MC opens up to Mixtape Daily about rumors that G-Unit mogul has been ‘blackballing’ him because of his association with Chaz ‘Slim’ Williams. By Alvin Blanco, with reporting by Rob Markman Grafh Photo: MTV News Celebrity Favorites: Grafh Grafh just wants to spread the love. But the Jamaica, Queens, rapper’s longtime affiliation with Black Hand Entertainment has spawned rumors that he was being blackballed by 50 Cent due to the G-Unit honcho’s rift with Black Hand’s Chaz “Slim” Williams. Grafh recently left the Black Hand fold, but insisted it’s still all good between him and Williams. “We have a mutual respect for each other, we’re like family,” Grafh told Mixtape Daily of his and Chaz’s decision to separate on the business front. “It was never a thing where he don’t want to see me succeed. I have his blessing. He was like, ‘Go make your money, do what you do.’ Really, if he can’t do what I need done, then he’s like, ‘Go get it done.’ ” As for 50’s role in the mix, Chaz was the “In Da Club” rapper’s manager back when he was signed to Columbia Records. But Fif left shortly after he was infamously shot nine times in 2000. Since then, the two have not been on the friendliest of terms. “I can’t really speak on the situation too much ’cause I was young,” Grafh said. “I was around but not in they business. I know Chaz was managing 50 before he was managing me. After the shooting, when 50 got shot, I guess he felt Chaz could have stopped that maybe ’cause Chaz got a lot of power in the ‘hood. However Chaz involvement may have been, I don’t even want to speak on none of that ’cause that ain’t any of my business.” The “power” in the ‘hood that Grafh alluded to is Williams’ reputation as an OG on the streets. Williams’ former life as a bank robber was the subject of an episode of “Notorious” on the Biography channel. In 50’s street classic “Many Men,” he refers directly to what he believes is a betrayal by his ex-manager: “Slim switched sides on me, let n—as ride on me/ I thought we was cool, why you want me to die, homey?” Despite 50 and Williams falling out, Grafh insisted that the latter still has respect for 50. Grafh just hopes that their lingering issues won’t pose a problem for his own hip-hop ambitions. “All I know is Chaz’s part, and Chaz speaks very highly of that man,” Grafh insisted. “He’s a fan of [50’s] music and a fan of 50 Cent and speaks highly of his character. Whatever feelings they may have ain’t got to do with me ’cause I wasn’t around for that [conflict]. So if any blackballing is occurring, I’m like, ‘Easy, bro. Easy, Joe, just let me get my money. I ain’t got nothing to do with nothing.’ [That’s] why I don’t even want to entertain that in the interview, if there is any blackballing going on — which it feels like that ’cause every record I got, it’s shot out the goddamn sky — then pick it up, so I can eat,” the rapper said of the tendency of his records to lose steam after gaining street buzz. Grafh also told Mixtape Daily he would be down to work with 50 Cent if the opportunity presented itself. Despite any Black Hand vs. G-Unit drama, the former Epic Records artist said he is above any beef since he knows plenty of Unit members, including Lloyd Banks, having personally come up with them in Queens too. In fact, at one point, Grafh was so tired of all the blackballing rumors that he dropped in for an impromptu meeting with 50 at the mogul’s New York City offices. “The tension is thick in the room,” Grafh recalled, describing what it was like waiting in the lobby of the G-Unit offices to see whether 50 would take a meeting with him. “I see them looking out the window, they treating me like I got a bomb on me. I’m like, ‘It’s love on my side, homey. I just want to holla at the homey and let him know it’s love, and I want it to be love, if it can be.’ “They did what they supposed to do. His man came at me like, ‘What you doing up here, young?’ ” Grafh said he responded, ” ‘I just want to holla at the homey. It’s love and it’s no problem.’ If I could talk to him, I would like to ’cause he was there.” However, 50 never did accept Grafh’s offer to chat that day. “I was hoping he was going to come out and holla at me, but he didn’t,” he said. “So if you see this interview, holla at your boy.” Grafh’s EP, The Rule, features a collaboration with Joe Budden and is set to drop soon.

