Chris Brown Lashes Out At Kehlani
Chris Brown has some choice words for Kehlani following her "fake" suicide attempt.
It’s been a rough couple days for Kehlani to say the least. The Bay Area singer is currently recovering at her home after being hospitalized last night for an apparent suicide attempt to end her life. It all started following Monday’s drama when OVO affiliate PartyNextDoor posted a picture on Instagram with Kehlani in his bed, sparking up rumors of why her & Kyrie split.
While an apparent suicide is never anything to joke about, one particular artist, named Chris Brown, thought the who ordeal was a publicity stunt. Taking to Twitter Tuesday night, Breezy decided to voice his opinion on the whole situation, and he didn’t hold back.
"Girls be mad at a nigga for fucking around wit bitches but her DMs got more names then the Declaration of Independence. #YEAHIMTHROWINGSHADE," he began. He then went onto say "they look like they have stank sex," before implying that she was only doing this for attention. "There is no attempting suicide. Stop flexing for the gram. Doing shit for sympathy so them comments under your pics don't look so bad," he wrote. He ended things by saying she would have to watch Kyrie's games from the TV now instead of box seats.
For what it’s worth, Chris is good friends with Kyrie and we all know his past relationship with the OVO camp, so this random-ass rant could be more about Chris' loyalty than actually Kehlani. Because let’s be real, there’s no reason for him to step in and comment on Kehlani’s issues if it weren’t for the guys who are involved.

Yung Lean Concert Cancelled Due To Bomb Threat
Swedish rapper Yung Lean was unable to perform in Minneapolis tonight due to a bomb threat.
A Yung Lean concert in Minneapolis was cancelled tonight due to a bomb threat made via social media. The security at the venue, Fine Line Music Cafe, began evacuating the club at around 6:30pm, shortly after ticket holders had begun to file in. Yung Lean was backstage at the time, and he was immediately moved to his tourbus. Police then secured streets in proximity of the venue until about 8pm, when it was confirmed that nothing dangerous was found near the scene.
Yung Lean updated his fans after he was taken to his tourbus and told them he was unsure why the club had been evacuated. Though no evidence of any foul play was discovered, the show was still cancelled by the staff at Fine Line Music Cafe. Yung Lean confirmed the cancellation by writing, "i wanted to play the show but due to the circumstances it won't work."
Katt Williams Explains Why He Fought That 17 Year Old
Katt Williams made headlines again last week when video of him sucker punching a 17 year old and then subsequently getting choked out by that 17 year old went viral on social media. Over the weekend, the 42 year old comedian explained the incident during a set at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
According Williams, trouble started during a soccer game the two were participating in. Katt claims that the kid (who he thought was over 18, due to the fact that he was smoking a cigarette) was “talking shit all game,” which Katt didn’t mind, until Katt started getting suspicious. He then went around the corner of the building with the teen, asking about the kid’s parents and family. The kid continued to get in Williams’ face and no one stepped between the two, and Katt explains at that point, he decided he would have to teach the kid a lesson.
In his own words: “I say to myself let me stand up and let this nigga see that even though we’re the same size, you’re a little boy. I’m a grown ass man. I can hit you with this broken fist and get blood, I just want you to have a bloody mouth so that you can have that lesson later. That’s what happens when you say slick shit to grown ass men because maybe them niggas can’t teach you that, but a nigga that can hit you can is also a nigga that can pull out a gun and blow your motherfucking brains out. Why would you put yourself in that position just because you lost a soccer game?”
While that’s probably a good lesson for the kid to learn, it didn’t have to come from Katt Williams, who lives in general vicinity of the neighborhood in which the video was taken. While the comedian makes the light of the situation, TMZ has reported that Williams’ family is concerned about him and has been trying to get him hospitalized for years. However, Williams thinks his family is just after his money.
Kanye West's "Famous" Is Now Available On Apple Music & Spotify
Stream Kanye West's single "Famous" to your heart's content.
When The Life of Pablo released, Kanye West declared that the album would “never be for sale” on sites like Apple’s iTunes, instead forcing anyone who wants to listen to the album to sign up for Tidal. Kanye has remained true to that declaration, updating the existing album on Tidal with new versions of a few tracks, until today. Twitter account TeamKanyeDaily posted a tweet showing that the album’s new single “Famous,” is available to stream on Apple Music and Spotify. For reference, "Famous" is the track containing the controversial Taylor Swift line.
Now, this makes sense for Def Jam, a label that has so far allowed its streaming revenue to be severely undercut while Kanye puts on for Tidal. The lead single will finally reach the ears of people who weren’t among the hundreds of thousands to download the album on The Pirate Bay, and Kanye gets to more or less keep his original declaration intact. We’ll have to wait and see if more songs get the single treatment and become widely available for streaming.
What this means is that ‘Ye will definitely not be making any other changes to “Famous,” as he did for “Wolves” and other songs on the album. Stream "Famous" on Spotify and Apple Music now.

