Men Apologize With "I'm Sorry I'm Not Idris Elba' Tweets (@Idriselba)

Idris Elba may be every women's perfect man, but some men are tired of hearing about it.

According to BBC America, Twitter user @Nova_isig was tired of hearing about the 'Prometheus' actor and decided to so something about it. The user posted a poem where he says that he's too busy working a 9 to 5 and paying for his lady's bills to be like Idris Elba.

With one innocent poem, many men agreed with him and his view of Idris being the perfect man.

With some defenses like "Idris Elba didn't help you mix the olive, coconut and castor oil with honey to help you make your hair luxurious. I did." and "Idris Elba didn't take in your kids from 3 other men and love them like they were my very own. All me," users played along with the trend.

Love can drive you insane — just ask Kat Dahlia. The R&B singer is quite obsessive over her new love in her latest video for ‘Crazy.’

The Miami native is also fashionable and fierce as she wears a myriad of stylish outfits for the Rankin-directed visual. We’re particularly fond of her black mini-dress with the piano keys print and her high-heeled stilettos.

Special Needs Teen Signs Two-Day Contract With Philly 76ers

Kevin Grow has been a beloved part of Bensalem High School's basketball organization as the team's manager for the past four years, and the 18-year-old senior proved earlier this month that he can ball too.

Grow, who has down syndrome, was asked to suit up for the final two games of the season. He scored a total of three points in the first game, but it was the second game where he had the roaring crowd on its feet. Wearing jersey number 33, Grow knocked down four treys in the final two minutes of the game, including a buzzer beater.

It seems the Philadelphia 76ers took notice of the teen's epic performance. The team announced Monday they are signing the senior to a ceremonial two-day contract.

Grow will be on center court with his new teammates Tuesday night when they go against the Cavaliers at the Wells Fargo Center.

The Sixers are reportedly taking tips from Grow on their own three-point game.

Grow will also get his own custom Sixers jersey.

Kesington Kross Woos His Lady in 'Gimme Your Love' Video

There’s a lot going on in Kesington Kross’ new video for ‘Gimme Your Love.’ The singer and his band play in a dimly lit warehouse while wearing dystopian punk clothing. A keyboardist wears a mime-like mask. Another man dies while his lover mourns over him.

It’s all a bit chaotic, but at the center of it is Kross finding love. She’s literally the sunshine to his life as most of their scenes occur in the daytime as opposed to the urban nighttime backdrop of most of the performance. “She make me wanna say, ‘Oh,’” Kross sings as he frolics with his girlfriend. It’s Prince-like dramatics and Miguel-like suave all in one.

Although there’s no word on when Kross’ debut album will arrive, for now ‘Gimme Your Love’ is a good holdover. The single is available on iTunes. His EP, ‘Audio Justice,’ debuted at the close of 2013. The crooner, signed to Epic Records, is currently opening up for Kat Dahlia on tour. Check out the dates below.

50 Cent Calls Out Jimmy Henchman on Murder Charges (@50Cent)

News of former music executive James 'Jimmy Henchman' Rosemond circulated around the web this week after trial began on the murder of G-Unit affiliate Lowell Fletcher in 2009. 50 Cent gave his outlook on the trial via Instagram with the photo above.

The rapper captioned the meme, "LMAO THIS BOY SOLVED EVERY CRIME IN NEW YORK. Old gangsta jimmy,go a head tell some more sh*t killer. Lol"

Rosemond is already serving a 60-year sentence for heading a massive drug ring through his record label. The current case will revolve around the death of Fletcher, who was allegedly killed by men hired by Rosemond. It is believed the cause of Fletcher's death was payback because someone else in the G-Unit camp slapped his teen son.

Rosemond has managed artists such as Brandy, Salt-n-Pepa, Sean Kingston, The Game and Akon.

Draya Michele: I'm the Most Popular Basketball Wife (@@drayaface)

Basketball Wives LA star Draya Michele recently made claims via Twitter that she is the most popular basketball wife out of the cast. The comment stems from an ongoing feud with fellow BBWLA castmate Jackie Christie's daughter, Chantel.

Draya reportedly is upset with her portrayal during this season, with her plotline focusing primarily on her relationship with Orlando Scandrick of the Dallas Cowboys. Chantel was rumored to have been dating the football star first, and mother Jackie confronts Draya about the situation in the new trailer for the upcoming season, accusing Scandrick of beginning his relationship with Draya before breaking it off with Chantel.

