Papoose & Remy Ma to Wed in Prison

New York, NY – The rumored
relationship of Brooklyn native, Papoose, and Bronx
native, Remy Ma, have now apparently
been made public. After Remy Ma’s court conviction last Thursday, Papoose
thought it’d be wise to release their official engagement and their plans of
marriage as he emailed MTV News,
supplying them with information of their prepared arrangements and how the
situation went about.

Even before Remy’s trial
was to take place, the two rappers had already made plans to wed in April. All
the same, plans didn’t seem to go their way, the judge gave Remy a court order
to be held in prison until her official sentencing on April 23rd, if convicted,
she is liable to face 25 years.  Nevertheless,
Papoose iterates that the wedding will go as planned with all the necessary preparations
to hold the wedding in prison. 

This was his statement to
MTV News via email concerning their once rumored relationship and what the next
step would be:

 “We always wanted to keep our personal lives
personal, so that’s why we never went public with our relationship. Right now,
I just feel like she gotta live through me. Yes, we were scheduled to be
married on a yacht April 27th. But due to circumstances beyond our control, we
are now making arrangements to be married in prison.”

In the closing remarks of
the email, he states that Remy and her lawyers will be appealing the case with
hopes of an excellent turnout. He also asked fans to send letters to the judge
urging for support.

 This was his statement to
the fans:  

 “All her supporters who feel Remy had an influence
on their life should write a short letter to the judge asking for the shortest
sentence possible, send it to LettersForRemy@gmail.com.”

Keep posted to 24hourhiphop.com for updated news on her verdict.

All in all, it is a real
sad situation, but if you look at it from another angle, she shot the damn
girl. $3,000 is undeniably a huge sum of money, but the result action is not
something to go to prison over. I believe people should think twice before resulting
to violence. Let’s be real about this though, I’d be really surprised if she’s
even sentenced the full 25. Tell us how you feel about this whole situation.


50
Cent calls ‘Curtis‘ a “Dud,” talks
about G-Unit’s Work Ethic

Farmington, CT – The
infamous G-Unit leader recently stated
on a video blog that his most current album ‘Curtis’ was a “Dud.”  50 Cent
reiterates that he does admit to it regardless of the hits that garnered from
the album. He recently invited MTV News
to his mansion in Connecticut to discuss the Curtis album and his artists’ vocal
delivery on new material.

During the conversation
with MTV News, he explains why he calls his last platinum selling album a Dud.
This was his statement to MTV:

“It was a blockbuster that I lit, and it didn’t
explode. I felt like it should have went a lot further than the results I
received. Publicly, I feel that 50 Cent fans don’t believe it was a dud. It did
have ‘I Get Money,’ it did have ‘Ayo Technology,’ ‘I’ll Still Kill,’ ‘Follow My
Lead’ with Robin Thicke. These records were hit records, but the timing they
came out was wrong. If the first record you heard off Curtis was ‘I Get Money,’ it would have shifted more millions in
sales.”

He also adds comments about
his G-Unit core members and their work ethic:

“I created monsters, ‘Frankensteins.’ I got three of
them. It’s like creatively they got strong opinions on things they like. They’ll
be telling each other, like, ‘Yo, I’m telling you.’ They got a different way of
saying it to each other than saying it to me. They be like, ‘Nah, he be saying we
need to keep this record.’  I think their
solo careers changed what our collaborations were in the beginning. If you look
at the beginning of the mixtapes, I was creating the hooks.

‘You should be amazing on the album; You don’t have to write three verses. All
you have to do is one. You should write three and pick one. I’m like, ‘You’re a
solo artist right?’ I’ll tell them to redo the verse [if it’s not up to snub].
‘Just do it again. Let’s see what the second one sounds like if we’re not
sure.’ They don’t mind. The process is interesting because they’ve developed
their own personal liking for things they want to do. But the response to the
mixtape material, which has proven to them they should listen is making them
follow what I’m saying.”

At press time, G-Unit is
still working on their upcoming album, no release date has been set for the
album slated to be titled ‘Lock and Load.’ Keep posted to 24hourhiphop.com for updated news.

50 is still in the news? I
could have swore he fell off sometime last year. His beef with Fat Joe isn’t
doing much for him, obviously no one cares. Joey Crack is doing his thing, just
like everyone else; the last thing on their minds is 50 Cent. His last album
off of Interscope releases sometime this year or next year, the title for that
has already been secured as ‘Before I Self Destruct.’ I wonder what would
happen when he finally becomes a free agent on the market, what do ya’ll think.

Kimora Lee Simmons officially files for divorce from Russell
Simmons

Los Angeles, CA – In March
of 2006, the Phat Farm and Baby
Phat couple filed for separation until the
final decision of divorce was to be met at a later time. Well that later time
has arrived, approximately two years after their initial separation.

After 7 years of marriage, two
prosperous fashion lines, and two children, the reality TV starlet has finally
served the co-founder of Def Jam with
the divorce papers last Tuesday, claiming irreconcilable differences between the
two. She is also seeking custody of their two daughters, Ming Lee and Aoki Lee.
In addition to requesting that Russell be
allowed visitation privileges; however with strict terms stating that they must
be accompanied by the children’s nanny and security personnel at all times
during reasonable visitation scheduling.

At press time, Kimora
Lee has been publicly dating screen actor, Djimon
Hounsou.


I gotta give it up to this
girl, she is definitely a certified entrepreneur, she took Baby Phat to the top
and is still holding at that level. However, I honestly don’t believe Russell
needs that many damn restrictions just to see his kids, now that is some uncalled
for bullshit.

Diddy Settles Assault Lawsuit

Los Angeles, CA – In a
settled lawsuit filed in February of last year, Diddy was apparently accused of striking a man and his
girlfriend during a Post-Oscar Party at Teddy’s Nightclub outside of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.   

Gerard Rechnitzer filed a
lawsuit against Diddy for punching him, pushing his girlfriend to the floor and
spitting on her. Rechnitzer goes forth to state that Diddy’s actions occurred
during a friendly open-hand gesture for a greeting. He sought claiming
unspecified damages.

At press time, the lawsuit
has been settled without further legal action.

On the real, if Diddy did
it or not, the man was just looking for a damn handout, a get rich quick scheme from a
lawsuit with a Hip-Hop mogul.
