Lil Wayne Accused of Threatening to Kill Bus Driver

Lil Wayne‘s temper apparently got the best of him while on tour last year. The NOLA rapper has been slapped him with a lawsuit that claims he was trying to kill a former bus driver.


Mark Jones was hired to drive Wayne and his entourage from place to place on the rapper’s 2014 summer tour, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. Jones claims that he stopped the bus for gas around 11:30 p.m. one night and the stop allegedly made Wayne so angry that he started swearing. The driver was so scared that he actually restarted the vehicle and kept driving despite not refueling.


Jones said Wayne continued to be irate and even threatened to pistol whip him and finish the job by killing him.


There was also one point during the night when Tunechi reportedly approached the driver with an actual gun and aimed it at close range. “I want to get to the hotel now,” Lil Wayne is quoted as saying. Jones says he followed directions and drove silently for 30 minutes.


Now Jones is suing Wayne for false imprisonment, assault and emotional distress. There has been no comment from Lil Wayne’s camp regarding the allegations.

Three 6 Mafia's Crunchy Black Arrested for Drug Possession in Las Vegas

Three 6 Mafia member Crunchy Black was arrested in Las Vegas on Tuesday morning (April 14) after he was caught with drugs.


TMZ reports that Black, also a member of Da Mafia 6ix, was stopped by local police during the wee hours of Tuesday morning after he walked into an intersection while the “Do Not Walk” sign was flashing. He was then caught with drugs, namely methamphetamines, in his possession.


“Oh damn. I was trying to buy that powder, not meth,” Black allegedly told cops according to the Las Vegas police report.


Being taken in by authorities was definitely not something Crunchy Black wanted because he already has two warrants for his arrest. Minnesota police have put the rapper on the wanted list for allegedly beating his girlfriend in a hotel room.


Vegas cops have since booked Black for “possession and for providing a phony name.” He is still in custody and no bail has been reported at this time.


Crunchy Black wants to move on with his life and address his charges in court, his rep told TMZ. We wish him luck.

People Share Their Sexual Experiences with Lil Wayne, Will.i.am and Wu-Tang Clan

Whether it’s sex-filled lyrics or reality shows like Love & Hip Hop, rappers have gained quite the reputation for sleeping around. But what really happens between the sheets when it comes to some of your favorite rhymers?


A reddit user recently posted a thread asking women about their sexual experiences with rock stars. Not only did the user want to know the names of the artists, but they also wanted to know if the sex was good or bad. Soon the anecdotes about entertainers from just about every genre as well as a few famous athletes (ahem, Derek Jeter) started rolling in. Now there are over 8,000 comments featuring very private information about some of the acts you love.


Looking through the top 500, there were a few rappers that popped up. First, there’s Lil Wayne. One commenter wrote about an ex-girlfriend’s roommate who hooked up with Tunechi after a show in Washington, D.C. The good part, Weezy felt generous after their time in bed.


“One of my ex girlfriends roommates slept with Lil Wayne back in college after a show in D.C. When he had finished, he threw a hundred dollar bill at her and kicked her off the tour bus,” the reddit contributor said.


Wu-Tang Clan have also had their share of fun with the ladies. However, the last time we checked there was no white member in the group. But according to one story, there apparently was. The commenter wrote:



I went to see Wu-Tang clan at the Show box in Seattle around 2010 with some friends and one of them, let’s call her Stacy, disappeared toward the end of the show. We were hesitant to leave without her but she texted saying she was hooking up with someone in Wu-Tang and she’d talk to us tomorrow.


The next day she called and said she got “d–ked down”, but then asked me what the white guy in Wu-Tang’s name was.. I got a good laugh off of that one.



And finally, there’s will.i.am. While people know more about who he’s working with than who’s in his bed, one individual said that the Black Eyed Peas member actually gets a lot of action.



“Friend of mine slept with Will I Am from the blackeyed peas. She wouldn’t shut up about it for months,” the commenter wrote. “I was reading a rolling stone interview with the group and the interviewer asked something like “I heard you were at the sundance film festival this year, what did you guys do while you were there?”

the response was comical: “Bought several boxes of condoms and used every single one.”

we stopped hearing about her trophy sex after that.

To all those with the assumptions that will is gay… this was back in 2002. so, maybe times have changed?



At least we know Will practices the “no glove, no love” rule. See more stories about groupies and their bedroom antics with artists here.

Asics Gel Lyte V Hyacinth Violet

Rock City Kicks

Finding a designer to spice up a bland sneaker model has long been a way to move product, which makes it seem like collaborative releases just aren’t that special anymore. That being the case, finding this inline Asics release with a little extra oomph is welcomed.


The Asics Gel Lyte V is already a fan favorite and this time, simple colorblocking makes it more rave-worthy than ever. Its suede and mesh build is given vibrant splashes of purple, red and orange while a grey base cools the hyper tones down a bit.


Being that this isn’t a super limited special edition release you should be able to walk into shops like Rock City Kicks and cop them pretty easily. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t proceed with due diligence and track them down as soon as possible.

Snoop Dogg Invests in Marijuana Delivery Service

Snoop DoggNeilson Barnard, Getty Images

Before folks like Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y starting expressing their love for the sticky green stuff, there was a guy named Snoop Dogg, who’s been rapping about his love for marijuana since the early ’90s.


This is why it’s not shocking to find out that the West Coast rapper has invested his money into a new medical marijuana delivery service. Snoop decided to expand his empire by providing funds to Eaze, Business Insider reports.


After raising $1.5 million in November of 2014, Eaze scored another $10 million in investment funds from various sources. Besides the Doggfather’s contribution, the company received money from investment firms Fresh VC, DCM Ventures and 500 Startups.


The California-based company is one of many doing its best to capitalize on the changing marijuana laws throughout the U.S. Eaze is like an Uber for weed, delivering the smoke to a client’s door within 15 minutes from the time of order.


Eaze’s founder, Keith McCarty, said he’s been putting his own money into the company until its official launch, but after seeing the initial success, he decided to roll it out in a much bigger way.


“It’s been self-funded by me up until now, but with a successful launch we are obviously looking to expand very quickly into other cities, so we are seeking funding right now,” said McCarty in an interview with CNBC last year. “This week is littered with other investor meetings so we are hoping to close a round soon.”


Eaze currently provides service in 35 different cities across the country.
