Rapper iLoveMakonnen comes out the closet. Mainstream rapper/singer announced he's gay on social media.
Atlanta rapper/singer iLoveMakonnen comes out as gay. The rapper joins a growing list of entertainers in the hip-hop industry making waves in the LGBT community. And on top of that, he's getting mad props for doing so.
The rapper took a moment away from music to focus on acting. But it didn't leave him off the social media to announce to his fans that he's now happy in his skin.
And since y'all love breaking news, here's some old news to break, I'm gay. And now I've told u about my life, maybe u can go life yours❤
Joe Budden is a part of the Slaughterhouse rap group.
ILoveMakonnen was briefly signed to Drake's OVO Sound. He had the smash hit Tuesday and it had a feature from Drizzy himself. He also had released an EP with features from Gucci Mane, Wiz Khalifa and production from Metro Boomin', Sonny Digital , Southside Sizzle, TM88 and Dun Deal.
Rappers who are mainstream who are bisexual or gay.
Nicki Minaj
DJ Mister Cee
Frank Ocean
Queen Latifah
Azealia Banks
Young M.A.
Keith Murray
Fergie
Queen Penn
Let's pay tribute to iLoveMakonnen by playing his hit single "Tuesday" with Drake.
I didn't watch the Dick Clark's Rockin New Year's on ABC. I enjoy the antics of Ryan Seacrest, Jenny McCarthy and Fergie. But sometimes, I just get tired of watching celebrities and couples making out at the stroke of midnight. I get tired of staying up to celebrate another year of being single, having lack of trust towards people and the disgust of the fuhrer coming to power in less than 18 days.
And I happened to miss the entertainment scandal of 2017.
Mariah Carey had another "break-break down."
The junk food media criticized her performance at the Rockin New Years as terrible.
Accusations of lip-syncing surround her and she claimed that ABC and Dick Clark Productions sabotaged her.
Dick Clark Productions slammed the accusation as absurd.
The New York Times report that the performance was a trainwreck. Malfunctions left her at a loss vocally during her hit song, "Emotions," struggling to reach notes and to sync the lyrics and music.
The trouble continued when she gave up on another her best known numbers, "We Belong Together," while a recording of the song continued to play, a confirmation that she had been lip-syncing.
This comes as no surprise that in July 2001, Carey had a nervous breakdown and was nearly suicidal.
Drizzy is sticking it to Diddy. It seems like Jenny from the Block caught a buzz from the 6 God.
The 47 year old actress/singer/model/media mogul got the net buzzing with a candid shot of her and the 6 God.
Jennifer Lopez who recently broke up with her longtime boyfriend Casper Smart was spotted with Drake making out.
Drake is 30 years old. He has dated notable celebrities. His list includes the likes of Rihanna, Serena Williams, Tyra Banks, Taylor Swift and Tika Sumpter. And to have J-Lo on the list means that he's truly a god when it comes to women.
The two are admitting that they're together but "they aren't serious just yet."
Lopez was previously married to Latin pop singer Marc Anthony and has two children with him.
World famous grill and jewelry titian Paul Wall was busted in a early morning "No Knock". Paul Wall is a hip-hop artist hailing from the city of Houston.
Grill man and rapper Paul Wall and nine others were busted in Houston today. The feds bust into his home and Grill, Tattoo and Jewelry looking for the weed, the hard and the boy.
Street slang:
Grill - Jewelry encrusted inside a mouth guard. Weed - most commonly known as marijuana. Hard - most commonly known as crack/cocaine. It's also known as medicine, girl, rock, snow, and blow. Boy - most commonly known as heroin. It's also known smack, tar, well and small. No knock - a controversial law enforcement tactic known as the "no knock warrant." The judge issues a late warrant for search and seizure of a individual or property. They use the county boys, the Marshals and the FBI to do early morning raids. The "no knock" means they can bust your door down and grab you out of bed. Usually it happens when the law fears the subject is armed or hiding incriminating information in a concealed area.
Paul Wall along with fellow rapper Baby Bash got hit up by the "no knock".
Paul Wall (born Paul Slayton) was charged with manufacturing/delivery on a controlled substance between 4-400 grams. That could put him in the federal time out for ten years.