Metro Boomin Releases "If Young Metro Don't Trust You..." Merch
Make sure Young Metro trusts everyone around you.
Metro Boomin’s DJ tag turned meme “if young Metro don’t trust you I’m gon’ shoot you” has quickly become a ubiquitous part of the internet Zeitgeist. People have asked presidential candidates about it, and Ben Affleck used the meme to promote his new movie “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Young Metro is too savvy of a businessman to let an opportunity like this pass, so he’s created a few t-shirts based around the popular meme.
One shirt flips the well-known “Uncle Sam Needs You” propaganda poster into “Does Young Metro Trust You?” The other three play on one of the original loose cannon shooters, Dirty Harry. Check out the merch over at Metro Boomin’s site and make sure to keep it locked here for new pieces that are already on their way. While you're at it, familiarize yourself with the origins of the meme.

Mo-G Accuses Drake Of Stealing His Style, Calls Him "Little Forest Hills Creature"
Another former Drake collaborator seems to have turned on him.
Looks like there’s trouble brewing up North. Toronto rapper Mo-G has been laying into Drake and his manager Oliver El-Khatib on Instagram. He’s accusing Drake’s team of all manner of shady behavior, including offering him only $500 for writing credits and jacking swagger and dance moves. Mo-G has uploaded it all to Instagram as evidence, saying he “ain’t afraid to speak the truth in public.”
Mo-G describes his experiences with OVO in the videos below, and also shares screenshots of some messages exchanged between him and Champagne Papi. In the messages, Drake is only asking for a vocal sample, but Mo-G says that their relationship went further, with Drake’s team asking him to help Drake write new flows and hooks, but only offering $500 in return. Mo-G calls Drake’s manager a “culture vulture,” among other things.
Mo-G and his crew Halal Gang have gotten shout outs from Drake before, including on “Summer Sixteen.” One would think Drake might just let this slide into obscurity, but a few hours ago he posted an Instagram picture with lyrics from another OVO artist, simply stating, “the bright lights are supposed to inspire you not fry your brain.”
Do y'all think Mo-G is making stuff up, or is he exposing the 6 God?

