DJ Envy Admits Affair With LHH Star Erica Mena (Details)
Reports Rhymes With Snitch:
In an on-air confession Envy admitted,
“It’s a difficult thing to do. Sometimes being married it makes you insecure dude. I looked like I had everything. It was scary, my wife is gorgeous. She might need somebody that’s smarter than me. It made me insecure.”
“With being insecure, with me being weak. I was so insecure and so down..I started messing with somebody that was beneath me. A bird. Evil. A liar. Somebody that was desperate and it’s just so pathetic. I mean I didn’t have to feed this person. I didn’t have to make her feel special, because she wasn’t. So that’s what it was.”
While Envy never mentioned Erica’s name, it’s no secret who he was talking about, especially after Erica responded to Envy online.
Kris Jenner Wants To Manage Kanye West’s Career?
Reports Radar Online:
“Kris has wanted to manage someone of Kanye’s stature and talent for a very long time,” a source close to the family tells Radar. “She feels that it could open even bigger doors for her career, and she is always looking to expand her client base. Kris has told Kanye that she would love to be his manager — even though he has a team in place.
“She said she would be willing to start out representing him in new endorsements and his personal life as it pertains to the reality shows…..Kris reps Khloe’s hubby, Lamar Odom in non-basketball matters. Kanye politely declined though as he is extremely happy with his current manager, agent, etc. Kris took it well, but she will definitely approach Kanye again if she sees an opening.”
However, despite Kris’ tenacity and overwhelming desire to sink her manager claws into Kanye, the rapper is holding fast and won’t be giving in.
“Kanye won’t be pressured into anything about his career by Kris,” the source says. “He knows how to say no, and won’t be pushed into anything. Look at the announcement of Kim’s pregnancy, Kanye did that all on his own.”

Police File Complaint Against Father Of 9-Year-Old Lil Poopy (Video)
Reports HipHopWired:
Instead of focussing on school, playing video games, or whatever else children involve themselves in these days, the youngster stars in music videos deemed s*xually explicit; including one which shows him slapping the backside of a grown woman.
A “51A” report has been filed with the state, and allows DCF to investigate the claims, if necessary.
Poopy, real name Luis Rivera Jr., is only in the fourth grade, but his father could be found guilty of child abuse over his musical dreams. The child has taken the stage alongside the likes of Sean “Diddy” Combs, and recorded a remix to French Montana’s “Pop That” single. In the video for his interpretation of Montana’s hit, the little boy is seen riding in a Ferrari before the driver, yet another grown woman, gets out to clean the tires and bend over for the camera.
Given his tiny voice, and age, his lyrics are so ridiculous they shouldn’t be taken seriously, but authorities believe that legal action is in order. “It’s a bit much for a 9-year-old. It warrants the attention of the Department of Children and Families,” said police Lt. David Dickinson.
According to the child’s father, Luis Rivera Sr., his son “is not doing anything wrong” in the videos. The 30-year-old went on to state that the child is just “acting.” When questioned about Poopy slapping the butt of a grown woman, he likened the move to a game of baseball. “When you hit a home run, when you go to the bleachers, they tap you on the butt.”
Aside from the police, others who have viewed Poopy’s music video don’t share in his father’s sentiments. “It’s disgusting,” commented Ollie Jay Spears, a married father of three and community activist in Brockton. After reading a 1-page feature on Poopy in the local newspaper, Spears Googled the child and came upon his YouTube videos. “With the girl bent over and the other girl grinding into him. A 9-year-old with stacks of money and rapping about glorifying the drug trade, and demeaning women? A kid at the third- or fourth-grade level, talking about coke? It’s not entertaining. That’s borderline child abuse.”
Poopy isn’t the only young person under fire over their rap aspiration. The music of 13-year-old Chicago rapper, Lil Mouse has also been called into question.

20 Teens Arrested, 2 Injured In Mall Riot Following Mindless Behavior Appearance
Looks like the fans lived up to the band’s name…from CBS in Chicago:
An appearance by the boy band Mindless Behavior on Saturday afternoon was followed by a youth disturbance that closed Ford City Mall and left at least two people with minor injuries.
Chicago police say teens became disruptive in connection with the scheduled appearance of the tween idols, but mall officials insisted the two events were unrelated.
John Sarama, senior general manager of Ford City Mall, says members of Mindless Behavior finished their two-hour meet-and-greet with fans around 4 p.m. and left. The “family event” was attended by about 1,000 people, mostly mothers and girls, he said.
Trouble started at 4:45 p.m., he said, when a group of “older youths” entered the mall and started causing trouble by yelling, running and using foul language. There was minimal damage inside the mall, he said.
“We were lucky we had Chicago police on the premises. They observed what was going on. It was their directive to close the mall early,” Samara said.
Witnesses told CBS 2 that fights broke out inside the mall and security was not able to control the situation, prompting police to respond. They say the fighting spilled out into the parking lot, where some vehicles were vandalized.
The Chicago Fire Department said two people, an adult bus driver and a juvenile, were transported in good condition to nearby hospitals, and the CTA temporarily suspended bus service around the mall.
Chicago police said there were multiple arrests, but that offenders likely would be charged with misdemeanors.
