressure as he tries to get the same recognition in the fashion industry.

    After the Yeezy Season 2 collection was launched in New York Fashion Week a few weeks ago, West said he felt like he was being discriminated against in the fashion circle just because he is straight man.

    “I feel like I got discriminated in fashion for not being gay,” West said during a live interview with fashion-oriented website SHOWStudio. “In music, you definitely get discriminated in music if you are gay. It takes amazing talent to break down barriers,” West added.

    However, fashion critic Cathy Horyn, thinks that West’s Yeezy collection is not being discriminated against because of his sexual orientation but because of the actual clothes. “This second round of drab, broken-down basics proved he can’t be taken seriously as a designer; but nevertheless many people in fashion do seem to take West seriously, they keep showing up expectantly for his performances, and that makes them fools,” Horyn wrote in her blog. That is after Horyn saw West’s designs, which she described as the same thing that West had shown before, hoodies, baggy pants, and beige undergarments that looked like Spanx.

    West seemed to have forgotten that there are a lot of straight guys who have made their names in the fashion industry, and that their sexuality didn’t get in the way of their success.

    Some of these designers include Ralph Lauren, Kenneth Cole, Yohji Yamamoto, and Tommy Hilfiger to name a few.

    West adds that he doesn’t have anything against gays, since he talked about how supportive he was of Caitlyn Jenner and even encouraged Kim Kardashian to accept her transgender stepdad.

    “Then it was like, ‘F**k what people say. F**k what people think. I feel proud to be in a family that has so many people breaking ground for generations to come. I’m still getting acquainted to what’s politically correct [to say],” West said in the same interview.

  • Rita Ora Gets Slut-Shamed By Rapper A$AP Rocky, Says She’s Not Affected By Tasteless Lyrics

    Rita Ora said she was not affected by A$AP Rocky’s sexual comments. In an interview with HOT 97 on Wednesay, Rita Ora talked about the offensive sexual comments of A$AP Rocky on his song, “Better Things”.

    She said she doesn’t really care about what he thinks of her, but she does not want people to think it was okay to talk about women in a sexually offending way. She clarified she does not have anything against Rocky’s music.

    “I love what he does,” Rita Ora confides. “I like how, you know, he looks dope, whatever. But for me, it’s not about me. It’s about what people think they can get away with about speaking about women.”

    The 24-year-old pop singer said she was happy and proud of her individuality and what she represents.

    The cause of all the fuss was the line from the track “Better Things” which was released early this year. It recounts Rocky’s intimate encounter with Ora .

    Rocky, later on admitted that his choice of words was “tasteless” . Ora said she missed this comment from Rocky but it was nice that he admitted it.

    ASAP Rocky: ‘Better Things’ (Explicit Lyrics)

    When asked about her love life, Rita Ora admits that she is single now and she feels free.

    “Don’t get me wrong, even sometimes I’m like, ‘Yo, am I gonna end up with like 10 cats? Am I gonna be that woman?’” she shared laughing. “But then I think, ‘No, you know, at this time it’s just not mean to be.’ Accept that, be happy with who we have, what we are, and I’m not trying to preach but I’m kind of saying this so I can hear myself say it, too. It’s one of those things, man. [Relationships] don’t mean everything.”

  • Blac Chyna Suggests Tyga Is Cheating On Kylie Jenner With Mysterious Instagram Post

    Blac Chyna Suggests Tyga Is Cheating On Kylie Jenner With Mysterious Instagram Post

    Blac Chyna makes it no secret that she’s not a fan of Kylie Jenner, and vice versa. The two have been trying to one-up each other in social media ever since the 17-year-old Kylie hooked up with Chyna’s baby daddy Tyga.

    But a mysterious post made by the urban model has Kylie (and other people) thinking that she’s behind the cheating scandal Tyga’s currently embroiled in.

    The website LoveBScott landed a scoop on Tuesday when an anonymous source sent emails alleging that the 25-year-old rapper was cheating on Kylie with transgender actress Mia Isabelle.

