After he was robbed in London last week, Juelz Santana has gone on camera and accused London duo SAS of failing to help him out  when he was confronted by an irate mob.London duo SAS who have just recently returned from a spell in the US were surprised when they heard about what Juelz had said on camera. Talking to IHipHop exclusively, Mayhem said “One minute we are family and brothers from another, then the next minte he on DVD footage dissing us with the same people that came to take his head off.” The altercation came about after Juelz failed to perform at shows his former manager was paid for back in 2006 in the UK capital. The promoters appeared at the hotel where Juelz was staying at last Sunday night as he wrapped up a two week tour of Europe looking to recoup the $70,000 they had paid out to Juelz’s former manager. SAS are currently promoting their new mixtape, Eurogang Volume One which features Cam’Ron, Max , Styles P, Ransom and the whole Eurogang family.

Hmmm looks like Vibe is getting into a little more hot water this week. Last week it was Robin Thicke dissing the publication and now the Princess of Crunk Ciara is taking them to the cleaners for the so called ‘naked’ shoot she did for the recent edition. Turns out that the shots of a naked Ciara were actually photoshopped and she reportedly didn’t pose void of clothes AT ALL. Well then, this wouldnt be the first time the magazine has been in trouble for pictures, remember that whole scandal with the Mary J Blige cover back in 2006? Although photoshopping someone so they appear naked is a little extreme isn’t it?

50′s life may have just got somewhat easier when it comes to dealing with his baby Momma Shaniqua Tompkins. As of yesterday there is now an order of protection out against Curtis to keep away from the mother of his child and any dropping off and picking up of Marquise the estranged couples ten year old son has to be done at a police station. It might be a little awkward but it means that he won’t be hearing her mouth at any given opportunity. But still Tompkins is running her mouth saying that every other weekend which 50 has been granted when it comes to the visitation of his son is just too much and not what she her son wants.

Gotta shout out my man Buck for this piece of info. Looks like while sitting in a jail cell one half of Mobb Deep, namely Prodigy has time to deal with the stuff that he might normally have just turned a blind eye too. Anyhow here is his response to a recent piece on SOHH. Prodigy is obviously not impressed in what the ‘writer’ had to say. To read the original story which Prodigy posted and the analysis by SOHH check here SOHH IS TALKIN’ RECKLESS YEP, YEP…… WHAT’S GOING ON OUT THERE IN FREEDOM TOWN?  I HOPE EVERYBODY IS DOING WELL.

SOHH RECKLESS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY. RECKLESS SEEMS TO THINK THAT I SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED ABOUT A PICTURE OF ME AT 8 YEARS OLD WITH A MIKE JACKSON JACKET ON.  TO QUOTE RECKLESS I “SUFFERED AN IMMEASURABLE AMOUNT OF EMBARRASSMENT.”  RECKLESS, YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED FOR BELIEVING SHIT YOU NEVER SAW OR WILL EVER SEE.  YOU AND MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN LIED TO BY J.Z….

After all that trash he talked  when it comes to Madden 09, Bow Wow really had to bow down to Game when the Compton rapper took the $100,000 prize money (donated to a charity of his choice) in their recent face off. Did Game cheat? Did this beat watching the VMAs? Probably a positive response to both of those questions.

Curtis implied to Rolling Stone that Lil Wayne’s monster track Lollipop did in fact sound a lot like his Candy Shop track from the 2005 The Massacre which featured former G Unit songstress Olivia. Do you agree? Or is Curtis just tying to stir up a little bit of controversy.

If I could give dude a break I would, but SRC fake – Konvict Akon had YET another altercation with a fan while at a show in South Africa this past weekend. The singer who decided to surf the crowd was  being pulled at by a female fan who was a lil too pully (not a word I know but best I can come up with right now) when he smacked her into the crowd. I feel another law suit with his name on there coming up next. Seriously to head to an Akon concert now you  need to take out personal insurance when you buy a ticket.

