You all know how Kanye West gets when things don’t go his way. During his performance at the 2015 Pan Am Games, Yeezy’s mic went out, so he threw it in the audience and walked off stage. And it was all caught on video. Peep the video and pics of Mariah Carey’s final Las Vegas residency show in 2015 inside….

 photo yeye2.jpg

Kanye West put on stellar 13-minute performance during the closing ceremony of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games yesterday. But in true Yeezy fashion, the performance didn’t come without a major flaw that has everyone talking this morning.

There was already controversy leading up to his performance as thousands signed a petition to have Kanye taken off of the line-up. But that didn’t deter Ye from serving up an epic performance of his classic hits “Stronger,” “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” “Touch the Sky,” “All of the Lights,” and “Gold Digger” to name a few.

During his final cut “Good Life,” Yeezy’s microphone went out. But here’s the kicker, it went out in the stadium, but evidently not on the broadcast. Once Kanye realized his microphone wasn't working, he threw it into the audience of 40,000 concertgoers and exited stage left.

Canadian television network CBC took to Twitter to confirm Ye’s mic went out due to a “technical issue”:

 

 

Oops!

After her killer performance, MC hit the party scene to celebrate at 1Oak Las Vegas where they only played her music for the first hour. While her billionaire boo James Packer wasn’t physically in attendance, his presence was still in the building. Waitresses walked around the club carrying giant photos of Mariah and James’ face. Interesting.  

 

In other news...MC will be honored with star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on August 5th, according to Variety. A few of her close friends, including L.A. Reid, Lee Daniels, and Brett Ratner are expected to speak at the ceremony. Congrats MiMi!

Amber Rose CLAPS Back At “Slut Shaming” While Her Estranged Husband Wiz Khalifa Gets It In With A Random Chick

Amber Rose is clapping back at Instagram trolls for popping off at upcoming “Slut Walk.” Find out how she schooled them on “slut shaming” and see what her estranged husband Wiz Khalifa was up to last night….

Never one to back down from a social media feud, Amber Rose (above, lighting up a cigarette in NYC) took to her Instagram yesterday to school a “hater” for “slut shaming” her.

The 31-year-old actress/author hit up her Instagram to promote her upcoming “Slut Walk,” which she says is aimed to empower women and to raise awareness for gender inequality. But unfortunately for Amber, she was met with criticism.

She first posted:

 photo arose1.png

The “How To Be A Bad B*tch” author revealed her “slut walk” will take place October 3rd in L.A. While some of her fans praised her for her efforts, there were some who offered up harsh criticism on the upcoming project. Well….Amber hopped in her comments section to clap back at those who were “slut shaming” her and to defend her parenting skills. She took a screenshot of her response and shared it on her IG:

 photo arose2.png

She captioned, "I have never been torn down so bad by WOMEN Lol Wtf??? I'm having this Slut walk for all of us to not get torn down by men and instead of u girls researching exactly what a Slut Walk is ur just calling me a Slut smh we need to do better. Me dancing and having fun doesn't make me a slut or a bad mom but cool judge me if u wanna. I come from extreme humble beginnings and have always been the same girl.... And I'll continue to live my life and make a change how ever I can. #AmberRoseSlutWalkLA "

 

The estranged wife of Wiz Khalifa then posted up the definition of “slut shaming”:

 photo arose3.png

While we applaud Amber for her efforts, she should expect people to have something negative to say while promoting an event with the title “Slut Walk.”

In other news…

Amber’s nemesis Khloe Kardashian landed on the cover of COMPLEX magazine’s Aug/Sept 2015 issue where she talks about that infamous Twitter feud with the booty-clapping actress. In the interview, Khloe revealed why she came for Amber and said she’s not in the business of “slut shaming.” She said:

I just feel like it was unnecessary for her to say anything, and I used her own quote back. It was from her talking about when she became a stripper so I’m like, “How are you judging and saying Kylie should have a curfew?” What I thought was crazy was she was telling my sister to act a certain way or have a curfew, but [she wasn’t] doing the same. So just don’t comment. How was I slut-shaming by saying don’t throw stones at glass houses? There was no slut-shaming. I am not one to slut-shame, I have done slutty behavior myself.
 

We're sure Amber will be responding in 5...4...3...2....

