Rick Ross' interview and comments on syndicated radio show, "The Breakfast Club" has landed him in hot water. When asked about signing female rappers to his MMG(Maybach Music Group) imprint, Rick Ross openly admitted that signing a female rapper would interfere in his day to day business as it would turn personal cause he's likely to have sex with her. His sexist comments offended many leading Rick Ross to issue an apology. Female rapper Rah Digga(song: "Imperial") spoke out on her Twitter against Rick Ross saying he shouldn't apologize for saying what he meant. I agree. He told the truth. How he feels is how he feels. I will say that unlike a lot of other male rappers, Rick 's Ross has worked with a lot of female rappers. He's worked with Azealia Banks, Trina, Nicki Minaj, Foxy Brown, Lil' Kim, and more.  I, as a female rapper would be offended and it goes to show how sexist some men are. Do you all remember when Rick Ross had a brief flin...

Trina represents for sluts. Trina was one of the many celebrities that joined Amber Rose and her "Slut Walk" event. Other celebrities in attendance included Blac Chyna, Ariane(show: "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta), and Perez Hilton. Trina performed a bevy of hits including, "Fuck Boy", "B R Right" and "Look Back At It". Trina also performed later that night at Thirst, a club in L.A. I got to see Trina earlier this Summer and she was everything and more.  Benzino(show: "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta") called out Amber Rose during her "Slut Walk" festivities to which she kindly replied. Many felt his rambling on was out of the blue but it was because he was not a fan of the movement but also because his estranged girlfriend, Althea was there with their daughter. So naturally Benzino was fuming and acting a damn fool.  It looks like everyone's favorite guilty pleasure TV show, "Rob & Chyna" might not b...

Trina down with the sluts. Trina will be performing at Amber Rose's annual "SlutWalk". This is the second year for the event.  Solange has posted the tracklisting for her new album, "A Seat At The Table" which will be released digitally on September 30 through Columbia Records. Solange was previously signed back to Columbia Records back in the day so its nice to see her get a major release. The tracklisting features a star studded affair of artists including Tweet, Lil' Wayne, Kelly Rowland, and The-Dream. I'm really excited to hear the new album. I've been waiting for a new album from Solange for awhile anyway.  Ciara has filed an injunction towards Future to ensure he stops badmouthing her. She feels that Future talking reckless in songs is hurting her brand. Personally I feel she is hurting her own brand. She should be so lucky people even still care about her. She's a pretty girl but I'm not feeling her personally.

Remy in ATL Remy Ma and Trina will both be performing live in ATL on Saturday, September 3 at Premiere One. If your in the Atlanta area, will you be checking out the ladies? Hopefully we get another Remy Ma and Trina collab, that would sound good right about now. I'm really happy at how Remy has turned her life around and got back on her grind. She is doing really well right now. Her, Fat Joe, and French Montana have a new record out now called, "Cookin", have you heard it?  The big story yesterday was Chris Brown getting arrested for allegedly pulling a gun out on a woman. The woman called the police then called TMZ. The woman, turns out to have quite the extensive criminal record has been blasted on social media by fans and celebrities alike. When I first read about this, I believed her because of Chris' past behavior. Then I realized though something must of taken place for her to make up such a story. Either the hoe ain't get no coke, no dick, or somet...

Hello all! So the hosts for the 2016 BET Awards has been revealed and its none other than "black-ish" stars, Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson. I swear I read that Mike Epps was the host this year but maybe that was just a rumor. In reality TV news, Toya Wright and Mickey "Memphitz" are now officially divorced. We all know Toya from the BET show, "Tiny & Toya" fame and for being Lil' Wayne's former wife. Memphitz is famously known for his volatile relationship with K. Michelle which has played out over the years on the blogs, the court room, and TV. Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose are also now officially divorced. The former couple celebrated by going to a strip club together. Happy Birthday to Prince! The singer would of been 58 years old today! R.I.P.

