Kat DeLuna Is All About the Booty on 'Bum Bum' Featuring Trey Songz
Kat Deluna is looking for someone to love her “Bum Bum,” which is the title of her new single featuring R&B loverboy Trey Songz. Judging by the cover art, it shouldn’t be too difficult for her to find somebody to love her assets.
The song, which samples Sister Nancy’s classic 1982 reggae song “Bam Bam,” features the 27-year-old songbird providing instructions on how to give her some good loving.
“If you want to love me, you got to do it right / ‘Cause every queen needs a king who wants somebody all day, all night,” she sings. “We can do it in the shower / We can do it on the floor / You can get it every hour, there’s so much more.” Oh behave, Kat.
Trigga adds his come-hither lines as well, which are inspired by Shaggy’s hit, “It Wasn’t Me.” “Shawty caught be red-handed staring at her butt, so I said what’s up?” he croons.
In a press release (via Rap-Up), Deluna hopes everyone will be shaking their rumps to her bootylicious jam.
“I’m so excited for the world to hear my amazing new song ‘Bum Bum’ with the incredible Trey Songz,” she said. “This song is evidence that music transcends generations, and for that I want to specially thank Sister Nancy for originating such an incredible song that left its musical imprint culturally for years to come. I hope ‘Bum Bum’ becomes your summer anthem!”

Young Dro Arrested for Theft in Atlanta
Do you recall Atlanta native Young Dro? Well, the “Shoulder Lean” rapper is back and making headlines, but unfortunately it’s not due to new music he’s releasing. Dro, who signed with T.I.’s Grand Hustle Records in 2004, was recently arrested for theft in his home state.
On Saturday (March 29), the artist was reportedly arrested and charged with theft by conversion of leased or rented personal property stemming from a February incident, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
While he was in custody, officials found out he had a warrant for his arrest for an unrelated incident. “In the process, officers learned of an outstanding warrant for his arrest in DeKalb County,” spokeswoman Cynthia Williams said.
Dro, who released his unabashed anthem “FDB,” off his High Times album in 2013, is being held without bond.
10 Most Shocking Arrests in Hip-Hop
50 Cent and French Montana Take Aim at Each Other on Instagram
A photo posted by 50 Cent (@50cent) on Mar 21, 2015 at 8:23am PDT
Another day, another beef. This time, 50 Cent and French Montana are throwing jabs at each other on Instagram.
It appears that 50 Cent instigated the spat when he posted a photo of his new Effen Vodka brand. In the caption, Fif wrote “#noPuffyjuice,” which is a tiny jab at his competitor — Diddy’s Ciroc vodka brand.
French Montana, who is an artist on Bad Boy Records, jumped in and posted a photo of 50 Cent’s 2005 GQ magazine cover. While the picture looks innocent enough, we don’t think the “Don’t Panic” rhymer was saluting the G-Unit leader on his sartorial skills. “Stop!!!! Legendary!!” wrote French.
That prompted Fif to post a picture of French and Diddy laying down next to each other, in a rather comprising position, with the caption, “What in the #EFFENVODKA world is going on in this picture man. SOMETHINGS not right.#SMSAUDIO #FRIGO.”
The French and Diddy photo in question is actually from Khloe Kardashian’s Instagram account. Apparently, French, Khloe and others were partying on the roof of Diddy’s mansion during some down time and they took a group picture.
We don’t think this is a serious beef between the two New York rhymers but rather both having some fun at our expense. There’s nothing wrong with a little friendly competition, right?

Game Accused of Threatening to Kill Man, Punching Him in the Face During Los Angeles Basketball Game
Game is an artist known for his gangsta persona and hardcore rhymes, but the Compton MC is just as much of a family man and philanthropist as he is a hip-hop star. But, just like anyone, he can be taken out of his element when a friendly basketball game goes wrong and he has to unleash the smack down on someone.
The rapper reportedly punched a man in the face on Sunday (March 29) at Hollywood High School after a Pro-Am basketball game turned into a heated argument, according to TMZ. Game, who just one week earlier added a tattoo of Mike Tyson on his hand, threatened to kill the man and knocked him dead in the face before fleeing the scene when the authorities arrived.
While the man’s name on the receiving end of Game’s fists has yet to be revealed, we are sure more details surrounding the altercation will come to light soon. In other Game news, the MC is preparing to drop The Documentary 2, his seventh solo studio effort, on June 30.

