Bobby V.(song: "Slow Down") is going to court over claims that he was extorted by a transgender woman. Remember Bobby V. was caught with his pants down on video after an alleged tryst with a transgender prostitute. I can't believe this mess is being dragged into the courts. I think its pretty pointless. At the end of the day if Bobby V. does indeed deal with transgender prostitutes from time to time then that's his business. I don't think anyone really cares. I think people were more surprised he was caught on tape. People didn't seem to care that he messed with transgender women and I don't care either. R. Kelly has come out and denied claims that he had sex with an underage girl(at the time) who says she was apart of his alleged sex cult. The woman in question spoke candidly on video detailing how she had to ask permission to do certain things(like eat, shit, sleep, and when to talk). There's so much speculation as to what's true and what...

Rapper Trina is known for her friendly and positive attitude but we saw a different side of her last night via her social media accounts. Miami rapper, KimBrocMics tweeted that Trina was not the only rapper in Miami. Trina caught wind of the tweet and called out "Kim". The two rappers traded insults and threats via Twitter before taking it to Instagram live. "Kim's" girlfriend also hopped on her own Instagram account and threw jabs at Trina. Perhaps the highlight of this whole debacle was Trina's Instagram live video calling out the women in the most distasteful way possible. Trina's response has since been retweeted and favored for Trina's outspoken nature concerning the bums. While we continue to learn of Usher's alleged sexual history with some unknown girl, he has been in the studio working on new music. Usher's frequent collaborator, Jermaine Dupri aka JD posted a video to his social media account with music from Usher playing in the ...

Foxy Brown continues to be an Internet gangster and stir the pot. The controversial rapper who has been sparring with Remy Ma over the years released her own dis track, "Break's Over" a few months ago. The song, however was not commercially released and was simply released in a snippet form to underground and blog circuits. In the wee hours of the morning, Foxy Brown posted a video to her social media account of herself in a SUV reciting the lyrics to the dis track while it played in the background. Foxy was en route to a performance adorned in a pink Moschino hat and track suit. Surprisingly, Nicki Minaj caught wind of the video and commented that Foxy looked "beautiful". Foxy also confirmed rumors that she has a daughter by shouting out her "dawta" on Instagram. Foxy has been teasing music now for the past 13 years and she has yet to put out a full length project. She periodically drops dis tracks aimed at Lil' Kim("Christmas Massacre...

Nicki Minaj surprised fans when she revealed through Twitter that she and Trina have recently collaborated. The revelation caused a frenzy resulting in the news to cause "Nicki & Trina" to begin trending on Twitter. It's funny because some people were acting like this is the first collaboration between the rappers when it fact it will mark their fourth collaboration. Whose album will this collaboration appear on is unknown. Trina revealed the guest list on her upcoming album awhile ago and Nicki wasn't one of the guests unless things have changed. Maybe it could be for Nicki's album but she's been extremely tight lipped about it. Are you all looking forward to hearing this new collaboration between Trina and Nicki Minaj? In other Nicki Minaj news, the rapper revealed that she has two new songs on DJ Khaled's new album, "Grateful" which will be available tomorrow on June 23. The big question is if Nicki will be throwing more shots at Remy. I...

So Trina posted a picture on her Instagram with Ariane(who is one of the cast members of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta"). Ariane is not a regular cast member but a "friend of" who makes occasional guest spots on the show. Well once K. Michelle saw the picture of Trina and Ariane, she warned Trina to watch out for Ariane. K. Michelle is referring to when Ariane said that K. Michelle left her standing outside with no ride. This was seen in the last season of the show and K. Michelle disputed the claims and has been upset ever since. In other news, there was a mysterious sign floating around in L.A. and some other major other cities. The sign read "4:44" and many thought it eluded to Jay Z releasing a new album or that was the time Beyoncé is rumored to give birth. Well it turns out that everyone was wrong as the sign pertained to a movie that will be on Jay Z's Tidal and Sprint. I'm not sure why people always think that Jay Z and Beyoncé posting sign...

