Drake Joins Toronto Raptors As A Creative Consultant
Drake and his hometown NBA franchise Toronto Raptors joined forces in a business partnership to overhaul the image of the Canadian basketball squad. On Monday (Sept 30) at the Air Canada Centre, Drizzy will join the executives of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment as a consultant to the struggling team.
Several outlets reported on the new deal to place Drake in a creative role with the team, along with the expected comparisons to Jay Z's role during his time with the Brooklyn Nets franchise. With the news that Toronto will host the 2016 NBA All-Star Game, Drake will undoubtedly play a big role in promoting that affair and will take the lead on several other initiatives for the Raptors.
The Toronto Star writes that Drake will launch a clothing line with the team, and has been asked to help with a redesign of the Raptors' uniforms for the 2014-2015 season. Changes for the team will be extensive and while Drake has close ties with NBA players, he has promised not to potentially tamper with team rules.
The Raptors have been positioning themselves with bold moves, such as the free agent signing of swingman Rudy Gay, and the hiring of former Denver Nuggets GM Massai Ujiri.
Follow this link to see Drake's introduction at the Toronto Raptors press conference as they formally accept the hosting duties for the 2016 NBA All-Star Game.

Baby Fab: Vanessa Simmons Announces Pregnancy, Releases Sonogram Photo
Congratulations are in order for Vanessa Simmons! Monday afternoon, the daughter of Rev. Run, announced that she’s expecting. Using Instagram, she shared a sonogram, writing that she’s expecting a baby girl.
A little princess on the way.
After her announcement, younger sister Angela wrote:
I’m going to be an aunty!

Vanessa has remained pretty private about her love life, so no word on the father of her child or her relationship status. In either case, congrats!



Miley Cyrus: I’N NOT PREGNANT!
She’s been acting a little crazy lately, but it turns out Miley Cyrus' erratic behavior isn’t the result of pregnancy hormones.
The “Can’t Be Tamed” songstress was the target of baby rumors after the Cream Bmp Daily website claimed she announced that she and Juicy J were expecting.
Cyrus supposedly said, “No, I am really pregnant,” and Juicy was claimed to have affirmed, “She’s been doing a lot more than twerking.” But it turns out no such quotes ever actually happened.
In fact, Miley wasn’t even in attendance at the BET Hip Hop Awards where she supposedly leaked the news.
However, there’s an entirely separate batch of pregnancy rumors regarding her recently-ended relationship with ex-fiance Liam Hemsworth. One source declared, “Miley wanted to announce it to the world but Liam begged her not to go public.”

“He was emotionally out of the romance for months by that point, though he was still sleeping with her. She agreed to stay quiet for Liam's sake.” All of this to say, Miley is not with child!



New Music Ish: Mack Wilds Drops New Album “King Of New York: A Love Story”
Watch out y’all, there’s a new kid on the block.
Actor/Rising R&B singer Tristan Paul “Mack” Wilds released his album “The King of New York: A Love Story” today and it seems to have caused a lot of buzz.

In an interview Mack did with us we asked him about his transition from acting to music and surprisingly he told us that music was his first love and that acting was something he wanted to do because his big brother was doing it. He has finally pursued his first love.

Mack’s album has 13 tracks of his own original music.
According to Vibe,
The Staten Island native has been grinding out in the studio for the past year while completing King Of New York: A Love Story and has worked closely with Salaam Remi on the project. As the first artist on the producer’s new label Re Mi Fa/Louder Than Life. The former The Wire star is ready to dominate the R&B Charts.
Wilds is taking a big risk being the first and only artist on his producers, but it looks like he has some well known names on his album.

Rumor has it that Mack has some big guest appearances on his album, legendary Doug E Fresh, Method Man, and Raekwon.
It looks like Mack is adjusting to being a music artist well and he’ll especially be adjusted when the groupies start coming along. We do think the title of his album is a little out of his league but hey he may prove us wrong.
One thing that we can say is that if this music thing doesn’t work out he has his acting to fall back on.



Rapper Cash Out Robbed at Waffle House of nearly $40,000 in Jewelry and Phone
It’s a damn shame, you can’t even go eat in peace these days, without someone trying to rob you.
Three men were robbed of nearly $40,000 worth of jewelry and electronics as they were eating breakfast at a Waffle House in Buckhead Monday morning.
According to Atlanta police, Vincent Lamar Robinson aka “Cash Out,” Raheem Jefferson and Derrick Johnson walked into the Waffle House located near Pharr Road and Piedmont Road around 6:30 a.m. Investigators said they had just come from the Room Service Lounge nearby.

Shortly after sitting down at a table, two men entered the restaurant and sat down at the booth where the three victims were. One of the suspects then pulled out a small black semiautomatic handgun and pressed it against Jefferson’s ribs and said, “Don’t move or say anything, I’ll shoot you right here” and “Give me your watch and gold chain.”

The suspects took Robinson’s gold chain described as a medallion forged into the letters “DC” covered in diamonds valued at $6,000 and a Rolex watch with a big black face. The watch was also covered in diamonds and valued at $20,000.