Love is in the air or then again not so much! It depends on who you ask! Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose may be on the path to reconciliation. The two have recently started following each other again on social media and have done a great job co-parenting. What do you think about Wiz and Amber back together? Speaking of getting back together, Sage The Gemini is trying to get back with Jordin Sparks. The rapper expressed his love for his ex-girlfriend via social media which Wendy Williams found tacky. I thought it was cute but he wants the world to know he wants his girl back. It leads me to wonder what happened between the two. Maybe he did the "ultimate no no" with her, whatever that is huh? Ha! While we're on the subject of reunions, Lloyd Banks and The Game were seen together in Dubai much to the dismay of 50 Cent who has been at war with The Game for years. I feel like 50's beef with nearly everyone has hindered his artists like Young Buck and Lloyd Banks. I feel Lloy...

Queen Latiah, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, and Uzo from "Orange Is The New Black" were winners last night at the SAG Awards. SAG stands for Screen Actors Guild. Elba won two awards last night while Latifah won for her portrayal of Bessie Smith in the HBO movie, "Bessie". Congratulations to all the winners! Take that Oscars! :) Elsewhere Meek Mill is still on social media poking fun at Drake. It seems like when we thought this beef was dead Meek keeps it going. With his recently released EP and series of old pictures of Drake, look for Drake to respond again. Drake just yesterday released the song "Summer Sixteen" or at least I think that's the name of it. Speaking of Meek, 50 Cent hit the club scene over the weekend complete with his G-Unit gang and had the crowd helping him dis Meek Mill. Wow! Expect all these beefs to drag on throughout the year. Following up on that Kanye beef, he did sort of apologize for involving the kids in it. Earlier this week K...

Azealia Banks is set to release her new mixtape, "Slay-Z" on February 7 according to the rapper. The mixtape features Banks' alter ego reportedly rhyming over a slew of Jay-Z beats. Remy Ma is rumored to make a guest appearance on the mixtape. My body is certainly ready for new Azealia music! How about you? Speaking of new music, Rihanna's new album, "Anti" finally got released leaked, first via TIDAL and now its on iTunes with three extra tracks. A physical release of the album is pending. The day before Rihanna's album was officially released, it was leaked on TIDAL. The first single, "Work" featuring Drake was also released on iTunes. If that's not enough new music for you, Lil' Kim has unveiled cover art for her new single, "#Mine" featuring Kevin Gates. No word yet on the actual release of this single and if its her first new single since reportedly signing back to Atlantic Records. We shall see! And certainly last but...

"Empire" saw its ratings decline with its second episode and 50 Cent had something to say about it. He feels the gay story line is too much for some people and its turning people off. Many agreed with these statements as well as their being numerous guests each week. Guest appearances aside, I don't think there is nothing wrong with them but I do think right now a lot of the story lines are all over the place. Now that Lucious is out jail now maybe things will fall back into place. As far as the gay story lines, one of the main characters in the show is gay so what do you expect. Second, the creator of "Empire" is gay so you don't think he would represent gay characters in some capacity? GTFOH! Amber Rose spoke out on her "slut shaming" she experienced in the hands of her famous ex-es Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa. She says Wiz has since apologized for calling her a "stripper" and she forgives them both. Kanye said in an interview he had t...

Soulja Boy is on Twitter saying he might drop a sex tape with his on again-off again girlfriend, Nia Riley, daughter of producer Teddy Riley. Would you watch? Duh! You would only because its a celebrity but I already think Soulja Boy is ugly to look at it. Just imagine him naked if you will. Don't throw up imagining though! And there is word that Amber Rose may get her own talk show. Why? Not really sure but if she plans on spilling some tea on Kanye West then she has one viewer already. Then again I'm not sure about her having her own show. Maybe if she co-hosted with someone. I thought there were talks about her being on "Fashion Police" but not sure what happened with that. And in other news Young Money is being sued but I don't know what. I didn't care enough to read. And Karrine Steffans formerly known as Superhead won't go away. She is making claims that Drake has ghostwritten rhymes for Lil' Wayne. I'm not sure if I believe that. I mean t...