Happy Birthday to Remy Ma! I don't know how old she is but if I had to guess I'd say she's about 35ish. It is also Cee-Lo Green's birthday today. Remember back in the Summer when a video leaked of Cee-Lo Green on his Samsung phone and it exploded? Everyone was genuinely concerned for Cee-Lo and it was later discovered that the video was a hoax. Anyway...Azealia Banks will release a new song tomorrow on May 31(her birthday). The untitled song is said to be a teaser to Banks' re-release of her "Slay Z" mixtape released last year. The song will appear on Soundcloud but also iTunes, Spotify, and other streaming services. Personally I can't wait to hear the new music. In other music news, I hear Beyoncé may be set to give birth tomorrow. Missy Elliott wants to do a video to her remix of "I'm Better" featuring Eve, Lil' Kim, and Trina. Will it happen? We will have to wait and see. At presstime, Missy urged fans to tweet Atlantic Records(M...

Hey guys! I'll tell you now, this is a lengthier post so I'm warning you now. So yesterday Nicki Minaj appeared on "Ellen" and she brought up Nicki's rumored new boo, Nas. While Nicki played somewhat coy, she did admit to having "sleepovers" with Nas. She also says that she's "celibate" but may make an exception for Nas. I bet she will in fact I think any woman(or man) that is celibate will make an exception for Nas. I still can't get over how people keep saying that "SHether" has been removed from iTunes(Apple Music) when I periodically check and I see it there. Nas is collecting those coins. I'm guessing Nicki doesn't feel a ways about that considering she's just rubbing in the fact that's she's "dating" Nas. Remy's not worried though. She's been married for several years. Speaking of female rappers, Iggy Azalea will release her new album, "Digital Distortion" on June 30. I w...

I caught an excerpt from an interview Ashanti did regarding her new music. Ashanti has a new single that's on the way called, "Lose Yourself" and she says its unlike anything we've ever heard from her. I'm going to take her word for it. I just hope we get to hear it soon. Something tells me she may release new music around the time of the new 2 Pac movie. I hear that she has some sort of involvement with the soundtrack. As far as her upcoming album, Ashanti said she's worked with DJ Mustard(worked with Rihanna) and Ty Dolla $ign(song: "Drop That Kitty"). She also mentioned she worked with some producers known for their work with Chris Brown and Justin Timberlake so it sounds good. I can't wait to hear the new music. While we're talking about new music, Trina has FINALLY revealed the name of her sixth album which STILL has no release date. The album is called "The One". She recently revealed this during an interview citing she'...

Trick or Trina Trina and Trick Daddy are planning a joint album together to be released through Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic Records. The album is slated to be released by year's end. Meanwhile Trina's new album is slated to be released next month. She is shooting a video for her new single featuring K. Michelle.  "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" premiered tonight and the premiere episode was pretty explosive. Rasheeda's husband, Kirk was accused of fathering a baby by a woman named Jazmine. Yung Joc and Karlie Redd are back together. Joseline is six months pregnant and hasn't spoken to Stevie J. Tommie has been trying to stay out of jail and out of trouble period. Mimi is in yet another lesbian relationship. No surprise there. The rest of the ensemble cast was not shown but will likely be shown on the second episode.  "T.I. & Tiny: A Family Hustle" will air this April on VH1 and the network previewed a teaser with headlines involving the couple...

"Damn" Trina Sorry guys for the lack of updates. I didn't realize it had been six days since my last update. To be honest though I didn't feel there was nothing worth really blogging about. But now there are a few new stories circulating that I can report on. So here goes.. Trina has been making the rounds in New York to promote her new single; "Damn" featuring Tory Lanez. In one interview, Trina revealed that her ass is insured and has been for several years. She revealed that Lil' Wayne, 2 Chainz, Plies, Lil' Boosie, Kelly Price, and K. Michelle will be featured on her upcoming album due in April.  Chrisette Michele is said to be secretly performing at Donald Trump's inauguration and people are very upset. There has been a list of singers asked to perform and reportedly turning down the invitation. I think the majority of singers are scared to perform because they don't want to upset and alienate their perspective fan bases despite...

Damn Trina! Trina released a snippet of her new single; "Damn" featuring Tory Lanez tonight on her social media sites. The single will be released on Friday, January 6. Trina shot the video to the single last month in Philadelphia. Based on what I heard of the :25 second snippet, Trina just might have a hit on her hands. It doesn't hurt that she has Tory Lanez on the song who is enjoying a lot of success. One of the reasons why Trina has remained so relevant over the years is not just because she releases music consistently. It is also because she works with a lot of different artists of all spectrums; new, old, and up and coming. She also keeps up with the ever changing trends in music and that doesn't hurt.  So suddenly Chris Brown and Soulja Boy thinks that they are Floyd Mayweather and Pacquio. Chris Brown and Soulja Boy are taking their feud to the boxing ring and 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather are said to have a hand in the match. Personally I think this w...