Baby Bash was famous for the hit singles "Cyclone" and "Suga Suga".
Baby Bash (born Ronald Bryant) was also handed the same charges. Both were released on bond and have court date in late December.
The two are innocent until proven guilty.
TMZ reports that the rappers were among 10 people arrested when officers executed a search warrant on a Harris County location early Friday morning. The officers can confirm that THC was found.
So they were shipping weed under the table.
That means someone snitched on them. Because the feds don't come to your door at 6am for a friendly visit.
Paul Wall was spotted in metro Houston this week doing charity events for local children before he got caught up.
Throwback of the night. It's a song from then Motown act Horace Brown.
The song "One for the Money". His hit from the mid-90s.
When you're down, get yourself up! Don't let this controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/reality television star winning the election bring you down. Let your anger turn into activism. I mean let it be known that you're American and you want your country back!
You don't tolerate racism, bigotry and hate.
Now Republicans will experience the wrath of progressives and Democrats who are fucking tired of obstruction towards President Barack Obama.
I warn the Democrats. Don't go soft on the incoming president. Treat him and his family like they've did the Obamas.
Find out where Republicans are holding town halls. Make sure you get your facts together and then shout them down like the Tea Party did to the Democrats.
Make your voice great again. Get out there and protest the Republicans and their standard-bearer.
"One for the Money. Two for the show. Three to get ready! Here we go!"
Here's one of my favorite songs from The Gap Band.
It's the single "Party Train".
Don't be discourage about the Donald Trump victory. Celebrate that now it's Republicans who will face the wrath of progressives seething with vengeance.
I feel the need to give you some honest listening while we are dealing with the disaster that's coming to Washington, DC in January. I will do my best to give you my honest take on the issues in my community, my country and of course the corrupt Donald Trump ass kissing junk food media.
I want to be the fierce opposition to the reality television star who is slated to become the 45th President of the United States.
I want to make sure that we're spreading the honest discussion about how to take back Congress and the 2020 presidency. Right now I have no suitable candidate from the Democratic Party capable of stopping Trump.
It's gonna be a tough 4 or 8 years of dealing with the oldest living president. He represents the party of White people and old farts.
Dwayne Carter is now looking for the New York Times bestsellers list. The rap mogul still feuding with Cash Money Records over the delay of Tha Carter V. He is pretty much in limbo on any projects and he's pretty much exhausted of the rap game.
The rapper formerly known as Lil' Wayne wrote a book chronicling his time in iron college.
Gone Til' November: A Journal of Ricker's Island is a prison memoir. It earned respect.
When he done an interview with the junk food media, he raised eyebrows with his comments about the Black Lives Matter movement.
Lil' Wayne's book is out and it's a good read.
I will let you judge it for yourself.
It's getting major attention on social media. It's been overshadowed by the reality television star and bombastic billionaire becoming the 45th President of the United States.
Conservative outrage over the Obamas invited rappers to the White House. Rick Ross came to the White House this year and conservatives are screaming that his lyrics promotes date rape. They are trying to scapegoat Rozay for Donald Trump's offensive remarks about women.
The conservatives continue to blame the entertainment industry for Donald Trump's offensive remarks caught on tape.
Conservatives are now once again targeting hip-hop music for its lyrics. They call the Obamas, a bunch of hypocrites.
Why?
Because they let pop singer Beyonce and rappers like Jay-Z, Macklemore, Common, Busta Rhymes, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross to the White House.
They claim that rappers say far worse than Donald Trump.
Here's a newsflash for the hang wringers!
Trump is running for president, not Snoop Dogg or Jay-Z.
The conservative outrage reflects on Rick Ross. Back in 2013, Rick Ross rapped on Rocko's UNENO. His lyrics, "Put that molly in her champagne, she ain't know it. I took her back and enjoyed that, she ain't know it." was controversial. It was advocating date rape.
First Lady Michelle Obama invited Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel to the White House. Lin-Manuel is a rapper/Broadway actor/producer and in demand entertainer.
Ross was scrutinized by the junk food media for this. He lost deal with Reebok and Pepsi after this lyrics came to light.
Conservatives are saying that junk food media ignored the Obamas inviting rappers to the White House. Rappers who sing about guns, bitches, money and drugs.
