SNOOP DOGG ENTERS CIGAR BISNESS


The rapper partners up with his favorite line of cigarillo.


Snoop Dogg will be taking his talents into the cigar business.


Early Thursday (January 12), the rapper revealed that he will be partnering with new premium quality tobacco cigar brand, Executive Branch to produce the Executive Branch Cigarillos.


“Throughout my career I have been lucky enough to travel the world and try all different types of tobacco products,” the Doggfather said via a statement. “During my travels throughout South America and the Caribbean, I was fortunate to encounter this tobacco company, Executive Branch and was so impressed by their commitment to quality [far superior than all others], I knew I had to bring them to the States for all my fans to enjoy.”

KANYE WEST'S FANS MAKE AMBER ROSE CRY


Amber Rose got a little emotional on MTV RapFix.


During one of her many media stops this week in promotion of her single, “Fame,” Kanye West’s ex-girlfriend and Wiz Khalifa’s new lady broke into tears after telling host Sway that she gets bullied by Kanye’s fans.


“I have people throwing things at me in the street because they’re fans of Kanye,” Amber said before she started to cry on set. “Take your time,” Sway advised her before passing her a tissue.


“I’m just crying because I don’t deserve to be bullied like that,” she continued as she sobbed. “I’m a nice girl, I don’t bother anybody. I keep my mouth shut because I don’t want any trouble.”


I think kanye needs to talk to his fans about that cos she deserves to be treated better,what do you think?

NYC Mayor Defends Jay-Z & Beyoncé + Pictures Of 5star Hospital Room Beyonce Gave Birth



As Jay-Z and Beyoncé welcome the birth of their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, many controversial claims have surfaced regarding the celebrity couple receiving special treatment from Lenox Hill Hospital. But amidst public outrage, both the Carters and Lenox Hill have found themselves a surprise supporter: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.


According to Perez Hilton, the Mayor’s stance on the issue represents his background as an entrepreneur, stating, “Let’s step back a little bit here. If [the hospital] got paid a lot of money and it lets them provide services to other people who don’t have insurance or can’t afford it, I’m not so sure it’s a bad thing. Full-paying patients are very valuable to hospitals in this day and age.”


Bloomberg also reiterated the importance of  “an enormous revenue source,” especially during an era where budgets continue to tighten.


Lenox Hill Hospital’s executive director Frank Danza spoke out Wednesday (January 12) to clear the rumors, clarifying that contrary to the chatter in the media, no complaints were received from patients. According to Danza, “No security plan that we or the Carters’ security team put in place would have prevented or delayed families from gaining access.


Though the hospital continues to deny rumors that special privileges were given, it is reported that Mr. and Mrs. Carter paid approximately $1.3 million for an entire wing to be sanctioned off just for them, a claim Danza also denies, adding that B was admitted into a freshly renovated executive maternity suite that cost up to $800 a night. The room came equipped with four flat-screen TVs and a kitchenette, among other top-notch amenities. TMZ got a hold of photos today (January 12) . Here are some pictures of the 5star hotel hospital room beyonce gave birth(courtesy TMZ):





RIHANNA ‘CAN’T LET GO’ OF CHRIS BROWN


It’s been nearly three years since Chris Brown laid into Rihanna just before the Grammys, causing a very messy and very public break-up. But according to sources, the ‘Rude Boy’ songstress still hasn’t let go of her first love.


In fact, the source alleges that Rihanna feels if she can’t be happy, Breezy shouldn’t be happy either. “She’s trying to break up Chris and his girlfriend, Karrueche [Tran],” the unnamed source reports to Life and Style. “Chris is happy, but Rihanna keeps playing her games to make trouble. It’s become an issue.”


Rumor has it that Rihanna is pulling out all the stops to get Chris to notice her, even showing up wherever he is and ‘secretly’ spouting her love for him all over Twitter. “Not only has she initiated a Twitter conversation with Chris for all to see, but she has gone to see him,” the insider claims. “She stopped by his studio recently — twice. She’s also calling and texting him a lot. She won’t let go.”


Of course, take all of this with a grain of salt, as apparently the ‘source’ is a friend of Chris Brown, making their claims fairly one-sided. From what we can tell, Rihanna has taken her public misfortune and spun it into music gold — and when she’s not rocking No. 1 singles, she’s party hopping all over the globe. We’d say she’s doing just fine on her own.

BLUE IVY MAKES BILLBOARD CHART HISTORY


This will come as no surprise, but Beyonce and Jay-Z‘s five-day-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, is already a star.


Just hours after being brought into the world, proud papa Jay-Z rushed into the recording studio with audio of his little miracle, breathing, cooing and crying from the hospital. The track was tacked onto the end of his newly released tune, ‘Glory,’ which has already made its own entrance onto the Billboard music charts this week, coming in at No. 74.