 

Meanwhile....

 photo arose5.png

While Amber was busy blasting Instagram trolls, her estranged husband Wiz Khalifa was having a ball with a random chick.

It appears Wiz hit the party scene after rocking the stage at the Amphitheater in Austin, TX last night for his “Boys of Zummer Tour” stop.

 photo arose4.png

He posted up a pic of a chick backing it up on him with the caption, “Life can be sweet.” You’ll recall, the “We Dem Boyz” rapper was last linked to a Canadian chick named Maria Becerra after he was caught tonguing her down in the backseat of a car after his show in Canada earlier this month. Guess Wiz is just living life to the fullest as he travels the country.

Tonight, Wiz will hit the stage at the Isleta Amphitheater in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Watch Nicki Minaj & Meek Mill's Steamy Scenes In “All Eyes On You” Video + Nicki & Meek RESPOND To Drake's "Charged Up" Diss Record

Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj get hot and heavy in the visuals for their joint track with Chris Brown“All Eyes On You.”

Also, during their "Pinkprint" tour stop in Brooklyn last night, Hip Hop’s favorite couple of the moment took jabs at Drake. Get it all inside…

Nicki Minaj and her boo Meek Mill have all eyes on them in the newly released “All Eyes On You” visuals, featuring Chris Brown. “All Eyes On You” is the first single off of Meek’s successful sophomore album Dreams Worth More Than Money.

The MMG rapper and the Young Money raptress put their love on front street (as if they haven’t done so enough already) in a few hot and steamy scenes in the Benny Boom-directed video.

We see Nicki and Meek doing what most couples do when they’re in love, she combs his hair, licks his ear, snaps lovey dovey pics for Instagram and lounge around in the bed together. We also see Nicki flossing in that tiny denim Nasty Gal bikini set she shared on social media last month.

Peep the full video below: 

Last night....

 photo nmr2.png

Nicki’s “Pinkprint” tour rolled through Brooklyn where the “Anaconda” raptress was joined on stage at the Barclays Center by her boo Meek Mill and Young Money honcho Lil Wayne!

Weezy rocked the stage spitting his bars from the chart topper “Loyal.” After his performance, Nicki bowed down to the "3 Peat" rapper, dubbing him as the best rapper alive. Undeniably humbled, Wayne responds, “I would agree with her, but there is a certain person named Nicki Minaj who is kicking my ass right now.”
 

 photo nm5.png

The highlight of last night’s performance came when Meek and Nicki threw a few shots at Drizzy, seemingly clapping back at his recently released Meek-diss “Charged Up,” which Drake released on his Beats1 OVO Sound station on Apple Radio. Drake spit,

"No woman ever had me star struck /Or was able to tell me to get my bars up."

During the closing of their set, Meek yelled out “Make some noise for the girl that got me starstruck." As the “Pills N Potions” raptress sashayed across stage, she jokingly responded, “N*gga you starstruck?!" before tonguing him down and exiting the stage.

Guess the “rap battle” between Meek & Drake continues….

After the show….

 photo nm2.png

The twosome hit up Stage Forty 8 for the after party where the celebration turned into a family affair. The love birds partied with Meek’s sister and Nicki’s brothers where Nicki captioned,“My brothers and his sister. #FamilyFirst my favorite boyz on the planet.”

Looks like they had a ball. Fun times. 

Next stop..."The Pinkprint" tour will invade Drizzy's hometown at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre in Toronto tomorrow night. Let's hope no foolishness pops off.

NEWS: Bobbi Kristina's Death Is Officially A Homicide Investigation + Burial Plans Revealed And Bobby Brown Breaks His Silence

Recently, we brought you details about the tragic passing of Bobbi Kristina Brown. Now, we've got an update on the police investigation surrounding her death. It's been upgraded to a homicide investigation.  More inside...

 photo BobbiKristinaBrownDies22BJBj5JSOw9zl.jpg

Yesterday, photographers captired a somber-looking Bobby Brown leaving the Peachtree Christian Hospice where his only child with ex-wife Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina Brown had passed away.

In an statement to PEOPLE, Mr. Brown said,"Krissy was and is an angel. I am completely numb at this time. My family must find a way to live with her in spirit and honor her memory. Our loss is unimaginable. We thank everyone for the prayers for Krissy and our family as we mourn my baby girl."

