NICK CANNON NOT PLANNING TO DISS EMINEM IN COMEDY SKIT.

Entertainer NICK CANNON is playing down press reports about his renewed war of words with EMINEM, insisting he's not poking fun at the rapper in his upcoming TV comedy special - but the fuss over their feud. New dad Cannon took aim at his rap rival in 2009 when he accused the superstar of disrespecting his wife Mariah Carey in the lyrics of Relapse album track Bagpipes From Baghdad. In the tune, Eminem opens up about an alleged romance with Carey, rapping, "Mariah whatever happened to us/Why did we ever have to break-up?" But when he turned on Cannon in the song, urging him to "back the f**k up," adding, "I'm not playing, I want her back, you punk...." and "I wish you luck with that whore", the entertainer decided it was time to fight back.

In a post on his blog, Cannon wrote, "(Eminem is) still obsessed with my wife, the same female that wouldn't let him get to second base from eight years ago." Cannon called Eminem "Slim Lamey" and offered him a challenge, writing, "Man to man, let's meet up and deal with this like adults... This is my invitation to you, whenever and wherever you like, sir. So when you come out of your introverted hiding place and ask your bodyguards if you can go out and play by yourself, I'm here Pimp!" And he further teased Eminem by stating, "Your legacy has now been tainted from this day forth! You will now be known as the rapper who lost to corny-a** Nick Cannon!"

The angry post was later removed, but sources at U.S. cable network Showtime recently revealed the comedian would take aim at Eminem again in his special, which debuts in America on Saturday (14May11). He insists that's not the case, stating, "I'm not taking him on. When you watch it (the special), you see what it is. It's really me talking about how silly the entire thing was. "I kinda come from... the character of my grandfather... and how he felt about me 'beefing' in hip-hop... It wasn't really a real beef. "He's (grandfather) kind of an old-school gangster, so (he'd) talk about how he would have handled it."

The drama with Slim Shady never stops! Sigh!

YAWN: FLOCKA FLAME DENIES FEUD WITH GUCCI MANE.

Not like I care but Rapper WAKA FLOCKA FLAME has dismissed rumours of a feud with GUCCI MANE, insisting "everything's great" between the pair despite his former hip-h op mentor firing the newcomer's mother as his manager. The O Let's Do It hitmaker, who rose to fame as a member of Mane's So Icey team, hit headlines when he recently told Vibe magazine the MCs "don' t talk anymore". The comment sparked rumours of a falling out after Mane ended his working relationship with Debra Antney, Flocka Flame's mother and manager, earlier this year (10).

But Flocka Flame insists he harbours no hard feelings towards Mane, blaming his "super busy" schedule for their lack of contact. He tells Atlanta, Georgia radio station Hot 107.9: "I don't think it's no split (sic). We couldn't meet each other on a business level... or a personal level. Whatever the level is, I don't know. I'm going this way an d (he's) going that way and we both killin' these folk. That's just what it is."

He adds, "I'm not that excited about going to a major label. They would have to make it so I'm set for the rest of my life. They want too much for the little that they're giving.

SOUR FLAVOR: Vanilla Ice threatened SUICIDE in last month's wife argument!

LATEST: Rapper VANILLA ICE repeatedly threatened to kill himself in a bizarre 911 call his wife made during a violent row last month. Ice - real name Robert Van Winkle - was eventually cleared of domestic battery after the bitter confrontation at their Palm Beach, Florida home on 10 April. A tape recording of the call his wife Laura made to emergency services on the night has been leaked to TMZ.com. It reveals her desperate pleas for a divorce and his threats to end his life.

At one point the operator asks if there are guns in the house, Laura confirms there are, and Van Winkle is heard saying, "I don't need a gun." Later in the seven minute-long conversation, Laura told the operator, "All I really want is a divorce. He is too controlling," and Van Winkle can be heard saying, "I'm going to kill myself, I swear to God." Police were dispatched to the scene and Van Winkle was arrested. Laura later retracted her statement, accusing him of hitting and kicking her, and charges were dropped.

SQ"WEEZED" OUT: L'il Wayne "Weezy" dumps half Dollar from his tour!!!

