Kreayshawn Says Rick Ross Beef Is Over!

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 04:31 AM PDT

Kreayshawn claims that her beef with Rick Ross is over despite him threatening to beat her up a few days ago.

The 'Gucci Gucci' rapper has had a vendetta against The Bawse for no apparent reason, however she now says that the feud is settled. In an interview with Urbanworld TV, Kreayshawn said: "No, I bought DJ Khaled a couple steaks and we worked everything out. As far as that, nothing's popping off."

While many have taken offence to some of 'Shawn's comments, she insists that people take what she says the wrong way when she is in actual fact joking. "I feel like a comedienne at times, because I'm a funny down to earth person," she justifies.

"So some things that I do and say get read wrong because I'm not some label chick that randomnly made it," she added. 

Do you think Kreayshawn's beef with Rick Ross is over?

Beyonce Previews Tour DVD With Behind-The-Scenes Footage

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 04:04 AM PDT

Beyonce has previewed her tour DVD with behind-the-scenes footage, showing the star during her New York shows.

The 'Single Ladies' singer will be releasing the DVD which was filmed last month during her set of shows at the Roseland Ballroom where she performed songs from her latest album 4. The video clips show Bey rehearsing her set before she hits the stage, working with the technical team to make sure the lighting was fine and talking to her dancers and crew.

While a release date is yet to be confirmed, Bey has provided four clips to entertain her fans. Bey recently announced that she is expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z, so will most likely be putting her music career on the back burner.

Big Sean has revealed his crush on "legendary" Kelly Rowland, saying that she's "fine as hell."

Sean features on Kelly's forthcoming single 'Lay It On Me,' and it seems that he has enjoyed working with her on the set of the music video. "It's always tight being around Kelly Rowland. You can't really complain," he tells Rap-Up.com.

Praising her work ethic, Sean continued: "I really like how she has the energy of a new artist, but she's such a vet in the game. She's so legendary and sold millions of records, but she'll come in the room and greet everybody."

"She has no ego and that's something I really look up to," he gushed.

Interview Time: Natalia Kills Talks About Being Discovered By Will.I.Am, Not Trusting The Music Industry And The Meaning Of New Single 'Free'

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 03:02 AM PDT

Talking exclusively to TaleTela, singer/songwriter Natalia Kills sat down with us to chat about her rapid rise to stardom. The 25-year-old released her debut album Perfectionist in April this year after being signed by rapper Will.i.am in 2008, who came across her Wommanequin EP . Dressed immaculately in a striking black and white outfit, Kills assures us life was not always this way for her and gave us the lowdown on how her dream come true...

Everyone would assume that after Will.i.am discovered you, everything would change overnight… is that true?

Yeah, it did. Absolutely.

What was going through your mind? What was that experience like?

I had been buying clothes for a fiver, crashing parties and sleeping on my friend’s floor and I had made this demo for myself because I had been writing for films at the time and I put it on MySpace which back in 2007 was all the rage…do you remember?

Yeah, now MySpace is like a swear word….

(Laughs) I know! So the famous journalist Perez Hilton found this demo that I had put on MySpace and he blogged about it and someone called me a day later and was like, “why do you have millions of plays on your MySpace page? You’re number one on MySpace Unsigned Chart.” I thought, “wow this is crazy”and people were messaging me saying we’re from this company, we run this concert, we do this festival - would you be interested in playing here? etc, the fee is this, the fee is that…and I was taken aback because that is not exactly what I was trying to do.

OK, so what did you do with all those options?

I decided well what the hell – I sold all of my clothes on eBay and got on a plane to LA because that’s where Perez was. I was offered a lot of different situations, record deals from labels and A&R, producers looking for new talent but I then met Will.i.am and he was saying: “I would love to sign you, you have a really similar energy to Fergie when I first met her.”

Wowza...

I was like , “that’s cool – we’ll see how it goes.” I continued to flirt with other labels and he then came to the UK a month later and he was like ,“so are going to get in the studio or what?” and I honestly resisted.

