A$AP Ty Beats Goes In on Fellow A$AP Mob Members on Twitter (@asvpxrocky, @ASAPMOB)
A$AP Mob as a collective has experienced moderate to great success over the last two years. While A$AP Rocky & A$AP Ferg are in the public eye more than the rest of the crew, The Mob is still regarded as one of the hottest groups in Hip-Hop right now.
Much of that is owed to producer A$AP Ty Beats, who crafted hits like "Peso," "Purple Swag," and "Back to the Future" for the crew. According to his Twitter timeline however, all is not well within the family.
Ty Beats took to the social media site to vent his frustrations with his fellow group members, calling them "selfish," "fake," and essentially disloyal, accusing them of putting Cali MC Joey Fatts before him. He also claims he slept in his car while A$AP Yams & A$AP Rocky paid for Fatts to stay in downtown Manhattan hotels.
It should also be noted that a large part of his frustration stems from the passing of his girlfriend, Dejonniza Q White, last fall. She was killed in a car accident in Virginia on October 8th, 2013. Rest In Peace.

One In a Million: Aaliyah Biopic Coming to VH1 This Summer? (@trizzio)
While her fans and fellow artists have been keeping the dream of an Aaliyah biopic alive since her tragic death in 2001, there's never been a concrete statement of intent on behalf of Aaliyah's family to make it a reality. However, towards the end of 2013, the late singer's uncle and former manager revealed that the story may hit the small screen later this year.
"#TeamAaliyah #VH1 "One in a million" The Aaliyah Story @VH1 sneak peek! Merry Christmas enjoy #2014," he tweeted.
Now it seems the film's producers are hard at work looking for the best actress to play the R&B princess. While it's unclear exactly who's in the running, actress Tristin Mays was a strong contender, but didn't book the role:
"Normally I wouldn't do something like this, but a very close friend of mine, @loganlaurice, gave me the courage to speak up about something that's been pending and sitting on my heart. Today, I can't be upset that I didn't book the role I worked so hard for. This may have been the most difficult, emotional, inspiring, and lengthy audition process I've ever experienced. Getting the chance to portray someone I've always loved and admired so much was a blessing every single step of the way. I invested every ounce of my body mind and soul into this process and I can honestly say I'm proud of myself. God definitely has something incredible in store for me. A huge thank you to everyone who believed in me and spoke up for me in the room. And a huge congratulations to everyone in the cast!#TheAaliyahStory. Like Logan said, you're satisfied no matter the outcome of things that aren't in your control. -Tristin Mays"

Famed choreographers and Michael Jackson associates the Talauega brothers broke down exactly how they pulled off the now infamous Mike Jack hologram performance at last Sunday's Billboard Music Awards, sharing that they think Jackson would have been proud, but as a perfectionist would still have his critiques. They also shared that they mainly referenced Michael Jackson's "Dangerous" routines for most of the performance moves.
The duo also got into the audition process for dancers, saying that it was kept very low, and that most of the dancers were born around the time classic albums such as "Thriller" and "Bad" albums were released, so it was a huge privilege to get to dance with Michael Jackson in any way possible.

Apollo Nida Thinks T.I Didn't Handle Run-In Like a Man (@apollonida03 @tip)
In a recent interview with the Breakfast Club, Apollo Nida broke down his fraud case, run in with T.I and why he wants wife Phaedra Parks to be a ride or die chick.
Apollo explains why he decided to take the plea deal for his fraud case. He also explains why T.I didn't handle their run-in for his alleged "snitch" comments properly.
In another interview, the reality star compared his plea deal to Michael Vick and T.I's. After the reality star was cornered by Tip and Killer Mike, he explained how the incident could have been handled.
"First of all, I know Tip. I thought he was coming up being a man, being supportive because he's been through that same situation. That's what I thought," he said. "He was hostile, so I jumped back a little bit and put my phone in my pocket, because if this thing is about to go down then let me get ready. I can't tolerate disrespect. I really played that situation real humble and I was humiliated by it. I didn't even know a camera was running, but that's not how real men handle the situation."
Nida also mentioned why he wants his wife Phaedra Parks to sill be his wife while he serves his time.
"I think Phaedra, in a perfect world, should be supportive as a wife should be but if she chooses to derail from the plan, then that's what she chooses to do," he said. "Apollo is prepared for whatever happens in life. Whatever's been thrown at me, I deal with it. I would like to say I would want her to stay around and do what a wife should do. But tomorrow's not promised."