Rihanna's "ANTI" Returns To The Top Of The Billboard 200
After over a month spent in lower positions, Rihanna's "ANTI" is back at number one.
Rihanna pulled out a nail-biter against Kevin Gates about a month and a half ago when their respective albums ANTI and Islah were released, barely edging him out for the top spot on the Billboard 200. After that week at number one, Rih's surprise release ceded its spot to Future's EVOL, Kendrick Lamar's untitled unmastered, and of course, Adele's commercial juggernaut 25 in between. Now, after a month at number two or lower, ANTI's back on top.
Billboard's chart for the week of March 17th records 54,000 equivalent album units for Rih, 17,000 of which were deemed pure album sales. The rest, 69% of the total, came from streaming. Elsewhere, Adele moves down to number 2, Justin Bieber's Purpose moves up to 3, untitled unmastered falls back to 5, Islah sits at number 9, and Flatbush Zombies' 3001: A Laced Odyssey debuts at number 10 with 28,000 EAUs. Interestingly enough, 24,000 (about 85%) of that number came from pure album sales. So even though they're several rungs below Rihanna, FBZ sold more actual albums this past week.
Wale Plans To Release Two Albums In 2016
Wale announces plans for two 2016 albums, shares details on MMG's "Self Made Vol. 4."
Back in January, Wale announced a new album by the name of Shine, giving us the name only and no other details, and now we've got a slight update. In an interview with Complex at SXSW, the MMG rapper spoke on his upcoming fifth album and gave some additional hints about two more new projects.
First off, Shine is apparently an acronym that stands for "Still Here Ignoring Negative Energy," and it's about 80% complete. Kehlani and Nez & Rio are involved, but there's no release date yet. In addition, Folarin said that he'll "for sure" have another solo album out in 2016, and will also executive produce MMG's upcoming group project Self Made Vol. 4
Drake & Rihanna Surprise Fan With Cancer In Miami
The Make-A-Wish foundation sent Drake and Rihanna to visit a devoted young fan in Miami.
Last week, as the "Anti" tour hit Miami, Rihannabrought out Drake to perform their smash hit "Work," currently the No. 1 song in the country. During their stop in Miami, the two megastars took the time to visit a young fan of theirs named Megan, who's currently undergoing cancer treatment.
Megan certainly looks elated in her picture with both Drake and Rihanna, though the highlight of the visit, organized by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, was meeting the OVO rapper, for whom her obsession rivals any girl her age. "BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! I MET THE LOML," wrote Megan in the caption of a video post she put on her Instagram, one that has been reshared via a Drake fan account.
Rich Homie Quan Says Young Thug Is Still His Best Friend
Even though Thug dissed him at a recent show, Rich Homie Quan has still got love for his former Rich Gang partner. And he intends to prove it on an upcoming track.
During a recent concert, before dropping "Lifestyle," still the biggest hit to his name, Young Thugshouted, "Hey, fuck Rich Homie!" -- Rich Homie being the other collaborator on the track, taken off their 2014 joint tape Tha Tour: Part 1, which they released as the duo Rich Gang. Since the dissolution of Rich Gang, Thug has seemed to disown his former partner, but Rich Homie Quan, on the other hand, has no interest in contributing to the bad blood, as evidenced in a new track he's planning to release, which he previewed last night on Instagram.
The unreleased track seems to provide Quan's take on the highly scrutinized Rich Gang breakup. "I had to separate myself from Rich Gang," lip syncs Quan as the track plays in the background. "No disrespect to Birdman," he continues. With the next line, Quan confirms that "Thugga Thugga still my BEST FRIEND, BEST FRIEND, BEST FRIEND," perhaps a nod to Thug's big hit off Slime Season. Then again, maybe Quan will drop a "Best Friend" of his own.

Are Quavo & Rick Ross’ Ex-Fiance, Lira Galore, Dating?
According to rumors, Migos rapper Quavo & Rick Ross' ex, Lira Galore, are reportedly dating.
Rumors have been swirling online today that Rick Ross’ ex-fiance, Lira Galore, has a new man in her life and it’s reportedly Migos rapper Quavo.
According to TheShadeRoom, Quavo & Lira Galore were spotted together hanging out in the VIP of a club in North Carolina recently. While the video captured (below) doesn’t provide much proof of an exclusive relationship, reports are claiming the two are indeed an item.
Galore, who just ended her engagement with MMG’s Rick Ross, had rumors circulating back in November that she had cheated on Rozay with another rapper, causing their first initial break up. She later denied those allegations, but it’s now looking like that may have been Quavo, if true.