Draya believes the Christie's made up the scenario for the cameras and that her image is being manipulated for ratings. See their exchange via Twitter below.

Meek Mill Talks New Single With Chris Brown, Building His Brand [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW]

Craig Barritt, Getty Images

On Thursday (Feb. 6), Maybach Music Group’s Meek Mill sauntered through the Puma Lab in Decatur, Ga.’s South DeKalb Mall with the confident swagger of an artist who’s ready to release new music sooner than later.

Just a few days prior, the ‘Dreams & Nightmares’ creator told Vlad TV that his sophomore studio album is about 70 percent complete. When The Boombox caught up with him at the Lab, he offered a few more tidbits about his upcoming project. “I ain’t really do my collaborations yet but I want the best on there,” he says with a grin. “I want Jay Z, Kendrick, Drake, Rihanna. I actually worked with Chris Brown, I think we gon’ run with that one as the single.”

Will these A-list guests steal Meek’s shine on his sophomore album? “Nah man, I always just love making music and having fun,” Meek discloses. “I’m always gonna be all over my CD the most, of course. My talent is my talent. I ain’t really tripping off no ego, I just like to make good music with good people.

Meek is hitting his stride in regard to the album release but there are still more than a few details to narrow down. “I don’t think [making an album] is hard man,” he shares, shrugging. “The hardest part is just picking the songs because I have so many songs and most of them are good so it’ll be tough to narrow them down to an album.”

From spitting breathless freestyles on grimy North Philly corners for ‘Smack’ DVDs to shining with Rick Ross on stages across the nation, Meek Mill has come into his own. Who would have thought that the then-braided ‘Flamers’ creator would be pushing Pumas and collecting checks for it. His advice to young up-and-comers following the same path? “Just build your brand from day one, man,” the 26-year-old rapper explains. “Your brand is your name basically. A lot of people don’t know that they need to build their brand, your brand is what keeps you moving.”

“Keep it looking good,” he adds. “Keep it running and that’s what’ll keep you paid.”

Maino stopped by the Power 105's The Breakfast Club with a very intriguing accessory. The rapper sported a crown with flashy rings to talk about his King Of Brooklyn EP, appreciation of Jay Z and Fabolous, and why he's cool with Trinidad James.

"I'm hearing a lot more New York City artists being played and that's the whole thing...I promote New York unity," Maino said after his blow up with Trinidad James over his NY comments.

"I promote us standing next to each other being unified because we all in different lanes. I don't sound like nobody. When you hear Maino you know that's Maino. So, it's no reason for me to hate on the next man. There's no reason for me to try to make myself try to be bigger than him."

He also told the crew about the meaning behind the K.O.B. title and owning his position in Brooklyn.

"Me saying 'I'm the king' is not to 'pedestalize' myself...It's not for me to 'pedestalize' myself and then try to shit on the next man. It's not about that cause king is a mindset. We all kings."

He also showed love to fellow Brooklyn rappers Biggie Smalls and Jay Z, noting them as gods. "Jay Z s the King, OG to the world." he says. "I'm just claiming my little position in America. Biggie and Jay are rap gods."

"Of course, it can make it easier. She understands music. She understands that I work a lot. She understands [music] videos, just being on the set all day. And timing is everything.

You've just gotta find a balance to everything.

He mentions that "everyday is special" with her and that the two are focused on making their future together a priority.

People Can't Identify Malcolm X In Black History Quiz (@cthagod)

As Black History Month continues, Charlemagne Tha God hit the streets of New York for a special skit for his show Charlemagne and Friends. The radio personality hit the subways of New York to test people;s knowledge on the iconic figures in Black History. To his surprise, many didn't recognize civil rights icon Rosa Parks and Malcolm X.

When asking an black guy if he knew about black history he claimed that he didn't know much. One man believed Malcolm X was Tookie Williams, leader of the Crips gang in LA.

People also mistook former Secretary of State Condeleexa Rice for first lady Michelle Obama.

On the contrary many people were able to identify director Tyler Perry. "That's that guy that plays the woman in that movie" one bystander says.

Check out the show when it airs tonight at 11:30 on MTV2.
