Internet Celebrates the Return of Lil Boosie With #BoosieHome (@boosieofficial)



In 2011 Lil Boosie, whose real name is Torrence Hatch, plead guilty to three counts of conspiring to bring drugs into a penal institution. Judge Mike Erwin sentenced him to eight years in prison. Investigators said he tried to smuggle drugs into Dixon Correctional Center once and into Angola State Penitentiary twice.


In December 2012, Boosie's attorneys were able to argue that the drug ring charge was a set up. This was because the informant offered to provide codeine syrup for Lil Boosie, an admitted codeine addict, in exchange for his help.


According to a news report from the New Orleans' The Times-Picayune, Boosie was expected to be released from prison on August 18, 2014, but surprise surprise, the Baton Rouge native was released this Wednesday according to WAFB.


Twitter & Instagram wasted no time welcoming the rapper home with hilarious tweets and pics to celebrate. Peep the best of the best above.


Gambler Sues Casino After Losing $500,000 While Blackout Drunk



A wealthy businessman who squandered a half-million dollars at a Las Vegas casino on Super Bowl weekend is arguing that he doesn't have to pay because he was blackout drunk at the time.


Mark Johnston, 52, arrived at the Downtown Grand casino to play high-stakes pai gao poker and blackjack, losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process.


Johnston, who reportedly made his fortune in car dealerships and real estate, believes he should be absolved of the debt because the casino broke Nevada law by allowing him to gamble while visibly intoxicated and continued to serve him drinks despite his wasted state.


"It's certainly an extraordinary case. This is not a story that I've ever heard before, where someone was blackout intoxicated where they couldn't read their cards, and yet a casino continued to serve them drinks and issue them more markers," Johnston's attorney, Sean Lyttle told the Huffington Post. "It's a very heavy-handed and unusual approach that we haven't seen in this town in a long time."


Johnston and his lawyer are relying on surveillance video and eyewitness testimony to prove his case.

Man Claims Michael Jackson Is His Father Due to DNA Test Results


A singer claiming to be Michael Jackson‘s illegitimate son has DNA evidence as proof that he is the King of Pop’s child.


TMZ reports that there is a 99.9 percent chance that Brandon Howard is Jackson’s son. At a press conference announcing the test results, FilmOn.com owner Alki David claims there’s a DNA match between Howard and Jackson. The late singer’s dental impression from a Beverly Hills doctor was obtained by David at an auction. That impression was used to retrieve DNA.


Gospel singer Miki Howard is Brandon Howard’s mother, who was managed by Joe Jackson during her career. In 1982, the songstress went by the name “Billy.’ One year later, Michael Jackson released his hit ‘Billie Jean,’ which included the lyrics, “Billie Jean’s not my lover” and “The kid is not my son.”


What does Howard, who goes by the stage name B. Howard, plan to do with the DNA results? According to the NY Daily News, he hopes to get piece of the MJ estate that was recently valued at $17 million dollars and earning $600 in revenue.


There’s a 2011 music video titled ‘Dancefloor’ — see above — of Howard shamelessly conjuring Michael Jackson’s musical and dance aesthetic. It’s difficult to deny the stark resemblance between Howard and Jackson.



Watch Andre 3000 as Jimi Hendrix in 'All Is By My Side' Sneak Peek


Andre 3000 is certainly bust this year. The OutKast member will not only perform at a slew of festivals alongside Big Boi in the coming months but he’s also preparing for the release of ‘All Is By My Side,’ the biopic on Jimi Hendrix’s life.


The film premiered at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, however, actual footage never made it to the internet. The clip above comes just days away from the film’s screening at this year’s South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas.


The rapper’s portrayal of the legendary rocker has been deemed “impeccable” by critics. The scene above finds Andre as Hendrix confessing to having written a song for Linda Keith, who is played by Imogen Poots. He invites her to the Monterey International Pop Music Festival, which would become a pivotal moment in Hendrix’s career. He notoriously lit his guitar on fire while onstage there.


Even in the newly unearthed video you can see Andre’s method in portraying the musician by asking himself, “What would Jimi want people to know that they can’t get off of YouTube?”

K.R.I.T. delivers a hypnotic hook and insists that he’s the driver with a sense of direction. “Lac, Lac, Lac, Lac, Lac / Slamming the doors in the / Pull up with hoes in the / Diamond in the back, they chosen, posted up / Pouring up / Be it the sticky icky got you rolling up / Hold it up, just don’t be closing up / Open your mind, open your mind / Open your mind, open your mind / This could be the day / You don’t know the road, I could show the way,” he rhymes, which fits perfectly over the laid-back instrumental.


Ferg jumps in with sexually-charged lines. “Crack that 40 ounce / Head into your mama room so I can hear that naughty sound / Don’t play around / Your parents ain’t around and plus your room is packed,” the A$AP Mob member delivers.

Kelis Admits She Was Shocked Nas Rapped About Their Split (@nas)



Kelis admits she's over her relationship with Nas, but was shocked when she heard him rapping about their split on "Daughters." She recently sat down with The Guardian, where she explained that she felt the need to tell her side of the story on her split with Nas on her new album "Food" after he started the conversation.


"I've been divorced for almost five years; it's over, I'm over it. But what I would say is that last year I was made more aware of it because my ex-husband decided to talk about stuff that I hadn't shared with the world. He slipped my wedding dress on to his album cover so now I have to talk about it! I had no idea it was happening, I was like, 'What the...?' But it didn't affect my life. I'm not living that life now. I'm super-content and at peace."


She also opened up about her future in music, "I might make another album. I might make 10 more albums. I might never make another album again. It depends on how the mood suits me. I'm not declaring retirement but I'm just saying that I don't have any musical ambitions any more."
