Hip-Hop Rumors: Who Made Kelly Rowland Cry? Beyonce? Jay? Solange?

Somebody’s gonna get it! What the hell is going on when Kelly is crying after a brunch with Jay, Solange and B?

It was her birthday and she was spotted crying like crazy!

The love of my life was at Gjelina Restaurant in LA when she was spotted and some say Beyonce was also crying too. Unless Jay-Z was crying too, this leads me to believe that she was just having a female emo moment…just just mad happiness. Damn – where the hell was Michelle? I need them to include Michelle in the mix more.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Are Rihanna And Chris Brown About To Be The Next Jay And Bey?

After months of rumors, Rihanna and Chris Brown went public with their relationship earlier this week when it was reported that they were seen kissing, hugging, and dancing together at a NYC night club. According to the NY Post’s Page Six:

“They sat two tables away from each other. Chris made his way over to Rihanna. He raised his shirt and was dancing promiscuously. Then they started dancing together and hugging and kissing in front of everyone.”

Then Rihanna and Breezy did the cliche celebrity hook up move – they took it to the private bathroom. Observers say they were in there for a while and when Rihanna followed Chris out of the bathroom, “She seemed a little ruffled” a source said.

If you follow Rihanna or Chris Brown on Twitter, you’ll see that their fans are in support of their relationship and wish them well. I know they started out rocky, but with a little PR work, do you think these two could be the next “super couple” – in the same caliber as Jay-Z and Beyonce?

Rihanna is one of the most popular singers around and earns loads of money – plus, she makes hits! People are always comparing Rihanna to Beyonce, and Rihanna has improved her stage show dramatically and has incorporated choreography.

Chris Brown is super multi-talented, and if he stays on the straight and narrow, there will be a lot of opportunities coming his way. Remember, he can actually sing, he writes his own music, he’s a pretty decent rapper, he can act, he can draw, AND he is launching a clothing line. Plus, he has a toy line, too. My point is, he has that money earning potential just like Jay-Z.

So, I pose the question, can Rihanna and Chris Brown make it to the stature of Jay-Z and Beyonce?

Hip-Hop Rumors: Meek Mill And Roc Nation Beefing Already?!

MMG rapper Meek Mill just signed a management deal with Roc Nation in May, and it looks like there may already be trouble in paradise. Although Roc Nation has just scored Meek a lucrative endorsement deal with Skull Candy, the rapper blasted the management company on his Twitter account, calling them “dumb.” Check out his tweet below:

Meek’s beef with Roc Nation stems from a performance at a nightclub he was booked for in Brooklyn. We hear security was not up to par, and although Meek was in the venue, he was forced to forfeit his performance.
Instead of being upset with the club, Meek lashed out at his management company over Twitter. As you know, Roc Nation is owned and operated by Jay-Z. I wonder how he feels about Meek Mill essentially calling him a “dumb ass?”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Jay-Z Wants Kanye To Marry Kim Kardashian? Huh?

Star Magazine just threw a curveball to everything we have heard so far. So far, we have heard that Jay and B abhor Kim K. and really wanted to have nothing to do with her until recently. You know, then they started to embrace her more. But, they are now reporting that Jay is encouraging Ye to marry Kim K! What! Now, I have to admit, Kim is fine, but is she the ONE for Kanye? I’m not even going to ask anybody to answer that. But….here is the rumor.

“Kanye West runs everything about his professional and personal life by Jay,” an insider tells Star. “When Kanye mentioned that he thinks Kim is a keeper, Jay said, “Then don’t risk losing her – put a ring on her finger!’”

Now, the Beyonce part is more in tune with with what we have heard so far.

“Beyonce isn’t as keen on Kim as Jay is,” says the source. “She thinks Kanye should take a wait-and-see approach.”

In my mind, this picture says more than that rumor.

Jay-Z Beefs With 40/40 Chef In $1.5 Lawsuit

(AllHipHop News) Jay-Z is suing his former personal chef, who also ran the 40/40 Club’s kitchen, over the menu at the rap mogul’s famous sports bar.

The rapper recently filed a $1.5 million lawsuit against Mike Shand, in Manhattan Federal Court.

According to the lawsuit, Mike Shand failed to perform significant aspects of his deal with the 40/40 Club, which called for him to spice up the menu for the club’s $10,000,000 renovation earlier this year.

But the lawsuit claims that the chef’s lack of performance cost the club lost profits, along with the alienation of its patrons.

Additionally, the 40/40 Club claims it was not able to replace the menu items that Shand was paid to provide.

A lawyer for Shand told the New York Post that his client, who has traveled around the world with Jay-Z, was surprised by the lawsuit.

“Mike’s a great chef, and it is unclear why 40/40 would contemplate a lawsuit against him,” Shand’s lawyer Vik Pawar said. “Nevertheless, we will respond accordingly when he gets served with the complaint.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is There A Jay-Z Movie On The Way?

Is Jay-Z following in the footsteps of Eminem and 50 Cent and putting together a movie on his life? Sort of! According to the NY Post, Oscar winning Director Ron Howard and producer Brian Gazer will be filming Jigga’s “Made In America” music festival in Philadelphia. Whether it’s a documentary or an actual movie, we don’t know…but maybe this will be another “Back Stage” type of film. Check out what Brian Gazer told the NY Post below:

“The festival showcases 20 pre-eminent artists that speak to the new generation. I am producing the film with Steve Stoute and Jay. Ron is directing. It is going to be born through Jay-Z’s perspective . . . how he puts the event together.” Grazer added, “Jay stayed the king for a very long time . . . I can’t even begin to explain how he is capable of remaining relevant. He is a phenom, like a musical Michael Jordan.”

This sounds very exciting! The Budweiser sponsored festival is taking place on September 1-2 at Philly’s Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Fairmount Park. Everyone who’s anyone will be hitting that stage, including Drake, Rick Ross and Maybach Music Group Run-DMC, and even Pearl Jam.

The film is the brainchild of Jay-Z and Steve Stoute. Hov went out and got an Oscar winning director and producer – he does everything BIG! What type of footage do you think will be included in the doc-movie?
