TWEETS IS WATCHING: Memphitz CLAPS BACK Over K. Michelle's Abuse ALLEGATIONS...Says He GAVE Her All Her Fakes ASSets

Posted: 22 Jun 2012 10:22 AM PDT

Rapper Memphitz recently tweeted a comment that many folks think is a veiled attack at reality star K. Michelle over her abuse allegations.  Find out what he tweeted and get her response inside....

When K. Michelle broke down in tears on "L&HH: Atlanta" about an "unnamed" music producer who crushed her dreams and physically assaulted her, many folks pegged the mystery man to be her former manager Memphitz.  Especially since she's called him out by name in the past via Twitter.

And although neither have named names this time around, both Memphitz and K. Michelle have posted tweets which appear to be subliminal attacks on one another about the allegations.  See the exchanges here: 

 

Damn!  He had to call out her fake boobs, ass and teeth though?  In addition to his tweet, Memphitz also attached a picture of Pinocchio.  Ouch!

 

This battle will indeed get even more ugly.  We'll be watching.....

CONGRATS TO THE MIAMI HEAT! 2012 NBA CHAMPIONS!

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 10:07 PM PDT

And finally--LeBron James nabbed a ring!  Tonight, the Miami Heat came out the gate swinging for Game 5.  And played an amazing game against OKC.  The Heat are the 2012 champs!

Final score: 121-106

Congrats are in order for the Miami Heat!  LeBron earned his first ring, Dwyane Wade earned his second, and Chris Bosh, Mario Chalmers, Mike Miller and Shane Battier all copped their first ring as well.

While many were pulling for the youngins who some would call the underdogs OKC (including myself), it was the Miami Heat who came through winning Games 2-5 after OKC debuted in the Finals series winning Game 1. 

After the win tonight, LeBron told media that he learned how to humble himself this year both on and off the court saying:

"It means everything.  I made a difficult decision to leave Cleveland.  But understood what my future was about.  And understood that coming to Miami and we had a bright future.  This is a dream come true for me.  I've been through a lot in the past 2 years."

This is the Heat's second NBA Championship Title in franchise history.

 

P.S.  Anybody else develop a a soft spot for Kevin Durant and the talented OKC during the playoffs?  I did. 

P.S.S.  This is veteran Juwan Howard's first ring (the only member of the Fab 5 to win a ring) after playing in the league for 18 seasons.  The 39-year-old played the last couple minutes of the game.

 

HERE WE GO AGAIN! Online Petition To BOYCOTT "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" Hits The Net

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:05 PM PDT

A few of the 3.6 million viewers who watched the debut of "L&HH: Atlanta" were turned off by the foolywangery of the show's content...and have taken the usual next step after complaining.  They've started a petition to boycott it.  Deets inside....

 

First it was "Basketball Wives," and now VH1's latest docu-soap "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" has provoked an online petition to boycott the show.  The petition says,

After we made a ruckus about Basketball Wives, sponsors began to pull ads. Well, it’s that time again, folks!

While we should respect the perceptions and experiences of the men and women featured on “reality” television shows, networks are airing stories that could be very helpful for people to hear, but they’re telling these stories in EXTREMELY dangerous ways.

We all know premium digital crack rock is ‘slanged’ in digital hoods other than VH1. We also know the problem is not just TV–it’s a big, mean, social monster that we’ve gotta shoot down one non-violent bullet at a time. Nevertheless, somebody’s gotta be the face of this lovely movement. And since VH1 has chosen to give us yet another beautifully-blinged jewel of commercial exploitation (Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta), they might as well be the face of change. By the way, shout out to all African Americans who received Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta as their Juneteenth gift! You won and lost at the same time!

As we work toward national- and local-level change, let’s tell VH1 and their sponsors (again) why people from a broad range of backgrounds will NOT stand for the exploitation of the lived experiences of people who may not even know they’re being exploited. This isn’t a “Black or White” thing, this is a HUMAN thing…and we should all understand.