    The email detailed how the affair had been going on for years (even during the time Tyga was still involved with Blac Chyna) and that the two “seem to have a lot of love for each other.”

    Normally, information like this is taken with a heaping grain of salt, but the source included screen shots of several racy conversations between the two along with photos of Tyga’s penis.

    By some strange coincidence, a few hours after the website broke the story, Black Chyna posted an ad on her Instagram page promoting Reverse Phone Lookup, a service that can look into all the activities and details associated with a specific phone number.

     

    A photo posted by www.Lashedbar.co (@blacchyna) on

    Aside from posting a photo of a worried looking woman in bed, the 27-year-old Blac Chyna also captioned it with the message “Ever Wonder Who BAE is Texting and Calling when You’re Not Around?? Yeah.. So is the Rest of the World…Go Check out @ReversePhoneLookupp and Click the Web Link in Their Bio to Find out NOW!”

    The post made people wonder what it was really about. Some say that it might be Blac Chyna’s way of helping Kylie realize that Tyga is just using her while others are questioning the timing of the post. It’s also possible that her account has been hacked but so far, the mother of one hasn’t mentioned anything.

    The two women haven’t given any comments about the revelations surrounding Tyga, but sources say that Kylie believes that Blac Chyna is the one who emailed the site and sent those private pics.

    As for Tyga, his lawyers have already confirmed the authenticity of the photos and demanded that they be taken down from the LoveBScott website. But Tyga also had something to say, something positive. The embattled rapper posted a photo on Instagram with the message that he’s “always on the positive and building up those around me.”

  • Rapper Trina’s Boyfriend Gets Stolen By Khloe Kardashian

    Southern rapper and model Trina has two words for Khloe Kardashian, “sloppy seconds.”

    The 36-year-old rapper shaded the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star on her Twitter account after Khloe was spotted with NBA star James Harden last Saturday, July 4.

    The reality TV star was seen with the Houston Rockets player enjoying a meal together at Red 8 restaurant in the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas. Afterwards, the pair proceeded to Drai’s Nightclub to party at Chris Brown’s Fourth of July celebration.

    The pair seemed to enjoy each other’s company but Rapper Trina slammed Khloe for dating another one of her ex-boyfriends.

     

    Khloe used to go out with Bad Boy rapper French Montana while he was reportedly still living together with Trina. Apparently, Trina was pushed aside in favor of the more popular Kardashian star. Meanwhile, Amber Rose, also Harden’s ex, believed that the Kardashians were apparently waiting around for her boyfriends as soon as she was done with them.

    A person close to Rose says the former stripper thinks that there’s nothing original and genuine about the Kardashians and further labelled them as “some seriously thirsty girls.”

    Rose was almost expecting that one of the reality TV star siblings would try to hook up with Wiz Khalifa, said the insider.She also commented that even Kylie Jenner joined in the clan’s tradition of “bottom feeding” by going out with Tyga, the source also revealed.

    In the meantime, though 31-year-old Khloe Kardashian and 25-year-old James Harden haven’t announced that they were officially dating, the two looked very much happy together.

    A source informed HollywoodLife that the two walked while holding hands and they were also seen laughing and whispering to each other.

  • Nicki Minaj Misses Set At Wireless Festival 2015, Leaves Fans Fuming

    Nicki Minaj was scheduled to be on stage from 7pm to 8pm during the Wireless Festival on Sunday night but was MIA.

    Fans were demanding a refund after waiting for Minaj who was having “travel issues” and was running late for her show.

    Fans were angry and the festival’s organizers were forced to admit that they had lost touch with Minaj minutes after the scheduled timeslot for her performance.

    They flashed a message up on screen saying, “Special announcement: we are told that she was due to be speeding down the M1 from Luton Airport as we speak but we have lost contact with her, we are hoping she will be here soon.”

    The organizers later added, “We’re assured that Nicki Minaj is still on her way and will perform with David Guetta. He’s on at 8:30 and she’ll join him soon after.”

    However, 9:00pm came and went and Minaj was still a no-show. Guetta was forced to perform their duet “Turn Me On” without her.