As we told you over the weekend, Bobbi Kristina died six months after she was found unresponsive in her home inside of her bathtub.  Since her passing, we've learned about some shocking developments regarding an investigation into her death...it's now being treated as a homicide!

According to TMZ, law enforcement in Georgia (Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard& The Roswell Police Dept) are treating Bobbi Kristina's untimely death as foul play, and her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, is a key person of interest.

Although six-months has passed since Bobbi Kristina was found submerged in her bathtub, law enforcement is confident there will be no problem finding a direct link between the two.

You'll recall a few days ago, we revealed that Bedelia Hargrove, who was appointed as conservator of Bobbi Kristina's estate, filed a $40 million lawsuit against Nick alleging he stole some serious money from BK.  The suit also alleges he often physically abused BK, dragging her upstairs by her hair on one occasion and knocking out her front tooth on another.  So....it looks like this story is far from over. 

But before the family estate and law enforcement direct their attention to Nick, Bobbi Kristina must be laid to rest.  According to ET, she will be given a funeral service this week in Atlanta, Georgia, after which her body will be flown to New Jersey where she will be buried alongside her mother.

Also, The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office has said they'll conduct an autopsy to determine what led to her death, but the result will not be available for a few weeks.

Music legend Dionne Warwick (she's Whitney Houston's cousin) appeared on "WWHL" where she spoke about Bobbi Kristina, describing her as a sweet child who is now in a better place.

Yeezy and Kim joined Caitlyn, her mother and her sister where they gathered in the kitchen to chop it up. Kanye then praised Caitlyn for her bravery, calling it one of the “strongest things that have happened in our existence as human beings.” Oh.

SIDEBAR - Kanye & Kim celebrated Caitlyn's first Father's Day this year.

Caitlyn praised Kanye for his open mindedness and helping Kim feel comfortable with her transition. She said,“Kanye and I have never really been very close, but I love his open-mindedness and I love how he has helped Kim come to grips with what’s going on.”

Towards the end of their conversation, Caitlyn’s sister admires Yeezy’s untied adidas sneakers, where Ye was happy to explain why he rocks them untied.

Joe Jackson, the 87-year-old patriarch of the Jackson family, was hospitalized in Brazil yesterday where he reportedly suffered three heart attacks.  More inside...

 

We've just learned that on the day of his 87th birthday, Joe Jackson, the patriarch of the Jackson clan, was hospitalized in Sao Paulo, Brazil. According to TMZ, Mr. Jackson was initially hospitalized as the result of an artery bursting behind his eye, which triggered a stroke.

His publicist told US Magazine

"Yesterday in Sao Paolo Joe had a stroke and then his heart stopped. They found out there was something wrong with his eye. There was an artery that burst behind it. He had one stroke and then his heart stopped three times. I don’t know if they’re calling that a heart attack, but officially they said one stroke and his heart stopped three times."

Once he arrived at the hospital, Mr. Jackson reportedly underwent surgery and has been fitted with a pacemaker.  Now, doctors are waiting to see if the pacemaker stabilizes him.

After the scare, Joe released a statement on his website, writing,

“To my family, friends, acquaintances and fans all over the world. I want to thank you all for your prayers, unwavering support and kind well wishes during these trying times. Through God’s intervention the wonderful Doctors, Nurses and caretakers at the Albert Einstein Sao Paulo hospital have taken great care of me. God willing, I should be able to make a quick recovery and travel back home soon. Thank you all once again for your prayers and support.”

Joe was in Sao Paulo for a birthday celebration - but he never made it to his own party. Recently, he was featured in daughter Janet's"No Sleep" video and she post a tribute to him on Twitter.

 photo sher1.jpg

We told you Sherri Shepherd would be returning to co-host “The View.” And now, it has been confirmed. Come inside for the deets on Sherri’s new deal and producer Will Packer’s Atlanta based “Buckhead” drama coming to NBC…

Former “The View” co-host Sherri Shepherd is set to return to the round table on the daytime talk show. We previously told you she would be resuming her role on the show as a recurring contributor. But, new reports suggest the comedienne will return as a lead contributor and is expected to appear in about 50 episodes.

Deadline reports:

The addition of Shepherd is part of The View overhaul this summer as ABC News is looking to reignite the veteran daytime talk show to its former ratings glory after a turbulent 18th season, the first without co-creator Barbara Walters.

