It looks like Common isn't about to back down from the comments he made about Drake on his The Dreamer, The Believer cut "Sweet". After Drake shot back at him over the weekend at a concert in Vegas, Com went on Sway In The Morning yesterday to confirm that his verse on "Sweet" is in fact about Drake and other artists in his "category". Com says if he wants to battle, the game is on. Archive for October 2009

Looks like all the users of the popular Sidekick device by T-Mobile have been going crazy, because the Danger data network has been down for several days.
According to reports, Microsoft recently purchased the Danger data network, and in the process some “restructuring” initiatives were taken on. Whatever the changes, Sidekick users have been unable to use their data services or rectify the problem with T-Mobile.
T-Mobile released a statement on Saturday, stating that it was hopeful that most data services would turn on within the working day. That time never came.
Data networks are still down, and many Sidekick owners are outraged by the lack of customer service for this problem. Although some good news has come, T-Mobile is assuring that many users would be receiving credits to their data plan.
We can’t help but say……This isn’t the first time something like this has happened with the Danger network. While we were using the Sidekick II for over a year, the data service was greatly unreliable and shotty in many areas that were thought to be “well-covered” areas.
The Sidekick drama continues……

It was a fight between the Queens of Pop!
Check out Lady Gaga and Madonna as they faced off on SNL this week.
The skit is pretty darn funny, as the two ladies playfully fight with one another and make fun of their reigning titles as music icons.
Good stuff right here.

Nelly Furtado recently shared that she was approached by Playboy to pose nude for the mag, when she first hit the air waves with her hit I’m Like a Bird.
In 2000, Furtado says she was offered more than $1 million to pose nude. The magazine was even ready to offer her a $500,000 paycheck to just pose with her clothes on.
“I didn’t want Playboy on my resume at the age of 22.”
“If they ask me when I’m 40, I’ll probably say yes.”
Happy to see she turned down the offer at 22. That wouldn’t have been the best career decision down the line.
See you at 40 Nelly.

Kanye West and curvy girlfriend Amber Rose were spotted in Milan, Italy on Thursday shopping and grabbing lunch together.
Kanye and Amber probably jetted to Italy after it was announced that West’s tour Fame Kills with Lady Gaga was cancelled. Speculation is that the tour was ex’d due to poor ticket sales, and or the backlash from his behavior at the VMAs.
Kanye—–take some time off, it will only help in the end.

Check out singer Solange Knowles in her first photoshoot for Honey Magazine.
Solange covered the mag to discuss her upcoming album, motherhood, and those rumors that she is dating new artist Wale.
On whose closet she’d love to raid: “Probably Björk. It would be a tie between her and Grace [Jones], but I think I’d have to go with Björk because over the years there have been so many different phases and extremes and color. I am a person who loves color and I think it’s the most beautiful backdrop for life.”
Well, speaking of assumptions. I think a lot of people have been zeroing in on Twitter convos between you and a certain Mr. Wale, automatically linking the two of you together. Then we see Central Park photos…
Riiiight.
Whether we’re rooting for it or not… we just want to know.
Well, he’s definitely not my boyfriend.
Well, we can cross that off the list.
No, I just stated that he’s not my boyfriend, but we are good friends. I have worked with him in the past and I think he’s uber-talented. I think he’s really smart and really creative. And I respect his art. We have a mutual thing. We’re on the same record label and yeah…

Matthew Knowles, father to Beyonce Knowles, has found himself in a paternity lawsuit with a 6-month pregnant woman from L.A.
Alexsandra Wright filed the case in L.A. County Superior Court, claiming that Knowles is the father to her unborn child.
Not too many other details have been released, other than Ms. Wright is in her 30′s and currently works in the name-branding business.
This sounds like yet another way of trying to extract tons of money from a music mogul.
Let’s see if Bey acknowledges this one….

It has been reported that Real Housewife of Atlanta, singer, Kandi Burruss‘s ex-fiance Ashley Jewell aka AJ was killed Friday night in Atlanta.
According to sources, AJ was at the strip club called ‘Body Tap Exclusive’ in ATL which he is part owner of. Jewell was apparently hit in the head by suspect Fredrick Richardson. AJ was rushed to a nearby hospital where he passed away from severe head injuries.
Kandi released the following message via her Twitter page:
I could never in a million years imagine this happening. Please pray for AJ’s children. That’s who I’m the most concerned for. I’m just in one of those moods where I don’t wanna talk, I don’t wanna be held & told it’s gonna be ok. I just wanna cry myself to sleep, alone.
Unbelievable. When will the violence end?
Such a tragedy. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