Rapper LIL' WAYNE has confirmed he won't be touring with 50 CENT on his current tour his G-UNIT band - insisting he hopes to take to the stage with R&B singer KEYSHIA COLE. Lil' Wayne - real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. - was rumoured to be in talks with the In Da Club hitmaker about a possible support slot on their world tour. But Carter insists it isn't going to happen and he is now looking to tour with Cole instead. He tells MTV.com, "That one (touring with G-Unit), I don't think is gonna work no more. It was something that ain't went right. I think I might go out with Keyshia Cole.

"You're bringing two different types of people in there. You got people coming to soothe their souls with Keyshia, and you got people who wanna throw their hands up with me. It's like listening to the radio. When you listen to the radio, and your top-five or top-eight songs come on, it's hip-hop, it's R&B. ... I think you gonna get that from me and Keyshia and whatever in between that." And Cole has also expressed interest in touring with Carter, saying, "I'mma (sic) kidnap him and take him on tour with me. "I think it's a little harder to get him on the stage than it is to get me. We gotta make sure we get together on that."

HALF DOLLARAMA: 50 Cent blaming Missy Elliott for Olivia's EXIT!

Rapper 50 CENT has blamed MISSY ELLIOT for the departure of his protege OLIVIA from his G-Unit record label - making light of the GET UR FREAK ON star's alleged sexual preferences as the reason behind the move. 50 Cent - real name Curtis Jackson - signed Olivia in 2004, but after the release of just three singles, she was dropped from G-Unit Records last year.

And 50 insists things started to go wrong when Olivia collaborated with Missy Elliot on her single Cherry Pop - joking that Missy's close personal relationship with his protege resulted in the breakdown of his own ties with the rising star. He says, "She (Olivia) went to work with Missy and it got kinda crazy like. It got crazy because Missy was trying to own her a little bit... I think Missy hit that." The rapper is disappointed his project with Olivia never worked out and is determined to take more tips from fellow music mogul Jay-Z - who has successfully launched the careers of stars like R&B singer Rihanna.

He adds, "I made so many sacrifices based on people I brought around. I need to take a page outta Jay-Z's book because he don't (sic) compromise himself at all for them." Missy Elliot has long been dogged by rumours she is a lesbian, but has refused to comment publicly on her rumoured sexuality.

STORMED OFF: Why did Beyonce get mad at Jay-Z at the party on Wednesday?

BEYONCE KNOWLES and SHAWN ‘JAY-Z’ CARTER had a marital fall-out during a gig - after the hip-hop mogul told a DJ to stop playing her hit, CRAZY IN LOVE. Carter was performing to a sold-out crowd at the Hollywood Bowl on Wednesday (16Apr08) when he decided to rap over some popular songs. The show’s DJ began to play the 2003 track - which Carter co-wrote and performs on - when the rapper grabbed the microphone and jokingly yelled, "F**k that. Sorry Bey but f**k that - let’s play something else." Knowles - who was watching the gig from the side of the stage - then reportedly stormed off, before Carter made his apologies to the star.

But all must have been forgiven - later the pair were openly cuddling and being affectionate at a private dinner for 40 friends and family at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel’s Tropicana Bar after the show. Marriage going on the rocks already?

Ray J blasts Bobby Brown back!

Myra Panache reports that R&B star Ray J has hit back at love rival Bobby Brown over jibes about him in his upcoming book. Ray J has been dating Brown’s ex-wife Whitney Houston since the couple split last year (07) and he doesn’t appreciate Brown calling him a “little man” in his new book. Although he has nothing personal against his girlfriend’s ex-husband, he urges Brown to stop dwelling on the negative about his marriage to Houston. Ray J tells In Touch magazine, “I think what Bobby’s saying in his book is just ridiculous. He should really go back in and pray and figure out what he should do on the positive tip.”

Evil Half Dollar? 50 Cent boots ex-girlfriend and kid out of the house and calls himself a winner in COURT!

Update: After court last week, Shaniqua Tompkins was booted out of the house in a cvourt order. Some bloggers actually think that is OK and calling the poor woman a gold digger etc. What about the child? According to FOX News, Fifty paid about $2.4 million for the house, one of the largest in the Long Island town of Dix Hills. Tompkins filed a law suite accusing the rapper of breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Tompkins attorney Paul Catsandonis stated that 50 broke a promise to give Tompkins and their son a home.

