Daily Scoop 11.30.10 TAMEKA FOSTER GLOVER RAYMOND GETS PISSED AT KANDI'S USHER CRUSH

Tameka Foster Glover Raymond Gets Pissed at Kandi’s Usher “Crush”…

Anyway, here’s the deal… Kandi admitted on air that she had a crush on Usher Raymond and that she’d heard he was good in bed. Kandi’s “confession” apparently got Usher’s ex feeling some kinda way. Tameka Foster Glover Raymond caught word of Kandi’s “crush” and promptly picked up her Blackberry to let the twitter world know she’s not over her ex by throwing shade at Kandi, implying that Ms. Burruss had already dated everyone in town.
Of course Tameka deleted her tweets after Kandi directly called her out on her “bullshit,” but as you know, deleting things don’t work ‘roun me…Here’s the question that started it all: Kandi said she would have sex w/Usher cuz she heard he’s good in bed.

Daily Scoop Friday 11.26.10 Lil Kim Fires Back At Nicki Minaj In New Diss Song

(AllHipHop News) Lil Kim has been quiet as Nicki Minaj has had disparaging remarks to her rival, but now Kim has returned fire with a new diss song called “Black Friday.”

The song, which has leaked online, has Lil Kim lyrically challenging the now-dominant
Nicki Minaj.

On the song, Kim spews, “I’m turning Pink Friday to Friday The 13th.”

“Aight, you
Lil Kim clone clown / all this buffoonery s**t stops now / Time for you to lay down / I’m sick of the fraud / I’ll put hands on this b**ch like Obama’s guards,” Kim says. “We all know your last name / what got you your job / You a put together gimmick / something like a collage.”

In the song, she also mentions
Nicki Minaj’s Young Money ally Drake. “This his hood sh**t you and Drake ain’t built for. This sh**t the other b**ch almost got killed for…”

The song continuously refers to Nicki Minaj as a copycat artist that has stolen her style, which debuted in the 1990’s.

Nicki Minja has always mentioned Lil Kim has one of the rapper’s she admired, but recently told Angie Martinez that Kim’s present stance mars her legacy.

"I feel like you're gonna go down in history now as a sore loser, as opposed to going down in history as the queen because if you can't beat 'em, join 'em," Nicki told Martinez. "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. You don't have to feel the need to put somebody down and make yourself feel better."

The song was debuted on Hot 97 with DJ Absolut and the full song is expected to drop tomorrow, Black Friday. Minaj's Pink Friday was released on  Monday and is expected to sell about 375k - 425k in the first week.

WHO IS WILLOW SMITHS FAVORITE RAPPER?

AllHipHop News) Funkmaster Flex may not be the biggest fan of Tupac Shakur, but the 10-year-old Willow Smith is a fan of the deceased rapper.

Willow Smith became a fan of Tupac through her mother, Jada Pinkett-Smith, who was best friends with the rapper since they met in Baltimore, where Tupac attended theater classes early in his career.

During an interview with Nnette on Madd Hatta's morning show, on 97.9 The Box in Houston, Willow Smith detailed her love for Tupac, as well as other musicians.

“He was my mom’s his best friend," said Willow, who added that she was fan of Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Billy Idol, B.O.B. and Eminem, although she labeled Tupac as her favorite.

Willow also described meeting Roc Nation CEO Jay-Z for the first time.

“It was really fun," Willow said. "He was really welcoming, and he was funny, supporting and I just felt welcomed.”

Kanye surprises audience with 10 minute speech at concert!

 Kanye West lets her rip... 

