http://ift.tt/eA8V8J The celebrity website behind Nick Young’s video cheating confession claims Nicki Minaj was involved. According to the source, Minaj didn’t like Iggy Azalea throwing shade  during an interview on Bravo’s Watch What Happen’s Live earlier in the month, so she leaked the footage. Reports ESPN Houston : Since, the Lakers have allegedly distanced themselves from Russell and have been slammed with a social media nightmare. Celebrity gossip writer “Fameolus”, who broke the story, joined the “HD Show” today with stunning new developments. Fameolous states that Iggy’s biggest hip-hop rival Nicki Minaj, was the one responsible for the video going viral. “Somebody from Nicki Minaj’s camp a source, got the video and they sent it in. And they said here put this out because Iggy want to talk mess about Nicki Minaj, put this out and let her know what her fiance is doing… It had nothing to do with the basketball players.” said Fameolous Raising even more questions c...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J In this party track off his latest LP, MMM,  Puff Daddy continues to be proof that if you feel young then you are young. Numbers be damned! In “You Could Be My Lover” the ageless Hip-Hop icon breaks out the classic Bad Boy throwback jersey and finds himself in a female-filled house party where the only other competition for these young ladies affections are Ty Dolla $ign and the stylish Gizzle. Somehow this visual gives new credence to that old Biggie line, “’Bout to make our own porno flicks, my life’s the sh*t!” Speaking of Hip-Hop icons, Snoop Doggy Dog continues to co-sign fellow Los Angeleno Raven Felix from his West Coast throne in the visuals to the Nef The Pharoah assisted, “Hit The Gas” off the upcoming Meet The Blacks soundtrack. Check out the rest of today’s visuals which include some seductive work from Rihanna, T-Pain, and more.   PUFF DADDY & THE FAMILY FT. TY DOLLA $IGN & GIZZLE – “YOU COULD BE MY LOVER”   RAVEN FELI...

Abel delivers a remix of his associate Bryson Tiller’s  T R A P S O U L  standout “Rambo.” The Weeknd and Tiller were spotted together backstage during the former’s “The Madness” fall tour last year. A photo of the two led many to infer that a formal collaboration was on the way.

http://ift.tt/1M417Kp Recently, much has been said of D’Angelo Russell breaking the “guy code” when somehow video footage he took of Nick Young copping to cheating on Iggy Azalea leaked onto the Internets via a gossip site. Who better to ask about this than snitch-fader  Matt Barnes ?  If you’ll recall, Derek Fisher allegedly broke multiple bro codes when he started dating Barnes still wife (they’re going through a divorce). An attempted fade and a $35K fine by the NBA later , and Barnes still feels a ways. So today (March 31), Barnes posted a meme that takes Derek Fisher to task for his noted obliviousness to guy code standards, which also referenced D’Angelo Russell’s recent faux pas. Young Metro probably doesn’t trust either of these cats.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Jay Z’s takeover of TIDAL is about a year old and the company recently boasted passing 3M subscribers. However, Hova is accusing the entity that sold him the streaming music service of inflating its number of subscribers at the time Jigga copped it for $56M. Reports Bloomberg : A year after buying struggling music-streaming service Tidal in a $56 million deal, the hip hop mogul is going after the previous owners for compensation. Tidal sent a letter to Schibsted ASA, a Norwegian media company, accusing the seller of overstating subscriber numbers at the time of the deal. “It became clear after taking control of Tidal and conducting our own audit that the total number of subscribers was actually well below the 540,000 reported to us by the prior owners,” Tidal said in an e-mailed statement. “As a result, we have now served legal notice to parties involved in the sale.” Jigga is seeking compensation from Schibsted for allegedly p...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Consider the vast amount of f*ckery he has been involved in just in 2016 alone, Katt Williams doesn’t really want to win. Nevertheless, the trouble comedian has been granted bond after his latest arrest for getting into a scrap with a 17-year-old in Gaineseville, GA. Reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution : Williams was jailed in Georgia following his arrest Wednesday. Police say the 44-year-old Williams and 17-year-old Luke Wash are charged with disorderly conduct after fighting at a Gainesville apartment complex. Wash is charged as an adult. Attorney Drew Findling says Williams was granted $500 bond and was expected to be released Thursday. Yvette Shearer, who is handling publicity for Williams’ “Conspiracy Theory 2016” tour, said his Friday show in New Orleans is being rescheduled to May 6. His Saturday show in Bossier City, Louisiana, is being moved to April 30. She said all tickets will be honored on the new dates. We suggest Williams exercise th...