Didn't you trust him?

Will is a very trustworthy person, but after spending some time in Hollywood I thought getting in the studio meant something else – nothing sexual but just – I was unsure. So Will was like “look, it’s been a week and I have been asking you every day to come to the studio, it’s my last night in town…so just come to the freakin’ studio!” So I brought a few girls with me just in case a bizzaro situation went down – and again I trusted Will but the music industry is pretty tricky - I had met some people in LA who had a kind of weird way of working and so I didn’t feel too comfortable going places on my own because my motivation is not to sleep my way to the top.

OK, so what happened?

I went to the studio and he said “I’ve got this really good idea, come with me to New York and we will make a s**t load of music” and I was like “OK, let’s see how it goes” - it was so quick I didn’t get the time to recognise whether my life was changing or not.

How was Will.i.am different from all the other clowns and recording options that you had encountered before...

I had been in that situation about a month before where I was repeatedly told “we gonna sign you, you’ll make a million dollars in the first year!” I sat there and realised no one is saying the word creative, no one is saying the word music, everyone is saying the words money, number one, chart and radio. Will didn’t approach it like that and so it felt right - that’s how the evolution of me working with Will began. After a bit of time I was getting more comfortable creatively in the studio and professionally in the music that we were making. A contract then appeared which was great and then it was a case of moving to the US and making the album the for real and working with whoever I want.

That's a dream come true really isn't it?

You just don’t notice your life changing whilst it changes, you look back and go – Wow! A year ago I said I would do this, this and this and now I have actually done those things. It’s always in retrospect and I feel like retrospect is one of the most wonderful things…

Talk to us about the song ‘Free’...

I started writing the song years and years ago, when I had decided that I wanted to give up everything and just be a songwriter. I then ended up being a starving songwriter! I used to go to Portobello Road and buy a whole outfit for £30 and people would ask me “Oh my god, who is that? what are you wearing? Is that Karl Lagerfeld, is that Chanel Vintage? ” and I would be like “Yes, of course!” I came to realise that you can never ever make the mistake of linking money to style or money to experience and fun and just having a good time because I had the best time of life when I was broke – I am still having a good time, but it started then and it has continued since I have adopted that attitude.

That's an interesting point of view...

I think that we hold ourselves back; we don’t allow ourselves the freedom of pleasure if we don’t have the finances to support it. There are so many ways to indulge in luxury without it being a material luxury. So I wrote that song to myself and the lyrics are pretty cocky (sings) 'I’m free, I just spent all my money but I rock that like it don’t cost a thing.' I wrote it in a literal sense, I didn’t have anything but I still spent every penny I had and felt great and didn’t feel guilty about it and that’s the notion of the song.

 So why is the album called Perfectionist...?

My album Perfectionist is not about anything being perfect, it's about realising that nothing is perfect and celebrating mistakes and disaster. I have made so many mistakes and been such a general catastrophe upon myself that I thought I would just celebrate all of the bad and not turn it into good.

So you don’t aim for perfection – at all?

(Sighs) Well I am, I am that’s the thing…

Because most musicians are on some level…

Well in my opinion most people are because everyone is looking for their own version of perfection. Like if you want a girlfriend/boyfriend or a job you don’t look for the crappiest person or pay - you actually look for something that is a notion of your own ideology. We are all looking for what we dream of so my album Perfectionist is about confronting that. When you embark on true perfectionism, when you’re really ambitious and go for broke all the time – you realise that nothing is perfect. And then you decide whether that is going to frustrate you or be the power that drives you…and so you then look for perfection in everything and that is what I have decided to do for the rest of my life. So I acknowledge disaster, celebrate it and look for the perfection within that.

I know the record company told you to choose a stage name, so how did you come up with Natalia Kills….?

Yeah they said that my real name was indescribable…I don’t think it is - I don’t see why it is so difficult to say. They asked me to be totally descriptive of myself and my mum has given me nicknames before so...the first time that I gave myself a nickname, a word that really described me was the word Kills because I feel it was the appropriate, apt and most beautiful way to describe myself.

