Former Roc-A-Fella Affiliate Choke No Joke Claims Dame Dash Tried To Steal Beyoncé from Jay-Z

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty It’s funny how certain situations that unfold in the present can cast past circumstances that were overlooked in a brand new light. With the recent drama that Dame Dash caused when he tried to throw Jay-Z’s reputation under the bus , this has become the current situation. In a recently unearthed video, former Roc-A-Fella in-house videographer Choke No Joke actually corroborated Funk Master Flex’s allegation that Dame Dash tried to steal Beyoncé from Jay-Z during an interview with Star. When asked by the OG radio personality if something ever happened between Dame Dash and Beyoncé, Choke confirmed that Dame indeed tried to get it popping with Bey behind Jay’s back, but ultimately nothing happened. “Yup.  mean nothing happened like he kissed or sexed her. Did he try to holler at her? Yeah. That’s the same thing he did with Aaliyah, but Aaliyah fell for it. He also wasn’t gonna violate Jay like that. I mean we all know there was a point at Roc-A-Fella where Dame was not allowed around Beyoncé. Anybody that worked there at that time knew that Dame was not allowed around f*ckin’ Beyoncé ‘cause he was a creep.” Word? Was Dame the OG leader of the Creep Squad whose membership includes many of Love & Hip Hop ‘s cast members? Probably not but still this doesn’t put him the best of lights regardless of how bad his relationship with Jay might’ve been at the time. But before everyone goes judging our dearly departed Aaliyah for walking out on Jay for his business partner, Choke feels that even though Dame went behind Jay’s back to holla at her, “the only reason Aaliyah may have went for it is cause Jay wouldn’t be public with her cause he was tryin’ to keep that sh*t private.” That makes sense. It’s cold but Jay never claimed to be the warmest person alive when it came to relationships. Check out the revelation below and let us know your thoughts on the situation.

We Can All Stop With The 10 Year Challenge Now Because Mariah Carey Won

Source: Barcroft Media / Getty Mariah Carey always has a way of making things her own and completely disregarding what everyone else is doing–so it’s no surprise Mimi took that same approach when it came to the 10 year challenge. If you’re not already familiar with the 10 year challenge…consider yourself lucky. But chances are, you’ve seen almost all of your friends on social media posting pictures of themselves from 2009 side-by-side with a picture of them today, in 2019. There’s a lot of questions that stemmed from everyone randomly starting this 10 year challenge. Why not wait until 2020 so this challenge could be a million times more satisfying? Is this all just a ploy from the government (or Facebook) to train facial recognition technology on aging? Where do all of these challenges even come from and why do we do them? The answer to most of those questions is still unknown, but unlike the rest of us, Mariah Carey decided not to conform to this possible government ploy–and she made that fact known in the most Mariah way possible. Earlier this week, Ms. Carey posted a side-by-side photo much like those that the rest of the internet has been posting these past couple of weeks. But in the name of being original, the two photos that she edited–well, let’s be real, Mariah definitely doesn’t edit her own photos–are the exact same picture. I don't get this 10 year challenge, time is not something I acknowledge. *Picture taken at some point prior to today pic.twitter.com/f5XUye3Hot — Mariah Carey (@MariahCarey) January 16, 2019 Mariah Carey is not anything like any of us. She doesn’t understand the 10 year challenge, so she doesn’t stick to the rules. The icon wrote, “I don’t get this 10 year challenge, time is not something I acknowledge *Picture taken at some point prior to today” and now everyone needs to stop posting their 10 year challenges IMMEDIATELY. “Time is not something I acknowledge” just might be the most iconic quote of 2019 and it’s not even February yet. It’s literally the most perfect excuse for anything and everything, and the people of Twitter are already having a field day with it. Take a look at some of the funniest, realest, and most ridiculous reactions to Mariah’s incredible 10 year challenge. “Time is not something I acknowledge” is the only sentence I care about today https://t.co/WvOUyWqkv2 — Hadley Freeman (@HadleyFreeman) January 17, 2019 If your credit card company doesn’t accept Mariah’s quote as an excuse, you need a new credit card. My Credit Card Company: Uhm, hello, you haven't paid a bill in a year…? Me: Time is not something I acknowledge https://t.co/yliYDHLxK7 — Cassie Surprise (@chasspod) January 16, 2019 Mariah knows all about pretending not to know somebody, no matter how much time has passed between their feud. Because, you know, she doesn’t acknowledge time. My ex boyfriend: Surely you’ve forgiven me after all this time? Me: Time is not something I acknowledge pic.twitter.com/tzCfDieIQj — Danielle Sepulvalentine (@ellesep) January 17, 2019 How can your paper be late if time doesn’t really exist? my professor: why didn’t you turn in your paper, it was due today me: time is not something i acknowledge https://t.co/pWnvWig5Wd — ash (@thestorycfus) January 17, 2019 Quoting Mariah Carey in an essay (and citing your sources) should honestly be an automatic A. “Time is not somwthing I acknowledge” here Mariah Carey is commenting on time as a human concept that does not exist as something linear like commonly believed but circular.