Next season, The View will return to a five-host format after opting for four co-hosts this season. Confirmed for three of the chairs are Whoopi Goldberg, the only returning host; Raven-Symone; and Michelle Collins; to be joined by Candace Cameron Bure and Paula Faris. Shepherd is expected to lead a group of a half dozen or so contributors that also would include Stacey London and Molly Sims, among others.

You’ll recall, Sherri left “The View” last summer after she was unable to agree on contract terms, following a seven-year stint. About two months ago, the “Soul Man” star returned to guest co-host. And now, fans can get excited to see more of Sherri coming this fall.

Congrats!

That was fast!  Weeks after filing for an annulment from pregnant baller Glory Johnson, it looks like Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner has moved on to another woman. See pics of the new couple inside...

 photo Screenshot 2015-07-28 08.20.05.png

After a very rocky year which included a dosmetic dispute, a suspension from the WNBA, a wedding AND a divorce/annulment, it looks like Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner has finally found her "happy." We were snooping around Instagram earlier and we came across Brittney boo'd up with a new woman....her name is Lola.

We've learned that Lola works at Red Revolver Lounge in Phoenix and that's where she and Brittney met. Based on their Instagram photos and outings, the two seem to be a very happy couple.

Outside of her new relationship, Brittney still has a messy situation to clear up with Tulsa Shock player Glory Johnson. You'll recall that Glory and Brittney had a huge public brawl, followed by a huge wedding, a 28-day marriage and an even bigger split!

Since then, messy court document have been leaked, revealing that Brittney alleges Glory had a sexual relationship with a man leading up to their engagement, and continued to text with an ex-boyfriend after the engagement. Because of these allegations, Brittney wants an annulment, saying she NEVER would have married Glory had she known these deets.

Meanwhile, Glory is pregnant with their twins (although the babies will have no biological connection to Brittney) and she wants $20K per month in spousal support, plus a $10,000 advancement toward attorney fees.

We'll let you know how that all plays out...in the meantime, congrats Brittney!

Fans BLAST Hot 97 DJ Funkmaster Flex For NOT Delivering Meek Mill’s Diss Record—Online Petition Pops Up Urging Him To Step Down!

 photo funk.jpg

Hot 97 DJ Funkmaster Flex had Hip Hop fans ultimately pissed yesterday after he didn’t deliver on a promise. Flex claimed he had Meek Mill’s response to Drake’s “Charge Up” diss record, BUT he failed to deliver. Now the Innanets are going wild. Deets inside….

Hip Hop heads everywhere were upset after Hot 97 DJ Funkmaster Flex made a promise he couldn’t keep. Flex had rap fans everywhere locked into Hot 97 yesterday waiting to hear Meek Mill’s response to Drake’s “Charged Up” diss record. He promised to release it at 7pm ET. Well, 7pm came and went and fans were left to listening to a mix (which we hear wasn’t that great).

Now, fans are blasting the Hot 97 personality for having everyone’s hopes up. The memes and the Twitter slander is at an all time high and below are a few:

 photo fl2.png

 photo fl1.png

 photo fl3.png

 photo fl5.png

 photo fl4.png

Meek Mill also got in on the action tweeting:

 

 

 

 

Then, one young man, named Azeem Khan, decided to launch an online petition encouraging Flex to step down from his radio gig. He aired out his frustrations about the radio personality calling him a fraud, saying his time is up at the station.

Here’s the full petition below:

 

There has always been word that DJ Funk Funkmaster Flex was not someone who was willing to give up his position at Hot 97 for his slot. Despite constant critiques from everywhere for the old man to step down, and give the younger people a shot he decided to stay where he was. Last year Dame Dash was at the forefront of the movement saying that Funk Flex really needs to just leave. Well, today was the last straw. This fraud of a DJ decided to lie to everyone for ratings and downloads of the Hot 97 app that Meek Mill would be on tonight to release a diss track to Drake to no avail. No one has given Hot 97 two hours of listening time since Biggie was alive, and it's a crime to have taken that from us. The people have spoken and it is time for Funk Flex to step down.

 

At the time of this post, there are around 6,000 signatures. You can check it out here.