Did you know that the Obamas invited military, police officers, families of gun crimes, people who had medical issues, supercentenarians, the Bushes, the Reagans, country singers, athletes, poets, and offer tours to Americans!
So according to conservatives, rappers aren't entitled an invitation to the White House.
Conservatives believe that rappers should be in jail or in the morgue.
Rick Ross is just as American as Bill O'Reilly. He deserves a right to visit the White House.
Yeah, his lyrics are terrible. But that's why the Parental Advisory label is slapped on their albums.
You have to be at least 18 years old or older to purchase a parental advisory album.
Laura Ingraham mocked for an alleged Nazi hand salute.
And you have the right to change the radio channel, skip the song or boycott the entertainer if the lyrics go too far. Rappers know the risk of being too "extreme". Or do they?
Epic Records signed William Roberts III to the label in January. Roberts, who is known by the junk food media as Rick Ross, left Def Jam Records after 12 years on the label. Ross (known as Rozay/Yung Renzel) was signed to Slip-N-Slide for a portion of his time on Def Jam as well.
Now that he's fulfilled he obligations with the labels, he left them to join Epic.
Epic's hip-hop roster now has Sean "Puffy" Combs and his Bad Boy label, Future, Mariah Carey, Yo Gotti, and French Montana. It's headed by business mogul and singer L.A. Reid.
Rozay's label Maybach Music Group is affiliated with Def Jam, Atlantic and Epic Records.
Reid, along with Busta Rhymes, DJ Khaled, Nicki Minaj, Wale and J. Cole joined Rozay at the White House this year for the My Brother's Keeper project.
The biggest voice on the right mad that First Lady Michelle Obama slammed Trump and him.
Conservatives misinformed their supporters about President Barack Obama constantly. They claim Obama doesn't pay attention to issues in the Black community. This often comes up whenever #BlackLivesMatter address another fatal shooting of an unarmed Black person.
My Brother's Keeper is an initiative to help every boy and young man of color who is willing to do the hard work to get ahead. It's well documented, but often ignored by the junk food media.
The president addresses these issues but it doesn't get "shock value". It's actually a conservative idea said by a somewhat liberal president.
Reid motivated Rozay to get his act together.
Now he rocking an ankle bracelet for assault and kidnapping. It was said that he was embarrassed by the ankle bracelet going off at the White House.
There's a viral video online of a mom being pissed off at Def Jam's Vince Staples. The Long Beach rapper got Krystle Partido's attention. The mom from Oklahoma was ranting for 11 minutes about the rapper's song. She heard the song on a local radio station and she got emotional about this song.
"Norf Norf" just got more attention. I haven't heard the song but I will give it some attention.
Staples's Summertime '06 was released as a double album. It was released in June 2015 and it was critically acclaimed.
"I cannot believe this stuff is on the radio." She called the rapper's song "crap". Then she starts tearing up about it.
She reads the lyrics and said the N-word.
The online community went after her. She got death threats and criticism for attacking an entertainer.
However, one vital person in the mother’s corner is Staples himself. He’s saying that people online should respect an opinion that’s different from their own.
"I don't really have much to say about the video — I don't think it's funny at all," Staples told The Independent on Wednesday. "It's not right to attack someone over their stance, their opinions, and their religion. I think that's very immature."
Rapper appreciates the concern. He didn't condemn Oklahoma mom. He actually praised her.
In the mother's recording, she describes the 2015 track as "crap" and says that the lyrics infuriated her. "I remember listening to the top hits as a kid," she says. "You know Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Backstreet Boys, and N'SYNC. Those were the top hits when I was a kid. Nowadays it's not the same, not the same at all."
She admitted that the curse words were removed from the track but encouraged fellow parents to pay attention to music their children are listening to.
"I'm raising four little girls and that just breaks my heart," she says while sobbing. "I tell you right now, music has a strong influence on our children. I normally never listen to that radio station, it's almost like I was meant to hear to let you guys know about it."
To be clear, "Norf Norf" depicts the harsh reality of growing up on the north side of Long Beach, where folks have nothing productive to do but gangbang—a problem Staples has tried to remedy by investing in youth programs in the area.
Oklahoma mom cries over Vince Staples song.
