I’ve done did a lot of sheyt just to live this here lifestyle

Negga livin’ life like volcano and this only the beginnin’

I’m on the top of the mountain, puffin’ on clouds and neggas still beginnin’

[Verse 1: Young Thug]

Million 5 on the Visa card

Hundred bands still look like the fockin’ tires

Negga servin’ great white like I’m feedin’ sharks

I won’t do nothin’ with the bish, she can’t even get me hard

Somethin’ wrong with the poosay

Even though I ain’t gon’ hit it, I’ma still make sure that she douche it

Me and my woadie, we don’t get caught up like that, no way

We ain’t got time to go see doctors, J

(Who said money?)

Hop up in my bed full of forty bishes and yawnin’

Hey, this a show bish you performin’

I do this sheyt for my daughters and all my sons, bish

I’m a run up them bands, I’ll take out their funds, bish

I got a moms bish, she got a moms bish

I got sisters and brothers to feed

I ain’t goin’ out like no idiot, I’m a OG

[Hook: Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug]

[Verse 2: Young Thug]

Still screamin’ “Fock the otherside”

I’ma ride for my neggas, aye

And I’ma die for my neggas, aye

Ain’t gonna be latching on my neggas aye

Neggas couldn’t see me if they had a genie

I’ma live my life like Bennie, R.I.P. my brother Bennie

I stack my racks to the ceiling, now these neggas can’t beat me

I just might wake up when Chanel and these bishes can’t see me

I’m in a whole other league

I ain’t got aids but I swear to God I would bleed

‘Til I D.I.E

28 floors up I feel like I could F.L.Y.E.E

Pee on top of these bishes

God told me they can never stop me so they ain’t gon’ stop me

I’m in that coffin with baby mommy gettin’ sloppy toppy

I’m bleedin’ red like a devil, I see these bis.

0hes plotting

They wanna know how I got M’s and I didn’t finish college

[Hook: Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug]

[Verse 3: Rich Homie Quan]

I do it for my daddy, I do it for my mama

Money on money, I got commas in every bank

Talkin’ ’bout takin’ somethin’ from me, like no way

Thugger Thugger, that’s my brother, brother

You don’t want no trouble trouble or you can get these fists, knuckle knuckle

Buckle up like a seatbelt or I’ll shoot yah

Punchin’ on the gas, too fast, and I lose yah

Give me a bed, I’ll do her, I want a head, Medusa

Hey, I’m in her mouth just like toothpaste 

AND HERE IS THE TWEET TO PROVE HE SAID IT!

Uh-Oh: Ludacris’ On Break Baby Mama Makes New Demands In Child Support Case

Earlier this year Ludacris was one of the several celebrity men to fall victim of the break baby (a baby they had outside of their relationship, claiming they were on a “break”). Ludacris has been trying hard to avoid paying high child support including heading to child support court before the mother does, allegedly lying about his income and claiming that the woman is only after him for money, though they’ve been rumored to have carried on a relationship of sorts since high school.

Reports Baller Alert via The Jasmine Brand:

Well in the latest soap opera surrounding Ludacris’ break baby, his baby mama Tamika Fuller has gone to court to prove that Luda is lying about his income. Fuller requested $15k a month in child support, but Luda rejected it, saying he only makes $25,000 a month. The courts didn’t believe that one bit and ordered him to pay $10k a month temporarily and $35,000 for Tamika’s legal fees (which is only right considering he drug her to court first). 

When Paul Walker died, production on Fast and Furious 7 was held up and Luda claimed he only brought in $55k for the entire year and was only able to afford $1,800 a month. Now Tamika wants to see receipts because she’s ready for Luda to start paying the $15k child support she feels she’s owed. 

According to Tamika she wants Luda to hand over all loan documents, financial records showing all sources of income, home and car purchases, and any purchases of tangible items such as clothes, jewelry, furs, furniture, electronics and anything with a $499 or more price tag. Her goal is to prove that Ludacris indeed has the money and can indeed afford more than $1,800 a month in child support. 

Evelyn Lozada Flaunts Her Post-Baby Bikini Body [Pics]

After giving an update on her post-baby seven weeks after giving birth to her son Carl Leo, Evelyn Lozada is now showing off her 50-pound weight loss at the five month mark.

In a recent article for OK! magazine, the reality star flaunted her figure in a black crochet monokini. She shared a few pics of her lounging poolside, and also standing in the pool.

