Kerry Rhodes Denies Being Gay….Because He’s Getting Married
Reports Baller Alert:
Kerry Rhodes refuses to twerk out the closet. The NFL star was first exposed by his alleged ex-gay lover Russell “Hollywood” Simpson last week. Photos, interviews and text messages revealing the secret relationship were laid before the world to see but Kerry did what anyone with skeletons in their closet does once the door has been opened; DENY, DENY and DENY some more!
According to a member of Kerry Rhodes’s team, the suspect baller has dated a woman for over 10 years, but no one has seen the woman, no one knows the woman’s name, there are no photos of the woman with Kerry, she has never been to Arizona because she doesn’t want to be in spotlight. Oh and they are supposed to be getting married this summer. Wait… What?!
According to a member of BA who claims to be close to the situation, Kerry Rhodes is engaged (to a woman) and set to get married this summer.
The woman has yet to be named but is said to be a model who is “drama free” and prefers to “stay out of the lime light”. Another person who also claims to be close to the situation says that she is a “corporate chick from DC” that does not “live off of him” or “prefer to be a Baller’s wife”. Maybe Kerry’s unidentified fiance models and is a corporate chick at the same time. It is possible, I guess. The wedding is said to take place in June and according to one of these sources Kerry has dated this young woman fo

Black Thought – Combat Jack Show Interview; Speaks On Almost Beefing With Nas
First and foremost, I gotta say how great it is that Combat Jack has progressed his show to Complex TV. With that said, Black Thought appeared as a guest on the show to speak on a number of things, from The Roots (obviously), meeting ?uestlove for the first time and more. Below is an excerpt of a pretty big topic that was discussed…..the “almost” issue with none other than Nasir:
Nas got in some interview and he made a comment about how wack it was for us to do the movie, ‘Bamboozled,’ with Spike Lee, and how you gon’ call yourself The Roots and Black Thought and you’re portraying a group called The Alabama Porch Monkeys?
I hadn’t really interacted with him at all up until that point. And then there was a show one night with Talib Kweli, and I think Kweli invited Nas and he invited me, and we were all there in the building together. I had a chance to meet Nas, and he explained to me that it wasn’t coming from a personal place, and he basically apologized.
I was ready for whatever. Yeah, I was gonna take Nas that night. When I heard he was gonna be there, I was like, “Should I just slap the shit outta Nas?”… But before any of that, he defused it, on some real, bigger man shit.

Young Scooter & Gucci Mane Are Cellmates In Atlanta Jail
Both Gucci Mane and Young Scooter are currently being housed in the Georgia lock-up, but RapFix has learned that the two collaborators are actual cellmates.
Gucci was booked on April 12 on a probation violation. The arrest came right after he was indicted on aggravated assault charges and freed on a $75,000 bond, which came after a U.S. army soldier accused the rapper of hitting him the head with a champagne bottle. Young Scooter, Gucci’s Free Bricks 2 mixtape partner-in-rhyme, was booked on a few days earlier on April 8th and also charged with a probation violation. Now a source with connections to both artists tells us that the two rappers aren’t just in the same jail, but they are currently living in the same cell.
That cannot be a coincidence. In other news, Scooter was sentenced to 8 months today for a probation violation.
