ROLO/AKM-GSI

We can finally close the cluttered chapter of our Rihanna and Chris Brown scrapbooks, because it's officially over...for now.

A source exclusive to E! News has confirmed the couple's split after a tireless frenzy of are-they-or-aren't-they tailchasing. Per the insider, RiRi will always love Chris but has moved on and is reshifting her focus to her career and business ventures.

Currently running the final legs of her international Diamonds tour while spending solo time with her "mini tour family" and conceptualizing new creative ideas for future shows, the superstar is also working toward launching a new perfume and continuing with her ongoingfashion campaigns.

There is reportedly no other man in the Barbadian beauty's life. As photos surface of Breezy's night out with a mysterious blondein NYC, RiRi appears to be flying solo in the West Coast:

Rihanna was spotted courtside at the L.A. Lakers vs. L.A. Clippers game on Sunday sporting a bold and quirky outfit, consisting of an oversize jersey tee, graphic sweatpants and sky-high white heels. And to further push the fashion boundaries, her look was accessorized with a thick collar chain and vampish lipstick.

Good to know single Ri is still a risk-taker.

Watch “Love & Hip Hop” New York Season 3 Reunion (Part 1)

In the end, it could all be so simple, but Mona Scott-Young would rather make it ratchet.

In the first part of the season 3 reunion of “Love & Hip Hop”, Mona got the ball rolling by airing out the beef between Rashidah and Raqi. The beef is real between these two even though they really don’t have much of a basis for hating each other beyond the he-said, she-said that they’ve heard about each other.
After Rashidah devastated Raqi, she moved on to trashing Yandy and her clown-ass man Mendeecees. Spoiler alert: Rashidah let it be known that Mendeecees let her down in a BIG way and Yandy wasn’t having it.
But the most hated woman of the reunion had to be the now-pregnant (by an unknown baby daddy) Winter Ramos. She was so hated that her ass wasn’t even allowed to sit on the stage as Lore’l and Yandy tore into her with their biting comments.
Oh, and you won’t want to miss the messy relationship drama between Joe and Tahiry and Erica and Rich Dollaz.

joe budden's love life

2013-04-08T20:54:00.003-07:00

Joe Budden's love life is just as complex as the deep-layered raps that he's been known to deliver. During this season of "Love & Hip Hop: New York," fans saw Joey's heart teeter-tottering his ex-girlfriends Tahiry Jose and Kaylin Garcia and though the season ended inconclusively, many believed that Tahiry and Joe ended up back in a committed relationship.

"It didn't definitively tell very much," Budden said of the show's season finale when he appeared on "RapFix Live" on Wednesday. "It ended with Tahiry and I trying to co-exist, trying to see if we can do that successfully. It didn't end in a relationship with Tahiry."

Joe Budden Delves Into 'Love & Hip Hop,' Tahiry And Celibacy?

Budden understands why many fans who saw Monday's show on VH1 came away thinking that he and Tahiry had reunited officially — after all, they did take a trip to the Dominican Republic together and lay in bed with one another. "I would never do that. I would never jump from one relationship directly into another. Though it may have appeared that way, that's not what happened," he said.

"I'm single and celibate," he declared to "RapFix" host Sway Calloway.

When Sway asked him how long he's been celibate Budden, with his patented dry it responded: "Since the last time I had sex."

The way the Slaughterhouse MC sees it, having sex with either Tahiry or Kaylin would only complicate matters. "Sex is very misleading for women. So while I'm trying to get these relationships in order, I'm trying not to have sex with Kaylin, I'm trying not to have sex with Tahiry so we can really have our minds on correctly while we go through this process," he said.

Whom do you think Joe Budden should end up with: Tahiry or Kaylin? Let us know in the comments!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Who Made Kelly Rowland Cry? Beyonce? Jay? Solange?

2013-02-14T20:30:00.001-08:00

Somebody’s gonna get it! What the hell is going on when Kelly is crying after a brunch with Jay, Solange and B?

It was her birthday and she was spotted crying like crazy!

The love of my life was at Gjelina Restaurant in LA when she was spotted and some say Beyonce was also crying too. Unless Jay-Z was crying too, this leads me to believe that she was just having a female emo moment…just just mad happiness. Damn – where the hell was Michelle? I need them to include Michelle in the mix more.

