R&B Singer Teena Marie dead at 54, IRS Targets Trick Daddy, The Game Robbed, Wale Beef

Wutz good folks! Hope everyone's Christmas was as good as mine. Looking forward to new year because this one has been a mess for me, personally speaking. It was also a sad Christmas for some after finding out that R&B legend Teena Marie died at the tender age of 54. If you didn't know who Teena Marie was and just listened to her voice, you would say, "Man! This sista's got soul!" Only to find out that she's not a "sista," she was actually the Motown's first white female to ever be signed to the label. Some of her hit songs were "Square Biz," "I Need Your Lovin'," and the popular "Fire and Desire" featuring Rick James. No drugs of any sort were found in her system. They believe she died of natural causes. Although someone said she had suffered a seizure recently. You will be forever missed Teena and I know they will appreciate that soulful voice of yours in heaven. She had one daughter who I believe is in her late teens to early 20s.

R.I.P. Teena!

Trick Love tha Kids, but not Taxes


Man I tell ya! These rappers and their taxes. Country, pop, Rock, and R&B music must be doing something right, because you don't hear those artists in the headlines dealing with taxes. Our latest rapper to join the "I Owe Taxes" bunch is Trick Daddy. Sources from the Detroit News says the rapper owes the IRS around $157,000 in back taxes from 2002. They even put a lien out on his wife. The IRS are worse than the hip hop police! Here's a list of other entertainers that the IRS have targeted: Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Obie Trice, Method Man, Eve, DMX, Nas, Swizz Beatz, Doug E. Fresh, Mos Def, Beanie Sigel, Wyclef, Hammer, Lil Kim, Big Boi, Fat Joe, D12, Young Buck.

G-Dep What Happened?


I'm not even gonna call this stupidity. I'm just gonna call it as God's calling and God's will. Former Bad Boy artist G-Dep recently turned himself into police and admitted that he shot and robbed a 32-year-old man. However, there was only one problem to this. G-Dep claims he didn't realize that the guy he shot had died. Well dig this, the victims brother is calling G-Dep an idiot for turning himself in. According to G-Dep's lawyer, the confession comes from a 12-step anti-drug program. Wonder what other excuse he's gonna have. Damn shame. Believe what you wanna believe. Here's a video of one of his close friends explaining why Dep snitched on himself. Click on the link below:

The Game Robbed on Christmas Eve



After a nice day of shopping at the Westfield Topanga Mall in Canoga Park, Ca., the game returned to his car to find that $75,000 worth of jewelry and other items had been stolen. Game went on a twitter rant, accusing the valet people at the mall conducting some sort of stealing scheme. He also dissed the cops about him being patted down and questioned after explaining to him that he was the victim of a crime. Well, I guess it's no more leaving jewelry in the car for you Game. 

Gotti Says, "Don't Believe Everything You Read"



Lil' Wayne has a lot of people wondering who will be the next artist added to his Young Money roster. Several artists have been brought to the attention, but Yo Gotti took most of the spotlight. He was the most popular artist to be rumored of making that move. However, you can't exhale all of that out because I don't think that's happening. Not saying that Gotti isn't cool with YMCMB, but a few years back, he already said that he just had a distribution deal with Cash Money Records. Not sure if this is still true now, but it was then. And I really don't see anybody like him signing to a major label after enjoying a nice independent label that Gotti has got going for himself for years. Hustlers like him and Lil' Boosie usually don't make moves like this. I'm still sticking with Chris Brown as the new Young Money artist!

X's Wife Takes Up for his latest Run-In with the Po Po's



So we all know that DMX has headed back to the slammer in Arizona and is sporting those famous pink prison clothes they must wear. But his wife (not sure what to call her status anymore) claims that X was set up. Here's a quote she recently said about the incident:

"He only had three weeks left [of probation], and they set him up. Because he was in a rehab that they put him in because he was driving dirty, and they gave him permission to go do a show. How do you give someone that's supposed to be in a rehab permission to do a show? It was a set-up, and then X, I can't even believe that he even took a drink knowing the situation."
Whatever! I believe she has some issues too. Still waitin' on that book that she is supposedly dropping.

R.I.P. to Carmelo Anthony's Sister


I told ya this year has been a tough year with losses. Melo's sister Michelle, recently died of a pre-existing medical condition she had. Prayers are with Melo and his family.

LATEST BEEF STEW COOKIN': Wale vs. Bossman


Wale is very pissed that he can't go home and do a concert without his hometown dissin' him. Apparently, Bossman is some local rapper out of the Baltimore area who has some issues with Wale and possibly Gucci. I'm not for sure how this all started. But I do know that Wale called in some radio station and was pissed for them fueling the situation. However, Bossman is still standing by his word of not really liking Wale.
