Reports HipHopWired:

Hodari Sababu appears in the documentary Hood Life: A Hip Hop Guided Tour of Compton tour, which includes a story of his stepson’s (alleged) stripping past.

In the film, put together by Pitchfork Media, Sababu gives a tour of areas in Compton, like the “stroll” on Long Beach Blvd. After explaining how to differentiate a prostitute who may have HIV/AIDS from a healthy specimen, he delves into the story of opening the strip joint with Game’s mom. “Me and Game’s mom, we started a male exotic club. What we used to do we used to come get guys fresh out of jail, you know they was buffed up and they needed money. A lot of these guys can’t go and fill out an application and get a job, but hey if they look good, they been working out, we put ‘em on. We get ‘em a thousand bucks a week.”

As for Game, his stripping career was short-lived. “Jayceon danced maybe twice, and 50 Cent will not let him forget it. Somehow, somebody got pictures of him dancing in that club with his g-string on, and boy, boy, boy.”

Sababu goes on to talk about his stepson’s achievements, maintaining that he has no problem telling the story because he’s not on Game’s “payroll.”

Of course the father of three has yet to respond , and being that some of the scenes show his stepfather standing on Hollywood Blvd. behind a sign that says “tours,” his motive might just be to get publicity.
But either way, a dude making it clap in a g-string isn’t gangsta. Is it?

From MTV:

In a new interview, the outspoken singer says her label has pushed back the release date of her upcoming album Matangi, because it’s “too positive,” and has instructed her to “darken it up a bit.”

“I thought I’d finished it. I finished it and then I handed the record in, like, a couple of months ago,” M.I.A. said. “At the moment, I’ve been told it’s too positive. So we’re having a bit of an issue at the label … It’s like ‘We just built you up as the public enemy number 1, and now you’re coming out with all this positive stuff.”

Matangi — a reference to M.I.A.’s birth name, Mathangi, and a Hindu goddess of wisdom — was reportedly set to be released late last year, but now will hit stores in April … though, even that date is subject to change, because M.I.A. said she’s still trying to figure out what Interscope wants from her.

From US blogger Necole Bitchie:

Rihanna was out in Hollywood sporting that new hair last night while partying it up in LA at My Studio nightclub. Meanwhile, this morning, her Navy accused British singer Jessie J of throwing a little shade after Jessie sent out this message via her twitter:

I’m bored… Maybe I should get naked and smoke and take pictures of myself and post them on Instagram? Or NOT… *rolls eyes*

Well, that describes a few celeb Instagrams perfectly. Jessie later backtracked, and explained that although she wasn’t talking about anyone in particular, folks are definitely doing entirely too much online nowadays.

I’m going to be honest. My tweet about Instagram was NOT aimed at anyone in particular. But I will openly say the amount of pictures including men and woman nude and girls and guys promoting smoking drugs on the internet these days is a lot. Feels like the boundaries are disappearing. Its become fashionable and in my opinion its too much. Call me what you want but that’s MY opinion and I’m entitled to one.