KimYe Stops Plane, Gets In Trouble With Airport Securit

2013-02-14T20:29:00.000-08:00

(AllHipHop News) When Kanye West was apart of one duo he once asked “who gon’ stop me, huh?” TSA gave the Kanye and Kim Kardashian (KimYe) duo that answer when the celebrity parents-to-be had their plane delayed due to bypassing security clearances at New York City’s John F Kennedy airport.

Returning from their samba-filled Brazil trip with Will Smith and Duane Martin Tuesday (Feb. 12), the power couple received some unauthorized help reaching their connecting flight to LAX from an opportunistic American Airline staff member.

“An airline employee escorted the two travelers through a non-public area,” says a spokesman for the Transpiration Security Administration (TSA) ”in order to provide expedited access to their domestic flight.” Since the unnamed airline employee “violated security protocol” KimYe’s connecting flight was delayed an hour while TSA “conducted a private screening of the two passengers in the area of the jetway.”

It’s not all love and appreciation for the reality show beauty and the microphone beast recently. Ms. Kardashian’s laywer in her pending divorce case with ex-husband Kris Humphries claims the Brooklyn Nets star is holding the case “hostage” because of alleged “uncooperative third parties,” according to a report from E! Online. Humphries’ camp attributes the delay to Kris’ legal right to be present during Kim’s deposition, however his basketball season lasting until mid May complicates Kim’s request for an expedited trial in order for the divorce to be finalized by the time she gives birth in July.

Her other half has drawn the critical ire from lauded electro-house producer (and frat house legend) Deadmau5 in a recent interview with VIBE. When asked whom the Canadian musician would like to design a live show, he responded frankly with “Anyone other than f—ing Kanye. I f—ing hate him.”

The G.O.O.D. Music general is working on his as-of-yet untitled follow-up to his 2010 classic My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy with past collaborators The-Dream and Malik Yusef both praising the new recordings.

Lil Wayne Under Fire For Disrespectful Emmett Till Lyric, Epic Records Pulls Song

2013-02-14T20:23:00.000-08:00

(AllHipHop News) Lil Wayne is under intense scrutiny for a rap lyric that blatantly disrespects the memory of Emmett Till, a young boy that was murdered in 1955 for whistling at a white woman.

The rapper appears on the Future song “Karate Chop,” where he proclaims he would beat up a woman’s private parts like Emmett Till.

Epic Records has already released a statement indicating that they are pulling the remixed record, which was apparently leaked to the internet.

“We regret the unauthorized remix version of Future’s `Karate Chop,’ which was leaked online and contained hurtful lyrics,” the statement said. “Out of respect for the legacy of Emmett Till and his family and the support of the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. … we are going through great efforts to take down the unauthorized version.”

Another version of the song is coming out without the reference to Emmet Till. The move corresponds with the wishes of the family.

Earlier this week, the family of the Till family has released a statement expressing their outrage at the lyric.

Airickca Gordon-Taylor, founding director of the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation, said the song is “disappointing, dishonorable, and outright disrespectful to our family.”

“My agenda is not to be disrespectful to Lil Wayne, even as much as I feel he’s been disrespectful to my family. We just want Emmett’s name removed from that song. That entire segment is very misogynistic and promotes domestic abuse toward women by our own race.” Gordon-Taylor told the Sun-Times on Wednesday.

“But it also shows total disregard of where you’ve come from. He wouldn’t even be out there rapping these stupid lyrics without the sacrifice Emmett made. Personally, I think Lil Wayne should just go ahead and apologize to my family. It’s hurtful.”

Lil Wayne has made no comment at press time.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Chris “Not A Blood” Brown Arguing With Crips?!

2013-02-14T20:21:00.000-08:00

Remember back in the day when Chris Brown was known as a Blood gang member? I do!

Well, it seems that CB is at it again and this time it is with a Crip. Seems that CB was making a speed walk to the Lamb when somebody had something to say about his expeditiousness! The joke didn’t go over too well. Here is what happened, per TMZ:

Crip: “I ain’t never seen a ni**a jump in a car that fast, ni**a. Yo, scary-ass Chris is that motherfu**er bulletproof?”"

Chris “Not-A-Blood” Brown: “Is yo’ a** bulletproof, NAGA?”

Crip: “I’m a crip ni**er, hell yeah, I’m bulletproof!”