What do John Legend, Justin Beiber, Marc Jacobs, and Keyshia Cole all have in common? Well they are the latest celebrities that have flashed their asses on social media, some on purpose and some by mistake. But also I reveal some other celebrities who have shown their ass and made no apologies. See what I mean when you read below!  John Legend  Earlier this week many were treated with a half view of John Legend's famous backside. I say famous because its been rumored that he's had a little enhancement back there but I can't quite remember him confirming or denying it. But it was his wife, model Chrissy Teigen(sp) who posted the picture on her Instagram account.  Justin Beiber Justin was vacationing somewhere on a yacht and posted a picture of his backside.  Marc Jacobs The famed designer was thirst trapping with someone via DM but accidentally posted the picture on his Instagram page instead. Jacobs later apologized for the blunder.  Keysh...

Janet Jackson has revealed more details about her forthcoming project due this Fall. A new single is said to debut within the next 30 days and the accompanying album will be released through Janet's own record label, Rhythm Nation Records. BMG will be distributing the album. Janet and both BMG both released statements today regarding their partnership. So as far as Janet's new single, what are you we expecting to hear? A slow groove or an uptempo number? Whatever it may be I hope Janet delivers. But something tells me this album will be good. What do you think? While you think about that, Amber Rose says it was possible she was drugged on the night she revealed that ex Kanye West uses a ghostwriter. First she said she was drunk, now she's saying she was drugged. Chick if you were drunk, you were drunk. How all of a sudden do you think you were drugged? Anyway Amber Rose is now dating Cleveland rapper and actor Machine Gun Kelly aka MGK.

THUG NASTY: So Young Thug realized what was good for him and apologized to Th e Game for calling him out in a video a few days ago.  The Game accepted the apology and issued one of his own by saying that hopefully Thug and Wayne can handle their differences. I guess we shall see. BOW WOW WOW: Something we did see was Bow Wow crying over the disillusion of his music career with Cash Money. Now the rapper slash actor is back with Jermaine  Dupri and Snoop Dogg. So Bow Wow is signed to Snoop Dogg? I didn't know Snoop had a label but maybe Snoop will be writing some of Bow's rhymes this time. What do you think? GHOST WRITER: Speaking of writing rhymes, a drunk Amber Rose, ex-girflriend of Kanye West said during a club appearance that Travis Scott(friend to Rihanna) ghost writes Kanye Wests'  rhymes. The next day Amber didn't exactly retract the statement but more so said it was the Coke and Crown Royal talking and it definitely was. Continue to serve us more hot tea Amber!...

LOVE HANGOVER: Amber Rose is not going down without a fight when it comes to her love for her husband Wiz Khalifa. The social media maven expressed her undying love for Wiz in an effort to get him back. Do you think these two will make amends? Do you care? MISSING YOU: And do you even care how Chris Brown has been going out of his way to show love for his ex via social media. He has been making posts about her, liking her pictures and next I'm sure the gifts will start flowing in and before you know, she'll be back. I think we all know that. What do you think? "BET" ON THIS: And Ciara has announced May 4 as the release date for her new album "Jackie", named after her Mother which I think is pretty sweet personally. Current single "I Bet" is #43 on the Billboard Hot 100. A remix featuring Joe Jonas and T.I. is currently in the can and we should be hearing that anytime. Ciara worked with Harmony Samuels(worked with Fantasia), Polow Da Don(worked wit...

