Just when you thought this story couldn’t get any more bizarre, it does. When tattoo artist Kevin Campbell was interviewed about a tattoo of “DRAKE” that he put on some woman’s forehead, he dismissed the October’s Very Own artist as a “goof nugget. ” Upon hearing of the diss Drake responded in an interview that the artist was an “a$$hole” and would “f*ck him up” if he ever saw him in person. In the next round of tough guy the tattoo artist says he’d welcome a one-on-one with Mr. Graham any time, any place. “Please say that Drake actually wants to f*ck me up,” he wrote on his Twitter page. “I will totally fight Drake. One on one. Tell him to name a time and place.” Is it just us, or does beefing with a tattoo artist kind of reinforce the stereotype that you’re really not that gangsta? Where is the challenge to fight Common , who has called you sweet on and off record? We’re not hoping for that, but we’re just making a point. Stop the madness. This really isn’t that serious.

The girl who decided to tattoo “ Drake ” on her forehead received a lot of attention for this dumb move, and Drake had something to say about it. Instead of going in on her, Drake calls the tattoo artist a “f***in’ a**hole” and if he ever sees him, he’s going to “f*** him up.” Watch Drake in this video below to hear what other greasy comments he had to say… RELATED POSTS: Man Tattoos “Free Boosie” On His Face [VIDEO] Woman Gets “DRAKE” Tatted On Forehead, Artist Speaks
Britney Spears tour and ‘Super Bass’ smash fuel the Young Money rapper’s ascent. By Nadeska Alexis Nicki Minaj Photo: Getty Images More than a few hip-hop fans will point to Kanye West ‘s single “Monster” as a defining moment in Nicki Minaj ‘s rap career. The newcomer from Queens, New York, managed to one-up Jay-Z on the track, with arguably one of the best verses of 2010, but it wasn’t until this year that the Trinidad-born firecracker broke through the noise and took pop culture by storm, catapulting her career to new heights. Fresh off a stint alongside Lil Wayne on the I Am Still Music Tour, which grossed $47 million in the U.S., Minaj — #6 on MTV News’ Top Newsmakers of 2011 list — made one of her biggest career leaps when she scored a spot opening for Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale Tour . Before the cross-country jaunt kicked off, the world got a chance to see the two take the stage together at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, where Minaj joined the pop icon for her “Till the World Ends (Remix).” An increased fanbase was the result of that tour, but Minaj’s Pink Friday single “Super Bass” also had plenty to do with her rising profile. The catchy tune, with its colorful video, caught the attention of pop audiences thanks to glowing endorsements from stars like Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez. After Swift professed her love for “Super Bass” in a radio interview, the song took on a life of its own, climbing the music charts, although it was just a bonus track on Minaj’s debut album. Minaj performed the track with Swift at the L.A. Staples Center this past summer, and she also scooped up a Moonman for Best Hip-Hop Video at the MTV Video Music Awards. With a touring spot next to Spears and the success of “Super Bass,” the doors were wide open for Minaj to dominate the spotlight for the remainder of 2011. After making a quick and successful leap from hip-hop notoriety to pop-star fame, it was inevitable that the beauty and fashion world would be next to take notice. Minaj’s off-the-wall style attracted promotional deals from cosmetic companies such as MAC and OPI , as well as a few new well-heeled fans. In November, the Young Money rapper teamed up with Versace to debut the Italian fashion house’s new collection for H&M. At the request of Donatella Versace herself, Nicki shared a performance bill with Prince to unveil the new line in New York City. Less than 24 hours later, she joined Kanye West and Jay-Z as one of the performers at the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show . After making so much noise across hip-hop, pop and fashion this year, it was impossible for awards shows to ignore the Barbie princess. In addition to her wins at the VMAs and the 2011 American Music Awards, Minaj also nabbed a coveted nomination for Best New Artist at the 2012 Grammy Awards. Minaj’s sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, is due February 14, 2012. MTV continues our Best of 2011 coverage by looking back at the biggest pop-culture stories of the year.

Here is an underground sources tell: It is a known fact that major artist steal a great majority of their swag and style from young tastemakers and stylish teens. So it is not a surprise that mega producer and supposed industry tastemaker Pharrell Williams found inspiration for his new look from an unsuspecting young tastemaker somewhere around the country or in London or Paris. The surprise is that in this case we have tracked the source of Pharrell’s heavily talked about and photographed soldier hat and boots with the word “P*ssy” and other abstract symbols written on them graffiti style. On September 29th on Youtube we witnessed the debut of a provocative yet amazing new video called “Pu*sy Mariju*na.” The artist is a twenty-one year old rapper from Los Angeles named David Sabastian. The song and video for P*ssy Mariju*na became an instant favorite of both club and radio mix show Dj’s as well as fans across the internet. The buzz on David Sabastian and the cleverly shot video instantly put him on the radar of entertainment industry tastemakers. Within a month the song was on nineteen radio stations including Dj Ern 102 Jamz in Greensboro, NC, DJ Camillo Hot 97 NY, DJ Feli Fell Power 106 LA, KMEL in the Bay and Big Tigga WPGC in Wash DC. The video was co-directed, styled, art directed and edited by the artist David Sabastian himself! Sabastian has been a tastemaker and innovator in the LA fashion scene since he was sixteen yrs old. The P*ssy Marij*ana song and video is the lead off single from his upcoming 2012 mixtape titled “The Napoleon Complex”. Over the last two months the major record labels and top level artist, producers and executives have reached out to Sabastian and his manager St.gian at Philafornia Music Corporation to offer various deals. In November, Pharrell Williams paid the ultimate compliment to David Sabastian and the P*ssy Mariju*na video by swagger jacking Sabastian’s unique style from the video. The signature soldier hat and graffiti tagged P*ssy logo written on the Timberland boots of David Sabastian became Pharrell’s new fashion statement! Pharrell Williams officially became Mr. Me Too! Check out these pics of Pharrell and then check out the P&ssy Marijuana video by David Sabastian right here and tell us what you think!

‘To be Artist of the Year, a whole 365 days, that’s pretty cool,’ she says in a video acceptance speech. By Jocelyn Vena Katy Perry Photo: Getty Images Katy Perry was everywhere in 2011, and thanks to that pop-culture takeover, she was named MTV’s Artist of the Year . The honor is the culmination of an insanely busy year for Perry, but she still found a few minutes to send a big “thank you” to everyone for her incredible success over the past 12 months. “Hi everyone at MTV! I just want to say thank you for this amazing award,” she said in a video message. “To be Artist of the Year, a whole 365 days, that’s pretty cool.” Perry beat out fellow superstars Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Lil Wayne during our Best Artists of 2011 debate, which makes the win that much more unbelievable for the pink-haired singer. “I wasn’t really allowed to watch MTV growing up, so this feels really validating,” she said. “And I’ve had a fantastic year, a great tour and a great run, and you guys have been so a part of it and such a big reason why. So thank you so much. I really appreciate it.” Perry was all over the radio in 2011, thanks to hit singles like “E.T.,” “The One That Got Away” and “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.).” She appeared on the big screen in “The Smurfs” and the small screen hosting “Saturday Night Live.” She hit the road for her California Dreams Tour, kept us captivated with videos like the VMA-winning “Firework” and “E.T.” and always had us talking, whether it was about what she was wearing, tweeting or saying. And, oh yeah, “Firework,” also happens to be MTV’s #10 Song of the Year . As 2011 comes to an end, Perry will kick off the new year with Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Firework.” Stick with MTV as we count down the Best of 2011 , including the top Artists , Songs , Live Performances and EDM Artists of the year.