Included in the write-up she says:

Summer will end soon and if you had a baby this spring, then you know exactly what I have been going through. AAARGH. I have been using the last few months busting my butt to try and get back to my pre-baby weight. I don’t think I have ever been this focused in MY LIFE! I had to drop so many things, and in between taking care of baby and home, I HAD to take care of my body. My goal was to end summer with a bang and wear a swimsuit PROUDLY!

Evelyn adds that one of her favorite swimsuits is this crochet monokini by Free People, that she’s rockin’ in the accompanying photos. “It’s very flirty, and the crochet details give the black suit a boho vibe that proves rocking a bikini isn’t the only way to look seriously hot!” she explains.

Actress Raven Symone is slaying in a brand new photoshoot. And we’re here for all of her fabness.

Shot by photographer Bruce Talbot, the Academy of Art University student turns up the super model realness (before the rainbow hair) in an array of shots which include a structured maroon dress, a lush red lippie and an exaggerated white gown. It appears the pics were likely taken a few months ago, as she already shared a photo on social media of her in the Janet Jackson "What's It Gonna Be?!" dress (above).

Recently, she talked about embracing her sexuality and being confident in the skin you’re in. She said,

You have to be confident in who you are no matter what your team, background noise or front-ground noise makes. You have to stay strong as long as you’re not, ya know, being a drug addict or nothing crazy then you gotta listen. But when you’re just trying to color your hair, stay strong. It’s hard because people want to continue the brand, continue the look that they created to, I’m being honest, they want continue that look that made them money for so long but sometimes it doesn’t always coincide with who you are as a person…

Hot.

Pictures of Matthew and Camila McConaughey after their intimate wedding

They are renowned for avoiding the traditional in favour of the more unique.But when it came to outfits for their wedding, Matthew and Camila McConaughey went for a simple approach, as the first picture from the pair's intimate wedding on the cover of America's People magazine has revealed.

While Matthew, 42, looked smart in a black tuxedo, Camila, 29, is seen wearing a long-sleeve white lace dress, complete with a beaded headdress, drop silver earrings and matching veil.The pair are seen gazing lovingly into each others' eyes in the touching picture.

Talking about the pair's decision to wed, Matthew tells People: 'We decided to embrace the ritual of marriage as an opportunity and adventure we'll take together.'

The couple were watched by around 120 guests, including famous faces such as Reese Witherspoon and Matthew's close friend Woody Harrelson, as they tied the knot at their home in Austin, Texas on June 9th.

But the most special guests of all were undoubtedly the pair's two children Levi, 3, and two-year-old Vida, who took pride of place as ring bearer and flower girl respectively for the wedding.Camila added of her children's roles in the ceremony: 'Somehow they both seem to understand what we are doing on a spiritual level.'The pair are said to have shared whispered vows, uttering them into each other's ears, according to Us Weekly.

A source told the publication: 'No one knew what they said. Whatever they said was very emotional. [Camila] was tearing up.'
The couple - who had been together six years before getting engaged last Christmas - decided against a traditional first dance and a cake - instead of opting for a selection of desserts.They shared a long passionate kiss, before dancing the night away into the early hours, the report continues.

Camila has taken Matthew's surname and has officially become Camila McConaughey, the actor's representation told People.com.The publication also reports that the couple kept the nuptials a secret from some guests up until the very last minute.A sea of tents set out in the grounds of the property provided accommodation for their guests.

The luxury temporary abodes, numbered 1-47, were in four rows in the garden and were said to be kitted out with beds, cosy white fur rugs on the floor, and outdoor seating with doormats at the front.

Shortly after the wedding, Matthew was spotted leaving a gym in Austin - distracting from his sweat-soaked workout gear with his new gold wedding band.

