2 Chainz Responds to Funkmaster Flex's "Worst Freestyler" Claim (@2chainz)

Two weeks ago, Funkmaster Flex revealed to ESPN that 2 Chainz was the worst freestyler to drop 16 bars for the popular NYC DJ. Most didn't look at it as an intentional insult, but an honest answer to the question posed by Dan Le Batard & Bomani Jones of ESPN's "Highly Questionable."

2 Chainz himself, however, isn't giving Flex the benefit of the doubt. At a recent concert, Titty Boy hit the stage and finally responded:

"I don't give a f*ck what Funkmaster Flex got to say about this ni**a from Atlanta. I got to this mother**ker from the bottom...with my own trap money. Fuck you and what you think about me ni**a."

Check out the footage above. Is 2 Chainz overreacting or did Flex have it coming? Let us know in the comments below.

T.I Questioned About Club Brawl, Calls Camerman a Snitch (@Tip)

T.I didn't have much to say to the paparazzi about the tense standoff he and Game had with police after their bodyguards got into a huge brawl with club security at Supperclub in LA Wednesday.

When paps asked him about the altercation and his role in it, Tip says "What fight?"

He continued to joke around with the paps and even called one of them a snitch to his face. He then suggested that the cameramen should head down a new career path that involves a few classes at the police academy.

Wednesday's brawl however was settled (somewhat) peacefully and no charges were filed.

Naya Rivera Dropped From Columbia Records (@NayaRivera)

As rumors continue about Naya Rivera's status on the hit show Glee, Columbia Records has confirmed that the singer/actress has been dropped from their roster.

According to Billboard, the singer was signed to the label in 2011, making her one of the first "Glee" stars with a record deal. Her single "Sorry" featuring her ex-fiancé Big Sean sold 34,000 copies and failed to get a spot on the Billboard charts. Naya sings about groupies and ex-girlfriends and even name dropped Sean's longtime ex-girlfriend Ashley.

The singer was slated to release an album with the label in summer 2011.

Naya's troubles continue as sources confirm that Naya has been written out of the season finale of Glee. Her rep has stated that she hasn't been fired, but news of a hiatus and beef with co-star Lea Michelle have fans confused.

Naya hasn't commented on any of the drama, but did post the busty picture above hinting at a very promising summer.

"#TBT and a little preview of what's to come...it's gunna be a good summer!"she captioned the photo.

Lil Boosie Roars on 'Heart of a Lion'

The streets gotta eat and Lil Boosie feeds them with his new single, ‘Heart of a Lion.’ The Bad Azz rapper is on the prowl and is ready to conquer the rap game with his boisterous new song.

Over a charging beat, Boosie reminds listeners that although he’s a small dude (he’s only 5 feet, 7 inches) his heart is big as a lion and he’s ready to roar.

“I’m only five-foot-seven, like a lion, I’m raw / They be like, ‘How people talk about you I thought that you was tall’ / No, I ain’t tall but I got a very long growl / The look up in my eye make a n—- bow down,” he raps.

Elsewhere, Boosie Badazz recounts how he earned his stripes on the tough streets of Baton Rouge. He warns all prey that he creeps up like a lion and stomps like a giant.

“Underrated my whole life / I love pressure, love blood like a vampire / Love to wet ya n—-,” he spits.

‘Heart of the Lion’ is the lead single for his upcoming album, ‘Touchdown 2 Cause Hell.’ The collection, which features ‘Show the World’ (Remix) with K. Michelle, is schedule to drop on July 15.

Master P Opens Up About Estranged Wife's Drug Problem [VIDEO]

Master P wants to see his estranged wife get her life together. Seven years ago, the rapper and Sonya Miller separated because he refused to let drugs come between him and his family.

In recent days, inside information about the Miller divorce spread, including Sonya’s request for $67 million of P’s money. Both the 44-year-old entertainer and his son Romeo have blasted Mrs. Miller publicly, accusing her of using drugs near her younger children. And that’s the main thing the No Limit founder wants her to stop doing.

“One thing I want to say man, is that drugs is really killing a lot of families,” explained P, when approached by TMZ. “I’m not going to let it destroy my family…..The one thing is she can have it all if she gets herself together. It’s about these kids, it’s about our family.”

The New Orleans native also suggested that he’s willing to help the mother of his children get off drugs, although he doesn’t actually reveal what type of drugs Sonya is on or how bad the problem really is.