El Chapo Allegedly Paid Ex-Mexican President $100 Million Bribe

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO – JANUARY 8: Joaquin Guzman Loera, also known as “El Chapo” is transported to Maximum Security Prison of El Altiplano in Mexico City, Mexico on January 08, 2016. Guzman Loera, leader of Mexico’s Sinaloa drug Cartel, was considered the Mexican most-wanted drug lord. Mexican marines captured “El Chapo” on Friday in Sinaloa, North of Mexico. (Photo by Daniel Cardenas/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images) When you’re a drug czar paying people off comes with the territory. According to informants El Chapo took it to max when dealing with government officials. As reported by  Raw Story  Joaquin Guzman is on trial facing several charges including drug trafficking with intent to distribute, conspiracy, racketeering, extortion, money laundering, homicide, possession of firearms and kidnapping. Naturally the federal prosecution team is pulling out all stops to ensure a conviction thus snitches are coming forward. According to a former associate the suspected kingpin once paid 100 million dollars to ex Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto; yes 100. Alex Cifuentes spilled all types tea as he took the stand at Brooklyn Federal Court earlier this week. The self-confessed “right-hand man” detailed how he told prosecutors that in 2016 Nieto had reached out to him asking for $250 million. The money would guarantee that Joaquinn would no longer have to live in hiding. Cifuentes would allege the politician was paid $100 million in 2012. Nieto held presidential office from December 2012 to November 2018. His tenure would be besmirched with multiple accusations of corruption and widespread crime. Additionally the money did not keep him in pocket for his entire six-year run. In 2014 El Chapo was apprehended in Mexico only to infamously escape almost 15 months later via a tunnel dug directly from his cell. He was finally captured and extradited to the United States in January 2016. Nieto maintains his innocence and denies taking any bribes. The Guzman trial originally started in November and is expected to continue into February. Photo: Getty

Cardi B Weighs In On The Government Shutdown: “This Sh*t Is Really Serious!” [VIDEO]

In case you were wondering, yes — the government shutdown is still going on. And even though she may not be a politician, Cardi B is still aware of what’s going on. Join Our Text Club To Get The Latest Music, Entertainment, Contests And Breaking News On Your Phone. Text BOX to 24042 to join! She informed her 38 million followers on Instagram that Donald Trump ordered thousands back to work at their government jobs without pay . She even has a counter for those who say, “but what about when Barack Obama shut down the government for 17 days when he was President?” Well, Cardi reminded folks that the 2013 shutdown was due to the Republican majority in the House of Representatives attempting to get Democratic President Barack Obama to repeal the Affordable Care Act. “They did that for health care! So your grandma can check her blood pressure and you b*tches can check ya’ll p*ssies at the gynecologist with no motherf**kin’ problem!” Cardi said. She added, “This sh*t is really f*cking serious. Over a f*cking wall. I feel like we need to take some action. This is crazy and I really feel bad that these people got to go to work to not get f*cking paid.” Pretty sure the “woke” class is going to stan Cardi’s message here. The shutdown has affected Houston since Sunday, particularly at IAH where Terminal B is currently shut down due to a shortage of TSA workers to work the terminal. At this point, we’re nearing almost a month into the shutdown with no end in sight.

A New iPod Is Reportedly Being Developed

The more things change, the more they stay the same apparently. Are yall gonna be running to the Apple store to buy something that your phone can already do? Via | HotNewHipHop Can they compete with smartphones though? Apple isn’t satisfied with selling people $1,000 cell phones. The company began its domination of handheld devices with the iPod, and the tech geniuses over at  Macotakara , via  Gizmodo ,  believe Apple will be revamping the device in 2019. In the early 2000’s, MP3 devices became the new cool way to listen to music. CD sales plummeted as millions around the world began downloading music. The creation of the MP3 and streaming steered the music industry down the digital path, and soon after, services like Spotify and Apple Music were created. READ MORE