    Alexandra Canham tweeted “@NICIMINAJ it’s not hard to turn up to work on time, I plan to do it tomorrow morning after waiting to see you! #Wireless #NickiMinaj”

    Another tweet by Jaylee Miguel said “Feel really bad for @NICKIMINAJ fans who spent money on tix & travel, expecting a 60min set, to be told she’ll be joining Guetta #Wireless”

    Highways England earlier reported heavy congestion between junctions nine and eight in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, close to Luton Airport, following a car fire.

    Rumors still erupted as @YahooCelebUK tweeted: SOS!!!! Apparently Nicki Minaj missed her flight so is going to be on later than planned, ahh!! #wireless #livenation

    Minaj had a performance the night before in Denmark and is said to have missed her exit flight that same night. As a result, the rapper had to catch a flight to the Wireless Festival on the day of the event.

    Well, after being more than two hours late, the hip-hop superstar finally took the stage.

    Before starting her performance she gave an apology: “Our plane couldn’t get out because of the weather but I want to tell you how much I f***ing love y’all. I want to tell you how much I appreciate you guys for showing up from day one.

  • Beastie Boys: Here’s How Ad-Rock Could Get His Role In ‘Walking Dead’

    The Walking Dead is currently on hiatus so it’s the perfect time for Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys to pitch his ideas to Greg Nicotero.

    Ad-Rock, who’s known in real life as Adam Horowitz, is unabashed in his love for the epic zombie TV show.

    “I f—ing love that show,” Horowitz confessed. “Every moment of that show.… I would love to be in The Walking Dead.”

    But unlike other celebrities who prefer to be zombified, this Beastie Boy wants to remain alive, and maybe be friends with resident bad boy Daryl Dixon.

    In a recent Entertainment Weekly radio, the hip-hop legend said he want “to be like [Daryl’s] friend from the city. Like a distant relative—‘He’s my uncle’s friend from New York.”

    “I’d show up with like a PBS tote bag and something from Zabar’s—be like, ‘Hey, I got lox! Who wants bagels?’” Horowitz added.

    While the idea he’s trying to pitch is pretty farfetched, and would likely result in Ad-Rock getting killed by Carl just for the bagels, the singer can say that he has already claimed some notable roles.

    The Beastie Boy member currently has a small but notable role in Adam Sandler’s While We’re Young.

    But maybe Ad-Rock doesn’t need to play some character in The Walking Dead. Maybe he can play himself, like he was on tour in Atlanta or something when the zombie apocalypse hit and he had to fight for his right…to live (see what I did there?)

    Daryl Dixon, or even Rick Grimes, could be revealed as being a fan of the Beastie Boys.

    Ad-Rock would eventually find his way to Alexandria and they’ll have one big, noisy party to welcome him.  After all, even in the depressing world of The Walking Dead, a little party every now and then never hurts anyone.

    At least, not until the zombie horde overruns the community.

  • Amber Rose, Wiz Khalifa Reconcile With Help Of Wrestler John Cena

    The estranged couple arrived together with their 2-year-old son Sebastian to celebrate Easter at Tamar Braxton’s party in Calabasas.

    Noticeably conspicuous with her blue hair, Amber and Wiz were seen being very affectionate with each other. People at the party described the two as being very playful with each other, hugging and even separating from the crowd to spend time together.

    The feuding exes recently came to terms in their custody battle over their son. However, sources say the duo were not just putting on a front for their son’s sake during the Easter outing but are honestly working on their relationship.

    The two were bitterly exchanging jabs on social media since Amber filed for divorce last September. But in an unexpected move, she exposed her true feelings for Wiz on Instagram on April 2.

    The hip-hop model posted a photo of the two during happier times in 2012 with the caption “We went wrong somewhere and even if we never ever get back together (Even tho I pray, dream and hope we do) he will forever be the love of my life.”

    A photo posted by Amber Rose (@amberrose) on

    She also revealed that “I’m sick of putting on a front like I’m happy without him. I’m not.”

    Surprisingly, it was wrestler John Cena who put Amber and Wiz on the road to reconciliation.

