A Pennsylvania school temporarily locked down last week….reports say that when a student’s Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ringtone went off, a school staff took it as a threat and called 911 when she mistook the lyric “shooting some b-ball” for “shooting some people”. SMH…that lady needs to clear out her ears and watch a little TV. Everybody knows that song.
Update: It’s looking to be true. Damn. R.I.P.
I’m going to find this one hard to believe until I see some additional confirmation, but this was spotted on Dirty Glove Bastard:
Reports on twitter are that former No Limit Records artist Mr. Magic and his wife died in a car accident last night in Mississippi. Magic was always one of my favorite rappers on the NL roster and his second album Thuggin remains one of the few CDs that I actually bought three separate times in my life. Our condolences go out to his family. R.I.P.
In the latest episode of the Azealia’s/Azalea’s:
Iggy released a song called ‘D.R.U.G.S.‘ some time ago, and in the song she had a lyric where she called herself a “runaway slave….master”. Azealia Banks had since spoke on the matter in true Azealia Banks form, saying that she “seriously trivialised aspects of black culture” with said lyric. Now, in a recent interview in some magazine called Shut Your Pretty Mouth, she responded directly:
“She says that **** about ****ing anything. She called Perez Hilton a ******, I think she trivialised gay culture… ****ing whatever. She’s biased about everybody and everything, even towards the people who help her. She even talked **** about the fashion industry after they basically gave her a career. I don’t think anything about that girl man, she ****ing talks **** out of her arse and that’s her business.”
Of course, it doesn’t take long for Azealia Banks to respond, either:
Can these two stop and put out a complete project already (not counting mixtapes or EPs)?
Reports Detroit News:
Federal court records shed light on a minor celebrity scandal that broke earlier this week when a popular Web site claimed Deelishis was assaulted by a pack of angry strippers.
Deelishis, real name Chandra London Davis, denied the report. The 35-year-old Farmington Hills resident, known for her ample derriere, posted a message on the social-media site Instagram, saying she tripped on icy stairs while wearing expensive designer shoes.
“I am fine & will be even better in a few days!” she wrote.
Court records offer a darker explanation.
Deelishis was injured jumping out of a second story window Sunday in Farmington Hills after allegedly being assaulted by her estranged husband, Franklin resident Orlando Gordon, according to federal court records.
Gordon was free on bond and awaiting trial in federal court at the time of the incident.
He was indicted in January 2012 along with more than a dozen others and accused of participating in a drug-trafficking operation involving thousands of pounds of blow and kush.
Prosecutors asked a federal judge Thursday to revoke Gordon’s bond due, in part, to the alleged assault.
“Gordon has engaged in criminal conduct that endangers the community — from driving while intoxicated to assault and home invasion,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Cares wrote in a court filing. “These criminal acts show that no set of conditions can reasonably assure the safety of the community and Gordon’s bond should be revoked.”
U.S. District Judge Sean Cox will consider the request March 12.
Court records and a police report portray a violent incident Sunday at the reality-show star’s home on Muer Cove north of 13 Mile, where Deelishis lives with her two daughters.
At 4:20 a.m., Gordon smashed through the front door and struck Deelishis in the face, according to court records.
Deelishis, who had been sleeping in her daughter’s bedroom, ran to her master bedroom, where her friend was asleep.
The friend?
Michael Blackson, a popular stand-up comic known as The African King of Comedy.
He performed Saturday at the Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts in Detroit.
Gordon allegedly chased the comic and hit him in the face, according to court records.
Deelishis, meanwhile, locked the bedroom door.
Her estranged husband tried to get into the bedroom, prompting Deelishis to rip open the window screen and jump two stories to the ground, according to police.
She later fled to a neighbor’s home and Gordon left his estranged wife’s house, according to police.
“Davis was in a lot of pain from her right wrist,” according to the police report. “Davis also had blood on her right hand.”
She was taken to Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital.
Gordon is scheduled to stand trial April 9.
He is accused of heading a large-scale drug ring with a second man, Wendell Tobias of Detroit.
During a prolonged investigation, federal drug agents have seized more than $1 million cash, classic cars and more than $130,000 in jewelry – including Deelishis’ engagement ring and Rolex watch.
A few hours after a drive-by shooting left a fan dead and two wounded in Philadelphia, French Montana released a statement regarding the incident below:
“My bus was located in the vicinity of the incident that took place away from the venue, last night in Philadelphia. I had a peaceful concert and was not involved. My deepest thoughts and sympathies go out to the families of the victims, as well as all of those who were affected.”
