Lil Kim Then 
Can someone please help? I don’t know what’s going on with her, but this message is out of sheer concern. No amount of make-up and plastic surgery can change how you feel on the inside. It’s time for counseling, before she looks like Michael Jackson’s twin.

Honestly, Rappers will do anything for a little publicity. They will add a S-Felony to their record if it means selling more albums. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s going to work this time around. The three least hardest rappers in the game, I believe Remy Ma has more street credit. Check out their real names: Wesley and Jeffrey.
Platinum rap artist Lil’ Flip was arrested and charged with credit/debit card abuse in Houston Saturday. The artist, 26, whose real name is Wesley Weston, turned himself in around 2:30 p.m. at Harris County Courthouse 21 and was released on $2,000 bond.
“It has more to do with people around him, and not the man himself. The man is not a criminal; he’s never been in trouble. ” said community activist Quanell X, speaking on behalf of Weston. [Source]

DUI probationer Eve toasted friends with Evian at Stereo on W. 29th St. Thursday night. When asked “Where’s your drink?” she showed off her ankle alcohol- monitoring bracelet – see, it was cool before Lindsay – and said, “Only a few more days to go!”
I actually find Evian quite refreshing. I am glad to see someone following the provisions of their probation. Eve needs to sit down and have a chat with fellow rapper Foxy Brown.

Usher fiance, Tameka Foster is jealous of the relationship between Chilli and Usher’s mom, Jonetta Patton. According to InTouch Weekly, Chilli stop by to see Mrs. Patterson and Tameka Foster just happened to stopped by also. Needless to say, Tameka Foster was irate and shouted at Chilli, “Doesn’t your boyfriend have a mom you can visit?” Chilli responded with a simple, “Grow-up” and walked away laughing.
All I can say is Usher and Chilli made a photo-perfect couple. Sometimes you can’t help who you love, but is anybody on Tameka Foster’s side.
