Madame Noire reports:

While we weren’t there and can’t say for sure what really went down, we can say that both Pebbles and L.A. seem to agree that TLC contributed to their marriage’s demise.

“TLC wanted Pebbitone out of their lives and the only way they could get out was to file bankruptcy,” L.A. expressed during a past interview with New York Magazine.

He went on to refer to his wife’s drama with TLC as “one of the breaking points in my marriage.” Apparently his ex-wife shares in those sentiments because she, too, blames issues surrounding TLC for ruining her family. When asked by radio host Frank Ski whether or not she regretted bringing TLC to LaFace Records, Pebbles responded:

“I would not sign them to LaFace because what happened there, in my opinion, was horrific because you tore my family up with this. This tore my family up. Now my G-code kept me quiet, but it was a whole bunch of dirtiness.”

And of course, she continued to defend herself against allegations that she robbed TLC

“How do you take somebody’s money? Even if you think I’m a crook, I don’t have the money bag. Do you really think out of BMG, Arista, CLive Davis…Pebbles has the money bag? We’re at the bottom. Money flows from the top,”she said.

SOHH reports:

JoJo Simmons is being outed by a woman who claims the reality star pulled a fast one on her. Aspiring TV personality Kerry Schwartz took to her Facebook page on Friday to expose Rev. Run’s son. Schwartz claims the two were set to work together on something until nasty enough happened for the gal to call Simmons an “unprofessional piece of crap.” Kerry claims JoJo reached out to her personal page asking her to be a part of his team, but under one condition: She must perform sexual favors in exchange for work. You can view the entire post below. However, RumorFix reached out to a rep for JoJo who tells us, the “JoJo” that reached out to Kerry is only a fake. The rep reveals, It’s not him. It’s a fake Facebook page pretending to be him. RumorFix has learned that when Kerry found out she had been duped, she took down the post. (RumorFix)

A screenshot from Schwartz’s Facebook page shows JoJo getting slammed with nasty accusations.

“My apologies to the rest of the famous ‘Simmons’ family…but Rev Run..your son JoJo, is the most unprofessional piece of crap I have ever dealt with. JoJo Simmons reached out to ME on my page, then went on to tell me how talented I am over the past two weeks. Today he told me and his team were researching my work and that they’ve all agreed to sign me on to their team! They’d like to invest money into me and start working w me asap. GREAT news right?? UNTIL he went on to say, before we do this, I need you to prove you are trustworthy, loyal and be a ‘freak.’ Freak??? I asked him to elaborate what he meant by freak.” (Kerry Schwartz’s Facebook)

Danny Brown – Sweeney Song

November 22, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff Music No Comments  

danny

This is apparently a throwback…

“Danny was my longshot for this project. By the time I got moving on this he’d already signed with Fool’s Gold and was about to drop XXX, which would establish him as one of the fiercest MC’s out. I emailed and DM’d to no avail. One day I decided to try something really crazy and picked up the phone and called him. The stars were aligned and a rapper actually answered his phone. In all of two minutes he agreed to cut a track. I emailed him a .zip of beats I’d culled from the homies and about a week later I got a sendspace link entitled “SWEENY SONG.” He had taken a Mndsgn beat and absolutely ripped it to shreds. It’s been so long since he cut it that it now sounds like vintage Danny to me, which of course I love. I fixed the typo in the title and ran with it.”

LMAO: Footage Of Scotland Police Dealing With Cheeky Driver Goes Viral

November 22, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff LMAO! No Comments  

From the Mirror:

TWO policemen who keep their cool and have a laugh with a cheeky motorist who refuses to give his details have become an internet hit.

The officers pulled over a van driver suspected of using his mobile phone at the wheel.

The YouTube video, which has been viewed 73,000 times, shows 20 minutes of banter which wouldn’t be out of place in a Chewin’ the Fat sketch.

The driver, who will only tell the officers he is “John, son of David”, repeatedly denies the road traffic charge.

The man claims he was going to get a banana and said: “I’m not driving today, at this point in time I am simply travelling.”

Even when he is threatened with arrest for obstruction, “John” refuses to give his date of birth because he “can’t remember coming out my mother’s water”.

At the start of the clip, the driver is asked if his name used to be John Burns.

He replies: “I probably used to be when I was born but I didn’t consent to it because I was only wee.”

One officer tells him: “I’m asking you for your name and date of birth so I can check if you have a valid driving licence.”

The driver says: “The birth certificate is Crown Copyright and I cannot use that. You’re asking me to commit fraud.”

Showing the patience of a saint, one policeman, referring to the driver’s giggling girlfriend, asks: “See this lady here, does she ever buy you a card once a year?

“And if so, when does that happen?”

After getting a date of birth and address,, one of the officers tells the driver that he will dedicate a chapter to him in his book.

Asked by the man if he enjoys his job, the policeman quips: “I used to enjoy it – up until about 20 minutes ago.”

He then says to the driver: “You better not be putting this up on YouTube.”

When told it would be going online, the PC has a laugh saying he’s “Tam, son of wee Bobby fae the Calton”.

He stresses that it’s “wee Bobby” because “big Bobby is in the same street and you dinnae want to confuse the two of them”.

A police spokesman said: “A 44-year-old man is subject of a report to the procurator fiscal in connection with an alleged road traffic offence on November 6.”

November 22, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff Interviews No Comments  

From TMZ:

T.I. arrived at LAX moments ago with an adorable wittle bitty puppy dog in his hand … seriously, this thing is frickin’ cute.

And when we asked why such a tough guy was cruisin’ around with such a teeny tiny pet — he explained that he promised his kids a puppy if they got good grades in school.

The kids came through … so dad kept his word.

We also asked T.I. about the mega-party he attended at Justin Bieber’s house the other day — but the rapper made it clear, his lips are sealed.

Maybe Justin’s bribing HIM with a puppy …

Some ‘Friend’ Apparently Stole DMX’s Car

November 22, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments

From TMZ:

For now, DMX won’t have to worry about getting popped for any driving offenses in his 1978 Buick Regal … because his so-called friend allegedly stole it right out from under him … according to a police report obtained by TMZ.

DMX and his girlfriend — Desiree Lindstrom — told cops they gave the car and a duplicate title to a friend … who was going to sell it for them. But the friend vanished into thin air some time earlier this month and never returned.

What’s more, according to the report, the friend changed his phone number … and DMX doesn’t know the guy’s last name … he only knows him as Lonny. Apparently DMX uses the term “friend” lightly.

Cops are on the lookout for the car … but their first investigative task is to find out Lonny’s last name.
