The confederate flag has been seen as a very negative and racist thing to many people and many want the flag removed from states government buildings that still fly them. YelaWolf has come forward taking to social media showing his support for the confederate flag because he believes that the flag has more meaning then what people usually tie it too. On facebook there was a post of a man wearing a shirt which had a confederate flag burning and YelaWolf was not having it. Here is what he had to say in full “Ain't no way I'm letting some ones ignorance tear me from my roots .. you fucking fuck boys can save it with this anti Dixie SHIT !! .. You media succubus in fashion and news are taking full advantage of yourself's business .. Not knowing at all the damage you're creating by giving a false impression of who we are in the South ..

As previously reported Dr. Dre has apologized to all the women he had harmed in his past and the lead woman who wanted that, Dee Barnes, has responded to it. In a new letter to Barnes had this to say “I hope he meant it. I hope he represents these words in his life. I hope that after all these years, he really is a changed man. Dr. Dre has matured, and the women he's hurt, including myself, have endured. I’m proud to be able to say goodbye to the man who at one point was straight outta fucks to give, as he consistently dismissed and disrespected any mention of his assault history. Goodbye to the man who didn’t deny it and even bragged, “I just did it, you know. Ain’t nothing you can do now by talking about it. Besides, it ain’t no big thing–I just threw her through a door.“ Then Barnes wonders if it was all just for PR saying Is this is a PR move by Universal, which released Straight Outta Compton? After all, the film just crossed the $100 million mark its second weekend in theaters. Is it damage control by Apple, which can no longer ignore that if you take the “Beats by Dre” logo and remove the “S,” you get a double entendre describing several woman he just apologized to? Is Dre himself really remorseful or just saving face? To me, the answers to these questions matter less than the fact that Dre stepped up and performed his social responsibility by finally taking accountability for his actions. Who cares why he apologized? The point is that he did. She ends the letter saying this This is bigger than me, and bigger than hip-hop. This is about respect and awareness. As a result of speaking on my personal experience with violence, I have been vilified. Women survivors of violence are expected neither to be seen nor heard, and the pressure increases when it involves celebrities. No one wants to see their heroes criticized. And if they are African American, the community at large becomes suspicious of an underlying motive to tear down a successful black man. Excusing pop culture icons from scrutiny over their history of violence against women because they are elevated to “hero” status is wrong on so many levels. Creating notable, brilliant art does not absolve you of your faults. In the past, great art was enough to exalt men of their bad behavior, but in 2015 it’s no longer the case. Survivors have a right and an obligation to speak up (#NoSilenceOnDomesticViolence). We are too loud, too correct, too numerous to be ignored. Hopefully she got the closure she needed and everyone can move on from this bad situation that happened so many years ago.

Drake was spotted with his ex, Serena Williams, out having dinner in a Cincinnati restaurant and the two were seen making out. TMZ reports that the two huge stars went to the restaurant after Williams won her WTA tournament on Sunday night. If you think back a bit you’ll remember that Serena was the reason Common decided to beef with Drake a few years back so we’ll see if any new beef arises from this but after seeing what Drizzy did to Meek it’s highly unlikely.

Azealia Banks has taken to twitter to rant once again and this time it is about black media and how she feels they have damaged her image. Banks says that black media like BET and HOT 97 let the male artist in the game “fuck up, rape people, murder people, have sex with underage people”, but still manage to support them but she feels that she is not supported because she chooses to speak her mind and the media makes it all negative. Who knows how damaged her brand truly is but blaming others is not helping it and going on rants over twitter and calling people out just keeps adding to the negative view most people already have of her.

T.I. has not been paying his taxes and Daily Mail is now reporting that the IRS has filed two liens against him for $4.5 million.

Though T.I. seems to have it all together for 2014 lets hope that he gets all of that taken care of before he gets into anymore trouble with Uncle Sam.

It is well known that Dr. Dre has a hit movie out right now but some wonder why the movie didn’t show Dr. Dre’s harsher side. Dr. Dre in his past has assualted women and one was even originally in the script but was given the axe. So Dr. Dre has now issued a statement about the his assaults on women saying "Twenty-five years ago I was a young man drinking too much and in over my head with no real structure in my life. However, none of this is an excuse for what I did. I’ve been married for 19 years and every day I’m working to be a better man for my family, seeking guidance along the way. I’m doing everything I can so I never resemble that man again. I apologize to the women I’ve hurt. I deeply regret what I did and know that it has forever impacted all of our lives." Hopefully this shows the women that he is changed and gives everyone involved a little closer in the matter.

The police show up in force because of calls from neighbors. The cops could not do anything to them though because Waka had all the required permits to shoot the music video in the location they were in. So no arrests were made and the recording was allowed to continue after the music was turned down.

There had been rumors that Iggy Azalea had been spending her time using drugs. Recently she heard of the rumors and decided to end them by Tweeting to the public. “Just landed in australia and I am dying with laughter because nicks just showed me an article that says im a heroin addict.
