Wu Tang affiliate Andre Roxx is now taking action after his name and photo was dragged through the mud on numerous news outlets(case number 1:16-cv-00185-UNA). As was previously reported Andre Roxx, legal name “Marques A. Johnson”, had his name and image used in stories about another Wu Tang affiliate by the name of Christ Bearer, legal name “Andre Johnson” after he had castrated himself and attempted to commit suicide. Huge news outlets from TMZ to Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. had used Andre Roxx name and image in that story and as previously stated Roxx had no way to clear his name because he was behind bars at the time. Most every news outlet has not fixed their stories and or have not printed a retraction. This directly effects Andre Roxx to this day and this happened way back in April of 2014 leading to his career suffering.
Katt Williams has been having a struggle in the media and it only gets worse today. Video has surfaced online showing Katt standing around a bunch of teens and then you see one boy get it up Katt’s grill and then Katt sucker punches the kid. This leads to the kid getting Katt on the ground and in choke hold until some people around finally get the kid to release him. This is definitely a all new low for Katt Williams and hopefully he gets some help because this is getting ridiculous.
Joey Bada$$ joins the ever growing list of rappers planning on dropping more then one album this year. While on “Heavy Hitters” which is a Shade 45 show put on by DJ Enuff the 21 year old rapper said that he has a bunch of unreleased music saying he has 80 tracks so he could easily do what Kendrick did and just drop an album of extras. If those extras are very high quality the fans will buy the albums. Joey said in the interview as well that if it does happen we would have and album drop in the Summer as well as one in December so fans need to watch out for those.

Some sad news today for hip-hop because Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest has passed away at just 45 years old. Though the cause of his death is still unknown at this time Phife Dawg is best known for being a sort of underdog in the Tribe but don’t get it twisted he was one of the founders and was childhood friends with Q-Tip.

Kanye West went on one of his usual rants on Twitter today and this time it was about people not believe in him and having over come that. This lead to him talking about his pop-up shop. In NYC just last week Ye had a pop-up show which had huge crowds show up to it. Though it was only open for two days the store sold over $1 million in clothing sales which is really impressive for something that was just out of the blue. Now this could just be the start and we could see this happen again very soon in other big cities across the country but we’ll just have to wait and see.
As we all know Iggy Azalea was not having a great year last year in the media and she even admitted to having suicidal thoughts and a breakdown. Now Azealia Banks has commented via Instagram on the story pretty much encouraging it. What Iggy said in the interview with J Cruz was this “I don’t know, there were times when I wanted to just quit life. Sometimes I would drive through the canyons to get my horses and I would be like what if I just kept driving.” Banks responded with “YAAS slavemaster, drive that truck right off the canyon!!!” Azealia Banks sure knows how to say some pretty harsh things and it really doesn’t seem like she plans on stopping anytime soon.
A third lawsuit is aimed at Tyga but this time it is not for his home but for the space that he had rented out for his clothing company. The Egypt Last Kings clothing company according to TMZ has been in a rented out spot to sell clothing though it was left by the company in June of last year. The landlord is said to have found ink stained floors and doors plus they claim that they poured ink down the drains. Now this landlord wants a whopping $75,000 from Tyga so the spot can be repaired though Tyga says that the damages were done by the landlord. Keep it locked right here for any updates in this situation.
After Post Malone’s huge hit “White Iverson” last year fans have been anxious to get some new music from him. Now Malone has announced that his album will be hitting in in March but now that we are almost completely through the month it is looking less likely. Post Malone has recently taken to his Instagram to post a photo along with the caption “don’t ask me about music, because it’s coming this week” So this seems like confirmation that either the fans will be getting a new single or maybe even a full album.

Chief Keef has now been ordered to pay a whopping $82,000 for missing a show they were supposed to do at Auburn University. Now this was a while ago because he was scheduled to perform in April of last year but failed to do so and he was going to be paid $22,000 to do the gig. Now the booking was sued by the fraternity for $70,000 which is how he ended up with the huge $82,000 payment.

Despite Young Thug taking shots at him all the time, Rich Homie Quan still believes that Thug is his best friend. In a new post on his Instagram Quan raps along to an unreleased song of his and in the lyrics he says “Thugga Thugga still my best friend, best friend, best friend,” So it seems like Quan is still holding on while it seems Thug continues to diss him which is pretty odd. As always keep it right here for any future updates.

It isn’t really all too surprising though because both artist are very popular at the moment and with the two music videos they put out for the track getting millions upon millions of views online it makes a ton of sense.
Drake made a surprise appearance and performed at the Fader Fort at SXSW in Austin, Texas last night.
