Taking to his Instagram to set thing straight about the picture he had taken in Dubai with his once enemy Lloyd Banks The Game had all this to say. “In response to “50”……. When I heard banks was in Dubai, I told my niggas, “we’re goin thru to holla,” he revealed. “It’s been 11 years since I seen banks & the funny thing is, I told myself.. When I got there I was going to go off his energy… & when we seen each other, it was instantly all good energy, so we chopped it.. threw back a few dranks & took a flick for old times sake to kill the negativity & tension that had once tore one of the GREATEST RAP GROUPS ever apart !!! At some point, you gotta be a MAN about certain situations so last night that’s what I decided to do.. It was MY DECISION !!!” Eventually Game even said that he talks to Young Buck often and seems like he wants to patch everything up with every member of G-Unit which would be a great thing.

Some impressive numbers have come out for Puma that show that they saw a $34.5 million boost from what their projections. The boost was thanks to Rihanna being the creative director of their women’s line just last year which gave them a ton of popularity. Both her sneakers were sold out and even the CEO of Puma, Bjorn Gulden stated that it was Rihanna who gave them the huge boost in sales. So good for Rihanna but I wouldn’t put any Puma talk past Kanye anytime soon.

The Game posted a picture of himself and Lloyd Banks hanging out in Dubai which people found strange because Game and G-Unit have not been cool in a really long time. But it was really only still a beef because 50 is not good at squashing them at all. So 50 commented on it on his Instagram saying “What do you see when you look at this picture? I see confusion, I’m not sure if it’s just me, I’m a Cancer shit don’t get old with me. I never ask for trouble but I really don’t have a problem with it I’m different,” So who knows if this will go any further then this but it is obvious that 50 is not letting it go anytime soon.

Kanye West has been begging rich people to invest in his huge ideas because he is $53 million in debt after years of trying to make his ideas happen. Now The Game has tweeted out that he doesn’t have the $1 billion he wanted Mark Zuckerberg to invest but he does have $10 million to invest in Kanye. But there is a catch to this which is Game wanted Ye to fly over to Dubai with him and skydive tomorrow. Game offered to pay for the flight and all but he only gave him an hour to respond to the offer which makes it even more unlikely Ye actually accepted it but keep it right here for any updates.

In a new piece by GQ they talk about about Young Thug and some really strange things about him. It is reported that Young Thug does not like to eat and actually goes days without eating at times. That is not very hard to believe looking at him because of how thin he is. Another really odd thing discovered is that every month on the third Thug has a doctor inject him with vitamins. Plus at just 24 years of age Thug has six children by four different baby mamas. Those are some really crazy facts about the Young rapper and it really just makes people even more interested in him.

Just last week Sage The Gemini and Jordin Sparks had broken up. Now an instagram post from Sage surfaced online today but was deleted soon after but of course people saved it and this is what it said. “Can’t sit here and act industry like this shit don’t hurt me. You’re the only girl I can call at 3 in the morning and you’ll answer no problem. You the only girl that can wake up out of a dead sleep and get me some water because I was coughing in my sleep and the only girl that loves me the way you were supposed to. I miss you too much to watch you look so amazing at the Clyde Davis party and not be able to call you and express how much I appreciated the look because you won’t answer nor text back the feeling is horrible. You see the picture? That’s the picture of me lookin at niggas lookin at you and giving them the eyes like “wassup nigga” and you like it’s okay babe and you makin me smile and feel just a little more secure about it. Lol it kinda reminds me of the picture of the little lady standing in front of the hulk and being the only one that can calm him down that’s you ya know? But yea this shit is crazy I just want to tell you I’m still being a good boy just incase you come to your senses. Valentine’s Day was supposed to be a special day I wanted to that to be our anniversary because it’s your grandparents and maybe we could have double dated remember? Please call me back I just want like a hug and a kiss or something. Sincerely Dominic Wynn Woods.” Looks like Sage is getting pretty desperate if he is willing to take this personal matter onto social media and even released a song called “I’ll Keep Loving You” today which is a little bit overboard but we’ll see what happens.

