“Pam” from tv show “Martin” disses French Montana

French Montana recently posted on Instagram a picture of actress Tichina Arnold from tv show "Martin".

Well Tichina did not appreciate the post and she responded by saying a a mouth full. “Man oh man. Mr. Montana, I’ve perused (read through with thoroughness and care) your #instagram profile description, pictures & posts… but despite my determined effort, I STILL don’t have a CLUE to one very simple question… “Who ARE you?”.. I mean other than reading that you’ve dated a Kardashian, and you seem to enjoy taking extraneous pictures with LEGITIMATE celebrities, I’m baffled (perplexed, confused) as to WHO you are & WHAT you actually DO? How do you contribute to society? What do you do to HELP those in need? What philanthropic works have you done? Are you on the board of any charitable organizations? Do you posses your own charitable organization? Do you own your name? How many of your followers are actually REAL followers and not computer generated? Oh.. And one other thing, if you are gonna post or repost things about other people (such as myself). FYI: Maybe you should put more effort into aligning yourself with people who can ASSIST you with building your brand for longevity, only THEN will you be prepared to (as your boy Martin would so clearly put it) “Stomp with the big dogs”. But either way, I’m pleased to know you are a true fan of the Martin show despite what criticisms you have. Your continued support is proof that for over 30 years, I have CONTRIBUTED something of VALUE on television to many people (including yourself) and many generations and hopefully more to come. Hit me up and maybe I can hook you into individuals who have “Serious Inquiries” regarding hiring you. I just need to know what exactly it is that you are SELLING, because unfortunately, I STILL don’t know. Keep your head up & GOD Bless! TICHINA … Oh! One more thing, if you know of anyone who has an auto immune disease such as #Lupus, go check out my 501c3 organization at www.wewinfoundation.org – Unfortunately thousands of women (and men) battle with this constant life threatening #autoimmune #disease everyday. It would be AMAZING if you made a donation instead of losing 40k in one on one basketball bets with your cohorts. Your positive & monetary support would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you for your time.”

50 Cent and other is being investigated for theft at Summer Jam

Rapper Slowbucks was assaulted and had his gold chain snatched from him at Summer Jam and he is accusing 50 Cent and others with the theft. Civil investigator John P. Bostany of Bostany Law Firm is heading up the investigation. Bostany think the assault and theft that took place in front of about 55,000 people was because a brand dilution. They think attacking Slowbucks would stop his brand which is the #1 urban brand on the rise from being competitive. Bostany was asked if 50 was being investigated and he said "I looked at the videos and I heard 50′s interview on [Hot] 97 by Angie, who did an excellent job. Questioning him and I heard his responses and his demeanor. If you look at him he says ‘oh I was looking at the crowd.’ I didn’t know what was going on behind me. I was happy that day.’ But if you look at him when he’s telling that story, he doesn’t look happy. He doesn’t look like he want to talk about it. If you look at the videos, every single one, whether he’s the one picking up the chain or not is irrelevant. His body is facing what’s going on and the he turns around, in the middle of it all, and faces the crowd."

G-Unit head 50 affiliated Mikey Fingers is the only person arrested for his involvement in the chain theft.

Justin Bieber is being compared to Sterling

Rapper Lupe Fiasco recently compared Justin Bieber to ex NBA Clippers owner Donald Sterling. Justin was caught on tape using the n-word while Sterling was caught on tape making racist comments toward Blacks and Mexicans. There was such an uproar about somebody that did not use the n-word at all and then nothing after someone just have made a racist joke about it. Some people have come to Justin defense but no one came to Sterling. Lupe think it is absurd that Justin did not get the same treatment that Sterling got. The rapper also think that no one should profit off of racism. Sterling profited $1 billion after the NBA forced him to sell the Los Angeles Clippers.

50 Cent who often uses the n-word and make racist remarks has this to say about Justin. "I don't think he is a racist, I don't think he even knows who he is". "I think Justin is still a baby and he's lost."

Mack Maine, the president of Young Money said the will continue to work with Justin.
