The family dog eats its own feces and then licks Sebastian’s face. When she wakes up she’ll play with the kid for 15 minutes or so and then disappear. Amber and her mom have a volatile relationship, laced with ‘shouting matches and vulgar exchanges,’ which upset the boy. And during the arguments the N word was hurled by Amber’s mom.”
Everyone has made assumptions about Tyga and Kylie Jenner being a couple; however, Tyga still denies their relationship: “I’m not the type of person to really talk about my personal life. That’s just not really who I am. I’m not dating Kylie, I just want to get that out the way. I want to be clear with everybody that I didn’t leave my family to be with Kylie. That’s ridiculous. Me and Chyna, we broke up almost close to a year now. We decided to split to raise an emotionally stable kid. I didn’t leave nobody to be with anybody. It just wasn’t working.”

Kinda tragic. Music was always an escape…I had a two, three year stint with my mom. I was kidnapped after that for two years. John Walsh helped lead the charge in finding me. A few psychics and so on and so forth. And then after that I was in foster homes running around…I get down there [Cleveland, Ohio]. I was selling dope. Was actually selling dope in the dopehouse and I met Layzie Bone. And from that day on—First, I became Wishbone and we went through our Bone thugs story. Look out for the movie. We went through our thing. And from about 14, 15-years-old up until this very day we’ve been friends, comrades, business associates. But that’s who I was before Bone thugs-n-harmony.”
Mike Free says he didn’t receive the proper credit for the song “Rack City”: “It makes me wanna change. I wanna help others get on and get into the same position as me. I feel like everybody has a dream. Everybody has a heartbeat. Everybody wakes up everyday. Whose to say that you can’t get your portion of the credit? I definitely want every producer and writer that I sign to my company to feel comfortable and feel motivated, [not] like they’re being discredited or not compensated fairly. I’ve never been a greedy type of guy. Money is nothing to me. I just had a son, I just wanna make sure that he gets those values, just understand you gotta be fair if you want people to work hard everyday you gotta be fair.”

When she was asked about Meek Mill “Sometimes we hang out, and when we hang out, we have fun. [laughs] This is what I want to say about him: People think for some strange reason that we just started becoming friends recently.

I just want to make some shit known and make some shit loud and clear and niggas better get my message,” he said. “Tyga, all that shit, just let it go… I don’t wanna see no more tweets, none of that shit my nigga. Like I told ya’ll I’m fucking with Drake. I fuck with the OVO movement. It’s official my nigga so it’s ride or die and I’m riding or dying with OVO. I don’t give a fuck about you from Cali. That shit don’t mean nothing to me bro.”
Kanye West discussed his recent success during an interview: “I feel like I’m Eminem, you know?” he said. “You don’t think ‘white rapper.’ You just think Eminem. You don’t think celebrity designer, straight designer, black designer, all these types of things that kind of held me back conceptually in being accepted as a designer. You just think of those words. But when those moon boots come out, you put them on your feet and just swag out and go somewhere with your friends, those words don’t matter.”
Amber Rose told reporters about her time while going through divorce: “I sat in the house and cried for four months straight. Everyday, all day, when I woke up, when I went to bed. In the middle of the night…Wiz was the love of my life. He broke my heart. You know, now, it’s months later and I’m just trying to date. I just want nice guys. That’s it.”
“Since I filed for divorce my husband has been out with 50 different women,” she said. “Pulling sweaty white bitches out the club. All these other girls, I ain’t even gonna talk shit, all these other girls, do whatever. Not only was I in the house crying everyday, mourning my husband. You know, I had to see that on top of it. And I’m in the house. I was like, ‘You know what Chy?’ (my friend) ‘Maybe we should go out tonight. Maybe I should go out and just have a couple drinks, let loose a little bit.’ Chris Brown, I did Chris Brown’s video seven years ago. He’s been my friend for such a long time. I wasn’t like, ‘I’m gonna go to the club and be all over the Internet.’ He was there and we danced for like 20 seconds. Yes it was petty. It was so petty. But that’s what happens as women when you get your feelings hurt, you’re in a very vulnerable state to be petty at times. That was one of those times.”
Diddy has unresolved issues with Drake, a producer recently spoke to sources about where the problem allegedly started: “No it was called something really generic and stupid like, “Vibes” or something. Originally it was a three minute idea that had all these different parts and I didn’t really write it with any intent of it being used for Drake or for anyone in particular. I just kinda wrote it and gave it to Boi-1da, who was in session at the time in Miami, this was with Diddy. This was like the whole controversy of the incident. From what I understand he made the beat on the spot, played it for Diddy and Diddy passed on it, he said it wasn’t life changing enough and that was that. Then fast forward, “0 to 100” becomes this huge hit and then there’s this weird… whatever happened there? I don’t know, but as far as I understand that’s how it went down.”