Suge Knight’s Ex-Fiancee Stormey Ramdhan In The Works of A Tell-All Book….
Suge Knight’s ex-fiancee and baby mother Stormey Ramdhan is writing a tell-all book about her life with the music CEO and famous gang member, titled My Life With The Knight.
According to her website:
“This book will delineate the love affair, the life lived and the experiences of Stormey Ramdhan with a man known to us as Suge Knight. It’s a journey of 20 years. From the beginning of it all, sudden wealth, success, and the making of stars,” she wrote in the book’s foreword. “Also it’s a chance to humanize an image. Many people will relate to our story of unconditional love, innocence, lies, betrayal, jail, and ultimately abandonment. It’s a chance to display what the pressures of Hollywood can do to a family; how losing focus and bad decisions can end it all. This story will let everyone know how the demise can effect the whole family, the people you don’t see, the people no one thinks exist, but the people who have to live with picking up the pieces when it all falls down.”
She added that her story will “expose the untold Death Row story as seen through the eyes of the woman behind the mogul.”

Well I guess since R&B Divas Michel’le revealed her secret regarding Suge, this baby mama thought she would do the same….what do you think

HAVE MERCY! Deacon SHOT THE PASTOR for sleeping with his WIFE!



LORD JESUS Deacon SHOT THE PASTOR for sleeping with his WIFE!
JESUS Take the wheel! In reports you've likely already seen all over the net and news this week, Pastor Ronald J. Harris Sr. was gunned down by a former parishoner under some VERY suspicious circumstances last week. Now, find out the emerging details about the pastor and his alleged relationship with the gunman's wife inside....

Lake Charles, LA was rocked Friday evening after a murder in the pulpit.  Former deacon, Woodrow Karey Jr., walked into the Tabernacle of Praise Worship Center and killed Pastor Ronald J. Harris Sr. by shooting him twice at point blank range.  All in the middle of a revival service.
Before you write this off as just complete random foolishness, the emerging backstory may shed some light on this horrible incident.
According to Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers, Woodrow shot Pastor Ronald twice (once at close range and again after the pastor was on the floor).  Woodrow later fled on foot before calling the Sheriff's office and turning himself in. As it stands now, he's been booked on a second-degree murder charge and his bond is set at $1 million.

Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Tony Mancuso told NBC News affiliate KPLC, 
"We’re trying to put all the pieces together. I’m sure we’re going to get responses from both sides, saying that they’re both great people and it’s my understanding that Pastor Harris and Mr. Karey were great friends at some point.  So, this makes it very difficult for us to get to the bottom of this if in fact people don’t come forth and tell us the truth. We’re in that process, it’s going to take a long time but that’s where we are in this investigation.”


Completely andom shootings like this rarely, if ever, happen inside the churches down south.  So this begs the question of whether the cause was one of personal nature.
Of course, we want to know what the "cause" was too.  Any good Southern Baptist knows that people of the curch will eventually talk.  And a lot of -ish has been discussed since Sunday....

Depending on where you look, you'll naturally find a few "different" perspectives on the Pastor. His daughter, Talisha Harris, told the Associated Press, "One question I do want to ask him (Woodrow) is why. My dad had a big heart. He'd help anybody."
Well....some of the good church folks are saying the Pastor had a big sexual appetite for the women folk.  Allegedly.
One source put it this way to a website reporting on the incident:
“He was sleeping with multiple women at the church parsonage, but he slept with the Deacon’s wife at the Woodrow’s house. This has been going on for a while, so it was only a matter of time before it came out. I Just didn’t think it would come out like this. If you get a man’s daughter pregnant and you sleeping with his wife – then I could see how this happened.”

Yes....you read that right. The "rumor" is the Pastor was also sleeping with the former Deacon's daughter. And she might be pregnant. But wait.....there's more.  

The deacon's wife filed a rape complaint against the Pastor!  And that's been proven.
The Associated Press revealed that Woodrow found some "inappropriate texts" on his wife's cellphone on Sept. 21, a few days before she filed the complaint and less than a week before the shooting. Cops plan to explore if their relationship was consensual. 

This is some big ol' church mess.....we'll keep you posted as details emerge.

Say What? Andre 3000 allegedly said DJ Quick HAS AIDS?



DJ Quik Blames Andre 3000 For Making People Think He Has Aids ?
This was so random, so apprently DJ Quik went on a rant via twitter , blaming Andre 3000 for telling his brother that he was sick and it turned into him having Aids. I guess it has spread across the Midwest. But what I don’t get is , why was his first reaction to take his frustrations and air it out on Twitter? … Quik needs to worry about his daughter’s upcoming murder trial… Instead of worrying about a rumor that someone supposedly started… Check his tweet.
So it’s 3000′s fault that someone else falsely assumed he has a disease? And going on Twitter is doing nothing but fanning the flames. Quik hasn’t been relevant in years, and I doubt these young kids would have known who he was anyway, even if they heard of the rumor. SIDE EYE!
SO MESSY!
