Hip-Hop Rumors: What Rapper’s In Trouble For Food Stamps Fraud?

The rumors will be the rumors, but this one is crazy!

There is a rumor in circulation that says Khia, the rapper/ singer has been caught for welfare fraud! Apparentl;y, the rap game has not spared her from needed some extra help in feeding her family. Rumor has it, the entertainer gets welfare benefits in Georgia. She has a pair of teen kids that also get help from the government. But it seems like she manages to make too much money for welfare or something and therefore has been under investigation for fraud. I guess she still gets royalties from “My Neck, My Back.” Anybody somebody said that this may be a lie on behalf of her haters.

I’m out! RIP Sherman Hemsley!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Pusha T Shrugs Off Jae Millz Diss

Welp!

Rappers are dissing each other left and right. Feels like the good ol’ days of Hip-Hop, but according to Pusha T, the quality is lacking. Case in, point, he says the new diss that Jae Millz has for him. If you missed it, here it is:

Anyway, Pusha T talked BET.com and let his side be known.

“I guess they’re doing what they should do — it is what it is.” Pusha replied when BET.com asked him about “Hearing Voices.” “As long as the music is good, I ain’t got no worries, man. Now, bad music I don’t like.”

WELP!

I think Jae Millz should have struck sooner, because the iron is pretty cold right now on that beef.

Rapper 50 Cent Talks Plans For TMT Promotions With Floyd Mayweather

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent recently signed boxer Billy Dib of Australia to TMT Promotions (The Money Team), a new company the rap star is running with world boxing champion Floyd Mayweather.

50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather’s TMT Promotions have already received its promoter’s license in New York and has another application pending in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Mayweather is finishing an 87-day prison sentence for spousal battery.

In addition to Billy Dib, TMT Promotions has already snagged featherweight boxer Yuriorkis Gamboa and super middleweight boxer Andre Dirrell.

According to 50, it was Floyd’s idea to start TMT Promotions as an alternative to the current promotional deals that are being offered to boxers today.

Billy Dib

“I mean, outside of the fact that it was Floyd’s concept, and that it was his idea initially that he wanted to develop a company for himself and for other talent that can execute things without having to be within a traditional situation where you have to completely watch your back, 24/7,” 50 Cent told RingTV.com. “From a fighter’s perspective, you know, it’s going to be exciting to be a part of our company and something like that. When you achieve a certain level of success with your career, you start to do some soul-searching and you start to figure out what you’re actually after.”

50 told RingTV.com that Floyd can spot talent in upcoming boxers, which was another reason that two famous friends decided to go into business together.

“Floyd has an eye. He has the knack,” 50 Cent said. “He can kind of point out talent and things and see things within himself that he sees in some other fighters. Floyd can pin-point something in a fighter and say, ’50, go after that,’ and he can say, ‘go and get him.’  So I went out there and I got him [Dib].

Hip-Hop Rumors: Could There Be A Nas And Jay Electronica Joint Album On The Way?

In a recent interview with the UK’s Benji B, Nas recently revealed that he was down to do a whole joint album with the elusive Roc Nation artist, Jay Electronica. But could those plans still be in the works?

We got a taste of what Nas and Jay Elect could do together on “Queens Get That Money,” the opening track for Nas’ 2008 album, Untitled, or better known as the controversial N-word album. Check out what Nas said about the missed collabo opportunity below:

 ”I wanted to get him to do the entire Untitled album, the N-word album,” revealed Nas. “He had ideas, he was pulling records from J Dilla, he was pulling records. He was there with me while I was working on it. He did the first record on there. It would have been so ahead of its time because no one at that time… He wasn’t signed, he wasn’t out there like that. So it would have been great right now to go back and say, ‘Yo,  this dude produced my whole album years ago.’ That would have been cool. He’s ahead of his time like that.”

So what about in the future, could a joint album between Nas and Jay Elect ever see the light of day? Check out what Nas said about that below:

“Now everyone knows who he is now and some of the mystique would be gone if he did that,” answered Nas. “But who knows how it would come out. Probably would be crazy still.”

Well considering that we’ve been waiting for Jay Electronica to drop some new music for some time now, Nas better not hold his breath!  How do you think a Jay Elect and Nas joint album would sound? To refresh your memory of what they can do together, check out that “Queens Get That Money” below:

Hip-Hop Rumors: What Metal Plaque Did Birdman Give Nicki?

This is weird.

It has been well documented how many units Nicki Minaj has sold. And, that’s OK. But, right now, she has moved GOLD units of her second album, Roman Reloaded. And that’s OK. But, Birdman recently presented her with a plaque of some sort at a recent concert. The nature of this plaque is not fully known, but it appears to be that of a platinum plaque. Well, we’re not sure how they claim such a thing at this juncture. It may be that they are counting sales outside of the United States or something. I don’t know. But, it wouldn’t seem 100% real…I don’t think the RIAA/Soundscan people issue plaques merging all sales together.