Well can’t say I didn’t expect to hear this, but  Juelz and his crew are denying his bling getting stolen while in London to perform saying the only reason police escorted him and his entourage from the hotel in which they were staying was not for safety as previously reported but for making a noise. Damn the UK police are doing that now? Cutting rappers some slack when they make enought noise to get kicked out of a hotel. Normally you just walk past them and they arrest your ass  just ask Snoop about that. However over in Las Vegas, boxer Floyd Mayweather allegedly reported to police that  someone had robbed his house taking with them his $7 million collection of jewelry. mayweatherwho announced his retirement from boxing in June of this year had never been beaten in his professional boxing career of 39 professional fights

Juelz Santana was appearing in London this past weekend at the Jump Off alongside fellow Dipset cohorts  J R Writer, Freekey Zekey and London rap duo S.A.S. Anyhow word on the streets of London town is that Juelz got robbed of all things that glitter due to some debt his manger ran up with a crew out in the UK a while ago.Turns out dudes descened on Juelz’s hotel room and cleaned him out of his finery to compensate the $65,000 the promoters lost out on when Juelz failed to show up for a show back in 2005 but was paid in advance on. And they say payback is a bi**h, in this case more like pay up is a bi**h.

Possibly one of the best soul, R&B acts we have seen emerge in the new millennium Robin Thicke has ousted Vibe in a recent interview for not putting him on the cover because he is white. The Lost Without You singer who is a personal fave of Jimmy Iovine, Andre Harrell, Pharrell Williams and married to Paula Patton (Deja Vu and Idelwide) put the glossy on blast in a recent interview with Billboard and rightly so. Their response to Thicke asking if a cover story was a possibility was this  ‘Why can’t I get the cover? This is a magazine I love. If there’s one magazine that I’d want to be on the cover of, it’s Vibe,’ “Thicke said. “Their response was they don’t have white artists on the cover; that the only white artist they’ve had on the cover was Eminem.” Funny that as I can think of Justin Timberlake on the cover of Vibe, I remember No Doubt front lady Gwen Stefani on the front cover and going through my old collections of the YEAR…wasn’t Robert DeNiro on there too. Come on good people at Vibe you need to sort your lies out if you gonna lie, becasue remarks like that are going to be put on blast. Robin Thickes Something Else project hits shelves on September 9th.

Looks like Fat Joe is disgusted with Daddy Yankee’s endorsement of Senator John McCain. The Bronx rapper has in a recent interview with MTV denounced the Reggaeton superstar for supporting the Republican candidate in the run for the Presidency. Joe even went as far to say that he would quite happily sit down and school Daddy Yankee on the subject of politics as he believed the remarks came from him out “for a look,” or the fact that he is “not educated on politics.” Joe like many other artists and entertainment stars have all been in Denver for the Democratic Convention which saw Chicago Senator Barack Obama make his speech last night in front of 75,000 people. Obama who made his speech 45 years to the date since Martin Luther King made his ‘I have a dream speech ‘ had the crowd on their feet with his words of unity and change for his country. “America, we cannot turn back,”  Obama said. “We cannot walk alone. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to walk into the future.”

He might have been reaching out to all those rappers he has had words for over the last few years in NYC the other night as he took to the stage at the Irving Plaze, but perhaps Game needed to deal with mending bridges a little closer to home. Stemming from an altercation at a family funeral with his cousin back in July, the rapper now faces charges of criminal battery which could see him back in jail due to currently being on probation for a firearms charge brought against him. Game and his cousin got into an altercation which saw the LAX rapper punch Robert ‘Kirky’ Kirkwood in the face at the funeral of his sister. Game had allegedly offered to help the family pay for the funeral but had avoided footing the bill when it needed to be paid. Sources close to Game hope that the family members will rectify the issue and the charges will be dropped.

Suge Knight was arrested in Vegas this morning for allegedly beating up his girlfriend after she tried to escape from the vehicle they were driving in. The LAPD said when they arrived on the scene they saw Knight kicking his girlfriend of three years in the head while holding a knife.The former Death Row front man was charged with domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon and drug possession and is currently still being held at the Clark County Detention Center. It was while arriving at the DC that Knight was found to be carrying ecstasy.
