Soulja Boy is on Twitter saying he might drop a sex tape with his on again-off again girlfriend, Nia Riley, daughter of producer Teddy Riley. Would you watch? Duh! You would only because its a celebrity but I already think Soulja Boy is ugly to look at it. Just imagine him naked if you will. Don't throw up imagining though! And there is word that Amber Rose may get her own talk show. Why? Not really sure but if she plans on spilling some tea on Kanye West then she has one viewer already. Then again I'm not sure about her having her own show. Maybe if she co-hosted with someone. I thought there were talks about her being on "Fashion Police" but not sure what happened with that. And in other news Young Money is being sued but I don't know what. I didn't care enough to read. And Karrine Steffans formerly known as Superhead won't go away. She is making claims that Drake has ghostwritten rhymes for Lil' Wayne. I'm not sure if I believe that. I mean t...

"Rebel" is the newest single from Christina Milian. The song is currently available on iTunes and based on the snippet I heard, the song doesn't sound half bad. It actually sounds promising. I may want to check out Christina's upcoming album if and when it hits. But something sure to help this song gain momentum is a new feud that has arisen between Christina and Nicki Minaj. Christina was seen on her IG page with a shirt that says "Pretty On Fleek", a quote that was said by Nicki in her "Feeling Myself" track so Nicki made a comment saying she is responsible for the "on fleek" word craze that is going around. Then Christina responded basically saying she thought it was an equal opportunity phrase and then it went from there. It's a pretty pointless feud I guess but maybe Nicki was bored. I see people like to throw shots at Christina but she ain't no punk. She'll bite back! I think what's more interesting here is that bo...

Hey ya'll! So here's some music updates for you all! MONEY MAN: So Lil' Wayne is now suing Baby "Birdman" for $51 million dollars. Not only is Lil' Wayne suing for an advance he was supposed to receive for The Carter V, his upcoming delayed album, he also wants royalties from sales of Young Money's roster, Drake and Nicki Minaj. I heard all this today while I was watching Wendy. This is just starting to get messier and messier. Hopefully this situation works out and everybody is happy in the end. But don't expect that anytime soon. Maybe we can expect some new music from Missy Elliott soon. The rapper brought the house down when she joined headliner Katy Perry during her Super Bowl Half-Time performance. Missy performed her hits, Get Your Freak On, Lose Control, and Work It. I enjoyed her set and it does beg the question, is Missy releasing new music soon? Because I think it would be a great idea if she does. Why not capitalize off of the performance?...

ROSE COLORED GLASSES: Amber Rose is certainly enjoying her newfound freedom as a single woman as is her ex husband Wiz Khalifa. Amber Rose was spotted alongside French Montana on New Year's Eve. The two have been rumored to be getting quite cozy as of lately. Every time you turn around French Montana and Amber Rose are attached to someone different. Looks like there is definitely a lot of fucking going down in Hollywood and beyond. BIG BODY (SPRAGGA) BENZ: And while I'm on the subject of New Year's Eve, Ashanti performed in Jamaica for New Years and on her Instagram she posted videos and pictures with Reggae luminaries such as Spragga Benz(Foxy Brown's ex boyfriend), Shaggy, and more. One particular picture of Ashanti and Spragga Benz has apparently ruffled some feathers in the Foxy Brown camp allegedly. Foxy Brown is known to post cryptic and often shady posts on her Instagram posted a video of Rihanna saying she don't need a man. Well once her fans got hold of th...

FIRE STARTER: Nicki Minaj will perform her new single Bed Of Lies featuring Skylar Grey on this Sunday's telecast of the American Music Awards . If that's not enough Young Money star power for you, Lil' Wayne will perform his new single Start A Fire featuring Christina Milian. I think Start A Riot would be a better title for the song. I say that because it seems ever since Wayne and Christina started dating, all of Wayne's baby mother's have had something negative to say. I mean why do you care who he dates now? Your no longer with him. I think their all jealous. CASHED OUT: And speaking of jealous, some of you guys may be jealous of Ray J because when it comes to Kim K. he hit it first! And he is also laughing all the way to the bank. Due to Kim's racy Paper magazine cover, sales of Ray and Kim's salacious sex tape have skyrocketed. It's said that Ray J makes $360,000 a year off of the sales of the sex tape. SEX WIZ-ARD: While I'm on the subjec...