    After performing his new song “Go Hard or Go Home” on Monday Night Raw on March 9, Wiz discussed the song –which is about Amber – with Cena. And the more he talked to the 37-year-old wrestler about the song, the more it made him think about his family.

    He called Amber afterwards and asked her to watch the performance. According to a source close to Wiz, “The gesture of having her listen to the song was the only thing he has done to get them to talk more and actually start the reconciliation process.”

  • Azealia Banks Posts Pics Of Her Genitals On Twitter?

    Raised eyebrows do not frighten feisty rapper Azealia Banks easily.

    When you tell her off for saying she “hates everything about America”, she will retaliate with a massive, close-up photo of her vagina.

    This is exactly what The Blaze contributor Matt Walsh allegedly got after he penned an article titled “Dear Azealia Banks, Please Feel Free To Leave America And Never Return” in response to the rapper’s controversial Playboy interview.

    On the March issue of Playboy, Banks posed as cover girl and gave true-to-self remarks on her hatred of “fat white Americans”. “All the people who are crunched into the middle of America, the real fat and meat of America, are these racist conservative white people who live on their farms. Those little teenage girls who work at Kmart and have a racist grandma — that’s really America,” Banks said.

    Walsh criticized Banks’ statements and invited the rapper to flee the country. Walsh’ article written for The Blaze was shared on social media more than 50,000 times. In refute, Banks responded with photo of her genitals, which she reportedly sent to the blogger via twitter.

    “I write a post to @AZEALIABANKS. She responds by tweeting me a photo of her vagina. Sexual harassment? Or is that just when guys do it?” Walsh tweeted over the weekend. The photo in question has been deleted since.

    He added, “@AZEALIABANKS. If only you could read and write, you might have other ways of communicating besides flashing your genitals.”

    In his article, Walsh disapproves of how people seem to applaud Banks for her “racist language”. “Do you know who is most responsible for the continued struggles of blacks in America? You, Ms. Banks. You and people like you. You are the problem. You are at fault,” he said.

    “It goes without saying of course that if your skin complexion were a few shades lighter, and your venom aimed at skin complexions a few shades darker, your comments would be headline news,” penned Walsh. “There would be boycotts all over the country, and you’d be forced to apologize amid a sea of death threats.”

    “Shut up Mayo,” Banks tweeted back as she sent a photo of her Playboy cover to Walsh and his wife.

  • Lil Wayne Wants Out Of Cash Money, Others May Follow Suit

    Rap battles might soon be staged in courtrooms with Lil Wayne’s $51 million lawsuit against one-time father figure Birdman and his record company, Cash Money.

    Earlier this year, the rapper sued Cash Money which allegedly owed him $8 million for licensing and royalties for his long-delayed The Carter V album.

    The lawsuit was broken down in detail by former entertainment lawyer, Reggie Ossé, a.k.a. Combat Jack. It allegedly also includes fees for the artists on Young Money like rapper Drake. In total, Cash Money supposedly owes $10 million to its artists. The lawyer also claims that the label will not be providing any accounting for how much Drake has actually generated for it.

    Wayne once rapped, “Cash Money Record, where dreams come true,” but for several months now, the rapper has been singing a different tune. Recently, Wayne vented with “eyes wide shut” through a new Young Money Cipher video released by Karen Civil. Wayne was featured front and center, rapping, “I thank you for my hit man / And tell Pac I’m a big fan / I sing ‘Dear Mama’ to my dear mama.”

    Young Money Cypher (Lil Wayne disses Birdman). Watch to the end (explicit lyrics)

    Referencing Tupac, Tunechi raps “I say hit ‘em up to my daddy b**ch a**,” dissing Baby. Wayne also adds, “blood all in the f***ing baby food,” which could either be another diss line addressed to Baby, or just an attempt at gore.

    Young Thug is apparently targeted, too. “Young motherf***ing Money/These my motherf**king brothers not my f***ing hubbies,” says Wayne.

