Drake was schedules to perform at the two day festival in London and Birmingham this weekend, with him headlining one of those dates.

Drake is also scheduled to host the upcoming 22nd annual ESPN ESPY’s awards Wednesday, July 16, at the Nokia Theatre L.A. in Los Angeles at 9 PM EST.  

The internet is funny! Nicki said some stuff at the BET Awards and it seemed like she was dissing Iggy. I’m thinking she knew it would go down this way. She blames the media but it wasn’t the media only, because the while world took it as a diss to Iggy. So, Nicki stop. Stop the madness. Somehow, Lauryn Hill comes into this rant. just see what she has to say. The media puts words in my mouth all the time and this is no different. I will always take a stance on women writing b/c I believe in us! I believe we’re smart enough to write down our own thoughts and perspective, just like the men do. I’ve been saying this for 5 YEARS. I fell in love with Lauryn Hill b/c I knew she was the author behind those amazingly profound and articulated songs on the Miseducation. I wondered how Lauryn tapped into my brain and wrote an album on love, betrayal, passion, pain, triumph, brokenness…. Did she read minds? It’s the same reason I have a different level of respect for Missy. I know she’s a...

Jeremy Meeks could earn an estimated '$30,000 to $100,000 a month' in modeling and entertainment gigs, according to his agent, Gina Rodriguez. The California gangbanger dubbed the “Hot Convict” now has two Hollywood agents. But widespread reports of Jeremy Meeks inking a lucrative modeling contract were premature, one of his agents told the Daily News Thursday. Gina Rodriguez, who is handing Meeks’ entertainment career, knocked down reports that the blue-eyed prisoner with a tear-drop tattoo had signed a deal with Blaze Model & Talent Management of Santa Monica, Calif. “With Jeremy, we have not signed with Blaze Models. We’ve never even spoken to that agency and neither has his family.” Rodriguez confirmed that Meeks now has a second agent handling potential modeling and endorsement deals. Veteran talent agent Jim Jordan of the White Cross Management has agreed to help the career criminal go legit, Rodriguez said. She estimates Meeks, 30, can bring in “$...

Recently reports surface that for years Mya and Jay-Z have been carrying on an affair for years, and Mya came through via Instagram and shut those rumors down quick. After a fan asked if the report was true, Mya responded with: “Never did, never was, never will. Illegitimate thirsty sources with no facts and that’s the “media” for you- especially today. I play second to no one, pay my own bills, have my own label, own management company, rely on God only and respect myself & marriage way too much for nonsense. False rumors are crafted for ratings & numbers. And miserable, unhappy people need someone to judge to deter the attention away from their own misery and feel better about their miserable lives. If they did it to Jesus, they’ll do it to anyone. God Bless.”   There’s one out the way, what about all the other reported jumpoffs? KMazur/WireImage Frenemies? Mya and Beyoncé Frenemies? Mya and Beyoncé attend the 2003 MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles.

50 Cent's 2009 lawsuit against WorldStar has come to an end in his favor. 50 Cent filed a lawsuit against WorldStarHipHop.com back in 2009, after his image was used on the header of the website without his permission. Fif argued that the picture left visitors with the impression that the rapper owned or was affiliated with the site. 5 years later, a judge has ruled that 50 be given "summary judgment on copyright and right of publicity claims", as well as rejecting defenses of fair use of the image. Hollywood reporter points to a quote from the ruling; “Defendants provide no authority to support the fair use of a celebrity’s image or likeness. This is not surprising, as a celebrity’s image, standing alone, only evokes that celebrity’s persona. Jackson’s image does not, by itself, describe anything about Defendants’ website.”  

After performing at SuperJam 2014 in Greensboro, NC, Rick Ross was arrested by police on charges stemming from a court date he missed. As there was no 100 person mob waiting for him outside of Greensboro Coliseum last night, Rick Ross actually showed up to perform at the venue's SuperJam 2014 concert, though his successful appearance didn't mean the night was a complete success. After the show, local authorities caught up with Rozay to take him into custody for missing a court date. As it turns out, the MMG Bawse was arrested in North Carolina in 2013 for marijuana possession, and never showed up to court for his trial. As a result, he was arrested for bailing on the date, though he posted bail and is now free again. TMZ reports that he was "cooperative" with the police.