http://ift.tt/1VVXDvB Even in retirement Michael “Air” Jordan continues to prove that he will not lose.  Forbes recently released their list of the worlds highest paid retired athletes and naturally at the top of list was none other than his Airness himself. Jordan stockpiled an impressive $110 million in 2015 alone. If you keep up with sneaker culture this should come as no surprise as Jordans Retros have become such a stable in today’s streetwear scene and pop culture it’s basically considered a type of currency, depending on which pairs you have at your disposal. Then if you take into account his endorsement deals with Hanes, Gatorade, and Upper Deck it would totally make sense that the greatest basketball player of all-time has an estimated worth of $1.1 billion. Not bad for a man taken number 3 overall in the NBA draft, in 1984. Just goes to show how much we admire this man and revere his legacy… even if he may allegedly hate Hip-Hop . — Photo: screen cap...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Brandy has found herself in a legal battle to get new music out to the masses. The R&B singer is suing her label, Chameleon Entertainment , for allegedly delaying her next album and attempting to “bully” her into a bad deal. According to Entertainment Weekly , the suit states that Chameleon president Breyon Prescott wants her to sign “a new recording and distribution agreement” with Epic Records where he works as the Head of Urban A&R . The contract contains “terms far worse than her current agreement,” reads the lawsuit filed in a Los Angeles Superior Court Tuesday (March 29). Brandy signed a five-album deal with Chameleon in 2011 and released the album, Two-Eleven, the following year. Prior to unspecified “events” that led Chameleon to halt the release of her next LP, Brandy says the label agreed to pay $600,000 in “recording costs.” The lawsuit claims that 10 percent of the bill was due promptly after the label received “notice” that she had “comm...

The mid-season premiere of the FOX drama was last night and the Lyons were up to their usual shenanigans.  Hakeem is clearly out of pocket, having helped to sneak Empire Records out of the hands of his father, but Cookie and Lucious have different ideas on how to deal with them. Rhonda’s tumble down the steps ended unfortunately and Boo Boo Kitty looked like she was up to no good. Oh, and Laura is getting cooked.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J One of Hip-Hop’s most pioneering and praised figures is being accused of child molestation. Ronald Savage , former member of the New York State Democratic committee, claims Afrika Bambaataa began sexually abusing him as a young teen. Speaking to Star on Shot97.com, in an interview posted online this week, Savage recalled the first alleged round of sexual abuse, and explained why he hasn’t spoken up. “It took me this long to actually get this out and to be able to really talk about it.” 50-year-old Savage said that he’s worked in politics for “around 15 years,” and is a single father of three. With the exception of telling his mother and a city council member years later, Savage said he buried the story out of fear and shame because he believes molestation typically happens to girls. “ Guys don’t really talk about it,” he said. According to his story, Savage was a child member of the Universal Zulu Nation , a now international Hip-Hop awareness group found...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Karrine Steffans invited the whole world into the struggle that is her marriage to actor Columbus Short after she publicly aired him out for cheating and ousted him from their home. Steffans claims the act was to save her marriage, but it appears that Short is looking to move on despite his wife’s wishes. On Tuesday, news began going out on Tuesday (Mar. 29) that Steffans, also known as the infamous Superhead, tossed Short’s belongings and we reported on the issue as it broke. However, Steffans says that her actions are being misunderstood and that she’s hoping to save the marriage although it appears Short is having none of it. As the flurry of chatter died down Tuesday, Steffans posted a few cryptic tweets around the situation. “I’m Hurt,” tweeted Steffans. She added, “Drug and alcohol abuse/addiction ruins families. Seeking help is vital. Pray for addicts. Stand by them but take them to task. Be well.” It isn’t a secret that Short has contended with pub...

http://instagr.am/p/BDeTu5eAz9r/media/?size=l Offset can’t win for lost. The Migos rapper has been arrested again, this time for weed possession as well as driving with a suspended license in Chattahoochee, GA.  A couple of weeks back, Offset was unjustly arrested because it turned out his license wasn’t actually suspended , or so most everyone thought. Reports TMZ : Offset got pulled over by cops in Chattahoochee, GA and officers say they found marijuana … less than an ounce. He was arrested early Thursday morning for possession, obstruction of justice and also for driving on a suspended license … which is weird, since Atlanta cops recently booked him for that too. At the time, Offset said cops screwed up because he’d already cleared up his driver’s license issues. Chattahoochee PD disagrees. Surely there will be those of you who feel, like the Migos, that they are being targeted by the police. Maybe so, however, keeping weed on your person when cops tend to harass you...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Nas and his HSTRY clothing line have joined with the Ghostbusters franchise for a fashion collaboration that gives several knowing winks to popular series. Some of the pieces featured in the collaboration highlight key phrases and images from the films, with a video explaining how the original movies in the 1980s influenced him. As reported by HypeBeast in an exclusive preview, Nas and the minds behind the upcoming Ghostbusters film were on a Sony Pictures set in Culver City, Calif. The Queens veteran ran down what he thought of the earlier films, and shared a tale of how his mother took him and his brother to see the movie in 1984. Nas also speaks of his respect for original actors Dan Akroyd and Bill Murray and cited that he was fans of their Saturday Night Live work. The video also highlights Nas’ ambitions as a businessman. With his hands already involved in a variety of ventures, the rapper born Nasir Jones has hopes to become a mogul on the level of ...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J A young lady who found that her boyfriend had been flirting with followers on his Instagram page released a video where she holds a knife to his throat. All while making him denounce all other women; hence metaphorically cutting off his balls. In the emasculating 15 second clip, the scorned woman holds a butcher knife to the shaken flirt’s jugular while making him say: “You h*es need to stop commenting on my Instagram pictures. You are f*cking up our relationship.” After another motivational slap to the side of his dome, the visibly shaken boy adds, “And me and Riley are in love. Y’all hoes don’t matter.” No word on who the couple “in love” are, but all we can hope for now is that these kids get counseling – or a restraining order – and that no one forwards this video to Iggy Azalea . Could it be a hoax? It’s definitely struggle. Check the clip below and sound off in the comments. — Photo: screen cap The post Girlfriend Holds Knife To Her ...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Jay Z’s TIDAL isn’t trying to stay in one lane.

Tidal has already put in a request to Apple for approval to add movie streaming to their app, we’re told, and the service could be up and running as early as June. One source told us, “Tidal has upset everybody in the music business, the labels, Apple and [Interscope founder] Jimmy Iovine, and now it is taking on Netflix and Hulu. “The movie service will feature original content as well as acquired films. Tidal hopes to work with an indie studio or producer on a partnership to create original movies.” Reportedly, Irv Gotti will be involv...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J D’Angelo Russell has apologized for record a video of Nick Young that made it way onto the Internets where he seems to admit to cheating on his fiancee, Iggy Azalea. After it was confirmed that it was the NBA rookie who recorded the video, social media has been on fire .  Russell admitted he dropped the ball and is “sick” over the situation. Reports ESPN : Addressing the media for the first time on Wednesday, Russell said he’s “sick” over the situation. “I feel as sick as possible,” Russell said in a news conference before the team’s home game against the Heat. “Been asked 110 times and my answer and feeling stay same.” Russell added that he regrets the whole situation and the he wishes he “could make things better right away but I can’t.” The video, which is believed to have come to light last week via the Twitter account of a celebrity gossip site, shows Russell filming Young while asking questions about Young being with other women.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Whether it’s due to his issues with other rappers or simply because he needs a break, Rich Homie Quan’s been keeping a somewhat low profile as of late.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Despite all the jokes , the ramifications of D’Angelo Russell ‘s snitching are serious. Lakers head coach Byron Scott says he’s disappointed the “internal problem” was made public while Nick Young is in the midst of trying to save his relationship with fiancee Iggy Azalea.  As for Coach Scott, he told press at the Lakers’ shoot around today (March 30), “The only thing I’m disappointed is that it got it. We’re a family and we try to keep everything in house. So that’s the only thing I’m really disappointed about.” He added, “It’s an internal problem and we’ll deal with it.

