Troy Ave in some real Doo Doo. The rapper caught up in a murder.
There was an arrest in the fatal shooting of a concert goer at a T.I. concert. It's a surprise that the suspect is a fellow rapper. The rapper Troy Ave (known as Roland Collins) was placed in the county lockup after being spotted on cameras popping his piece.
Troy Ave best known for the single "Your Style". Now the rapper will be facing a murder charge that could land him in the iron college for LIFE. Of course, the suspect is innocent until proven guilty.
This incident happened at the Irving Place auditorium.
T.I. (Clifford Harris) was about to perform but there was a dispute in the VIP room where Troy Ave was in the room and he started popping. He was clearly identified.
He accidently shot himself in the leg and was being treated for his injuries. The NYPD quickly arrested him without incident. He is still at the hospital under heavy guard.
The victim was identified as 33-year old Ronald McPhatter. He was shot in the stomach after trying to protect the girlfriend of rapper Maino.
The rapper released two albums "New York City: The Album and Major Without a Deal
The definition of irony is Troy Ave. A man who clearly wanted to be a "street rapper". He is the definition of an ignorant rapper.
Gucci Mane out of federal time out. Plans on releasing a mixtape.
The Atlanta rapper was released from federal time out yesterday. Radric Davis, known to the world as the Gucci Mane was granted freedom from the Terre Haute federal time out.
On top of that, he wants to release a mixtape. Tonight he will release a mixtape at 10:17pm.
A nod to his label 1017 Records.
Big Guwop escaped a 20 year sentence after being hit up with federal charges. Back in 2013, the rapper spazzed out. He was caught in the Atlanta streets with a semi-automatic after binging on the snow. He was quickly arrested and treated for injuries inflicted on himself.
After being sent to detox, he was given the choice, straighten up or face 20 in federal time out.
His lawyers worked out a reasonable sentence. He got three years in federal time out and 10 years of supervised in-house.
Gucci Mane is free man. Well wishes to the King of East Atlanta.
Gucci Mane released over 12 albums and 54 mixtapes.
When 50 Cent came to Dayton to promote his Effin Vodka, he took a flight out of Cincinnati.
The rapper was at the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport in Erlanger, Kentucky.
He shares some of his daily routine on social media and his fans love it.
The rapper whipped out a camera and started filming a worker. He decided to rim on the worker.
The rapper was dumping on a worker by accused him of being high. He said that airport worker Andrew Farrell looks like he's high and retarded. He publicly humiliated the worker on social media.
He was unaware that the worker was autistic.
The capo of The Unit now faces a national backlash from the junk food media for his childish behavior. He managed to get his vodka pulled off the shelves of liquor stores.
He also got tongue lashed by those in the entertainment community for being such an ass.
50 Cent was using his iPhone to mock a Cincinnati airport worker.
50 admits that he's an idiot and released a press statement telling the public he was sorry for acting a fool at the airport. He wrote the apology to Andrew saying it wasn't his intentions to insult a man doing his job.
Farrell said that 50's actions were ignorant and he wants the rapper to meet him at a center for autistic children. So far, no word on 50 making any other appearance since the controversy.
At the local Arrow Spirits and Wine, the owner decided that he's not going to be associated with the rapper's products after he posted that on social media. He thanked 50 for coming to Dayton to give autographs to the shoppers but he doesn't want that reputation to hang on his store.
Who is the most dumbest rapper?
So as you see above, a poll. I added a few new entities to this poll. After all, last poll clearly went to Tyga as being the most dumbest rapper.
Afeni Shakur, the mother of the late rapper Tupac Shakur passed away today. The mother who inspired her son for greatness was found dead in her Marin County, California home.
The family confirmed that she passed away from an apparent heart attack.
Shakur was an activist and motivational speaker. She urged rappers to put aside their differences for the sake of the Black community. There was a brutal hip-hop war between the West coast and the East coast. It led to the deaths of her son and his longtime rival the Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie Smalls).
Her name became famous in the 1995 Tupac Shakur single "Dear Mama" off the Me Against the World album.
Afeni Shakur sued Death Row for all of Tupac's music and licensing fees. She was awarded a cache of unreleased music, movie reels and poems from the rapper who many saw as a poetic but yet troubled soul.
Shakur led the fight to get a museum in her son's honor.
The queen of a pride. Afeni Shakur fought to have her son Tupac Shakur's legacy preserved.