MUSIC AWARD NOMINEES: The music award season is among us as the nominees for both the American Music Awards and the Soul Train Music Awards were announced today. Leading the American Music Awards is Iggy Azalea with six nominations I believe. Her nominations include Best New Artist, Favorite Pop/Rock - Female, etc. Over at the Soul Train Awards, Chris Brown leads the all nominees with seven nominations. For the full list you will have to use Google. Sorry! Both award shows will air in November. SINGLE HUSBAND: While I'm on subject of Iggy Azalea, the guy who she used to date now claims that they were married and he is now filing for a divorce. Iggy has clapped back saying they were never married and all we have to do is check the public records. I will say Iggy definitely stays in the headlines but its always because of someone else who has something to say about her. Iggy stays in her lane but she will clap back when needed. I can respect that about her. BIRTHDAY GIRL: Happy B...

EYE OF THE TYGA: Tyga has found a way to turn attention away from his impending relationship with 18 year old Kendall Jenner, half sister of Kim Kardashian. Have you seen the two canoodling around America for the past month? And they have the nerve to say their not dating. I suppose its none of our business but they go and post pictures together and that only fuels the fire. Anyway... Tyga has called out his record label and record label bosses at Young Money for withholding his album The Gold Album . Now why would they go and do a thing like that? No one knows. I mean it does happen unfortunately and Tyga is pissed as he should be. Tyga showed just how pissed he was when he began ranting on social media, a big no no for any celebrity. He soon found himself in a war of words with Mack Maine, another Young Money affiliate. I'm thinking like damn can't we all just get along? STING RAY: I suppose not because Ray J and his now ex-girlfriend Princess Love are a...

I know I know! I'm a little LATE on some of this news though but better late than never I guess. So here it is: TINY DANCER: The BET Awards '14 were two nights ago but they are still the talk of the town. And there are still stories being reported about things that went down on the red carpet and beyond. One story that is being reported is that while on the red carpet, Tiny was being interviewed and Floyd Mayweather reached out to her and she rejected and walked away. Clearly Floyd was clearly kicking up dirt and being the asshole he's been portraying himself to be. Tiny & T.I. were seated together in the front row at the BET Awards of course so they could catch every action and reaction. The couple seemed all smiles but they walked the red carpet separately. MAD TANK: Tank is mad at the BET Awards for not receiving the coveted(ha!) Best Group award. Instead the award went to Young Money who some say aren't actually a group. I disagree. They are a group. They'v...

So I was browsing on some of the forums I frequent and came across word that Drake may be signing Cassie to Cash Money? Last I read Cassie was signed to Bad Boy/Interscope. This could all very well be a rumor but you never know. Do you think Drake can turn Cassie's music career around? It will definitely take a miracle, that's for sure. Monday nights for me are reserved for Love & Hip Hop Atlanta . One of the stars, K. Michelle has a new album in stores tomorrow, Rebellious Soul. The album features the current single V.S.O.P. It has been revealed that the next single lifted from the album will be titled The Right One which was written and produced by Tank. A video for the song has been shot. Speaking of new album and single releases...Babyface & Toni Braxton will release a duets album; Love, Marriage & Divorce . The album released through Motown Records at the top of the year features the first single Hurts You . Estelle known for her hits American Boy and Thank ...

You thought Lil' Wayne caught hell by being sued repeatedly over select songs from his "The Carter III" album; well looks like that string of bad luck is carrying over. This time the Young Money single; "Bedrock" is the subject of a lawsuit. Read more below: Rapper Lil' Wayne has been hit with a $15,000,000 lawsuit over the hit single “BedRock.” Done Deal Enterprises, based in Waynesboro, Georgia, filed a lawsuit against Lil Wayne, Young Money Records, and Cash Money Records, in the United States District Court, Southern district of New York, over the song. The lawsuit, which was filed on August 1st, claims that the rapper stole their copyrighted tune “BedRock,” and incorporated it into the track of the same name, that was eventually featured on the compilation album We Are Young Money. We Are Young Money peaked at #1 on the Billboard Rap charts upon its release in December of 2009. The Young Money version of the tune featured guest appearances by Drak...

Around the 6:18 mark you can see where everyone starts talking about Lady GaGa and her sexuality and later on Lil' Mama jumping on stage with Jay-Z. The video is rather lengthy though. Check it out! Music Biz: TLC's Chili Stars In Upcoming Reality Show! TLC star Chilli is the latest known name to jump on the reality TV bandwagon. However unlike the likes of Monica and Fantasia, Chilli’s show will not centre on her music career. Instead, the singer, real name Rozonda Thomas, is looking for love (Flava Flav and Ray J style) with her new VH1 show ‘What Chilli Wants’. Check out the casting call sent out for the show, which is set to premiere on March 28th, below: She is known as a superstar around the world.