Since Blue Ivy Carter (aka B.I.C.) is credited on the song, she makes chart history by becoming the youngest person to appear on the industry based charts. Not too shabby considering the song was only released a couple of days ago.


‘Glory’ marks the week’s highest new song to enter the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, averaging a 1.7 million audience impressions on the 54 stations spinning the track, according to Nielsen BDS. But that’s not all that is interesting about the song and the numbers. Blue Ivy was born over the weekend — Saturday, Jan. 7, and ironically enough, ‘Glory’ happens to mark Jay-Z’s 107th career entry on the charts.


Numbers have always played a significant role in Jay-Z and Beyonce’s relationship, even down to the naming of their daughter.

Jay-Z To Re-Open Renovated NYC 40/40 Club




After welcoming his first born, Blue Ivy Carter, over the weekend, Hov went right back to business, first announcing he will be the spokesperson for the new Duracell Powermat and now preparing to reveal the re-opening of his New York City club, 40/40.


Last year, the NYC spot shut down for renovations. And in September, the club was blasted for not meeting area labor standards. Now, according to hiphopwired.com, the club will hold an exclusive, invite-only event on Wednesday, January 18, to premiere the revamped venue. The locale will be open to the public shortly after.



Details on the newly renovated Manhattan venue's upgraded features have hit the Internet.
 Some of the renovations, implemented by designer Jeffrey Beers, include a new amber lit bar top, an illuminated bottle display tower, leather wall installations, huge LED TV's, new VIP lounges, oak wood floors and a new Broadway Grand Entrance. The original reopening was scheduled for November, but the Brooklyn born rapper and expectant father wanted to make sure everything is perfect before he re-opens the doors. The overall vision is to capture the "energy, grandeur, and opulence of NYC nightlife." (Haute Living)
As of now, the invite-only guest list features Big Apple sports stars from the New York Yankees and New York Giants. 
The Flatiron-area club underwent massive renovations, reportedly in the neighborhood of $10 million, since closing last year. 




Tyga Arrested and Released in Las Vegas



Tyga was arrested last weekend in Las Vegas after cops discovered he had a warrant out for his arrest.


According to TMZ, it was during a routine traffic stop that cops discovered the “Rack City” rapper had a warrant for four other traffic incidents, including driving without a license, registration violations and unlawful acts of financial responsibility.


The 22-year-old Compton rapper was arrested, booked and jailed at the Clark County Detention Center. He was released the next day on his own recognizance.

JUSTIN BIEBER & SELENA GOMEZ CAUGHT HAVING ’2 MUCH FUN'




Justin Bieber posted a candid photo of himself with Selena Gomez caught in a hilarious moment on his Instagram. “2 much fun,” read the caption, an apt description for the pair’s laughter.


There’s no further explanation from Bieber about the pic, which looks as though it was taken by a third party and was edited with the X-Pro II filter. It was posted on Monday at 8:44 pm.


“2 much fun” seems to be the best way to describe the couple’s relationship right now. Although those baby rumors are still out there, we haven’t heard much lately about the state of Justin and Selena’s partnership. When the tabloids aren’t even trying to create any drama about your relationship, things must be going well.


Bieber’s instagram features 241 pics, but glimpses of Gomez on his feed are rare. He seems to prefer posting fun photos with glimpses from his everyday life, like spelling “no fear” out of pretzels or pretending to drive a forklift backstage.

LOON FORCED TO REMAIN OVERSEAS FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING



Former Bad Boy Records rapper Loon is reportedly being forced to remain in Belgium after getting arrested last November on drug trafficking charges.



Details of a court's decision in Belgium's capital have emerged online.
The American rapper Loon must remain in custody. The grand jury in Brussels confirmed the decision of the chambers, as has his lawyer Isa Gultaslar. The lawyer took note of the decision Thursday by the AI. The pantry was on Dec. 13 ruled he temporarily stay behind bars. Gultaslar appealed against this decision before. The case was argued Monday. The lawyer is now considering going to the Supreme Court against the decision of the AI. (Life. Glam & Gossip)
In late November, reports of Loon's Brussels arrest began spreading.
So much for being on his deen. While entering Belgium last Friday, former rapper Loon, now known as Amir Junaid Muhadith was arrested while at a Brussels airport for drug trafficking. Various sources report the arrest stems from an indictment back in May for distributing heroin three years ago in North Carolina. (Rap Radar)

NICK CANNON & MARIAH CAREY HAVE ‘STRONGER BOND’ AFTER KIDNEY FAILURE SCARE


Sometimes a drama, medical or otherwise, brings a couple closer together. Such is the case for Nick Cannon and wife Mariah Carey after he suffered mild kidney failure. Cannon is back at home with his wife and dem babies, but he has to make a few changes to improve his health! His dad Jason revealed that Cannon and Carey are now tighter than ever in the wake of the medical maladies. ‘Til death do us part for Nick and Mariah, that’s for sure.


