BOSSIP Exclusive: Scott Storch’s Girlfriend Says Shady Music Execs Threatened To Have Them Killed

Florence Mirsky Said She And Storch Are In Fear For Their Lives The girlfriend of hip-hop producer Scott Storch said the heads of her man’s former record label threatened to enlist a “mafia hit man” to rub them out. “The Cohens threatened to have a ‘mafia hit man’ kill Scott Storch and/or myself,” Florence Mirsky said in court papers obtained by BOSSIP. “Therefore, we flew to Los Angeles to be with our family, where we felt we were safe.” Mirsky said Storch’s former business partners, Brad and Seth Cohen, began threatening them after Storch balked at signing a contract with the Cohens because Storch believed it was a bad deal. She said the label execs first blackmailed Storch, warning him that if he didn’t sign, they’d have him evicted that day and seize his Rolls Royce. “ Scott Storch told me the plaintiffs Seth Cohen and Brad Cohen threatened to have him evicted from his home that evening and threatened to take away his car, leaving him stranded and in the street if he did not immediately sign the November 2015 operating agreement,” Mirsky said in a deposition as part of the Cohen brothers’ fraud and breach of contract case against her and Storch. “He stated to me that he had no opportunity to show it to an attorney and the Cohens threatened him physically if he didn’t not sign it the moment it was presented to him.”

BOSSIP Exclusive: Rick Ross Countersues Rapper Over “Mastermind” $2 Mill Legal Battle

Raul Caiz Says Ross Stole His Name Rick Ross fired back in his $2 million battle with an unknown musician over the name “Mastermind,” demanding the case be thrown out and then slapping the man with a counter-suit. Independent hip hop artist and producer Raul Caiz filed a federal lawsuit against Rick Ross, Def Jam Records and Universal Music Group, saying Ross was using a name he’d trademarked and had been using for 17 years to release music. Caiz said he’d had songs played on the radio, one of his tracks was featured in a movie, released tracks and recorded his music using the name “Mastermind.” He said around 2013, Ross, real name William Leonard Roberts, announced his sixth album would be entitled “Mastermind,” and shortly after the rapper began calling himself “Mastermind” in interviews, performances and other people started following suit and calling Ross by the new nickname.

Somebody’s Lying: Kanye Says Taylor Knew All About His “I Made That Bish Famous” Lyric, And She Thought It Was Hilarious

Kanye West Says Taylor Swift Approved His Lyrics About Her Kanye West’s lyrics are making folks upset before his album even drops. His line about Taylor Swift in the song “Famous” is already getting people pissed — including Taylor herself. The public heard the lyrics for the first time yesterday during Kanye’s fashion show and album listening event : For all my Southside n—-s who know me best / I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b*tch famous / G*d damn / I made that b*tch famous After seeing how her “squad” and fans all freaked out after hearing the lyric, Taylor’s team quickly released a statement saying that Taylor was completely blindsided by Kanye’s comment and utterly offended that he never ran it past her. However, Kanye says not so fast. Ye took to twitter earlier today to let the world know that first and foremost, his lyrics were not meant to be seen as a “diss,” and his wife Kim cleared the line about him one day smashing Taylor. Finally, Kanye revealed that not only had Taylor herself heard it, but she thought it was funny and gave him a thumbs up — especially since she personally made the “Kanye made me famous” joke herself. Hit the flip for more… AKM-GSI / Splash / Twitter

Beef Reignited: Kanye West Rapped That He And Taylor Swift Might Smash Since He Made Her Famous…And Taylor’s Not Happy About It