Young Thug Reveals Release Date For "Slime Season 3"
Young Thug's does another unique marketing approach to announce the release date for "Slime Season 3."
It looks like Young Thug has taken another unique approach for his latest news announcement. A couple weeks ago, Thugger was seen riding around the streets of ATL on horse in support of his upcoming "Hy!£UN35" tour, and now on Friday he did another off-the-wall marketing strategy to promote his upcoming Slime Season 3 project.
While down in Austin, Texas for this year’s SXSW Festival, Thugger decided to spray paint a black casket with the SS3 release date, logos, and his YSL apparel line all over it, and have it walk in a funeral procession down Austin’s busy 6th street while being led by a marching band. As expected, the marketing ploy worked, and many bystanders/fans were able to capture pictures of it on social media.
As for the Slime Season 3 release date, fans will be happy to hear that it arrives next week, March 25!
Yung Lean’s Tour Bus Shot At In Pittsburgh
Someone is gunning for the Sadboys.
Swedish rapper Yung Lean is currently on a US tour in support of his album Warlord, and played a show in Pittsburgh last night. After the show, it appears someone fired shots at Lean’s crew and their tour bus. Pittsburgh SWAT team had to be called to calm things down.
Yung Lean confirmed the shooting in a few now-deleted Instagram comments on his post thanking Pittsburgh for the show. We were also able to confirm the presence of SWAT based on a vine posted by Bladee, a frequently collaborator with Lean who’s on tour with him.
Afeni Shakur's Husband Wants Part Of The Tupac Estate For Alimony
Afeni Shakur does not want her soon to be ex-husband to get any alimony from the Tupac Estate.
Part of Tupac Shakur’s estate may end up as part of a divorce settlement, as Tupac Shakur’s mother Afeni Shakur is currently embroiled in a divorce with her husband Gust Davis. They have been married for 12 years but have been living apart for over a year.
TMZ reported details of the suit, including exactly how much the family makes and what Davis wants in the divorce. The Tupac Estate currently brings in roughly $900,000 a year, but after expenses & taxes that number is more like $20,000. Davis wants half of that monthly total for the rest of his life, as well as possession of his Jaguar and a 50 acre North Carolina ranch that the two purchased when they were still on good terms.
It’s up to a judge to decide how the assets will be divided, but Afeni has filed to block the alimony request. However, for some reason the couple didn’t sign a prenup before they got married, which is not good news for Afeni Shakur. Just goes to show, you don’t have to be female to be a gold digger.
Tory Lanez & Jacquees Have Squashed Their Beef
Tory Lanez and Jacquees met up at South By Southwest.
South By Southwest can really do everything. In addition to providing dope performances for fans, it can also be a means for reconciliation. Back in late February, Tory Lanez and Jacquees fell into a brief Twitter beef that was started when Tory Lanez responded flippantly to a post from the new Cash Money signee. Lanez wasn’t having it when Jacquees declared that he was coming for every R&B artist not named Chris Brown, and Jacquees ended up calling the Toronto singer a “watermelon head ass,” among other things.
Fast forward to SXSW, where the two linked up and appear to have squashed any ill will that may have stemmed from their spate on Twitter. Jacquees posted a photo of the two together at SXSW, and although he called Tory Lanez a watermelon head again, it appears to have been in good fun this time. The two are on to bigger things, as they should be, and hopefully we’ll hear a collaboration between the two talented artists soon.

Z Rejects Google Play Deal & Signs another deal
We had received word that the Official Vizion camp was making power moves by signing deals with companies like “Freemantle”, but now weve gotten word that rapper/ceo of Official Vizion has denied a deal with google play reported to be worth 500,000-2,000,000! Definitely a large sum of money compared to a normal income! We’re receiving word that Z turned down the deal because he felt that “Official Vizion” could make more money outside of the deal and it would be restricting for the labels growth! Stay tuned for more information on rapper Z aka Zeus!

