Floyd Mayweather Tops Forbes' List of Highest-Paid Athletes (@FloydMayweather)
Floyd Mayweather has never been shy about his wealth. The man is a money making machine, and now the top authority on financial dealings, Forbes Magazine, has crowned him the highest paid athlete in the biz, raking in $105 million in the past year.
LeBron James came in third with a not-too-shabby $72.3 million, while Kobe Bryant brought home $61.2 mill -- not bad for someone who hasn't hit the court in months.

Drake Leaves Maxim Hot 100 Party When Chris Brown Shows Up (@chrisbrown)
This Tuesday (June 10th) Drake hit up the Maxim Hot 100 party sponsored by Patron and the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood to kick it with a few fine females and other celebrity friends. However, according to Hollywood Life, Drizzy's night came to a quick end once he realized a newly free Breezy was in the building.
Drake reportedly arrived around 12:15 AM and chopped it up with "Fancy" collaborator T.I. before he was made aware that Chris Brown arrived soon after him. One eyewitness claims the superstar then made a quick exit.
"Once [Drake] found out that Chris Brown was there he left the building," the witness told Hollywood Life. "He didn't want to be there with Chris in the building."
Chris Brown and Drake have gone on record saying they're not fans of each other, and of course there's that whole Rihanna thing. Do you think Breezy showing up to a party would actually make Drizzy leave though? Sound off below.

Twitter Roasts Mario Chalmers With #PGsBetterThanChalmers Trend
The San Antonio Spurs are currently leading the NBA Championship series 2-1 against the Miami Heat. Game 3 of the series left much to be desired from Miami, with the Spurs hitting 19 of their first 21 shots and gaining a 25-point lead before halftime that sustained them 'til the last buzzer.
One key problem has been point guard Mario Chalmers' game, or lack thereof, according to Twitter. The PG has been all but absent these last 3 games and social media is calling him out for it.
Check out some of the hilarious slides above of the hashtag #PGsBetterThanChalmers.
Exclusive! Rasheeda Not Shocked by Racist Justin Bieber Remarks (@rasheeda)
Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta's Rasheeda sat down with VladTV and shared her take on Justin Bieber's racist jokes and song where he uses the N-word several times.
Rasheeda says she isn't shocked by the pop star's behavior at all, and thinks it's crazy how he wants to appropriate black culture yet say those things:
"You want to hang around black people, you want to act black, you want to sing songs that sound black and everything, but then you want to sit there and pop that off. To me it's just like a whole bunch of hypocritical sh*t. At the end of the day that race card is just evident."
She also said that while she may give a pass to a young kid, say around 10 years old, as a teenager (Bieber was 15 at the time), you know what's appropriate and what's not. She also remarked that nowadays you can't determine if this kind of slip-up will ruin a career or not because people change their opinions all the time.

Exclusive! Swollen Members on Drake, Mainstream vs. Lyrical Rap (@swollenmembers)
Canadian Hip-Hop duo Swollen Members sat down with VladTV to discuss Drake's success, how he's changed the worldview of Canada, and their take on mainstream vs. underground Hip-Hop.
Madchild started off by revealing that he's surprisingly a huge Drake fan, and admires what the Toronto native has done in terms of changing how the world sees Canadian music.
"I think he's representing our country incredibly well. He's an anomaly, he's one of the biggest stars in the world. I think him being from Canada and handling his role responsibly and holding himself together while he's doing everything, I think we can be nothing but proud of him."
When asked about mainstream American Hip-Hop vs. more lyrical Hip-Hop, Madchild says there's room for both, giving the example that sometimes we just want to celebrate life and not analyze so much, therefore songs with simple hooks work in the club when you want to let loose.
Prevail then speaks of drawing inspiration from unique and unconventional places, and loves the fact that Hip-Hop is still a place where people can tell their individual stories and strive for more.

