Los Angeles Confidential: The Game Just Got His Arrest Warrant From A Federal Judge Dismissed

Posted on October 26, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo by Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images The Game Got His Arrest Warrant Dismissed In Sexual Assault  Case Luckily for The Game , it looks like he could be catching a break. The Compton MC got his arrest warrant was dropped yesterday, October 25, according to reports from  TMZ . Three weeks ago, the California native was asked by the federal judge in his sexual assault lawsuit to hand over financial documents. The judge initially gave the rapper 48 hours to hand over the documents, but unfortunately for him and this case, he didn’t turn them in. After The Game didn’t hand over the records, he was then issued an arrest warrant. Now, the warrant has officially been dismissed, because the documents have been turned in. This lawsuit involves Priscilla Rainey, who was a contestant on Game’s reality show  She’s Got Game.  The result of the suit is that Game has been ordered to pay Rainey $7 million. Unfortunately for Jayceon, this isn’t the only trouble he has been caught up in this year. Not only does he owe Viacom a hefty $35,000 in legal fees, the rapper also recently had a break-in at his home. Following the breach, The Game shared in an Instagram post that he is not one to be messed with and warned the robbers that if they return, he would be there waiting for them. It’s nice to know that in the midst of all this legal and personal trouble, at least The Game’s arrest warrant has been dropped–but he’s still got some pretty big fines to pay.

Posted on October 25, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Go here to read the rest:

After several thousand in my feelings challenges later…We know who “Keke” really is. Several months after the song hit the top the charts we’ve been wondering who the mystery woman is. Well she’s letting us know her identity. Everyone and their mothers thought that Keke was Kim Kardashian, so much to the point that Kanye West was offended. If you don’t remember Kanye went on a very long social media rant about how the song was out of line and even Ye was “in his feelings” about the song. 24-year-old Oakland resident K’yanna Barber was allegedly the lady on Aubrey’s mind when he made the song. She was says she was extremely shocked by hearing the song. She says she was sitting with her mom and brothers listening to the Rapper’s latest album “Scorpion,” when she heard him say the famous line “Keke do you love me?” She said her mother immediately thought it was her. K’yanna figured there are several “Kekes” in the world, but she listened and the line that said her initials “KB” sealed the deal. According to K’yanna her and Drake have been friends for about three years.  When asked if she loved Drake the same way, he loved her she replied back “He knows how I feel.” Okayyyy Sis! If you were wondering why Nicki Minaj pulled her verse off of Tory Lanez song “Shooters” he’s clearing the air. Tory says that he merely suggested that they move some things around on her verse and apparently Nicki didn’t take too kindly to that. According to Tory after he asked Nicki to tweak some things, she snatched her verse off the song. Tory kept quiet about the whole situation until Nicki did an interview where she said Quavo asked her to change a verse and she didn’t get offended. Here’s what he said:   Want more stories?? Listen to Leah’s Lemonade above for all these stories and more.

U Mad?: Melania Trump PR Flack Calls For Boycott Of T.I. Due To Stripper Lookalike

Posted on October 16, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: screen cap / Twitter Melania Trump , the self-called most bullied person in the world, has a beef with T.I. The Africa-visiting First Lady, well actually her PR rep, is calling for a boycott of T.I. after the rapper posted a video of a lookalike stripping in the White House.  Dear 45, I ain’t Kanye. pic.twitter.com/BCS8nkbn1M — T.I. (@Tip) October 13, 2018 On October 12, T.I. shared the above clip with the caption “Dear 45, I ain’t Kanye,” on Twitter. T.I. is seen in what looks like the Oval Office while a woman that looks a lot like Melania Trump is seen busting it open. Just in case you can’t make the connection, the stripper is also rocking the same “I Don’t Care, Do U?” jacket that Melania admitted she used to troll the media. The clip itself is a promotional video for T.I. just released new album, Dime Trap . The Associated Press reports that Melania Trump’s spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, is calling for a boycott of the rapper. Yeah, good luck with that. We’re not going to act like the woman in the video wasn’t objectified, though. But we will point out the irony of Team Trump having a beef considering Donald Trump’s…existence. The trolls got trolled. But please, tell us what you think in the comments. How is this acceptable? #disgusting #boycottT .I. @Tip https://t.co/HvnFahfsVK — Stephanie Grisham (@StephGrisham45) October 13, 2018 — Photo: Twitter