But despite the fact that he wants his soon-to-be-ex-wife to seek treatment, P’s main concern is about his children, and he alluded to the fact that Sonya is standing in the way of them progressing and doing well in school.

“I just want to see her get it together, and be a parent for these kids,” he said. “I don’t want my kids to be able to make bad grades. I want her to get it together. Nothing else.”

Keyshia Cole Gets Emotional in 'Next Time (Won't Give My Heart Away)' Video

It’s no secret that Keyshia Cole‘s upcoming album, ‘Point of No Return,’ showcases her feelings toward infidelity and her ultimate breakup with NBA player Daniel “Boobie” Gibson. And in her new video for ‘Next Time (Won’t Give My Heart Away)’, the R&B singer digs deep into her emotions. You feel her pain.

Unlike her gritty and in-your-face video for ‘Rick James,’ this visual shows a softer side of Keyhsia. She sings throughout a big house and dons various outfits from glamorous gowns to a comfortable white pants number. Since the song is about her revealing all the feelings about her cheating partner and heartbreak, there isn’t much of a narrative to the video. Instead, we see moments of her emoting throughout this house.

What makes this video powerful is the pain in her eyes, which we know she’s fighting to get through. While this isn’t the only heartache-centered breakup video out there, Keyshia’s effort s clearly an example of art imitating life. ‘Next Time (Won’t Give My Heart Away)’ will make you want to grab a tissue or two to wipe those tears away.

The Bounce: A Look Into the World of Jersey Club

Yoshi Sodeoka

When most people hear the words “New Jersey,” “club,” and “dance” together in a sentence they might picture the cast of MTV’s ‘Jersey Shore’ drunkenly beating the the beat up in some random club but real heads know that Jersey Club is dance music genre that has nothing to do with stereotypical “guido” mating rituals.

Proudly bearing the name of its state of origin Jersey Club is the northern cousin of Miami Bass and Baltimore Club. The dance music genre born in north Jersey chocolate cities like Newark and Irvington is fast (130-140 bpm), bass-heavy and, of course, cheeky. The mic man who acts as master of ceremonies at the parties will mention the word “ass” a lot and the songs that sample and reconstruct vocals and rhythms from popular rap, R&B and pop songs are designed to incite maximum booty movement. But beyond the the butt what makes the dances associated with Jersey Club like the Jersey Slide, the One Leg Get Back, the Urkel and the Sexy Walk is of course, the footwork.

It’s one thing to see YouTube clips it’s another to actually experience the phenomenon that’s got young people in NJ and now the world over going nuts. At Red Bull Music Academy‘s Bounce Ballroom event Jersey Club luminaries like Cartel Crew’s DJ Sliink and Mike Gip and producer/DJ Fiine$$e will be demonstrating just how live it all gets tonight (May 1) in Brooklyn. You’ve still got some time to practice your Sexy Walk and there’s no need to GTL to get in.

The-Dream Sought by NYPD for Allegedly Assaulting Pregnant Girlfriend

Frederick M. Brown , Getty Images

It looks like The-Dream is going through his own personal nightmare, as he’s being investigated by the NYPD for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend in 2013, while she was still pregnant.

According to TMZ, the altercation took place inside New York City’s Plaza Hotel while Lydia Nam, the mother of The-Dream’s child, was six months pregnant.

Based on Nam’s account, the ‘IV Play’ creator strangled, kicked and punched her. Although the alleged incident happened in April 2013, Nam didn’t report it to authorities until November 2013, and at this point, it’s unknown if she ever sought medical treatment.

Sadly, for the singer-songwriter, this isn’t his first run-in with the law concerning domestic issues. In fact, he and Nam got into an altercation in June 2013 in California, and although the police were called, Nam refused to press charges.

Whether The-Dream will face criminal charges in New York for this alleged incident is currently unknown.

Exclusive! Lord Jamar Talks Black Owner Taking Over Clippers (@lordjamar)

Lord Jamar shares his thoughts on the possibility of a black owner buying the L.A. Clippers, and he believes there's more to it than just someone having a lot of money. He explains that the board has to approve the owner, no matter how much money they have, and likens the group to a fraternity.

The conversation then turns to wealthy athletes, as Vlad shares a story of a retired NBA friend who says no one in the locker room talks about business. Lord Jamar chalks it up to athletes being conditioned to care about material things, not starting businesses.