Needless to say, their forthcoming marriage may be a no go.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J The anti-Donald Trump train is still gassed up and moving swiftly as the nation prepares to vote it’s 45th president into office this November. A crew of  Baltimore  teens are now added to the growing library of  Trump disses blazing the Internets. Dooley , Tlow , and Lor Roger uploaded the track “CIT4DT” and music video online last weekend, and it already went viral. The video features a whole squad of young men standing behind the trio as they lyrically threaten to kill Trump.  To start, they repeat “We got a choppa’ in the trunk for Donald Trump,” three times before jumping into the full diss. They barely look old enough to vote, but these guys aren’t actually aspiring rappers. They’re just a bunch of  budding Internet stars who made a record about Trump for fun. “We didn’t mean no harm by it,” 19-year-old Abdel Ibrahim (a.k.a Dooley) told the Baltimore Sun . “We don’t got no damn chopper [gun]!

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Now that the jury has regained their composure and is once again puddy in Johnnie Cochran’s hands, the greatest defense lawyer of all-time is looking to turn up the pressure. Tearing down Mark Fuhrman’s credibility is at the top of the list. In last night’s (March 29) episode of The People V. OJ Simpson , the dream team got wind that a screenplay writer named Laura Hart McKinny had interviewed Mark Fuhrman about his life as an LAPD officer. However, she was refusing to talk to them about it. The defense smelled blood and stopped at nothing to retrieve the tapes – which Cochran referred to as “Manna from Heaven” – that proved to be riddled with inflammatory and racist remarks. Seriously, this dude used the “N” word so many times you’d think he did it just to keep his teeth white. All the while Christopher Darden is hanging on by a thread to his temper and sanity due to Cochran’s constant bullying in the courtroom and in the media. Who knows what would’ve becam...

I think people are really gonna enjoy it.” The vocalist was asked by Dash about performing the new tracks, which Evans responded that...

http://ift.tt/1pKTbU0 Some basketball journalism purists will surely be mad, but magazine need to be sold and the concept is dope. Drake covers the latest issue of SLAM alongside Toronto Raptors DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry. They’re repping the 6, and it makes sense. Says SLAM : And why this cover? Why now? If it was as simple as SLAM being the “hip-hop basketball magazine,” a description bestowed on us for years by outsiders (if not us), we would have put a rapper on the cover years ago. It had to be the right rapper, which Drake, with his millions of fans, upcoming album and official role as the Raptors Global Ambassador, is. And it had to be the right players, which Kyle and DeMar, fresh off their All-Star spots and still hungry for their first SLAM cover, certainly are. And the right timing. With the upstart Raptors poised to go on the franchise’s deepest Playoff run ever, our Playoff Issue certainly fit that bill. Hope you guys agree. SLAM no. 198 hits newsstands ne...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J The war of words between rappers Joey BadA$$ and Troy Ave heated up just a pinch more after the Pro Era captain took aim during a classic “5 Fingers of Death” freestyle on Sway In The Morning . The phenom didn’t mention his fellow borough rival by name, but several lines during the freestyle are unmistakenly aimed. Personally, we won’t even waste your time trying to decipher the many layers of Joey’s display but if anyone ever doubted his pen before, they might be changing their tune after watching him go crazy over a series of notable instrumentals.
