Director X recently chatted with XXL about directing Drake’s upcoming video which is  the first single from his yet untitled 3rd studio album.

Drake trusts me because we go back. We are from Toronto. We are from the same city. We did “HYFR” together. It really worked. We’ve been trying to work together for a long time so when it connected…it connected. And we kind of ran with that. I can’t really say too much about it…but he’s got a lot going on. He’s one of those guys that want to spend the money to make great video. That’s what he did. He went for it. He did his best to make a great video.

According to Star:

On December 21, an insider tells the magazine, the 18-year-old pop star joined rapper Lil Twist and nursing student Milyn “Mimi” Jenson around 6 p.m at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons.

“They all went to buy weed at a smoke shop on Olympic Blvd. in Hollywood,” the insider said, “then they got food at McDonald’s and went back to the hotel.”

At the hotel, the group smoked marijuana and drank a chemical concoction known as “sizzurp” throughout the night. From there, they went to the Baby singer’s $6.6 million Calabasas mansion, where Justin opened up about his fondness for tattoos and Xanax, as well as his plans to build a hookah room in the house.

After that, Justin held Mimi’s hand, and showed her the breathtaking view from his backyard. The insider said that Mimi said Justin was really kind, romantic — and stoned — after he’d been “smoking pot all night.”

The group returned to the Four Seasons, where the coupling between Mimi and Justin continued in his bedroom suite.

“Justin surprised her by saying, ‘I want to know if you taste good.’ He started kissing her cheek and ear and neck and then her whole body,” the insider said. Then, the Biebs removed Mimi’s clothes and engaged in sexual activity with her.

Justin, who stayed clothed the entire time, ended things quickly after the marathon session, despite Mimi’s hopes he’d take things further.

The New Atlanta Couple: Ciara & Future (According To Future)

January 24, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff Interviews No Comments  

Looks like Love & Hip-Hop might have a hot new it couple for next season: during an interview with Hot 107.9, ATLien Future gushed about his relationship with current ice cold artist Ciara….

“She’s a beautiful woman, amazing, incredible, everything that comes with those words, that’s what she represents. I can tell you, all the negativity that comes with me and her is not true. Our personal lives is our personal lives. Sometimes people present it like it’s true and they think they have facts, but at the end of the day, we know what’s true and we know what’s not true. And anything negative from that situation, we [are] not even representing that. What you see is what you get.

We are at a time where I am on Epic, she’s on Epic. I love music, she loves music. And we love being in the studio with each other. We love being around each other and that’s just what it is. The chemistry is there. It’s amazing. She makes me happy. I make her smile.

Anything negative around that is all false because every time you are doing something positive and somebody sees you happy, they want to find something to tear you down. She’s a great woman.

I believe at the end of the day, once the media passes over and all of the foolishness goes past, we gon’ [sic] be able to be good. And we gon’ be good. It’s only comments, rumors, and certain speculations. As long as we have that understanding, no one can ever come between us.”