Last night, up and coming singer Teyana Taylor and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver joined Kanye West on stage for a unique rendition of “Dark Fantasy” during the opening number of Kanye’s intimate show at the Bowery. The 550 person venue was filled to capacity with the likes of industry movers and shakers such as Diddy, Spike Lee, Quest Love, Selita Ebanks, Lyor Cohen and more.
A Kanye show isn’t quite complete without a few guest appearances, and there was plenty throughout the night. Teyana Taylor filled in for Rihanna on “All of The lights”, followed by Nicki Minaj who joined Kanye on stage for “Monster”. Swizz Beatz, Pusha T, and Cy Hi Da Prynce appeared for Kanye’s performance of “So Appalled” and Rick Ross (BAWSE!) made a surprise cameo for “Devil In A Red Dress”. John Legend was also on hand for “Blame Game”
As the show came to an end, Kanye West went into a ten minute speech addressing Taylor Swift (and how she never came to his defense), George Bush, his album sales and more. To do an album after the year I had ….after all the “Your career is over..die n*gga, die!…You’ll never make music again!” and then come back and do 100,000 the first day digitally alone….to be safe and do 600,000 in the first week. I don’t talk about the numbers but what that number says is that people want me to keep making music…and for me not to give up. No radio singles, no #1 record, no top 10 record!
“….I can’t be your role model, i can’t be your anti-christ. I don’t know what the f*ck illuminati is. I like clothes and I still like girls, I dont give a f*ck what you think and on that note. I love ya’ll.”

I can barely keep up with this melodrama that is Fantasia Barrino and her affair with a married man….
Yesterday afternoon, Fantasia had to take the stand during Antwaun Cook’s divorce proceedings in North Carolina and according to RadarOnline.com, she confessed that she was pregnant by Antwaun during the time of her suicide attempt. It was revealed that she eventually aborted the baby. She also confessed that her relationship with Antwuan was “off and on” for about 11 months, however, she believed he was separated from his wife during that time. Meanwhile, his wife’s lawyer, argued that Fantasia and Antwaun checked into a hotel together a few days after meeting each other because she knew she couldn’t go back to his home because of his wife.
Fantasia is currently being sued

BEYONCES UNLEASHES ON THANKSGIVING


Was on the view this morning
Beyonce and her mama Tina visited The View today to promote Tina’s new clothing line and Beyonce’s new DVD which will air on ABC later this week. Beyonce was wearing an $18 dollar dress from her moms new clothing line that is available in Wal-mart.
During the interview, Beyonce revealed that she wears four pairs of stockings to “keep it tight” when she is performing and that she loves her curves. “I lost a lot of weight for Dreamgirls and I personally didn’t feel like a woman. It’s beautiful on some people but I like to be curvy, I think it’s beautiful and men like curves.“. She also revealed that she was “okay” with her Heat commercial being banned in the UK. “I think it was very good because a lot of people went and watched the commercial, and it upped my sales. It was great!

T.I. TREATED UNFAIRLY???
Just before he turned himself in to a federal prison, TI sat down with Vibe Magazine for the December 2010 cover story. Inside, he spoke on how his good deeds are easily forgotten and how he acquired his drug habit:
On if he thinks he’s been treated unfairly
Let me just say this: [he sits up on the couch] If you look at a guy who came up, no pops in the house, moms on welfare, food stamps; started selling dope when he was 12, 13 years old, came up handling guns, being in shoot-outs; started going to jail when he was 15. In all of this chaos and this mischief and lawlessness, the person who was just in jail for machine guns and silencers turns his life around. And now you want to crucify him ―for what? Three pills. I mean, of course it’s wrong and unacceptable and inexcusable. No problem. But in the grand scheme of things, it’s rather petty. It’s rather petty to hold someone’s feet to the fire for something so small when they have overcame things that were so big. All that could have been going wrong―if I was riding with more guns, or if I had gotten into a shoot-out and killed somebody, then I could see that. But just think about it. I’ve gotten it down to this much.