Cannon Sr. told UsWeekly that “Nick and Mariah have a very strong bond. If anything, this unexpected illness has made them closer than ever and appreciate one another even more. She would stay in the hospital overnight to support him. So they managed to cope even though Nick was pretty sick. But he is glad to be home now and his whole family is pleased about that also.”


He also said that his son was able to navigate his scary illness by keeping a positive attitude, something Carey also spoke about during the ordeal. Mr. Cannon revealed, “He took his mind off things by joking with the nurses and doctors and things like that.” Somehow that doesn’t surprise us, since Cannon is so gregarious.



NEW DADDY JAY-Z BECOMES FACE OF DURACELL POWERMATT


After welcoming his first child, Blue Ivy Carter, to the world over the weekend, reports have surfaced that rap mogul Jay-Z has signed on to become the spokesman for Duracell Powermat.


Revealed on monday, Mr. Shawn Carter inked a multi-year international deal with Duracell Powermat to become the spokesman for the joint venture.


“I believe in the future of wireless energy and I believe that Duracell Powermat is the company to bring on the revolution,” he revealed in a press release. “I’m partnering with Duracell Powermat because they’re providing the solutions for the future.”


The business move between Procter & Gamble’s Duracell and Powermat Technologies is aimed at popularizing their wireless charging technology to the masses.


“Jay-Z is power personified. He inspires millions of people all over the world on a daily basis with his music and his story,” says Ran Poliakine, CEO of Powermat Technologies. “There is no better face or voice that can move people to adopt a new paradigm in power delivery.

Noah “40 Shebib, Says Drake Has No Competition With Kanye West


Despite previous chatter that Drake’s camp and Kanye West’s team have beef, Drizzy’s friend and longtime-producer Noah “40? Shebib says there is no competition between the two.


“I look up to that guy like crazy,” 40 told MTV News. “I always have and I always will. That’s someone who’s carved out a sound for rap music a couple of times, who has really influenced and changed the game as an individual. It would be crazy to say there’s competition.”


In the August/September 2010 issue of Vibe, 40 said that ‘Ye accused him of “borrowing” his sound. But the producer says people should understand the difference between stealing another artist’s style and being influenced by that artist.


“You’re supposed to be a hybrid,” he says. “When you got T.I. and Nas and Jay-Z and Wayne and Kanye and Eminem, all these different types of rappers from different places and so on and so forth, I would expect a couple of years after that a new rapper would comes out who incorporates all of those people. Because that’s the evolution of it and that’s what will always happen, so I don’t even look at it as like biting or stealing or this or that.”


40 added that, regardless of whatever the issue may be, he is a fan of Kanye and is thankful for his influence.


“I’m grateful to any and everybody that’s ever influenced me, including Mr. West,” he said.


'Blue Ivy Carter' Called ‘Satan’ By Baptist Church Vandal


Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s baby, Blue Ivy Carter, hasn’t been on Earth for more than a week and is already being deemed satanic.


According to a sign in front of West End, North Carolina’s Beulah Baptist church, which was defaced by a vandal, Bey and Jay’s new bundle of joy is actually the devil incarnated. “Beyonce had her baby. Satan is on Earth,” the sign reads.


The pastor of the church, who insist his team had nothing to do with the apocalyptic message, tells TMZ he discovered the vandalism on monday (January 9) after receiving numerous complaints from locals, and removed it immediately. Lets hope she aint the devil as shes called....

Grammy-Award winning singer-songwriter PJ Morton signed to YMCMB



It just doesn’t stop for YMCMB and their wave of signings.


Earlier today (January 10) the hip-hop conglomerate announced the signing of Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, PJ Morton to the roster. The New Orleans native most recently comes from the multi-platinum selling Pop group, Maroon 5 and has released about five independent albums to date.


“I’m very happy to be a part of such a force in the music industry. Not only that, but a label that promotes being creative and being who you are,” an ecstatic Morton stated about the signing. “I couldn’t have asked for more.”


The signing comes after the announcement of former American Idol contestant Chris Richardson becoming a new member to the YMCMB/Cash Money roster.

JUSTIN BIEBER COVERS V MAGAZINE MUSIC ISSUE



Pop’s crown prince Justin Bieber graces the cover of V, the fashion mag’s 75th issue, which is also its music issue. While Sky Ferreira posed as Madonna for a buzzed about spread, it’s the Biebs who graces the cover, offering up an intense, masculine stare and a pout while wearing a cage-knit black sweater.


For the cover, which features The Biebs holding his neck and leaning against a superimposed “V,” the teen was styled by none other than Nicola Formichetti. That name should sound familiar to pop music watchers, as he is Lady Gaga‘s stylist. So The Biebs and the Mother Monster do have something in common.