Rodney King…Symbol of The 1991 L.A Riots DEAD @ 47

His beating stunned the nation, left Los Angeles smoldering and helped reshape race relations and police tactics. And in a quavering voice on national television, Rodney King pleaded for peace while the city burned.
But peace never quite came for King — not after the fires died down, after two of the officers who broke his skull multiple times were punished, after Los Angeles and its flawed police department moved forward. His life, which ended Sunday at age 47 after he was pulled from the bottom of his swimming pool, was a continual struggle even as the city he helped change moved on.
The images — preserved on an infamous grainy video — of the black driver curled up on the ground while four white officers clubbed him more than 50 times with batons — became a national symbol of police brutality in 1991. More than a year later, when the officers' acquittals touched off one of the most destructive race riots in history, his scarred face and softspoken question — "Can we all get along?" — spurred the nation to confront its difficult racial history.
But while Los Angeles race relations and the city's police department made strides forward, King kept coming before police and courts, struggling with alcohol addiction and arrests, periodically re-appearing publicly for a stint on "Celebrity Rehab" or a celebrity boxing match. He spent the last months of his life promoting a memoir he titled "The Riot Within: From Rebellion to Redemption."
King was declared dead at a hospital after his fiancée called 911 at 5:25 a.m. to say she found him submerged in the pool at his home in Rialto, about an hour's drive from Los Angeles. Officers found King in the deep end of the pool, pulled him out and tried unsuccessfully to revive him with CPR.

An autopsy was expected to determine the cause of death within two days; police found no alcohol or drug paraphernalia near the pool and said foul play wasn't suspected. King's next-door neighbor, Sandra Gardea, said that around 3 a.m., she heard music and someone "really crying, like really deep emotions. ... Like tired or sad, you know?"
"I then heard someone say, 'OK, Please stop. Go inside the house.' ... We heard quiet for a few minutes Then after that we heard a splash in the back."
King's death was a grim ending to a saga that began 21 years earlier when he fled from police after he was stopped for speeding. The 25-year-old, on parole from a robbery conviction had been drinking, which he later said led him to try to evade police. He was finally stopped by four Los Angeles police officers who struck him more than 50 times with their batons, kicked him and shot him with stun guns. He was left with 11 skull fractures, a broken eye socket and facial nerve damage.
A man who had quietly stepped outside his home to observe the commotion videotaped most of it and turned a copy over to a TV station. It was played over and over for the following year, inflaming racial tensions across the country.
It seemed that the videotape would be the key evidence to a guilty verdict against the officers, whose felony assault trial was moved to the predominantly white suburb of Simi Valley, Calif. Instead, on April 29, 1992, a jury with no black members acquitted three of the officers on state charges in the beating; a mistrial was declared for a fourth.
Violence erupted immediately, starting in Los Angeles. They lasted for three days, killing 55 people, injuring more than 2,000 and setting swaths of Los Angeles aflame, causing $1 billion in damage. Police, seemingly caught off-guard, were quickly outnumbered by rioters and retreated. As the uprising spread to the city's Koreatown area, shop owners armed themselves and engaged in running gun battles with looters.
King — who said in his memoir that FBI agents had urged him to keep a low profile if the officers were acquitted, expecting violence — appeared at a news conference on the third day, asking for an end to the uprising. "Can we all get along?" he asked — a question the city and nation have struggled to answer ever since.

Although the four officers who beat King — Stacey Koon, Theodore Briseno, Timothy Wind and Laurence Powell — were acquitted of state charges, Koon and Powell were convicted of federal civil rights charges and were sentenced to more than two years in prison. King received a $3.8 million civil judgment; one of the jurors in the case, Cynthia Kelley, is his fiancée.
But he quickly lost the money as he invested in a record label and other failed ventures. He was arrested multiple times for drunken driving — including last summer in Riverside, Calif.
Despite his troubles, King remained upbeat as he confronted the 20 year anniversary of the LA riots and considered his legacy.
"America's been good to me after I paid the price and stayed alive through it all," he told The Associated Press in an interview earlier this year. "This part of my life is the easy part now."
He had three daughters and was engaged to Kelley.
He returned to the spotlight earlier this year as historians and news outlets explored the impact of the riots on its 20th anniversary, including the reforms made by the Los Angeles Police Department.