    Wayne seemed to have pushed the domino as other artists of the record company expressed signs of leaving. Drake’s “If You’re reading This It’s Too Late” mixtape was reportedly addressed towards his album commitment to Young Money. Turk has recently joined in on the lawsuit against Cash Money, while Tyga has long expressed his desire to leave.

  • Bill Murray And Rap Boss Rick Ross: An Unlikely Pairing That Makes Sense

    It’s an unlikely pairing, but somehow it makes sense. Rapper Rick Ross and comedian Bill Murray crossed paths over the weekend when they both attended the Rhode Island vs. La Salle basketball game in Philadelphia. Murray was at the game to support his son Luke who is an assistant coach for the Rhode Island Rams. After the Rams won the game, Murray decided to celebrate with Ross at his studio. And judging by the pictures, everyone had fun. Paul Shaffer, David Letterman’s sidekick/bandleader, even showed up for the festivities.

    This kind of behavior is to be expected of Murray, who’s now received cult status of sorts not just because of his work in the big screen but also because of his off-screen persona. During a Q&A last year, Murray was asked, “What is it like to be Bill Murray?” And his answer? “There’s a wonderful sense of well-being that begins to circulate. . . up and down your spine,” Murray says. “And you feel something that makes you almost want to smile. So what’s it like to be me? Ask yourself, ‘what’s it like to be me?’ The only way we’ll ever know what it’s like to be you is if you work your best at being you as often as you can, and keep reminding yourself that’s where home is.”

    He’s known for giving advice not only at his Q&A’s but also at a bachelor parties. He’s been known to photobomb people, even going so far as to crash engagement photo shoots. It was also recently revealed that Murray is a hip-hop head as evidenced by the time he crashed a birthday party to dance to DJ Snake and Lil Jon’s “Turn down for What”. Now the whole Rick Ross thing makes a whole lot of sense.

    Now the important question: will there be a Rick Ross and Billy Murray collaboration in the near future? The answer is still uncertain, but we won’t be surprised if it does happen.

  • Kanye West To Release New Video Game Inspired By His Late Mother

    Kanye West is known as one of the biggest names in music today. He has also dabbled in stuff outside his profitable music career, including conquering the fashion world. West recently revealed that he will be adding to his checklist for world domination: he will be making a video game. In a guest appearance at Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club radio show, West talked at length about the new material he’s working on as well as his collaboration with Adidas. Towards the end of the interview, West revealed some details about the video game inspired by his mother.

    “Right now I’m working on a video game for ‘Only One’, and the idea is that it’s my mother going through the gates of heaven and you have to bring her to the highest gates of heaven by holding her to the light,” West said. “We’ve been working on it for like six months.” “Only One” is the name of the single he made with Paul McCartney, and is a tribute to West’s mom who passed away due to complications attributed to a plastic surgery operation.

    West has yet to reveal more details about the game. It’s currently unknown if he’s developing it with a studio or when it will be released. It’s also unknown which platform the game is being released for. If it becomes a mobile game he will be facing off against his wife, Kim Kardashian, whose Kim Kardashian: Hollywood mobile game proved to be a massive success. Kim Kardashian: Hollywood was estimated to have generated as much as $200 million last year through in-app purchases.

    In the same interview, West also talked about his plans of making a documentary about the controversial minister Louis Farrakhan. “Right now, I’m working on a documentary with him, about him and about his music. He’s a classically trained violinist, and he’s also one of the most humane people,” West said.

  • Jay-Z Has 21-Year-Old Illegitimate Son? Rapper Gets Hit With Paternity Suit

    A young man from Philadelphia has filed a paternity suit against Jay-Z alleging that the rapper has been dodging tests to prove whether or not he is the man’s father. According to the court documents which were leaked to the public, Jay-Z lied to a New Jersey court in order to dodge the paternity test. The young man in the center of the “Jay-Z love child” rumors is a 21-year-old aspiring rapper named Rymir Satterthwaite. According to Satterthwaite, Jay-Z had an affair with his mother back in the early 90s.