I’ve seen this video circulating….and I didn’t bother with it because I figure seeing a Ukrainian immigrant speaking Russian when in Russia doing promo for a movie wasn’t all that exciting, you know call me crazy…. If anything I find it irritating when I’m around imported women and I can’t figure out what they are saying, or whether they are plotting my death cuz my threats of sending them back to their war torn countries aren’t going over as well as I hoped….cuz Russian girls are all spoiled brat who don’t remember what communism or the iron curtain is all about…especially since they were raised here… I mean and I also find Russian as erotic a language as German or Arabic, you know all hacking and coughing and violent like I’m gonna get prison raped sounding…. Not to mention, the rumor is she’s defending Justin Timberlake in the interview….cuz she’s probably fucking him….making this even less erotic than it already is…. I think Mila Kunis is just good to look at, or masturbate to in her re-runs of that 70s show… Here she is in LA…probably speaking english…except maybe when she buys her illegal firearms and cocaine….from Dimitry and Vladimir her Russian mobster friends she met when she was a kid at Vodka soaked Russian work camp….
This morning I was greeted by my male co-worker with “What’s up with that girl Eric Williams?” Not the normal “Good Morning” I usually receive but this acknowledgment was more intriguing. Being that I missed the coveted Basketball Wives last night, I was oblivious to the fact that Eric Williams threw a drink in Jennifer’s face. The two are going through a bitter and seemingly endless divorce. It took Jenn years to finally come-to terms with divorcing the man who had cheated on her and for the most part neglected her feelings with no remorse. As I read several blogs to figure out why Eric would throw a drink in his almost ex-wife’s face, I realized that he absolutely no right to do so, especially after being the a**hole in their entire relationship and stint on Basketball Wives. Throwing a drink as a male, is probably the most b*tcha**ness I have seen (on Television) in a while. So here are my four things wrong with Eric throwing a drink in Jennifer’s face: 4. Throwing a drink is not the alternative for domestic violence. It does not make it any better than if you were to physically hit her. It’s all bad! 3. You did her wrong in the relationship, not the other way around: How dare you throw a drink, as if Jennifer dragged you through relationship trenches. If anyone is to throw a beverage it should be Jen, straight at the lump on your head! 2. You are a man! Men don’t throw drinks, especially at women. 1. Jen’s perm has been ruined and so has that fabric of lovely dress! The Interview That Ended Jennifer & Evelyn’s Friendship [VIDEO] “Basketball Wives” Star Jennifer Williams Finally Files For Divorce

‘We pushed it back to really route it and put other dates on there,’ Jay says of pushing launch to October. By Rob Markman Kanye West and Jay-Z Photo: Getty Images Fans eager to experience Watch the Throne live are going to have to wait an extra month before they can see Jay-Z and Kanye West in concert. On Tuesday morning, Live Nation started a pre-sale for the WTT Tour, but the original run, which was set to begin on September 22 in Detroit, is no longer. Instead Yeezy and Hov will now kick things off on October 29 in Atlanta, Georgia. The original 24-date tour is now slated for 17 stops, but Live Nation’s website says that more dates will be announced soon. The October 29 Atlanta date was in fact on the original schedule, as was the October 30, Greensboro, North Carolina, date and the November 1 show in Baltimore. The remaining concerts are all rescheduled. Look back at the events leading up to Watch the Throne ‘s August 8 release. There is still no New York City date on paper yet, though Hov confirmed that there will be one during a radio interview with Hot 97’s Angie Martinez on Monday, when he also denied rumors of a feud between him and Kanye . The Throne will stop at the nearby Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey, for two nights and will also land in West’s hometown of Chicago on December 1. “That’s an old list we had to push that back, because it was like, we tried to put it out in pre-order and all the lines got jammed,” Jay told Martinez in the interview as she read off the tour’s original dates. “We pushed it back to really route it and put other dates on there. We’ll probably put four New York dates there instead.” Check out exclusive photos of Jay-Z and Kanye West in the studio. As of now, the last date on the schedule is across the northern border on December 18 in Vancouver. In the radio interview, Jay said that he and Kanye hadn’t worked out the performance details and couldn’t confirm who would hit the stage when or how the two would interact. “We hadn’t worked out those details yet but considerable time will be spent onstage together,” he said.