Kanye Whisperer?: Chance The Rapper Believes Yeezy “Does A Lot of Stuff For The Attention”

Posted on October 9, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Paul Natkin / Getty Is there a method to Kanye West’s MAGA madness ? According to Chance The Rapper there definitely is a reason why his fellow Chicago brethren is spewing nonsense lately. On the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast , Chance spoke about West and his recent behavior. He revealed to Budden and his co-hosts that he believes Kanye is just wearing a MAGA hat and saying ridiculous things for attention and that he thinks about how people will react to him after his actions. “I think Kanye has said it before, but I think he thinks like for every move, at least for the past few albums, he thinks about himself like 300 years in the future and how people will read things.” “I think he does a lot of stuff for the attention of the masses,” Chance continued, “to get that stuff documented and made into history. But I think also a lot of times, the attention that he may be seeking is at the immediate detriment of some people that may need that attention more.” Right? So, in essence, this all pre-calculated and not due to Kanye needing help? Chance’s reply about Kanye was very safe, also keep in mind the two artists are working on collaborative effort titled Good Ass Music that he revealed is nowhere near completion by the way. Kanye’s trolling of us has stopped since he deleted both his Instagram and Twitter accounts but since Chance seems to be the resident Kanye whisperer maybe he can really help save the rapper from the sunken place. Kanye is still canceled in these parts by the way . Do you agree with Chance’s assessment of Kanye? Or is Kanye just gone? Let us know how you feel. — Photo: Paul Natkin / Getty

Vic Mensa…Apologizes? For Dissing The Late XXXtentacion Right In Front Of His Mother At The BET Hip Hop Awards [Video]

Posted on October 8, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Splash News/Getty Vic Mensa Adresses BET Cypher Freestyle About XXXtentacion Vic Mensa apparently had some choice words for recently deceased rapper XXXtentacion during his BET Hip Hop cypher over the weekend. While his exact words remain unclear until the segment airs on BET on October 16, whatever he said about the slain rapper definitely offended some of his friends and associates…not to mention the fact that X’s own mother was seated in the audience to hear his critique of her son’s actions in life. Granted, Vic holds some deep convictions about violence against women and the intense domestic abuse charges that were brought against X by a former girlfriend while he was alive. As such, Vic chose to speak his mind during his alotted bars. To explain himself, he basically gave all of X’s rabid teen fans a “sorry, not sorry” response on what he had to say…but offered sincere condolences to the rapper’s mother for her loss, and emphasized that he was not aware that she would be in attendance. Protect women. Domestic & sexual abuse are not excusable because you have talent or you are troubled. With that said I was not aware his mother would be in attendance & I offer her my deepest condolences. However, to further prove his original point, he included a few of the…colorful retaliatory comments X’s die hard fans have been leaving for one of his associates ever since news broke that he “dared” speak ill of the rapper. this is the culture that promoting violence against women in music creates. these are messages to the director of my CHARITY IN CHICAGO. these kids are taught that this mentality is ok by their abusive heroes and normalize this shit. I CALL BS! People, particularly the young, have a tendency to idolize and blindly defend their faves regardless of WHAT information comes out about them or their actions. It’s not surprising that Vic is getting these sorts of responses to his comments, despite the fact that 98% of those clapping back have no clue what he actually said. It will be interesting to hear exactly what specifically he had to say when the show airs next week. Do you think Vic is in the right here? Splash/Getty

Chance The Rapper Donates $1 Million To Improve Chicago’s Mental Health Resources

Posted on October 6, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

View post:

C hicago-bred music artist Chance the Rapper has continually lent his voice and resources in an effort to overcome some of the most pressing issues that the Black community is faced with today. The latest cause that the “No Problem” rapper is supporting is the fight for adequate mental health care in his hometown, WSBT22 reported. Chance the Rapper giving one million dollars to boost mental health services https://t.co/6HlKeFBWuV — 13WHAM (@13WHAM) October 5, 2018 Chance—whose real name is Chancelor Bennett—announced that he will be donating $1 million to better the mental health care resources in Chicago, the news outlet writes. He shared the news during a summit that his organization SocialWorks hosted on Thursday. There is often a stigma surrounding mental health amongst African Americans, and Bennet is aiming to change that narrative. As part of his six-figure donation, six mental health care facilities in the Cook County area will receive grants that are worth $100,000. His non-profit—which focuses on educating and empowering the youth through civic engagement and the arts—will also launch a new program dubbed “My State of Mind” that will make mental health treatment more accessible for those battling mental illness. Additionally, Bennett has pledged to donate more money to 20 Chicago Public Schools. Mental health is something that the rapper has personally battled with. In 2017, he publicly spoke about his struggles with anxiety. “Anxiety is now something that I’m just getting exposed to, it’s a big conversation and idea that I’m getting introduced to now,” he said in an interview, according to NME . “For a long time that wasn’t a thing that we talked about, I don’t remember people talking about it… when I was growing up… I’m starting to get a better understanding of that part of my life.” Several celebrities are launching initiatives that are centered on mental health and overall wellness. In August, actress Taraji P. Henson announced that she was launching a non-profit organization that is designed to provide resources for individuals battling with mental illness. SEE ALSO: Taraji P.

Dave East Turns Himself In To NYC Police To Face Assault Charges After Punching A Man On A Party Cruise

Posted on October 2, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Dave East Turns Himself In On Assault Charges Yet another NYC rapper is headed to the courthouse over slapping someone up this week… Dave East is living up to his street rep out here…and it could cost him a few fines and community service time. The rapper is facing misdemeanor assault charges after allegedly popping a man on Pier 40 in NYC while deboarding a party yacht this past July. The incident was caught on camera and briefly went viral on social media: According to TMZ , the man Dave struck, 28-year-old Joel Rosario, says he had no confrontation or even contact with Dave inside the party venue, so he was completely blindsided by the attack and has no idea at all why he hit him. He also claims that he didn’t even know who the rapper was, and police only identified Dave as the man who hit him after an investigation. After the incident, Rosario had to be treated for a laceration above his left eye. Dave turned himself in to police on Tuesday afternoon and was charged with misdemeanor assault and released. He has another court date regarding the charges coming up this December. Hmm…how do you think this will end up panning out for the rapper? Johnny Nunez/WireImage/SplashNews

Posted on October 2, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

 Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images Mac Miller’s Friends And Family Come Together For A Benefit Concert Mac Miller’s family just announced A Celebration of Life, a show that will benefit the newly launched Mac Miller Circles Fund (MMCF). “The support we’ve experienced is evident in this amazing line-up and is a testament to Malcolm’s incredible life,” Karen Meyers, Miller’s mother, said about the event in a press release on Tuesday. “His Father, brother, and I are beyond thankful to everyone who is working to make this concert happen along with every fan and every friend for continuing to support Malcolm and his vision. He was a caring, loving human with a smile that could light up the sky and a soul that was out to make the world a kinder place and the MMCF will continue to do just that.” Mac was close friends with some really great artists, so it’s no surprise that the lineup for this show is impressive. Those who attend will see performances from Travis Scott, Schoolboy Q, SZA, John Mayer, Action Bronson, Chance the Rapper, Earl Sweatshirt, Vince Staples, and more. Tickets for the celebration of life, which is set for October 31 at the Greek in Los Angeles, will be available via the official MMCF site beginning this Friday, Oct. 5. The flyer for the show was designed by Mac’s brother, Miller McCormick. All of the net proceeds from tickets to the show will be given to the Mac Miller Circles Fund, which will be co-managed by Mac’s estate, family, an advisors board, and the 4 Strikes management team. Just recently launched following Mac’s passing, MMCF aims to help young people in underserved communities by giving them access to programming and additional resources centered on creativity and community building. Mac Miller died tragically on September 7 at his home in Studio City, California. Only one month prior, the rapper had released his fifth studio album  Swimming , which featured two acts that are now on the bill for A Celebration of Life, Thundercat and John Mayer.
