The family of Jocelyn Savage who claims their daughter is being held “hostage’ by the singer alleged that Mason made deathly threats. “”I’m gonna do harm to you and your family, when I see you I’m gonna get you, I’m going to f***ing kill you,” Mason allegedly told Jocelyn’s father in May 2018.

Coooorrect: Stalley’s Empathy Display On ‘I Don’t See’ Single Sets Tone For Forthcoming ‘Human’ EP [Listen]

New Stalley “I Don’t See” Sets The Tone For Upcoming ‘Human’ EP, Releasing February 1st Rapper Stalley has been grinding in the music space for a minute and now he’s back to bearing his ‘Human’ emotions. The midwest born, but NYC made songwriter is set to release another EP called ‘Human’ on February 1st. With Billboard , Stalley  discussed his inspiration behind telling stories in music that revolve around humanity. There’s a lot you talk about on this EP, mostly stories that revolve around your humanity. Do you feel it is imperative for rappers to be in touch with that human side, and for their fans to see that? Yes, it’s very important. I think that especially now, we get so lost in the celebrity and being famous more than we do the art. Now, the more famous and popular you are, then you can be whatever you want to be — you can choose, almost. You got 500,000 followers and when that number keeps going up, you can call yourself a fashion designer or anything. You can make up whatever you want to make up because you have the following to sell them anything. I think people really do lose touch with their human side. A rapper with some empathy! In his single from the EP “Human”, “I Don’t See”, Stalley rhymes about reaching his destiny despite the negativity. Hit play to check it. Listen to “I Dont See” on your favorite streaming services.

The WIZRD: Future Says Ciara ‘Controlled’ Russell Wilson Should ‘Be A Man’ & Do THIS

Source: Paras Griffin/JRP/WENN / Getty Here we go again… Future Talks His New “The WIZRD” Album, Says Russell Wilson’s Controlled By Ciara If you thought Future was done talking Ciara and Russell Wilson —you thought wrong. Future just dropped his “The WIZRD” album and as part of the rollout, he stopped by  Beats 1 on Apple Music . While there for FreeBandz Radio he spoke to Big Bank Black about a number of traptastic things; his new project, his rise to stardom and even that time he gave rapper YC the track “Racks” purposely, to jumpstart his own career. Things got especially interesting however when Future was asked to speak on his ex and her Seattle Seahawks husband.  According to the Astronaut rapper, he has “no feelings” for Russell because he’s “controlled by Ciara.” According to Future, Russell should step up and be a “man” and tell Ciara to stop mentioning his name in public. “He do exactly what she tell him to do! II feel like he not being a man in that position,” said Future. “He not tellin’ her, ‘Chill out with that on the internet. Don’t even talk to him. I’m your husband! You better not even bring Future’s name up!’ If that was me, she couldn’t even bring his name up,” he added. “She know that. She couldn’t even bring her exes’ names up. I don’t care what they gave you […] Don’t bring their names up in an interview, no! Don’t give that s**t no energy. It’s about me! I’m taking care of everything!”   Future also added that he thinks Russell should’ve stopped Ciara from taking him to court and revealed that he declined Ciara’s invitation to meet him.  “He think ‘oh you should go to court’—no! You better not show up for court. ‘I’ll take care of him before you sue him.’ […] “You’d already started going around my kid when y’all started going together and you haven’t even talked to me,” said Future. “And y’all got married and she said ‘Oh I want you to meet Russell.’ Why would I want to meet him now?! Y’all already did the damage!” “I’m not trying to be around your kids and I don’t know their baby daddy,” he aded. […] “Because he have a daddy, not only do he have a daddy, his daddy is in the public.” Well, well, well. Someone’s still clearly a little salty… He did say however that he thinks it’s a positive thing for little Future to be around a top NFL player because his son is being coached by one of the best in the business. “I played football, basketball, and baseball,” said Future. […] “He talented. Why wouldn’t I want a championship player coaching my son? I want the best for my son. […] You the best in the world, why wouldn’t I want you coaching my son? It’s a coach, he coaching him, I don’t think of it as a negative situation. […] Why would I want to take that away from him?” Does Future have a point or is he in his Dirty Sprite splattered feelings???

