Tweet Of The Day: 50 Cent Puts His Heart On His Sleeve For Iovine

I put a lot in to this project but I don’t care if it ever comes out. Jimmy iovine has been like a mentor for me. I just want to stay friends.
I gotta say, this was a pretty weighted Tweet in my eyes……as much sensitivity and compassion (or whatever) he’s been showing in recent times (including his apparent depression), this is probably him at his truest and most honest.
Even assholes have to humble themselves one day….

Nas’ Kidnapped Promoter Is Still Unable To Leave Angola


This has to be the WORST nightmare for a promoter, ever. From TMZ:

Nas’ concert promoter who was kidnapped at gunpoint in Angola is still stuck in the country — caught in a legal stalemate between Nas and the guy who allegedly kidnapped him .. and it’s getting worse by the day.

TMZ broke the story … Patrick Allocco — a U.S. concert promoter who booked an Angolan New Year’s Eve show starring Nas — was kidnapped after the Angolan concert promoter sent Allocco a $300,000 advance for Nas and the rapper ended up being a no-show.

We’ve learned Allocco — who was released from custody but is still prohibited from leaving the country — sent Nas the $300k, but now the Angola promoter wants not only the $300,000 back, but an additional $50,000 in expenses.

Here’s the deadlock. Nas is willing to send $300,000, but not the addition $50 grand. In addition, before Nas sends ANY money, he wants a letter from both Allocco and the Angolan concert promoter — releasing him from any liability.

So there’s a stalemate. And Allocco is stuck in a foreign land.

Amber Rose Releases Artwork To First Single

The track drops this Tuesday. We can’t wait…
“I’m so excited to release my first song… It’s CRAZY! Working with Wiz is a dream come true; I am fortunate to have his support.

This is a very personal song to me that I wanted to record for my fans. I want people to see the world from my eyes, you know, from BEHIND MY SHADES! It’s my interpretation of what it means to be ‘FAMOUS,’ which is not something superficial but instead being self-confident and happy with who you are.

You can feel famous everyday if you believe in yourself!”

Brandy & Monica Is Recording Another Duet

Remember ‘The Boy Is Mine‘? Could a fresh duet make the same impact? From Necole Bitchie:
Both singers are working on new albums and both flew to Miami yesterday morning to work with ‘Mr. Turn The Lights On’, super producer Rico Love. During the recording session, Monica sent out a tweet that was a clear indication that the two are cooking up something hot, 14 years after their classic single ‘The Boy Is Mine’ dropped.

Monica tweeted:

We have Both Been Blessed Beyond Measure..14years later.. #TURNTHELIGHTSON ❤Love @4everBrandy

Rico Love also tweeted:

“Today is an epic day for music…Stay Tuned”
My dreams come true on a daily basis… God is the greatest!! @monicabrown @4everbrandy

Quote Of The Day: 50 Says He Has Pepsi Distribution For SK; Pepsi Says Otherwise


I can definitely state, that 50 Cent does not have any deal whatsoever with regards to his new energy drink with either PepsiCo or Pepsi Beverages Company. He might very well have a deal with Honickman but we cannot comment on that situation because we don’t have any knowledge with regards to it. But as far as our company is concerned, the statements that are being reported are completely false!”

Well….I guess we’ll see when 50 responds….

DMX Attacked On Stage…..Sort Of

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player

I’m not really sure if I’d call this an attack…as DMX was starting to perform ‘One More Road To Cross’ off of …And Then There Was X, some guy jumps up on stage and attempts to put his arm around him. Who knows if he was trying to choke him or hug him…..doesn’t really matter though, he was yanked before he could do anything, anyway. And the show goes on.

Lil’ Wayne At King Of Diamonds Boxing Match; Awards Winning Stripper $1,000

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player

I think we saw this on some Rick Ross footage before, but there’s something about watching strippers do anything but strip that doesn’t quite make any sense to me…from TMZ:

Lil Wayne has seen so many strippers, he’s now tired of watching them strip — so last Monday, he watched them beat the crap out of each other instead … and then dropped a $1,000 tip on the lucky winner.

Weezy hit up the famous King of Diamonds in Miami for its special fight night — sitting above the ring like strip club royalty … you gotta see the clip.

The chick in the purple trunks is the clear winner — pinning the other stripper against the ropes with some nasty one-twos — and moments later, Wayne rewarded her with a giant stack of singles … amounting to $1,000.

Several sources inside the club tell TMZ, Wayne spent three hours at KOD that night … and dropped around $30,000 over the course of the evening.

50 Cent Is Depressed; Reportedly He’s Also Still Very Rich

Whatever. Full tweets below.
I have lost all the faith in the team I’m on. I having nothing left to say I will not be promoting my music.

I’m going to deliver this album then I have a film I wrote to focus on I’m not upset I’m just convinced this is not how I want to remembered.

Ill be honest I don’t think I’m gonna live much longer. That’s why I started my street king movement. I want to mean more in other peoples lives.

This morning I was look[ing] out the window. I saw a bird fly right on to [the] ledge. It felt like he was looking right at me. I hit the window

He Just looked at me like he new I couldn’t do anything threw the glass. I was tripping he sat there a minute then flew off. I’d like to a bird

So I could fly and sh*t on the world. then you all could say 50 sh*t on me. That’s luck right ? Then don’t wipe the sh*t off.

When one of 50′s followers suggested that he may be suicidal, he responded:

To be conscious that life is short is not suicidal. I’m good if I die tonight Iv taken care of the people who took care of me when I couldn’t take care my self

Man, if this is what being rich does to you, I’m good!