Rihanna's 'Bitch Better Have My Money' Should Be Banned From Radio, Activist Says
Rihanna‘s “Bitch Better Have My Money” might be one of the hottest songs on the radio right now but there are a few critics who feel the song’s lyrics are disparaging to women.
Outspoken activist Najee Ali is demanding that Los Angeles radio station Real 92.3 remove RiRi’s song from their playlists. In question is the song’s objectionable lyrics, “Bitch better have my money / Please don’t call me on my bluff / Pay me what you owe me.”
The word bitch is considered derogatory to women, although there are several artists who have embraced the word and use it as a term of empowerment.
Ali’s organization, Project Islamic Hope, is launching a “Clean the Air Waves” campaign in an effort to have urban L.A. radio stations take responsibility for playing objectionable content over the airwaves. “We plan on meeting with radio station managers to encourage that they only play the clean version of songs with questionable content,” said Ali in a press statement. Ali is fighting against songs like Rihanna’s, which promote “a negative lifestyle to our impressionable youth.”
On Sunday (March 29), Rihanna performed “Bitch Better Have My Money” live for the first time at the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards. Rihanna was head-to-toe in green Versace including shades and a fur coat. And not to mention she arrived on a huge helicopter perched onstage.
What do you think? Is Rihanna’s song objectionable? Should they play the clean version on the radio? Tell us in the comments below.

Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose Call a Truce Due to New Song 'See You Again'
Sometimes a song is all it takes to mend a bitter custody battle, and that seems to be this case for Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose.
According to TMZ, the former couple have agreed to co-parent their 2-year-old son Sebastian and put an end to their fighting. The two reportedly made this agreement after Rose heard the rapper’s song “See You Again,” off the Furious 7 soundtrack.
Apparently, there was something in these few lines that made the model and actress’ heart soften. “How could we not talk about family when family’s all that we got? / Everything I went through you were standing there by my side / And now you gonna be with me for the last ride,” spits Wiz.
Based on the report, the MC contacted his estranged wife and asked her to listen to the song. She did, cried a few tears and the two talked things out.
The former couple’s waving of the white flag is in stark contrast to where things last month. In February, the Blacc Hollywood creator accused his ex of being an unfit parent. He even exposed photos of her home and said it was too messy for a child to live in. Amber then accused Wiz of being overly concerned with partying — perhaps that’s why she wouldn’t let their son spend his birthday with his dad.
Hopefully, their truce won’t be temporary and they can find some way to get along for the sake of their son.
At this time, neither has said anything on social media about their conversation or their plans to bury the hatchet, which is probably the best thing to do since that’s where a lot of their problems started in the first place. We’ll see how this all plays out in the weeks and months to come.

Lil Wayne's Love Life Explored Through His History With 11 Women [PHOTOS]
While rappers’ lyrics are often centered on the streets and their luxurious lifestyles, they also give their fair share of attention to the ladies. And if there’s any MC who has had much experience with women, it’s Lil Wayne. From his childhood girlfriend-turned-baby-mama-turned-wife-turned-divorcee Toya Wright to music industry connections with Nivea and Trina, he given his heart — among other things — to a number of females.
More recently, Tunechi has been linked to R&B songstress Christina Milian. After the two were spotted holding hands on more than one occasion, it was apparent his previous engagement to Dhea Sodano was a thing of the past. Christina, who is one of Wayne’s newest signees to Young Money, admits she shares a “special relationship” with the “Believe Me” rhymer. However, Wayne’s exes including Karrine Steffans and Nivea, criticize the singer for her relationship with him. But like many of his other flames, this one could fizzle out soon, which got us thinking about his past love life.
After reading about his connection with the women in the photo gallery above, you’ll realize Weezy might have some sharp fighting words on the mic, but he’s clearly a lover at heart. Here’s Lil Wayne’s Love Life Explored Through His History With 11 Women.

Kevin Gates Wants President Barack Obama Out of Office
When it comes to Kevin Gates, the words that come out of his mouth, especially on Instagram, are guaranteed to be controversial.
The “I Don’t Get Tired” rapper continued his streak of saying exactly what’s on his mind — no matter how outlandish — in a new video on the social network. This time, he’s venting his frustrations over the nation’s Commander in Chief, President Barack Obama.
“N—-s so stupid, talking ’bout a change gon’ come,” Gates said. “[Since] Obama been in office I done buried more of my n—-s and more family than I ever did in my life. All he did was f— a n—- money up since he been in office. Please get this n—- out of office.”
Of course, that statement sent fans and critics into a fury in his comments, blasting the rapper for blaming Obama for the increase in youth violence in crime-ridden neighborhoods.
A commenter with the user name kanye.whest came to Obama’s defense, bashing Gates for his logic. “Dear Kevin Gilyard I was a fan until this Bs, right here! What does Obama have to do with YOUR street life ? What does he have to do with YOUR n—-s dying? It’s plenty of people out here dying not just your people.. Df ? Obama stepped into office with A LOT of shit him having to do! ‘When’ you become president (which will never happen because you don’t have the Education or mindset of Obama or any other president tbh) then you stop two wars like Obama , you catch one of FBI most wanted..,” she wrote.
Gates is no stranger to controversy considering he recently shared his anger over the fact a woman would not give his dog oral sex and admitted to having sex with his cousin.
Watch Kevin Gates sound off on President Obama below.