    Satterthwaite’s legal guardian and paralegal, Lillie Coley, filed the civil lawsuit on his behalf back in December of 2014. They have been urging Jay-Z to take the paternity test since 2010, after another man who has been paying for Satterthwaite’s child support failed a DNA test proving that he was not Satterthwaite’s father.

    The case was eventually dismissed by New Jersey Superior Court Judge Edward McBride Jr. on the basis that Jay-Z’s attorneys argued that he was living in Manhattan at the time and that McBride did not have the jurisdiction to preside over the proceedings.

    After the dismissal, Coley filed her suit claiming that Jay-Z provided fraudulent information. According to Coley, the address that Jay-Z gave the judge was actually listed for offices that he owned.

    The legal documents were leaked on Wednesday. An unidentified family friend told the National Enquirer that the recent allegations may put a strain on Jay-Z’s marriage to Beyonce. “Beyonce is in pieces over what a divorce means to her,” the source said. “But if Jay-Z has fathered a love child, I’m sure she wouldn’t have any option. There’s only so much anyone can take!”

    Back in 2011, rumors surfaced claiming that Jay-Z fathered a young boy with Trinidad model Shanelle Scott. Jay-Z never admitted that he was the father, but he paid Scott $1 million to keep his name off the birth certificate.

  • Kanye West Gives A Musical Performance To Be Remembered On SNL 40th Anniversary Show

    The Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Show was full of surprise guests and musical performers that have become a part of the groundbreaking show. One of those guests that definitely stunned the crowd was Kanye West who debuted his new track on television.

    The Grammy-winning rapper performed in a black and white designed stage that made it look like an art installation. West wore casual trousers, a pair of boots, a hoodie, and some cutoff gloves during the performance, but the one thing that the crowd made notice of was West’s baby blue contact lens that helped complete his eerie outfit.

    The colored contacts made the 37-year-old rap artist’s eyes look like the eyes of wolves, which is also the title of his latest single. After performing Jesus Walks and Only One, a song that he wrote and dedicated to his late mother Donda, Kanye debuted his latest single Wolves on live television. A clip of the song was previously released along with the teaser video of his collaboration with clothing brand, Adidas. West performed the single during the launch of his line of Yeezy shoes during New York Fashion Week, but this is the first time that West performed the track in front of millions of television viewers who tuned in during the show.


    Kanye West Performs at SNL 40 – “Jesus Walks… by DoubleAStreet

    West was joined onstage by newcomer Vic Mensa and Sia who donned her now-infamous blonde wig that obscured her face from the cameras. Kim Kardashian tuned in during the show and tweeted out a clip of her husband’s performance with the caption: “Iconic moment!!! Kanye SNL!”

    West played it cool during the show when Mike Myers and Dana Carvey reprised their Wayne’s World characters and made fun of Kanye during their Top 10 skit. There were a lot of jokes thrown out during the three-hour show and it also featured a couple of musical guests aside from Kanye West and Sia. Paul McCartney was joined onstage by Paul Simon to perform a brief clip of The Beatles’ I’ve Just Seen a Face, while Miley Cyrus made a shockingly good performance of 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.

  • Nicki Minaj Steals The Show During Her Recent SNL Appearance

    The December 6 episode of Saturday Night Live was hosted by James Franco, but musical guest Nicki Minaj practically stole the show and she proved to everyone that she could handle her own when it comes to comedy. In one skit, Minaj impersonated Beyonce who was a guest in a fictitious MTV show Jingle Ballerz which featured Taran Killam as Eminem, Kenan Thompson as Rick Ross, and James Franco as Riff Raff among others. The sketch attempted to explain the holiday season with the help of various hip hop personalities.

    But Minaj didn’t stop there. She also impersonated Kim Kardashian during the Weekend Update segment, explaining that Kim’s controversial nude photos for Paper magazine were taken out of context because they didn’t include the correct backgrounds (a gynecology office, a classroom, and the Keystone pipeline).

    During the second half of the show, Minaj joined Franco for another sketch. The skit is about a man who needs to create a new password but isn’t able to because his brain is too full of memories to store a new one. Nicki plays as herself in the skit, singing a few lines of her hit song “Anaconda”.