Misha B decided to tease her fans (like myself) with a quick and very sexy still from her forthcoming visual to her latest single.
Reports Global Grind:
According to NBC News, two people were injured and one died in the drive-by shooting. Police say the shooters opened fire at French’s tour bus as he and his entourage checked into a local hotel.
Authorities confirmed that three people are currently in custody.
Last night the rapper posted a picture of a police officer questioning him on Instagram with the caption: “nobody got time for this shit.”
The photo was taken at 12:21 a.m. He hasn’t tweeted since that last post. This story is developing.
And now…pics from the scene courtesy of ABC News:

It appears that French Montana & Co. (Meek Mill was reportedly also present) was hanging out at a Holiday Inn at Penn’s Landing in Philly following a show when someone drove up to his tour bus and opened fire. One 27-year-old man was shot in the stomach (he was pronounced dead after being rushed to Hahnemann University hospital) and another individual was hit in the shoulder (and is currently at Jefferson University Hospital in stable condition).
From NBC Philadelphia:
“It’s just ignorant. You fire into a crowd and you’re gonna hit somebody. In this case, unfortunately, someone was killed. Don’t know if they had anything to do with anything, if they were a fan or what,” said Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey.
Twenty-five people, including French Montana, his entourage and fans are being questioned by police. Three people were taken into custody for carrying guns. Investigators say that someone iinside the bus returned fired after the intial shots rang out.
So far, there are no suspects in the deadly shooting.
Rihanna was recently featured in the latest edition of Elle UK….and I can I day is this: if Chris Brown messes this up again, he’ll be regretting his mistake until his final days.
Meek Mill was nice enough to let loose his tracklisting through his Instagram, showing features including Future, Waka Flocka, Jadakiss, Trina and more.
Since Hov doesn’t tweet he since over something for the fans to YN from Rap Radar that he didnt get a chance to say at the show last night.
Last night I performed at the University of Arizona, I had a ball!! Through all the excitement and joking around (as well as the technical difficulties) I missed out on the opportunity to say something important..
On the show as well were Third Eye Blind and Kelly Clarkson.. I thought that to be the oddest pairing EVER but, soon realized, it’s what I’ve always professed..There is NO such thing as BLACK music or WHITE music only GOOD or BAD music..It’s stupid cool to like things that are not like you, and that goes for outside of music.. If you’re an African American you can have a jewish friend. Wait, does Lyor having some Israeli mixed with his jewish count? (Sure they are paranoid but, so are black people after they’ve smoked weed, haaaaa, and plus the JEW fro and the BLUEprint fro are the SAME thing.)
I think concerts like this should happen more often. ( Outside of the one or 2 festivals a year or “Zootopia”) I’m putting that into the universe..next up Taylor Swift and Uncle Murda!!
Sorry I don’t “Tweet” (do I?) so this will have to do..
Love.
Shy Glizzy will be featured in the new issue of Fader Magazine. Make sure you pick this issue up.
We posted a sneak peek of the cover before (no need to backlink), but now we get to see the full spread for L’Officiel Hommes Paris‘ Spring 2013 cover. Check ’em out below.

From Channel 4 Detroit:
A member of the gospel music Winans family has been sentenced to nearly 14 years in prison for an $8 million financial scam.
Two of Michael Winans Jr.’s victims spoke in Detroit federal court Wednesday, saying the scheme devastated families.
Attorney Hammoud had asked for a sentence within the guidelines, which range from 12 1/2 years to 15 1/2 years in prison.
Winans sold oil bonds to more than 1,000 investors in 2007 and 2008.
He promised 100 percent returns in two months then used the money for personal expenses or to pay off earlier investors. About 600 people are still owed nearly $5 million.
Winans eventually learned the bonds were phony but didn’t tell investors and kept collecting money.
It should also be noted that other Winans family members were supposedly involved in the scheme as well.
Odd Future managed to tag team Donald Trump (pause) while backstage for Jimmy Fallon’s show.
…..Guy in front asked for picture- said he was the biggest fan, never saw the guy in back.

Stone Temple Pilots released a pretty to-the-point statement today:
“Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland.”
The rumors have been there but I’m still pretty surprised at how that carried it, being that Scott Weiland is pretty much the band (let’s not kid ourselves).
