Matter of fact, we are label mates, now, which is crazy. So, yeah, that’ll be cool. I’m looking forward to that.”

Alley Boy Denies Beef with T.I. and Jeezy


(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rapper Alley Boy of Duct Tape Entertainment denied any beef with fellow Atlanta rappers Young Jeezy and T.I. at a listening session for his most recent project “Nigganati.”

Late last week, Alley Boy set the internet on fire with his song “I Want In.”

Many Hip-Hop fans thought Alley Boy was taking shots on the track, which showcases Alley letting Jeezy and T.I. know that he “wants in” on all the hit making thats going on between Jeezy and T.I..

“All that street sh*t? It’s over, game over/I’m the new king of the streets, no motivation, game over,” he spits. “F**k that snow sh*t/This hot sh*t/ In the A-town/This my sh*t,” Alley Boy says.

While the previous two lines suggest Alley Boy is not happy with Jeezy and T.I., Alley Boy told AllHipHop.com that there was no beef or rift between him and his famous counterparts.

“I did the ‘We Want In’ record,’ a lot of folks say its a shot at a ni**a man, but I don’t take shots man, when I take shots at a ni**a they gon’ be bleedin,’” Alley Boy told AllHipHop.com. “But at the end of the day, I say respect the way I feel about sh*t. I feel like f**k a ni**a, it’s my city, know what I’m saying?”

Many listeners questioned the beef, since Alley Boy was a guest feature on Young Jeezy’s ‘The Real is Back’ mixtape hosted by DJ Drama.

But Alley Boy didn’t mince his words and was clear that if the shoe fit, either rapper could wear it.

“Ain’t no bullsh*t in it, once I peep a ni**a character and I feel the ni**a aint real, I just go in on a ni**a, I dont give a f**k, its whatever, ni**as know what it is around the A,” Alley Boy explained to AllHipHop.com in an exclusive interview during a listening session for “Nigganatti.”



Alley Boy made it clear that some of the more established acts refuse to work with artists like himself, who are garnering a street based following.

“You know man, it wasn’t no disrespect to none of the independent ni**as, you know what I’m saying, when I say what I say, its just for these bitch ass ni**as that be coming out here that don’t f**k with no street ni**as, they don’t f**k with no real ni**as, that was just my thing like, ni**a you needa f**k with a real nigga, or it is what it is, you get caught with the wrong person, you might get caught with the green light on you, so that was just me saying that,” Alley Boy concluded.

Young Jeezy and T.I. were not available for comment at press time.

50 Cent call off 1 million dollar bet...


Upon further review, rapper 50 Cent decided that betting a picture of his penis wasn't the best idea. On Thursday (Jan. 26) he pulled the plug on that plan.

It was presumably during a moment of irrational exuberance following the NY Giants NFC Championship win that 50 Cent promised his Twitter followers that if the Giants lost the Super Bowl, he would post a picture of his little rapper online. But it looks like common sense got the better of him.

"I Change (sic) my mind I'm not betting on the super bowl," he writes on Twitter. "I'm gonna promote street king and focus on making a difference 4 the less fortunate."

Street King is the rapper's energy drink. And considering 50 Cent's track record with beverages (he reportedly made $100 million when Vitamin Water was sold to Coca-Cola), that's probably a pretty good idea

Nicki Minaj Confirmed to Perform at 2012 Grammy Awards


Nicki Minaj continues making strides in her career.

The Harajuku Barbie has officially been tapped to perform during the 54th annual Grammy Awards, reports Aceshowbiz.com. This will be the first time Nicki hits the stage at the prestigious show which will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 12.

“Happy to welcome @nickiminaj as a first-time performer on our GRAMMY Awards stage on Feb. 12! #GRAMMYs,” read the tweet which was posted on the event’s official Twitter.

In addition, Minaj also receives at least three nominations this year, including Best New Artist along with Roc Nation artist J. Cole, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Album.

And as if that weren’t enough, the “Superbass” femcee is featured on the “2012 Grammy Nominees Album” which will come out in the United States on January 24. A portion of the album proceeds will benefit the MusiCares Foundation and the GRAMMY Foundation, two charities established by The Recording Academy. —Gina Montana

Nick Cannon & Mariah Carey Have Stronger Bond


Sometimes a drama, medical or otherwise, brings a couple closer together. Such is the case for Nick Cannon and wife Mariah Carey after he suffered mild kidney failure. Cannon is back at home with his wife and dem babies, but he has to make a few changes to improve his health! His dad Jason revealed that Cannon and Carey are now tighter than ever in the wake of the medical maladies. ‘Til death do us part for Nick and Mariah, that’s for sure.

