LIL WAYNE DROPS "SORRY 4 THE WAIT 2"

Lil Wayne just surprised his fans by dropping "Sorry 4 The Wait 2" The original cover has been scrapped, instead we see Wayne's arm with handcuffs around his rest. Could this be symbolism to how he feels in his current deal with YMCMB? Or could the "beef" all be a marketing tacit to promote album sales? Either way "Sorry 4 The Wait 2" is FIREEE!

AMBER ROSE BREAKS THE INTERNET, AND ADMITS HER FAMILY IS RACIST

Amber Rose has been all over the news the past few days. First for talking about her family not approving of Wiz, or Kayne, or French Montana...etc. Then Ms Rose took to Instagram to "Break The Internet" with some classic Amber Rose pics.

Amber Rose was recently interviewed by OWN for their upcoming TV special "Light Girls". In the interview she said her family didn't attend her and Khalifa's 2013 wedding due to his skin color. “With my family," she said, "they feel like they’re more superior, or better than an African American, because we’re Creole and we have culture." As she's had several high-profile relationships with African American men, Rose has clearly had to deal with this prejudice for a while, but this is the first time she's spoken publicly about it.

"I'm angry that my family is like that and they wanna 'pass' so bad that they raised my mom and my uncles and my aunts to not fully know their culture," she continued, adding, "I feel like that's why my father is white."

Then over the weekend Rose took to Instagram and posted some pics to show Wiz what he's missing out on. Wiz responded by taking to Twitter and saying "Yes, my baby's mother is fine as fuck."

AUGUST ALSINA STARTS FIGHT AT ANTI-VIOLENCE CONCERT

By now we all know August Alsina has problems keeping his cool, and this past weekend while performing in St. Louis, August got into a bit of a scuffle backstage with the show promoters.

Unfortunately, the fight went down at an event that was promoting non-violence--  proceeds from the show went towards the 'Put down the Pistol' program. The show was called 'State Of Emergency 2' and went down at the Chaifetz Arena on Saturday night.

A fight broke out between the show's promoter Loose Cannon Slim and Alsina, reportedly because Slim was upset that Alsina showed up late. What started off as an exchange of words soon became an exchange of fists.

There's some video footage of went down below. Fabolous was also in attendance, but he stayed clear of fighting.

FUNKMASTER FLEX vs JAY Z

If you weren't sure how Funkmaster Flex feels about Jay Z he made it pretty clear.
The Hot 97 radio DJ went on a rant against Jay Z, more specifically, his "Life + Times" website, while doing his nightly thing on Hot 97 last night. This morning he's made the rant available to stream via his SoundCloud.

In leading up to what sparked this rant, Flex details that a couple of years ago he was interviewed about his DJ Funk Flex app by Life + Times, and while they asked several questions about the creation of the app, these questions didn't end up in the final interview, instead, they used that information to create their own app (according to Flex). He took this in stride.

Fast forward to present day, Funk gets an e-mail from L+T to do an interview about his involvement in the upcoming Dipset mixtape. He replies, "you KNOW my involvement." He added, "I don't understand how someone from that site can ask me my involvement in the Dipset reunion, but when I used to go out to the 40/40 I was told not to play any Dipset records. I'm so confused."

He also says, "The site is trash, a bunch of dumb big pictures and no numbers. Y'all can't move with me in this digital space." And later, "You wanna know how we movin', and what's the next move, I know it, I'm not stupid. Y'all played me with the app already and I figured that out. But I let y'all slide and you took what I said for 'I'm soft', that's why I'm dealing with you today."

But it doesn't end here.

Taking to Instagram last night, Funk didn't decide to let up his frustrations with Jay and his website. Flex posted a picture of a text HOVA allegedly sent him and threatened more on-air accusations via his radio show. The text read "This is HOV."

"Really? After calling private for hours you texting with CAPITAL letters????? This guy thinks it 1997 ????" Flex relayed in the post's caption. "Tomorrow 7pm I got this???? I see you need a tune up and lesson in respect!!!!!"

Listen to the full rant below. It starts at 10:27.

JUDGE REVOKES CHRIS BROWN'S PROBATION

In a ruling on the Rihanna assault case, Chris Brown has his probation revoked due to crossing
county lines.

Fans who were hoping Chris Brown's year would be better than his 2014, 2013, or even 2009, can put those dreams to rest. Last week after performing in a San Jose nightclub which ended in a shoot-out, a judge revoked his probation for crossing county lines without approval and failing to complete his 1,00 hours of community service on time.

For now Breezy will walk free, but a March 20th probation hearing may change that. Luckily for Brown, this will not effect his upcoming tour with Trey Songz and Tyga. Although the judge could find no indication that Brown was involved in the recent shooting, he also instructed probation officers to investigate that further.

Stay tuned as the story continues to progress.

LIL WAYNE DISSES CASH MONEY RECORDS

As you may know by now, Lil Wayne wants off Cash Money Records. Wayne has been signed since 1997, originally a member of the group Hot Boyz. Since then Wayne's career has taken off, and he is now the best selling artist on the label. But things haven't been looking so good for him since late 2014. After tweeting that he wants out of his deal and making claims that Baby won't release his album, he has since announced the release of another "Sorry For The Wait" mixtape.

On January 13th, 2015, Wayne released a track off "SFTW2", a remix of Future's hit song "SH!T". On the remix Tunechi raps, ""Did my time at Cash Money / Time served and release / But this agent ain't free, word / That's just word on these streets / But that shit is old news, that shit yester-week /I'm just focused, focused on my expertise."

While Wayne's new lyrics aren't exactly taking shots at anyone, they do serve as evidence his contract situation is still on his mind.

Check out his "SH!T" remix below.