"Through all that he had gone through with his beating and his personal demons he was never one to not call for reconciliation and for people to overcome and forgive," Rev. Al Sharpton said Sunday. "History will record that it was Rodney King's beating and his actions that made America deal with the excessive misconduct of law enforcement."
Attorney Harland Braun, who represented one of the police officers, Briseno, in his federal trial, said King's case never would have gained the prominence it did without the videotape of his beating.
"If there hadn't been a video there would have never been a case," Braun said. "In those days, you might have claimed excessive force but there would have been no way to prove it."
The video also sparked an examination of Los Angeles police tactics under then-Police Chief Daryl Gates.
"The Rodney King beating stands as a landmark in the recent history of law enforcement, comparable to the Scottsboro case in 1931 and the Serpico case in 1967," said a July 1991 report produced by an independent commission led by Warren Christopher, who later became Secretary of State.
The report determined that despite many good officers, there were "a significant number of officers in the LAPD who repetitively use excessive force against the public."
Despite that scrutiny, the department continued to face scandals and critics of its practices until the U.S. government intervened. The department operated under a decade-long consent decree with the U.S. Justice Department' civil rights division to implement reforms on how it uses force and handles complaints; the department also gained more civilian oversight. The decree wasn't formally lifted until 2009.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who knew King for years, said he was more of a victim than a hero, and that his death reminded the nation of how far it still needs to go.
Gardea described King as a quiet neighbor until Sunday morning. Cory Hudson, King's cousin who lives nearby, said King enjoyed swimming and was known to get into the pool at night.
"It's just sad. I feel bad for all the family members," Hudson said. "It's been rough. And he was just getting his life really together."
Braun, the attorney saw King as "a sad figure swept up into something bigger than he was.
"He wasn't a hero or a villain.".....R.I.P!

Floyd Mayweather Complains of Jail Conditions, Stint May Damage His Physique 

Although Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has done less than two weeks at this point, he’s already began to complain about it’s harmful affects. What’s the big deal? As you know, he’s been sentenced to three months (for domestic violence against his child’s mother), but according to doctors, being jailed could be highly detrimental to his career. In new legal documents, we’ve learned that he reportedly has to spend 23 hours of the day in isolation for his own safety and he is unable to train. In addition to not being able to train, his jail diet is harmful to keeping up with his boxer training regiment. A doctor notes that his jail stint could provide

“irreversible damage to Mr. Mayweather’s physique.”
They have requested house arrest instead. What do we think of Floyd’s request?

Burglars Break-Into Kanye West’s LA Home

According to reports, Kanye West’s Los Angeles home was hit by burglars. TMZ reports:
Someone in Kanye’s camp who was at Kanye’s home called the LAPD this morning to report the break-in. We do not know what, if anything, was taken but people at the scene tell us … there was evidence the thieves dropped some of Kanye’s possessions on the way out.. West is currently overseas wrapping up his European ‘Watch the Throne’ tour with fellow star Jay-Z and apparently witnesses told police that the thieves dropped some of his things on their way out.

In May, it was reported that the “Golddigger” singer put the same house on sale as a private listing close to the time that his girlfriend Kim Kardashian put her’s on the market, which sparked rumors that the two were moving in together.

Kanye has not made a statement about the recent crime, though there's already beefed up security surrounding his posh Tinseltown abode.

The victim Jacqueline Wisniewski, 33, worked as a receptionist at the hospital and was described as a 'one-time girlfriend'. She has a young son and was training to be a nurse.

Witnesses reported hearing four shots just after 8am. Ms Wisniewski was found dead in a covered passageway connecting the Kidney Center and another wing of the hospital, according to ABC.
The shooting prompted a four-hour lockdown of the hospital, as SWAT teams and K-9 units swarmed the campus in an attempt to corner the killer.
Police believe Jorden, who they have named as a 'person of interest', could be 'special weapons trained' from his time in the Army.
Police have blocked a road leading to Jorden's home in an isolated area of private Lake View residences near the Lake Erie shore.

SWAT team members in camouflage arrived in unmarked SUVs and say he may be armed and dangerous. Officers had obtained a warrant and were using specialized robotic devices to search the home.
While many have described him as a popular surgeon, sources told the Buffalo News that he has recently suffered some emotional problems, but did not go into further detail.
A police helicopter and SWAT team members in camouflage surrounded his home on West Arnold Drive in Lakeview, blocking off access to the road.
But at a news conference Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown and Buffalo Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda said no residents, hospital staff or patients are in danger.

There have been conflicting reports about where exactly the shooting took place, with  some saying it occurred in a covered walkway between buildings, while others said it took place in a stairwell.