J. Cole Explains His Appearance on MTV's 'My Super Sweet 16' (@jcolenc)
As J. Cole celebrates the five-year anniversary of The Warm Up, the rapper shared a few embarrassing stories of his come-up with Sway for Rapfix.
The "Born Sinner" rapper tells the story of the time he snuck into Aaron Reid's birthday party in hopes of meeting Jay Z. While he didn't know Reid at all, the then 20-year-old was asked questions about him and played along in the interview.
"There was a girl at my school at St. John's and it was my senior year in college and she interned up at the label so she asked did anyone want to go to the 40/40 Club because they're having a Sweet 16 for Aaron Reid and it's an MTV thing," he said. "We didn't know who he was but it was L.A Reid's son. At first I was like 'Girl, I'm 20 years old, what you mean Sweet 16?' but then she was like, 'Swiss Beats gonna be there, Jermaine Dupri gonna be there, Kanye West gonna be there,' so me aspiring rapper, aspiring producer, the light bulb went off. So I said 'Say no more, I'm there.' I just got this t-shirt made 'Produce For Jay Z Or Die Trying' so I wore that. I knew one day I would be where Jay was and I would be wearing that shirt so that was the plan in my mind."
MTV's cameras picked the rapper and his friends to say something about Reid's big day. While Cole didn't know Reid at all, he was asked to play along for the sake of television.
"I feel like I said some funny stuff that they didn't use," he said. "We get to the front door and they got the cameras on us and its television so we learned real quick how television works. We walked up to the front and they were like 'How do you feel about Aaron turning 16?' So I said, 'Hey we don't really know him we just came for the party.' And they lady said it was okay but we had to say something.
"So I said, 'Yea we're Aaron's best friends, we had to come out. This party is crazy man.' I just started being goofy as possible. Every question they asked I would say, 'Aaron's the man!' and when they asked us what he was getting, one person said 'I heard he was getting a car,' someone else said 'I heard he's getting a watch,' and I said, 'I heard he's getting a plane!' just trying to be extra as possible hoping they might use it not knowing one day I would be sitting here talking to Sway about it.
The rapper was also caught in the audience of Dave Chappelle's "Block Party" in 2006.
"I was at Dave Chapplle's Block Party too," he said. "People be catching me."

Lil Debbie Says White Girl Mob Were Pioneers In The Rap Game (@L1LDebbie)

"I would definitely say that the White Girl Mob were pioneers. I think it's sad today to where we've all ended up with each other, but I would say that Kreyshawn changed the game. I heard "Gucci Gucci" before she put it out and I looked at her and I was like, 'B****, what the f***. You are about to change the game."

Deelishis Denies Dating Teenanger On Instagram (@iamDeelishis)
Model and former reality star Deelishis is lashing back at rumors of her dating an underage teen.
Reports began to rise Thursday after a teenager posted pictures on Instagram in the model and several other photos of the two together, suggesting that a relationship was going on.
The gorgeous lady took the time out on Instagram Thursday afternoon to breakdown her relationship with the teen, who happens to be a close family friend.
"I WANNA BE SOOOOOO PISSED RIGHT NOW," she said."BUT SOME SHIT YOU SET YOURSELF UP FOR! IVE SAID IT A MILLION TIMES ALREADY THAT THIS CLOSE FRIEND TO ME & MY FAMILY IS NOT MY FREAKIN LOVER, MAN, COMPANION NOR BOYTOY, BUT EVEN I MYSELF WOULD THINK THAT IF I DIDNT KNOW ANY BETTER BASED ON PICTURES. THIS YOUNG MAN HAS BEEN AROUND ME FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW."
She also says that she was aware of the teen posting photos of her because she knew he was a fan of hers.
"HE IS CLOSE TO MY FAMILY & MY FRIENDS. ITS NO SECRET HE HAS THEE BIGGEST CRUSH ON "DEELISHIS" & LIKE ANY OTHER BOY HIS AGE WOULD DO, HE CALLS ME "THE BAE, HIS BOO, HIS WCW, HIS BABYMAMA, HIS WIFE, THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE, ETC. BUT ANYONE WITH GOOD COMMON SENSE WOULD KNOW THESE THINGS ARENT TRUE! I DEEMED HIS CRUSH HARMLESS, AS I HAVE WITH TONS OF YOUNG BOYS (AND GIRLS FOR THAT MATTER) HOWEVER THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM AND HIM IS THAT HE HAS BEEN GRANTED ACCESS TO ME AND MY SURROUNDINGS AND FAMILY FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. SO HE DECIDED IM ASSUMING FOR "BRAGGING RIGHTS" TO TAKE PICS AROUND MY HOME! IM MAD ABOUT IT BUT I CAN ONLY BE MAD AT MYSELF! I NEVER WORRY ABOUT THE PEOPLE I ALLOW IN MY SPACE. I ASSUME DISCRETION AND COMMON SENSE WILL BE PRACTICED WHEN YOU ARE AROUND ME BUT THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AND NOW I LOOK LIKE A SICK COUGAR OR SOMETHING."
Check out the rest of her rant above.
