Reebok-Rick-Ross

Rick Ross finally decided it was time to speak up on the matter after recently being dropped by Reebok as an official endorser for the company.  Below is Ross’ official statement and apology regarding the matter.  I have to be honest, I’m disappointed that he didn’t include his signature grunt at the end within his text. Huuu!

“Before I am an artist, I am a father, a son, and a brother to some of the most cherished women in the world. So for me to suggest in any way that harm and violation be brought to a woman is one of my biggest mistakes and regrets. As an artist, one of the most liberating things is being able to paint pictures with my words. But with that comes a great responsibility. And most recently, my choice of words was not only offensive, it does not reflect my true heart. And for this, I apologize. To every woman that has felt the sting of abuse, I apologize. I recognize that as an artist I have a voice and with that, the power of influence. To the young men who listen to my music, please know that using a substance to rob a woman of her right to make a choice is not only a crime, it’s wrong and I do not encourage it. To my fans, I also apologize if I have disappointed you. I can only hope that this sparks a healthy dialogue and that I can contribute to it.”

NEWS: Reebok Drops Rick Ross

RossReebokReebok decided today was good as any other day to terminate their endorsement deal with MMG front man Rick Ross.  It looks like Ross’ previous pro-rape lyrics he decided to spit on Rocko’s “U.O.E.N.O.” just didn’t sit well with the head honchos over at Reebok.  Women’s group, Ultraviolet, recently set up shop outside one of Reebok’s stores in Manhattan to protest against the rapper and raise public awareness.  However, after the song’s release in January several petitions were initiated and issued by different women’s groups and rape victims.   Again, this all comes as a result of Ross’ lyrics where he raps:

“Put Molly all up in her champagne, she ain’t even know it, I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it.”

Officials for the sneaker brand stated today “Reebok holds our partners to a high demand and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand.  Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so.”

In all fairness to Ross it should be noted that he did state it was all a misunderstanding and that his verse was misinterpreted.

Posted by N/A on

Lil Wayne recently had an over-the-phone interview with Power 106’s DJ Felli Fel and opened up about his health.  What is interesting is that he finally admitted that he indeed was close to death due to the severe nature of three consecutive seizures which he states left his heart working at 30 percent.  Wayne also enlightened fans to the reality that he is no stranger to seizures and suffers them often as an epileptic.

TMZ also took the time to acknowledge Wayne’s interview and used it to further support their credibility as they are the outlet that first reported Weezy’s near death experience.

BBC recently reported that Kanye West’s upcoming new album was going to be titled I Am God.  This caused a lot of controversy online because the foundation for the information used to run with the story was vague and questionable.  As the people became more outspoken and the rumor progressed the Huffington Post decided to reach out to West’s camp to get some clarity about the matter.  Looks like the title is also a reference to Psalm 82.  Click the link to read more in detail.  

A reliable source in West’s camp tells HuffPost Entertainment that the title is actual for an upcoming single, and that the album’s name has yet to be set. The track will be called “I Am A God” (emphasis added).

NEWS: Lil Wayne Out of ICU & Baby Calls HOT 97 To Give His Side

Posted by N/A on

weezyphotoTMZ is reporting that Lil Wayne has been moved from ICU at Cedars-Sinai hospital to what sources of TMZ are describing as a “regular room”.  According to TMZ, doctors have determined that Weezy’s condition has appropriately stabilized and that his current condition no longer requires around the clock treatment after what was believed to be a codeine overdose last week.  Further, TMZ’s sources are also sharing that Wayne has been eating on his own, is up and walking around with body guards, and in the foreseeable future will be discharged from the hospital.

Looks like this is good news for Wayne as it would appear his habit has finally caught up to him or at least given him a good scare.  Let’s hope he continues to get better so that he can get back to skateboarding right?  Below is audio of Baby calling into The Angie Martinez Show to give his side of what happened to Lil Wayne’s declining health.

NEWS: Lil Wayne Currently In Critical Condition After More Seizures

Lil Wayne has been suffering seizures over the last few days and according to TMZ Weezy has suffered yet again additional seizures that have now landed the YMCMB rapper in critical condition at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.  They are also reporting that his mother is currently on a plane to the hospital should things turn for the worse and decisions need to be made.

TMZ reports, “He was taken to ICU, where he was placed in restraints because he was shaking uncontrollably.  We’re told Wayne is currently “unstable,” and has been placed in an induced coma.  He is breathing through tubes…sources say there’s evidence Wayne went on a Sizzurp binge after being released Wednesday, because doctors found high amounts of codeine in his system.  We’re told Wayne’s stomach was pumped 3 times to flush the drugs from his sytem.”

However, several YMCMB affiliates and artists have hit up twitter to clarify that different media sites reporting the matter are blowing it out of proportion and that Wayne is actually in good spirits and recovering.  I guess we’ll have to wait and see how things turn out as the story continues to develop.  Let’s hope everything turns out the best for Wayne as he apparently makes his recovery.