Cannon Sr. told UsWeekly that “Nick and Mariah have a very strong bond. If anything, this unexpected illness has made them closer than ever and appreciate one another even more. She would stay in the hospital overnight to support him. So they managed to cope even though Nick was pretty sick. But he is glad to be home now and his whole family is pleased about that also.”

He also said that his son was able to navigate his scary illness by keeping a positive attitude, something Carey also spoke about during the ordeal. Mr. Cannon revealed, “He took his mind off things by joking with the nurses and doctors and things like that.” Somehow that doesn’t surprise us, since Cannon is so gregarious.

So now that Cannon is recovery and out of the hospital, he has to rethink his diet and chill on the sugary beverages, which also add excess calories, and cut back on the processed foods.

Jason Cannon said, “The doctors have ordered him to rest and make some adjustments to his diet too. It has been an educational process for him, and he is determined to make those changes and stay away from soft drinks and too many sugar-based foods now.”

Hopefully we’ll see a healthier, soft drink-free Nick Cannon in 2012. He is expected to return ‘Rollin’ With Nick Cannon,’ his AM radio show, on Jan. 17.

Nicki Minaj to Get Her Own Fashion Line?


Nicki Minaj has conquered the beauty realm with a lipstick and a nail polish collection, and now it appears she's moving full-speed into what else? Fashion.

In Sunday's The New York Times, the R&B artist's manager Cortez Bryant revealed some of the latest plans to help his client stay on everyone's radar, the next step being what comes natural to the star -- style.

PHOTOS: Nicki Minaj's craziest hairstyles

"A priority of his, Mr. Bryant said in a phone interview, is to negotiate a deal with a fashion house so Ms. Minaj can sell her own line of clothes," The New York Times wrote.

In 2010, Minaj, 29, and MAC Cosmetics released a limited-edition baby pink lipstick shade in conjunction with her debut album, Pink Friday. And later this month, the star's six shade nail lacquer collection with OPI will hit shelves and anxiously awaiting fingernails.

PHOTOS: Hot manicure ideas from celebs

But if the "Super Bass" singer does end up landing a fashion deal and creating her own line, will it be wearable enough for the everyday gal to rock?

VIDEO: Nicki Minaj performs "Super Bass" with 8-year-old fan

Turns out, there is a chance. In November 2011, the outrageously dressed star revealed to Cosmopolitan that behind the technicolor getups, there's some very laid-back wardrobe choices.

"Give me my sweats!" she exclaimed to the mag, when explaining what goes into dressing up. "I like transforming from completely raggedy to 'Ahhh, I'm ready.' That transformation gives me a high."

Tell Us: Do you think Nicki Minaj will be able to design wearable clothes, or do you think the designs will be too outrageous?

Brandy & Monica Working Together?


Monday Jan 9, 2012 – by Britni Danielle

It’s been been nearly fifteen years since Brandy and Monica teamed up for “The Boy Is Mine,” their catchy duet that played off the supposed rivalry between the young divas. Now, as the two are back in the studio working on their own albums, they may also be cooking up another duet for their fans.

Apparently, both Brandy and Monica are down in Mimi getting some sun and working with superstar producer Rico Love. And over the weekend, Monica and Rico Love both tweeted that something big was in the works.

Monica wrote: “We have Both Been Blessed Beyond Measure..14years later.. #TURNTHELIGHTSON ❤Love @4everBrandy”

Love also tweeted, “Today is an epic day for music…Stay Tuned” He continued, ”My dreams come true on a daily basis… God is the greatest!! @monicabrown @4everbrandy”

So…does this mean that Brandy and Monica are working on another collaboration? I sure hope so!

Common Drops New Diss Record Directed Towards Drake


(AllHipHop News) Despite the fact that the Rick Ross’ Rich Forever was undoubtably the most downloaded mixtape last week, many hip-hop fans have paid closer attention to the Drake verse that was seemingly directed at Chicago rapper Common on the French Montana assisted, “Stay Schemin’” track.