NICKI MINAJ TO LIL KIM UM, IM NOT A REAL BARBIE…
Nicki Minaj loaded up and shot venom on Lil Kim earlier today in an interview with Angie Martinez.
“She just really jumped out of the window and you got to be careful when you pick fights. That’s what I learned in this business. You just never know. I think people get me mistaken with like a real Barbie, they forget where I’m from. If I have to revert back I can…. and I will. Don’t play with me. It’s one of those moments when you say “Don’t play with me”. I respect you and love you. I’ve said it in every interview, time and time again. And if that’s not good enough for you mama, then it’s something deep rooted in you. Something is bothering you inside, that’s your insecurity bothering you. It’s not Nicki Minaj, it’s any girl that’s popping. She picked a fight with Foxy, then she picked a fight with Eve, then it was Miss Wallace, now it’s Nicki Minaj. Every time you’re in the news, you are getting at somebody. Put your music out and when I see your name on Billboard that’s when I’ll respond to you. Other than that. Goodbye!”
Ouch! Hold on there’s more…
You know what scares people? Success. When you don’t make moves and you don’t climb up the latter, everybody loves you because you’re not competition. I feel like, you are going to go down in history now as a sore loser, as opposed to going down in history as the Queen.
We all take from each, there’s nothing new under the sun. When you see Gaga, you see Madonna, but Madonna never hated on Gaga. Why in the black community we have to hate on each other instead of saying “thank you for showing me love. Thank you for keeping my name alive”. The same way she opened doors for me, I am now opening doors for her. Because nobody was even playing your music and you damn sure couldn’t get an interview to save your life. But now, you’re getting interviews and every time you get an interview, they are asking you about Nicki Minaj. We are helping each other…but if you are bitter. Get a Life!
Leading into Nicki’s spiel on Lil Kim, she actually named her as one of the people who influenced her.


Kanye West Goes Into Fast Food With 10 Fatburger Restaurants

(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop star Kanye West will add to his discography today (November 22), when his fifth album, My Dark Twisted Fantasy lands in stores across the country.

But the Chicago rapper is planning to expand his career beyond music, with a possible new clothing line with high-end clothing line with French Fashion label, Lanvin and a chain of fast-food restaurants.

According to TheDailyBeast.com, Kanye West may turn into the next fast food mogul, as the rapper snatched up the franchise rights for 10 Fatburger restaurants in Chicago through his holding company, KW Foods LLC.

“It’s safe to say that we’ll be doing more strategic partnerships in areas like fashion and design,” Gee Roberson told The Daily Beast. “Music is the foundation for everything Kanye does, but he doesn’t want to be defined only as a musician. He’s really a designer. He designs his sounds, his raps, all aspects of his tour. He wants to do deals where he can have his fingerprints on the product.”

Kanye West, who already operates two of the restaurants in Orland Park and Beverly, joins a growing number of rappers who have invested money into the Fatburger franchise.

Hip-Hop musician Pharrell Williams opened two Fatburgers in China, Queen Latifah reportedly owns several of the restaurants, while E-40 closed his Fatburger in California in 2008.

T.I. SPEAKS OUT FROM JAIL...

T.I Releases Statement: “I’m ‘Sick and Motherf**kin’ Tired of Prison”

TI has been doing a good job, keeping his fans and supporters updated on his status while serving the rest of his sentence in Federal prison. Today, a message was posted to his website in which he described his time in jail as a “a pain I have never felt before”.
“This experience is truly a pain I have never felt before and that’s saying a lot for a n*gga who’s been down locked up as many times as I have. I see this as a real ass whoopin’. The kind you don’t just go back outside to play afterwards. You take ya ass to bed and don’t come out of your room until it’s time to go to school.
I don’ t know what effect this will have on my life moving forward but I’m certainly sick and mother f*cking tired of going to jail, juve, prison, the pen, correctional facilities or whatever else you want to call it. I’d have been better off doing a 5-10 year bid one time than going in time and time again for days, weeks and months for the last 15 years of my life.
Even though it’s been a long road, I’m still standing, barely but nevertheless still standing. At one time I thought my motivation for continuing was for my fans, my partna Philant, my pops, my grandmama, even for the haters or the people I let down. But nah… I got to do this shit for me!!! I’ll be God damned if I’ve come all this way and made it through so much hell to let it go down like this! F*ck that! If an hour in the dark is worth a second in the sun then pass me my mother f*ckin’ shades cause I’m ready to cash my darkest hours in…ASAP!!!
A lot of folks had fathers or father figures in the house to raise them into manhood. I’m not trying to make any excuses for my situation but my father was a hustler that lived in New York. My uncle was a local big time dope boy turned 10 year federal inmate.
My mother and grandparents did the best they could but I found my manhood in the trap and in prison systems. But I found it. And nan one of mine will ever have to feel the cold tight grip of a handcuff or grace the presence of a jail cell if I can help it.
Over my dead body!
So if you can’t respect that you ain’t rocking with my movement then Fuck you dog! I know a bunch of mother f*ckers who are…..
- Love KING”

