MOBB DEEP FINALLY BREAK SILENCE ON FEUD, REVEAL TRUTH BEHIND THEIR BEEF


New York rap duo Prodigy and Havoc have finally stepped forward to address their publicized public falling out last year and explained why they are back, better than ever.
Rather than cop a plea, Havoc took full responsibility for going at Prodigy last spring over Twitter.
"The tweets definitely happened and I take my part in that," Hav told us, with Prodigy seated beside him to his left. "When family goes through things it's like, they shouldn't be handled in the streets. I definitely take responsibility for that." (MTV)
Prodigy cited their survival through pre-fame struggles for keeping them together through thick and thin.
"Me and Hav got a different type of relationship man. We been through a lot of stuff growing up, just personal stuff," Prodigy said. "When you dealing with somebody for that long every day, you're gonna have your little squabbles or whatever, it's nothing. The bottom line is we're smarter than all the BS, we're smarter than. Way smarter than that. Trust me, we're still here for a reason, we ain't stupid." (MTV)
Earlier this year, P refused to lay out Mobb Deep's deathbed despite their publicized feud.
"Nah, nah, it's just on standby," Capital P said when asked if it is time to retire the Mobb Deep brand. "Yeah, I'm sure about that. I love Mobb Deep. Mobb Deep made my life what it is. Havoc feels the same way, so we'll be right back to work. For right now, he's doing his thing and I'm doing my thing. I've got goals I'm trying to accomplish, and I really can't let nothing sidestep me or get in the way of that. If that means I gotta put Mobb Deep on standby for the time being, then so be it. That's what has to happen." ("Usual Suspects Radio")
In October, Capital P denied Hav's claim of possibly having affection toward men and spoke on the dispute.
"Nah, you know Hav don't deserve that," Prodigy said in an interview when asked if Havoc deserves to get shot. "[Have I ever participated in any homosexual activity?] H*ll f*cking no! H*ll no. I'ma tell you like this, the only thing I can really say is, you know what I mean, what I've been doing since I came home [in spring 2011], putting books out, putting out albums, mixtapes, you know, I started my own lable, I got a distribution deal, running around, setting up these tours, getting merchandising deals, getting endorsement deals, that's all I really know, dog. [Have I asked him about the disses?] Nah. I just want to work, man -- shout-out ot Havoc too, shout-out ot Hav. Word. That's my dog. [Anything else I want to tell people?] I don't have anything against gay people, dog. I've got some family members that are gay, I know some people that are gay, I got a couple of gay friends."

LIL WAYNE ADDRESSES SEIZURE IN NEW FOOTAGE: "I FELT THAT LOVE LAID UP IN THAT MOTHERF*CKING HOSPITAL BED" [VIDEO]


Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne has released a short video dedicated to fans, going over his hospitalization last week after suffering a hard-hitting seizure.
In the footage, Weezy F. Baby thanks his supporters for standing behind him and sending him positive energy during the hospital scare.
"5, 4, 3, 2, what's poppin' y'all? Tunechi's in this b*tch," Wayne said in a video directed by DJ Scoob Doo and dated March 20th. "I just want to say thank-you to all y'all for your prayers and your concerns and all that. I swear to God I felt that love when I was laid up in that motherf*cking hospital bed. But I want all y'all to know that I'm good, a n*gga more than good. Also, my bum a** album's still coming out March 26th, it's the 26th? March 26th. IAm Not A Human Being II -- I'm still going on tour, America's Most Wanted Tour, with some of my closest friends in the game, speaking of my closest friends in the game, I got my n*gga right here to elaborate on that subject." (TMZ)
Grand Hustle head T.I. also appeared in the video to confirm their plans for an upcoming summer tour.
"What's happening, homie," Tip asked Weezy. "You good, I'm good, we good, it's all good. Ain't nothing too it. Eh man, Hustle Gang, Young Money, partner. I hope you n*ggas brung money because it's going down, holmes. July 5th." (TMZ)
This week, Tip explained why he went into a rant against gossip-driven website TMZ last week after it initially suggested Wayne was on his deathbed.
"I was with him last night," T.I. tells "omg! Insider's" Nina Parker. "He is doing fine. We were actually watching the game and he's hoping the Lakers go to the finals. Listen man, I'm all about doing what's right, and I don't have any personal beefs or conflicts with anyone. I'm just about doing what's right and when you put things out of such a graphic nature that are inaccurate, I think you then put children, mothers, families through unnecessary grief." (OMG Yahoo)
A few nights ago, Wayne updated fans on his condition via Twitter.
"Watching Highly Questionable on ESPN2 & Papi got me kry'n laughing in dis b!t[#," Wayne tweeted March 19th.
"I'm feeling a lot better and again thk u all for ur love and prayers. It was truly felt...pause" (Lil Wayne's Twitter)

HOLLYWOOD HOTTIE SPREADS IT, BEGS DRAKE FOR SEX


Hollywood actress Amanda Bynes has taken her admiration for Young Money's Drake up a notch by publicly reaching out to the rap star with an explicit tweet.
In her newest Drizzy-targeted tweet, Bynes makes it known she wants to do more than just hug him.
"I want @drake to murder my vagina," Bynes tweeted March 22nd.