Still, Staples believes that the negative reaction to the mother's video underscores a deeper problem in the states.
"We already have a lot of issues between black and white relations in this country based on misunderstandings," Staples continued. "In my eyes, she doesn't look like a racist. She doesn't look like a mean person. It's not very responsible for people to try to take that and jump, looking for some sort of commentary on these issues."
"It's just not right that’s she’s being attacked—it’s not okay."
Partido was surprised when the rapper gave her praise. She was thankful that the rapper appreciated her stance and hope they could one day meet and talk about it.
Staples has often talked about his life in Long Beach and the violence he grew up in. He works at community centers when he's not rapping.
It's about to get wavy in here! The former DipSet/Byrd Gang capo Max B might be able to cop a plea.
The hip-hop community is hungry for Max B. He's about to be released from the iron college after a 2009 conviction. He was sent up the creek for conspiracy and murder charges. He copped a pleas and he will be released from the iron college in a few years. He was about to get 3 quarters in the bars.
Escaping a 75 year bid is wavy!
Max B thanks his supporters and of course French Montana.
French Montana is an artist signed to Bad Boy and Maybach Music Group. He's the founder of Coke Boys Music. Montana promises to sign Max B to the label once he comes out.
"I would like to take the time to humbly express my gratitude to the Bergen County Courts. The Honorable James J. Guida, and Mr. Grewal of the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office for looking into my Post-Conviction Relief. This proceeding was not a question of my guilt or innocence, but about the bad advice, poor judgement, and overall ineffectiveness of my trial attorney. I would also like to thank my legal team at The Law Offices of Bruno & Ferraro; my wonderful attorneys John Bruno, John Bruno, Jr., John Lotorocca and Linda Peterson did an outstanding on my case and fighting for me.
I wanna thank The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee. I wanna give a special thanks to my friend and partner Frank Babar and Phase One Network, William Cosgrove, Corey Whitaker and The Playbook Agency. Without the support of Phase One team, I wouldn't have made it this far. I want to thank my boy Masar, Alpac, and my brother from another mother, French Montana, aka Mac with The Cheese.---I love you bro! Wave Gods till we die!!!! To all my fans that been holding it down for me all these years, still banging my music and still keeping it wavy. I love you all and Stay Wavy. Last, but certainly not least, my lovely and wonderful mother Mamveli, I love you!"
Max B.
The Harlem rapper known as Charly Wingate could be out of the iron college in 2025.
He had collaborated with Cam'Ron and Jim Jones, the founders of the Diplomats (Dip-Set). He also is known as the father of the "Wavy".
Max B made news earlier when Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa reignited their feud over the West's album Waves.
"Please don't take the Wave," said Wiz Khalifa on social media. He believes Max B deserves the right to be crowned the King of the Wave. Yeezy changed the album to The Life of Pablo.
The world is waiting on Max B, the king of the wave.
Lil' Wayne pissed that Birdman let the Tyga loose.
Lil' Wayne is mentally deflated with the music business. He is losing his label and his acts. He was pissed that Tyga was let go from his contract with Young Money/Cash Money without Weezy's approval.
His old mentor has majority control of Rich Gang Music and Weezy's Young Money Entertainment and the move was unprecedented.
Bryan "Baby" Williams, known professionally as Birdman owns the labels as well as Cash Money Records. Cash Money Records was founded by Birdman and his brother Ronald "Slim" Williams.
The two started the label in New Orleans and they signed their distribution deal with Universal Republic Records.
Tyga is a washed up rapper who gained fame following Weezy, Drizzy and Nicki. He had some modest hits on the radio, but unfortunately he had a string of bad luck. That deal with Cash Money didn't help him score Grammy albums. And his record deal that wasn't living up to its expectations.
In October 2014, Tyga was first to express frustration with label. He was upset over the label not releasing his album. He was angry and vented off at Birdman. He also engaged in a public feud with Drake.
Drake let him have it. He knocked the rapper for his sexual deviancy and his controversial relationship with Kylie Jenner.
Tyga's last album Last King: The Gold Album 18th Dynasty was pushed independently with Kanye West co-executive producing the album. The album didn't fare well and it was shipped to the burner.
Tyga begins his new journey from the back.
