NFL Baller Bryant McKinnie Ordered To Pay $150K For 4000 Unpaid Lap Dances
In 2012 Bryant McKinnie was the target of a lawsuit that contends the Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman owes $375,000 for services accumulated at South Florida strip clubs between February 2009 and September 2010.

Charles “Pop” Young, the father of rapper Trick Daddy, filed the lawsuit in Miami-Dade Circuit Court on Monday afternoon. Well, it looks like that lawsuit wasn’t too off because a new lawsuit claims the baller owes $150K for 4000 booty dances!
Turns out Bryant McKinnie‘s infamous $375,000 strip club bill wasn’t as “bogus” as he said it was; the 350-pound offensive tackle has finally agreed to pay for a massive chunk of the alleged debt, roughly 4,000 lap dances worth, aka $150,000.
According to new court documents, McKinnie recently struck a settlement agreement with Trick Daddy‘s father Charles “Pops” Young after Young sued McKinnie for $375,000 in 2012.
Young claimed McKinnie ran up the bill over a 20-month period at two of his strip clubs, including the Miami staple King of Diamonds. According to Young, McKinnie promised to pay the bill back in 2010, but never did.

Mariah Carey Lip Sync Disaster (Video)
Yikes! Mariah Carey’s backing track goes silent just as she’s about to hit the high note during a performance of ‘Always Be My Baby’ on the Today show. Mariah Carey appeared on the Today Show concert series on Friday and somebody on the sound board screwed up her backing track.
To her credit Mariah sings most of the song herself, even singing the wrong lyrics on the bridge, but then at the 2:28 mark just as she’s about to hit her signature high note, Mariah appears to be singing her heart out only there’s no sound coming out of her mouth.
50 Cent: “I Didn’t Blow Off My Son’s Graduation…I Wasn’t Invited”
50 Cent didn’t abandon his son on high school graduation day — despite an emotional Facebook post from the kid — instead 50 claims he was intentionally blocked from attending by his son’s mother … at least that’s what 50 is telling friends.
tmz
Sources close to the rapper tell TMZ, Fiddy is extremely hurt and upset by the photo his son Marquise Jackson posted on Facebook Sunday crying in his cap and gown while hugging his mother.
Marquise wrote, “Yea I broke down. I was really excited to see my pops at my graduation but he never showed up smh. My sister and mama is always there for me just know that you wasn’t. I did it without you.”
But 50 disagrees … telling friends he was never told when or where the graduation ceremony was, or he would have been there. FYI, the ceremony was at Marquise’s private school in ATL (the same school 50 reportedly foots the bills for).
We’re told 50 spent last weekend in NYC for a charity event.

Ray J’s Wedding Gift To Kim And Kanye (You’ll Never Guess)
It may be the most awesome wedding gift of all time … Ray J is giving Kim Kardashian and Kanye West a $47K check … representing 4 months of his 2014 profits from the epic flat back tape with Kim.
tmz
It’s breathtaking on 2 levels — that Ray J has such humongous cajones, and that the tape is still raking in a fortune after 7 years.
Here’s the breakdown of the wedding gift. Mind you, this is just Ray J’s cut:
– January $6,135.60
– February $20,097.31
– March $9,674.76
– April $10,931.52
– TOTAL: $46,840.13
Now get this … sources from Vivid Entertainment tell us the tape has grossed $50 MILLION!
Remember, we’re told Kim gets AT LEAST as much as Ray J, though we don’t know exactly how much.
We’ve reached out to Kim to see if she’ll accept Ray’s gift, but so far no word back. We’re told … if she doesn’t want it he’ll donate the money to her favorite charity.
Ray J — yes, that’s his wallet AND he’s happy to see you.

