SPLITSVILLE: Diamond & Soulja Boy No Longer An Item
At least that what it sounds like from Diamond….maybe Lil’ Scrappy made things too messy:
It appears that Diamond and Soulja Boy have split up.
Or at the very least, they’ve been downgraded to “just good friends” status.
After months of being booed up together–and after Diamond’s ex Lil Scrappy beefed on Twitter with Soulja Boy–the former Crime Mob rapper stated in an interview that she’s completely unattached now.
“Well, I’m single, but the relationship as far as me and him, we’re best friends so I think thats what keeps us so balanced,” she revealed in an interview with Everything Girls Love. “I learned a lot from him and he learned a lot from me. Our foundation is that we’re really really good friends, he’s a good person.”

In related news, artists looking to perform alongside Nas may not get their chance:
Choice FM, London’s number one urban station, today launches a search for the UK’s next big thing with Choice BreakthrU, for a once in a lifetime opportunity to perform at The O2 Arena to support international rapper Nas as a part of his UK tour in March.
Budding music artists from across the country have until the 14th of February to submit their audition videos to choicefm.com before the entries are whittled down to a shortlist of five by a Choice judging panel of station presenters and industry experts – with a final vetting by Nas himself. From 18th-22nd February, the final five will face a public vote from Choice listeners and the winner – who will be revealed during Choice Breakfast with Kojo & Jade on 25th February – will go on to hit the same stage as Nas.
The winner will be the first act to perform at The O2 Arena in London, followed by Philadelphia emcee Meek Mill and multi Grammy award-nominated rapper Nas on 19th March.
For more information on Choice BreakthrU or to win tickets to Nas’ London date, tune in to Choice FM on 96.9 and 107.1 FM or log on to choicefm.com.
