STOP CALLING US LOCAL RAPPERS—REMINISCE CRIES OUT

Speaking with HipHop World Magazine in an exclusive interview, ‘Reminisce’ has urged fans to drop the appellation stuck on anyone who raps in native language as ‘indigenous rappers.’

According to him, such does not speak well on them because he said there is nothing called indigenous rap. Indigenous rap continues to come to the fore over the years as the Nigerian music industry is witnessing an acceptance of artistes who put out songs in their native languages. These rappers often deliver their punchlines to the delight of their fans.

“Stop calling us indigenous rappers, there is nothing like that. A rapper is a rapper, calling myself, Phyno, Olamide, Seriki, BaseOne, Lil Kesh and couple of others coming up local rapper is a way of suppressing or make us feel inferior because Sarkodie is a rapper and no one refers to him as indigenous rapper. If you cannot call him a local rapper, then don’t call any of us local or
indigenous rapper,” he said.

He further spoke on the endorsement deals coming to him.

“Over the years, we've been able to overturn the rap game, we've been able to change perception as regards if you cannot rap in English, you cannot be a rap god or king and it’s been a collective effort.

"Things have really changed. People can now know who the real hip-hop guys are unlike before when if you can rap in English, you won’t get endorsement. And we feel very proud to be the rave of the moment,” he also said.

August Alsina Gets Into Fight Backstage At Anti-Violence Concert

August Alsina gets into a fight during a show in St. Louis over the weekend.

We've seen August Alsina lash out when he thinks necessary in the past, and this past weekend while performing in St. Louis, August
got into a bit of a scuffle backstage with the show promoters.

Unfortunately, the fight went down at an event that was promoting non-violence-- proceeds from the show went towards the 'Put down the
Pistol' program. The show was called 'State Of Emergency 2' and went down at the Chaifetz Arena on Saturday night.

A fight broke out between the show's
promoter Loose Cannon Slim and Alsina, reportedly because Slim was upset that Alsina showed up late. What started off as an exchange
of words soon became an exchange of fists. Fabolous was also in  attendance, but he stayed clear of fighting.

Air force corporal slaps CSP thrice at Lagos airport

There was confusion at the Murtala
Muhammad International Airport,
Lagos State, on Monday after a yet-to- be identified air force lance corporal assaulted a senior policewoman.

The lance corporal, who did not wear a name tag, was said to be working in the office of the Airport Commandant, Group Captain Victor Ajiboye. Punch Metro gathered that the corporal slapped the woman, a Chief Superintendent of Police, identified as Felicia Victor, three times for resisting attempts to tow a patrol vehicle.

Our correspondent learnt that a
sergeant, who drove the patrol vehicle, was also punched in the mouth by the officer.

A senior air force official, identified as Pilot Abdullahi, who witnessed the incident, was said to have intervened by disarming the officer and ordering his detention. A witness, who craved anonymity, explained that the police officers were on their way to a meeting with the Commissioner of Police, Airport Command, when the incident happened.

He said,

“The incident happened about
9.45am when the cops were going
for a meeting with the CP. They
reached a checkpoint and the air-
force man challenged them that he
had asked them to stop, but they
didn’t stop on time.

“The sergeant driving came down
and explained that he didn’t know
he flagged him down. But the lance
corporal said he would puncture
the tyres.

“As he made to puncture one of the
tyres, the CSP blocked him, and he
slapped her. He went to the other
side of the bus, and she followed
him there, and he slapped her
again.

“The sergeant, who drove the
vehicle, challenged him and he
punched him. The CSP asked the
air-force man if he was drunk, and
that upset him to slap her for the
third time.”

The eyewitness said a superior air force officer who came around a nd saw when the corporal slapped the CSP for the third time, disarmed him and ordered his detention. When our correspondent visited the police station at Bissam, where the CSP worked, he saw her with her cheeks swollen.

Some other policemen were sighted by PUNCH Metrocondoling with her over the incident.

''I can't be with someone morethan 6 months ''-Fast & Furious Actress Michelle Rodriguez

In a recent interview, Fast & Furious actress, Michelle Rodriguez, who has dated women and menn including co-star Vin Diesel, actor Zac Efron and topmodel, Cara Delevingne, said she can't be with anyone for more than six months.

Here's what she said;

"Look at me! I have absolutely nothing consistent in my life. But that's where serendipity comes in and I love that. One day I'm going to have to sacrifice that to bring life into the world. But the more I can hold off on that, the happier I'll be. It's scary for me. I'm a lone wolf…the thought of being in a long-lasting relationship? Psh, I couldn't last more than six months with somebody, let alone have a father figure around for a kid…

About having kids, she said;

"Having kids — don't leave that sh*t to me. I'll get a surrogate. I do what I want, when I want, how I want, and because of that, it has taken me so long to grow into an adult human being. I wouldn't want to sacrifice the last years that I have of being youthful in this business to have kids…It's been 15 years since I was the lead in my own feature, in Girlfight. So I haven't done what I came here to do…I don't want to sell myself short by having a kid and then regret not doing what I set out to do."

Funkmaster Flex Blasts Jay Z In Yet Another Rant

Funkmaster Flex decided to go at Jay Z once again on HOT 97 today.
Just when you thought you'd heard as many bomb drops as your brain could possibly process, Funkmaster Flex is back with another rant, and he's not done with Jay Z.

As we saw earlier today, Hov allegedly texted Flex , with the DJ pulling a reverse Macklemore and Instagramming the message.

Apparently Flex was none to impressed with the fact that Jay capitalized his name when he reached out, addressing this in the rant multiple times with quotables such as "you should've lower-cased it, bruh" and "don't talk to me with capital letters".

The DJ then goes on to call Hov a "a corporate commercial rapper that drops a little catch phrase every three months", and adds that the rapper should give J. Cole his props publically. "Why don't you at some point congratulate [him] on that 300,000 he shot out, and stop acting like that album don't exist."