Atlanta Falcons Star Roddy White’s Brother Shot And Killed
Tyrone Moore Jr., the half-brother of Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White, was shot and killed outside a nightclub in South Carolina early Saturday morning. Moore was 21 years old.
radaronline
Jay Adams of AtlantaFalcons.com provides Falcons owner Arthur Blank’s statement on the matter:
We were all saddened to learn about the death of Roddy’s brother Tyrone. Roddy is part of our Falcons family, and families stand together in difficult circumstances. Roddy and his family can count on our support through this very trying time. On behalf of the entire Falcons organization, we extend our deepest sympathies and prayers to Roddy, his mother Joenethia, and their entire family.
According to Charleston County Sheriff’s Maj. Eric Watson, via The Post and Courier’s David MacDougall, authorities reported to the Lake House Club on James Island at 2:51 a.m. Saturday after several gunshots were fired. Moore was taken to Medical University Hospital with a wound, but he was later pronounced dead.
MacDougall’s report notes that no arrests have yet been made.
According to MacDougall, the two brothers were raised together by their mother on James Island, where White was born, and Moore then lived with the Falcons star in Atlanta for “several years” while attending high school.
White is set to enter his 10th season in the NFL. After playing his entire NFL career with the Falcons, he’s become a staple of the organization. The tragic news has obviously shaken an Atlanta Falcons organization in which White has been such a huge part of over the past decade.

50 Cent's Son Graduates High School, 50 Cent Was A No Show
Graduation season is upon us & for high school seniors it signifies a right of passage as they close one chapter to embark on the next phase of their lives. This fact is no different for the children of celeb's, including 50 Cent's son Marquies Jackson. Its just too bad this major life event wasn't important enough for Fiddy to make an appearence on the biggest day of his sons young life.
balleralert
Yesterday (May 17) was a very important day for 50 Cent's son, Marquise Jackson. It was the day that Marquise graduated from high school. Unfortunately, his father wasn't there. Something Marquise says he understands all too well. Captioning a photo of him crying into his sister's arms at his graduation, Marquise writes, "Yea I broke down. I was really excited to see my pops at my graduation today but he never showed up. My sister and mama is always there for me. Just know that you wasn't. I did it without you!
You only graduate high school once. It's kind of disappointing that 50 couldn't be there for his son, regardless of the personal issues they've been having.
According to Marquise's sister, the Facebook page that posted this photo is not Marquise's real page. Although the page appears to have over 5,000 friends and 200k followers, some including friends that know Marquise personally and attended his graduation. His sister, Mia, provided his Twitter and Instagram and says they've been trying to get the fake page shut down.
"The page has been there for years. We tried to get it deleted. Whoever runs that page has a lot of time on his hands because they create pages of our mother and I and have them correspond with one another as if it's us, but it's not."
So from the photos, 50 Cent did not appear to be at his son's graduation but according to Marquise's sister, Marquise did not make those comments.

NFL: Greg Hardy Ordered to Hand Over 9 Guns Including Military Type Semi-Automatic Rifles
The domestic altercation with Carolina Panthers Greg Hardy and his girlfriend Nicole Holder continues to get more bizarre. Hardy was arrested after allegedly assaulting and threatening Holder. She claims Hardy was upset because of her short relationship with rapper Nelly while the two were separated. Hardy was soon released but was ordered to hand over his massive gun collection.
ifwt
As part of the agreement that allowed Hardy to be freed from jail, Mecklenburg District Court Judge Becky Thorne Tin ordered the All-Pro lineman Thursday to turn over any weapons he owns or has access to.
A Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman said a representative of Hardy handed over the firearms Friday morning, including at least six military-type, semi-automatic rifles and three 12-gauge shotguns. The transfer took place at a Sheriff’s Office building on North Tryon Street.
According to Holder, Hardy has between 25-30 firearms between his two Charlotte residences. Under North Carolina law, Hardy did not need a permit for these types of guns nor is there a limit on how many he can own.

