Azealia Banks finally got her day in court today! Azealia Banks has to take anger management classes and undergo mental illness therapy in order to avoid jail time for biting a female bouncer in the breast. Awhile back Azealia got denied entry into a club when the bouncer didn't recognize her and bit her and was arrested. Snoop Dogg is under fire for dissing Trump but everyone says bad true things about him. I don't know why Snoop is being targeted. Bow Wow, Snoop's nephew came to his defense on social media. Jennifer Lopez is now dating baseball player Alex Rodriguez. J-Lo had all the blogs talking when it was reported she was dating Drake awhile back. On to the next... The drama revolving around "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star Kirk Frost and his wife Rasheeda continues to get messier. The woman, Jasmine who claims to have a baby by Kirk is being exposed as a liar by various media outlets. There's also stories circulating from a woman claiming ...

Boss chick Rasheeda finally opened up her store in Atlanta called Pressed. A who's who of Atlanta showed up for the store's opening festivities including RHOA's Phaedra Parks and Kandi Burruss. Speaking of Atlanta, ATLien CeeLo Green is working on new music I'm happy to report. The album titled "Heart Blanche"(?) will find the singer hooking up with Mark Ronson(worked with Amy Winehouse) and Charlie Puth(worked with Wiz Khalifa). It's funny because my Mother was just asking what's CeeLo been up to and now I can tell her. I'm actually looking forward to CeeLo's album. I have a feeling he's going to give us something good. Last but certainly not least, Janet has released a snippet of a new song, "Love" dedicated to her fans. I'm not sure if its a full song or was it just recorded for appreciation purposes. Either way the song has a lot of potential if it is a full song. Meanwhile I'm waiting to her Janet's new single ...

So I was on my way to work this morning listening to the Rickey Smiley morning show where RHOA(Real Housewives of Atlanta) star Claudia is a host. I caught the middle of a conversation where Claudia was talking and speaking about issuing an apology and Rickey Smiley was co-signing. I had no idea who she was talking about because I got out the car to go to the gas station. It wasn't until much later in the day that I realized that Claudia was speaking about Tiny, T.I.'s wife. Apparently Claudia made some not so nice comments about Tiny when she worked on The Foxxhole, a radio show with Jamie Foxx. Claudia described Tiny's looks as a "pig" among other things. Oddly enough Claudia was one of the hosts on Tiny's show Tiny Tonight. But since people have been uncovering old videos of Claudia shading folks, its safe to say it hasn't been the best week for the newest housewife. Tiny caught wind of the news today and referred to Claudia as a "slut" who i...

According to K. Michelle the year long feud between herself and Rasheeda is finally over. K. Michelle has been mending her fences with everyone she's been into it with since her people at Atlantic told her to clean up her act. Good! Maybe I can start like K. Michelle again. I was not a fan of her over the top behavior.

Kanye West lashes out! Certainly that's a headline we're all used to seeing and hearing. Recently the rapper performed at New York's Roseland Ballroom and went on quite the tirade. The outspoken rapper spoke out about the nagging paparazzi and to not expect any skits from him on the season finale of SNL (which airs this Saturday). Kanye West has been busy working on new music and preparing to be a father. Pregnant girlfriend Kim Kardashian is due this Summer. Speaking of pregnancies there are rumors that Beyonce is pregnant for the second time! Beyonce's own Mother confirmed last week it wasn't true. Based on the recent turn of events with Beyonce cancelling her tour dates and having "dehydration" and "exhaustion" one can only wonder if the rumors are indeed true. Maybe Beyonce will perform at another awards show this year and expose her pregnant belly like she did before. Moving on... It probably comes as no surprise that Rihanna is readying a n...

Hello all! I hope you are ready for the weekend! I have some music news for the music news obsessed. I start things off with Ms. Kelly Rowland herself who is releasing her new album Talk A Good Game on June 18. The album features collaborations with The-Dream, Destiny's Child, Wiz Khalifa, and Pharrell. I still think June 18 is too far away. She should be releasing her album sometime next month but what do I know? Kelly will be touring with The-Dream in support of the album. Good luck Kells! Kanye West is set to appear on the season finale of SNL on May 18. No word on what Kanye will perform but he has been working on new music. In the reality TV music realm... Word on the street is that Rasheeda from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta and her husband Kirk may be headed for divorce. Allegedly Kirk stepped out on Rasheeda with a popular stripper girl or escort named Alexis Miller. Rasheeda and her husband manager have had quite a few problems and we've seen it play out in front of the...

Rasheeda releases the video to her latest single Legs To The Moon featuring Kandi. The video features a Rasheeda's real life husband and manager Kirk Frost.  Legs To The Moon appears on Rasheeda's album Boss Chick Music which is currently available on iTunes.  You can check Rasheeda out on Part 2 of the Love & Hip Hop Reunion on September 3.

Atlanta's own Rasheeda joins her fellow ATLiens Toya[of "Tiny & Toya" aka Lil' Wayne's baby mama], Kandi[of the "The Real Housewives of Atlanta], Diamond, and Lola Munroe for a remix of the Young Money single; "Bedrock". Check it out! Music Biz: Erykah Badu Pleads Not Guilty To Disorderly Conduct! Soulful singer Erykah Badu reportedly pleaded not guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct for filming a portion of her "Window Seat" music video nude in Texas this week. According to reports, the singer's plea was made earlier this week. Erykah Badu entered a plea of not guilty Wednesday to the charge of disorderly conduct in relation to a video in which she strips in downtown Dallas' Dealey Plaza. In March, the 39-year-old Dallas singer went nude in public for her video called "Window Seat." Badu said she picked Dealey Plaza since it was one of the most popular places in the city. Badu recently addressed being fin...

Rasheeda has been bubbling under the radar for many years now but I think she is comfortable being under the radar. A few years ago she had a song called "My Bubblegum" that you may be familiar with. If you are not well check out this video featuring the group Cherish but it only looks like two of them instead of four. ---------------- Now playing: Public Announcement - John Doe via FoxyTunes

The name Rasheeda may not resonate with many but she is not a new female rapper by any means. Rasheeda burst onto the scene in 2000 with her debut, "Dirty South". Rasheeda is best described as a mixture of other southern female rappers such as Khia and Trina. What's the difference? Well she possesses the materialism often heard in Trina's lyrics. She combines a lot of the ghetto sleaze you hear in Khia's rhymes(that's of course if you listen to her). I'm not sure where this song(video) is from but obviously Rasheeda has a new album in the works. Music Biz: Faith Evans, still promoting and talking about Biggie since the release of "Notorious" on DVD sits and talks with Jenny Boom. The interview comes in two parts.