And, of course, Power 105 personality Charlamagne the God had to add his 2 cents in a hilarious “Donkey of the Day” segment. Check it:

 

Hilar!

Amber Rose and her adorable baby boy Sebastian enjoyed some mommy-and-me time yesterday. Peep the precious videos and get the deets on Amber’s upcoming “Slutwalk” in L.A. inside…

When she isn’t feuding with someone on social media or twerking for the ‘gram, Amber Rose is spending quality time with her cute 2-year-old son Sebastian Thomaz, whom she shares with her estranged husband Wiz Khalifa.

Yesterday, the bootylicious actress and her baby boy hit the beach for some fun in the sun together to bond and enjoy each other’s company. Amber captioned the picture above, “Fun in the sun with my Pumpkin Pie.” Too cute.

Following their beach pic, the “How to Be A Bad B*tch” author posted up a series of videos of Baby Bash exploring. He found a praying mantis that he couldn’t resist from touching. Check it:

The Sister Code actress also posted up a clip of Baby Bash giving the definition of the word “conversate.” We’re not exactly sure why she deleted the post, but we assume it had to do with people saying “conversate” isn’t an actual word. Her caption read, “Some ppl will say Conversate is not an actual Word but we use it in American English so often as a back-formation from 'Conversation' so why not teach him the definition? So when he hears 'Conversate' he'll know exactly what it means”

Regardless how you feel about the word, Baby Bash has our ovaries on fire with this adorable clip:  

 

Cuteness overload!

After Amberclapped back at Instagram trolls while defending her upcoming “Slutwalk,” new deets have emerged about her new project.

The 31-year-old star is hosting a gender awareness walk called the “Amber Rose Slutwalk” in downtown L.A. on Saturday, October 3rd.

Amber’s upcoming “Slutwalk” was inspired by the original 2011 Slutwalk in Toronto. Women gathered to protest as they raised awareness to gender equality after a police officer told a crowd of female college students that if they wanted to avoid sexual assault, they shouldn't dress like sluts.

Now, Amber is taking a stand and wants all of her fans to join her. Will you be attending Amber’s Slutwalk this fall?

In today’s round up of new music videos, we have clips from Jaden Smith, Tyga and The Weeknd. Check ‘em out inside….

In between shooting scenes for the upcoming Netflix series“The Get Down,”Jaden Smith found time to shoot visuals for a new track titled "Scarface."

Directed by Moisés Arias in Matera, Italy, the 17-year-old “cool kid” serves up dark and mysterious visuals (shot inside a dimly lit cave) with a slew of cryptic messages embedded in the lyrics. The visuals are almost creepy and his rap style sort of reminds us of Drake a bit, but it stays true to Jaden’s artistic style.

He raps,

Private society, but you try to see/Handle it privately/Why did you lie to me? Why did you, Bruce Lee/John F. Kennedy, who?

 

And perhaps, his most chilling and dramatic lyric on the track include:

“The government will not be killing me, no/The government will not be killing…”

Right as he's about to say it again...POW! The video ends with a gunshot Jaden disappears and his voice stops. Check it:
 

In a lighter video...

Riding high off the premiere of his MTV 2 reality series “Kingin’ With Tyga" on Friday, Tyga dropped some new visuals yesterday for a track titled “Master Suite.”

T-Raww and his homies show what it’s like to live the rockstar lifestyle as they party it up with half-dressed chics, throw wads of money all over the place and toast it up to the good life with bottles of Ace of Spades. Must be nice.

“Master Suite” is expected to appear on a new mixtape Tyga’s prepping to release titled, Fuk What They Talkin Bout. Peep his new visuals above.
 

And in another video....

The Weeknd has brand new visuals for his track “Can’t Feel My Face” (which currently sits at No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100). And it’s FIRE…literally.

The R&B crooner released the video treatment via the new Apple Music Connect platform, joining artists like Drake to release their new material directly to fans. The single is expected to appear on The Weeknd’s upcoming highly anticipated sophomore album Behind The Madness (August 28th).

In the Grant Singer-directed clip, The Weeknd is singing his heart out while busting some signature Michael Jackson moves before an "unentertained" audience. Someone then throws a lighter at the Canadian singer and he burts into flames. Never missing a beat, The Weeknd busts some lively moves where he’s joined on stage by the crowd. Check it out above.