NBA: Blake Griffin Unsure If He’ll Play For The Clippers If Sterling Still Owns Team Next Year
Donald Sterling plans to fight the NBA’s attempt to remove him as owner of the Clippers. Between the legal battles and the time it takes to approve the sale of the team, this process could take quite some time. That means the players will have a decision to make about what they will do if Sterling is still the owner when next season rolls around. Clippers star Blake Griffin concedes that he is uncertain what he will do.
espn
“I don’t anticipate that being how it’s going to be,” Griffin said when asked whether he could continue to play for the team if Sterling were owner at the start of next season. “If it still is, I’ll make a decision then. It’s not something that’s ideal. Personally, I don’t know all the ins and outs of everything. I hear stuff just like everybody else does, but I don’t know what’s really true or not. It’s up to [the league], but I don’t think that’s an ideal situation for us, to start next season with that still going on.”
“Personally, I think the longer it lasts, the worse it’s going to be,” Griffin said. “I think something should happen and I think it should happen quickly. I think guys need to make decisions. I don’t think anybody wants this to drag out except for one or two people. I think it needs to be swift.
“We need to make our decision or they need to make their decision or whatever it is and make a change. But, at the same time, we have to be patient. There is a due process that has to happen and I understand that, but I don’t want to keep answering questions about it.”

Congrats? Are LeBron James & Wife Expecting Third Child?
The speculation continues and the rumors persist. It’s highly likely that LeBron James and his wife, Savannah, are expecting their third child.
Earlier this year, we began stalking the fertility Gods, when Savannah attended All Star Weekend, with what appeared to be a bump of sorts. Specifically, the Miami Heat superstar hosted a GQ party, where his wife rocked a long, fitted dress. At the time, we couldn’t tell if it was a simple bad angle or if she was expecting.
Over the weekend, Page Six reported that Savannah had been spotted sporting a baby bump in recent weeks. And notes of congratulation popped up on her Facebook page Tuesday after she cryptically posted,
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
A Miami Heat rep insists that Savannah is ‘not pregnant‘. The James camp has yet to address the rumors themselves. Savannah has refrained from taking photos on the rare red carpets that she has attended, nor has she shared Instagram photos of herself.
Lebron proposed to Savannah, his high school sweetheart, on December 31, 2011 at a party celebrating New Year’s Eve and his 27th birthday. The two were married last year. Together they have two sons, LeBron James, Jr. (9) and Bryce Maximus James (6).

Twitter Reacts To Beyonce, Jay Z Elevator Beat Down Statement (Tweets)
A few days ago, the Carter family released a statement in regards to the now infamous footage of Solange attacking Jay Z in an elevator as an onlooking Beyoncé stood by. That was enough time for the public to formulate opinions on their word via the preferred social media vessel, Twitter.
Reactions ranged from applauds to discontent to comedic outburst, but what else do you expect? This is the Internets that we’re talking about. While the Carters were pretty straight forward in their wording, we assume that detractors are still seeking a scoop that they’ll never get.
Breaking: World Star Hip Hop Teaming Up With Adult Swim And Heading To Television
Earlier this month, it was reported that the popular and controversial hip hop site World Star Hip Hop (WSHH) has partnered with Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. Adult Swim’s programming is geared toward a more mature audience, and with the success of the Boondocks animated series and Tyler The Creator’s variety show, Loiter Squad, a WSHH project would be a natural fit.
bossip
Details are still scarce, but theGrio.com caught up with John Holland, a writer for the upcoming WSHH TV venture to get more scoop. Holland gave us a better idea of what fans can expect from the pilot.
TG: How much input did Q, CEO of WSSH, have in the creation?
First off, let me say that Q is a really cool dude. Like, my first thought was he’s going to be some Suge Knight kinda guy that was obsessed with street fights and what not, but he’s a really friendly, tech-savvy guy. After the last day, he asked if he could take a picture with us? Us? You? Man we should be asking you for that (and he even sought out and tagged us on Instagram). He pretty much had access to anyone we could imagine.
It was just a matter of convincing people that we’re not making fun of them but having fun WITH them.
TG: Adult Swim in the past has been known to push the envelope, but most would consider World Star Hip Hop to be a pretty extreme. How will WSHH fit within on a TV platform?
Adult Swim is always about being different. If you really look at their shows, they’re not comparable to any other show on any other network. We’re definitely going to push the show to its limit, but with the room of writers we had, it’s not just going to be trashy, lowbrow comedy (maybe a stripper or ten).
It’s really some good writing with awesome stories and twists no one will see coming, while keeping it gritty and raw. I think those combinations make it fit well within Adult Swim.
TG: How does a brand that began as “ratchet” transition into the mainstream?
Honestly, we’ll find out with the show. Honestly, with WSHH already having such a strong brand, anyone willing to do anything with them must know what comes with the territory. Of course, it’s not total anarchy.
We still have network guidelines and Standards and Practices to obey, but you don’t approach WSHH unless you want a little ratchet in your life.

