I got the tea and its piping hot. A few days ago Soulja Boy was on Instagram arguing with another rapper about his relationship with reality TV star, India Love. The war of words between Soulja Boy, India Love, and the other rapper named Lil' Yachty got pretty ugly. Soulja Boy claims he's had unprotected sex and ejaculated inside of India Love multiple times after she claimed she never been with him. Soulja Boy says his page was later hacked after photos of India Love surfaced as well. Fans claimed that Soulja Boy did in fact leak the pictures and it wasn't the work of a hacker.  The new season of "Love & Hip Hop New York" airs November 21 on VH1.

Meanwhile Nicki Minaj is gearing up for a new TV show on the ABC Family network titled "Nicki". I also read the title "Freeform" floating around so I'm not sure whic...

Have you all ever wondered what happened to Lloyd? He was responsible for such hit singles as "Southside" and "You". Well turns out the singer recently got his GED and he took to social media the share the news. Now on the music front, I'm not sure what happened to him. Then again I'm not sure if he knows.