Afeni Shakur (born Alice Faye Williams) was an American music businesswoman, philanthropist, political activist and Black Panther. She acted as her own criminal defense attorney after being accused of taking part in numerous bombings as a member of the Panthers.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Afeni Shakur. The legacy of Tupac Shakur will forever be etched in music history. Afeni, a beautiful woman in the fight for equality in America.
Afeni Shakur you will be missed by me and S. Baldwin.
T'yanna Wallace, the daughter of the greatest MC of all time calls out Sean "Puffy" Combs.
She was totally out of the loop when Diddy didn't invite her to a celebration concert for her father.
T'yanna is the daughter of the Notorious B.I.G., a Brooklyn based rapper/producer who rose to critical acclaim after releasing Ready to Die and put Combs's label Bad Boy on the map.
She took to social media to slam the media mogul for being being a liar and fake ass punk for not including her and mother Jan Jackson. Biggie also had a son with Faith Evans named Christopher Wallace, Jr, known as CJ.
Diddy quickly reached out to her. He said that his made a mistake and he will invite T'yanna and her family to the concert. T'yanna scrubbed her social media posts and told the junk food media, everything is cool.
CJ Wallace. The son of late rapper Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans.
The Notorious B.I.G. (born Christopher George Latore Wallace) won praise and respect among most MCs. He also got entangled into a huge feud with Tupac Shakur and his label Death Row. The junk food media labeled their feud the East Coast vs. West Coast hip-hop war. It ultimately ended in the death of Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas in September 1996.
Biggie Smalls as he was also known was murdered in Los Angeles after leaving a hip-hop awards party in March 1997. Some say that the death was a retaliation killing and the murders of both Biggie and 'Pac still remain unsolved.
His last living album Life After Death came out a few days later.
T'yanna was only three years old when her father was gunned down. CJ was only a few month old when his father was gunned down.
The rapper would have been 44-years old if he was alive today. His birthday was on May 20.
Hamburger Helper releases Watch The Stove on iTunes.
General Mills releases an actual mixtape.
Watch The Stove is actually a mixtape released by Lefty, the Hamburger Helper mascot. It's a good mixtape. As an April Fool's Prank, the company wanted to give Lefty some real beef.
The title is a mocking of Jay-Z and Kanye West's album Watch The Throne.
It takes a shot at Meek Mill. Because remember in July, the Philly rapper was engaged in a serious rap beef with Drake. Drake served him hard. And General Mills couldn't resist making Meek Mill the butt of their promotional campaign. General Mills reached out to music manager/educator Craig Rice for help putting the project together. Rice, a teacher at McNally Smith College of Music in Minnesota and had Toki Wright as the performer of the mixtape.
In the mix, Lefty recording the mixtape.
Wright is an established hip-hop artist having released albums with Rhymesayers, Wright is also the Department Head of the nation’s first fully accredited Hip-hop Studies Diploma and Minor Program at the school. Jumping at the chance to get his students involved in a project that could reach a large audience, they got to work.
Atlanta rapper Bankroll Fresh was killed in a senseless shooting.
The hip-hop community mourns the loss of Atlanta rapper Bankroll Fresh (also known as Yung Fresh). He was a rapper from the area who started his label Street Money entertainment. Known as Trentavious White, the rapper was associated with 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka Flame and Young Scooter.
He scored a hit with his single "Hot Boy" off the Life of a Hot Boy mixtape. Then he would release the follow-up Life of a Hot Boy 2 and Bankroll Fresh (the Mixtape).
Bankroll Fresh self titled mixtape was released on DatPiff.
While working on another mixtape, Bankroll Fresh got ambushed by unknown assailants outside the Street Execs Studio on Friday.
2 Chainz, Future, Juicy J, Waka Flocka Flame and numerous other Atlanta based entertainers came out with sympathies and demands for justice.
Witnesses were concerned about the studio and the possible outbreak of violence. Some people were complaining that the music was loud into the night and they seen an increase of criminal activity around the neighborhood.
Police told CNN affiliate WSB-TV that they collected more than 50 shell casings inside and outside the studio. A motive for his killing is unknown.
CNN has reached out to Street Execs Studios and the Underwood Hills Neighborhood Association for comment.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Bankroll Fresh. We also send our condolences to country gospel musician Joey Feek. She passed away of cancer.
The pile of money spelled B-R-O-K-E. That's really classy, 50....make fun of the real situation.
The Daily Mail reports that the 40-year-old rapper also lost a legal battle with his ex-business partners over a failed headphone deal and was slapped with a $17 million judgement in that case.
According to his Chapter 11 petition, Fifty claimed he had assets between $10 to $50 million but that his liabilities were in the same range.
Last month, he filed documents in the bankruptcy stating he only had $16 million in assets.
