I was shocked when I logged on to Twitter yesterday while at work and saw the headlines that Nelly had been arrested for rape. Now I don't know the full details of the story but the alleged rape took place on a tour bus in a Walmart parking lot. Nelly is currently on tour with pop country group, Florida Georgia Line(I think that's their name). Nelly has spoken out denying the allegations and thanked his fans for their unwavering support. I was on Twitter again last night and I saw a video of Nelly bringing a little girl on stage and talking to her before telling her to hold his glasses. He then proceeded to stroke her hair and sing to her. The concert goers seemed to think the gesture was cute but others online was questioning Nelly's behavior. It was making this alleged rape charge not too far fetched. Many were wondering what kids were doing at a Nelly concert but Nelly is touring with a pop country group so the audience likely varied in age. An online commentator noted...

Azealia back in the studio Azealia Banks previewed a new untitled song today via her social media which features Safaree, ex-boyfriend of Nicki Minaj. While he wasn't heard on the track exclusively, his exact involvement in the song remains unknown. Azealia simply tagged him in the video. Just a day ago Azealia revealed that she was going to be in the studio with a mystery person. Well it turns out Safaree is the person. Based on what I heard so far in regards to the collaboration, it sounds promising. What do you think about Azealia joining forces with Safaree? Is she being messy?  Toya Wright, ex-wife of Lil' Wayne will appear on "The Real" and they asked her if her and Wayne were getting back together after he posted a picture of her on his social media. Toya said she's not sure what the future holds but as of now they are not getting back together. Speaking of Lil' Wayne, the rapper recently spoke out saying that he is not planning to retire but in...

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...

Janet Jackson has been ordered to rest her vocal chords which has forced her to cancel some of her upcoming tour dates. Get well Janet! One of Janet's former collaborators, Nelly has been embroiled in an Internet feud with an old acquaintance. The guy who goes by @loosecannonslim on IG(Instagram) has been poking fun at Nelly's current boo, all the while posting and showing his admiration for Nelly's ex, Ashanti. I believe this all started when Nelly allegedly dissed the guy's baby Mother or maybe I have the story mixed up. Who knows? But the whole story is crazy nonetheless! Don't you think? And Wale was on "The Breakfast Club" a few days ago and I finally got around to hearing some of the audio to the shocking interview. In addition to airing out his beef with Meek Mill, he went on to make a statement about suicide if he is not successful. Boy! I thought Wale was successful, obviously not successful as a Kanye West but more successful than a B.O.B. What...

COUNTRY GRAMMAR: On the new album album front, Nas has teased a Summer release date for his new album while Nelly is recording a country EP, his first since being a free agent after leaving or being dropped from Universal Records. I always said Nelly should go the indie route because his album don't sell like they used to and when they didn't he'd get mad and air his frustrations out on social media. You all looking forward to Nas' new album or even Nelly's country EP? Speaking of Nelly, he and his boo Shante Jackson just celebrated their one year anniversary together. Gosh, it seems like they've been together longer than that. Doesn't it? PREGNANT HOUSEWIVE?: And it went down last night on part 1 of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion. There was plenty of shade thrown around and a rehash of went down on season 7 and season 6. Speaking of Housewives, Kandi Burruss-Tucker and her husband Todd Tucker are still going forward with their plans to ...

HIGH ON LIFE: News of Nelly getting arrested Saturday morning is making the news rounds. The 40 year old rapper was arrested in Tennessee after his bus was stopped and for failing to provide the proper documents to operate the bus, the officers searched the bus. The whiff of marijuana didn't help because there was also marijuana found on the bus as well as drug paraphrenalia and five rocks of meth which tested positive. This whole story is shocking but then again its not. Nelly's use of drugs have been a constant rumor in the last few years. If that wasn't enough the officers also found several handguns. RIDE OUT: And Lil' Wayne left a cryptic tweet on Twitter saying he needs a "ride or die" which prompts me to believe that Christina Milian ain't that. She was singing that she was a "Rebel" for him so who knows. I dont know what kind of relationship Lil' Wayne and Christina Milian have. Hell I'm not sure if they know. But whatever it is ...

Lots of news so I'm going to keep it short. MUSIC BITS: Beanie Sigel is out of the hospital after being shot awhile back. Lupe Fiasco is beefing with an artist who is upset over some beat and some other nonsense. Foxy Brown is still being as messy as her weave by trying to involve Nelly in her quest to get back at Ashanti after Ashanti posted a picture with Spragga Benz, Foxy's ex-boyfriend? Or maybe it is her boyfriend. You never know with Foxy though. No new music but yet you have time to try and pick a fight with Ashanti who is obviously paying you dust. Kevin McCall of Chris Brown Dueces fame is trying to win back his ex girlfriend and baby mama Eva Marcille by proclaiming his love for her via social media. Aww how cute! Until next time folks! Have a good one and thanks for reading!