In today's new music, we've got a cosmic track from the eclectic diva Dawn Richard, meanwhile Nicki Minaj's ex-Safaree Samuels has a new diss track where he claims to have ghostwritten a few tracks on The Pinkprint!   Listen to them both inside....

While the VMAs and the BET Awards might sleep on Dawn Richard and her talent, we're here for it!  This week, she's dropped another sensuous tune from her album Blackheart, name "Roses." The track was produced by London-based beat master Cronus as it is sure to take the listener on a cosmic trip.

The song is basically an ode to releasing sexual tension as Dawn croons,“All that I want from you, is to get rid of the blues / Even if it’s one night with you.” 

Check out "Roses" below:

 

By the way, Dawn is set to drop the final installment of her trilogy, Redemptionheart, later this summer. In the meantime, Blackheart, and 2013's Goldenheart are available now.

We're sure you've been keeping up with the Meek Mill vs. Drake beef, but there's another horse in the race too.  While Meek is busy calling out Drake for "ghostwritten" verses via social media, Safaree Samuels has been leveling the same charges against Nicki Minaj.

Although Nicki never claimed Safaree while they were together (they dated for over ten years) we learned a lot about their relationship once they borke up. Now, on his "Lifeline" track, Safaree is spilling the tea, and he "suggests" that he's ghostwritten a few bars on Nicki's classic Pinkprint series.  Say what now?  He said,

“This ni**a bent outta shape with a gorilla face/My bars on The Pinkprint no one will ever match / My dick-print lil ni**a, you could never match.”

Oh ok then.....but when we checked the CD linear notes, Nicki only gave Safaree an A&R credit. But's he saying otherwise.....

Plus he's got a few jabs for Meek too. He disses his record sales ("You dream about Drake numbers in your nightmares”), and even tries to fat shame him (“You need to eat a pear”). Whoa!

Now, we do not expect Nicki Minaj to let the "ghostwriting" jab go unchecked. She prides herself on being a lyricist, so we know she's going to DESTROY Safaree. And we can't wait....

BANNED: Gilbert Arenas Won ALL The Prizes At The Orange County Fair...So They Asked Him To Leave! + Rihanna Was BLOCKED From Performing In Baltimore After The Unrest

When a former NBA player takes it to the hoop at the county fair....he wins ALL the prizes!  Find out why Gilbert Arenas got banned from the Orange Country Fair and read about Baltimore police blocking Rihanna's free concert.

"We just got banned from all the basketball hoops at #orangecountyfair...every one screamed #theRimsarebent I screamed #hibachi ...#ArenasFamily #CountyFairRockstars" - Gilbert Arenas

Although Gilbert Arenas hasn't played for the NBA since 2012, he's still got the moves. Don't believe us? Ask the folks at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, California.

Because Mr. Arenas still has a few mean 3-pointer skills, he's been BANNED from the fair. Why? See exhibit A above.  Gilbert stepped up to the booth and straight cleaned the folks out! He won all the stuffed animals!  Sources say he won the hoops game an impressive 15 times before officials stepped in and said that's enough Mr. NBA!

And if you peep his Instagram caption (we included it above) you'll see he brought back his signature catchphrase "Hibachi!"  We can only imagine him scoring win after win and yelling out "Hibachi!" with ever prize claimed!

While he did get "banned" that day, we can report that officials told Gilbert (and his four kids) that they were welcome to come back another day.

While some fans often complain about Black celebrities not stepping up to the plate on social issues, we've learned that Rihanna's recent efforts were shot down. A shocking report in The Baltimore Sun revealed that RiRi wanted to come to Baltimore in the week after rioting broke out to walk with protesters and perform a free concert, but she was shut down by officials.

In a message dated May 1st and sent to Capt. Eric Kowalczyk, then the head of media relations for Baltimore Police, an officer discusses a conversation he had with Rihanna's reps.

The rep "advised that Rihanna wants to walk with the protesters as well as perform a free concert," the officer wrote. "He added that she will be arriving by plane and in an effort to divert press/media she will be traveling to the city by train (or by car if necessary).

"[He] stated that they had hoped to secure some extra police security and was directed by the Governor's office to seek assistance through Communications"

Well......let's just say Rihanna's effort were shut down. A situation report that was ALSO dated May 1st indicates police might have stopped any attempt at holding a show. The update read,

"Possible Rihanna Concert at Penn & North. No time given. Police are claiming they have no permit so it will NOT be allowed."

