Crooked I Shot?

This is some scary news. West Coast MC Crooked I has been a beast on the internet and mixtape game for the past two years, building a very solid national buzz. Unfortunately though it is looking like he got himself into a deadly situation. It’s being reported that last night, Sunday, Crooked was shot at least twice and his condition at this time is unknown.

Glasses Malone, a fellow West Coast rapper broke the news nationally via his Twitter page but didn’t get into too much detail, only letting us know that Crook’s injuries were not fatal.

“Something happened … which they ain’t explaining.” G. Malone said on his Twitter page. “What exactly happened, niggas don’t know. I’m just saying he isn’t dead nor is he dying. Someone had media saying he was fatally wounded. That’s not true.”

At least we know the wounds aren’t too serious. Crooked I has been very active lately after forming Slaughter House with Joell Ortiz, Royce, and Joe Budden. Hopefully we can get some more details on this and Crooked will let us know what’s really good. Stay tuned…

T-Pain Going To Rehab?

Now this is one that I instantly believe. T-Pain is well known in the industry to be an alcoholic. Maybe the fans don’t realize, but when a guy seems like he’s drunk all the time, he probably is. Such is the case with Pain. Award shows, video shoots, and of course studio sessions, anyone that works with Pain knows to expect the Patron shots and a variety of other liquors to be consumed. However, it is coming out that people close to him feel T-Pain’s drinking is starting to be a serious problem and are encouraging him to take steps to curb the drinking.

Friends and family reportedly have sat Pain down and let him know how they feel about his problem. Word is Pain initially wasn’t trying to hear it and acted furious that they would even try him like that.  However that changed after his wife broke down crying about how scared she was for his health. Word is Pain drinks at least 2 bottles a day on a minimum. His own manager supposedly was there and he even suggested that Pain take a month or so off and quietly go to rehab.

So what’s the verdict? I am hearing that Pain accepted and promised to try to curb the drinking himself. If he proves unsuccessful he has vowed to accept treatment and go to a rehab facility. Either way I hope this guy can kick the juice, because he has way too much talent to go out like that.

Sean Kingston Choked Out By Police?

This is something my MIA connect hit me with. T.I. kicked off his farewell tour in Miami this past Friday. My people that went said it was a sold out show and T.I. killed it, performing for more than an hour to the packed arena. However I’m told that the real action took place backstage before T.I. performed. You know at big concerts everybody that’s somebody in that town is going to be there. Sean Kingston, the young reggae sensation, was of course at this show since it was in Miami.

Well I am getting word that Kingston was involved in some kind of verbal altercation with the po-po’s that took a violent turn. I’m not sure what the argument was about but my people who were there and witnessed it all said the police suddenly tried to cuff big Sean to which he objected and squirmed away. This prompted two big cops to wrestle the big guy down and detain him. Witnesses say one of the cops put the chokehold on Kingston and this is what finally got him to settle down so they put the cuffs on him. After this they supposedly dragged a cussing and screaming Sean Kingston away.

Now I don’t know this for sure, as I haven’t heard any police reports or arrests about Kingston come out, but who knows for sure? Maybe they just let him go after a good choking, no harm, no foul right? I must say I would of paid double the ticket price to see Sean Kingston wrestling with three cops while ones riding his back putting the sleeper hold on him. Seems like the real show was in the back on this night, huh?