    Nicki’s performance was another crowd-pleaser. She performed three songs from her upcoming third album The Pinkprint. Skylar Grey joined Minaj for a performance of the ballad Bed of Lies which she co-wrote with rapper. Minaj also performed a medley of Only and All Things Go, the latter dealing with personal subject matter including a former engagement, the death of a cousin, and a pregnancy scare.

    This is the second time that Minaj has appeared on the comedy show. During her first appearance on the program, she performed the songs Right Thru Me and Moment 4 Life from her album Pink Friday. She also appeared on a sketch with The Lonely Island called The Creep.

  • Lil Wayne Says He’s “A Prisoner,” Wants Out Of Cash Money Records

    Almost two years after Lil Wayne started recording latest album Tha Carter V, the rapper alleges that producer Birdman and record label Cash Money Records refuse to release his latest work.

    The album was slated to drop earlier this year, but had been pushed back to a December 9 date. Earlier today, just five days before the album was due to be released, Lil Wayne took his grievances to his social media account to announce that the album has been delayed again to an unspecified date.

    The rapper is blaming his record label for the latest delay, claiming that he has been made “a prisoner.” Cash Money Records, the label who handled the rapper’s previous releases is allegedly refusing to release the album. “I am a prisoner and so is my creativity,” said Wayne on a post on his Twitter. “I want off this label and nothing to do with these people but unfortunately it ain’t that easy.”

    Lil Wayne performed his first single Start a Fire at last month’s American Music Awards to hype up the fans about his latest album. It appears that the rapper’s fans will have to wait a little longer until the respective parties clear up all the issues related to the album.

    Tha Carter V is expected to be the rapper’s final album even though he is still under contract to release three more albums after this one. Back in 2012, the 32-year-old rapper said that he plans to retire once he turns 35. He explained that he wanted to spend more time with his four kids and that spending time in the studio would feel selfish as he would miss vital points in his children’s lives.

    The rapper has previously released 4 Tha Carter albums with Cash Money Records. The musician was the most nominated artist at the 2009 Grammys after reaching the height of his popularity with Tha Carter III.

  • Beanie Sigel: Rapper Shot, in Critical Condition

    Rapper Beanie Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, was shot this morning in Pleasantville, New Jersey. A single bullet entered his abdomen and exited via his back. He was in critical condition, according to Pleasantville Chief Jose Ruiz.

    Philly.com reports that Sigel was found inside a home on the 800 block of Spruce Ave. A around 9:30 this morning. Another injured man was found at the home as well.

    Chief Ruiz said investigators were waiting to question Beanie Sigel about the shooting. The second man, who refused medical treatment, was believed to be a friend or relative of Sigel’s.

    “He hasn’t offered anything,” Ruiz said, “and we’re waiting for Mr. Sigel to be able to speak to us.”

    Both ammunition and bullet casings were found outside the home where the shootings took place.

    Beanie Sigel’s attorney, Fortunato “Fred” Perri Jr., said the rapper lives in Pleasantville, and was shot after he returned home from taking his children to school.

    “From what I’ve heard, he was not the intended target,” Perri said.

    Sigel has reportedly been considering a return to the music business, and was set to take part in an upcoming concert, Perri added.

    “He’s certainly matured from some of the things that he was involved with when he was much younger,” the attorney said. “I’m a bit heartbroken. He seemed like he was about to start moving his life in the right direction.”

    Photos on Sigel’s Instagram account this week showed the rapper recording in a small sound studio and wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet.

    “I’m working #dontpanic #TheReturn .. @shakurmac @phillyfreeway,” Sigel captioned one of the photos.

    Beanie Sigel, who is 40, has a long history of breaking the law. In 2003 he was charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault after allegedly firing six shots at a nightclub door. Two people were injured during that incident. He was later acquitted of all charges. In 2005, he served 10 months in prison on weapons counts.

    This past August he moved to a halfway house after serving a two-year federal prison term for tax evasion. Beanie Sigel had been scheduled to be released from the halfway house tomorrow.

