http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Malachi Love-Robinson , the Florida teen who was arrested earlier this year on charges of posing as a doctor, was arrested Monday (Aug. 29) on what appears to be outstanding warrants. The former “Dr. Love” is facing new charges of larceny and fraud after being jailed for a few hours and later posting bond. According to a report from the Palm Beach Post , Love-Robinson was in court Monday where his attorney was requesting to be removed from the case. Love-Robinson was in the 15th Judicial Court of Florida in West Palm Beach where Circuit Judge Krista Marx granted defense attorney Leonard Feuer’s request to no longer represent Love-Robinson in the matter. The 19-year-old doctor impersonator was taken into custody just after Feuer’s withdrawal. From the Palm Beach Post : Court records regarding the new charges weren’t immediately available Monday, but stem from incidents that occurred before investigators raided Love-Robinson’s West Palm Beach holistic medi...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Unbeknownst to some, Hannibal Buress is standup comic who’s been on his way up for a hot minute. While Kevin Hart was experiencing a coming out party for the ages for the past few years, Buress was busy outing Bill Cosby’s dirty laundry and having to deal with the praise and fallout that it entailed. Today the Chicago comedian checked into The Breakfast Club where Charlamagne Tha God called him a “legend killer” and got him to jokingly admit to spilling all of Nate Parker’s tea as well. When he wasn’t joking around – which was rare – Buress spoke about getting clowned during his high school days for being dark skinned, the $26 incident with an overzealous fan, and getting G checked by Jay-Z. Here are the 9 things we learned from Hannibal Buress on The Breakfast Club . — Photo: Power 105 The post 9 Things We Learned About Hannibal Buress On The Breakfast Club appeared first on Hip-Hop Wired . from Hip Hop Wired

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Drake and Rihanna fans were experiencing nirvana when a website—drakeandrihanna.com—had a countdown clock to what was thought to be the release of a collab. However, it turns out they got hoodwinked by notorious Internet personality Joanne The Scammer . Doh!

Joanne is a character played by Branden Miller. He tells us … he made the fake site as payback for Drake not taking a selfie with Joanne at the VMAs. Branden claims he got bum-rushed by security when he tried to take the shot.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J T.I. has released another “woke” politically-charged track with “War Zone.” It seems as if ever since T.I. has become an independent artist and co-owner of TIDAL, he has been using the platform to put out songs like “ We Will Not ” reflecting the reality that this country is living in. His latest effort is “War Zone.” Over bed of frantic piano keys T.I. sways between being calmly skeptical, worried and urgent. He addresses event ranging from the Philando Castile shooting to the Dylan Roof terrorist attack. He also offers his perspective on how Hip-Hop gets silent or silenced when events like those happen. While he does sound a bit misinformed when he talks about the suicide-hanging of Michael George Smith Jr. in Atlanta [it was widely believed that the KKK did it], T.I. is still able to get the rest of his points across. “War Zone” is a TIDAL exclusive.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Baylee Curran , the woman behind the Chris Brown 911 fiasco that dominated timelines Tuesday (Aug. 30), has a little dirt on her hands as well. The former beauty pageant winner is wanted in New York for questioning regarding the theft of an expensive purse in a city hotel. TMZ exclusively reports: Baylee was vacationing with a few friends at The Plaza back in 2013 when they began arguing in the hotel. According to police docs, Baylee snatched a $1,000 Louis Vuitton purse from one of the girls and ran out of the hotel. The purse contained $200 in cash, as well as credit cards and a Michael Kors wallet. Security chased Baylee, who allegedly dropped the purse but somehow fled with the contents. By the time cops arrived Baylee was long gone. There’s a warrant of sorts — it’s called an I-Card — which will allow NYPD cops to pick her up and take her to the station for questioning, if they find her in the city. Curran’s reps told TMZ that she didn’t know she w...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Marvel’s Luke Cage  for Netflix is one of the most highly anticipated shows coming this fall, and the minds behind the superhero tale joined together to reveal the first of a behind the scenes video series. In Part One of the “Street Level Hero” social video series, the music used in the show is explained in grand detail. The first video of the social series features Executive Producer Cheo Hodari Coker, series lead Mike Colter, Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest , producer Andrian Younge, A$AP Ferg and Wu-Tang Clan legend Method Man.