French Montana bought Diddy a Cadillac Escalade for his 45th birthday! Azealia Banks pulled a Beyoncé and released her album Broke With Expensive Taste via iTunes. Ray J's former assistant and Teairra Mari got on the radio to expose Ray. Morgan claims Ray J hit her in front of her child. Nick Cannon and Amber Rose were partying it up with Nelly for some festivities. Beyoncé penned an emotional letter to new mom Kelly Rowland congratulating her on the birth of her baby boy, Titan. But made no time to speak of the rumors of her being high at the basketball game. Then again Beyoncé doesn't respond to rumors anyway. Though she may address them in a remix song down the line. And that's all the news I have today in a nutshell. For more on these stories you can hop on one of the other blogs. See what I just did there. I gave them some free promo just as long as you come back here! Ha! Have a good night everyone and enjoy! Thanks for reading and visiting! 

Tyga & Blac Chyna - I don't know the story on what went down between these two but when they were together you couldn't see one without the other. Somewhere along the line things took a turn for the worse after the birth of their child. Now Tyga is allegedly dating Kendall Jenner who is seven years his junior. It looks like Tyga didn't waste any time moving on.   Ashanti & Nelly - These lovebirds who were said to be together off and on for the last 10 years finally called their relationship quits early this year. The strained relationship was documented on Ashanti's Braveheart album release.   Beyoncé & Jay Z - Hip Hop's most powerful couple set the gossip blogs on fire this Summer when it was reported that their marriage was on the rocks. And we couldn't forget the infamous elevator video that went down when there's a billion dollars in the elevator.   Wiz Khalifa & Amber Rose - Not long after tying the knot and giving birt...

Any news is good news.  Ashanti is caught in the middle of some drama once again. This time its between her ex boyfriend Nelly and boxer Floyd Mayweather. Nelly called Mayweather out on Instagram revealing that Mayweather hit on Ashanti and flew her out to Michigan for one of his boxing matches. Nelly says he wasn't invited and is confused over Mayweather's claims that he and Nelly are friends. If that's not enough Mayweather is airing plenty of dirty laundry first starting with his ex as well as Nelly. He claims that Nelly borrowed a huge sum of money from Ashanti to support a rumored drug habit. This isn't the first time I heard of Nelly have money and drug problems. Interestingly enough Ashanti has a new song on her album titled, Count which I always thought was in reference to Nelly. After all Ashanti states that Braveheart is her most personal album to date. Ashanti hasn't spoken out regarding any of the accusations but just last week a woman Nelly was ro...

Chal is serving the TEA! Hey y'all! Are Ashanti and Nelly back together? Well that's what the blogs are saying and even Wendy Williams. The two were spotted together at several Grammy parties and only added fuel to the fire. Ashanti subliminally addressed what many may of tweeted her about saying "it was just a party y'all lol". But that still doesn't answer the question. Nelly has recently moved on from Ashanti(or has he) with The Game actress Tae Hackford. Hmm something tells me that all this talk is press for Ashanti's new album BraveHeart dropping on March 4. Keep em talking Shanti! So what do you all think, do you think Ashanti and Nelly are back together or just reunited with a friendly hug and "how you doing" at the parties?

This weekend The Soul Train Music Awards took place in Las Vegas. The premiere of the show will air on Centric and BET on Sunday December 1. With pretaped award shows, the winners list leaks out, well sort of. I do have two of the winners for you, K. Michelle won an award for Best New Artist. Ashanti won for Best Independent Artist(I believe). The show featured appearances from Jennifer Hudson, Faith Evans, Babyface, Toni Braxton, and Tamar Braxton just to name a few. This Wednesday we can look forward to Pebbles appearing on Wendy . Pebbles has been in the headlines as of late due to the TLC biopic which aired last month. Pebbles and her family have come out swinging over the portrayal of Pebbles in the biopic. Expect this interview to be a tell-all juicy interview, the kind we expect from Wendy. Nelly revealed what we all knew but didn't wanna believe. He and Ashanti are no longer together. Appearing on Bravo's Watch! What Happens Live last night, Nelly was asked "Was h...

Michelle Williams is back! The former Destiny's Child singer will release a new single If We Had Your Eyes on June 24. The song is the first single from her upcoming album which will be released through the eOne label. Recently friend Beyonce penned an intimate letter to Michelle praising her performance in theatre for her role in the show Fela! In Hip Hop News...Kanye Wests' new album Yeezus has leaked out after being prematurely available on a password only site. The album features appearances from Frank Ocean(on the first single: New Slaves ), Daft Punk(worked with Pharrell Williams), Kid Cudi, and Chief Keef. Yeezus will be available in stores on June 18. Early reaction the album(via Twitter) has been somewhat mixed from what I've seen so far. I personally don't have much interest in this album so I will probably just skip it altogether. Nelly is still trying to make that comeback he so desperately needs and he might be on the right track. The St. Louis rapper is...