Although Drake didn’t say Common’s name, Common has already replied with a diss record over the same beat and has specifically called out Drake for his use of singing during his raps and the sensitive nature of some of his songs.

“My motto is Chicago b**ch, everybody know you’re sweet, what the problem is? / Don’t play dumb, I’m the one that acknowledged it, son of a b**ch I imagine what you father is/She said how you make your oppponent?/The rapper of the moment, the style he don’t own it…

And later Common raps:

Can’t say a ni**a name but you rap about a ni**as wife, you sho’ black and white tryna live a ni**a’s life/I’m taking too long with this amateur guy, you aint wet nobody ni**a, you Canada Dry. “

While the nature of the beef is unclear, some speculate that it could be centered around professional tennis star Serena Williams, who is rumored to have been involved with both artists.

“Soft ni**a, make no mistake, I’m taking to Drake,” Common concluded.

To make matters worse for Drake, Common concluded the song with Destiny Child’s song, “Say My Name” repeating in the background of the track.

Drake has not yet replied on Twitter or in any interviews as of press time.

Man Stabbed For Not Knowing Beyonce And Jay-Z Are Married

Get More: Music News


By Zachary Swickey

We often read crazy stories in the news that seem too wildly outrageous to be true, but when there’s a police report to back-up the insanity it’s hard to argue. Case in point: Ronald Deaver, a 31-year-old man who shanked a dude for not knowing the marital status of Jay-Z and Beyonce. (Now, that s**t cray!).

Fox News reports that one hour before we rung in 2012, Deaver allegedly stabbed a 48-year-old man outside his apartment in Parma, Ohio, and has been charged with felonious assault for the incident. Det. Marty Compton says the fight began “because the victim did not know that singer Beyonce’s husband is rapper Jay-Z.” The officer says authorities were called following the stabbing and the victim was rushed to a local hospital before being transferred to MetroHealth Medical Center, where he is currently in good condition.

Police tracked Deaver to his apartment, however, he was nowhere to be found when they arrived and a woman at the residence said he was no longer living there. Police caught up with the culprit a short time later and the woman was arrested on obstructing justice (filling in the blanks – she was likely hiding him).

Me gasping at my roommate’s lack of knowledge of Katy Perry’s divorce from Russell Brand seems pretty insignificant at this point.

Wiz Khalifa Accused Of Stealing “Black & Yellow” In $2 Million Dollar Lawsuit


Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Hip-Hop star Wiz Khalifa is being sued by a Pennsylvania man, who claims the rapper stole the concept for his hit single “Black & Yellow.”

Songwriter Max Gregory Warren, of Sharon Pennsylvania, filed a lawsuit in United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Friday (December 30, 2011).

The lawsuit claims that Warren authored a song titled “Pink N Yellow,” in November of 2007.

He says he copyrighted “Pink N Yellow” in February of 2008, when he sought to publish or license the song.

Warren claims that prior to “Pink N Yellow” being officially copyrighted, Wiz Khalifa, along with producers Stargate, as well as label Rostrum Records, stole the concept for the song.

Warren claims Wiz stole “Pink N Yellow” and released it as “Black & Yellow,” and “Black & Purple,” in addition to several other remixed versions of the song.

According to the lawsuit, Wiz Khalifa and his producers heard “Pink N Yellow” and “engaged in a scheme to defraud plaintiff out of the fruits of his copyright of the Subject song.”

Max Gregory Warren is suing Wiz Khalifa for fraud and deceit, copyright infringement, civil conspiracy and unjust enrichment.

Also named in the lawsuit is Wiz Khalifa’s publishing company PGH Sound, EMI Music Publishing, Rostrum Records, Warner Music Group and Atlantic Recording Corporation.

Warren is seeking $2,375,000 in punitive and actual damages.

Chris Brown not doing any interviews in 2012?



Get used to nothing but music from Chris Brown this year as the musician is allegedly not doing any interviews in 2012. According to numerous reports, Chris' manager Tina Davis recently told Billboard that CB isn't talking to press.

“We’re not trying to be rude, selfish or disrespectful to anyone in anyway. If people are going to judge anything, judge him for his talent.”

This year will also mark Chris Brown's return to the Grammy Awards. The singer hasn't attended the most popular awards ceremony in music, since his incident with Rihanna went down three years ago on the night before the 2009 Grammys. He is nominated for three awards and rumored to be in talks with producers about performing at the ceremony.