Anyways, Scott Weiland has responded to the news. From MTV:
“I learned of my supposed ‘termination’ from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press,” Weiland said in a statement. “Not sure how I can be ‘terminated’ from a band that I founded, fronted and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that’s something for the lawyers to figure out. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to seeing all of my fans on my solo tour which starts this Friday.”
And there you have it. If you want to see Scott, well…..he’s touring solo.
Man….dude just dropped Trap God 2; tomorrow, he’s dropping Free Bricks 2 with Young Scooter and Trap House 3 is coming in July. The above mixtape drops March 15th. Needless to say, Gucci is trying to break records out here.
The full press release is below, but it appears that Diddy (and Mark Wahlberg) basically pulled a 50 Cent and has invested into the brand AQUAhydrate as well as added his touch to the company’s marketing. Plenty more reading below.
LOS ANGELES (February 27, 2013) – Entertainment powerhouse Sean “Diddy” Combs and actor/producer Mark Wahlberg today announced a joint venture with Southern California-based fitness and wellness water brand, AQUAhydrate. Per the arrangement, Combs and Wahlberg will oversee business strategy along with CEO John Cochran, formerly President of Fiji Water. Together they will help drive the AQUAhydrate vision and be instrumental in helping secure retail partnerships for the water brand, such as their recently signed deals with Safeway, Kroger and GNC.
Already voted BevNET’s Best of 2012 award for Best Product Revamp, AQUAhydrate is a high performance water without the sugar and calories found in traditional sports drinks or vitamin enhanced beverages. The product’s combination of performance-grade electrolytes and a higher pH level of 9+ has caught the attention of elite athletes, active health-conscious consumers, and celebrities looking to perform at the top of their game, in every aspect of their life. In addition to the brand’s existing athlete roster, AQUAhydrate recently inked an official partnership with the Los Angeles Clippers wherein the product will be distributed to the team on and off the court.
“This is a truly innovative company, and I’m thrilled to be part of it,” says Wahlberg. “We all strive to do the best we can for our bodies but sometimes schedules, stress and other factors get in the way. AQUAhydrate helps me achieve the balance my body needs, no matter what. I enjoy being involved in every aspect of the AQUAhydrate brand and I’m looking forward to a very successful partnership.”
“As a brand architect, I am incredibly passionate and equally committed to every aspect of the businesses that I get involved with,” says Combs. “Partnering with AQUAhydrate and Mark is an incredible opportunity for me and I am looking forward to making history in the process. It’s important for me to be part of something that drives me and is constantly pushing the boundaries, and that’s what AQUAhydrate does. Together, we’re going to take AQUAhydrate to the next level.”
AQUAhydrate is set to have a banner year in 2013. Having secured thousands of points of distribution across the US within the last six months, the brand has big marketing plans to establish AQUAhydrate as a household name and become a torchbearer of innovation and health and wellness in the beverage category. Further to that, with Combs and Wahlberg understanding the value and brand impact of having an engaged social audience, AQUAhydrate will take its message viral and offer consumers exclusive content and fan-based promotions that underscore the values of the brand.
Earlier we posted Pitbull’s diss record to Lil’ Wayne over the ‘Harlem Shake’ instrumental……Weezy just since taken to Twitter to speak on the matter. Pitbull has already responded through Twitter as well:
More Project Pat goodness, with what looks like nothing more than a quick camera phone visual.
Gunplay gets a break and he’s happy to tell the world all about it (below)…taken from an interview with NBC in South Florida.
I feel humbled. I feel blessed. I feel like I hit the lotto. I’m just happy to be back with my friends and family. I just wanted to publicly for the record apologize to the two parties involved, my family, the victim’s family. Shout out to the boss – you already know the Miami mayor, man, was behind me the whole time. And I ain’t going to blow it. I’m ready to work. I’m real focused.
Wale was in NYC to shoot the visual for his latest single alongside BOA cohort Tiara Thomas, and you can check out some pics below.
Bobby needs to lay off the bottle, apparently. From TMZ:
Brown was arrested in October after cops pulled the singer over for driving erratically, and smelled alcohol in his ride.
Bobby was charged with DUI and driving on a suspended license following the incident. (Brown’s license had been suspended as a result of his previous DUI conviction in 2012. Bobby was also convicted of DUI in 1996.)
Bobby pled no contest to the charges today. He was sentenced to the jail time, plus 4 years probation. He was also ordered to complete an 18-month alcohol program. This is Bobby’s third DUI conviction.
Bobby has to turn himself in to jail by March 20 — and has been ordered to attend 3 AA meetings per week until then.
