TMZ catches up with rapper Ransom and gets his side of the story on the current scandal he finds himself in with Nicki Minaj. After dropping some eyebrow raising bars, Ransom addresses his lyrics and says fans misinterpreted him. Ransom goes on to clarify exactly what he meant and tells TMZ he believes the situation was instigated by paparazzi. The New Jersey native admits he doesn’t hate Nicki but believes she clearly overreacted and doesn’t care for an apology Guess we’ll all have to wait and see how this one turns out.
TMZ cameras caught up with Nicki Minaj last night and got her all riled up after inquiring on rapper Ransom’s recent line in his song “Man Alone” where he suggests he did some ghost writing work for Minaj in the past. “Before Nicki was wearing those crazy wigs/I was doing verses for her/just hoping she made it big,” said rapper Ransom.
After being questioned, Nicki proceeded to rant about how she’s never needed or used any ghost writer in her career. Minaj also goes on to diss Ransom and makes it clear how she feels about him and his career.
DMX found himself in trouble with the law yet again after being pulled over a few days ago and subsequently arrested and charged for DUI in South Carolina. As the rap star’s fall from grace continues, TMZ has acquired and released footage from the dash camera of the arresting trooper’s car which shows DMX looking pretty bad and passing out in the passenger seat. After being pulled over, X can be heard admitting to the officer that his license is suspended and quickly is put through several sobriety tests which apparently he failed. Driving a 1978 Plymouth Volare, DMX exits the vehicle and quickly sparks up a cigarette almost as if to maintain his composure and get his bearings before having to endure the police procedures he’s sadly become all to familiar with.
TMZ recently released footage of Kanye West running into paparazzi outside of LAX and becoming instantly upset after one tries to spark up a conversation. Yeezy can be seen in the clip exiting his vehicle and immediately is approached by the paparazzo who begins asking him questions and informs Ye that he’s a big fan. West doesn’t even entertain his comments and proceeds to instruct the cameraman to never talk or ask him questions again but also tells him to send the word out. Within his hand blocking the camera lens, Yeezy walks away but not before being pursued once again by the TMZ paparazzo. Check out what happened next and what Yeezy had to say after he was asked about Watch The Throne 2.
In this day and age it would seem that almost anything that happens out in public isn’t too far out of reach from a camera and under some sort of surveillance. Unfortunately, for rapper 2 Chainz his recent run in with an armed gunman over the weekend in San Francisco was captured on video and obtained by the all seeing eye of TMZ. In the footage above, Tity Boi can be seen walking down Howard Street with his entourage when a gunman approaches the group and heads directly for the G.O.O.D. Music rapper with the intent to rob him.
Feeling froggy, 2 Chainz jumps into action and dashes off behind a number of his friends/security in an attempt to out run his would-be attacker and keep his valuables. Appearing not exactly sure where to go and only a few feet away from the suspect, the rapper hesitates running into traffic, jumps back onto the sidewalk where a wall is there to greet him, and subsequently loses his balance and trips straight onto the ground. At gunpoint, the armed suspect proceeds to rob 2 Chainz and apparently took his phone and wallet. Initially following reports of the robbery, 2 Chainz denied the incident ever occurred and since the release of the footage neither Def Jam or 2 Chainz has commented on the matter.
Kanye West was recently out and about in Beverly Hills when a group of Paparazzi attempted to capture him and girlfriend Kim Kardashian ducking into a restaurant. The only problem is instead of ducking and avoiding snaps from the paprazzi, Mr. West bowed right into a metal stop sign and immediately became enraged. As shown in the clip above, West runs into pole and eventually makes his way back out from the restaurant to confront some pap’s who were still outside. You can clearly hear Kanye shouting for some privacy and demanding the paparazzi stop taking photos.
TMZ is reporting that 38-year-old DJ Clue who is widely popular in New York was arrested this morning after police caught the Desert Storm DJ in possession of illegal pills. Some of the details being speculated by TMZ are that Clue was pulled over because of a routine traffic violation and subsequently it was discovered his license was suspended.

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.
Too Short recently called into DJ Whoo Kid’s show on Shade 45 to give his side on exactly what happened last week to him after being pulled over right across the street from his home. The incident was initially reported as being a DUI but it looks like Short may have already beat the harder charges and might just get a slap on the wrist.
“My lawyer said its a good thing you didn’t get away…”
So last night I was in the mix over at the West Coast Fest show at Club Nokia covering the event with Skee TV and I guess at some point backstage Ray J (who was with Tierra Marie) and rapper Bad Azz got into a fight. I met the lady who initially in the footage is arguing with the Ray J and she stated she manages or is affiliated with rapper Stalley from MMG. However, from what I understand the beef between Ray J and Bad Azz goes back further from when Bad Azz had to let Ray J know he wasn’t allowed on Snoop Dogg’s bus because at that time Snoop was distancing himself from known associates of Suge Knight. There was also a situation in the past that sparked bad blood when Ray J supposedly had a heated argument with Suge’s niece from what I understand.
Take a listen to Bad Azz’s side of the story as he called Power 105’s Breakfast Club to clarify details.