Just last week, Amanda dished out her desire for the Toronto, Canada native.
Amanda Bynes has her eyes on Drake! The 26-year-old actress, who was spotted out and about in NYC yesterday for the first time in months, took to Twitter today to share her crush on the 26-year-old rapper. "@drake is a hot fellow :D," Bynes posted along with a photo of Drake and friends. The newly curly-haired star also shared a funny photo in which Drake's face is swapped with Nicki Minaj with the caption, "He's the woman bwahahah @drake." Drake has yet to respond to Bynes' tweets of admiration. (E! Online)
Bynes and Drizzy had romance rumors attached to one another back in 2010.
Drake hasn't replied to her Tweets so far, but this isn't the first time they've been linked. People speculated that he was the rapper she was Tweeting about back in 2010, but Amanda denied they were dating at that time and said they'd never even met. Do you think Amanda and Drake would make a cute couple? (Cambio)
According to reports, the 26-year-old actress has had some run-ins with law enforcement over the past 12 months.
Let that soak in. Amanda has been exhibiting strange behavior since last year when she was charged in a couple of hit-and-run accidents, had her driver's license suspended, and fled Hollywood for NYC. Drake has yet to respond to Amanda's offer, but he's not the violent type. Unless you're Chris Brown. (TMZ)

SETH ROGEN TO DIRECT AND STAR IN 'THE INTERVIEW'


Seth Rogen is a pretty big deal. While his directorial debut "This Is the End (which he also stars in) isn't set to hit theaters until June, the star has already been signed on by Columbia Pictures to direct and produce yet another film. The forthcoming project, "The Interview," will be another collaboration between Rogen and screenwriter Evan Goldberg. Rogen will also star in the film, while Goldberg has signed on to co-direct and co-produce.
The Interview will reportedly be the story of a television host and his producer who get in too deep with a plot to assassinate the prime minister of North Korea. Actor James Franco -- who starred alongside Rogen in "Pineapple Express" -- is being considered for the role of the host, while Rogen is set to play the producer. The script's plot is an adaptation of a story originally written by Rogen, Goldberg, and television producer Dan Sterling.
The movie hits theaters June 14.

DIPSET'S 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY REUNION'S GOING DOWN


With buzz about a Diplomats New York reunion concert going down next week, SOHH reached out to the Big Apple's iconic B.B. King Blues Club to scoop up some exclusive details on what fans can expect.
The renowned venue's marketing director, Drew Granchelli, said fans should expect nothing but high-energy excitement courtesy of Hot 97's Funkmaster Flex spinning at next week's anniversary party.
"Leave it to Funkmaster Flex to bring Dipset's 10 year anniversary party to the heart of Times Square. Funk Flex and Harlem's own Dipset have defined the New York hip-hop sound and scene for even longer than the 10 year anniversary party would suggest. B.B. King's has been the home of great hip-hop and rap nights since we opened the doors, and this night should be no different," Granchelli told SOHH. "When Funkmaster Flex and Dipset get together for a 10 year anniversary party, one thing is for sure: with all the history there, it's going to be a true 'night out in New York'." (SOHH)
If all goes accordingly, Dipset and Funk Flex will take center stageMonday (March 25) night.
The Diplomats teamed up with InFlexWeTrust.com for the 10-year anniversary show, which will take place at the world famous B.B. King Blues Club in New York City. Dipset fans should try to make it out to this one if possible, because although Juelz Santana has been teasing the idea of the crew getting back together, this show is one night only and, as of right now, is the only thing on the books. (BET)
Earlier this month, Dipset's Juelz Santana updated fans on a full-length Diplomats album.
"We definitely going to get back in the studio and start working on some music and if the vibe is good and the music is coming out the way it's supposed to come out. We going to put that record out." (HHS1987)
A few days prior, Dipset's Jim Jones spoke on the much anticipated reunion.
"It's nothing really holding it up," Jimmy said in an interview when asked about the Dipset reunion. "It's just an organic thing, it's a band of brothers that started this game from teenagers, made a h*ll of a lot of money, probably more money than most of the industry had ever seen, um, you know, we all was feeling ourselves, little discrepancies, got back together, loving the fact that we could get back together on our own regard because everybody is their own boss, it's still Dipset for life, all of us have been recording. This month marks the ten-year anniversary of Diplomatic Immunity 1, the first album we did together. So yes, there will be a lot of surprises this year. We plan to attack a lot of Summer Jam stages, we plan to attack a lot of venues, um, we good. You're gonna love it, I promise you. And we have some music, that's the scary thing. ... I can say now we have some music that's going to bust some people's heads open." ("Jenny Boom Boom TV")
