Nicki Minaj May Just Invite PETA’s Ire in London

Posted on October 31, 2012 by Rick Slick

Woe betide the celeb who gets caught at the wrong end of PETA’s stick; if they catch you wearing fur you can be sure that fur will fly. So far, Nicki Minaj has eluded the group’s ire. She was spotted wearing leopard print boots, a fur coat and purple pants while entering the Corinthia Hotel where she has been staying.

Last month it was Rihanna, and if memory serves me right that too was in London. At that point in time, a PETA spokesperson had said ”Rihanna may not have a clue that snakes killed for boots are often nailed to a tree and skinned alive. Of course, they can’t go on Oprah to cry about it.”

Soulja Boy Snaps At Bow Wow on Twitter

Posted on October 31, 2012 by Rick Slick

The Soulja Boy and Bow Wow feud has a history to it and twitter has been the battleground in the past for these two. Soulja has reignited the beef by taking potshots at the 106 & Park host Bow Wow by saying that “Keep it trill. Bow wow can’t f*** wit me no more.” He tweeted “I’ll be on 106 next week dropping off my new music video,” “We gonna see whats good wit it. Bang bang.”

Bow Wow refused to be drawn into this new war of words and simply wished Soulja good luck for his new video.

What’s your take, dear reader on this whole thing? Is it cooked up, is it real? Is Soulja the real deal or is he just a wannabe copying styles with no swag of his own?

The Game on Why He’s Not Materialistic

Posted on October 30, 2012 by Rick Slick

Every now and then, we get some tidbits of information that give us perspective and something that elevates the status of hiphop. This discussion that Game had with the folks at SOHH…is this one such discussion? You read and tell us.

The rapper reveals why even though he has a lavish lifestyle he is not really the materialistic kind. He said “I’m the type of n*gga if you give me a one-bedroom apartment–matter fact, two bedrooms, at least a room for my kids. Give me a two-bedroom apartment and some f*cking Internet and maybe one couch and I’m straight,” “F*ck this mansion. F*ck these cars. I would jump back in a Cutlass tomorrow, man. I don’t care about this materialistic sh*t. You can’t fit none of this in a casket.”

The only problem is that this guy doing this talking is actually known to really spend and spend hard on “materialistic” stuff; such as $200K on a black leather-wrapped Ferrari.

Now, am not being judgmental but maybe, just maybe there needs to be a little more connect between what we say and what we do. Okay, chuck what I say, read the interview by following the link.

As Expected…Lil Wayne Doesn’t Show Up for “Carter” Hearing, Judge Not Amused

Posted on October 30, 2012 by Rick Slick

That Lil Wayne would not be available or not be able to make it to his scheduled court appearance on October 29th was a foregone conclusion and that’s how it turned out. The rapper is not taking any chances after suffering seizure-like symptoms and that too in air, miles away from terra firma.

He’s currently recuperating at his mama’s place in Louisiana. After his lawyers updated the judge on his inability to testify, the judge was shown his video-taped deposition which he found to be an example of “unreasonable conduct in the deposition” and “irresponsible behavior.”

The tapes have been doing the rounds of the net, Lil Wayne sure knows his way around law and shows the chutzpah to take on savvy lawyers. I guess if you’re a rich brotha then you need to have these skills.
