Got some tea for you all! So the word on the blogs is that Tiny Harris, T.I.'s wife has filed for divorce. The couple has been married for six years and share 3 kids together. It was reported awhile back that T.I. and Tiny were living under separate roofs. Drama has plagued the relationship in recent months and over the years. Stories of infidelity, open relationships, and social media squabbles would also plague the couple. Most recently, T.I. was upset with Tiny after she was pictured dancing and taking pictures with T.I's nemesis, boxer; Floyd Mayweather. T.I. has been caught with his pants down when it was revealed that he was messing with a one of TazAngel girls(a famous female escort ring and that's putting it nicely). This divorce could get nasty as things normally got nasty between the two when they were together. Sheesh!  Rapper Young Jeezy has gotten engaged over the Holiday weekend. I was surprised because I didn't know he was in a relationship. For s...

Azealia Banks is obviously still feeling salty for being left off of Rihanna's new album but shit happens. Anyway Azealia called out Rihanna saying her new video for her single, "Work" is a retread of Beyoncé's "Baby Boy" video. Azealia later deleted the tweet but leave it up to Azealia to kick up dust and start shit. Meanwhile Azealia finally released her new single, "The Big Big Beat" to rave reviews of course. So have you seen the "Work" video and does it remind you of "Baby Boy" or nah? "Work" is also the #1 single on Billboard Hot 100 this week giving Rihanna her 14th #1 single on that chart. Over the weekend on social media Bow Wow posted a picture of a woman rubbing his head which was later identified as Keyshia Cole. Keyshia Cole has yet to comment on the photo. But what an odd pairing if this is true. But then again Keyshia Cole's taste in men varies from Young Jeezy to Daniel "Boobie" Gibson(h...

Word is that Ne-Yo is reportedly getting married and having another child. This news caught many by surprise and at the same time upset many. If you caught the show "Atlanta Exes", Ne-Yo's ex-wife, Monyetta Shaw claimed that Ne-Yo wanted her to get her tubes tied. He says it was a mutual decision according to his Twitter but also denied that he was having a new baby. So who knows what's true at this point and really who cares? Well apparently a lot of people, just not me. Janet Jackson kicked off her "Unbreakable" World Tour in Vancouver last night and wowed the crowd with a medley of hits but also debuted three new songs, one with featured Missy Elliott who appeared on screen during the tour. There is still no release date for Janet's new album. Speaking of new albums, Young Jeezy just released his new single, "God" and his accompanying album will arrive in stores and online on November 13. Will you be copping it?

Hot on the heels of the news that Drake made insinuations that Rihanna was the devil, Rihanna is not the only musician being linked to the devil these days. Check out the list of other musicians who are rumored to have ties with the devil himself. Check it out!   Beyoncé & Jay Z - The husband and wife duo, whose marriage is or isn't on the rocks have been dogged by rumors of having dealings with satanic cults for years. The rumors have only fueled their reputation making them both two of Hip Hop/R&B's highest paid entertainers. Jay Z has touched on the rumors somewhat in songs but some of the imagery in his videos continues to fuel the speculation. Azealia Banks - When Azealia Banks was signed to Interscope Records, she did a number of videos with several signs that point to the Illuminati, which many believe is a satanic cult. Her videos for #YungRapunxel and Licorice featured imagery that led many to believe that she was joining the ranks of the famed satan...

Ne-Yo unveils the artwork for his new single Money Can't Buy featuring Young Jeezy. As you can see above in the artwork, the song will be released on May 27. This isn't the first time Ne-Yo and Jeezy have hooked up. No pun intended! You all anxious to hear new music from Ne-Yo or nah?  

Mariah Carey is in the studio with Young Jeezy. Pictures of the twosome were snapped alongside producer Mike Will Made It. People are speculating that Young Jeezy may be on a remix to Mariah's hit song #Beautiful . Last week there were more pictures of Mariah in Italy alongside Miguel in what was said to be a video shoot(for a possible #Beautiful Remix). Nothing has been confirmed as of yet so we will just have to wait and see what Mariah has up her sleeve. In the meantime you can check out her new album The Art Of Letting Go in stores and online July 23. Speaking of new albums...Drake's new album Nothing Was The Same will be in stores on September 17. This comes on the heels of singles Girls Love Beyonce and Started From The Bottom . Shortly after the album's release Drake will embark on the Would You Like a Tour trek featuring Miguel and Future.

You would have to have been hiding under a rock not to hear about the fight between Rick Ross and Young Jeezy. The shoving match which resulted in shots being fired took place in Atlanta where the BET Hip Hop Awards are being filmed.  I'm surprised as is everyone else. Rick Ross and Young Jeezy are the last two I would expect to have any altercation.  In other news 50 Cent had quite the night as he got into altercation with Gunplay(Rick Ross protege) and ended his beef with Fat Joe during a tribute to Chris Lighty(who took his own life awhile back).  The BET Hip Hop Awards is no stranger to controversy. A few years back T.I. was arrested shortly after his performance and began a lengthy prison sentence.  The BET Hip Hop Awards airs next month on BET. 

Trey Songz new album Chapter V is in stores and online today.

In stunning news, some very reliable sources close to the situation have confirmed that Young Jeezy is now the Senior Vice President of Artists & Repertoire for Atlantic Records. The label plays home to such big-time rap and Hip-Hop acts such as T.I., Wiz Khalifa, Trey Songz, Lupe Fiasco and much more will hold the Snowman responsible for talent scouting and overseeing the artistic development of its artists. The news broke by way of V-103 in Atlanta's own DJ Greg Street and was confirmed by Young Jeezy's production coordinator, DJ Folk. "Snow is about to have three different situations across three different labels," Folk said last night. Jeezy, who is still very much signed to Island Def Jam as an artist, signed Freddie Gibbs and Tone Trump to his own imprint, Corporate Thugz Entertainment.    http://hiphopwired.com/2012/08/09/young-jeezy-named-svp-of-ar-at-atlantic-records/

Previews or what's commonly referred to in movies; "trailers" are becoming pretty popular where music videos are concerned. More and more upcoming videos are being featured as trailers. Its one way to build anticipation for that said video and whatever project the artist has in the works.

Lloyd is back with his new video for new single; "Be The One" which I believe was previously released some months back. I don't remember the song making that huge of a dent on the R&B charts but I guess the song is getting a second life. Lucky Lloyd! Lloyd's most recent album; "King Of Hearts" came and went faster than most albums. The first two singles; "Lay It Down" and "Cupid" were successful but that didn't help the album any since it was released months after both singles peaked. The album was pretty star studded and it was unfortunate that even their star power couldn't help. I mean he had R. Kelly, Keri Hilson, Chris Brown, The Game, and various other people on the album. It just goes to show you that sometimes less is really more.

Following a series of delays, Young Jeezy has revealed the final tracklisting for his fourth album Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition.

Young Jeezy has pushed his album; "TM 103: Hustlerz Ambition" back once again. This time the album has no impending release date. The album's most recent release date was September 20. If an album gets pushed back like this; its usually not a good sign. Bow Wow has pushed back his new album; "Underrated" as well to December 6. The album was originally slated for a November 1 release. The album is said to feature Game, Lil' Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Meek Mill, and many more. Wiz Khalifa is working on a new album. It will be the follow up to "Rolling Papers". Meanwhile Wiz is pushing his latest single; "No Sleep". No word on when to expect his new album.
