Kanye West was recently arrested yesterday in the UK after allegedly running into a fight with paparazzi while exiting the Tup Tup nightclub. The photographer claims it all went down when Kanye was leaving the club with 4 girls, upset that he was being captured on film. After getting angry, Kanye allegedly got violent shoving the camera into the snappers face, causing a cut on his nose. According to TMZ, after a short investigation, West was released from police custody without charges.
As if drama couldn’t continue within the members of Danity Kane. Well, it looks like another member has left the very popular girl group Danity Kane and this time it was quite a bit unexpected. The word is that Shannon has quit the group and has stated that on radio station Z100 in New York. Is this what Diddy wanted after all? With on Andrea & Dawn just left could this be the very end of Danity Kane?
Update: One of my readers sent in this tip. Supposedly Cassie might be joining the group?
Do you think Diddy will try and get the group back together?
Shout out to Mo & Straight Outta NYC
Kanye wrote a post on his blog today explaining his frustration toward the recently leaked track “Robocop” which is off his upcoming album “808’s & Heartbreak”. Kanye writes,
“I DID NOT LEAK ROBOCOP!!!… THAT’S NOT EVEN THE FINISHED VERSION… I’M PRETTY UPSET ABOUT IT BUT THAT’S THE WAY LIFE IS SOMETIMES!”
Diddy recently got in trouble with the law this past week. The Hip-Hop Mogul was driving around Miami Beach in his customized silver Jeep when he was pulled over by the cops.
The rapper was pulled over by police for ignoring the police officer’s request to turn down the volume of his car stereo because he couldn’t hear him.
According to website TMZ.com, the officer asked Combs to adjust the volume of his music, but when the rapper failed to comply or even acknowledge, he was ticketed for the offence.
Jay-Z canceled his free show last night in Miami which was in efforts to support for the Obama campaign. His reason for last night cancellation was due to a sore throat. Guests were unaware of the cancellation until they had arrived and had been waiting for hours for the show to start.
Jay-Z had reportedly been advised by doctors not to go ahead with the concert because of his illness, but the star has yet to release a statement explaining the details of his illness.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. was robbed of $7 Million in Jewelry at his Las Vegas home last week. The culprit allegedly busted through Floyd’s bedroom window when Mayweather was out.
Music producer Swizz Beatz owes $842,644.52 in back taxes for him and his wife Mashonda.
When your sitting on millions, is it really that hard to pay your taxes?
Damon Dash and wife Rachel Roy are in jeopardy of getting their two Manhattan apartments foreclosed. The Hip-Hop mogul owes $78K in mortgage payments for two Tribeca apartments. The mortgage lender, Eastern Savings Bank, is looking to sue Dash for the money. According to the lawsuit, he hasn’t paid up since January on the combined $7.3 million mortgage.
Dash may also be in trouble because of back taxes, and insufficient funds for the rent to the building that houses his company.
It was only a couple of months ago, we heard Damon and Rachel signed a multi-million dollar deal with Jones Apparel Group Inc. I wonder if things fell through on that?
Jermaine Dupri’s restaurant Cafe Dupri has closed it doors forever last week. Jermaine Dupri’s mother, Tina Mauldin, felt it was a “business decision” to close down the buck head restaurant. Workers weren’t notified about the closing of the restaurant, left confused why it was even closing.
I guess money troubles were the diminishing the business because workers had complained for weeks about bounced checks and bank notices of insufficient funds. Some employees came to work even after utilities were shut off. When they asked Tina Mauldin why worker’s weren’t receiving their checks here’s what she had to say “maybe if the employees had worked harder, Cafe Dupri would still be open.”
Not a good look JD.
