Mariah's ex in hospital Nick Cannon is in the hospital after a Lupus outbreak. The TV host and ex-husband to Mariah Carey was seen in hospital after pictures surfaced. Cannon stated that he would be spending the holidays in the hospital. There is no word yet if Mariah has taken the kids to see their father. I hope so though since they typically all spend holidays together as a family. Get well Nick! Speaking of Nick, Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill are reportedly still together and not broken up as its been indicated on social media. Frankly I'm sick of their squabbles playing out on social media. I know people get so excited at the though of Nicki breaking up with Meek but it looks like its not happening...again. Maybe if you all continue to pray, it will happen one day. Ha!  Big Sean has revealed that he will release a new album, "I Decided" on February 3. His album is now available for pre-order on iTunes. The new song "Moves" is now available to str...

Azealia vs. RZA A few days ago Azealia Banks appeared on "Access Hollywood" detailing what went down that fateful night she was spat on and thrown out of a party in Hollywood. A day or so later RZA; who brought Azealia to the party says Russell Crowe did indeed "spit" on Azealia but did not call her the "n" word. Of course Azealia shot back labeling RZA an "ex-crackhead" who "doesn't take care of his 9 kids". Ouch!  And remember I reported that Mariah Carey's fiancé dumped her? Well I just saw a new report that says they are trying to work things out. I didn't read any further. To me, this seems like one big soap opera. I wonder are the cameras still rolling for Mariah's reality show docu-series. "Mariah's World" is set to air on E! in December. Will you be watching? Kid Cudi is feeling the heat from Lupe Fiasco and Big Sean now. Lupe Fiasco came out from whatever rock he's been hiding under ...

Drake's father is set to release a song or has already. I don't know but its crazy to me. Then again if Lil' Scrappy's mom, Momma Dee can drop a song, why not? I don't know the name of it or anything but I went past it as I doing my news roundup on what I wanted to talk about. A day or so ago, Jhené Aiko filed for divorce from her husband much to the shock of everyone. Some knew she was married and some had no idea she was. Jhené was married for 11 months and her marriage remained questionable due to her interesting relationship with Big Sean. The two have collaborated over the years and most recently on a joint album which featured the two cuddled up seductively in the promo pics. Many felt the two were have a public affair while others felt she was very much being in character to the duet album "Twenty88" they released. Who really knows? But Jhené and her soon to be ex-husband have been blasting off critics who has an opinion. Even Kid Cudi joined the ...

More Beyoncé news: Tonight is the opening night of the Formation tour in Miami. Opener DJ Khaled brought out Future, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, and more. Jay Z was also seen backstage. Are you going to see Beyoncé this go round? And as far as the ongoing rumors of who the "Becky" is in question on Beyoncé's song, her father Mathew Knowles knows all! He said Beyoncé is referring to him and not Jay Z. Oddly enough some people did consider Beyoncé might of been referring to her father in some aspects but I think she is referring to Jay in some songs too. Things that make you go hmmm! Meanwhile Beyoncé is laughing all the way to the bank! In other music news, Tank basically admitted to being bisexual depending on how you take it. He posted a video of him saying, "I like what I like. I'm a nasty motherfucker!". This comes on the heels of a report published by an online blog that Tank was messaging a transgender girl. Tank is currently with Zena Foster. I'm not s...

Kehlani, a popular R&B singer whose mixtape album, "You Should Be Here" was nominated for a Grammy last year just broke up with her NBA sweetheart Kyrie Irving. But we didn't know that until it was revealed on Instagram that she had reunited her former boo, singer, PARTYNEXTDOOR of OVO(Drake's label) sound. The singer posted a picture of himself and Kehlani in bed holding hands with a caption saying he got his "R&B girl" back. The picture and the news of it all sent shockwaves through social media yesterday(Monday). I'm still shocked by it all myself. It's crazy! What do you all think about this? In other music news, Lil' Kim just dropped her new mixtape, "Lil' Kim Season". For a minute there it looked like the Queen Bee wasn't going to live up to the hype she created surrounding her mixtape, but the Queen Bee delivered as promise. I'm listening to it as I type this. If I like it enough, I might type up a review. N...

Drake's alleged ghostwriter Quentin Miller says Meek Mill punched him in Beverly Hill while he was shopping. Miller says Meek and his goons ran up on him and left him bloody and bruised. Apparently since Miller made Meek look like an ass lyrically, Meek had no choice but to bring it to him in person. In other music news, Big Sean and Jhené Aiko are collaborating on a duets album. It makes since being the two are label mates and they've collaborated numerous times before and their duets are very good anyway so I'm looking forward to this. Are you? And Lil' Kim is denying rumors that she is engaged to former boyfriend Maino. Both rappers took to social media to deny their engagement though both have been seen together a lot recently. So of course that means they are fucking! Do we at least think their fucking? Well anyway enjoy your weekend! Thanks for reading!

Nicki Minaj's "The Pink Print" has been certified double Platinum! Future's "DS2" has been certified Gold and Big Sean's "Dark Sky Paradise" has been certified Platinum. According to RIAA, they have now implemented streaming audio along with album shipments and sales to the cumulative sales when it comes to certifications if that makes sense. You can go over to RIAA for more information. The new rules of course has some in an uproar but what else is new? So has anyone heard Kanye's new album? The album went to TIDAL last weekend after Kanye's bizarre performance on "SNL". Now I read that the album may not be for sale at all. I don't know what that's about but also there's more to the story regarding Kanye dissing Taylor Swift on the song "Famous". Apparently someone on the Grammy commite(sp) revealed that Taylor Swift heard "Famous" before it was released contrary to reports that says she hadn...