How does the word Kills describe you?

Because I am definitely an intense person and when you’re intense you give 100% of your passion your energy to everything, whether it’s hating someone or loving something. That’s what it means when we say “You Killed It!” it doesn’t mean you’re the greatest it means you gave 100% and that’s that. It’s non-negotiable and undebatable, and I thought with Kills that’s the point. Both unfortunately and fantastically, I am quite an extreme and intense person – it gets a bit tiring at times! I can tolerate myself, I can handle it.

You have put a lot of effort in getting to where you are now, was it always your intention to be creative and famous?

That’s an interesting question, I decided at the rational age of about 6 that I wanted a career. Then I decided at the more rational age of 16 that I didn’t and wanted a lifestyle. You can either be a painter or you can be Banksy – if you want your entire life to revolve around this fortunately and unfortunately, you have to be well known. It’s just the way it is nowadays, we don’t trade off of teacups and charm any more – it’s either your career or it’s a hobby and I don’t like to do things half-heartedly. So I would say even though I have never wanted to be famous that’s never been a goal of mine, the decision to live a creative life has put me in a position to make choices that do pursue the career side of it rather than just the hobby side of it, the pleasure side.

How do obstacles and setbacks affect you? – like rejection, being told no or your music not being received the way that you want it to?

Well if it’s something like an ex-boyfriend you can just tell them to f**k off, but if it is a career thing then yeah it is awful but you have got to live your life entirely for you. I write my songs about myself and about my personal experiences, about all my mistakes and my misfortunes and the celebration of those as well as the sadness and it’s just my way of expressing it - so if someone doesn’t like it, it doesn’t matter because there are bits of my life that I didn’t like but I am putting it out there anyway. I have no expectation or desire for anyone to like everything about me, I am not here to be admired I am here to contribute what I have been given to the world we live in.

Who inspires you to be creative?

I am really inspired by soundtrack music. Because our lives play out like movie, you have the key bits, the side characters, the protagonist and the people that are still there at the end – and that’s usually not many. That’s the way I like to approach my music, a lot of the artists that I listened to growing up were very dramatic and weren’t afraid to express their inner psycho. The first album I bought was Alanis Morrisette – I listened to Depeche Mode and Kate Bush, Prince, Queen and even though it was pop they had a lot of opinion and confrontation and the lyric. Songs like ‘You Oughta Know’ or ‘Sweet Dreams’ by the Eurhythmics are moody and pensive – it’s a very f**k you kinda pop music, and it provokes a deeper thought process than tracks that talk about the club or whatever. There is nothing wrong with that music but it is not what I am drawn to.

Is there a song, or piece of film or lyric that you have put out there that you are most proud of?

Wow that’s hard, it’s hard to single one out in particular but I have this song on my album called 'Love Is A Suicide.' My first relationship lasted 5 years and I told myself he was the love of my life because I had never had it before and that kind of love is like candy floss at a theme park…at the time you think it is brilliant. I wrote the song about my ex-boyfriend and how the deterioration of that relationship after 5 years and how painful it was - and how calculating he was. The relationship really drove me to my limits as a teenager and I’m really all or nothing, I was either gonna jump into his arms or jump of a bridge literally. I actually physically felt like he was killing me, and I had an epiphany that he is not killing me, I am staying with him. I'm staying with a guy who makes me feel like that...so really I am letting him kill me…I'm basically putting the gun in someone else’s hand and I realised that love is a suicide. That love certainly was my suicide, it was my choice to stay and let myself be destroyed and so I decided to put that situation out there on the album and maybe help some other seventeen year old girl from jumping into the wrong persons arms – so for me that song has the most power on the album for me because of that reason.

Mary J. Blige: 'I Would Have Died If I Didn't Stop Drinking'

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 03:00 AM PDT

Mary J Blige believes that she would have died if she didn't stop drinking, and likens herself to the late Amy Winehouse.

