Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan have seemed to be real close these last few months but it seems as though things may be changing. During a show on his Rodeo tour with fellow rapper Travis Scott Young Thug referred to Rich Homie Quan as “lame” as well as calling him “Bitch Homie Quan”. “Speaking of horses..You saw the fucking video, man. This stupid lame, that n*gga tripping. That Bitch Homie Quan,” said Young Thug. Young Thug later took to Instagram to clear things up by saying there was no beef between the two but he never makes it clear why he said what he said which makes everyone skeptical.  Check out the video.

Kanye is in Paris for fashion week with concerts all over the city things can get pretty hectic. While Kanye was busy promoting his music and ideas all of his music may have actually been stolen.

Hopefully they find the laptop fast and Kanye doesn’t suffer a leak of his upcoming work that can deal a devastating blow the sales of his album.

Today someone thought it would be fun to call 911 and reported a shooting of four people at Lil Waynes home. Cops rushed to the mansion and set up because and the Young Money twitter tweeted out “Wayne is okay. Wasn’t home during alleged events.” The Miami Beach Police tweeted out soon after “’Swatting’ is a possibility but MBPD does not take chances when responding to these types of calls.” Then Lil Wayne confirmed this also on twitter saying “Prank Kall mane”.

 

Pharrell and Robin Thick have spent the last two weeks in District Court with eight jurors finally getting a verdict on their “Blurred Lines” copyright case. They came to the conclusion that they did in fact infringe on Marvin Gaye’s song “Got to Give It Up” and are forced to pay $7.4 million. The Gaye family was awarded $4 million in damages with profits of $1.6 million from Pharrell and $1.76 million from Robin Thicke. The two released this statement after the verdict game out “While we respect the judicial process, we are extremely disappointed in the ruling made today, which sets a horrible precedent for music and creativity going forward,” said Williams, Thicke, and T.I. “‘Blurred Lines’ was created from the heart and minds of Pharrell, Robin, and T.I. and not taken from anyone or anywhere else. We are reviewing the decision, considering our options and you will hear more from us soon about this matter.”

Kendrick Lamar is going to be covering Rolling Stone magazine and talked about his upcoming project. When talking about his new material Kendrick said “Every producer I’ve ever met was sending me stuff [for the album], but there was a one-in-a-million chance you could send a beat that actually fit what we were doing.” Kendrick also has revealed the title of the new album which is “To Pimp a Butterfly” though he hasn’t gone into too much detail about the meaning. When asked to describe the album Kendrick said it’s “honest, fearful and unapologetic.”

The rapper by the name of Rocko has landed himself in jail recently. Back on Friday Rocko was arrested along with a friend when he was caught drag racing on interstate 75 driving a Rolls-Royce and BMW. The funny thing is that neither of the two was arrested for the actual drag racing but they did arrest Rocko for a suspended license and caught his friend who was trying to flee and charged him with fleeing and eluding police.

Suge Knight was arrested back on January 30^th for murder and attempted murder as we all know. When he tried to make bail it was denied with the reasoning being he is a “possible flight risk, three-strike candidate, possible witness intimidation issues and his criminal past,” said a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Times. Suge is trying to say that the guys he hit had guns and threatened his life and wants the hit and run to count as standing his ground. Yesterday a manager for one of the men hit by Suge came forth saying that his client Cle “Bone” Sloan was not in possession of a firearm when the incident occurred also adding that Bone did not threaten his life and that he could of easily exited the parking lot without hitting anyone. Bones manager says that the object that can be seen in his hand in the video of the incident is actually just a walkie-talkie. We will keep you up to date on this story as it continues to progress.

As we all know Chris has been all over the celebrity news sites for quite some time now and most recently for the fact that he has a 9 month old baby girl. So the singer took to Instagram to give everyone that is giving him a hard time some words. Chris first posted this “When you’re going through a difficulty and you’re wondering where God is…Remember the teacher is always quiet during the test.” Then he went straight into a long post to everyone that follows him on Instagram. “Some of you ignorant human beings on here have yet to grasp the concept of your own lives. This is for encouragement for anyone dealing with their own issues. Half of yall pages are private and the others look so damn depressing I understand why u feel like u have the right to say some of the most outrageous things possible. U don’t have to like me but one thing is for sure… You all are looking though.. That’s the diffeence between leadership and being a cancer to this planet. We have no real leaders or people to join together for great things anymore. At least not the youth… We will one day drown in a pool of our own negativity. Be blessed or be quiet,” Chris posted.

At the tail end of his first show on his Australian tour Drizzy Drake stopped to really thank the fans at his show saying “this is a night I’ll remember for the rest of my fucking life.” Drake took the crowd back to his early days of rapping creating songs in his mom’s basement and saying that doing a sold-out show with an arena full of Australians is almost more than he could fathom. Check the video down below.

If you remember way back in October of 2014 video surfaced of Maino spraying porn star Mellanie Monroe with champagne. Monroe claimed that Maino hit her over the head with the champagne bottle and said that he kicked her while they were in his car. This of course lead to charges against Maino that have now been dropped with the judge saying that there was no way Maino could of kicked Monroe with the layout of the car being the way that it is. Mainos attorney commented saying “False allegations of abuse and assault diminish the severity of such crimes real victims face and increase the fear that they will not be believed should they come forward against their assailants.”

 

We having been hearing so many songs from the Migos in the last year it may come as a surprise that they haven’t even released their debut album yet. This of course is about to change though since the Migos tweeted out a picture of themselves today with their names tagged and a caption under the photo reading “Album ready #JustWaitOnIt” After all the groups success with mixtapes we will finally get to see if they have what it takes to sell albums.

As everyone one just recently found out Chris Brown has a 9 month old baby girl with a former model named Nia Guzman. TMZ has found out some more information recently like the fact that Chris Brown found out about the child a month ago but planned to pay a substantial amount of child support if Nia stayed quiet about it. But that didn’t happen and now Brown is looking from a quote from a judge which most likely will be a lot less then what he was paying unofficially. Though it will be less money we are sure Chris Brown will make sure his daughter is more than well taken care of.
