Some Lucky Teen Got Nicki Minaj To Perform At His Bar Mitzvah

Nicki Minaj is at a point where no appearance comes cheap, so we can assume her recent performance at a kid's Bar Mitzvah in New York must have been fuelled by an offer she couldn't refuse.

Matt, who technically should be 13 years old, but is already suspiciously taller than Nicki, was treated to a performance as well as some Instagram promotion on his big day. 

Of course, some footage from the event has made its way online, including a video in which Nicki attempts to guess his age, to which he replies with Drake-level innuendo -- "old enough".

Young Thug Heckled & Booed At Show In Louisiana

Young Thug had a rough time performing in Lil Wayne's home state.

Lil Wayne and Young Thug had didn't do too well performing on each other's home turf last night. While Wayne's bus was hit with gunfire in Atlanta, Thugger was consistently heckled throughout a performance in Baton Rouge Louisiana. Nothing about the Wayne incident indicates it had anything to do with the minor rivalry between the two rappers, but Thug's hecklers were definitely motivated by Wayne's frustration.

New footage shows audience members yelling "Weezy," "Holly Grove," and various insults at the rapper, though the fact that the clip is actually captured by a heckler may make it seem more extreme than it was. Apparently, Thug remained based about the situation, and responded to the negativity with "I still love you."

Diddy & Mark Wahlberg Put $250k On Mayweather-Pacquiao Fight

Diddy and Mark Wahlberg are putting some serious money on the upcoming Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.

Diddy has been among the highest earners in hip-hop for years, but you don't get to that spot without taking a few risks. With the sure- to-be legendary Mayweather-Pacquiao fight fast approaching, we were expecting some rappers to put some money down on the match-up, but it'll be tough to top Puff's wager.

In a new Instagram video, Diddy and
AquaHydrate business partner, Mark Wahlberg have decided to bet $250,000 on the fight, with Combs siding with the Money Team (Mayweather), and the Oscar-nominated actor sticking with Pac-man (Pacquiao).

Naturally, they end the clip with a toast of their luxury water, and seeing that the money could technically go right back into the business, this was definitely another smart business choice from Puff.

50 Cent Explains His Sudden Reunion With Floyd Mayweather

50 Cent shares some insight on why he and Floyd Mayweather squashed their beef.

50 Cent's beef can escalate pretty quickly, but they usually deflate in a similar fashion. We've seen 50 trash the members of G-Unit and reunite the group in the same year, and now, after mocking incessantly mocking FLoyd Mayweather on Instagram over the last little while, he's decided to mend their relationship.

The first announcement that the beef was squashed was once again, a post on 50's Instagram, but in a new interview with MTV, 50 explained his turbulent relationship with the boxer.

"My younger brother happens to be the best fighter in the world. He can make $200 million in 36 minutes," said 50, suggesting that having that much money and power can cloud your judgement. "How do you tell him what to do? You don’t." "Sometimes he's not right," said the rapper, revealing that while he and Floyd tend to butt heads, things usually wind down eventually.

"You'll tell him, 'you're not right'. And then you have that argument until he starts to look at it and say, 'he was right'."

According to him, nothing can be
compared to hardwork. ‘I work very hard, we (he and Shizzi) didn’t start perfect like this in the beginning but we kept on recording and the more you record the better you get.

Chris Brown Settles Lawsuit Over Basketball Fight

Chris Brown pays little money to alleged victim of last year's basketball brawl.

Chris Brown can now move on from the "brawl" lawsuit that went down last year at a basketball pick-up game. Chris and his lawyer, Mark Geragos, managed to settle with the alleged victim, for a rather small amount according to TMZ.

Malcolm Ausbon filed the lawsuit, claiming Chris and 3 members of his entourage gave him a beat down in the middle of a hoops game they were playing at a 24-Hour Fitness last year in L.A. Malcolm then went on to threaten that if Chris didn’t cough up $250k, he would then be talking with the cops.

In the end, TMZ reports that Ausbon did get paid, but way, way less than his asking price. Sources connected to Chris describe it as a "nuisance payment", that was no more than 4 figures. No exact figure was revealed however. This comes a month after Chris’ Rihanna assault case was closed and his probation ended as well. Look like some of Chris' legal woes are finally coming to an end.