Tyga who is struggling to pay his bills had got a break. His girlfriend Kylie Jenner asked her brother-in-law Kanye West to give him a leg up.
Tyga officially signed to G.O.O.D. Music and performed with Desiigner, the rapper who sounds eerily similar to Future.
TMZ reports that Lil' Wayne is furious that Birdman let the Tyga go.
Sources close to Wayne tell TMZ, that the rapper is fuming after Tyga was cut loose, opening the door for him to sign a new deal with Kanye. Problem is....he was on Young Money and Weezy had a 49% stake in his company.
The Kardashian/Jenner clan isn't pleased with Tyga's relationship with Kylie. The rapper is blowing money fast and they believe he's embarrassing to Kylie and the family.
Birdman rather make money than waste his time on a failed act.
Tyga's been warned by Kanye West to cut the games. He wants him to destroy his black book, take care of his son and get the financial situation in order.
Wayne believes Birdman's extravagant living has been a burden to the label. Lil' Wayne sued Birdman for $51 million in royalties and his release from Cash Money and Young Money.
Washed up rapper Tyga signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music.
The washed up rapper is apparently signed a deal with Kanye West.
The hip-hop blogs report that Tyga and The Migos are the newest signees to G.O.O.D. Music. But is Tyga still under contract with his old label?
Last year we wrote the rapper off when he started this ridiculous feud with Drake. He was then a signed artist on Lil' Wayne's Young Money and Bryan "Birdman" Williams's Cash Money Records. In 2014, the rapper blasted the label after Birdman scrapped the album Last Kings The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty. The rapper released the album independently on his newly founded Last Kings Entertainment. He asked Kanye West to help him promote the album. Kanye agreed and slapped his executive production to the album (although he didn't contribute to it).
The album was a complete failure. It basically ended Tyga's career. The fallout with Cash Money grew into an all out civil war when Lil' Wayne expressed frustrations with the label delaying his follow up albums.
The rapper has an ongoing relationship with Kylie Jenner, the half sister of celebrity agitator Kim Kardashian West. His ex-girlfriend Blac Chyna who is the mother of his son Cairo is dating Rob Kardashian and is pregnant with their child.
Atlanta group The Migos signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music.
Now Tyga's alleged signing to G.O.O.D. could be a good thing. I mean Tyga has been struggling to pay his bills. He is not an in-demand rapper. His mixtapes and albums were not good.
He was nearly evicted from his home, had his Lamborghini repoed in front of Kylie.
The family has warned Tyga not to take advantage of the 19-year old celebrity agitator.
Kris and Caitlyn Jenner express concerns that Tyga was cheating on Kylie with numerous women and asked Kylie to get a HIV-test. One of the women who warned Kylie was Mia Isabella. She came forth after finding out that she had an affair with Tyga and actor Charlie Sheen. She was a former transgender porn actress.
The Migos were signed to 300 Music and their own label Quality Control Music. They signed a management deal with G.O.O.D. Music. The group consist of Quavo, Offset and Takeoff. They released a handful of mixtapes and their first album Yung Rich Nation (N***as).
Now will they sign to Def Jam or stay landed on their respectful labels?
Another day in court for troubled pop singer Chris Brown.
Chris Brown is a troubled pop singer. He once again is seeing bars in his future. The LAPD paid him a visit after a woman reported him acting a fool at his home. He grabbed his side piece and pointed it at her head.
He will be charged with assault with a deadly weapon. This charge could land him in the iron college for up to 25 years in the state of California. He is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The call came in at 3am and it had a woman screaming for the law to come to the pop singer's residence. The allegations of the woman is that she saw something shiny and it was dedicate to Brown.
Brown, a notorious hot head got to threatening her and grabbed his glock and shoved it into her breast and head.
The law arrived at the residence. Brown decided to shut the lights off and head to bed. Of course, the law warned him that he better surrender or get dragged out by force.
Brown has been a lighting rod for trouble. His most notable arrest took place in 2009 for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna following a pre-Grammy party.
He pleaded guilty to felony assault and was sentenced that year to five years' in-house, a year-long domestic violence class and six months of community labor. He had issues complying with the terms of probation in that case, but completed that probation in Los Angeles County early last year.