Actually, they have something further in common courtesy of this shoot. Inez & Vinoodh shot the cover and those names should also be familiar to little monsters, as the duo filmed Gaga’s ‘You & I’ fashion videos and also shot her L’Uomo Vogue cover. The Biebs is all grown up and borrowing from one of the most stylish stars on the planet as he transforms from boy to man.


The internal shots position Bieber as a leader, with a golden leaf crown and a gladiator helmet on his head. Heavy is the head that wears the pop music crown, and in these images, The Biebs takes his gig as seriously as a heart attack. Don’t the images look like yearbook photos?


The music issue of V lands on stands on Jan. 12 and should be available through March, which marks The Biebs’ 18th birthday.

NICK CANNON EXITS HOSPITAL AFTER KIDNEY SCARE


Hollywood actor/rapper Nick Cannon is finally back home and resting after working up a scare last week when his wife Mariah Carey revealed he was hospitalized for kidney complications.
According to Cannon's publicist, he is back home and in recovery mode.
Nick Cannon is out of the hospital after battling what wife Mariah Carey called "mild kidney failure." In a statement Monday, Cannon's publicist Tracy Nguyen said he's now "resting and recovering at home" and thanks everyone who was concerned about him. She says he'll return to his live morning radio show, "Rollin' with Nick Cannon," on Jan. 17.

NEW MUSIC:AMBER ROSE DEBUTS WITH 'FAME' FT WIZ KHALIFA + DOWNLOAD SONG


Video vixen Amber Rose has kept her word on premiering a new track, "Fame," featuring boyfriend/rapper Wiz Khalifa by unleashing the record online Tuesday (January 10) morning.


While Khalifa starts off the record with a witty intro, Amber finally displays her vocal singing skills.


This was what she had to say: "I'm so excited to release my first song... It's CRAZY! Working with Wiz is a dream come true; I am fortunate to have his support. This is a very personal song to me that I wanted to record for my fans. I want people to see the world from my eyes, you know, from BEHIND MY SHADES! It's my interpretation of what it means to be "FAMOUS," which is not something superficial but instead being self-confident and happy with who you are. You can feel famous everyday if you believe in yourself! (Perez Hilton)

BIRDMAN ADDRESSES DRAKE & COMMON BEEF


Cash Money Records CEO Birdman has stepped up to discuss the current beef brewing between Young Money's Drake and rap veteran Common and said there will be no diss records from his team.


While Birdman downplayed the artists' feud, he did say Cash Money is fully behind Drizzy.
"Drake the homie so we ride or die. Ain't no second questions about that, but we never been a brand to make records and want to make money off of making records of other people that's not what we about," Birdman told radio host Big Boy. "So to me, however the young homie deal with it we behind him, we supporting him 100 percent with our life so that's just what it is. Ain't no other way. Drake the lil' homie that's blood, that's family, and ain't no siding with that. It's Drake or nothing." (Power 106)

COMMON DISSES DRAKE AGAIN OVER THE RICK ROSS ‘STAY SCHEMIN’ + DOWNLOAD LINK


 Common‘s tiff with Drake started when he droped the song ‘Sweet’ from his ‘The Dreamer/The Believer’ album. Then on Friday (Jan. 6), when Rick ross released his ‘Rich Forever’ mixtape, the Internet went nuts over the song ‘Stay Schemin’,’ in which Drizzy responded to Common’s lyrical diss. Of course, Common had some more disses up his sleeve — which he shared on monday(Jan. 9).
On the Rick Ross song, Drake raps, “It bothers me when the Gods get to actin’ like the broads / I guess every team doesn’t come complete with n—as like ours / That’s why I see no need to compete with n—as like y’all / I just ask that when see me, you speak up n—as that’s all.” He then adds, “Back when a n—a reached it was for the weapon / Nowadays n—as reach just to sell their record.”
Common didn’t hesitate, at all, to come back with some lyrical fire of his own. Early Monday morning Common retaliated over Rozay’s ‘Stay Schemin” song! “I heard you say, you wasn’t a b—h ’cause you sing / You a b—h ’cause you cling / Like a b—h that’s 18,” he raps. Com then threw this lyrical jab: “You ain’t wetting anybody n—a, you Canada dry.” Ouch!
Common wasn’t being subliminal with that line — he was clearly talking about Drake. We don’t know where this beef is headed, but Com definitely threw some lyrical zingers at Drizzy that he can’t ignore.
I personally think this is going to be a nice beef cos of the lyrical prowress of the 2 rappers but what happend to drake? i thought i heard him rap in 'Successful' "diss me you`ll never hear a reply for it" or did he change his mind? lets just flow with them.
