Singer TQ Reveals Lil Wayne & Birdman Kissed Constantly
According to HipHopDX:
TQ says while Lil Wayne and Birdman did kiss regularly, they were unconcerned with any negative stigma.
Former Cash Money Records singer TQ recently spoke on the controversial years-old photo of Birdman and Lil Wayne kissing.
“I never understood it,” admitted TQ in an interview with KFYB of UGS Radio. “I asked for an explanation and they gave me an explanation and as a man as part of my clique had to respect the explanation.”
“People don’t understand them dudes did that shit every day,” continued the singer, who was signed to Cash Money from 2002-2004. “They consider themselves Father and Son.”
TQ said he warned Birdman and Weezy of the stigma associated with the two kissing, but they weren’t concerned. “We constantly use to get into that and I told them when we in public and cameras were under they are not gonna understand that shit and them niggaz didn’t care. It was constantly happening every day!”
The singer said that the two were undeterred, but remained adamant that the rappers were not homosexual. “We had mad conversations about that. That was a constant struggle and they never gave a fuck about my opinion about it. I have never seen homosexual tendencies from them cats! I think it’s weird, but I don’t think there was no homosexual shit involved!”

SNEAK PEEK: Stalley Feat. Scarface – Swangin’
Stalley took it back home to Massillon, Ohio for his visual to the very dope ‘Swangin‘ featuring Scarface. It looks like the community held him down for the shoot, save for the inability to do any scenes at his old alma mater — Washington High — due to his lyrical content. City superintendent Rik Goodright did address the matter as well:
“As part of the Massillon community, the district appreciates that Kyle Myricks (Stalley) continues to show Massillon pride through his work and frequent visits to his hometown. However, because of the nature of some of his lyrics, we feel it is in our best interest to decline the use of our facilities.”
Ah well…you can check out the pics below. Visual coming soon.

Kelly Rowland headed to Arkansas for Little Rock’s Riverfest, and while there, she treated the audience to her first ever live performance of ‘Dirty Laundry’ (above):
I felt like I could share that with y’all is that okay? Was it too much? I don’t think anything has ever hit a chord like that with me in the studio but tonight I am so happy to be sharing the song for the first time with you.

Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports To Be Investigated By NFL Over Geno Smith Signing
From TMZ:
Jay-Z’s foray into sports management has already hit a snag — the NFL is investigating whether the rap superstar violated league rules involving the recruitment New York Jets draft pick Geno Smith.
Jigga’s Roc Nation Sports signed Smith earlier this week and a photo of Smith with Jay-Z was posted to Instagram prior to the announcement. The problem is … league rules mandate that only NFLPA-certified agents may be involved in the recruitment of clients.
Also complicating matters … Smith’s adviser, John Thornton, was quoted as saying he was in meetings with Smith and Jay-Z, but later said he was misquoted.
It’s unclear what the punishment would be if the NFL determines Jay-Z acted improperly.

Zemmy (@zemmyofficial) – Brittle Pieces
How’s this for promotion: right now, we are all checking into a Nigerian-Brit artist known as Zemmy because — through what seems like more work than necessary — one of her songs has been found on Kanye West’s Soundcloud page. And the song is pretty good, too (it could be compared to Adele’s sound in a way). So while I creep on her Facebook page to get some additional info, you guys can check out the song in question below.
UPDATE: She has an official website.