Since then, he has also dealt with a fraud complaint against him in the Philippines last summer for allegedly canceling a New Year's Eve concert and was the subject of a potential battery investigation against a model in Las Vegas in January. She claimed that he hit her and took her cellphone, but police never pursued charges.
Me thinks the victim could be Karrueche Tan, Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend and mother of his daughter Royalty.
The daytime drama continues. Tamar Braxton is still angry over the cannon firing from The Real. As the show goes into another season, Braxton threw some not so nice shots at her former co-hosts.
Of course, The Real got real with Braxton.
Inquisitr is covering the ongoing feud between Tamar and The Real.
There a video that is surfacing online showing Tamar being a diva. And there were outtakes where she was acting a fool around the staff and co-hosts.
OK! Magazine says that Tamera Mowry-Housley is dissing her subliminally. She went to social media to throw shade at Tamar for her spiral. And people are starting to see the feud finally surface.
Tamar is currently involved in a domestic dispute with her husband Vince Herbert. Her husband of eight years have tensions on air and off. But somehow the law was called to their Atlanta home.
According to reports from Bossip, Tamar was looking real rough. The eyewitness who was not named in the report said that Tamar and Vince have allegedly "had multiple domestic abuse issues in the past" but admitted that "this time there's evidence" because of others seeing this event going down.
Tamera went to Instagram to show her love for husband, Fox News agitator Adam Housley.
The fans believe that picture alludes to Tamar Braxton's problems at home. Fans were calling out Tamera for being a "bitch". Tamera denies any coincidence between the social media and problems with Tamar.
Tamar Braxton has went to war with her co-hosts. She said that Adrienne Bailon and Tamera were being disingenuous to her. They attended Tamar's son's birthday party. She said that they were "trying to their asses".
Tamar blamed Tamera, Loni Love and Jeannie Mai for getting her fired from the show. The show producers said that Tamar was difficult to work with. They said that if she keeps up these attacks, they will leak the video of her acting out on set.
Tamar was disinvited from Adrienne Bailon's engagement party.
Tamar was dropped from Epic Records after her album tanked.
Tamar is hoping to get back into the daytime television business. She teamed up with Steve Harvey and is working on having her own show.
Drake clowned on rival Meek Mill in his own hometown. And of course, Meek Mill and his goon squad tried to run up on him. But they got shut down.
Drake brought out his mentor Lil' Wayne to perform at the Wells Fargo Arena. Drake had the fans singing with him and as he peformed his hits. He also had Philadelphia boo Meek Mill. That's embarrassing.
Drake dissed Meek Mill in his own hometown.
You may remember that Drake was being accused of having a ghostwriter by Meek Mill. The rapper was pissed that Drake didn't promote his album and he got on Twitter and used his fingers to slam him for being fake.
Drake went into the studio and let him have it. He hit him with "Charged Up" and "Back to Back".
Drake destroyed Meek Mill's credibility as a rapper.
"You're not from Philly, Nigga!" - Drake.
Meek Mill was clowned online.
This ongoing feud has gotten so much attention. Fans of Meek Mill were disappointed in his response. The song "Wanna Know" was panned for being weak.
Since that, Meek Mill is now being referred as "Nicki Minaj's boy toy".
It's also shocking that Meek is about to move into Nicki Minaj's luxury home. So now he's in his girl home too.
Drake is riding high on the success of Views. The album is three times platinum and possibly one of the best selling albums of the year. He is also confirming another album release. The album The 6'ers is a collaboration with Gucci Mane. The two will release their album in September.
One feud that was allegedly brewing was the one with Eminem. That rumor was quickly put to bed.
Drake had enough of the bullshit rumors. He singled out Hot 97 and specifically Ebro and DJ Funkmaster Flex for starting rumors about a possible feud with Slim Shady.
Ebro was making claims that Eminem was cooking up a single aimed at Drake. Funk Flex tried to push the Meek Mill feud by releasing "Wanna Know". The song was released and it was panned by the hip-hop community.
It all started from a feud between Shady Records artist Joe Budden of Slaughterhouse going after Drake for having a ghostwriter. Drake tapped him in 4pm and Calabasas and No Shopping with French Montana.
Drake said that he's "not a one hit wonder, the fans know all his stuff!" That was a dig at Joe Budden's one hit wonder "Pump it Up" off his self-titled album on his old label Def Jam.
