T.I. RELEASES STATEMENT!!!

Read T.I’s Open Letter Below:

“This experience is truly a pain I have never felt before and that’s saying a lot for a n*gga who’s been down locked up as many times as I have. I see this as a real ass whoopin’. The kind you don’t just go back outside to play afterwards. You take ya ass to bed and don’t come out of your room until it’s time to go to school.

I don’ t know what effect this will have on my life moving forward but I’m certainly sick and mother f*cking tired of going to jail, juve, prison, the pen, correctional facilities or whatever else you want to call it. I’d have been better off doing a 5-10 year bid one time than going in time and time again for days, weeks and months for the last 15 years of my life.

Even though it’s been a long road, I’m still standing, barely but nevertheless still standing. At one time I thought my motivation for continuing was for my fans, my partna Philant, my pops, my grandmama, even for the haters or the people I let down. But nah… I got to do this shit for me!!! I’ll be God damned if I’ve come all this way and made it through so much hell to let it go down like this! F*ck that! If an hour in the dark is worth a second in the sun then pass me my mother f*ckin’ shades cause I’m ready to cash my darkest hours in…ASAP!!!

A lot of folks had fathers or father figures in the house to raise them into manhood. I’m not trying to make any excuses for my situation but my father was a hustler that lived in New York. My uncle was a local big time dope boy turned 10 year federal inmate.

My mother and grandparents did the best they could but I found my manhood in the trap and in prison systems. But I found it. And nan one of mine will ever have to feel the cold tight grip of a handcuff or grace the presence of a jail cell if I can help it.

Over my dead body!

So if you can’t respect that you ain’t rocking with my movement then Fuck you dog! I know a bunch of mother f*ckers who are…..

– Love KING”


Keri Hilson Speaks on Ciara Beef in New Magazine Article!

Miss Keri Baby is the cover subject of the latest issue of “Jones Magazine”, an urban fashion guide. In her exclusive cover story, which hits news stands on November 30th, she opens up about the feud between her and Ciara.

On beef with Ciara

“It was unfortunate, because we used to be really good friends. We let the media get in the way and speak for us, and we weren’t speaking to each other.”

On where their friendship stands now
“We’re good now. Nobody wants to fight with an old friend. It’s not cute, and it doesn’t reflect our character. Don’t get me wrong: I am feisty, but I’m not catty.”

Kanye West Media Trainer Quits??!

Kanye West Media Trainer Quits After Disastrous ‘Today’ Interview

According to The New York Post, Kanye West‘s media trainer Susie Arons has quit after only three days on the job following his interview on the “Today”  show with Matt Lauer.

As previously reported, Lauer seemed to have went on a personal  attack and proceeded to be former President George W. Bush’s bodyguard in the interview.

According to The Post, Kanye’s camp  hired Susie Arons on Monday, an executive vice president at Rubenstein Communications, for help handling the interview. Collectively, they agreed West should cancel the interview, and it was called off Monday night.

But on Tuesday morning, Arons was notified that West was waiting at NBC’s Rockefeller Center studio for the Lauer chat, and she rushed over at West’s request.

According to a show insider, “West shut himself in a dressing room with Susie, and could be heard rehearsing possible questions and answers. But the interview began, and it was as though he had crammed for a test and then his mind went blank.”

As seen around the world, Ye became frustrated around the questions which were obviously brought up to promote the former President’s  new book which he seems to have lifted from pages of previous published books by his subordinates according to The Huffington Post… Go figure.

The NY Post also reports that when  Lauer and West took a break, West “huddled again with the media trainer because he still hadn’t found a way to express himself,” said our source. The disastrous interview aired Thursday, and Arons resigned from working with him yesterday morning.

Despite the media sabotage and backlash, Kanye’s new album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” drops November 22nd and is already being heralded as a classic.

Tell em' Why You Mad Son: Diddy Upset that Jay Electronica signed with Roc Nation?

 

Diddy  is reportedly upset that his friend Jay Electronica signed with Jay-Z at Roc Nation.

While a number of people were ecstatic that Jay Electronica made a pivotal move in his career and signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation record label Friday, Diddy was reportedly upset and aired out his grievances with the rapper over Twitter.

The Bad Boy Records head took to his Twitter page to speak on the betrayal he felt from a “good friend” coincidentally soon after news of Jay’s signing took place.

He writes,

Jay Elect and Diddy were known to have a close relationship, with Jay mentioning Diddy in a number of his raps and the pair collaborating on his track “The Ghost Of Christopher Wallace.”

Adding to the all-too obvious drama between the mogul and the rapper was the mother of the New Orleans rapper’s baby, Erykah Badu, who tweeted to Diddy, “I’m sorry.”

Jay and Jay Electronica have yet to comment.

His signing adds him to a roster that already includes J.Cole, Willow Smith as well as Rihanna and Wale who are both managed by the record label.