  On the heels of his show "Power" debuting on Starz, 50 Cent announces that he just sold another series to Comedy Central. "Go 'head and switch the style up/And if they hate, then let 'em hate and watch the money pile up" is quickly becoming less of a lyric from 50 Cent 's "In Da Club" and more of a mantra that the entrepreneur lives his life by. If you take "style" to mean "profession," Fif's switched it up a lot, going from rapping to acting to advertising to, most recently, executive producing the Starz show "Power." It seems like he's taken a liking to the TV production life, as he just announced that he sold a show to Comedy Central. "I bet a HATER will get tired of hating," he wrote on Instagram. "Before I lose passion,I just sold another TV show,COMEDY CENTRAL #smsaudio #power." Stay tuned for more details on this story, a...

Zendaya Coleman is no longer interested in playing Aaliyah for Lifetime's upcoming movie. Things aren't getting any better for Lifetime's upcoming Aaliyah biopic. Just eleven days  after the deceased singer's family went on record about their disapproval of the film being put into production and refusing to give Lifetime any song rights to use their daughter's music, the lead actress in the project, Disney channel star Zendaya Coleman, has officially dropped out of the project. According to a report by TMZ , the actress no longer wanted to be involved with the film after hearing about Aaliyah's family's reaction--an admirable decision considering the enormous boost in popularity she would have received if the film was aired. For now, Lifetime has put the movie on hold. Whether or not they plan to keep the project in development has yet to be confirmed. Are you still hoping this biopic will see the light of day or should the tentati...

Eminem's daughter, Hailie Mathers, graduated high school Summa Cum Laude and is headed to Michigan State University. Some of the earliest criticisms of Eminem centered around his many references to his daughter Hailie, who was just a toddler when songs like "'97 Bonnie & Clyde" (the lyrics of which had Em taking her and her recently-murdered mother out for a drive) first dropped. If Em's original detractors were to be believed, this girl's life was in danger of being ruined, but now it seems that quite the opposite has happened. Hailie Mathers, now 18, has graduated her high school with top marks and is headed to Michigan State University. Achieving Summa Cum Laude status (an honor awarded to those with at least a 3.9 GPA), Hailie was eager to thank both of her parents, saying that they "have pushed me to be the person I am and have given me all the support to achieve what I have.” She was also named homecoming queen last fall, ...

Soul singer Bobby Womack has died, his record company, XL Recordings, confirmed. The cause of death is currently unknown. The singer's career spanned seven decades, several notable collaborations and included 80's hit “If You Think You're Lonely Now.” He born on March 4, 1944 in Cleveland, Ohio. From a very religious family — his father was a Baptist minster and his mother was the church's resident organ player — Womack and his brothers had a great gospel music education. Womack began his career in the early 1960s as the lead singer of his family musical group The Valentinos, who were discovered by Sam Cooke. Womack was also Cooke's backing guitarist. In March 1965, just three months after Sam Cooke's death, Womack found himself in a scandal after marrying Cooke's widow, Barbara Campbell. In the late-60s, Womack went solo. In 1968, he signed with Minit Records and recorded his first solo album, “Fly Me To The Moon,” which included ...

NEW YORK (AP) — Who can forget the time he put a paper bag on his head that read "I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE"? Or when he was forced to apologize for plagiarizing parts of his short film? He then promised to retire from public life. Now, he's been escorted from a Broadway theater in handcuffs for allegedly yelling obscenities during a performance of "Cabaret." The guy who insisted he's not famous was heard screaming, "Do you know who I am"? Witnessing Shia LaBeouf 's recent off-screen and offstage antics is getting to be like watching a slow-moving train wreck. Has he become the male equivalent of Amanda Bynes? "Shia LaBeouf is certainly not alone in displaying unusual behavior and even immaturity," said Jason Maloni, senior vice president at Levick, a strategic communications company that guides clients through challenging media situations. "This is just the latest incident that put him crossways with an actor's most...