Milania Giudice Releases Music Video, Leaves Internet Aghast

So this is a thing that has now happened:  Milania Giudice has come out with her very first music video. The video was released by Bravo on Wednesday night, following many episodes of The Real Housewives of New Jersey during which the 14-year old continually expressed an interest in pop music. This isn't so different from many 14-year olds around the country, of course. But Milania – or her famous mother, who one might think would know better, really – is now under fire for what she actually says and does in the song/video. Titled “I Can’t Wait To Grow Up,” the track features Milania rapping about all the things she's excited to do when she's older. Such as: covering Vogue magazine, having her own driver and traveling the world. This is where she stops being like other 14-year olds around the country and starts sounding like a rich and entitled spoiled brat. Should these really be the priorities or fantasies of a young teenager? Twitter users aren't so certain. “THIS IS EMBARRASSING NOW. AND WILL ONLY BE MORE EMBARRASSING IN 10 YEARS. I FEEL FOR HER,” wrote one critic online upon the video release, while another added: She’s gonna regret this video so much in a little while…. Teresa made a big mistake letting her do this . And then another: Want to say something positive, but I can’t . The video includes appearances by Teresa and, somehow, Fetty Wap, along with a spoken introduction that goes as follows: Hey it's me Milania, I'm sure you've seen me around, you've probably seen me on TV, I'm about to go pick up my besties Tay Tay and Stephanie. We about to go pop them tags, get our nails done, hair done. We ain't chasing boys, we chasing checks, we chasing dreams, we chasing goals. Big things poppin', little things stoppin'. There's also at least one reference in here to Joe Giudice, Milania's father who is currently in jail for tax fraud and who is scheduled to be deported this spring. “My dad.. is the best dad in the world” and “needs to come home,” Milania has said about Joe . Check out her controversial video now.

We knew he was dying to get her back. Well now thanks to the new “ Twerk” video with City Girls that sees Cardi shaking her divine donk on the beach for four minutes straight, we have an indication of some of what Offset was missing. Cardi’s fine a$$ has everyone calling Offset a straight up idiot for cheating on her and getting kicked to the curb. The dragging is quite epic and hilarious, too. Buddy really deserves it.

The Wizrd Speaks: Future Explains Why He Had Trouble Admitting That He Wasn’t Drinking Lean Anymore [Video]

Source: Andrew Chin / Getty Future Admits He Doesn’t Drink Lean Anymore, Feared Telling Fans Future has a new album set to drop at midnight tonight entitled The Wizrd. He recently sat down with Rob Markman to talk about the music, but also to reveal his vulnerabilities. Future hasn’t been drinkin’ all the lean that you might think he does and he says he had a real difficult time deciding whether or not he wanted to tell his fans that he’s been double cup free. If he’s willing to be this open and honest then maybe this new album will give us a more intimate look at one of the biggest enigmas in rap.

‘LHHMIAS2’ Recap: Trina Mediates A Peace Talk Between Joy And Shay

See the article here:

