On 106 & Park, Karrueche Tran recited a list of the “Top Six Things Blue Ivy Thought about the VMA’s”. One of the “thoughts” stated: “I really did wake up like this because my parents never combed my hair.” The joke triggered concern from Beyonce’s fans forcing BET president Stephen Hill and Karrueche Tran to apologize privately and via Twitter.

Musician Joel Mcdonald says the three artists used his “Made in America” song while creating their song with the same title.

Joel Mcdonald is hoping for $3 million for the damage.

Andre has been touring with Big Boi this year as OutKast and said he is getting too old for Rap.

“I remember, at like 25, saying, ‘I don’t want to be a 40-year-old rapper,’” 3000 tells The New York Times’ Jon Caramanica. “I’m 39 now, and I’m still standing by that. I’m such a fan that I don’t want to infiltrate it with old blood.”

“Honestly, I never planned to go onstage again in that way,” he says. “If I feel like I’m getting to a place where it’s mimicking or a caricature, I just want to move on. But I felt like: Let me do it now ’cause these kids [in the audience], it feels good to know that they’re happy. I really don’t actually get anything from performing. I feel good in being able to look at Big Boi and say, ‘Hey, man, we did it.’ Big Boi’s got these great records on his own, but this means something else for him.

Immortal Technique explains why he doesn’t believe the two female rappers should not be compared.

“I think that in this scenario I can’t see Iggy Azalea overtaking Nicki Minaj,” Immortal Technique said during an interview with Vlad TV. “I mean, I could see her having success in her own lane. But I don’t even think they should be competing over that. Not that I listen to a lot of their music, but I’ve heard a couple of songs from each and they’re different artists. It’s not like they’re competing for the same exact spot. They have a different fanbase. I think it just—It’s silly to think that a person should be worried about someone else simply coming for their spot unless we’re talking about someone actually confronting them for stealing material…It’s been awhile since we’ve seen a female battle. Maybe that’s what Hip Hop needs…If they battled I would choose Nicki Minaj to be the winner. I’ve heard people criticize her [Iggy Azalea] because they say she don’t rap like she talks. But who raps like they talk? Very few people…I would say that the people who don’t like Iggy Azalea’s biggest criticisms over her are that she talks regular like an Australian person and then almost sounds like a caricature of a black person when she’s rapping.”

Recently Drake was said to be wanting to battle rap against Murda Mook a well-known battle rapper. This is relevant only because A track from Drakes upcoming studio album leaked titled “Views From The 6” featuring a Canadian battle rapper by the name of  E-Batt. E-Batt denied leaking the track saying on twitter “For the record I DID NOT leak VFT6. I was given an opportunity to record a verse on an early version. In the midst of that someone got ahold.” So to all hoping to get a taste of what Drizzy Drakes next project may sound like just follow the link. http://www.vibe.com/article/listen-drake%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%98views-6%E2%80%99-title-track-leaks

Though Drake was not able to attend the VMAs this past weekend he still came out with an award winning best hip hop video of the year. But what makes this a big deal is that he won the award for his song “Hold on, we’re going home” which a lot of people wouldn’t really call a hip hop video. Even Drake himself gave an acceptance speech while on his tour with Lil Wayne saying “I know this is a Hip Hop award, and I know a lot of you are frustrated like, ‘this is not a Hip Hop song.’ And you know what? You’re right. I tricked you all. Rappers, better luck next year. Other music videos included in the category were Eminem’s “Bezerk,” Childish Gambino’s “3005” Kanye West’s “Black Skinhead” and Wiz Khalifa’s “We Dem Boyz.”

August 24, 2014, police reportedly searched Jeezy’s tour bus and found the weapon. The results of the search prevented Jeezy from participating in the Under the Influence of Music Tour in Irvine, California. Jeezy’s tour bus was searched during the investigation of a previous shooting that took place back stage at a Wiz Khalifa concert. As of today, Jeezy is currently in custody and being held on $1,000,000 bail. Sources say that others in the entourage were also arrested for gun possession.

Sources say that during Nicki’s performance with Ariana Grande and Jesse J, she “ran out of time getting zipped up.” Nicki had no choice but to hold her dress closed throughout the entire performance. Nicki Minaj later posted an image referring to the malfunction with this caption: “God is good. As long as a nipple didn’t come out to play, I’m fine. Love my team. CASPER, Rushka, Adam,

Oscar, Joyce, Gee… Many more to name but they’re all winners! No weak links. There’s no greater feeling than having ppl who inspire u and who work passionately and relentlessly to get the job done.

Mocking Mayweather’s reading ability, 50 Cent continues to post memes of the boxer on Instagram. His latest caption said the following: “Champ if you keep calling people about this. I’m not gonna STOP!!! Leave it alone. You are my little brother you can’t beat me.”

The memes posted on 50 Cent’s Instagram were the following:

“I don’t like it because I don’t think you… need attention to donate money. Just donate money. Just do it — because it’s right, because you feel like it’s right, not because someone calls you out.” Lil Debbie states in an exclusive interview.  “It’s fuckin’ sad that that’s the type of shit we have to do for people to know,” she says. “It makes me worry. It makes me really worry for our future and our little ones.”

Of all rappers you would expect to challenge a battle rapper to what they do best the last one on your mind would be Drake. But the battle rapper Murda Mook captioned on a recent instagram photo “So this is @champagnepapi telling me he wants to battle me, and he is actually serious! Who got the check?” Though Drake may not seem like your first choice for a great battle rapper he is known to beef with other rappers and can hold his own. This will be a very interesting watch if it actually goes down