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...

"Damn" Trina! Trina posted a live video to her Facebook account on the set of her new video "Damn". The video will serve as the first single and video from her upcoming album. Trina said the song will be released on January 6 and it features Canadian singer Tory Lanez who was also present in the live video. The live video was from a club in Philly where Tory is currently touring at. No word on when Trina's new album will start but I am happy that Trina is moving right along and putting out her long awaited follow up to "Amazin" which was released back in 2010 believe it or not.  Rihanna's new single, "Love On The Brain" has just reached the top 20 on the Pop chart and it sets a new record for Rihanna. "Love" becomes Rihanna's 40th top 20 single! Congrats Rihanna! Rihanna was recently nominated for Grammy's and next month will mark her album, "Anti" 1 year anniversary. Can you believe its already been a ...

Trina surprises fans. Today is Trina's birthday and she gifted her fans with a new project titled, "Dynasty 6". The project contains 7 songs and was released through Trina's own imprint, Rockstarr Music Group. The project is available on all music streaming services. Will you be checking this out?  50 Cent is not surprised by Kanye West's recent meltdown and hospitalization. The two rappers were once rivals due to the fact that they released albums on the same day years ago. It was more of a friendly rival which benefited both artists at the time. Speaking of Kanye, there are reports that say that Kanye has been on medication and he hasn't been taking it and that led to his recent meltdown. What do you think? Do you think Kanye is medicated or needs to be medicated? We all know now Kanye has been released from the hospital and hopefully he will continue to take care of himself.  VH1 recorded their "Divas Holiday: Unsilent Night" last night...

Trina inks a new deal. So its been 6 years since Miami rapper Trina has dropped an album. She has however released music over the years much to the delight of her fans. I got a chance to see Trina live over the Summer and she's not to be missed. Missy Elliott, her friend says she's "the hardest working woman in showbiz". I believe it! Trina is always touring! To those who have been waiting for her follow-up to her 2010 album, "Amazin", we may finally have a new album on the horizon. On Trina's Instagram page, she posted pictures of her in an office sitting among what she described as "strangers" but now "family. At the end of the caption she tagged "#SonyRed". Sony Red is a distribution company that releases music to several independent music labels. Judging from the picture and the caption, its safe to say Sony Red will distribute Trina's next album! Sweet! Now if we can get a release date, I'll be happy. Something ...

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.

Trina gets bad In a surprising turn of events, French Montana brought out his rumored ex-girlfriend, Trina during the Miami leg of the Bad Boy reunion tour. Trina performed her underground hit song, "Fuck Boy" which many have speculated is about French Montana. French pranced around the stage with a towel on his head as Trina rapped to the backing trap, barely keeping up with it. I heard Lil' Kim also had a similar problem. Anyway, Trina also did her hit song, "Nann Nigga" sans Trick Daddy but brought the house down regardless. So, like many people I was surprised to see Trina onstage with French Montana but I guess its safe to say the two have buried whatever beef they had in the past. Good for them! Nicki Minaj has a new T-Mobile commercial and to me she looks very different. I'm not sure if she got some more work done on her face or does she have a new makeup artist. Something is off but I'm not sure what it is. It's not a bad look. She ju...

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...

Mariah's sister in trouble Mariah Carey's older sister, Alison Carey was arrested for prostitution last night or two nights ago. Alison also has AIDS and it was revealed a few years ago. Mariah's brother called Mariah out awhile back for not helping take care of her ailing sister. Mariah has never responded to the accusations. Maybe Mariah eventually helped her out behind the scenes but Mariah has pretty much cut her siblings off over the years for trying to sell her out to the press like her brother did. Do you agree with her brother though that Mariah should help her sister even though they allegedly on bad terms?  You know they say, the best way to get over a man, is to get under another one. This applies to Iggy Azalea who is now likely dating French Montana. The two just took a trip to Mexico complete with pictures and videos. First, there was the video of both Iggy and French's entourages on a plane followed by a video of French resting his head on Iggy...