P.S. That “turn of the TV/your kids’ TV if you don’t want to watch” argument doesn’t work here, VH1. A good number of the kids who are most at risk don’t have the luxury of living with parents who can just “turn off the TV”. Why? Because their parents are out working multiple jobs (thanks to this lovely thing called poverty); one or both parents are on drugs, dead, or in jail; or they’re raised by ill grandparents, relatives who aren’t that interested in their future, or foster parents who abuse them and only foster to collect a check.
 

Meanwhile, Joseline Hernandez isn't letting comments about being a homewrecker OR being a man get her down.  She tweeted, "GM thanks 4 all the positive support as well as the negative the ratings were great!Starting my day off w/Marvin Sapp"Never would've made it"  REALLY!!??

Since the "BBW" petition did result in the loss of a few sponsors, it will be interesting to see if this petition catches on.  Y'all already know my view on this.  There will ALWAYS be a FEW million people out of the umpteen million in America who will constantly watch trainwrecks.  Does that mean we keep appealing to those few folks at the detriment of our teens and kids in our community who will be conditioned to think the actions they see are OK?

Sigh....here we go again.

Awww.

 

And former Love & Hip Hop" star Emily B. tweeted her happy she was for her 14-year-old daughter Taina at her 8th grade graduation:

"So Proud of you Taina!! ❤❤"

Both Fabolous and Taina's little brother Johan were on hand for the happy occasion of course. 

Fab times.  And congrats to the graduates!

Evelyn Lozada Reveals Her Explicit Sexcapades With Chad & Other Women, MaMa Dee Takes Us Down Her Road Of PIMPING

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 02:01 PM PDT

On the latest installment of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kandi Burruss' web show Kandi Koated Knights, "Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada & "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star Mama Dee came on to talk about their explicit sexcapades and pimping.  In that order.

 

Deets inside...

For last night's topic--Why Do Women Have to Work So Hard to Keep A Man--both Evelyn Lozada & Lil Scrappy's mother Mama Dee hit the show to offer up their perspectives.

Evelyn--who is on promo rounds for her new book The Inner Circle and her upcoming reality show "Ev & Ocho" with her fiance Chad Ochocinco--gave a play by play of what she does in bed to keep her NFL man Chad happy. 

Summary: Yes, she happily gives that Becky. Yes, she's had an "eat the box" experience with another chick.  Yes, she tosses salad (but not Chad's).  She and Chad almost had a threesome.  And yes, she's partakes in back door sex even though her fave position is on top.  You're welcome in case you were up wondering about that at night.

As for MaMa Dee, she explained how exactly she previously got into the business of pimping women.  She revealed that she is a Registered Nurse by trade.  But after a car collision in 1996, she lost her job and turned to pimping women in the streets.  Of course.  Because going from the very skilled job of being an RN to being a pimp is the natural progression of events. I see she and Kim Zolciak have more than a few things in common.

She also told the story of previously making her working girls take their clothes off when they came off the street from selling their bodies.  All so she could check their lady parts to make sure they were not stealing.

Dee revealed she previously moved kilos of drugs in the street to support her family. 

She also explained why she told her son's girlfriend, Erica Dixon, on Monday's show that she needs to give Scrappy more attention.  And she stands by it.  MaMa Dee's words of wisdom: Women should be self-confident, BUT be "that Becky."  Thanks Mama Dee.

Here's the full video of the show (Fast Forward to the 30 minute mark to see Ev & Dee).

DO WE LOVE IT: Nas' "Accident Murderers" Featuring Rick Ross

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 12:55 PM PDT

As buzz for his Life Is Good disc builds, Nasty Nas just dropped a club-friendly track featuring Rick Ross called "Accident Murderers." Decide if we love it inside.....

 

From his Life Is Good album (July 17), Nas just debuted another track (possibly his next single) featuring Rick Ross called "Accident Murderers."  The club banger will be on plenty of summer playlists.  Earlier today, he was spotted arriving at BBC Radio 1 for an interview to promote the disc.