The rapper performed at Joe Louis Arena yesterday and he decided to pay homage to the Detroit legend. Guess what Drizzy done? He brought Em out to help him perform.
He said that's one of the greatest before he bowed to him. It confirms that the two aren't beefing.
Later Eminem released on his official Instagram a picture with Drake.
In other news, 50 Cent is releasing his long awaited album Street King Immortal this week. The album was supposed to be released on Shady Records and Aftermath Entertainment. It was shelved after 50 got into a heated feud with Interscope boss Jimmy Iovine.
Iovine had to fire 50 out the cannon after he threatened to leak songs without authorization.
Marion "Big Suge" Knight is facing a murder charge for running over two men at a burger joint near the filming location of the Straight Outta Compton movie. Knight who was former CEO of Death Row Records is a notorious individual. He has ties to the domestic terrorist group The Bloods. He dons the red like it's nothing. He was instrumental in helping Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac Shakur obtain multiplatinum albums.
But Big Suge stuck to the g-code and now that code will place his ass in the lockup for the rest of his LIFE.
The LAPD was hoping that Big Suge would slip up. They didn't expect this quickly.
TMZ obtained the gruesome video of Big Suge's Red F150 running over two men.
A jailhouse songbird slammed the LAPD and county prosecutor. He tells the junk food media that he was deliberately placed near
Daniel Timms who was songbird said that prosecutors were coaching him to get Big Suge to show no remorse or say things that could land a conviction.
Now this could be used as defense in the murder trial.
Knowing that Suge has nothing to lose, it's best for him to use this an advantage.
This was one of the many incidents that plagued the controversial media mogul. He and Katt Williams still have to deal with the assault charge for breaking a fan's camera.
Ludacris and Ciara announced the nominees for the Billboard Music Awards. What A Time To Be Alive was Drake and that other guy Ciara's feuding with album.
Ciara Harris and Nayvadius DeMun Wilborn (aka Future) are at tonight's Billboard Music Awards.
The FutureHIVE hasn't calm down. Future enjoyed another number one album. His surprise album EVOL is platinum and he's on tour with Drake for the "Summer Sixteen". The rapper is also addressing a feud with a rapper named Desiigner.
Desiigner, who I've dubbed Fake Future has a hit called Panda and it's confusing some folks. Some people are saying that's Future.
Future isn't happy about this. He aimed some barbs at the New York rapper who recently signed to Kanye West's GOOD Music label. He believes that this rapper is biting his trademark flow.
Now that's just a minor issue compared to his feud with the ex. The Ciara and Future fallout is blowing up the webs. The feud between the rapper and pop singer has been one of the most talked about issues in the hip-hop community.
Ciara was once engaged to Future. They dated for a few years. She has a son with the rapper. He is the father of four other children. I also disclose that one of my closest cousins had a child with the rapper when he still an underground act. Future and Ciara were the hip-hop couple.
I guess Ciara ignored the cries of the ex-girls and baby mamas. They warned her that Future hasn't cut up his player's card. That card was being maxed out.
Ciara and Future would soon have a nasty fallout. Their son, Future (Nayvadius Zahir Wilburn, Jr.) is the middle of a bitter custody battle.
Ciara was hoping to secure full-time custody of their boy. Future fought that one in children's court.
He ended up getting joint custody of their son. Future and Ciara are in court fighting each other over defamation of character. Future is also urging the judge to lower the child support. He saying that Ciara's fiance Russell Wilson has enough money to take care of them.
My son gives me the power.
Ciara is hosting the Billboard Music Awards with Ludacris this year.
When the rapper's name was announced, Ciara threw shade on it and Luda had to cover for her. Being a nominee for top rap act, Future is competing against Drake, Silento, Wiz Khalifa and Fetty Wap.
Ludacris had collaborated with both acts in the past. This is his second go around at the Billboard Awards.
You can watch it on ABC right now! I don't watch award shows. They bore me and I don't give two about the celebrities spending a few hours showing themselves off.
Note if you want to hear music or videos from Drake, Wiz Khalifa, Young Thug, Future, Dr. Dre and Eminem, you will have to enroll in Apple Music.
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.
