Jay-Z Announces ‘Made In America’ Festival Going Down in Philly this Labor Day (Video)

Posted on by

Anything Jay-Z does is news these days. He called a press conference to announce he would be putting together a music festival in Philadelphia on Labor Day Weekend.

With Philly representer Freeway standing off to the side, Jay-Z made his announcement on the steps of the Art Museum. Our friends at Hot 107.9 Philly were on hand for Jay’s announcement and fans’ reactions. Blue Ivy’s poppa explained his goal with the festival is to push the culture forward with good music and good vibes. The show will be produced by LiveNation and boasts more than 28 acts. Jay-Z did proclaim about 70% of the acts are already onboard and excited for the festival.

Fans are appreciative of the festival and can’t wait to see who Jay-Z got to perform. Jay-Z plans on bringing artists from R&B, Hip-Hop, rock, Latin, and Dance. It’s sure to be lots of fun going down in Philly on September 1st and 2nd. The only question I have is being that LiveNation is producing it, how much are those tickets going to be. You know they are known for crazy expensive ticket prices.

Lil Boosie Acquitted on Murder Charges

Posted on by

Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie was acquitted of murder last week and as soon as he finishes his eight year prison sentence on unrelated drug charges he’s coming home.

Torence “Lil Boosie” Hatch, who pleaded guilty to setting up a drug smuggling ring inside Angola prison while awaiting his murder trial was found not guilty of hiring a hitman to kill his baby mama’s brother.

The entire case hinged on testimony from alleged hitman Michael ‘Marlo Mike’ Louding who originally claimed Boosie ordered the hit, but testified in court that his taped confession [which was lost and not played during the trial] was coerced by police officers who threatened to harm his family.

From USA Today

Following the verdict, more than 100 people celebrated in a small park in front of the courthouse, laughing, slapping hands and dancing around. When Hatch’s team of defense attorneys appeared, the crowd loudly chanted “Boosie, Boosie, Boosie.” When the attorneys began to descend the court house’s steps, some in the crowd shrieked and mobbed them, congratulating them on doing a good job.

Rihanna Admits Melt Down

Posted on by

Last November, amid a string of canceled concert dates, rumors spread that Rihanna was on the verge of a nervous break down.  Rihanna admits the rumors were true.  In a recent interview RiRi opened up about how hard it was touring and recording her new album ‘Talk that Talk’ at the same time.

Rihanna reveals,

”One morning I woke up and started crying so hard. I finally just got to my bed from the IV [drip] and I was just like, ‘Good I can actually get to sleep tonight’ because we stayed up all night’ and I finished [the album] at 5pm the day before.”

”I get in bed and it must have been two hours in before my phone started going off. I was so frustrated I kept ignoring the phone.”

”I know I’m sick but I’m the only person who can get it done so it was so frustrating so I was angry. I was so angry, I was so overwhelmed that I was sick, it felt crazy.”

”I started crying really, really hard in my pillow. It was aggressive. I don’t cry loads. If I cry it’s because I’m very angry and I can’t do anything about it, because I’ve run into a dead end. But this time I needed to hear it, I almost wanted to punch somebody.”

Justice was Served!!! A Statement from the Hudson Family

Posted on by

Jennifer Hudson releases a statement regarding the guilty verdict of William Balfour.

“We have many people to thank but our first thank you is to God, always. We are so grateful to prosecutors James McKay, Jennifer Bagby and Veryl Gambino and State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez and her team for their dedication and tireless work from the beginning.”

“We have the best police department and they have been with us every step of the way. We thank all of the State’s witnesses who came forward on our behalf.”

“We have felt the love and support from people all over the world and we’re very grateful. We want to extend a prayer from the Hudson family to the Balfour family.”

“We have all suffered terrible loss in this tragedy. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn upon them (2 Corinthian 4:3-4). It is our prayer that the Lord will forgive Mr. Balfour of these heinous acts and bring his heart into repentance someday.”

This Ish Kray!! Family Member Tries to Extort Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder’s nephew tried to extort him over incest claims.  SMH…

From TMZ

A man claiming to be Stevie Wonder’s nephew has been charged with attempting to extort the singer by threatening to go to the tabloids and say he’s the product of an incestuous relationship between Stevie and Stevie’s sister — UNLESS the singer coughed up big bucks.

Alpha Lorenzo Walker was arrested May 2 after being trapped in a sting operation.

Law enforcement sources tell us Walker initially demanded $5 million from Stevie but was shut down and eventually lowered his demand to $10,000.

Our sources say undercover cops met Walker, claiming to be Stevie’s reps who had the cash, but demanded that he first sign a document which included a statement that his accusations were false. Walker signed, and he was promptly arrested. Our sources say the incest allegation is completely bogus.

Walker has been charged with felony extortion, along with his girlfriend. He has pled not guilty.

Walker is currently in custody.

Tell Em’ Why You Mad Russ!! Russell Simmons Defends Rihanna

Posted on by

In an eloquent piece entitled, ‘Get Off Rihanna’s Dick’, Russell Simmons explains why Rihanna should be able to screw who ever she wants without it ending up on a rap record.

Russell writes

There have been a lot of artists recently talking about “good girl gone bad,” Rihanna.

As far as I’m concerned, I don’t see why everyone has their panties up in a bunch. It’s just that she is out there allegedly fuckin’ the rockstars of her dreams and you out there fuckin’ groupies.

You can’t be mad that she was seen walking out of Ashton Kutcher’s house late one night, cause you know if you were seen walking out of Adriana Lima’s house late one night, you would be in the studio the next day rapping about it. I mean, you all got like 50 girls in your videos drooling over you and you dissing Rihanna?

I can’t blame a girl for being independent, having fun and living her life the way she wants to. I am certainly not condoning indiscriminate sex, but don’t get mad cause the girl won’t give it to you anymore.

Remember, I was a manager once and I have seen these types of young men on the road. I was with Run-DMC, the Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Whoodini and saw all of the girls after the show line up outside the dressing rooms. I mean, Whoodini even wrote a song about, “I Am A Hoe” and went on to rap, “I rock three different girls after every show.” So, I know how this shit works. You all got 10 times as many girls as Rihanna has men, and you know that.

I love you guys, and this certainly ain’t a diss, but I gotta keep it real.Em’

Chris Brown Disses Rihanna on So Cold Remix

Posted on by

Welp. It’s officially over between Chris Brown and Rihanna. Last night Chris Brown dropped a remix on Kanye West’s Threaflu aka So Cold shading the shit out of Rihanna.

On the remix for So Cold, where Kanye West famously professes his love for Kim Kardashian while still pinning for Amber Rose, Chris Brown spits,

“Don’t f*ck with my old bitch it’s like a bad fur/Every industry n*gga done had her/Shook the tree like a pumpkin just to smash her…”

Rihanna was not amused. She later unfollowed Chris on Twitter.

Then Chris tweeted:
