6IX9INE HIT WITH $300,000 LAWSUIT OVER SKIPPED CONCERT

Image
6ix9ine  is still racking up lawsuits while he sits in federal custody on  racketeering and weapons charges . According to  TMZ , the   Dummy Boy   artist was hit with lawsuit by concert promoters who have accused the rapper of being a  no-show at a Washington, D.C . concert  scheduled on Howard Homecoming Weekend back in October. In the suit, the promoters claim that 6ix9ine agreed to do the show for $60,000 but never showed up. As a result of the rapper’s no-show, the promoters had to turn away thousands of fans who showed up at the venue early and waited outside for hours. Fearing that a riot would break out, organizers eventually had to tell fans at the door that the concert was canceled. Organizers claimed they sold $165,336 in presale tickets and another $30,3000 in VIP tables for the event. They also claimed they had a difficult time trying to get in contact with 6ix9ne’s management team. The promoters are seeking $300...

Image
Cuban Doll  doesn’t have time for lames, so instead, she's focusing on the cheddar on her new song, "Fuck Boy Free.” Produced by EZ Elpee, the song flips Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s classic 1995 song “Get Money.” In the video, Cuban Doll is glammed up and smoking hookah while male servants cater to her every need.

JOYNER LUCAS ASKS TORY LANEZ FOR HELP WITH HIS HAIRLINE ISSUES

Image
Last month,  Joyner Lucas  and  Tory Lanez  were  engaged in war . Now that they've shook hands and said good game, they are at a point where JL feels like he can reach out to Lanez for help. Help in the hair department, that is. On Saturday (Dec. 29), Joyner posted a photo of himself at the barber shop getting shaped up. Unfortunately, the rapper's hairline is starting to move backward. He takes note of the harsh reality in the caption, hilariously asking Tory, who has openly talked about having his balding issues corrected by professionals, for his plug. "@ToryLanez I begging you," he wrote. "WTF is your surgeon's number bro?! This isn't funny anymore. I'm sorry for all those mean hairline jokes. SMH please help." Tory responded to the query by getting his own little joke in. "It was all good just a month ago," he replied along with crying laughing emojis. Joyner Lucas is heading into 2019 on a different route than he was coming i...

MACHINE GUN KELLY TAKES ONE FINAL SHOT AT EMINEM AND HIS FANS

Image
Machine Gun Kelly  isn't letting  Eminem  or his fans  forget about his Slim Shady diss  in the New Year. On the night before New Year's Eve (Dec. 30), the  Binge  rapper hit up Instagram to piss off the  Kamikaze  rapper and his fanbase one last time before the end of 2018. MGK posted a clip of the  "Rap Devil"  video he dropped back in September and issued a message to anyone who counted him out this year. "Just to piss y’all off one more time before the years over. y’all still BIG mad ‍♂️ fuck rap god im the rap devil goodbye 2018," Kelly says in the caption. "Rap Devil" was an Em diss song that finds MGK calling Eminem old and out of touch. Eminem eventually followed up with  "Killshot,"  which was an equally scathing clapback response record to Shady. MGK wasn't impressed. During a subsequent interview with  The Breakfast Club ,  the  Birdbox  actor said that he h...

Manchester United vs Bournemouth: Paul Pogba inspires side to third consecutive victory

Image
Paul Pogba's man-of-the-match display helped bring  Manchester United 's turbulent year to a positive end, with Bournemouth  comprehensively defeated as caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer oversaw another morale-boosting performance. The exciting post-Jose Mourinho era continues apace at Old Trafford, where players are now displaying freedom, fluidity and cohesion sorely lacking towards the end of the Portuguese's reign. Pogba has enjoyed the starkest change in fortunes. A fortnight on from being an unused substitute in Mourinho's final match, the midfielder scored twice and set up another as United beat Eddie Howe's Cherries 4-1 in the final  Premier League  match of 2018. United appear liberated by Solskjaer, whose side have scored 12 goals and picked up nine points since his appointment as caretaker manager. Sir Matt Busby and Mourinho are the only others to have won their first three league games as manager of the club.

Image

Clearly, Kendall is rocking h...

Why 2018 Was the Year Justin Bieber Truly Got Serious About His Future

Image
Having effectively entered adulthood at the tender age of 14 when the baby-faced YouTube phenom signed his first record deal (that first studio album would go on to be certified triple platinum),  Justin Bieber always assumed he'd be on an accelerated track.  After all by 15 he'd already "had a couple of girlfriends," as he put it  to Chicago's B96-FM , and at 18 he was so serious about one of them—you may recall his romance with Selena Gomez ?—that he was sharing a home with her doing "a marriage kind of thing," as he told  Complex  and getting his first real taste of the daily ins and outs of committing yourself to one partner. So when he declared around that time  to WWD  that "By 25 or 26, I want to see myself, like, married or start looking for a family," it pretty much checked out. As he explained to the outlet in that 2011 interview, "I want to be able to have done what I wanted to do—to b...

From number one albums to speeches at the UN: 2018 was BTS’s biggest year yet

Image
BTS have had a huge following ever since their debut in 2013, with their profile growing by the year. But 2018 will be remembered as the year they took over the world. RM, Jimin, Jin, V, Suga, J-Hope and Jungkook have been snapping up awards and breaking records in Korea throughout their career, but in late 2017, mainstream western music sat up and took notice with BTS performing DNA at the American Music Awards and appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show for the first time. As well as dropping their hit DNA, they worked with Steve Aoki and Desiigner on the Mic Drop remix. But this year has seen BTS’s achievements skyrocket, with entire music world – not just the dedicated fanbase, the ARMY – watching their every move. In March, the band gave fans old and new an insight into their busy lives and the effort they put into their performances with the documentary Burn The Stage – joining stars like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry who have completed similar projects. The fo...