"I've been with 50 for a very long time," Tompkins said to the press outside the courtroom, before the verdict was read. "He's a very evil and abusive man and that's why I left him in the first place. Any man that can evict his own child out of a house is evil. After I took care of him and I worked when he wasn't doing anything. He's a very evil and disgruntled man. I just hope God bless him."

Below is the video after court of Ms Tompkins speaking to the press. Bear in mind there are some French subtitles as a French reporter owned the footage.

Radar Magazine Online: 50 Cent planning to kick his kid and baby mama out of his property!

Damn 50! What's this? What about the kid? I'm not surprised at some of you rappers anymore. Juvenile couldn't even attend Jelani's funeral. Why can't y'all be like Diddy? Poor Marquise!

“Today, hip-hop/bottled-water impresario Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson will ask that a judge evict his ex-girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, and the couple’s 10-year-old son, Marquise Jackson, from the rapper’s property in Long Island, New York.

In February a judge hacked Tomkins’ monthly support checks from $25,000 to $6,700 (her fault, mostly). Tompkins and Marquis were allowed to remain in Jackson’s home on condition that the money be used in part to find a new residence. Fiddy says they didn’t even try and that Tompkins is taking advantage of the situation.”

Closing Arguments: Remy Ma fired gun by ACCIDENT?

A lawyer for Grammy-nominated rapper Remy Ma conceded Monday that his client shot a friend she suspected of stealing $3,000 from her but argued that the shooting was an accident — a claim the prosecutor disputed. Why the hell wasn't this said all along during the trial?

Biggie, Diddy Knew Tupac Would Be Ambushed In 1994, Alleges Los Angeles Times Reporter.

Los Angeles Times journalist Chuck Philips has more surprising allegations concerning musical icons Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G. (born Christopher Wallace) and Sean "Diddy" Combs. In 1994, Tupac Shakur was ambushed, beaten and shot at the Quad Recording Studios in New York. He insisted that friends of Sean 'Diddy' Combs were behind it. New information supports him.



Sorry about the discretionary morgue photo that leaked to the media in 1996. I work in the media and don't ever call me a blogger. "Professional blogger is OK and I mean it." We report news here. Many people knew this all along but there was no proof! Does this matter now? Biggie's dead, TuPac's dead above and life goes on or does it? Try telling that to Afeni Shakur. If I were Diddy, I would get some extra security and so should this reporter.


Diddy's statement to the media is

“This story is beyond ridiculous and completely false. Neither Biggie nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during or after it happened. It is a complete lie to suggest that there was any involvement by Biggie or myself. I am shocked that the Los Angeles Times would be so irresponsible as to publish such a baseless and completely untrue story.” The madness continues here.

NBC is extremely furious with R&B Singer Mariah Carey!

American television network NBC is apparently furious with Mariah Carey, her manager Benny Medina and her representative at Def Jam because they promised the singer would perform on 'Today' to promote her new album 'E=MC2' but is instead going on archrival ABC's 'Good Morning America'. Pagesix.com quoted a source as saying: 'Every morning show wanted Carey on for her new album, so Benny started negotiating. He demanded that 'Today' promote her fragrance and also give her a guest-star role on 'My Name is Earl.' They agreed.'

But her 'My Name Is Earl' part, which was to coincide with the album release, was put off when it was decided the album needed work.

'It was supposed to come out in November, then it was pushed back until February, and now the release date is April 15. The entire time, Benny told 'Today' it would get Carey for its concert series on Rockefeller Plaza. But then he stopped returning calls. Turns out, he had done a side deal behind everyone's back with 'Good Morning America' - after NBC had agreed to all of his demands.' However, Medina denies he ever promised 'Today' that Carey would give a concert on Rockefeller Plaza.

'If they can show me an e-mail from anyone committing to the concert, I will personally pay for the entire production myself,' he said. They are all one CRAZY bunch of folks!

Hip-Hossip is the first to give you a statement from the radio station where DRU HILL feuded!

UPDATE: It's 11.35am ET in Toronto and I left a message for Marc Clarke of the Big Phat Morning Show at 92Q Jams in Baltimore and he was so kind to call me back so quickly in Toronto. Marc told me what happened was REAL and not a joke! It's no PR stunt as I and many thought. It was not rehearsed and videotaped twice. I know it was edited for YouTube because of major profanities when everyone got heated up?

Clarke stated "Woody said God had called him to minister and that's what he wanted to do. That is the core part of the feud that happened in the studios."

