K. Michelle Cancels Tour To Find Happiness In South Africa (@kmichelle)

K. Michelle has decided to cancel her upcoming tour and retreat to South Africa.

According to Madame Noire, the "V.S.O.P" singer cancelled The Rebellious Soul Tour (Part 2) this week to find more musical inspiration and self-awareness in Africa. The singer posted a special note to her fans on Facebook about the decision.

"Dear Rebels, I will not be doing the Rebellious Soul Tour (Part 2)," she said. "I personally decided that I wanted to take the next couple of months to journey off to some different places. A writer has nothing to write about with no inspiration. I will be traveling to South Africa to spend some time preparing for my new album #AWBAH, and reflect on the woman that I've become. I need this time for myself. So much has happened so quickly and I'm forever grateful. The only noise I desire to hear is the inner music. My soul has a song to sing and I have to be quiet to hear it. I have so much in store for you. I promise! Love y'all!"

This year the singer also cut ties from her reality tv career by leaving Love & Hip Hop to focus on her music career.

Nicki Minaj Talks 'The Pink Print,' Lil Wayne, 'Chi-Raq' + More

Kevin Winter, Getty Images

Nicki Minaj is ready to show aspiring female rappers how to be successful in the rap game on her third album, ‘The Pink Print.’

In a BBC Radio 1Xtra interview with DJ Semtex, the Queen Barbz compared ‘The Pink Print’ to Jay Z’s classic 2001 album, ‘The Blueprint.’

“Jay has had his ‘Blueprint’ albums and that’s what I feel like this album’s gonna be,” she said. “I really feel like this album will be like a Blueprint for female rappers to come.”

“This album is more confident. It’s more focused,” she continued. “The second album ['Roman Reloaded'] lacked a little bit of focus. The first album was very focused and very raw and just real. I’m addressing things that I’ve never addressed before on the third album, which is another thing that I think my fans are going to love.”

Minaj discussed a myriad of topics, including who spitted the best freestyle on her song, ‘Chi-Raq.’

“The Game bodied it. He kinda surprised me,” she said. “That was one of the most lyrical Game verses I heard in years. I didn’t really expect him to go that crazy on it. That was one that really stood out to me. He was mad. Somebody made him mad or something.”

When asked about her latest song, ‘Pills N Potion,’ in which Minaj sings on the track, the Young Money rapstress wanted her first single to be something unexpected. “People never heard me sing like that in that tone,” she said. “I think it was something fresh and new.”

Finally, Minaj spoke highly of her mentor and boss Lil Wayne. She’s not sure if he will appear on ‘The Pink Print’ but he has been supportive of the music so far.

“My connection with Wayne is so deep that I don’t gotta be on his album and he don’t gotta be on my album for him to always play a role as a mentor in my life,” she said. “One of the biggest motivators in my career was just watching Wayne’s work ethic when I first came in the game. I would see him go so hard and do so many features and do so many mixtapes and do so many albums, and I was just like, ‘Yo, this dude don’t get tired.’ I’m just in love with him. He motivates me like a fighter.”

Rick Ross Ditches Detroit Concert After Being Scared For His Life [VIDEO]

Rick Ross appears on the DJ Khaled single, ‘They Don’t Love You No More,’ and that seems to be the case in Detroit. On Saturday (June 21), Rozay was scheduled to close out Hot 107.5 FM’s annual Summer Jamz event in the Motor City but was denied.

According to MLive, Hot 107.5 Program Director Jay Hicks announced onstage that Ross was confronted by 100 individuals — reportedly Detroit rapper Trick Trick and his goon squad — in front of the venue. After a brief skirmish, Ross decided to leave the venue altogether.

“He is in fear of his life and that n—- is not performing here tonight and he may never come back to Detroit, and that’s no bulls—,” Hicks told the disappointed crowd.

Apparently, Ross is on Detroit’s “No Fly Zone” list, which means that any rapper who doesn’t collaborate with Detroit artists or pay a tithe to the city, are not welcomed. In the past, Trick Trick has enforced this rule reportedly on Young Berg, Trick Daddy and Styles P.