Oh wells.......now we know she tried. Don't ever say Rihanna doesn't give back!

OPENING UP: Birdman ADMITS Lil Wayne Feud Hurts Him, Says Nicki Minaj & Drake Aren’t Going ANYWHERE & Denies Involvement In Tour Bus Shooting

Birdman is finally breaking his silence and weighing in on the feud between him and Lil Wayne, in his first interview.  Find out what the Cash Money honcho had to say about Wayne,  Nicki Minaj and Drake’s future, that tour bus shooting incident and more inside….

We’ve been following the shocking on-going feud between rap superstar Lil Wayne and his “daddy”/Cash Money CEO Birdman since Wayne first put Birdman on blast via Twitter. Things have gone from bad to worse with Wayne filing a $51 million lawsuitover Tha Carter V, to Weezy’s tour bus getting shot up (with rumors of Birdman being the culprit) to the Young Money general having a drink thrown on him during a performance…allegedly by Birdman. Plenty has been going on in the Cash Money camp.

While we know how Wayne feels about the situation (he called it a “f*cked up situation" that he'll be out of soon), Birdman has remained quiet…until now.

 photo bif2.png

In a candid interview with Power 105 personality Angie Martinez (aboard a boat outside of his Miami home), Birdman gives his side.  When asked how he felt what Wayne aired out his frustrations on Twitter, Birdman revealed,

“I never thought that would ever happen… that f*cked my day up. I love my son. He mean the world to me. For that man to say something negative about me that affected my life.”

A heavily discussed topic amidst all of the drama is what will happen to Drake and Nicki Minaj if Wayne ever gets the chance to leave Cash Money? He cleared that up saying, "Nicki and Drake ain't going nowhere. Regardless."

While Birdman claims he hasn’t spoke to Wayne since ish hit the fan, he does see him on a regular. Their studios are right next to each other, so the two see each other in passing. The crazy part is that when they do run into each other, they don’t speak! He said, “I see him like everyday and I don’t say nothing.”

Birdman said the tension will all get sorted out when the time is right. He said he doesn’t feel like the studio is the place to air out their issues, so he hasn’t said anything. He also said with Wayne’s traveling schedule, he’s gone a lot, but plans to wait till the proper time for them to talk.

Another hot topic was Lil Wayne’s tour bus getting shot up in Atlanta earlier this year. You’ll recall, Young Thug’s road manager was arrested in connection with the shooting, leaving folks to assume Birdman may have been involved (since he's affiliated with Young Thug). He responded,

“That’s like the craziest shit I ever heard in my life. I couldn’t tell you what happened that night because I wasn’t there.”

“My family and my children mean the world to me. You crazy if you think that. You know how I am about Wayne. I love him, that’s my son. I don’t play those games.”

“Any nigga who bust a gun at Lil Wayne, we got a problem. Time will tell it all.”

Well there’s that.

The Cash Money honcho also cleared up those rumors that he threw a drink at Wayne while he was performing onstage at LIV in Miami recently. He said that situation had nothing to do with him. He confirmed he was there, but said he didn’t realize what it looked like until after he watched the video.

He added,

“You seen me right? You seen what I was doing? I’m in my own zone. And I’m not gone let no man disrespect my son. If something did happen it got checked.”

 

 

The full interview is expected to make its way online later today, but in the meantime check out a clip from their sitdown below:

Rapper and actress Eve was spotted on holiday with her new husband and his four kids.  Find out where she and Maximillion Cooper went inside...

 photo barbo3.jpg

Recently, we spotted Eve on the beach in Barbados rocking a two piece bikini, looking like the picture of wealth and beauty. And you know what....she really is!  Last year, Eve walked down the aisle and wed her fabulously wealthy hubby Maximillion Cooper, the founder of of Gumball 3000.

Since then, she's put her music career on hold, but she's still acting and making films. A few weeks ago she starred in the made-for-tv film With This Ring and now she's reprising her role as "Terri" in Barbershop 3 (in theaters 2016).

In addition to her acting roles, Eve's also assumed the role of step mommy.  Because Max has four kids (from a previous marriage to his business partner Julie Brangstrup), Eve had her hands full!
