Rapper Nelly Apologizes For Felony Drug Arrest

Nelly offers statement on recent drug arrest.

Last week, Nelly's bus was pulled over near Chattanooga, TN for failing to display necessary stickers. The cops smelled weed, searched the bus, found the weed--as well as some more contraband--namely, several guns, and a plastic bag full of rocks that would test positive for meth.

Nelly was taken to the county jail and released shortly thereafter, though the St. Louis rapper is now faced with a felony charge. Today, Nelly spoke on the charges for the first time, and issued an apology--well, sort of--he mostly
eschews all blame entirely.

He and his legal team claim that between 15 and 20 people were granted entry to the bus earlier that night before the bust. The drugs, and everything else, must have been brought on by any one of those shady characters. Nelly was just trying to be a good guy--"my instinct of course, is to be accessible to my friends, fans and acquaintances", but he ultimately
admits, "I feel the need to take responsibility for my choices in needing to be more aware of
all the people I associate with and allow onto my property."

By the way, his lawyer claims the drugs were molly, not meth.

Young Thug Changes Title Of "Tha Carter 6"

After exchanging some choice words with his idol Lil Wayne these past couple weeks, it looks like Young Thug is now backing down from naming his new mixtape Tha Carter 6 .

Taking to his Instagram Monday night, Thugger announced that he’s changing the title from Tha Carter VI to Tha Barter VI (a blood reference) because someone is suing him over the original title. He didn’t reveal who’s suing him, but the first thing that comes to mind is either Weezy or Young Money, so who really knows.

“Can’t name the mixtape Carter VI, cause these fuck ass niggas trying to sue…just like some hoes,”-Thugger

The project is led by the single “Check” and is expected to be dropping later this week on the 17th. Don’t be surprised if the project sees a setback though due to this new name change.

Why I was absent at AY’s show– Basketmouth

Basketmouth has responded to criticisms surrounding his absence at the latest edition of AY Live, noting that he couldn’t have been a part of the show since he was not scheduled to perform.

The comedian said: ‘I was not booked to appear at AY’s show. My name was not publicized as one of those expected at the show. It is not about comedians being united; AY did his show and never mentioned that Basketmouth would perform, so why would people expect me to be there? It doesn’t make sense.’

Summing it all up that it is a ridiculous idea for people to expect him to show up even if he wasn’t billed for the show, Basketmouth said:

‘The way we think in this country is very funny. You go to the market to buy a Mercedes and hope to get a Rolls Royce engine, it is not possible.’

We hope there is no love lost between the stars.

The morning after Kanye took Armenia by storm by leaping into the the city's historic Swan Lake during a surprise concert, he and Kim jetted off to Jerusalem to baptize 22-month-old baby North.

Though we don't get a peek inside the Saint James Cathedral, the Armenian church where North was baptized, the scene outside is about the least holy thing imaginable--with mobs of paparazzi surrounding the West family as they try to get in and out of the church without North bursting into tears.

Seems like there might be trouble in paradise as Paul Okoye of the Psquare group took to his Instagram page this morning to share the story behind some of their hit songs just few minutes after Peter revealed he was building an empire.

The other half, Paul revealed he single- handedly produced and wrote some of the their hit bangers like ‘Bring It On‘ featuring Dave Scot as well as ‘Forever,’ ‘Personally,’ ‘No One Like You,’ ‘E No Easy,’ and ‘Do Me’. He went on to hashtag each post with ‘#MyBest40SongsOfP2′.

Police Shut Down Kanye West's Surprise Concert In Armenia

Kanye West's surprise show in Armenia got out of hand after he jumped into Swan Lake, and an adoring crowd quickly followed.

Kanye West capped off his and Kim's Armenian vacation in true Kanye fashion by performing a
surprise concert in the capital city of Yerevan.

Kim announced the show mid-afternoon on Twitter, and by the evening, the whole city surrounded Swan Lake, in center city, where
Kanye was set to perform. 

Yeezy opened the show with "Stronger", and went on to perform hits like "Jesus Walks", "Power", "Touch the Sky", and "All of the Lights". Then, suddenly, during "Good Life" (though inspired by "Jesus Walks"), Kanye took a leap of faith and plunged into Swan Lake.

After the jump, the crowd quickly followed Air Yeezy into the lake, prompting police to call off the rest of the performance. 

Though the Armenian crowd didn't get a full set, they were certainly treated to a rare moment in Kanye history. The Wests leaves Armenia for Israel today.

Young Thug Disses Lil Wayne In "Carter6" Promo video

On Friday, Young Thug pursued a policy of de- escalation after a Lil Wayne threw shade his way."[Wayne] is my idol. I wouldn't ever in my life swap words with him or beef with him about nothing," he said on Instagram.

Early this afternoon Thugger posted an Instagram video that walked back these kind words for Weezy. A woman narrates a succession of clips from Young Thug performances: "Big killa, young nigga, young fucking money…fuck you I kill you," she says.Her voice then fades and "Barter 6" in red font comes into focus. It is possible that this is an ill-advised name change from Carter 6 but more likely a "Bickin' Back Being Bool"-type situation.

All in all, the vid is simultaneously a passive-aggressive slight at Lil Wayne and a bold publicity stunt for Carter 6, which drops on April 17th.

Nicki Minaj Advices Young Girls: "You Too Can Become A Mogul"

Nicki Minaj recently sat down with Glamour for a segment called "Dos and Don'ts of Bossing Up," in which she shares some of her hard-fought wisdom; much of the advice she dispenses draws on her experiences as a woman in an industry dominated by males. Seeing as most industries are dominated by males, her advice applies pretty universally.

Check out some excerpts below:

DO have a clear vision for what you want to do.
"I wanted to take my time with [my new album] and show people I was capable of making something people could really relate to. Jay Z has always been a role model because he inspires people [to believe] they can go from selling drugs to being one of the most celebrated businessmen of our time. That's what I want to do for young girls, to say, 'It doesn't matter where you started in your life. You too can become a mogul and anything you want to be.'"

DO ignore labels.
"I used to be so, so hurt by the way women are labeled as bitches—it would just make me angry. I would work around powerful men all day, every day, and their attitudes were horrible, but a man just gets a pass. He gets The Man Pass! The Donald Trumps and Kanye Wests and Lil Waynes can have a bad day, they can be cocky and disrespectful and arrogant, and at the end of the day we laugh at it. With a woman it's always like, 'Excuse me, how dare you?' But I've always been a 'Where there's a will, there's a way' kind of person. I know I'm as great as the great men in hip-hop, in terms of being an MC. And I think, secretly, they all know! Your overall confidence has to come from within."

DO the work your way.
"We don't have a lot of women who have a huge voice in hip-hop, so the odds that a man in hip-hop will sit down and listen to The Pinkprint in its entirety are not in my favor. You just have to do your work, and someday, hopefully, you will get the credit you deserve. And if I don't, I have a lot of inner peace with my own work, because I know that I pushed myself and this album came out just the way I wanted it to."