An especially excited Method Man said, “Brothers like me been waiting for this since I was eight years old.” Meth is certainly not alone on this...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Political clown Donald Trump visiting Mexico as he nears towards giving a long-awaited speech on his immigration policies. Many Americans want him to stay there.   Trump shared the news via Twitter. I have accepted the invitation of President Enrique Pena Nieto, of Mexico, and look very much forward to meeting him tomorrow. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 31, 2016 CNN reported that the “Mexican President confirmed in a tweet late Tuesday night that Trump had accepted Peña Nieto’s invitation and that the two will meet privately.” The meeting is interesting seeing as how much of Trump ‘s campaign has been built on his promise to “build a wall” to keep illegal immigrants from entering the country. With Trump set to visit, many are hoping that he stays there or gets stuck there. Especially since El Chapo and his “services” are no longer available. The people of Mexico line up to greet the possible arrival of Donald Trump http://...

http://ift.tt/2bR4Lqi Shout out to Netflix for doing the obvious. Hit sci-fi series Stranger Things has been officially picked up for a second season, and it already has a new trailer.  Stranger Things is set in 1983 and is a supernatural horror series that made for some addictive binge watching. Think: The X-Files meets  The Goonies along with all types of 80’s fright movie references. And Eggos. A second season was a no-brainer considering how the eight episode first season concluded (no spoilers here). In the trailer, we hear the now familiar opening credit music and get the titles of its nine episodes. If you haven’t seen the first season yet, get your life together. Season 2 will premiere in 2017 and according to Variety , they’ve already been shooting episodes.

http://instagr.am/p/-6XWUVnkmZ/media/?size=l Did DJ Khaled go against his words and play himself by rocking a custom made Goyard jacket at the MTV Video Music Awards? DJ Khaled’s appearance at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards was a big one as he hosted the pre-show ceremonies and acted as a correspondent for the main event. However, the sharply dressed DJ’s wardrobe was called into question. Khaled was spotted what looked to be a silk jacket made by luxury brand Goyard which is currently a favorite among rich rappers. In case you and your bank account are unfamiliar, it’s the company that makes the stuff with the “Y” all over it. Anyways. Khaled was spotted at the VMAs and at afterparties wearing this.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Cleveland Cavalier’s shooting guard Iman Shumpert is shooting while he’s hot. The hooper/rapper just dropped a new track called “Glory” after his brief cameo in Kanye West’s “Fade” video. In basketball, this is what would be called a “heat check.” As the world is still salivating at the sight of his future wife and the mother of his child, Teyana Taylor , Shumpert is hoping to capitalize by dropping some new music. The track is a sample of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ 2009 hit “Heads Will Roll.” Shump opens the song rapping: “Ya’ll gonna pay for my struggle/ People love a true story/But people want you to suffer/ Cuz they ain’t never been in your glory/ They ain’t never had no money/ They can’t understand no shoppin'” He also raps his sick shoe game saying that his kicks “are harder to get than my b*tch.” Oh my. What do you think of Shump’s bars? Are they competing with Damian Lillard or are they down there with Dwyane Wade ? Let us know. Photo: WENN.com ...

