The 02 Ritz in Manchester reported Nelly concert was canceled due to unforeseen circumstances.

After the Paris attacks Nelly canceled 4 tour dates... The threat of terrorism is a huge concern for him and his team.

Nelly wants to stay away from any trouble. Just past Friday Nelly's felony charges for the possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia were dropped.

As some of you may recall Nelly's tour bus got raided last April. If Nelly stays out of trouble for a year all charges will be wiped from his record.

Get it together Nelly!

Boosie had a nephrectomy to remove cancer Tuesday December 10th. Boosie feels weak but doctors believe all of the cancer is gone.

Boosie had to pay $90,000 out of pocket for the surgery because Boosie does not have health insurance.

Boosie is in my prayers I hope he has a speedy recovery! He has been through it all. One of my favorite artist and a true solider.

Ladies do y'all see that ring on Nicki's finger though? I want my dude to act like Meek Mill's goofy ass in regards to me... Yes his rap career has taken numerous L's from Drake but Meek treats Nicki like she supplies his air...

Now according to Nicki that ring is just a birthday gift not an engagement ring!

Picture

Y'all remember earlier this year Meek bought Nicki another ring in April just because...

Nicki the real MVP. Got rappers beefing over her (Drake and Meek Mill) and she still riding with her man L after L. Sadly TMZ reported Meek may be facing jail time for traveling out of Philly without permission. Meek is on probation for a 2009 drug and gun conviction. Let's see how this unfolds...

Very happy to see Dangelo, J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar amongst the nominees for the 58th annual Grammy awards. Kendrick Lamar is one of the top nominees with eleven nominations. To Pimp a Butterfly was truly a work of art and lyrically one of the best albums I've ever heard. Drake has the first diss track nominated for best performance for "Back to Back" but I'm hoping J.Cole wins for "Apparently". Dangelo and the Vanguard stole my heart with "Really Love" and is one of my favorite songs to this day.