However, it appears appraisers checked into it all - and found his assets total over $64 million and that he only has liabilities totaling more than $36 million.
In addition, 50 Cent's current monthly income is $184,000-plus. The appraisers also valued his home goods to $131,000 including $49,000 in jewelry alone.
Appraisers found he has over $10 million in checking and stocks as well as his various G-Unit and other business' which are worth over $44 million.
His bankruptcy claims have come into question by Judge Ann Nevins, who is concerned over his actual need for bankruptcy and has asked for him to explain a series of photographs he posted to social media.
Today is his former rival Ja Rule's birthday. Ja Rule (born Jeffery Atkins) was born on February 29. He turns 40 years old today. I wonder which day would he celebrate his birthday on the off years!
I bet you money that Ja isn't sweating over money!
The Unit in 2003. Young Buck, Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks, The Game and 50 Cent.
The Game and Lloyd Banks pose for a social media photo. It kind of seems like it's 50 Cent isn't keen to Banks posing with Game.
Game and his crew saw Banks and his crew in the playground of Dubai. They were cordial enough to take a picture together. No guns drawn. No fists or insults on each others.
A photo posted by The Game (@losangelesconfidential) on
All peace and respect. But it didn't go good for the Unit 's capo.
50 is taking a jab at the two for the picture. He says that this is the biggest confusion to hit him.
Before he scrubbed the post on Instagram, 50 said, "What do you see when you look at this picture? I see confusion, I'm not sure if it's just me, I'm a Cancer shit don't get old with me," wrote the Queens rapper. "I never ask for trouble but I really don't have a problem with it I'm different. The question isn't how I feel about it, but how dose ( Lodi Mac ) feel about it? Some shit is just better off left alone."
It's the feud that never ends. Over 10 years ago, Game was signed to the Unit. Game and 50 were cool for some point but it went downhill.
Game and 50 got into it over the release of The Documentary and The Massacre. 50 said that Game didn't give credit to the Unit when they contributed to his album. He fired Game out the cannon on radio and it led to a member of Game's posse getting shot.
Jimmy Iovine at the time ordered them to settle the feud. They made public statement saying that the tensions between the two have settled. The tensions escalated when 50 and Game traded bars on their mixtapes. Game released the 300 Bars and let 50 and The Unit have it.
Game was eventually fired out the cannon with Aftermath. He would release his other albums on Geffen and eOne Entertainment.
50 was eventually fired out the cannon with Aftermath and Shady Records. He blamed Dr. Dre and Eminem for stalling his releases. So 50 and The Unit went on to Caroline Records to release his music.
So far, the rappers are struggling to stay afloat. They don't sell the platinum albums like they used to. They compete with mainstream acts like Future, Drake, Macklemore, Pitbull and Nicki Minaj.
Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and Kidd Kidd settled their feud with Game. 50 and Tony Yayo said, "they'll die happy knowing Game ain't around!"
Game still sneak disses 50 and Yayo occasionally. This feud will never end.
Matter of fact, Game has not buried the hatchet with another rapper in the game. Game had enough of "phony Bloods" running their mouths. He's aiming at Young Thug for being a "pussyboi who dressing in women's wear". This feud started when Game came to defense of fellow Blood, Lil' Wayne when he was threatened retaliation against Birdman for his royalties.
Lil' Wayne has since settled the feud with Birdman and Thugger.
If you're looking for another hip-hop feud, tune into Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa. They'll entertain you!
An old feud is reignited. This started over a misunderstanding. But given the controversy that follows Chicago's very own Kanye West, everything is big and his ego drives in cruise control.
He and Wiz Khalifa are back at it again.
And it started over of all things "Kim". Really, it wasn't about Kim, but to Kanye, anything KK is his.

What’s sad is I love Wiz and I love all all my brothers and all people
It seems like in the middle of the Twitter rant, he took a dig at Wiz's ex-wife Amber Rose and their son Sebastian Taylor. Kanye is still bitter about the break up with Amber. So he clapped at her.
What he also did was bring Wiz and Amber's son in this rant. And that's when Amber clapped at him.
Amber Rose basically said that Kanye loves to take it in the butt. She basically saying that he's into the fingers in the anal cavity.
Kanye denied this on social media before he deleted that as well.
"Exes can be mad but just know I never let them play with my ass," West wrote late Thursday. "I don't do that... I stay away from that area all together."
One minute later, West elaborated: "I'm not into that kind of shit," he tweeted. "I like pictures and videos Me and my wife got the kind of love that can turn exes into best friends."