NFL Baller Charged With Assaulting Girlfriend Over Alleged Relationship With Nelly
Veteran St. Louis rapper Nelly is reportedly caught in the midst of yet ANOTHER messy love triangle after North Carolina Panthers baller Greg Hardy was popped on assault charges following an argument that his girlfriend says was about her past “relationship” with Nelly.
CBSSports
Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy was arrested Tuesday morning on charges of assault on a female and communicating threats after an incident with his girlfriend, identified as 24-year-old Nicole Holder, who alleges that Hardy threw her on a couch covered with firearms.
According to the Observer, Holder’s protective-order complaint states “that Hardy was angry with her because of a short-lived relationship with the rapper Nelly, who is a part-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. She stated in the court documents that she and Hardy had been trying to work things out and that she and Hardy were in bed together early Tuesday morning when Hardy ‘just snapped.’”
According to the judge, both Hardy and Holder were intoxicated at the time of the incident. Hardy’s attorney, Chris Fialko, maintains that his client is innocent and that Holder is responsible for the disturbance after she attacked Hardy and his friend, Sammy Curtis.
A 911 called obtained Wednesday by CBSSports.com has Hardy telling the operator that Holder was trying to hit him with her shoe and that she hit him in the face twice. But a second 911 call made from Hardy’s downstairs neighbor claimed that the Panthers’ defensive end was “beating (Holder’s) a**.”
The Panthers, who are set to pay Hardy $13.1 million next season, met with the defensive end and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, Wednesday to discuss his arrest, the Observer reports.

LeBron Denies Saying He’s Boycotting Next Season If Donald Sterling Remains Clippers’ Owner
Well, that public display of capitalistic defiance for social change sure ended quickly. A day after footage surfaced of the Vice President of the Players Association claiming Lebron James would boycott next season if Donald Sterling remained an NBA owner, Lebron James himself denies the reports.
allhiphop
(May 14th), before Lebron James and the Miami Heat eliminated the Brooklyn Nets from the NBA Playoffs, James spoke with ESPN about the statements made by NBA players union vice president Roger Mason Jr. on Jim Rome on Showtime:
“Roger comes in here, we speak about issues. I believe that issue came up but, as a team, we never discussed it. Roger is a great guy and I don’t have a problem with him at all.”
Roger Mason Jr addressed his comments on his personal Twitter account, admitting to being unclear on the boycott news:
My bad if I was not clear.LBJ never said anything about boycotting.He's a friend and I would never want to imply something he didn't say

It should come as no surprise that August Alsina is not the biggest Trey Songz fan. But Trigga isn’t fazed. In an interview with Capital Xtra, Trey says he empathizes with August’s frustration and even considers him to be little brother. Maybe two talented brothers can co-exist after all.
Jay Z & Solange Reconcile
As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it. Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.
The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. At the end of the day families have problems and we’re no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.
Now that’s cleared up, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