Good morning readers! Sorry for the lack of updates! I can simply say I've been busy with this thing called life and just overall too lazy to update. But on to some music news, last week Big Sean's house was broken into. It all happened while the rapper was in Dubai. $150,000 in jewelry was taken and a ransom note was apparently left behind. There was an e-mail left to Big Sean stating that if he wanted his jewelry back, there were instructions to get it back. Many believe the burglary was an inside job. What do you think? And Nelly won't face charges after a drug bust back in April on his tour bus. The judge says Nelly must stay out of trouble for at a least a year and his record will be wiped clean. Migos and Bow Wow got into a Twitter spat over the origin of "dab". Look it up more for info. Speaking of Bow Wow, his ex Erica Mena has been making shocking allegations saying he's abused his baby mama and maybe even her. Wow! These girls be ready to blab to a...

BIG PROBLEM: So the big news of the day, at least as far as what I'm seeing is that Big Sean and Ariana Grande have broken up. The split was amicable and their people are asking us that we respect their privacy at this time. Yeah right! Just imagine if this was a nasty breakup(which its not being reported as) then we could possibly look forward to a "I Don't Fuck With You Part 2" from Big Sean. AWAKE: In much better news, Bobby Brown has revealed that his daughter Bobbi Kristina has awaken from her coma. He shared the news during a recent concert. But I was reading today that the Houston family saying the news is not true and Bobbi's condition hasn't changed. So who do we believe in this? I believe Bobby. Some of the Houston family members are crooked in my opinion, just look at Pat Houston. I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her. I'm just saying. Thoughts?

"BIG" DEAL: Hey everybody! Congratulations are in order for Big Sean. His new album "Dark Sky Paradise" debuts at #1 marking his first #1 album. Big Sean's album sold 174,000 copies in its first week. The album was bolstered by the hit single "I Don't Fuck With You" featuring E-40. Drake sold 99,000 copies of his new album this week as well. So Hip Hop is definitely being represented as of now on the charts. DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL: Meanwhile I'm waiting on Chris Brown to confirm or deny if this child is his or has he? Anyway the woman in question Nia has reportedly hung around Chris' current or ex-girlfriend. Speaking of that she is reportedly done with Chris and crying in the arms of her best friend Christina Milian who sent out a cryptic tweet about the situation. As we know she'll be back with Chris by month's end. What do you all think? PART TWO: Moving on, the cameras are rolling for "ATL 2", the sequel which will s...

"GLORY" ROAD: Congratulations to Common and John Legend. The duo won an Oscar last night for Best Original Song for "Glory". I watched some of the Oscar awards but not much of it. I felt funny because I wasn't familiar with any of the movies nominated. I was wondering were the films nominated, films that didn't get a huge theatrical release because I was only familiar with "American Sniper". But anyway I turned back and forth between the Oscars and whatever else looked interesting on TV that night which wasn't much. Did you all bother watching the Oscars or did you pass on it altogether? PINK SKIES: In other music news, Big Sean will release his new album "Dark Sky Paradise" tomorrow. The album features the hit single "I Don't Fuck With You" featuring E-40. The album features appearances from Arianna Grande among others. Will you be copping? Meanwhile Nicki Minaj just announced that her and her boo Meek Mill(whose in th...

BABY LOVE: Now that the divorce rumors have somewhat settled regarding Beyoncé and Jay Z, the new rumor is that the couple is expecting. So with that being said is Beyoncé going to hide this pregnancy like she did the last one, complete with prosthetics to throw people off or what remains a question. If the rumor is indeed true congrats to the couple. I remember reading a column saying the couple was wanting to have a baby in the hopes that maybe it would bring the couple closer together. But who knows? ROC WITH YOU: Big Sean is the newest member of Roc Nation. As we all know Big Sean was signed to G.O.O.D Music in the past. Big Sean's albums on G.O.O.D Music didn't establish him as an albums artist. He's always been more of a singles driven artist in my opinion anyway but maybe Roc Nation will change that. Big Sean recently released four songs and one aimed at his ex, Naya Rivera titled I Don't Fuck With You featuring E-40. 

Any news is better than no news. STUDIO NEWS: I was skimming through my Instagram feed and I spotted Rihanna in the studio with Big Sean. The duo is likely cooking up new music for Rihanna's new album. There is still no release date in sight for Rihanna's new album but I'd say we'd have a new Rihanna album by the Winter Holidays. You all excited for new Rihanna music? Keyshia Cole is not only dealing with the fallout from her husband but also her family. ALL IN THE FAMILY: Keyshia's family, her sister and her Mother are trying to get back on TV through Keyshia's name. Keyshia is not having it though! Apparently the family wants some type of mediation to bring the family closer. So the question is why would Keyshia be against it? After all she is the one responsible for bringing them on TV. So why be mad that they want to return to TV? GAYDAY: Ne-Yo is finding himself the subject of more pesky gay rumors. This time a video model, Crystal found her social med...

Chal is serving the TEA! Hey y'all! J-Lo was recently spotted on set filming a top secret or not so top secret video with Big Sean, Tyga, and French Montana. As we all know J-Lo has been working on a new album and she's gone back to her Urban roots. Her new album has already spawned the songs Girls and Same Girl. You all loving J-Lo's return to Urban music or do you think she should stick with the upbeat dance music she's been churning out? I could care less either way as long as the music is good. I do prefer Urban J-Lo over the dance mess. In other music news...Trey Songz has revealed that his new album Trigga will be released on June 30.
