This is a story that is kinda shocking to me in the industry. I cannot get a word out of anyone and I have not been able to reach DY's Publicist Lisa Persaud either. Toronto Police is reporting the superstar rapper and singer DY MISSING! What do you mean missing? I have seen him a few times at MuchMusic nut never met him personally. I spoke to his Publicist about features in the past and KJ and I love his music. I sure hope TPS (Toronto Police Service) and Mexican authorities work together if in fact he went to Mexico.

This dude is HIGHLY talented and I will keep him in my prayers. With all the drama going on in Mexico these days, so many Canadians and Americans have been killed, missing and such. The standard of the cops over there is questionable as you can see entire police departments have been killed in the cartel war as well. Much Music's Re Hot blog reports that "DY was last seen middle of August at his video shoot says Matt Attfield, DMD Promotions national publicist, who also said that he is unsure who the last person was to see DY but that he was seen at the video shoot for “That’s My Spot” on August 8th about a week before he was scheduled to go to Mexico.

The last Tweet from his account was on September 8th when he said, “Happy birthday to my favourite voice on the radio @jjisjeni. All the best!” That was him wishing Flow 93.5FM Toronto personality Jeni McKenzie a Happy Birthday. This story is as bizarre as it could get. My calls to several industry people were mixed while some could not be reached. Some are speculating a "publicity stunt" but why and for what? It's almost 3 months and his family is very worried. DY as you know is on the same CP record label as Danny Fernandez and Belly among others. CP Records CEO Tony Sal speaks for all in them in his press release statement:

“DY is such a great young talent. All of the artists and staff at CP Records have him and his family in our prayers.”

Anyone with information can call the Toronto Police Department at 416-808-2222.

50 CENT AWAITING INVESTIGATION ON HOUSE FIRE!

LATEST: Rapper 50 CENT is "eager" to discover the authorities' findings surrounding the fire that engulfed his New York home, endangering his son and ex-girlfriend. The Long Island estate - owned by 50 Cent and occupied by his former lover Shaniqua Tompkins and their 10-year-old son Marquise - was set ablaze in what New York cops have called a "highly suspicious" inferno that raged at 5am (EST) on Friday (30May08). The home has been at the centre of a bitter dispute between the hip-hop star - real name Curtis Jackson - and Tompkins since last month's (Apr08) ruling that she and Marquise must leave the rapper's mansion by the end of 2008.

The star's spokesperson says, "Informed this morning while filming a new motion picture on location in Louisiana, Curtis Jackson expressed deep concern over this fire at his property. He is extremely thankful that everyone including his son, Marquise, escaped the burning house safely. "He is confident that authorities will be conducting a thorough investigation of the incident and is eager to review their findings." And Tompkins - who split from the rapper in 2003 - has fuelled reports a vengeful party is to blame after revealing she heard "someone" come into the house at 4am, an hour prior to the incident. Police have sent sniffer dogs to search the rubble for a substance that may have been used as an igniter. However, the In Da Club hitmaker is not being treated as a suspect, reports TMZ.com. meanwhile Shaniqua says 50 is trying to kill HER!

Meanwhile, Rapper 50 CENT has denied setting fire to the home after his ex-lover suggested he may have been involved. We hear they have been fighting all week! Watch them fight verbally on the streets on that link! Also Watch the house smoldering!

Damn! This house was TORCHED by a human being! Some hater who even wanted 50's son Marquise DEAD so he won't inherit the $500 million his dad's worth!
