Donald Trump Tweets Crazy Over Obama Victory & Feuds with Brian Williams
Trump was crazy pissed last night. The Don was angry and he didn’t care who knew it. Honestly he is really doing himself and injustice these days. It’s actually getting way past the point of embarrassing.
If you look at Trumps twitter tirade as it unfolds below, you see that he is a political contradiction. He calls the reelection of Obama a “great and disgusting injustice”, and then rants on how we are “a great nation divided”.
Trump, how about increasing unity by supporting a

Mobb Deep is Officially Over. Havoc Admits the Tweets About Prodigy were Really him!!
In a shocking clip by allhiphop.com, Havoc admits that the tweets that were sent out earlier this year about Prodigy were indeed him. Originally he claimed that he lost his phone
“Just getting back into NY after my Easter weekend with family and friends in Jersey. I left my phone at a gas station yesterday evening while on my way to Jersey after a glorious Knick’s game. To all Mobb Deep fans: it’s business as usual! It’s Mobb Deep all day!!! My twitter account @THEREALHAVOC will be down until further notice. The only other real account is @PRODIGYMOBBDEEP. Ignore the rest. One!”
That was suspect because the tweets said they were sent via “web” not via phone. There were other fishy circumstances that all pointed to Havoc but he stuck to his story and the drama faded. Now he is coming forward and admitting that it was him and he denied it before because beef shouldn’t be aired out on twitter. He made the tweets strictly out of anger.
IS MOBB DEEP OFFICIALLY BROKEN UP?
Havoc says yes. They are on hiatus,
Right now , you know, Mobb Deep is on hiatus. Indefinitely until things get hashed out.
Here is the clip from Allhiphop.com This truly is the end of an era!
Frank Ocean’s Manager Apologizes After Target Explains Why His Album Will Not Be On Store Shelves
The streets were a buzz all day long after Frank Ocean’s manager put up some incriminating tweets yesterday, implying that Target would not be carrying Frank Ocean’s album due to the fact that he recently “came out”. Christian Clancy tweeted yesterday,
“Target has refused to carry Frank’s album because of iTunes exclusive,
Interesting since they also donate to non-equal rights organizations.”
The tweets were soon deleted.
After about half a day or so, with no response from Target, they finally issued a statement to set the record straight,
“The claims made about Target’s decision to not carry the Frank Ocean album are absolutely false. Target supports inclusivity and diversity in every aspect of our business. Our assortment decisions are based on a number of factors, including guest demand.”
The demand that they are referring to is the fact that Ocean’s management decided to sell his album “Channel Orange” digitally on iTunes before its scheduled release date. This would dilute the demand so when the album appeared on stores shelves a week later, the sale velocity would be much slower. Store placement is a huge deal in retail. Frank Ocean’s album was probably set for prime placement including some end caps. Target could probably use the space for something else that would sell faster…probably….
THE REAL TRUTH
I still think that there is still more to it. If Target wanted to carry another CD they could carry it without giving it primary spacing. By them not carrying it at all, they are making a statement and most likely it’s a statement to Frank Ocean’s label and management team that a shady pre-release i-Tunes deal is not the way they do business.
Christian Clancy issued a Twology to Target,
“I apologize for my comments about Target. They are not carrying Frank’s album because it went digital first. Not for ANY other reason. … My response was simply an emotional knee jerk reaction. … Stop. Breath. Do the best you can. Be honest. Keep it moving.”
That’s good advice. As a manager and a businessman he should know better. That tweet was reckless and could have possibly cost his client millions in sales just as the iTunes deal probably did.
Luckily Ocean debuted to strong sales and is on track to hit number 2 on the Billboard Chart this week, despite the efforts of his camp.

Holly Robinson Peete Goes at 50 Cent for Tweets he Made Regarding Autistic Kids – She should Be Careful
Holly has been a renegade for all things autism but she is picking a fight with a man that has ended many a career. Not to mention, he already kinda apologized.
WHAT DID 50 TWEET?
To defend 50, his tweet was in response to a fan saying that he would “shoot” fif if he didn’t release his album.
@50cent Release the album or get shot again.’
So 50 retweeted
‘yeah just saw your picture fool you look autistic
Then 50 tweeted,
:’i dont want no special ed kids on my time line follow some body else.’
@Yung_raditz tweet cent 50 fans going at him hard. He spent the next 10 hours defending himself and saying that he really is a 50 fan. Here are just 3 of the 15 or 20 responses that yung_raditz tweeted in his defense.
- yea twitter is just entertainment
- People have said worst to @50cent its just a joke he got over it and ya’ll groupies need to also.
- Thanks for the promo @50cent I’m still gonna buy the album

