DMX Arrested Again

Shouts to TMZ for breaking the news.  Its sad to see how much DMX has fallen off.  He used to be one of my favorite rappers and could easily be in the position Jay-Z is in now if he had his head on straight but it’s clear he doesn’t.  “Cocaine is a helluva drug,” – just ask Rick James or even DMX.

DMX was arrested earlier today in Arizona – We’re told he allegedly violated the terms of his probation by using illegal drugs over the last nine months. The rapper’s lawyer Gary Jenkins tells us “He’s been battling addiction for some time and he’s in need of treatment.”

Lil’ Wayne Finally Goes To Jail

Today was the day that Lil’ Wayne finally got sentenced for his 2007 gun possession charge.  After a dental surgery delay and then a court fire delay, there couldn’t have been any more excuses to keep Weezy from behind bars and he’s beginning the first day of at least 8 months on New York’s Rikers Island today.

Shyne Signs A 7-Figure Deal With Def Jam

Miss Info broke the news yesterday that Shyne has signed a 7-figure record deal with Def Jam.  I hope Def Jam has some insane marketing plan ready because if Shyne keeps rapping like he did on the DJ Khaled track, the homie might be done.

“Multiple sources have confirmed to me that Shyne Po has signed a 7-figure deal with Def Jam. This ends a bidding war that had industry bigwigs vying for Shyne’s attention, flying to Belize, calling and courting, ever since the Brooklyn emcee was released from prison and deported to Belize back in October.”

Lil’ Wayne’s Prison Sentence Postponed Until March 2nd

The video above shows Lil’ Wayne leaving court earlier today where the judge postponed his prison sentence, which was supposed to be today, until March 2nd.  The reasoning for the delay is because Weezy needs to have some dental surgery before doing the time.  Enjoy another 3 weeks of freedom Dwayne.

Lil’ Wayne Begins His Prison Sentence Today

Lil’ Wayne begins his year long prison sentence today.  He had a final farewell with his fans on uStream last night before his friend drove off in a Bugatti to turn Weezy in.  It’ll be interesting to see what a year with out Wayne will be like (pause).
