From TMZ:

They say weed can make you forget things … like when your REALLY good friend is getting married — just ask rapper Curren$y who blew off Wiz Khalifa’s nuptials because he was too baked.

Curren$y — a huuuge rapper who’s worked with everyone from Snoop to Lil Wayne, Master P and, most famously, his close friend Wiz Khalifa — was in NY for a hip hop awards show when he dropped a truth bomb about why he wasn’t around when Wiz tied the knot with Amber Rose.

“We were totally like baked and I totally just smoked off my appearance,” Curren$y said … adding, “But he knows it’s love and we definitely spoke and it’s all good.”

Above is Storch’s response to the incident, courtesy of Sway…..TMZ’s original report is below. Glad he’s still here with us.

39-year-old Storch just filed a police report in NYC, claiming he was leaving the New York Palace hotel on Madison Ave. when he was approached by two men with guns while he was inside a waiting SUV who said, “Give us all your jewelry and cash or you’re dead.”

Law enforcement sources tell us Storch handed over a briefcase which contained $4k to $5k in cash … along with several pieces of jewelry, worth around $100,000.

The men also demanded the driver of the SUV hand over the keys to the ride so they couldn’t drive away … and the driver complied.

Eventually, we’re told the bad guys ran off without opening fire. Storch says he tried to chase after the guys to see where they were headed, but they got away.

Storch — who’s in town for the MTV VMAs — went to a nearby police station and filed a report.

Courtesy of BlowHipHop TV:

The A$AP Lords were definitely holding court in Brooklyn last night for the release of A$AP Ferg’s new “Trap Lord” LP and the second day of Trap Fest which features Ferg touring through NYC to bless his faithful followers. Ferg and his brothers took over the the Bed-Stuy based Electric Warehouse, making it a sweat filled castle of thanks and praise for the Hood Pope. Holding nothing back and always ready to literally step on someone’s neck, Ferg opened up with the confrontational “Dump Dump” and eventually leading to a finale of mob mania for his street classic “Work” and his new heater “Shabba Ranks” featuring A$AP Rocky who was also on stage in full support of the A$AP Worldwide movement. Let the game of thrones continue.
