Gucci Mane Ordered To Pay $60k To Woman Pushed From Hummer

(AllHipHop News) Gucci Mane’s altercation with a woman in Atlanta in 2011 will cost him over six figures in punitive damages.

A judge has ordered Gucci to pay almost $60,000 to a woman named Diana Graham, who was pushed out of the rapper’s moving Hummer in January of 2011, after she refused a proposition for sex.

In October of 2011, Gucci Mane pled guilty and eventually served six months in jail for his role in the incident.

Graham eventually sued Gucci for mental anguish, pain and emotional distress.

TMZ.com reports that Graham won a default judgment, because Gucci Mane failed to show up in court, in addition to submitting false testimony.

If Gucci Mane does not settle the debt, Diana Graham has a court order that allows her to seize the rappers assets, including bank accounts, cars to settle the debt.

“Through this partnership, my lifelong mission of raising the self-esteem of young women and empowering them to feel beautiful inside and out can be realized for years to come,” Tyra Banks told AllHipHop.com. “It’s exciting that TZONE is now a physical space, as creating a place like this for girls has always been a dream of mine.”

Banks’ TZONE is one of the first programs being launched by the Lower Eastside Girls Club, which will open its new 30,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art center in the coming weeks.

The Flawsome Ball is slated to take place October 18. A location and more details will be released soon.

Capone of CNN Arrested On Child Support Evasion Charges

(AllHipHop News) Capone, half of the duo Capone-N-Noreaga, was arrested in his New Jersey home yesterday on a child-support evasion charge for failing to pay thousands in child support.

The rapper presently owes over $160,000 to the mother of his 12-year-old daughter and is supposed to pay $1,500 per month until she is 21.

He has not paid since 2004, according to the New York Post.

Prosecutors said he has made three payments in eight years, totaling $144.

Capone, real name Kiam Holley, has been released on $10,000 bond.

“It is what it is. I know it looks bad on paper, but I take care of my daughter,” the 36-year-old rapper said outside the court room.

Judge Joan Azrack allowed Capone to travel to New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Hip-Hop Rumors: MTV VMA Seating Revealed! Drake, Chris Brown and Rihanna Sitting Arms Length Apart!

After Chris Brown’s rep denied that he would be attending the VMA’s, the celebrity seating chart has leaked  – and Breezy will indeed be in the house. In fact, all three love triangle participants will be sitting front row, just a few seats away from one another. Check out the celebrity seating chart photos that leaked last night:

I hope MTV has some serious insurance putting those three so close together in the front row.  I can’t wait to see the candid camera shots of those three. They’re reactions are sure to be hilarious.

So now that it has been confirmed that Breezy will be in the house, do you think he and Rihanna will surprise the audience with a duet?  A few weeks ago Rihanna asked her fans over twitter if they would like to see “Cake” turned into an official single. Ever since then, rumors have been circulating that the two were going to perform “Cake” at the VMA’s.

We don’t know, but MTV did announce that Rihanna would be opening the show with an A$AP Rocky assisted track. Could that be the ultimate throw off? Will Rihanna grace the stage with Breezy by  her side as one of the MTV VMA’s yearly surprises?
Is America ready for that?