http://instagr.am/p/BIOYYRxAP9O/media/?size=l Tyga has yet to meet a bill that he can’t pay late, if at all. The rapper was out shopping for a Bentley when the whip he took to the dealership, a Ferrari, got repossessed.  Oh yeah, Kylie Jenner witnessed the whole thing. Reports TMZ : We’re told Tyga hopped in his fancy red sports car Tuesday with Kylie and drove to the Bentley dealership in Calabasas. Little did he know that while they were checking out new whips … his current one was about to get swiped. Sources on the lot tell us the repo man showed up armed with a spare key for the Ferrari, jumped in, started it up and headed down the nearest freeway. We’re told Tyga missed a couple of his lease payments, and the lessor wasn’t taking any chances. Don’t worry, Kylie and Tyga got a ride home from one of his homies. Wait, he had to call a homie? How about an Uber? If you’re trying to keep track, Tyga also allegedly owes significant sums to a jeweler  and yet a...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Chris Brown is out on bail after after being arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. After a wild Tuesday [August 30] that included a marathon police standoff at Brown’s home, a social media rant proclaiming his innocence and a suspected White female victim taking to social media to plead her case as well, the superstar singer was taken into custody on suspicion of pointing a gun in a woman’s face. Facts are still sketchy about what actually happened at Brown’s home in the wee hours of Tuesday morning with everyone from Ray J to Brown’s friends speaking out, but the only concrete bit of information that has emerged is that Chris Brown was taken to jail and then released on $250,000 bond on Tuesday night. So far, the story goes that Brown was hosting a small party at his house and that one of the guests, Bailey Curran, began “admiring” his jewelry. At that point Brown reportedly went off and pulled a gun out on her, after which she rep...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Isaiah Rashad has revealed why we didn’t get a lot of music from him after 2014’s Cilvia Demo . Drugs. Isaiah Rashad seemed poised to ride the TDE wave to superstardom when he dropped his debut project Cilvia Demo to widespread acclaim. But, when he didn’t follow up the project with any substantial amount of music, which is the norm nowadays, fans started wondering where he was and what he was doing. In an interview on the Juan Epstien podcast, Rashad revealed that drug addiction is the reason why his music output came to a halt. He says that after he got off tour with ScHoolboy Q ‘s Oxymoron tour in 2015, drugs and alcohol pretty much took over his life. In the interview he says : “Honestly, I got off the Oxymoron tour kinda addicted to xans and an alcoholic…I f*cked up…I f*cked up pretty bad. I almost got dropped like three times.” TDE is known to run a tight, efficient ship, so Rashad was really skating on thin ice. While he did wind up conqueri...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Raheem Devaughn and Wes Felton are veteran performers from the vastly underrated DMV music scene, both taking solo paths after initially joining as a formidable duo early in their careers. The brothers in music have joined forces once more as The CrossRhodes with their new single “Footprints On The Moon, and their message couldn’t be more timely considering the nation’s tensions around race . Fans of DeVaughn might have arrived at his music during the period of his 2005 major label debut, The Love Experience , but by then he had already amassed a large body of work as a singer and collaborator with groups like Urban Ave 31. Across Washington and Baltimore, the hard-working crooner mixed an old-school sensibility with a modern awareness of the politics of the day. Like DeVaughn, Wes Felton, formerly known as W. Ellington Felton, stormed throughout the DMV area as a poet, rapper, and public figure. Felton began releasing projects in 1996 and collaborated with...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Nick Young aka Swaggy P doesn’t appreciate all of the attention his neighbor Chris Brown is drawing to the neighborhood with his police standoff. The NBA player took to social media to tell Brown he has to move. Apparently Young stays pretty close to where Chris Brown lives, so he has the same helicoptors flying over his home too right now. Earlier today, Young stepped outside to the chaos and gave Breezy some sound advice, move. “Chris Brown, you go to move man,” says Young in the clip. “Gone, get away from here please. You making the block hot buddy. You my friend and all, but you got to go.” Swaggy P goes on to say that there’s only a few Black people who live in the neighborhood and that “they really only want two of us over here.” Check out the clip for yourself below.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J She’s leaving, but not on that midnight train to Georgia. Gladys Knight minus The Pips is suing her son to stop using her likeness to move fried chicken and waffles and have all memorabilia decorating the restaurants returned to her ASAP. The “Midnight Train To Georgia” singer originally gave her son her blessing to use her image for the restaurant but decided to cut ties when the feds got involved in the family business. Reports TMZ : Gladys wants the person now running the restaurants previously managed by her son, Shanga Hankerson , to 86 her from signs and promotions for the chicken and waffle joints. Gladys says she gave the green light to use her name and image for the restaurants back in ’99, but put the kibosh on the deal a few months ago after  the eateries were raided  by the Georgia Department of Revenue. Her son was arrested for allegedly pocketing a million bucks. Biggie said it best, “Keep ya family and business completel...

http://ift.tt/2byOKL0 French Montana is the most successful struggle rapper ever, and his list of bodies is getting crazy. The Bronx rapper seems to be smashing quasi-rapper Iggy Azalea.  French Montana took a picture with his head next to Azalea’s butt and took her and some of her friends on a trip to Cabo San Luca, Mexico. Says Page Six : Azalea was first linked to Montana in late July. After the “Fancy” crooner performed a 20-minute set at Jewel nightclub inside the Aria Resort in Las Vegas, she chatted up Montana in the club’s VIP section before they hit the dance floor. E! News later confirmed the two left together. Though Azalea and Montana originally kept their rumored relationship under wraps, the Australian native is fresh off a broken engagement to NBA star Nick Young. Azalea announced their breakup in June. Per Internet protocol, this means he’s pretty much blowing her back out. Check out pics from the getaway below and on the flip. — Photo: Instagram The...