Chris “Not-A-Blood” Brown then gives the Crip some ominous advice, which only somebody of much power could give.

Chris: “Don’t get f**ked up out here, my n**ga.”

To be fair, he’s denied being a blood.

Charlamagne Tha God Gives Chief Keef The 'Donkey Of The Day' Award For Crying When He Was Sentenced To 60 Days In Juvenile Detention [Audio]

2013-01-18T22:47:00.000-08:00

Chicago rapper Chief Keef was sentenced to 60 days in juvenile detention yesterday for violating his probation from a previous gun charge.

Cook County Juvenile Court Judge Carl Anthony Walker said Tuesday that Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart, exhibited a "clear disregard for the court's authority" by appearing with a gun during a 2012 interview with Pitchfork.com at the West Side Rifle and Pistol Range in New York City.

Keef had to be back in court yesterday for sentencing when he found out his fate.

The 17-year old asked the judge for another chance, but Walker wasn't having it.

"I beg you, please. Give me one more chance to show you I am a very good-hearted person. I have not picked up any more cases. That's not my life anymore," Keef told the judge before breaking down crying according to DNAInfo.com.
Today, Charlamagne Tha God of Power 105.1 gave Keef the "Donkey of the Day" award for sobbing in court during his sentencing.

"I can understand if he got 60 months in prison. Or 60 years in prison. Even if he got 60 days in general population in Chicago I can understand him shedding some tears, but 60 days in juvenile detention? Come on Mr. Gangster?" Charlamagne said.

Check out the rest of what Charlamagne had to say up top.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Shots Fired! Gunplay Asks Saigon Some Rick Ross Questions!

2012-11-19T19:57:00.001-08:00

I don’t know if there is much to see here, but I suppose its worth a mention. Saigon recently was on the promo trail for his new album The Greatest Story Never Told Chapter 2: Bread And Circuses and he said he wanted to punch rappers like Rick Ross and 2Chainz in the face for pushing negative messages to kids.

Well, after the interview, Rick Ross’ capo Gunplay – who is on house arrest – had some questions he posed in his how interview with HipHopWired.

“I got a son too, Ross got a daughter, Ross got a son. I dare you to do that sh*t…To each his own, if that’s how he feel… try to punch him in the face. You saying this [but] you’re tryna punch somebody in the face? I’m sayin’, what’s wrong with dog? I don’t know what’s up with that sh*t…Why you goin’ in on Ross? Go in on everybody else. You just singling out two people ‘cuz they the hottest n*ggas in the game right now. Why you singling them out? Everybody has kids, what makes yours so special?”

I don’t know why this is even worthy of commentary. I guess I’m a bit disappointed, because Gunplay wasn’t his usual crazy self. Maybe, he can’t get hyped up on that white girl in the house? I don’t know!

Anyway, Sai has since fallen off of his original words of wanting to punch folks in the face.

“I say them things on purpose. If U notice I say people names at the end of the interview.In my mind Im thinking I just dropped a deep interview but I have to say some super ignorant Isht to bring people to even watch it so I said a name or 2… I just been doing this for a while and I understand how the Hip Hop media works..I hope those 2 guys understand it was simply a strategy and not personal at all.. Though I DONT agree with their content. I do not want to cause them any harm or see them harmed.”

What do you think about his reasoning?

“Diamonds” remix with Kanye West. This was kind of “eh” to me.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Kanye West Was WHERE This Weekend And Doing WHAT?

2012-11-19T19:55:00.003-08:00

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn I SUCK! Guess what happened over the weekend!? First, let me tell you. Delaware is the second smallest state in the USA. So, over the weekend guess who popped up at the local BOWL-A-RAMA in my state? Kanye West! The northern part of the state was on fire! Here is what some people said:

@CinnaBUNGY (rynae.) – Wait, what was Kanye doing in Delaware & why did he stop at Bowlerama of ALL places?

RT @im_kwalker: So Kanye West was at bowlerama in Delaware and I ain’t kno about it…I woulda gassed up the Honda and went right up there

Anyway, I was definitely one of the late ones. I went and got there too damn late. Anyway, you know Kanye has family in the First State. He also attended graduation at the University of Delaware a couple years ago to see one of his fam walk.

Pretty cool.

From what I understand, Yeezy did a good deed that I cannot speak on. But a good deed is just that, whether or not we talk about it.