As you saw on the video, Clarke was interviewing them live when this happened. Sisqo then busted out the door into his car and a scuffle ensued between Nokio and Woody he told me. "Everyone was not in a good mood when Woody made the statement and it all started" Clarke said. Meanwhile after sharing my personal angle of Woody's life.....his mother's death. Clarke thought that was an angle that may have changed his mind again last minute in the studio. Sisqo replied "why didn't you say this last night." I will be reporting this on Canada's CBC radio and TV entertainment news later today. Thanks to Marc Clarke of 92Q Jams, the #1 station in all demos in Baltimore years straight...... for calling me.

KEMI'S RANTORAMA: I remember when I was a broadcast student, I would call the station every morning on air practicing to be an entertainment reporter and will take over their morning show to recap the Grammys, Oscars, Billboards etc. Marc and his former co-host Troy always let me do my thing over the phone and look.... today I have done a lot of entertainment reporting. Thought I should tell you this. Keep your dreams alive. When he called my office today, he had no idea who he was calling. I have not seen Marc since 2001. It was quite a phone reunion! A wonderful man from a dynamic family of broadcasters. His beautiful wife is a Fox-TV broadcaster too. Sisqo, Nokio, Woody, Jazz , please talk this over thoroughly! Is Scola still in the group? Below is the video if you haven't seen it. It is also here on 92Q's website. This was my station for 15 years and they are now streaming live too. I listened all morning! It's actually also in my list of the best HH stations on the right.



The Initial Story this morning: It wasn't a PR stunt, I know Konan and even Marc Clarke in there who interviewed them. I lived in B-More 15 years out of my 24 in the USA. The Late Mrs Green was my 16 year old son's 1st grade teacher. We were all like family. Woody's mom had cancer then she stopped coming to school and eventually died. Woody went into gospel songs then and became closer to God. He also began ministering. Memories.....I remember when the Dru boys showed up in a limo and performed in the cafeteria at the school. Woody and company did it for the kids. So he says he wants to Minister and Sisqo is pissed off and some fighting starts between Nokio and Woody with Jazz trying to separate them. Thanks to Sandra Rose in Atlanta for the classic picture and to Lamar Tyler of Fox-DC for the tip!

Snoop Dogg, Priority Records Ordered To Settle $2 Million Suit!

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge told attorneys for rapper Snoop Dogg and his former label, Priority Records, that they have three weeks to settle a dispute brought forth by Snoop or it will go to trial. Snoop wants his damn money!


Meanwhile, he blasts Oprah again!

Snoop Dogg has slammed U.S. talk show queen Oprah Winfrey after she branded him a misogynist. Last year (07), Winfrey named the rapper, real name Calvin Broadus, as a prime offender in perpetuating a negative image of women through hip-hop without inviting him on-air. And the star insists he was desperate to have the opportunity to defend himself on the show, as he doesn’t believe her accusations were accurate.

The 36-year-old says, "I don’t like her no more. I really was offended, because I kind of like her. Liked her. I’m very articulate, very intellectual. She didn’t even get a chance to even know me."
But Broadus insists any misogynistic ways he once had are firmly behind him, as his new work "is for the women" to make up for his past misdemeanors. He adds, "(I want to) give the ladies something, because I’ve been so mean and so rude." CAN'T OPRAH JUST BE LIKE ELLEN AND LARRY KING? SHE DID THIS THING WITH LETTERMAN FOR YEARS AND THEN THE FEUD ENDED AT BROADWAY!

Rapper Fat Joe wants to break Rapper 50`s new teeth!

The Terror Squad rapper is reported to have filmed a video vowing to break Fiddy's "f**king new teeth". Fat Joe, real name Joseph Cartagena has made a comment more at home in wrestling then Hip Hop, saying about 50... "He's mad. We never fought a one-on-one. He should win. I'm being honest with you. "You can put your money on that guy. I just want to bust his f**king new teeth he got. Wide-open"

All these stupid childish rappers have started again. Fat Joe should be concerned about his weight and 50 concerned about getting shot again 9 times!
Joe aka Joey crack continued "What he doesn't understand is that Fat Joe is straight brave heart. I'm a warrior, win or lose… I'm a warrior." 50 Cent is unlikely to sit back and take that, so let's see what unfolds...