The British actor of Pakistani decent speaks on growing into his British identity, pokes fun at Donald Trump’s immigrant logic, and talks about getting racially profiled when flying to the US. But the actor slated to appear in the highly anticipated Star Wars: Rogue One really turned heads – or made them bop rather – when he turned into Riz MC and kicked some decent rap bars.

http://instagr.am/p/BJvSyYig04n/media/?size=l Chris Brown is at one with the struggle once again, this after police arrived at his home after a woman claimed in a 911 call that he pulled a gun on her. Breezy went on a wild rant on Instagram as the Los Angeles Police Department continues to wait for a search warrant outside his Tarzana home. Earlier Tuesday morning (Aug. 30), Brown posted three Instagram videos aimed at the LAPD and mocking their efforts to enter his home according to a Fox News report. TMZ exclusively reported that the R&B star threw a duffel bag filled with guns, weapons, and drugs outside a window during a reported standoff. Brown mentioned there was a heavy police presence at his home and that helicopters and news outlets have surrounded his compound. From Fox News : “I ain’t did s–t. I ain’t going to do s–t. And it’s always going to be be f–k the police black lives matter n—er,” he said. “I don’t care y’all going to stay playing with me like I’m the ...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Former NFL player and current NBC Sports commentator Rodney Harrison has offered yet another ill-advised and misguided opinion on Colin Kaepernick protesting the nation anthem. According to Harrison, Kaepernick should be standing during the anthem because he doesn’t really have anything to protest. He pleaded his case during an interview with SportsTalk 790. Let him explain (per Complex ): “I just think he’s going about it the wrong way. And if he really wants to make change, sitting his butt down on the bench, that’s not going to change [anything]. That’s going to get people very upset, and he has to understand that. If you think you’re sitting against the national anthem, well, a lot of people really served before his time and are now trying to give him the freedoms and the liberties and the opportunities he has to be able to make the money that he has and the ability to speak and have a voice.” Hold on, he’s not finished. Harrison went on to say. “I’...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Retired NFL running back and media personality Tiki Barber is without a doubt one of the most recognizable players to lace them up for the New York Giants . However, Barber is getting sauteed and flambéed on Twitter after attempting to pull off a politician’s move of playing both sides of the recent Colin Kaepernick National Anthem debate. For context, Barber appeared on CBS’ This Morning program Monday (Aug. 29) and shared his stance on Kaepernick’s controversial protest. Barber said in his appearance on CBS that while he agrees with Kaepernick’s attempt to address America’s racial divide, he still criticized the player for not respecting the flag or the country. Twitter caught wind of Barber’s tap dance routine and are rightfully lighting into him for not picking a true side. Barber is just the latest in a long line of folks looking to tear down Kaepernick’s First Amendment rights and make it bigger than it needs to be instead of examining what brought hi...

Enter Pastor Mark Burns , the colored contact wearing, Trump shoe shiner who Tweeted an image of Hillary Clinton in blackface, and now says he didn’t know it was offensive. Burns deleted the tweet, but this is the Internets, bruh. Burns tried to cop pleas about the tweet on MSNBC, and failed by trying to talk about everything else but the offensive picture. “I am standing behind that picture,” Burns told MSNBC’s Kristen Welker. “We as African-Americans, we need to make Democrats fight for our vote. We need to make them fight for us. We need to make them do what they say they are gonna do, because we are just as valuable as every race in the great state of the United States of America.” Good look getting more African-American votes for Donald Trump, sir. He then took to Periscope to offer up an apology (see on the flip). Let us know if you think Burns should also apolog...

Those who have taken up the White Lives Matter aren’t exactly after fair treatment, though—and they have now been deemed a hate group.  Reports the New York Times : A white nationalist group called White Lives Matter, which calls itself an opponent of the Black Lives Matter movement, has been declared a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that tracks extremist groups in the United States. “The White Lives Matter website says their movement is dedicated to the preservation of the white race. That tells you all you need to know,” said Heidi Beirich, the director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala. “They’re against integration, immigration. This is standard white supremacist stuff.” The group, ...