    Two weeks before he was scheduled to report to the federal prison–just hours following the release of his sixth album, This Time, Beanie Sigel was arrested on drug and gun charges during a traffic stop in Delaware County. He pleaded guilty to possessing a controlled substance.

    Hopefully Sigel will emerge from this shooting without any horrific injuries. Perhaps he can help authorities determine who is responsible for the shootings.

    What is it with rappers and shootings anyway? This is way more than just a coincidence–don’t you think?

  • Jerry Seinfeld Schools Rapper Wale On Whining

    It’s the unlikeliest of friendships, but it seems that comedian Jerry Seinfeld and Wale are really hitting it off. In 2008, Wale released The Mixtape about Nothing, a mixtape that was inspired by Seinfeld’s eponymous TV show. The mixtape also featured samples from Seinfeld as well as a shout-out from actress Julia Louis-Dreyfuss who plays Elaine on the show. The comedian became aware of the record and he arranged to meet with Wale backstage at a show in Baltimore. The two discussed working together, with Seinfeld appearing on The Gifted’s “Outro about Nothing”.

    This friendship has now turned into a full blown collaboration. Seinfeld appears all over Wale’s new album called The Album about Nothing. Seinfeld serves as a sort of narrator for the record, providing spoken-word segments between the songs. While the two have little in common on the surface, it’s clear that Seinfeld is a calming influence on the rapper. They have become a real-life version of The Odd Couple.

    Seinfeld and Wale recently appeared in a cover story for Complex. The two recorded a skit poking fun at Wale’s tirade against the magazine when he didn’t make it to their list of 50 Best Albums of 2013. In the skit, they joke that Seinfeld was actually the one behind Wale’s threatening phone call to the Complex offices. In the article however, Wale was more serious about the incident. “I learned from it. Although I wasn’t happy with certain things in my career, I checked some things in myself,” the rapper said during the interview.

    The friends also talked about their views on celebrity in the interview. “There’s a fame need. We need people to look at or talk about to just to fill the time. They say life is too short. It is way too long! And we’re filling it in with a lot of fake stuff. Like wrestling. Like stars who have no talent,” Seinfeld said about the nature of fame nowadays.

    Wale and Jerry Seinfeld’s The Album about Nothing is slated to be released this fall.

  • Nicki Minaj Spotted With “New Jewish Boyfriend”

    Nicki Minaj got in trouble recently after she released the video for “Only”, her collaboration with Drake, Chris Brown, and Lil Wayne. The rapper was accused of using Nazi imagery in her video, and despite the fact that Minaj has apologized on her Twitter, she’s still being hounded by questions about the controversy. TMZ caught up with Minaj when she landed at LAX after her hosting stint at the MTV Europe Music Awards. The “Anaconda” rapper was accompanied by security personnel and another man, which she called her “new Jewish boyfriend”. “No this is my new Jewish boyfriend. Why the f–k would I do that? We did this together,” Minaj said after she kept being asked about the music video.

    The man in question is Grizz Lee, whose real name is Alex Loucas. Loucas is a videographer, and he’s the one who supervised the making of the Only video. In a series of tweets apologizing for the content of the music video, Minaj named Loucas as the man behind the concept. “Both the producer and person in charge of overseeing the lyric video (one of my best friends & videographer: A Loucas), happen to be Jewish,” Minaj said in her tweet. Minaj added, “The artist who made the lyric video for “Only” was influenced by a cartoon on Cartoon Network called Metalocalypse and Sin City.”

    “Only”: Nicki Minaj featuring Drake, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown (explicit lyrics)

    Prior to dating Loucas, Minaj went out with Trinidadian rapper Safaree Samuels. Earlier this year, the two reportedly had a huge fight. According to reports, Minaj chased Samuels with a baseball bat before proceeding to smash his 2012 Mercedes Benz. She also threw Samuels’ clothes in the trash. It is worth noting that Samuels was seen last month with his tattoos of Nicki all covered up.

    After her breakup with Samuels, there were rumors that Minaj was flirting with Drake but it seems those rumors were unfounded and Alex Loucas is the lucky man this time around.
