| WHAT'S BEEF? Wale Goes OFF On A Local Rapper & Radio DJ's Posted: 24 Dec 2010 07:44 AM PST
Wale didn't take too kindly to two Baltimore DJ's playing a diss record about him on Baltimore radio. We've got the deets and his response when you read on...
Baltimore rapper Bossman has been coming at DC rapper Wale for some time now with diss tracks. Apparently, Bossman doesn't like Wale just because he's from DC and has more shine, plus there has been a long standing 'beef' between the two regions. Wale typically never responds to the songs other than saying a few words. However, yesterday was an exception.
Wale was in Baltimore for a scheduled show and tuned into Baltimore radio station 92Q. The two radio hosts, Porkchop and Squirrel Wide, played Bossman's latest diss record to Wale called 'Nail In The Coffin'. After the song aired, the hosts made a comment saying, "Wale is going to get beat up at the show tomorrow". This pissed Wale OFF and he called into the station to speak his mind. The conversation was recorded off air. Wale basically said that the station DJ's were promoting the beef and thus promoting violence within the hip hop community. He also said that he's never had a problem with Bossman and that the whole beef is bulls**t. Wale also wanted to talk to Bossman one on one.
Here's Wale's rant:
Although Wale has a point about the radio station hyping the beef, it happens all the time in hip hop. Get used to it. Wale sounds like he has some serious anger issues though.

| Greg Leakes Comes Clean About Feelings Toward Nene Posted: 23 Dec 2010 12:49 PM PST
Greg Leakes did an interview and discussed that now infamous leaked convo with a radio host, his wife Nene, and the "Real Housewivs of Atlanta". We've got the interview when you read on...
Greg Leakes sat down with Kelson and KiKi Brown at 92Q in Baltimore. Here are highlights from the interview.
Greg on the show: "It's a tv show, it's designed for ratings. Unfortunately in our case, my wife and I are going through a storm. We elected to tell people we're going through a real storm. The reason for telling people we're going through a storm is that now I have the opportunity as a speaker to help someone else develop where I failed. So none of that is made up, it's real, we in a Category 5."
Greg on his leaked conversation to a radio host: "There is nobody that I'm aware of that has not said something to somebody else about somebody else that they did not want public. My situation is I just got caught. I can't take back what I said because it was what I was feeling at the time. But what people fail to associate with it is that he said these bad things but look at the context of why I was saying it, I think I'm venting to a friend ! Now I'm not putting it out on the web, or blogs, that was not my intent to demean my wife in any way but that's the way it was recaptured and put out. I pray for that brother. "
Greg on Nene "We are in the midst of a true battle. We don't know where we are going to end up. It doesn't matter where we end up, it matters how we end up. How we end up is taking care of our child. I am confident that we both know how to be good parents. I am confident that we'll always remain friends. I don't know where we will end up. We're good, we're ok with it. The problem is the rest of society has a problem with it. You see me and my wife on the tv show and you think that you know me. You can't know me from 15 minutes on a tv show."
Greg on Bryson's baby rumors "I was told that it was announced that he might be a dad. I didn't read it or see it. If he is a dad, we will have some conversation very soon."
Greg on another season of RHOA "Oh Jesus, I don't know. I'll take it as it goes."
Greg on Nene changing since the show "People change everyday. I change. You can't stay the same. She's more beautiful, she's more elegant, she's more loud. Whether you want to change or not she's going to change."
Hmm. Hopefully these two can work out their differences and stay together.  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| How Much Your Fave Celebs Are Geting Paid For Their New Year's Eve Gigs... Posted: 23 Dec 2010 10:51 AM PST Celebs will be counting their chips in Vegas and having large tabs on Miami Beach next week. We've got the deets on how much dough Rihanna, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and others are really going to be stacking while performing an bringing in the new year... Folks are killing 2 birds with one stone this New Year's Eve. Party hard with your friends...and get paid to spit a few bars while you're at it. According to the NY Post, Jay-Z will count a cool $1 million after performing with Gwyneth Paltrow's husband Chris Martin of Coldplay. Actually, the fellas are getting $1 mill each. They're ringing in the New Year at the brand new Cosmopolitan hotel at its $25 million bash. And in front of 2,500i00 invited guests of course. Damn. Both Beyonce and Gwyneth are set to be on hand with their men, but not going to perform themselves. Meanwhile, elsewhere in Vegas, Rihanna struck a deal to cop $250,000 to sing about her umbrella and ask what her name is at Pure at Ceasar's Palace. Down in the MIA, Nicki Minaj reportedly got a deal for $75,000 to perform at Mansion. While her bestie Drake gets more than triple that for his deal to perform at Wall at the W Hotel south Beach. He's getting a nice $250,000. Trey Songz will also be in Miami to celebrate. And he was reportedly shopping himself for $75,000 to host on South Beach, but ended up taking half to host Lux nightclub. Still not a bad way to bring in the new year doing what you were gonna do anyway...party.