The Share My World singer discusses the moment when she found out Amy had passed in July, and says that it effected her to the point where she couldn't get out of bed. "When I got the text about Amy, I was lying down on the bed," she tells Ebony magazine.

"I got up and read the message about her death and just lay back down again. I kept getting up and laying back down for some reason. I'd always wanted to work with Amy, so I just couldn't believe it, really."

Mary reveals that the reason Amy's death touched her so much was because she has dealth with substance abuse problems in the past too. "That could have been me. That really could have been me!" she says.

Mary is preparing for the release of her tenth studio album My Life II: The Journey Continues.

Swizz Beatz Splashes Out On New Car For Alicia Keys Amid Cheating Rumours

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 02:31 AM PDT

Swizz Beatz has given himself a strange birthday present by buying wife Alicia Keys a car, just days after rumours surfaced that he has cheated on her.

The hip-hop producer turned 33 yesterday and rather than treat himself to a gift, he splashed out on a Lotus for his wife Alicia. Swizz posted a picture of Alicia posing beside the red sports car with the caption: "The best part of my Bday today was my gift I made my wife because my Bday is her Bday."

Just Monday, speculation that Swizz had cheated on Alicia surfaced when text messages appeared online suggesting that the two had been having an affair. Both Alicia and Swizz denied the rumours saying that they are "laughable" while supposed mistress Christina Elizabeth insists that the two had sexual relations.

What do you think of Swizz buying Alicia the car? Are these the actions of a guilty man or a loving husband?

Serena Williams Admits 'My Emotions Got The Best Of Me' With US Open Outburst

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 02:15 AM PDT

Serena Williams has admitted to letting her "emotions get the best of [her]" when she ranted at an umpire during her US Open tennis match.

The tennis champ caused a stir when she had an unexpected outburst at the umpire who told her off for breaking a code. Rather than accept the penalty graciously, Serena shouted at her: "You're just a hater and unattractive inside."

Serena was fined $2,000 for not apologising to the umpire, however, she now admits that she allowed her emotions to get involved. "My emotions did get the best of me this past weekend when I disagreed with the umpire," Serena wrote on Twitter.

"It has been a long road to get back to the US Open this year, and I am thankful to have had such a great two weeks in New York," she added.

Should Serena make a proper apology for her outburst?

Cheryl Cole has made a secret trip to Afghanistan in a bid to "boost the troop's morale."

The 'Promise This' star has made few public appearances, but decided to break out of hiding to visit the soldiers who are fighting in the war zone country. Flying to Camp Bastion in Helmand Province, Cheryl filmed a special tribute to mark ten years of the soldiers fighting in the region.

A source told The Daily Mirror: "Cheryl's amazed by the courage of all those serving our country. When she was invited to go out to see them in Afghanistan, she immediately said, 'yes.' She thinks it's such a great cause and they deserve all of the recognition they get."

It seems Cheryl's nice gesture pleased one of the soldiers, who told the publication: "I couldn't believe it was Cheryl joining us. It's great she's made the effort to come all the way out here. Not only does she look amazing but it's a pretty big gesture, it's cheered everyone up."

While on her trip, Cheryl will meet military dogs and members of the Explosive Device team.

Yelawolf: 'It's Nerve-Wracking Being A White Rapper Because Of The Lack Of Respect'

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 01:46 AM PDT

Yelawolf says that it's nerve-wracking being a white rapper in the industry because of the "lack of respect" they get.

The Alabama-native reveals the reason he admire's Eminem so much is because he's the only majorly successful white rappers, however, he points out that other rappers in the industry shouldn't be ignored because they are not black. 

Speaking to NC's 102 Jamz, Yela said: "There's always been white rappers, it's nothing new under the sun. There's only been one with worldwide success and longevity. You know who that is - Marshall. But there's always been white rappers."

He added: "It's cool, but a lot the times it's nerve-wracking because of the lack of respect of the culture that a lot of white rappers have. But there are plenty of real cats out there."

Yela is close friends with Eminem and is gearing up for the release of his debut studio album Radioactive.

