Meek Mill Helps Pay Cancer Patient's Medical Bills (@meekmill)

While many of Meek Mill's rhymes have to do with blowing money, he's actually built up a great reputation as an artist who regularly gives back. He demonstrated that once more with an immense act of kindness towards a young cancer patient.

A young woman named Gilliane Chrisphonte started a fund raiser at GoFundMe.com in order to help raise money to battle her Lymphoma. Meek Mill in cooperation with popular charity Robin Hood donated to the young woman himself, as well as posting a link to her fund page on his Instagram, helping her to surpass her $12,000 goal.

Mill has chosen not to publicize exactly how much he gave.

Columbus Short Could Soon Be Killed Off Scandal (@columbusshort1)

Over the last few weeks, Columbus Short has been in some pretty hot water. He was accused of domestic battery as well as engaging in a bar fight. Now it seems that "Scandal" creator Shonda Rhimes is considering letting go of the actor by possibly killing off his role.

A source close to production on Scandal revealed to HipHollywood:

"Shonda Rhimes doesn't 'tolerate negative press' and she 'issued him a warning to get his personal issues sorted out.' We are told that if the actor 'continues with his violent behavior, he could get the ax from the show.'"

Only time will tell if Short can negate this negative press, or if Rhimes will keep her word and let him go. Is this a fair ultimatum for the star? Let us know below.

Keyshia Cole Goes Off on DJ who Asks if she's "Wifey Material" (@keyshiacole)

While calling in to Atlanta's V-103 to promote her new single, "Rick James" featuring Juicy J, Keyshia Cole took offense to DJ Wanda Smith asking if the singer was "wifey material." While Smith may not have meant any harm, Cole was clearly offended by the question, as she is currently separated from NBA baller Daniel "Boobie" Gibson.

Wanda: Do you feel like you were wifey material?

Keyshia: You know what? Y'all really f*ckin' with my sh*t right now. I got some other sh*t going on. What y'all wanna talk about? Tell me now.

Wanda: You were so busy, you had your career popping off and you were doing your thing. Then you had to phase out and start doing the wifey things, the cooking, taking care of the kids. Were you really ready for that or were you still trying to do your music thing?

Keyshia: So you trying to insinuate that I was one-dimensional?

Wanda: Don't take it like that because I know at a time in my life, I had to pull back my career and... like with Monica! Right now, she's a little quiet and doing her thing.

Keyshia: Listen! Monica I'm sure is doing her thing. This ain't no first rodeo for Monica. She's been through the ringer, this, that and the other. But at the end of the day, we can handle all that! It's a point of a man taking care of his business. Straight up on that. We good! We handle our sh*t. We do what we do! Period! I don't know what to tell you about that.

Keyshia later took to Twitter to denounce the radio station, saying they were being phony and that they should be ashamed of themselves.

Listen to Keyshia go off on Wanda at the 3:38 mark, and check out the hostile tweets above.