Shout out to YEEZY!

Shout out to Delaware!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Guess What Producer Mos Def Is Doing A Whole Album With?

2012-11-19T19:54:00.001-08:00

So, I had a rumor that’s really true, but I’m going to hold off giving the real deal. You know, I see people consistently saying “That’s not a rumor, if its real” or whatever. People want me to post PURE RUMORS, as if there is a such thing in the Twitter/Facebook era so I’m going to hold off…jerks.

Mos Def aka Yasiin Bey is working on an album…with a famed and acclaimed producer. I would say, because I know its true, but not, because then it would no longer be a rumor. Anyway, I will give a hint. The producer is from the South! This should make for an interesting combo indeed and I think could potentially make a great album.

50 Cent Aiming To Bringing “Best Fights To Audiences” Across The Nation

2012-11-19T19:43:00.003-08:00

(AllHipHop News) Business mogul 50 Cent recently revealed plans for his latest venture, SMS Promotions, a new boxing company that has officially been granted a promoters license by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Earlier in the year, SMS Promotions was also granted a license in New York, paving the way for 50 Cent’s new company to compete in the boxing arena on a major level.

In July, 50 Cent revealed that SMS Promotions had already acquired four top contenders: Yuriorkis Gamboa, Andre Dirrell, Billy Dib and Celestino Caballero.

“I love boxing and have always been a big fan of the sport, so it feels especially great for me to be involved with the game at this level. My goal is to build SMS Promotions into one of boxing’s most respected promoters and bring the best fights to audiences nationwide,” Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson said.

50 Cent and SMS Promotions have teamed with Bob Arum’s Top Rank Promotions to promote Yuriorkis Gamboa’s upcoming fight with a to-be-determined fighter on the Pacquiao-Marquez IV undercard on December 8, 2012.

The bout will be broadcast live on HBO Pay-Per-View from the MGM Grand Garden Arena, in Las Vegas.

50 Cent is already promoting the brand aggressively to his 807,000 followers on Instagram.

This morning (November 17), 50 Cent posted a picture of himself standing with Oscar De La Hoya’s son.

Non Hip-Hop Rumors: RiRi Jacks CB! Kanye West Fights To Buy His Own Sex Tape!

2012-11-15T14:41:00.004-08:00

Chris Brown and Rihanna have denied that they are dating again. At least, CB wants people to just mind their business. Nevertheless, the two of them continue to dominate headlines and general f**kery. This time, it seems that Rihanna has stolen a song from Chris Brown. A DJ that produced the song, explained:

“I have a record, maybe. She wanted a song I produced. It’s a song I originally recorded with Chris Brown called ‘As Your Friend,’ but I am not supposed to say anything about it just yet because the papers aren’t signed. But the music is there, and it’s a really dope song.

When it comes to that music, RiRi don’t play play. She’s got the number 1 song out in these streets.

OH BOY YEEZY!

Kanye West has a sex tape. That’s bad. Real bad. Micheal Jackson.
Dag. I forgot all about that. Anyway, it looks like Kanye will have to buy back his own sex tape to keep it from hitting stores. According to Perez Hilton, the company even owns the copyright on the tape. How can that be? I mean, if I want to do a movie or documentary about Kanye, I need his permission, don’t I? These people find or steal a sex tape and there is a buy back? Here is what Perez is reporting.

“Kanye’s camp has been negotiating for the sex tape so he can buy back the copyright and it’s never released. The problem is that adult entertainment companies are offering huge amounts of money for rights to the tape, so Kanye and his team are working overdrive trying to work something out.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Serena Williams Goes In On Common’s New Girlfriend On Twitter!

2012-11-15T14:41:00.000-08:00

Common is allegedly in hot water with his former flame, Serena Williams, because of his new girlfriend and her Twitter-stalking ways. Serena went H.A.M. on Twitter yesterday, blasting Common’s new lady friend and referring to her as a “boy” because sources say that Serena allegedly thinks that Common’s girlfriend looks like a man. Really, Serena!!! Have you looked in the mirror lately?

Anyway, Mediatakeout snatched a screen shot of the tweets before Serena deleted them from her timeline. Check them out below:

Serena refers to Common as “The Bread” in her tweets probably because he’s the breadwinner in his new relationship and his new girlfriend is probably broke. Check out a few photos of Common and his new boo. Does she look like a man to you?