Common Reveals Erykah Badu Broke Up With Him In A Phonecall

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 01:26 AM PDT

Common has revealed that his first love Erykah Badu broke up with him in a phonecall, saying that she "liked" someone else.

The rapper gave a candid interview with Wendy Williams and opened up for the first time about the relationship that he says was his "first heartbreak." "She handed it to me. I was in my hotel room on tour and... she called me and was like, 'Hey, I don't wanna be in this relationship no more. I'm liking someone else," he told the talk-show host.

He added: "That was my first love and my first heartbreak."

The pair dated between 2000 and 2002 and collaborated on Love Of My Life (An Ode To Hip-Hop). However, Erykah went to have three children with Andre 3000, rapper D.O.C. and Jay Electronica. 

Rather then sink into depression over the split, Common reveals that it made him stronger. "It taught me a lot of things, and when it happened I kinda really got into myself and really learned about myself and I was able to move on, and now me and E is really cool," he said.

Common is currently single after ending his relationship with Serena Williams.

Justin Bieber Copies Lil Wayne And Admits To Wearing Women's Clothes!

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 12:40 AM PDT

Justin Bieber has revealed that he wears women's clothes because they the only jeans that "fit" him.

The petite star may find it hard to find jeans that cater to his small size, so it's understandable that he has to find alternatives. However, his girlfriend Selena Gomez may not be so thrilled to find out that her boyfriend may be borrowing her clothes. 

Biebs told The Sun: "I've worn women's jeans before because they fit me. It's not a trend, it's just, whatever works, works."

However, Bieber is not the only male to favour women's clothes. Lil Wayne caused a stir when he rocked up on stage at the MTV VMAs wearing women's leopard print jeggings. After it was confirmed that they were in fact women's jeans, someone set-up a Twitter account purely for them.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that Selena has tattooed Justin's name on her wrist as a show of her love for the teenager.

N-Dubz's Fazer Involved In Brawl In Ibiza, Punches Shop Worker

Posted: 13 Sep 2011 11:58 PM PDT

N-Dubz's Fazer was reportedly involved in a brawl in Ibiza when the shop workers refused to pay him back his deposit. 

The rapper allegedly became angry with a shop worker on the party island when he went to retrieve his deposit for a scooter he had hired. However, when he was told that he could not be given back the deposit as he did not have his passport, Fazer and his eight-strong entourage began to get irate.

Shop owner Robert Esposito told The Sun: "Fazer was like a yob. It was like the Wild West for a couple of minutes until the police had arrived."

Robert also claimed that Fazer began shouting: "Don't you know who I am? I'm famous in England." Despite the boys causing damage and apparently even punching two of the workers to the ground, Robert decided not to press charges because he "didn't want the hassle."

Fazer's girlfriend Tulisa was also on holiday with the group but was having dinner elsewhere.

T.I. Refused Defence In Appeal Over Current Prison Stint!

Posted: 13 Sep 2011 11:13 PM PDT

T.I. has been refused the right to a defence attorney in the appeal for his current prison stint. 

The rapper was sent back to prison two weeks ago as a result of violating his parole, after being released from prison for just one day. T.I. and his wife Tiny have been furious at the treatment he has received from prison officials and want to appeal his case.

However, TMZ reports that his defence team received a letter from the state, saying that T.I. is "not entitled to legal counsel" during the process of reviewing whether he should be released from prison.

T.I. was on his way to a halfway house when he was sent back to prison because he arrived with an entourage when he was not permitted to.

Does T.I. deserve to have a legal team for his appeal?

Game Reveals Details Of His Last Album With Interscope

Posted: 13 Sep 2011 11:00 PM PDT

Game has revealed major details about his forthcoming fifth album and says that there will be no collaborations on the record.

Sountrack to Chaos will be Game's fifth studio album and his last with Interscope Records. In a video released by Hiphop-n-more.com, Game said: "Next album called Soundtrack to Chaos. No features. None. Zero. No Weezy, Jeezy, Drake, singers, nothing. Just us. That's it. That's it. Album five. Sountrack to Chaos."