Amber Rose discussed the ordeal in an interview to be released Friday. "I wouldn't have said anything if it was just between him and Wiz," she said on the Allegedly podcast. "That's two grown men hashing it out. That's their business. I would have kept it cute and just minded my business, but you don't bring in my baby. That's so corny."
Wiz while on tour basically said to his audience "fuck Kanye". He said that when you talk about his son, you're an enemy! "You better run, NIGGA!" says Wiz Khalifa.
Kanye is preparing for his seventh album titled Waves. It's going to be highly anticipated.
Wiz is also dropping Khalifa in February 4th. The album comes out a week before Waves comes out on February 11th.
It seems like Kim Kardashian is everywhere. The media loves her and her family. E! Entertainment is making her and her family very rich. Her mother Kris, the ex-wife of then Bruce (now Caitlyn) Jenner, her brothers and sisters roll deep with cameras in tow.
Kanye West, Tyga, Blac Chyna, Lamar Odom, Reggie Bush, Kris Humphries, Ray J, and French Montana got caught into the spin and they're being rinsed.
Kim Kardashian's popularity brings a curse. There are some in the junk food media who believe that Kim's impact on the nation has "dumb down" America.
Cable network strikes back at washed up celebrity Stacey Dash
Stacey Dash getting hammered by Black entertainers. The washed up actress who appeared on that right wing network to blast a cable network that caters to Black culture.
BET got a taste of the venom Dash delivered a week ago. She went on that right wing network to say that Black America should eliminate Black History Month, BET and the NAACP Image Awards.
Dash believes that these awards are solely handed to Black entertainers and not White ones.
Of course, she got that wrong. BET fired back at her for that one. They even said that she's one to talk. Her ass appeared on the BET comedy-drama The Game.
BET devoted Jams to her. They played every video of her with the hashtag #NeverForget,
Videos that featured Stacey Dash included Memphis rapper MJG "That Girl", Carl Thomas' "Emotional", Kanye West's "All Falls Down", and Rick Ross' "Super High".
I am guessing BET is playing "Moving", "Mo Money", "Clueless" and Renaissance Man. These were movies Dash appeared in.
Rick Ross and Stacey Dash on the set of his music video.
Dash got slammed by her cousin Dame Dash, the former CEO of Roc-A-Fella Records. He says his cousin is doing "world class coonary"
She blasted Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee for boycotting the Oscars after they failed to nominate Black entertainers. Jada's husband Will Smith was snubbed in his role in Concussion.
Many agitators in the junk food media claim that Jada and Will's Overbrook Entertainment doesn't do enough for the Black community. They claim that now "they want to take action after it affects them".
For the record, Jada and Will have donated $$$$$$$$$$$ to charity and invested in working in the communities they've grown up in. Will grew up in Philadelphia and Jada grew up in Baltimore.
As usual the concern troll nonsense that drives attention from reality. Out of 2,900 awards being handed out, only 31 Black winners of the Academy Awards.
That's a real problem that needs to be solved.
Now that it's gotten attention, many of the detractors are working overtime to discredit #OscarsSoWhite and #BlackLivesMatter.
Dash lit up a shit storm from many in the Black community.
The civil war within the Cash Money camp seems to be over.
Lil' Wayne and Birdman patched things up for the time being. The two were on some bitter shit for almost a year now. They were trading insults online, in the studio and inside the courtroom.
Weezy claims that Cash Money stalled Tha Carter V from being released and he threatened to sue for royalties and a full release off the Cash Money/Young Money label. Mind you the Young Money label is Lil' Wayne's label but its a subsidiary of Cash Money and its under contract as well.
There's reports that Mack Maine arranged a meeting with Bryan "Birdman" and Ronald "Slim" Williams.
MTV News report that the two were spotted at a Cash Money reunion event. Back on New Year’s Eve, the pair reunited for a photo with the entire Cash Money squad hanging at a Drake show, which prompted some speculation that the troubles in their relationship — which includes lawsuits, thrown drinks and a tour bus shooting — had been settled.
This week, its confirmed that Birdman and Weezy stood on stage together, right next to each other, as Birdman explained the current state of their relationship.
"This is my motherf–king son," Birdman says in a video taken Sunday night, pointing to Weezy. "I'd die for him, I'ma live for him and I'll motherf–king kill for him. You heard me? That ain't gonna never change…it's YMCMB for life."
On Drake's social media page, the Champagne Papi posted a simple confirmation of the feud settling down.