The incident doesn’t appear to have faze Ross much. In light of what could be an embarrassment to his rap image, he went on his Twitter page to announce that he still has plenty of love for Detroit.

“Luv #Detroit I wuz ready to killm unite, heard it wuz a peace protest wit picket signs and locked gates haa,” he tweeted.

In the end, it looks like artists will have to pay their respects to Detroit before they can perform in the city.

50 Cent: Jay Z Is the Most Overrated Hip-Hop Star (@50cent @s_c_)

50 Cent is still making his publicity rounds, promoting his show, "Power" album "Animal Ambition," and talking up the reunion of G-Unit. Last night he stopped by Bravo TV's "Watch What Happens Live" hosted by Andy Cohen and played a game of "Plead the Fifth" where he answered three quick questions, pleading the fifth to only one.

Never being the type to withhold his opinion, 50 answered all 3, and when Cohen asked him who he believes is the most overrated rapper of all time, he easily replied Jay Z, even quoting a line from Hov on "So Appalled," where he said he'd rather be "overrated than underpaid."

Is Hov the most overrated? If not, who is? Sound off below.

DJ Khaled, Meek Mill, French Montana and Rick Ross are ballin’ in their new video for the posse track ‘They Don’t Love You No More,’ which premiered on MTV Jams today (June 22).

In the Gil Green-directed clip, the foursome are stunting on their haters in various Miami locations. Mill is popping wheelies on a motorbike, while Rozay and Khaled hit golf balls on top of their Maybach vehicles. The fellas end their day-long activities at the marina where they pop champagne bottles while watching b-ballers hoop it up and bikini babes dance to the music.

Sadly, Jay Z, who also appears on the song, is no where to be found in the video. However, partygoers Timbaland, Ace Hood and Internet star Lil Terio pick up the slack and rap Hov’s verse in his place.

DJ Khaled’s eighth studio album ‘I Changed A Lot’ is expected to hit stores later this year.

adidas ZX 500 2.0 W 'Camo'

Sivasdescalzo

The retooled adidas ZX line is really onto something. We say this because just a glance at the all new tricked out adidas ZX 500 2.0 W silhouette is giving us those “must-cop” and “summer banger” vibes that only bubble up to the surface occasionally.

The sneaker gets a foot hugging neoprene mesh body that utilizes leather mid paneling as the foot stabilizing lace plate. The sneaker’s heel is capped off by suede however for a bit of textural play and the tonality of it all is broken by the use of camo on the lace plate.

These are gonna be someone’s summertime staple for sure as they definitely warrant sockless wear and look incredibly comfortable.

Select online retailers like Sivas Des Calzo have them in stock now in limited sizes for $130.

Kanye West wants to take his talents to Instagram.

During his interview at Cannes Lion International Festival of Creativity on Tuesday, the rapper believes the Internet is an ugly place and would love to redesign the popular social media app Instagram.

"The world as a whole is f****** ugly," he said. "The Internet as a whole is f***** ugly, too."

"Why don't you let us redo Instagram? Now, you know, Instagram is nice. It's nice looking - I'm not knocking it," he said. "But in general, everyone spends all of their time looking at their screens or their phones. And just as a simple task, we could clean that up."

She Wasn't Ready! Kevin Hart's GF Goes In on "Fat, Unhappy" Fan (@kevinhart4real)

Kevin Hart's boo Eniko may have kept quiet when Hart's ex-wife went at her, but when it comes to random fans on Twitter, she's not having it.

Eniko recently took to Instagram to repost a pic of her man with Jiff the Pomeranian, along with this caption:

"OMG- I'm so mad I didn't get to meet him today. Like for real I need that dog babe. Make that happen! ugh! #imobsessed #doggyLover"

The whole "make it happen" line set off a few Hart fans who began implying Eniko needs Kevin to buy her things, asking why she couldn't "make it happen" herself. She didn't take too kindly to them implying she was a gold digger and proceeded to go off on one "fat, miserable" fan.