TODAY ON THE TANGIE LARKIN SHOW…



RIHANNA CUSSES IN FRONT OF THE KIDS!

Ri Ri recently went on a radio show to clear up rumors about her love life and more!  She admits that she is in love with Matt Kemp but is not exactly ready to get married yet.  She also explained that the reason why she took pictures with kids wearing the “F-you necklace” was because they stopped her on the street as she was leaving dinner, “I never tell Kids no when it comes to pictures or autographs. The last thing I’m thinking about is my necklace.”

Check out what she had to say about Drake & Rumors below:
On Drake saying that she made him feel like a “Pawn
I would definitely say, that was wrong, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. We just became friends and we left it at that. We get along really well. Drake has a youthful thing about him and he is very melodic with the way he writes and I felt I needed someone like that for “Whats My Name”

Most hurtful rumor
I have a scar on my lip and they turned it into an std rumor. To see that they turned it into that, really hurt.



JAY-Z DROPS NEW BOOK “DECODED” TODAY…WHO INSPIRED HIM TO WRITE IT?

Jay-z was all smiles yesterday evening as he made an appearance at the New York Public Library to promote his new book “Decoded”. During the event, Jay fielded questions from Dr. Cornel West and Paul Holdengraber on the contents of the book.
Oprah was a big reason I wrote this book. We had conversations about language and the N word, and while we didn’t agree, we left that conversation with a better understanding.
Jay-z also sat down with The Associated Press recently and revealed that he agreed with the comments Kanye West made about former President Bush (even though Kanye later apologized) and that he still supports President Barack Obama.
I think what Kanye went through was, he himself became that, over the Taylor Swift incident. People said he was racist. And he’s not a racist person, so it made him reflect on the comments that he made. But I 100 percent agreed with the comments that he made, because again … it felt like it was being done to black people. Like all you saw on the news was black people on the news with help signs and all this stuff, and then you have this picture of the commander in chief, who we all rely on, just flying by. It’s like, What is that? … If that had happened anywhere else besides New Orleans, would the response (have) been so slow? Would Bush (have) been on the ground? You have to ask these sort of questions. Just the fact that he thinks that the worst thing that happened to him is Kanye saying something about him. Like, what? That alone shows you where his mind is. Are you kidding me?
On President Obama
I believe the same thing about Barack that I believed at day one. What he represents is bigger than any political agenda that he can pass across the House, Senate or whatever. I think that right now he’s going through a difficult period because people are putting the last eight years on his table and they’re judging him by it. You can’t expect a man to clean up eight years of mess in two years; it’s just bad math. It’s impossible

Hmmm, ok Rihanna, you dont have no kids so we give you a pass, this time!  But remember you are a role model to a lot of these kids sooooo.....

So guys you see Rihanna's mort hurtful rumor....whats the most hurtful rumor anyone ever made up/put out about you?

NEYO'S LIFE CHANGED OVER THE WEEKEND...
As he and Alleged Fiancee Monyetta Shaw welcomed in a new baby girl named Madeline Grace!  But the scoop is this is NOT Neyo's 1st time being a father, well technically....Check out this excerpt from an interview he did earlier this year with http://www.examiner.com/urban-pop-in-national/ne-yo-s-baby-news-a-second-chance-at-fatherhood

Ne-Yo is excited, to say the least, about news that he will soon be a father. While the baby is his first child, as he confirmed recently, it is not his first attempt at fatherhood.
Prior to the release of his third studio and Grammy Award winning album "Year of the Gentleman,' Ne-Yo had publicly claimed a toddler.
Later discovering the child was fathered by another man, Ne-Yo referred to the experience stating "I'm not allowed to talk about it, and I'm not allowed to see (him)," reportedly due to litigation.