Listen to the track here: 

 

DO WE LOVE IT?

 

And in case you are wondering who Nas is checking for in the game, he's spoken very highly of our fave rebellious rapstress-- Azealia Banks.  Esco told Rap-Up, "She has incredible star power, you can see it already. I think we need that. To come across the total package in this game, you need more than just a hot 16 and not everybody is blessed with the total package. She has it."

Don't forget about Nas hitting the Rock The Bells tour this summer!

 

ROLL IT UP: Lil Kim Tweets Herself Handling Her Man's Blunt

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 12:05 PM PDT

If you ever needed a pint sized rap chick to roll you a perfect blunt....Lil Kim let the world know today that she's that chick.  Check out the pics of her doing her man a smoky favor inside....

While hopping from hotel to hotel on her Return of the Queen tour, Lil Kim took some time to roll her new boyfriend, Mr. Papers, a blunt.  Kimmy got her gangsta boo on rocking a New York snap back and stilettos and posted these pics saying, "Rolling a blunt for my boo."

And she also posted the above pic of her and Mr. Papers hugged up before leaving out to party at The Key Club earlier this week.  Hood love.  Always in style....

 

BONUS: Apparently Kim and her boo were caught lip locking at the club recently--next to Somaya Reece--as well:

Oh...

By the way, there's a story making its internet rounds stating that Kim gave an interview to the Phoenix New Times and allegedy called Drake a "Bottom B*tch" and coward b*tch made dude after the fight night with Chris Brown.  But it's a fake.

According to Gossip Cop:

 

The rapper’s rep says the piece is nothing more than a “fictitious editorial,” noting fans should “disregard this nonsense and any other foolishness.”

And the Phoenix News Times‘ music editor tells Gossip Cop that despite claims, there are no plans to feature an interview with Kim “in any of our August issues,” and the publication is currently considering its legal options.

So there you have it.

Fresh off his Lil' Wayne diss, Pusha T is back with "Lambo" which features Swizz Beatz.  Nicknamed “Mercy Part 2,” Pusha T flows over Swizz's club beat and autotuned hook.  Hopefully these rappers were smart enough to ask the Lamborghini people to hook these dudes up with cars on the side...

Listen to the track here:

 

And on the comeback trail.....

 

"Untitled" singer D'Angelo will make his televised comeback on The 2012 BET AWARDS in July.  It will be the first time fans have seen him perform on TV in over 12 years.  Mr. Brown Sugar seems to be staging a huge comeback after successful performances in Europe and at Bonnaroo.

Stephen G. Hill, BET’s President of Music Programming and Specials, said, “Usually, we love to keep surprises…but this year we want EVERYONE watching when D’Angelo takes the stage at the BET Awards!  His talents have been away from us for far too long and we’re excited and honored that he’s decided to make his American re-entry at this year’s BET Awards.”

This year, the show will be hosted by box office record setter Samuel L. Jackson and will include performances by Usher, Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, G.O.O.D. MUSIC, Pusha T, Big Sean, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Wale and 2 Chainz. This year’s Humanitarian Award will go to Reverend  Al Sharpton and Maze featuring Frankie Beverly will receive the coveted Cadillac Lifetime Achievement Award.

The show airs on Sunday, July 1st at 8:00 p.m. on BET Networks.  I'll be watching just for D'Angelo....

 

Also in music news.....

 

R&B crooner Marcus "Pleasure P" Cooper and his company Swagga Entertainment have inked a new deal with eOneMusic.  As Marcus works on his full-length album for Fall/early Winter 2012, Marcus also chimed in about the deal saying, "I am excited to show my artistic growth with this new project.  I'm ready to bring back an element of romance that I feel people still want to hear; music that we can slow dance to and enjoy by candlelight. I'm having fun and blazing new trails with classic style, and I look forward to taking music lovers on this journey with me."

And as a special treat for fans, he has updated his "I Love Girls" track with a verse from Tyga.  Check it out:

 

You feelin' Marcus?
