Legendary rapper and and founding member of “2 Live Crew” is dead at 53. Chris Wong Won known to most people as the China Man or Fresh Kid Ice died at 7:50 AM Thursday in a Miami hospital due to a medical condition.

DJ Mr. Mixx and Amazing Vee and Fresh Kid Ice formed the crew in 1984, and connected with Luther Campbell later when they signed with his record label. “As Nasty As They Wanna Be” album was the first to be labeled legally obscene by the government and soon they would exercise their First Amendment Rights.  RIP FRESH KID ICE

Rob Kardashian has his hands full with baby momma drama, the break up between Chyna and Rob has been nothing but messy and getting uglier by the day.  Recently Chyna and new boy toy Ferrari escalated the drama by posting pictures of the two in bed together at the time Rob and her were still a couple, I guess the picture was retaliation for Mr Kardashian calling Ferrari broke, if they are trying to push that mans button they might of succeeded.

Chyna claims that Rob physically abused her through to the ground and when she ran and locked herself in the room he punched a hole in the door. Rob claims that Chyna tried choking him with a iPhone cord and hit him with a pole, this doesn’t sound like a healthy relationship for anyone and has the potential to get worse. Their is a lot of he say she say from the couple, and name slandering on social media.  Chyna said Rob has a gun and threaten to kill himself, so she was seeking a restraining order.

The is so messy T.I. allegedly paid her for a threesome and Rob went public with that Tyga seen at the airport frowned at all the drama and said just keep him and his son King out of it.  Chyna went to court to get a restraining order and it was granted Rob didn’t show up in his lawyer Robert Shapiro represented him in court, Shapiro is known from the OJ trial told the judge that Rob was fine with the restraining order and wouldn’t post any degrading comments or pictures on social media, give it a couple days and I’m sure their will be something new about the family feud.

Rick Ross is facing a law suit for bailing out 2 days before a concert date but in the contract Ross can reschedule if he is ill.     Washington County Family Entertainment booked Rozay  for a show at Wild Things Park in Washington, PA and the rapper requires $150k up front. In the contract it say Rick Ross could not cancel one contract is signed and ticket go on sale. 2 Days before the show he did just that WCFE says Rick’s camp explained it had to cancel Rick’s entire weekend lineup due to family and health issues. Rick’s camp wanted to honor the deal and re schedule for aug 12, but that is unlikely to happen and they preferred a refund Ross team say they only received $40 grand of the money sent and is suing for $87,500 balance plus expenses.

T.I. and wifey Tiny celebrated 4th of July together despite the fights and rumors of breaking up and new girl friends they were together in Detroit at Touch Lounge. Xscape had a reunion concert for the 4th and Tip made a guess appearance witch I’m sure he had the place lit.

Detroit isn’t the safest place in the USA and I’m sure T.I. knows that because security look like they were ready for war wearing bullet proof vest and strapped with heavy artillery , if shots were fired I’m sure innocent people would of been shot.

 

Rap artist Webbie has been in the media not for a hot track but for him being a hot mess, it seems the rapper likes to hit kick and choke women. In 2012 the rapper was arrested for robbery and kicking a women down a flight of stairs.

Police were called to the hotel, physical marks were visible  around the girlfriends neck then 31 year old rapper was arrested and taken to the hospital to be examined before taken to jail. Webbie was charged with a list of felonies,  second degree battery, false imprisonment, and domestic abuse by strangulation.

Tupac’s name has been active in the news recently for a number of reasons besides his BMW and personal belongings being auctioned off the iconic rapper was inducted into the “Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame.” The bio of Tupac’s life also hit the big screen “All Eyez On Me” got everyone talking some good some bad.  New York’s Funk Master Flex is out to give  Tupac a bad name by blaming him for Biggie Smalls death! Flex says Pac lied and that why he was killed.

A letter written by Tupac to Madonna while in prison has surfaced and will be up for auction soon starting at $100,000. In the letter Tupac talks about his relationship with the flirty singer but how he had to end the relationship. Pac told Madonna that a relationship with her would make her look more open and exciting to the public, but for Tupac it would do the opposite. 

“But for me at least in my previous perception I felt due to my ‘image’ I would be letting down half of the people who made me what I thought I was.” The letter was heart felt and seems sincere.