Now that the fourth quarter of music releases is under way, you can expect a major shake up in release dates. Everyone is trying to get a piece of the holiday sales that come along with Black Friday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and afterwards. 'Super Tuesday' is a phrase used to describe a huge number of releases for that given Tuesday specifically for albums. In the next month or two you will see plenty of 'Super Tuesday[s]' and December 15(which is on a Tuesday) is good enough to write about hence the post title. Check out the the releases and some slight info below! Alicia Keys, The Element Of Freedom First single, "Doesn't Mean Anything" isn't exactly setting the charts on fire like a typical Alicia Keys release. There seems to be a bit of backlash from the whole Swizz Beats/Mashonda incident and "Doesn't Mean Anything" sounding too much like "No One". I don't care much for Alicia Keys but I do like a handful of her son...

Drake is riding high with multiple hit singles and what not but with that comes a whole lot of problems, obviously. Find out why Drake is upset with his new label distribution deal. Teairra Mari reveals a hidden beef with two singers and Amerie bites the dust again! Read below for more on these stories! Drake Faces Label Troubles! Despite signing his record deal directly through his management, new reports allege that newcomer Drake may be forced against his will to accept distribution for his debut album through Universal Motown. Reps at Motown are requesting all Drake Billboard chart entries be credited to Motown and not Republic moving forward -- a change that will be reflected in this week's charts. A source close to Drake says the rapper is signed to Republic, but that Motown will distribute the album, alleging that Motown -- specifically label president Sylvia Rhone -- wants to take "credit for anything involving Drake." The news isn't expected to be taken well ...

One, if not thee hottest rap groups out now is Young Money spearheaded by Lil' Wayne takes us behind the scenes of their "America's Most Wanted" tour. Check it out!

for Young Money's "Every Girl" is in full effect! Meanwhile Amerie talks her past label situations and Cassie speaks on her new album. Read on about it! Music Biz: Amerie On Columbia Records, Beyonce! AHHA: Did you feel Columbia was down for your project? Their priority artist on their roster seems to be Beyoncé. Amerie: Every label should never have one priority artist. That’s not good because contracts run out and then what are you going to do? It’s always good to just nurture different talent and everyone has a different flavor. I just felt like I loved the staff, they were really, really cool on a personal level and had some really creative ideas, but it just wasn’t meshing. A lot people said I really didn’t get the support that I should’ve had, marketing and all of those things, but it really wasn’t…you just really have to have that great match. It’s like a marriage. It just wasn’t working and I felt like that a little after my first project, kind of after my second ...

Nicki Minaj is always being interviewed. That's certainly not a bad thing. I just don't like the fact that all the interviews are pretty much the same. In this clip though you can see Nicki performing cuts from her mixtape, "Beam Me Up Scotty". Check it out! Music Biz: Rihanna In Tattoo Fiasco! Rihanna could be headed to a Manhattan courtroom over allegations that she tattooed three patrons without a license in New York. The "Umbrella" singer, working on the follow up to 2007s "Good Girl Gone Bad," allegedly tattooed three willing fans with umbrellas and the letter R at East Side Ink in New York. According to New York based authorities the action, while innocent to the fans who received the tattoos, is illegal. "Only licensed tattoo artists can administer tattoos in the city according to the city's health code. We are sending someone down to follow up on this". If convicted, Rihanna could be slapped with misdemeanor charges and up to ...

Do you like it pretty? Do you like it dirty? or Do you like it young? Lately several new groups have been formed all including the name 'money'. Certainly there is money to be made and who doesn't love money. Starting with Trina, the rapstress has formed a female super group titled, Pretty Money. The group has appeared on a few songs with Trina primarily on the "Millionaires Girl's Club" mixtape released a few months ago. Dirty Money is the newest group featuring Diddy, Dawn Richards(formerly of Danity Kane), and Kaleena(Who?). The group has already released a song called, "Angels" which features the late Notorious B.I.G. I haven't heard the song so I don't know if its any good. I also remember reading that Dirty Money will make an appearance on Diddy's upcoming album, "Last Train To Paris". Perhaps one of the biggest rap clicks in recent years is Young Money. Spearheaded by Lil' Wayne, the group features upcoming rappers su...