FIF – ACTUALLY APOLOGIZES
Fif, not to be a p**sy but he realized the impact that he might have had so he laughed it off, but there was truth in his gest,
‘just kidding about da special ed kids man, i was in special ed day said i had anger issues lol’.
HOLLY ROBINSON GETS IN ON IT, FIRE SHOTS OF HER OWN
In an open letter that she posted with Austism File magazine she states,
‘When I read (the tweet) it my heart sank. I thought maybe your account had been hacked. No such luck.’
‘You went on to joke about not wanting “special ed kids” on your timeline. Seriously, THIS is how you use your platform of 8 million plus followers??’
‘I’ve met you in passing over the years and I know you are a bright, astute businessman and legitimate philanthropist so it is with a bit of sincere confusion that I ask you… Do you even know what autism is?’
’1 in 88 have it. That’s 1 in 54 boys. Families suffer a social stigma you will never know. It is a financial and emotional drain…
‘I hope you can see how what you might see as a benign insult-or not- was so randomly hurtful, immature and misinformed. Maybe you are naive or indifferent as to how many of your fans might be deeply and personally offended by your insult. At the very least-can you please delete it?’
‘Finally, this is my son Rodney Peete. He has autism. So I guess this is what autistic looks like? He is in special ed. He loves rap music and is a HUGE fan of yours. He’s a tremendous kid.
‘He has to deal with so much trying to fit in. This isn’t helping.’
Another mother tries to join in tweeting a picture of her son, trying to prove that maybe Autism doesn’t have a look.
‘@50cent This is what Autism looks like in my son Torren’.
Fif then replied – what again is sort of an apology, or at least an acknowledgement that Fif does understand the severity of the Autistic condition and would not seriously poke fun at it,
‘I would @Danicakes23 never talk about kids condition. People say all kinds of crazy things to me on twitter.’
Holly would have been much better off asking nicely then attacking him. As I post this the comment still remains. In fact, Holly has brought more attention to the tweet then if she would have left it alone and let it move naturally off the page. 50 tweets often and it would have been gone in just half a day.
You can attack fif all you want verbally, the man has been shot 9 times. He’s been attacked by bigger talents over more severe issues…and he has been known to end careers. The best thing that Holly can hope for is that she didn’t awake the giant, and if she did that he’s in a good move.
I bet Fif has done more in philanthropically in the past year then the starting squad on the Knicks. Obviously it is not enough because the media, fans, and society are insatiable vultures and will zero in on the one anything they can to attack, even if it’s as small as a tweet.

Amar’e Stoudemire’s Derogatory Tweet is Under Investigation by the NBA
A fan named Brian Ferrelle caught Amar’e Stoudemire off guard. He sent Stoudemire a direct tweet basically talking smack to the All Star NBA player. Ferrelli sent him a direct message that said,
““You better come back a lot stronger and quicker to make up for this past season mannnnnn deadasss!!!”
So if I’m Amar’e I’m thinking, “F**k You. I don’t have to do s**t”
If Stoudemire tweeted that back, it might have not been as bad as what he actually tweeted.
F— you. I don’t have to do anything f**.’
Amarie must have gotten wind and tried to do some damage control. He quickly tweeted an apology,
“I apologize for what I said earlier. I just got off a plane and had time to think about it. Sorry bro!! No Excuses. Won’t happen again,”
This is the perfect apology. No lame excuses – straight to the point. Will it get him off the hook? Maybe. The NBA is looking into the issue which shouldn’t take long. Amar’e’s rep basically deferred the media to his apology tweet also confirming that the incident did happen and that the tweets were indeed authentic. Last year Kobe got fined by the NBA $100,000 for calling a ref the same thing.
Ferrelli has proven himself to be a good dude, just a passionate fan. He didn’t want to make this issue bigger than it already turned out. In fact he declined to comment any further on the matter and when the news contacted him for a statement he refused and replied simply with a tweet
“I don’t want to make this situation any bigger than it already is. He apologized and I accepted it,”
I’m sure Amar’e will honestly appreciate that. I see this whole incident outside of Amar’e’s character in a stretch that has the superstar in a slump. After injuring his back in a warm up dunk last year that sidelined him for 6 months and then punching a fire extinguisher after a Knicks playoff loss to The Heat, hopefully this is the end of the negative and Amar’e can start to shine again.

Jay Z Allegedly Threatens to drop Rihanna from Label if She Doesn’t Go To Rehab.
For some reason this story isn’t getting nearly the attention that I thought would. My email was blown up as it does when anything Rihanna related goes down.
Apparently Jay-Z has had enough. The straw that broke the camels back (no pun intended – Jay-Z’s likeness to Joe Camel was noted in a rap diss record) was when Rihanna missed a flight back from London.
I’m sure Jay-Z keeps up with the news just like the rest of us, and all the stories and tweets of Rihanna’ with the IV drip, being hospitalized for exhaustion, making it rain on strippers and all the antics of Ratchet Riri have come Jay’s way one way or another.
Closer Magazine was the first to report Jay’s unhappiness stating,
Rihanna has been out of control for months. She was supposed to catch a flight back to the UK last week, but she ended up missing it, which was the final straw for management,”
“Jay-Z hit the roof when he found out, and told Rihanna, ‘Go to rehab now or I’ll drop you from the label.’ She’s not happy, but she now feels she has no choice.”
“She’s reached breaking point. Ri says she’s physically and mentally exhausted and feeling lost. I think she desperately needs help and some time off – not just from work but from all the other stresses in her life too,”
DID JAY REALLY SAY THAT?
When she missed her flight out of London Jay-Z pardoned her and let her have a day off, Rihanna tweeted at that time,
“So ummm…. I’m supposed to be on a plane rt now! #r,”
“JayZ saved me!!!!! I got an extra day off sorry @HiHatprod,”
There was no mention of Rehab or label dropping.
Despite several credible news stories reporting out on this story, including yahoo news, There has been no official statements made by Jay-Z and Rihanna’s twitter doesn’t mention it yet or the story. My only skepticism comes purely in the form of cash. Rihanna is huge right now and is a cash cow. Threatening her would only push her to leave the label and that surely is not what Jay wants. How big is Riri?
She is the 2nd artist to cros 2.5 billion views on Vevo,
Rihanna has more fans online than any other artist. 57.1 million on Facebook and 20.2 million on Twitter = 77.3 million!
All of that equals cold hard cash. Not sure if any record company would be so eager to give that up. Now we wait and see if Riri responds to these claims.