The mayor turned television talking head appeared on Fox & Friends and gave his opinion on Bey’s performance that artistically called out police brutality, much like her Lemonade video did. Giuliani , who did not watch the show when it aired, was show parts of the performance and told what the symbolism behind the performance was. He responded with the most Giuliani-esque response possible. Per Politico : I had five uncles who were police officers, two cousins who were, one who died in the line of duty. I ran the largest and best police department in the world, the New York City Police Department. And I saved more black lives than any of those people you saw on stage by reducing crime and particularly homicide by 75 percent…4,000 or 5,000 were African-American young people who are alive today because of the policies I ...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Ray J wasn’t at all inspired by Kanye West’s speech at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. According to TMZ, Ray J is telling people, “Kanye West is a hypocrite for embracing his wife’s sex tape now that it suits his purposes, after blasting Ray J for daring to write a song about the famous video.” Three Mile Zone continues : We’re told Ray is livid that Kanye rhapsodized about the sex tape during the VMAs … even giving him a shout-out. You’ll recall after Ray J dropped “I Hit it First,” Kanye called him “Brandy’s little sister “ and threw in “lame” for bad measure. Ray J can’t do anything about his cameo in the “Famous” video, but he’s not happy about it … and it has nothing to do with shame over the sex tape. He just feels Kanye is two-faced for turning his nose up at the tape but then embracing it to make a buck. We’re told Ray is also pissed that Kim trashed him after he released “I Hit it First,” but then grinned ear to ear at the VMAs w...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Frank Ocean ‘s finesse move is paying off greatly. His independently released Apple Music exclusive album Blonde has hit the top of the Billboard 200 charts and has reportedly made him more than $1 million in one week. In case you missed it, Frank Ocean released two albums earlier this month. The first, Endless , was a visual album released on Def Jam. The other, Blonde was an album that he released independently on Apple Music since Endless ended his contractual obligation to Def Jam. So far, Blonde  has received more of the attention and acclaim. Ocean has been applauded for the shrewd move and his pockets are even more thankful. Billboard reports : So far, Blonde has generated about $2.12 million in total, according to Billboard ‘s estimate. (Note that the following tallies are based on the assumption that Ocean is receiving 70 percent of revenues, since Blonde was self-released — in a major fiscal coup for the artist.) Of that fi...

http://ift.tt/2bOuek9 Sean Kingston stays posting photos of himself in all types of gaudy and expensive jewelry on social media. However, it’s becoming pretty obvious the “Beautiful Girls” singer doesn’t have the funds to afford said bling—and he’s getting sued for his lack of finesse. Reports TMZ : NYC jeweler Aqua Master just sued Kingston over 9 pieces of jewelry he scooped up last month — valued at more than $300,000. The jeweler says Sean promised his biz manager would wire money to pay his tab. According to the suit, Aqua got 2 checks instead of a wire transfer … and they bounced. Meanwhile, Sean was enjoying 2 diamond necklaces, a few gold chains, a ring, a bracelet and 2 watches. A rep for Aqua tells us Sean even flaunted the goods on IG.  Besides not paying his bills, Kingston has been allegedly robbed of his jewelry multiple times . Peep pics of Sean Kingston rocking chains, watches and rings, that may not really be his, below and on the flip. — Photo:...

http://ift.tt/2cnWEqq Jerry Rice is team All Lives Matter. The NFL Hall of Famer did his best I’m not Black I’m OJ Simpson impression by going on Twitter to chime in on Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand during the singing of the National Anthem at NFL games.  “All lives matter,” tweeted Rice. “So much going on in this world today.Can we all just get along! Colin,I respect your stance but don’t disrespect the Flag.” The additional irony here is Rice quoting Rodney King, whose brutal beatdown was caught on tape, yet the all the officers were acquitted. This of course led to the infamous L.A. riots. Was Rice aware of this when choosing his words? We’re going to guess not. Rice also says he respects Kaepernicks stance—but can he really do so while saying “all lives matter”? As expected, Twitter is now in full attack mode thanks to the tone deafness and tap dancing coon nature of Rice’s message. Peep the vitriol below and on the following pages. . @JerryRice , I'...