Source: Gilbert Carrasquillo / Getty We start tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Miami at Bobby Lytes’ video shoot for, “Bang Bang,” and Trina is there to support her cousin. This is really actually set up for Trina to discuss how she’s building her label, Rockstarr Music Group. Bobby Lytes wants to be down but Trina is still hesitant because she feels like working with family can bring unnecessary drama, so she’s cautiously considering Bobby. Veronica Vega is back. She has been working with Polow Da Don and here they have an urgent meeting in Atlanta. This meeting isn’t a good one. He tells her that he put up his house to finance her career and has spent over a million but the return hasn’t been worth it thus far. He’s tired of her going viral for all the wrong reasons and tells her it’s time to show and prove with the music, not beef and not slanging the n-word around like it’s going out of style. Veronica says she’s going to step it up, but you already know what happens in situations like this—she takes all her pain to her family (her grandma and sister) and explains what’s going on. Then she makes a teary plea about how she can’t fail because she has the burden of taking care of them on her shoulders. You know this is an attempt to humanize her since people think she’s a bully based on last season. Anyway, her relatives give her words of encouragement, yatta, yatta. We’ll see what she does now that she knows she has to do better. Gunplay meets up with Keyara to try to make amends. He brings her a kitten as a gift because she likes cats. And um… Anyway, the feline is cute and all but Keyara is still mad at him even after getting the gift, and she plays hardball. He mentions that he’s going to New York to do some press and wants her to come with him for a change of atmosphere and so they can talk about how they can move forward. Keyara neither says yes or no and says she just needs a minute to think about things but already gives him conditions under which she would go (like them not sleeping in the same bed, for example). This is how shocked we’ll be if she turns him down. Remember when Trina got Shay together at the Love and Hip-Hop Miami reunion last season? That situation stemmed from Shay’s beef with Trina’s cousin, Joy (over Pleasure P). Anyway, they still had tension from that situation so Shay decided to reach out to Trina to try to square away their issues. Shay actually comes into the situation turned down (even she knows that beefing with Trina ain’t the move), and explains her side of why she’s upset. Shay basically said she was upset because Pleasure P was shady about Joy throughout their relationship. She would always ask to meet Joy since that was supposed to be his bestie, but Pleasure P would hide her and generally make excuses. Trina brings up a great point, which is that Pleasure P is the one Shay really needs to be mad at and of course, she wants Shay and Joy to have a peace talk. Let’s cut to that moment… The episode winds down with Trina mediating Joy and Shay as the latter two talk aggressively to each other. To be fair, Shay came out the gate aggress and Joy just reacted. However, Trina is a good mediator and does a good job of reeling both women in and conveying both sides. In the end, Trina gets them to calm down and explains that they both need to grow up and move on. They seem cool for now, but will they drop the beef? We don’t quite know just yet.

Paris Jackson Breaks Silence on Alleged Mental Health Treatment

Paris Jackson would like everyone to remember an old adage: Don’t believe everything you read. Especially not when it comes to the personal life of someone you’ve never met. Earlier today, we reported what other outlets had written about Michael Jackson’s famous daughter; that she had checked into rehab for assistance with her mental health . This is what an insider told People Magazine on the topic: “After a busy year of work engagements that took her all over the globe, Paris decided that she needed to take some time off to reboot, realign and prioritize her physical and emotional health. “She checked herself into a treatment facility to aid in her wellness plan and is looking forward to coming out of this revitalized and ready to tackle the exciting new projects that await her.” According to Paris herself, however, only the first part of this statement is accurate. Along with a photo of herself and her dog on Instagram, Jackson updated followers on her status this afternoon. She acknowledges that things haven’t been going so well of late — but seems to shoot down talk that she is seeing anyone professional about it. “The media is exaggerating per usual,” Jackson wrote online, adding in more detail: “yes i’ve taken a break from work and social media and my phone because it can be too much sometimes, and everyone deserves a break, but i am happy and healthy and feeling better than ever!” Jackson then delved into her musical career and concluded: “gabriel and i have some new music we’re stoked to share with y’all! (@thesoundflowers) hope you guys’ new year started out with lots of love and light and all the things. “i’ll be back soon!!” In recent years, Jackson has been open about struggling with anxiety and depression, while also dealing with the trauma from a sexual assault in her teenage years. Just a couple months ago, we heard that family members were worried Jackson would overdose . A source who spoke to The New York Post, meanwhile, says that the 20-year-old had received an evaluation but returned home shortly afterward. It’s unclear when this evaluation took place. But the insider did add that Jackson was just “tired” and “exhausted” from her busy schedule the past several months. In a 2017 Rolling Stone article, the young star admitted she has attempted suicide several times. “I was going through a lot of, like teen angst. And I was also dealing with my depression and my anxiety without any help,” she told the magazine, saying she tried to kill herself in June of 2013 attempt at age 15, adding: “It was just self-hatred … Low self-esteem, thinking that I couldn’t do anything right, not thinking I was worthy of living anymore.” We really hope Jackson is doing better these days. The heartbreaking video she shared in June of 2017 remains with us to this day. Watch it here to see why: Paris Jackson SLAMS Haters