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Chris Brown Suing Drake Over The Club Brawl?

2012-11-15T14:40:00.002-08:00

Chris Brown has had a no-interview policy for a while now, but it looks like Breezy is falling back on his rule and accepting interviews. The talented singer recently did a radio interview with “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” in L.A. and finally addressed the opportunity to fight Drake for charity. Even though Breezy said he couldn’t talk about it, he still implied that if he could, he would most certainly knock Drake the hell out. Check out what he said below:

“The only reason I can’t talk about it is because we’re dealing with legal stuff. You know I’m trying to get paid and not trying to give out no information,” Brown said in an interview referring to the Drake incident. “We don’t talk about other guys. We just focus on the music. [Was it more of us hitting one another?] Nah. It’s none of that. I’m more reserved and I box, so it would have been none of that. You know exactly what that means. [laughs]“

It’s pretty interesting that Chris Brown said that he’s “trying to get paid” – does that mean that Breezy is suing Drake over the club brawl? It sure sounds that way to me. I guess instead of giving Drake physical pain, Breezy is trying to hurt his pockets.

Sidenote – Breezy also spoke about going to the Barclay’s Center with Rihanna to see the Jay-Z concert. Rumors were swirling that Jay-Z had a stern talking to Breezy and threatened to end his career….

According to Chris Brown, although he did talk to Jay-Z in the green room at Barclay’s, Jay never threatened him.

“No. No. No. Me and him had…It just was a lot of people,” says Brown. “It’s like a green room, backstage, you come and say what up to everybody and it was cordial…It was real respectful. It was nothing like that.”

You can catch the entire interview below, where Breezy also answers a question about who he would take to a deserted island with him , Karrueche or Rihanna. His answer is pretty interesting, check it out below:

Swizz Beatz recently donated clothes and shoes for the relief effort for victims of hurricane Sandy.

2012-11-15T14:38:00.003-08:00

The war of words between rappers Meek Mill and Cassidy continues to escalate, the latest coming earlier this morning (November 15), via Twitter.

The beef started when Meek Mill offered up $100,000 to witness Murder Mook and Cassidy battle.

According to Meek, his original tweet was taken out of context, and many thought he was offering $100,000 to battle any rapper.

Several rappers accepted the challenge, including Cassidy.

Meek and Cassidy went back and forth last night over the social network, hurling insults at each other’s careers, while promising their fans new music to address the situation between the Philadelphia natives.

“You can’t pave the way wit “come 2 my hotel” @CASSIDY_LARSINY,” Meek tweeted. “Get ya shots off now cause tomar ima drop some new shit and we gone forget about ya again.”

Cassidy also revealed he would be delivering a new track today.

“I been popping for over a decade! Ni**as get 1 year in and get carried away.. I paved the way for these dudes.. Ni**as is scared,” Cassidy tweeted. “That would be the easiest 100k I ever made in my life.. It’s like taking candy from a baby..

“I’m putting out something new in a few mins “The Diary of a Hustla” I’m talking that s**t.. Just recorded it!!#Ni**asIsInTroublee smh”

Lil Scrappy was supposed to perform at a nightclub named Club Vizion, but when he arrived at the venue, a dispute arose with the promoter, who could not pay the rapper. According to TMZ.com, Lil Scrappy agreed to do a meet and greet with fans, since the owner of the club paid him a small amount of money. When he went back to the hotel, his reservation had been canceled. According to reports, police were called in to assist Lil Scrappy’s removal, while the rapper claims he left voluntarily.

Skylar Grey heads to the backwoods of Detroit in the video for her first single “C’mon Let Me Ride” featuring Eminem. The singer-songwriter has revealed photos from the shoot, which took place last month in Em’s hometown.

Skylar shows a sexier side, wearing a bra and trucker hat as she lounges in a chair. Some of the residents are seen gathering around a BBQ and grilling a squirrel, while one older lady throws up the middle finger.

The song, produced by Alex Da Kid, samples Queen’s “Bicycle Race,” and will hit iTunes on December 11. “The song is something totally unexpected from me,” said Skylar.“Sometimes I can’t even believe that it came out of my mouth. But it did. And soon, it will be in your ears.”

Eminem has signed on to executive produce Skylar’s forthcoming debut Don’t Look Down, due next spring.