“I wanted to explain this scene. I put it in the ending Riot scene at the end with D’Angelo “How Does It Feel” playing. Because I wanted to show in reverse. What Hollywood always shows Black People. Reminds us of the fact that our ancestors Hung from a Tree. So it goes with the whole Race Reversal Vibe of the episode. And who did I call to get hung. MY FUCKING BROTHER. @brodyjenner who was totally down for what I was trying do. And the message I was trying to get across. Which by the way. Is a message that what’s wrong is wrong. Doesn’t matter if someone is Black. White. Spanish. Indian. Asian. What’s wrong is wrong. And these cops need to get PUNISHED. For killing innocent people. So maybe seeing it done to White People. In this FICTIONALIZE piece. And seeing these things done to them. Maybe people will have a lil more compassion when 12 year old Tamir Rice gets gunned down. Or Philando Castillo gets killed for nothing. Or Alton Sterling and Eric Gardner. Trayvon Martin. The list is too long and needs to stop. So I thank Brody Jenner. And my brother @paul_smenus NICK CASSAVETE. Who portrayed Rodney King. I hope everyone got the message. I really want everyone to get emotional about what they seen. And remember. None of the actors got killed in this fictionalized piece. But I can continue to name the black people that are really dead. I believe in this world we in. I believe the cool people outweighs the racist motherfuckers. So that is what I tried to do. Hope you guys get it. #talesonbet #tidal #visionaryideas #hiphopculturedtv,” posted Irv..

Lil Kim rented a house for the weekend in Los Angeles for a BET weekend party and it wasn’t up to her standards.

At 2am Lil Kim and her crew checked out of the rental house unsatisfied with the conditions of the house and demanded a refund from the property manager or owner.

Unsuccessful retrieving their money back after arguments and police called to the house where they told the rapper Lil Kim that this was a civil issue and they couldn’t do anything their hands were tied so they left and Kim and her click left also.

About 2 hours later at 4am a group of people came to the house with ski mask and weapons and took Lil Kim’s deposit check and cash totaling about $20,000 but they weren’t done they slashed the car tires and took a hub cap, LAPD is investigating the robbery and Kim.

Meek Mill made the news once again with more drama, Meeks goons allegedly jumped one Nicki Minaj ex boyfriend.   Nicki left a couple guys out here with a sour taste in their mouth, Nicki’s house was burglarized, name slandered in songs now her Ex’s are beefing.   Rapper Meek Mill who does not fight and goons bumped into Safaree in Hollywood and Meeks peeps went after Safaree swinging and they connected, from the look of the video the only thing that saved him was one of Safaree friends stole a punch from behind then was cornered and took a pounding. Word on the street is that is that Dj Self set Safaree Samuels up to get beat down, DJ now says he’s speaking out to protect his rep, saying, “I rock with both of them and do not like to get in between people’s beef.”  He goes on, “If I do, I like to squash it as opposed to provide it.” All the fighting goons jumping Safaree, DJ’s setting up beat downs up and Nicki Minaj could careless she has moved on and has been hanging with Nas, so if the fights and arguments is about Nicki they should probably just move on.

Chance the rapper received the BET Humanitarian Award and use the stage to deliver a powerful message and even got the attention of Michelle Obama. Chance has donated millions of  dollars to the Chicago public schools and shows and other acts of a philanthropy.   The Chicago rapper called for Federal Government, Judges, Juries, Courts to give justice to those locked up in the black community for minor offenses or being held with no charges. Their is also a lack of fair treatment in schools from the higher ups and people of color murdered by police officers like Philando Castile or Charleena Lyles who was pregnant when shot and killed  by police. The crowd loved the words of the rapper and stood up and cheered and to top it off Michelle Obama had nothing but kind words to add to it.

Hip hop mogul and Entrepreneur Diddy is speaking out on social issues in the black community after the police officer that killed Philando Castile was acquitted.  After the acquittal of the officer who killed Philnado, Diddy calls the killing of black men the “New Normal” that rap and business mogul went to Instagram and didn’t see much about the murder of Philando because its the “New Normal” like we learned to except it and move on It’s turning into a major human rights issue.  Diddy speaks about Trump not speaking on  issues that effects people of color but yet you turn on the tv to see people who look like us innocent people murdered by the police.  Officers are getting away with murder then we get angry then we march in the streets to protest then the cycle repeats its self over and over again, while the police get away with no consequences! This has to stop there will be a day we wake up there will be a day that we no longer allow you to keep killing our kids, seeing this violence or being a witness to it could or maybe leaving us with PTSD and know one is coming to save us send aid or food its time we come together and figure it out on our own.