Taylor Swift Upset Over Kanye West’s Lyrics About Her When Kanye West’s T.L.O.P. album listening event went down earlier this evening, fans were shocked that ‘Ye “went there” with some of his lyrics . Apparently some of Kanye’s colleagues were just as shocked as the rest of us by what they heard — none moreso than Taylor Swift. Apparently Swifty was shocked to hear ‘Ye rap about smashing her flat backs to smithereens, but also to hear that he feels like he’s responsible for her mega-success in the pop world. On the track “Famous,” Kanye raps: For all my Southside n—-s who know me best / I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why, I made that b*tch famous / G*d damn / I made that b*tch famous Welp…needless to say Taylor wasn’t feeling it, and wanted to make sure everyone knows that Kanye didn’t get a permission slip from her on that line. Via People : Taylor Swift was as shocked as her fans were to hear about Kanye West’s rap diss. In fact, Swift’s spokesperson tells PEOPLE, “Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single ‘Famous’ on her Twitter account,” adding, “She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, ‘I made that bitch famous.’” It had been reported earlier that the rapper had directly contacted Swift, 26, “late last month” during which she “said she got the joke and gave him the thumbs up to release the song with the lyric.” Several things to unpack here. First off…who is Taylor Swift to “warn” and instruct a grown azz man like Kanye on what to and not to do? Secondly, did she bother to ring Kanye up before she wrote an ENTIRE SONG about Kanye needing to grow uo after that “I’ma let you finish” moment? Next…how exactly could she warn him against the “misogynistic content” of a song when she allegedly had no idea what the lyrics even were? Last…how hilarious is it that Kanye wanted her to unknowingly tweet out the song where he raps about banging her smashing her and basically says she’d be nothing without him? Either way, Taylor’s brother had some thoughts on the situation: Oh well. Either way, looks like we’re going to have to hear this chick, her “squad,” and mainstream white media’s tidal wave of feels about all this nonstop for the next few weeks… Instagram / AKM-GSI / Splash

Stacey Dash Orders Black Twitter To Apologize For Roasting Her, Backpedals On Banning Black History Month

Stacey Dash Wants Twitter To Apologize, Explains Comments On Black History Month Stacey Dash is even more delusional than most of us originally thought, because she seems to think that she is owed and may possibly receive an apology from the army of Twitter users that came for her whitewashed neck last week after her comments bashing BET , The Image Awards, and dismissing Black History Month as racist. Citing a 60-minutes interview Morgan Freeman gave years and years ago, Stacey asked when exactly she was going to receive an in-pouring of “I’m Sorrys,” after people realize that she’s only agreeing with what the actor said: When I spoke out on Fox News and on my blog about the need to get rid of BET and Black History Month, all the same usual Twitter haters came out of the woodwork to troll me and say all sorts of disgusting things about me. The same trolls who attacked me when I endorsed Mitt Romney came out and called me all sorts of things, many of which I can’t even say here. Well, if you’re going to call me ignorant, stupid, and an Uncle Tom, you need to be intellectually honest and also call out Morgan Freeman. Like I said… so when do the Twitter trolls apologize to me? Well,while she waits on that apology that will never arrive, she also decided to “clarify” what she meant when she said she wanted to get rid of Black History Month. In her newly posted blog , Stacey insists that Black people are holding themselves back by accepting a set aside month to celebrate our contributions to US History: It’s hard to cut through the hysterical reactions to my comments the other day about Black History Month. I feel like many of your reactions — saying that I’ve sold out to white people, that I’m “coonin’” etc — show you aren’t hearing me. I’m not saying we as black people deserve LESS respect. I’m saying we deserve MORE. Black History should be apart of social studies and history curriculum EVERYDAY OF EVERY MONTH OF EVERY YEAR. not just 28 days out of 365!!!! Black history IS American history. We are not a category or a special interest group. We are Americans. I am an American and I cannot be categorized or limited by anyone else’s definition of me. I can tell by the hysterical reactions that it’s not WHITE PEOPLE who are trying to keep black Americans in their place. It’s BLACK people. We need to stop doing this to ourselves, to our brothers and sisters. We need to swipe the breadcrumbs on the floor and eat of the wonderful, rich food this nation offers. Well now that she (kind of) cleared that up, what do you think? Does Stacey have a point or does she still need to have a whole stadium of seats?? WENN

True Or False: Is Meek Mill Planning To Drop A Comeback Diss Record On Drake’s Birthday?