It is really hard to keep up with the shenanigans of some of these celebrities. It really is but here goes. BIRTHDAY BOY: So Amber Rose didn't let Wiz Khalifa see his son for his birthday but what else is new? The couple, whose now separated have been going back and forth via social media. Contrary to claims made by Amber Rose on The Breakfast Club, Wiz Khalifa says he never cheated on Amber. So who do you all believe in this mishap? Frankly I'm tired of hearing about it and this just might be the last time I report anything about it. FRENCH KISS: French Montana was seen in the studio with Blac Chyna, Tyga's ex who is know with the Jenner girl and French who is with Khloe. I wonder how that conversation with Khloe and French will go down after Khloe sees that. Personally French Montana in opinion is too much of a playboy to be taken seriously. I don't know what Khloe is thinking and what Trina was even thinking for that matter.

"OSCAR" THE GROUCH: So I was wondering how come so many musicians have Oscar parties? I'm assuming its because maybe their nominated for Best Original Song or something? I say this because Ne-Yo recently had an Oscar party and I think Madonna did too or in the past she has. Anyway I caught up on some much talked about interviews with Amber Rose and Kanye West who both appeared on The Breakfast Club days apart. Kanye was asked what the thought about Amber calling his wife "Fake" and Kanye replied that he had "to take 30 showers" after Amber to be with Kim and that was all he said. It was like he knew not to say too much because he didn't want to make the situation any worse and of course Amber replied on Twitter saying Kim "let Ray J nut on her", referring to the now infamous sextape. Personally what do you all think about this whole mess? I guess its interesting but after awhile things like this get old. And we all await the next epic ba...

BLACK ROSE: So the hot story today is the beef between Khloe Kardashian and Amber Rose. Amber Rose made some comments about Tyga's relationship with Khloe's sister who Tyga is dating. Well apparently word finally got back to Khloe and soon her and Amber engaged in a war of words over social media. The war of words have gotten very ugly with varying celebrities taking sides such as Trina, Reggie Bush, Sanaa Lathan, and more. It seems as if the celebrities are siding with those they are closest to. So for Trina she sided with Amber Rose, not only because Khloe is with her ex-man, but because Amber said she's a big fan of Trina so rightfully so. If that ain't enough for you, Tyga will appear on The Breakfast Club tomorrow morning(Wednesday) to talk about that and I'm sure the recent dis Drake made to him on record. But back to Amber and Khloe, Amber so far has been winning the war of words, adding insults to not only Khloe but her boo French Montana, Kanye West, and t...

MUSIC BITS: Happy Birthday to the late great Aaliyah. The star would of been 36 years old today. Aaliyah's life was recently chronicled in the ill-fated biopic late last year on Lifetime. Ex-husband/mentor/friend(or whatever you want to call him) R. Kelly recently spoke out about the biopic saying that for someone to play him they must know him. What do you think about that? Anyway Amber Rose is still on a mission to get Wiz Khalifa back. The socialite answered a fan's question on IG saying that she wants Wiz back. What do you all think about that? After his high profile appearance on Nancy Grace, 2 Chainz has got yet another invite from the show's host herself. Will he accept it? I guess we will have to wait and see. But something you can see now is the messiness going on between former lovebirds Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo. Jordin was on The Breakfast Club and said that Jason leased her BMW car and didn't buy it but he clapped back and show receipts that he did in...

ROSE COLORED GLASSES: Amber Rose is certainly enjoying her newfound freedom as a single woman as is her ex husband Wiz Khalifa. Amber Rose was spotted alongside French Montana on New Year's Eve. The two have been rumored to be getting quite cozy as of lately. Every time you turn around French Montana and Amber Rose are attached to someone different. Looks like there is definitely a lot of fucking going down in Hollywood and beyond. BIG BODY (SPRAGGA) BENZ: And while I'm on the subject of New Year's Eve, Ashanti performed in Jamaica for New Years and on her Instagram she posted videos and pictures with Reggae luminaries such as Spragga Benz(Foxy Brown's ex boyfriend), Shaggy, and more. One particular picture of Ashanti and Spragga Benz has apparently ruffled some feathers in the Foxy Brown camp allegedly. Foxy Brown is known to post cryptic and often shady posts on her Instagram posted a video of Rihanna saying she don't need a man. Well once her fans got hold of th...
