Kanye West Changes His Album Title

Kanye West's upcoming album will no longer be called "So Help Me God."

At the beginning of March, Kanye tweeted a picture that l ooked like album artwork with the caption "So Help Me God." Since, we've taken those words to be the title of Kanye's upcoming seventh studio album, but, today, on Twitter (again), Kanye has given us a new title... for now. 'Ye tweeted that he's changing his album title to SWISH , though, a minute later, he clarified: "I might change it again." But, for now, SWISH it is.

For those keeping track, "SWISH" was also thebcaption Yeezy repeatedly used when he tweeted out nude pics of Kim from an upcoming photo shoot.

Jay Z, Drake & Eminem Are Among Billboard's "Money-Makers" Of 2014

Jay Z, Eminem, and Drake represent hip-hop in Billboard's "Money-Makers" of 2014.

Yesterday, Billboard released its annual "Money-Makers" list, which rounds up last year's top earners in the music world. In 2014, hip-hop only had three moguls who managed to crack the top 25: Jay Z, Eminem, and Drake.

Jay Z's $22 million got him to #9 on the list, cracking the top 10 for the first time. Surprisingly, almost 90 percent ($19.1 million) of Hov's income came from touring alone. The rapper also made almost 500k in streaming royalties, most of which came before the official launch of TIDAL.

Next on the list is Eminem, who came in at #20 with $11.9 million. Em beat out all artists in streaming royalties, which still only earned him $1.1 million. One spot behind Shady is Drake, with $10.6 million clocked in '14. His "Would You Like a Tour?" and his "Drake Vs. Lil Wayne" tour earned him a combined $7.7 million.

That's it for hip-hop, but for some perspective, One Direction topped the list with a staggering $46 million.

CYNTHIA MORGAN GOES TOPLESS FOR PHOTO WITH NEW ARTISTE

It is no longer News that Cynthia Morgan is well known for her daring
Controversial nature.

The first lady of Jude Okoye’s Northside Music Inc. has released another photo where she dared to go topless and caught in a very suggestive position with an upcoming act.

Although the picture looks like a photo shoot for an upcoming musical collaboration but her fans who are still enjoying her latest single, 'German Juice' are of the opinion that the pose means more than meet the eyes.

Floyd Mayweather Wins Against Manny Pacquiao In Epic Fight

It was a grueling fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather  but a winner has been named! The boxers dueled at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 2, in a buzzed-about, highly-anticipated match that’s
been years in the making, with Floyd taking home all of the glory in a points decision after 12 tough rounds.

The first 5 rounds of the fight were a close call –with Manny rocking Floyd in the fourth round with a vicious hook that dazed the champ and forced him into defense on the ropes.

However, despite Manny’s attacking stance and Floyd’s clever defensive work it was ‘Money Mayweather’ who landed more clean punches. And at the end it was left to the judges’ decision who decided unanimously that Floyd was the
deserved winner.

Tyga Reportedly Owes Ex-Landlord Over $120K

Tyga reportedly owes over $120k on a house that he rented in 2010.

A month ago, a man handed Tyga a summons after posing as a fan at Tyga's LA Gear sneaker launch party in Hollywood. TMZ caught the incredibly awkward footage of Tyga getting served (see below), but, originally, we didn't know why the rapper was wanted in court.

Now, an ex-landlord is claiming Tyga owes him six figures--and counting. According to the landlord, Tyga rented a house in Calabasas back in 2010, on which Tyga still owes $90,000. Since last month, Tyga has reportedly missed the court date on his serving papers,
which will cost him another $1,090.

The rapper wrote a check of said amount to his ex-landlord, but, allegedly, the check ended up bouncing. Of course, the landlord is still after his money, which, now--the full judgment plus interest--
totals to over $124,000. He's threatening an arrest warrant if Tyga refuses to pay this time.

No word on the situation from Tyga's camp, though, money doesn't seem to be in too short supply for the L.A. rapper--he recently posted a (since deleted) Instagram of him sitting next to stacks of $100 bills.

Young Thug's Barter 6 Producer Wheezy Wants To Work With Lil Wayne

One of the biggest surprises of Young Thug's Barter 6 was the appearance of a new producer: Wheezy, who produced twice as many tracks on the album (eight) as Thugga's longtime producer London on da Track.

Yes, it's almost too ridiculous that a guy named Wheezy produced most of a project whose name, at least to some degree, mocks Lil Wayne.

Aside from the controversy, though,
Wheezy brought a unique sound to Barter 6--slow, playful, and very drugged-out, as you can hear on " Constantly Hating"--that's gonna
keep his name in the mix for a long time. Other than his name, which he's had from the beginning, recently adding the "h," Wheezy seems innocent of all drama between Thugga and the other Weezy.

In fact, in an interview with Complex , the Atlanta producer voiced his wishes to work with Lil Wayne:


"My take on the situation is that Thug and Wayne are in two different lanes: Thug is a rising star and Lil Wayne is an icon. Both should make more music [together], and I would like to work with Wayne in the near future. Nothing but up from here, you dig?"

We won't speak on the likelihood of any Weezy/Wheezy collabs--in the near future at least--but we can look forward to more Wheezy on Hy!£UN35 (read: Hi-Tunes ), much of which has already been recorded. Wheezy says Hi-Tunes is " Barter 6 times 10 and overdosing on drugs." Uh-oh.