Meek Mill May Drop Diss Track On Drake’s Birthday Meek has already kicked up enough unecessary dust and caught enough internet hell for one week…but rumor has it that the Philly rapper has plans to redeem himself against Drizzy on the Toronto rapper’s very own birthday. Sources close to Meek say that Meek has been getting gassed by all the memes and videos that have been poking fun at Drizzy’s cha-cha slide , courtesy of his recent “Hotline Bling” video. As the insider shared with Hollywood Life : “Even though their feud has publicly ended for the most part, Meek still thinks Drake’s a litte b*tch. Meek has a good laugh with his friends and other rappers at Drake’s expense. I mean, just look at Drake. His face is one big joke and the way he dances – man, he lost all street cred with those wack 60’s moves. Meek really wants to let this feud end but he’s tempted to shade Drake real hard on his birthday tomorrow and crush him with an epic diss track. It would be the best present Meek could ever give Drake! He’s in the studio constantly and is really thinking about dropping something epic on Drake, but he keeps going back and forth in his head asking if himself if he really wants to ignite that fire again. Everybody is dissing Drake right now and Meek’s seriously thinking about getting in on the act.” Wait… Drake’s face is the joke here…??? Anyway, the biggest problem with this plan is…Drake is actually laughing at that joke too. We’re not sure how much a diss on Drizzy’s dance moves would really get to the rapper when he’s pretty much in on the joke…but we digress. We’d typically dismiss this chatter altogether, but our friends over at Baller Alert recently got their hands on some footage of what seems to be Meek yelling rapping over Drake’s “Back to Back” beat…about three months after the track initially dropped: Could this be Drake’s birthday gift diss reply from Meek? Drake turns 29 in just a few hours, so time will only tell if Meek’s big rebuttal will be dropped off in time for Drake day. Do you think he could actually release some fire and claim a victory over October’s Very Own?

Obama Backs Up Black Lives Matter Movement: “We Have To Take This Seriously”

Obama Backs Black Lives Matter President Obama spoke out in defense of the Black Lives Matter movement on Thursday, pointing out that those voicing concerns over the treatment of Black people at the hands of police officers have legitimate concerns and stressing that it’s unfair to paint activists in the movement as having anti-police sentiments. Via HuffPost : “We as a society, particularly given our history, have to take this seriously,” Obama said of the fact that African-Americans are treated unfairly by the criminal justice system. “The African-American community is not just making this up, and it’s not just something being politicized. It’s real, and there’s a history there.” “We as a society, if we are not investing in opportunity for poor kids, and then we expect just the police and prosecutors to keep them out of sight and out of mind, that’s a failed strategy. That’s a failure on our part as a whole,” Obama said. “If kids in the inner city are not getting treatment and opportunity, that’s as much of a problem as if it’s happening to our kids, and we’ve got to think of all our children in that same way.” The president also addressed “All lives matter,” the frequent response to the “Black lives matter” refrain, saying that organizers of the Black Lives Matter movement were not suggesting black lives are more important than others, but rather that some things happen in black communities that wouldn’t be tolerated in other communities. “I think everybody understands all lives matter,” Obama said. Everybody wants strong and effective law enforcement, he said, and nobody wants to see police officers hurt who are doing their jobs fairly. At least the President gets it! Hopefully the next person to slide into office will understand too…

#TBT Wars: Nelly And Former Affiliate Loose Cannon Slim Trade Shots Over Miss Jackson’s Past…But Is It All Because Of Ashanti?

Nelly Gets Into Social Media Battle With Promoter Over Miss Jackson Did Nelly’s social media-stalking of his ex-bae Ashanti get his current lady put on blast for her former ho-tendencies? A seemingly random social media exchange has turned into an all-out war between Nelly and a former associate…with multiple #TBT subliminal shots thrown back and forth over the last few hours. Nelly’s gripe is with a St. Louis promoter who goes by the name of Loose Cannon Slim, who has been posting pics and videos of Ashanti for months — making her his #WCW multiple times and posting several comments admiring her thickness . The trouble all began earlier today when Ashanti herself actually took notice and began double-tapping and throwing heart-eyes under his multiple posts… It appears that even though Nelly is currently in a nearly year-long relationship with Shantel Jackson …he still monitors Ashanti’s social media moves and felt some sort of way about Loose Cannon shooting his shot at his ex-girlfriend. The St. Lunatic promptly took it upon himself to post a #TBT photo of an old Apple Bottom jeans advertisement featuring himself and Loose’s baby mama…with quite an interesting caption: Apparently this Loose character isn’t one to take social media shots in stride…because he decided to post his own little trip down memory lane — featuring Nelly’s current woman, who he claims to have his own separate history with: This, of course, garnered quite a reaction from Nelly’s, Miss Jackson’s, and even his own followers crying foul on the post — but Loose gave a pretty simple explanation for his actions: Well, damn! Nelly has since remained mum…but somehow we doubt this is the last we’ll hear from either party on the matter of Miss Jackon’s and her mouf. Either way, it appears that checking up on his ex and keeping it petty might have blown up in Nelly’s face in this scenario… Who’s side are you on in this social media spat?? Instagram