Well either way, CONGRATS Neyo!  Welcome to Fatherhood :-)

FANTASIA FACES THE MUSIC....

Fantasia Comes Face To Face With Antwaun Cook’s Wife

Splash News
Just when we thought the alleged Fantasia husband-stealing situation had simmered down more details have leaked. According to RadarOnline.com, Fantasia met her ex- boyfriend Antwaun Cook’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Paula Cook in mediation early this month to discuss a settlement.
A source close to the situation says the two women attempted to settle their dispute through private mediation but the ladies were unable to reach a settlement, propelling Cook to move forward with a civil lawsuit against the singer.
“Fantasia and Paula were in mediation for nearly 12 hours on November 1,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com.
“They didn’t settle because Fantasia refuses to acknowledge that she was aware of Paula’s marriage to Antwaun when she started dating him, and Paula is adamant that she knew.”
According to the source, Fantasia and Paula are set to meet in a North Carolina courthouse again on November 22. “Fantasia was prepared to pay Paula as much as $100,000 to settle during their mediation, but it fell through,” another source told RadarOnline.com.“Paula plans on going all the way and is going to sue Fantasia for Alienation of Affection.”
Poor Fanny…
Are married men considered fair game when they are separated?

WHAT DOES YOUR NAME REALLY SAY ABOUT YOU????

A boy named Winner and his brother, Loser . . . The blackest names and the whitest names . . . The segregation of culture: why Seinfeld never made the top fifty among black viewers . . . If you have a really bad name, should you just change it? . . . High-end names and low-end names (and how one becomes the other) . . . Britney Spears: a symptom, not a cause . . . Is Aviva the next Madison? . . . What your parents were telling the world when they gave you your name.   In Chapter 6 of the book "FREAKONOMICS" - the authors explore the topic of names and, specifically, whether a person's given name affects his or her outcome in life and why people give their babies certain names to begin with. The authors discuss, more particularly, how blacks and whites name their babies very differently and whether having a distinctively black-sounding name affects one's life outcome. Finally, a significant portion of Chapter 6 is devoted to merely listing and comparing the most popular names in certain years given to babies of blacks and whites, high income and low income people and high education and low education people.

Whats the craziest name you ever heard and the meaning behind it?  Do you think its just more profiling?  Your thoughts?

QUESTION OF THE DAY: How can you be a parent if you didnt know you had a kid????

QUESTION OF THE DAY:

A lady sent an email (We'll call her Grandma) saying 6 years ago, her then 16 year old son starting having sex with a fetish for older women. He ended up getting one of the women pregnant and on the day she had the baby, she told him the baby passed away. 6 years later, the "baby's mom" sister c...alls and reveals that the baby didnt die and is alive and healthy with the "baby's mom". So Grandma looks up Babymom on facebook and sees pictures of the now 6 year old little girl looking like her now 22 year old son! So her question is, should they reach out and burst baby mom's bubble and try to start a relationship with the child or should they go on living like they didnt know the child existed???? Because get this, Baby mom doesnt even know that Grandma&BabyDad now know the truth!!!! Weigh in guys, what should she do? and why?

"JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD READ IT ALL, THIS ARTICLE SEEMS TO SAY THAT CHEATING COULD BE A MEDICAL DISORDER?"

"COULD CHEATING BE A MEDICAL DISORDER?"
 
If it seemed bad before to have been cheated on or know someone who has been cheated on, perhaps this might ease the pain: cheating is a medical disorder! According to Dr. Abby Rosen, author of a new book called "Lasting Transformation," there is a diagnosis for cheaters that she calls NCCDPD -- also known as Narcissistic, Critical, Controlling and Domineering Personality Disorder. Yikes!
