During a recent interview  Jeezy told The Breakfast Club “he could have been release the same night he was arrested, however five of his associates would still be incarcerated.” He said “I’m a real one and whatever happened. They detained two of my bus drivers. One of which was a 50-something year old lady. My cameraman or whatever. I’m such a real person and I know we were there in the right. I felt I couldn’t leave them there. When I stepped in the door, I had bailsmen right there.  I just made it clear that when I leave, we leave together. Point blank period.” Jeezy is confident that he will be exonerated of the gun charges.
During the interview the rapper also talk about not wanting his son to be a rapper.  He said “My whole thing with my son is he wants to be a rapper. I just wanted him to  know like ‘this is not for no chain or no rolex or no car, because I had this all before. If you ain’t willing to lay down and die for this then I don’t think you should be in it. This is no different than being in a Martin Luther King situation or Malcolm X. When you say these words, you got to stand on them. “

Lil Debbie states that she likes Iggy; however, she wants to see Iggy release a hit without any features.

“It’s kinda like Iggy’s popping now, but you know my thoughts on Iggy – beautiful girl, looks great, stunning. Her voice irritates the f**k out of me,” said Debbie. “I’m waiting for Iggy Azalea to put out one song all by herself that’s a hit. All the way through. With no features. With no singers. With nothing. I wanna hear it. I’m excited. You’re a fine, white b***h and you’re getting shine. So, hold it down for us and put out something really catchy. All the way through. With nobody else on it.”

Jermaine Dupri Makes it Clear: He did not get fired as Mariah Carey’s manager

jermaine-dupri-mansion-foreclosure

Dupri said he left his managing position with Mariah because he didn’t want the job to eventually jeopardize their friendship. He stated that everyone assumed that he was dropped rather than assuming other options.

“That’s the story that people make because that’s what people—People think in their minds that that’s exactly how it has to happen,” Dupri said. “It can’t be—It just can’t possibly be that Jermaine woke up one morning and didn’t want to do it no more. That just can’t possibly happen, right? That just can’t possibly be the thing. Like he had to get dropped because that’s what happens in the world. Niggas get dropped. But nobody else has a mind to say ‘You know what? I don’t really wanna do this shit no more. I got other shit I want to do. But I’m not that smart, right? I couldn’t do that. That’s impossible.’ That’s what I’m saying. It’s crazy that people just make these stories. I wasn’t dropped. I chose that—I chose to do this because me and Mariah are friends, right? First and foremost. And we make hit records in the studio…This was the ongoing joke. I have a relationship with Mariah better than her and her husband. I’ve known her longer than her and her husband known each other… With that being said, you don’t want to fuck that up. I saw a lot of things happening with inside of me being her manager that could have fucked that up.”

T.I. has had enough of people judging Iggy and accusing her of being a racist: “That pisses me off,” said T.I. “Simply because they don’t have any real substantial grounds.’I don’t like them.’ Why? ‘Just ’cause.’ What you mean just ’cause? Since when do you get the right to judge people? Who died and made you the emperor of Egypt? That kind of sh*t and then the things that they accuse her of, like the racist stuff. That’s not even her. That’s not even in her. Me knowing her, knowing where she comes from–for real, the whole racist thing, that’s American–we forget, she’s not American. So the whole Black, white, color divided thing, it isn’t a part of her DNA like it is here in America.” (Complex)