A photo posted by Mack Maine (@mackmaine4president) on
According to TMZ, Young Money president Mack Maine arranged for a phone call between Wayne and Birdman just hours before they met up at Drake’s New Year’s Eve party in Miami. They reportedly discussed their issues including the millions Birdman allegedly owes Wayne.
The two have “strong feelings” about squashing their beef. However, Wayne is not willing to dismiss his $51 million lawsuit against Cash Money Records unless they reach an agreement.
Mack Maine is being credited for initiating the idea of a settlement and brought Weezy and Baby together at Drake’s NYE party.
Meek Mill feud spreads past Drake and Future. He aims at the Unit's 50 Cent.
Meek Mill released a surprise EP in anticipation of his mixtape Dreamchasers 4. The mixtape has unleashed several subliminals aimed at Drake and Future. Seven months after the Great Feud of 2015, Meek Mill decided to go back into the studio and record a handful of tracks aimed at the Canadian entertainer and those associated around him.
Meek also took aim at another entertainer, one who is a media mogul whose recently struggled with his money.
Curtis got a broadside by Meek.
And Curtis decided to go hard on him. The Unit's leader has made it clear he's no fan of Rick Ross. I am guessing that Meek decided to come to defense of the rapper after 50 continued to taunt him on Rozay's legal situations.
And down below is 50 Cent's official social media page. He mocks Meek. He photoshopped Meek's face to a poop emoji.
50 Cent called Meek a "shithead" and said that his career was over. He went to social media saying that Meek better get his girlfriend Nicki Minaj pregnant and ask for child support.
When Meek released the 4 for 4 Mixtape, he released "Gave 'Em Hope" in which some of the lyrics targeted 50 as a rat. He also went through 50's feud with former ally Floyd Mayweather.

I see that it was clearly aimed at 50 Cent. Meek who is currently facing a bid in the iron college once again violates his probation by doing something that the judge told him not to do.
By posting on social media, he may have violated his term of conditions. But who knows what could happen! He knows he's fucked anyway.
What makes the feud so crazy, 50 Cent wasn't letting Meek off the hook. He went on to post a handful of direct shots at Meek. Matter of fact, there were nine mentions of Meek in a video.
The first one was funny. The second one was hilarious and I'll leave it up to you to view the rest on his official Instagram page.
President Barack Obama address gun violence with hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar.
The 11 time Grammy nominated rapper/singer Kendrick Lamar got an opportunity to meet President Barack Obama this weekend.
The Compton rapper has been very focused on politics and hasn't endorsed any political candidate for president. He heads to the White House to discuss issues involving gun violence, Black empowerment and the president's favorite song off his platinum selling album.
If these walls could talk...!
"I look at where I'm at today and realize that most of my success is owed to the mentors that was in my life," Lamar says at the opening, playing basketball with a young kid.
Kendrick Lamar and Terry Crews "Hit The Quan" in the "These Walls" video.
"I sat down with President Barack Obama and we shared the same views. Topics concerning the inner cities, the problems, the solutions, and furthermore embracing the youth, both being aware that mentoring saves lives."
To Pimp a Butterfly album is a smash. The rapper released the album in February 2015, and it spawned the hits, "i (Love Myself)", "Alright", and "These Walls".
The president admits that he's a fan of hip-hop and he enjoyed the album. His favorite song off the album was "How Much a Dollar Cost".
Last year, Geraldo Rivera went on this rant about Kendrick Lamar being anti-White and anti-cop with his song.
"This is why I say that hip-hop has done more damage to young African-Americans than racism in recent years. This is exactly the wrong message. And then to conflate what happened in the church in Charleston, South Carolina with the tragic incidents involving excessive use of force by cops is to equate that racist killer with these cops. It's so wrong. It’s so counterproductive. It gives exactly the wrong message." said the agitator.
The rapper responded back to the criticism.
"How can you take a song that's about hope and turn it into hatred?" he said. "The message, the overall message [of 'Alright'], is, 'We gon' be alright.' It's not a message of 'I want to kill people.'"
World News Today congratulates Kendrick Lamar on his success.
Survival of the fittest.... Chicago rapper King Louie survived a shot to his dome.
Chicago rapper Louis King Johnson, Jr. professionally known as King Louie got bucked in his hometown. He was shot seven times. One of them slugs went directly into the side of head.
That shooting happened in the Ashburn neighborhood of Chicago. The rapper was in his ride when out of nowhere some assailant ambushed him. The assailant let the slugs fly.
The rapper had a hospital stay after this. He survived a shot to the head.
Counting his blessing, he said that the violence here gotta stop. He knows he's "marked" for life, but he doesn't want to see others meet fates like this.
