Young Money’s first lady Nicki Minaj is getting a lot of support these days from Hip Hop artists young and old. Jay-Z, Kanye and Diddy have all shown their support for Hip Hop’s craziest rapper.

One of Hip Hop’s original pioneers, Rev Run, stopped by Axe Lounge this past weekend in Southampton, NY and gave his take on Ms. Minaj. Rev also talked about another rising star, this time from his family — son Diggy Simmons.

50 Cent has been having one hell of a time on Twitter, dissing Diddy, talking smack about Shyne and even going in on his grandma for making him take out the trash.

Here’s what 50 had to say about Twitter:

“You know what’s interesting? I look at that platform as another place to express yourself in a different way, to entertain. Not necessarily to create a perception of your actual character, but to be entertaining. When other people used it, it was boring because they were trying to be safe, be politically correct. They gave you the presentation they were taught to give you after they were prepped for publicity. What I gave you was some of the things I’ve seen that were entertaining topic-wise — things that made me laugh. I think it’s healthy to smile. Even though I may have the persona as one of the darkest people in hip-hop culture, you seen me smile as often as — probably more often as — somebody you seen placed in that category.”

Funny how he says that he’s on Twitter to be “entertaining”. Yeah, your entertaining many of us who think your a foul.

Check out B.O.B.‘s interview on Chelsea Lately where he discusses his 5 VMA nods, his hit song “Airplanes”, opening up for Jay-Z and Eminem in Detroit and his take on T.I. and Tiny’s arrest.

Press play.

Many of you probably know that back in the day Mike Tyson and Tupac Shakur were fairly close friends. In fact, Tupac had been watching Tyson in a fight just hours before he was gunned down on Las Vegas boulevard in ’96.

Tyson says his biggest regret to this day was not bonding with Tupac over a joint. Mike tells the AP, “He always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did. That’s my biggest regret.”

Tyson says he never smoked weed because he was afraid boxing officials would find out about his smoking habit if he indulged it.

Interesting stuff eh?

She better be up in church right now rejoicing for this!

Foxy Brown won’t have to serve any probation or jail time for her altercation with her neighbor back in July. Brown was arrested and charged with public lewdness and harassment after a run-in with her neighbor Arlene Raymond on July 10th in Brooklyn, NY.

Yesterday (Sept. 7th) a grand jury at Brooklyn Criminal Court failed to indict Brown on two felony charges, and three out of four misdemeanors.

Foxy told the New York Daily News, “I’m so happy, I’m just very happy. Never once did I worry about this.”

Really now? You weren’t worried about returning to prison for another year? We doubt that….you were definitely scared.

Now let’s see what happens to Foxy’s brother Gavin who was arrested last month for trying to charge $8,000 worth of items on stolen credit cards at the Hermes store in NYC.

Check out the new video from Bruno Mars for his single “Just The Way You Are”.

According to a Twitter employee, Justin Bieber currently uses 3% of Twitter resources at any moment. Bieber is so popular on Twitter that he has “racks of servers dedicated to him.”

Maybe Bieber should think about investing in Twitter. Now that would become a #trending topic.

This past weekend Justin Bieber had a concert in Allentown, PA. Midway through his performance Bieber invited Diggy Simmons to hit the stage and perform the remix to “Baby”.

Bieber and Simmons need to get into the studio together. We bet they could throw down a mean freestyle.