The new episode of the PBS documentary “Finding Your Roots” has both LL Cool J and Diddy finding out their ancestry. Diddy discovered that his fourth great grandparents were actually free living in Maryland and he didn’t know how to feel about that since so many others were slaves. LL actually got to watch one of his great uncles boxing with family members. The show is really cool and you should make sure to check it out on Tuesdays at 8PM on PBS.

This is not good news but it is not a surprise at all that Kanye West’s latest album “The Life Of Pablo” is the most illegally downloaded music on the internet right now. Though Ye’s album was not leaked and launched on Tidal without hitch most people do not want to sign up for Tidal even with their free trail and opted into illegally downloaded the album. This has lead to the album already being illegally downloaded a whopping 500,000 times which is crazy most other artist can’t even reach those numbers legally now days. What does this mean for the albums first week sales well it means that it is going to be really hard to judge but hopefully Ye eventually drops the album on other platforms.

Just after the Grammys the Weeknd took things up a notch throwing a birthday party/after party that was put together by GQ Magazine at a huge mansion. The mansion was in Beverly Hills and had at least 1,000 guests so you know it was wild. But as everyone knows when things get to wild neighbors will call the cops and that is exactly what they did. Cops arrived at 1:30 AM and shut the whole thing down and surprisingly The Weeknd wasn’t even mad about it.

The Game does not want to put an end to his beef with Young Thug stirring the pot yet again recently. Taking to his own comment section on his Instagram account The Game posted a pic of him in a bear outfit surrounded by women and someone commented “you gonna need a Ted when Thugger catch yo ass!” which of course set Game off. He responded right back with “You must be joking… I will beat the Victoria secret out of that boy/girl.” Young Thug is sure to find out about this and most likely will respond so keep it right here for updates on this ongoing beef.

As you may know Jay Rock of TDE was in a motorcycle accident yesterday that left him with a ton of broken bones. Jay Rock has now today had successful surgery and is doing fine according to TDE’s CEO Anthony Fiffith’s Twitter. Plus he added that he wants the fans to stop showing up at the hospital which makes sense though it is all love they can’t block the hospital entrances for other people.

Kendrick Lamar won big at the 58^th Annual Grammy Awards out of his 11 nominations he came home with 5. To Pimp a Butterfly also won best rap album which is a great accomplishment though it would of been nice to see a hip-hop album get album of the year but that went to Taylor Swift this year. The other wins were Best Rap song for “Alright”, Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “These Walls”, and Best Rap Performance for “Alright”. All in all very impressive take home for Kendrick Lamar and well deserved.

Jay Rock of TDE has been in a motorcycle accident according to the CEO of Top Dawg Entertainment. Anthony Tiffith took to his tweet to share some bad news saying “Pray 4 @jayrock he had a bad accident on his motorcycle.. He’s hurt pretty bad… #TDE,” of course many question him about how serious the accident was saying that he is not in a coma or even near death but he does have a lot of broken bones. Hopefully Jay Rock has a quick recovery and bounces right back.

Kanye West has taken to twitter yet again today but this time to upset all of his hardcore fans who aren’t willing to sign up for Tidal. Ye took to twitter to state that his album will never be on any Apple platform for sale and it will only be available on Tidal which is a huge blow to a lot of people. If that wasn’t bad enough he also said that he will be continuing his G.O.O.D. Fridays but only through Tidal streaming service. This is all great news for Tidal but for everyone else it seems pretty bad but only time will tell.

Rihanna had to actually cancel a huge Grammy performance today after her doctors warned her of the risks of performing. Just after her rehearsal for the Grammy award Rihanna’s doctor actually told her she needs 48 hours of vocal rest or she could actually hemorrhage her vocal cords which would not be good at all for any future vocal work. She was set to perform her brand new single “Kiss It Better” on the award show but it looks like she’ll have to wait a little longer to perform for her fans and hopefully her voice is fine.