Officials said as many as 400 patients and about half of the hospital's 2,000 employees were on the grounds at the time.
'The SWAT Team is in control of the situation,' Buffalo police spokesman Michael J. DeGeorge said during a news conference after the shooting. 'It is an active situation.'
The hospital also diverted emergency room patients to Buffalo General Hospital but most of the campus re-opened at 2 p.m.
'Normally this is very safe,' hospital volunteer Lois Peterson told the Buffalo News. 'I've volunteered here for 42 years. But this is tragic.'
Police described Jorden as a bald, black male, about 6ft 2 and 250 pounds, and showed his photograph at check points in the search for tips.
Authorities also described the four vehicles - two GMC Sierra pickups, a Cadillac and a Chevrolet Cobalt - all registered in his name.

After completing high school, Jorden joined the Army and served with the Army's Special Forces, as a weapons expert then as a medic. He was on active duty in the Caribbean, Japan and Korea.
Jorden has been licensed to practice medicine in New York since 2002 and treats patients at the medical center and other major hospitals in the area.
'I've wanted to be a doctor since early in my military career as a medic,' Jorden told the Buffalo News in a 1996 profile, which featured pictures of his wife and their son.

He received his certification from the American Board of Surgery in 2004. There are no legal actions against his license and he has no criminal background.

Meet Erica Dixon Of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta," Get The Dish On Boyfriend Lil' Scrappy And BEEF With Diamond

Erica Dixon, the girlfriend and baby's mother of rapper Lil' Scappy, chatted exclusively about her new role on "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta." If you don't know who she is, don't worry, I didn't either. But since we love a good love triangle and some good drama, we were quick to get to know Ms. Erica. From her relationship with her rapper boyfriend to beef with his ex to her drug addict parents, we've got it all.

I told you earlier about the cast of VH1's "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" but most of you were left with big question marks when you read off the names of the stars. One such castmate is Erica Dixon, the girlfriend of Lil' Scrappy and mother of his 7-year-old daughter Emani. Though many people don't know who she is now, Erica promises to break-out from Scrappy's shadow and show the world "I am my own woman."

I just had to know how the two co-parent and if there is/was any tension between her and Scrappy's ex, ATL rapper Diamond (who was also rumored to originally be cast for the show).

Atlanta native Erica spoke exclusively with with my girls over at TheYBF about her role on "L&H: Atlanta" and why she decided to do the show.
"I wanted people to know know who I am," she eagerly told us. "A lot of people associated Lil' Scrappy with Diamond and they assumed that my child was her child. So I just want to give people a little insight on who I am and what I have going on."
Erica revealed that she met Lil' Scrappy in 2002 right after she graduated high school, and they began a relationship that has been "on and off" over the years. Now this may strike some as odd since the rapper is commonly associated with his ex-chick Diamond. So what's up with all the overlap?

"We've been a relationship on and off for ten years. During that off period, he was with Diamond. That situation came along years down the line during the whole Crime Mob thing after he signed with Lil' Jon."
Well that explains it.

Erica added that there was NEVER a love triangle. "When Scrappy was with Diamond, he was not with me."
When asked if she ever has any contact with Diamond, Erica set the record straight:
"She was in a relationship with him, not me....so we don't have a relationship. But with a situation like that you have your ups and downs....but this is about me right now. I don't want to dwell on her. Whatever relationship they had is in the past."

But with Atlanta's hip hop community being so small, one would imagine the couple must still have some type of dealings with Diamond. In fact, rumors have been swirling that Diamond quit the show when she found out that Erica and Lil' Scrappy's mother, Mama Dee, had signed on. We inquired about the rumor. And Erica stayed mum due to being barred from talking too much about the show. Heaven forbid anything is revealed before the show actually airs.
Outside of the show, Erica says she is in the beginning stages of a couple of things: Developing an online clothing boutique and starting a non-profit organization that targets young girls.

"I had a hard childhood growing because I didn't have my mom around at all times," she explained.

Erica revealed that her mom was a drug addict and was in jail for her the first 6 years of her life. And because her father battled an alcohol addiction, she was raised by an aunt and uncle.

"But I've grown from that and I want youn girls to know that you can still grow up and be anything you want to be." She adds that she and her parents are in a much better space now and she has great relations with both of them.

With her own childhood being so rough, she makes it a point that Emani doesn't have those same issues.
"We are great parents. I am a mother first and Scrappy is a great Dad. He is crazy about his little girl. He is very invloved in any and everything she had going on."

She added that Mama Dee even gets in on the action making Christmas cookies, carving pumpkins for Halloween and is a fun grandmother. Does Erica have any regrets about the show? She said, "I like the castmates and the show itself was a great opportunity."
