    Chelsea Handler Admits To Affair With 50 Cent, Explains Split

    Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent were assumed to be in a relationship after the two were pictured kissing one another, but never admitted to an affair – until now. During an interview with Howard Stern this week, the TV personality revealed that she was in a relationship with Fif for two months but broke it off after his former fling Ciara said that she still had feelings for him.

    K’Naan Expands On Nas’ Africa Comments, Says Rappers Can’t Compare To His Background

    K’Naan spoke exclusively with HipHopDX this week, commenting on everything from Nas‘ comments on native Africans vs. African-Americans and how other rappers can’t hold a candle to his background. During the chat, the Somalian rapper elaborated on Nas’ comments that “African-Americans and Africans, we don’t communicate,” referring to his album Distant Relatives with Damian Marley as a way to bridge the gap between the two entities. He also touched on the current conditions in Somalia, stating that the plight isn’t over and that droughts and famine are still constant threats.

    Rihanna Pays Homage To Tupac Shakur With “Thug Life” Tattoo

    Rihanna took her love of Tupac Shakur to next levels this week. In a series of messages posted to her Twitter page, the Bajan songstress revealed that she paid homage to the slain rapper by tattooing “Thug Life” across her knuckles. The platinum singer happened to be in the tattoo parlor in Los Angeles, California with actor Danny Trejo, who was one of the few witnesses to Ri’s going under the needle. Speaking with TMZ, he said that she “didn’t stop saying thug life the whole time she was getting it done.” While some speculated that she didn’t actually go through with getting inked, Ri hasn’t said otherwise.

    1. rihanna is fucking retarded for this shit

      you know shes gonna end up getting that removed in probably less than 10 yrs from now

    2. He under thirty years old but already he’s a pro
      Designer trousers slung low ccause his pockets stay swoll’
      Could afford to get up and be anywhere he go
      V.I.P. at the club, backstage at the show
      (Yes y’all) the best crib, the best clothes
      Hottest whips on the road neck and wrists on froze (say word)
      Checks with O’s o-o-o-o-ohs
      Straight all across the globe watch got three time-zones
      Keep the digital phone up to his dome
      Two assistants, two bank accounts, two homes
      One problem; even with the O’s on his check
      The po-po stop him and show no respect
      “Is there a problem officer?” Damn straight, it’s called race
      That motivate the jake (woo-woo) to give chase
      Say they want you successful, but that ain’t the case
      You livin large, your skin is dark they flash a light in your face

      Now, who is cat dining out on the town
      Maitre’d wanna take a whole year to sit him down
      Mr Nigga, Nigga Nigga
      He got the speakers in the trunk with the bass on crunk
      Now, who is the cat at Armani buyin wears
      With the tourists who be askin him, do you work here?
      Mr Nigga, Nigga Nigga
      Nigga Nigga

      Yo, the Abstract with the Mighty Mos Def
      White folks got it muffled across beneath they breathe
      “I didn’t say it..”
      But they’ll say it out loud again
      When they get with they close associates and friends
      You know, sneak it in with they friends at the job
      Happy hour at the bar while this song is in they car
      And even if they’ve never said it, lips stay sealed
      They actions reveal how their hearts really feel

    3. its funny because the bitch tweeted lyrics to ambitionz az a ridah and was completely wrong! like how hard is it to listen to the song or even look up the lyrics?

      like how do you not even know pacs songs and you’re tatting thug life on your hands in his honour?

    4. all you hating on rihanna should be ashamed.
      you dont understand pac would chose her over you..

      and pac had passion for his people, to save them, not to save some spoiled white idiots..