Dizzy Wright Finally Speaks On The Collapse Of Funk Volume
Dizzy Wright speaks on Hopsin, Dame Ritter, and why certain fans helped bring about the demise of Funk Volume.
At the beginning of the year, Funk Volume co-founder and rapper Hopsinvoiced his anger at the label's other co-founder, Dame Ritter. In the week that followed, Georgia emcee Jarren Benton announced his departure from Funk Volume in favor of Master P's No Limit Records, and Hopsin then announced that the label was "officially dead."
Hopsin addressed his issues with Ritter in his latest track and video, "Ill Mind of Hopsin 8," and he went into further detail in an interview last week, calling his former partner the "new age Jerry Heller." Also during the interview, he announced a new label of his own called Undercover Prodigy.
All this time, not a word about Funk Volume's ruin had been uttered by Vegas rapper Dizzy Wright. Today, Dizzy finally broke his silence on Ritter, Hopsin, and the label he had been signed to for over four years in a lengthy Facebook post.
Hopsin had suggested he was interested in bringing his old Funk Volume labelmates to Undercover Prodigy, but in today's Facebook post, Dizzy confirmed he was staying in business with Ritter, who has continued to serve as his manager in the wake of Funk Volume's demise. He went on to voice his dismay at seeing Ritter's name being "dragged through the dirt" and explained how crucial his current manager was to Funk Volume's success.
Bryson Tiller Gets Key To City & His Own Holiday During Louisville Show
Louisville showed Bryson Tiller mad love last night on the final stop of his "Trapsoul" tour.
Yesterday was a big day for Bryson Tiller. In fact, the Trapsoul singer owned the day -- literally -- as the Louisville Metro Government officially anointed March 12 as "Bryson Tiller Day." In addition to getting his own holiday, Tiller was also given the key to the city of Louisville. It all went down last night during the final U.S. show on Tiller's "Trapsoul" tour, which, of course, took place in his hometown.
Clippers Owner Responds To Kanye West's Request To Redesign Mascot
Kanye West asks Steve Ballmer if he can redesign the Clippers' mascot; Ballmer invites him to a game.
Earlier today, Kanye West embarked on yet another Twitter escapade, during which he revealed what he takes to be his greatest quality -- "I care." He also put forth his belief that it's possible for humans to create a utopia. After logging off for a couple of hours, he hopped back on to drop a quick request regarding a less lofty matter, as he asked Steve Ballmer, owner of the L.A. Clippers, if he could redesign the team's new mascot.

The Weeknd Hints At Starting A "New Chapter"
Is another project on the way?
Since he started promoting Beauty Behind The Madness, The Weeknd has been referring to the various phases of his career as "chapters," releasing a teaser for the LP with the title "Chapter 3," and at one point matching these phases to projects in his bio (Chapter 1: Trilogy, Chapter 2: Kiss Land... etc.).
Ariana Grande Performs New Music, Interns At Tidal & Impersonates Rihanna On SNL
Ariana Grande was the musical guest and host of this week's Saturday Night Live.
In the tradition of Ray Charles, Mick Jagger, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, MC Hammer (?) and Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande took on double duties on last night's episode of Saturday Night Live, serving as both the host and musical guest.
With plenty of experience in both singing and acting, she made it work, particularly when she combined her talents in a skit that found her playing an intern at Tidal and doing various musical impressions (some we've heard before on Fallon), which included Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and Rihanna, most of which were pretty spot on, though there was a lazy jab at the incomprehensibility of Rih's patois on "Work".
From there, she performed two songs from her upcoming third album, Dangerous Woman, which included the title track and a brand new record called "Be Alright".
T-Pain, DeJ Loaf, Metro Boomin & Missy Elliott Have Been In The Studio Together
Whatever they're working on, it's going to be big.
T-Pain's Stoicville: The Phoenix album has been long in the making, but from the looks of it, the project will be worth the wait. Pain did some flexing on Twitter and Instagram yesterday, revealing that he'd just wrapped a studio session with the powerful team of Metro Boomin, DeJ Loaf, and Missy Elliott.
It's not clear where this super-collab will end up, but seeing as it was Pain who delivered the news, were hoping it'll be on his project, and that we'll be hearing it sooner than later. Then again, we could also see it landing on Missy's impending project.
From the headwear selection alone, T-Pain's pic with Metro and Missy seems to indicate something special was brewing at that session.
