BEBE COOL’S HUMMER FINALLY IN TOWN

Superstar Bebe Cool’s much hyped state-of-the-art Hummer car is finally in town after years of waitingl. The monster H2 Hybrid 2004 model arrived at the Bogolako star’s Ntinda home at 2:00pm yesterday to the excitement of the singer and his family.

The singer revealed that he bought the vehicle from Canada. A few hours after its arrival, it was driven to Tadashi Bond in Nakawa for valuation and taxation. A close pal told us that the singer bought the car at a staggering USD42,000 before taxes.

For years, Gagamel Crew president Bebe Cool (real name Moses Ssali) has always wanted to own a Hummer. “This is a dream come true now that he has acquired it,” a pal told us. We are told he wants to customise it with personalised registration plates ‘BIG SIZE’. His DMC Range Rover is customised as BAFFUDDE.

The first time Bebe Cool tried to buy a Hummer, the fella, one Stabbo, that was supposed to bring it in disappeared with the dime the singer had paid. Late last year, he bought his wife and mom of two, Zuena Kirema a simple car. We are told he wants to buy her an Escalade.

Top singers Dr Jose Chameleone and Bobi Wine own one each. Currently the star singer is bound in a wheelchair following shooting that he suffered at the hands of a police officer, Alfred Achikan in January. The acquisition of the big-money Hummer will certainly cement Bebe Cool’s place among the very top artistes in Uganda. And this will certainly reignite his biff with big-headed Goodlyfe singers Mozey Radio and Weasel TV.

RON BROWZ KILLED AUTO-TUNE BEFORE JAY Z

Though Ron Browz’s new collabo with Foxy Brown, “Ride Ya Bike (She’s A Biker),” is his first Auto-Tune-free single, the Harlem producer and rapper claims he had plans of going au natural long before Jay-Z pulled the trigger with “D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-Tune).”
“What’s weird was that before ‘D.O.A.,’ I had started recording songs without Auto-Tune. People don’t know that,” Browz recently explained to VIBE. “[Ether Boy] was going to be half-and-half. So when he came out with ‘D.O.A.,’ I was like ‘Wow.’ And it was just time for me to show people I can rap.
“But you can’t just give Auto-Tune to your mother and be like ‘Hey Ma, go on Auto-Tune, you’re going to make a smash.’,” the rapping producer continued. “No. I still had to write lyrics that people could sing along with. So I’ve just been recording songs with and without it.”
That said, Browz’s 2010 mantra—the simpler, the stickier—won’t veer too left from his past formula. “What I did for [“Ride Ya Bike (She’s A Biker)”] is like all my previous songs. I just play the beat, put my headphones on and say whatever comes to mind,” he reveals of his songwriting process. “I don’t care how dumb or how silly you think it sounds, because I know the catchiest songs end up being big records. And in this industry, hooks are the most important part of the song.”
Having mastered the craft of creating mindless melodies that catch on—think “Arab Money,” “Pop Champagne,” and “Jumpin’ Out The Window”—Browz was stumped when rumors bubbled last October that he'd been dropped from his label, Universal Motown.
“When I was up there, I had the Drake momentum. I had all these big records' and then for some odd reason they felt like [my album] shouldn’t come out,” he said. “The album was dope, features from Diddy to Keri to Lloyd Banks to Amerie and I’m like ‘What’s going on?’
“I don’t know if it was ‘D.O.A,' I had no idea what the hold up was,” he continued. “[I knew] the people wanted it ’cause I’m on the road every weekend. Then when ‘Gimme 20 Dollars’ came out and they didn’t get behind the record, I was like ‘I gotta go.’ So I took the initiative and told Universal I wanted to leave. I didn’t get dropped; it was a mutual understanding."

50 SUED OVER SEX TAPE

The mother of Rick Ross’ daughter is suing 50 Cent for disseminating her private sex tape over the Internet last year.
Lastonia Leviston processed her complaint yesterday (Feb. 24) in Manhattan, alleging that 50 Cent used the tape without her permission and has caused her to suffer “emotional distress.”
In March 2009, 50 Cent posted the video on his affiliate site www.boobootv.com as a form of psychological warfare with then rival Rick Ross.
The Queens mogul edited the 13-minute sex tape to include himself under his short-lived Pimpin’ Curly persona. As Curly, he hurled insults at Ross and Leviston, identified in the clip as “Brooke.”
“Double R? Does that stand for Rick Ross in the middle of her motherfuckin’ chest man?! Oh this is cold blooded man. I told n***as I was the beast from the east man. They thought I was bullsh***ing. I ain’t bullshitting no more man. 1 minute and 30 seconds n***a. You see the tape. It only been on for 1 minute and 30 seconds,” Curly ridiculed. I want you to watch this on your tour bus Ricky. I want you to watch this on your motherf***ing tour bus Ricky. Now how the f**k you gonna say you a boss and you run a motherf**king crew and can’t even control your b**ches. Is this n***a licking on the Rick Ross tattoo? The n***a licking on the Ricky tattoo. Oooh s**t. Oooh man. Somebody need to make an announcement!”
The male participant’s face in the clip is blurred out and has never been identified. According to Leviston’s lawsuit, the tape was made in 2008.
Rick Ross' other child's mother, Tia Kemp, aligned herself with 50 Cent last year. She released a tell-all book and appeared in several viral clips, including one where the Queens emcee took her on a shopping spree.
Several months ago, Kemp brought Ross' son to Floyd Mayweather's mansion to take pictures with 50 Cent and the boxer.
Ross released his third studio album, Deeper Than Rap, in the midst of the feud in April 2009. To date, it has sold over 400,000 copies.
50 Cent’s 4th LP, Before I Self-Destruct, was released last November and is certified gold.

CASH MONEY'S OIL BUSSINES QUESTIONED BY BLOOMERG

The company was actually formed by the brothers years ago. But, the news caught the eye of several entertainment-related websites, and a few major financial publications such as Bloomberg.

While Birdman claimed in a recent interview with Ozone magazine that he already had oil pumps producing and was pulling in money on a monthly basis from his energy business, a recent report from Bloombergquestioned whether or not the company was even doing any real energy business at all.

"Right now I'm active; I got pumps and sh** that are getting money monthly. I like that oil sh**. I'm gonna put some more time into it," he told Ozone recently.

Bronald's mission statement says they are focused on the "exploration, production and development of oil and gas reserves" in several U.S. Gulf Coast states including Oklahoma's Osage County.

Well, Bloomberg contacted Oklahoma City-based Chaparral Energy Inc., who operates about 40% of the wells in Osage County. They said they've never heard of Bronald or been contacted by the company.

Also, when attempting to dig deeper into the music moguls' forray into the energy business, the publication found that "regulators that handle oil and gas permits and operator licenses in Texas and Louisiana didn't have records of Bronald's existence; nor did Secretary of State offices in Texas and Florida."

However, Dan Pickering, president of Tudor Pickering Holt (an energy investment and merchant banking boutique), told Bloomberg that it's likey that the Williams brothers would be non-operating partner in drilling projects since both oil and gas wells are very expensive. So, they could very well be doing business after all, just not hands on.

Other inconsistencies included unlisted phone numbers, or numbers listed to the residences of either Birdman or Slim, and the pair being the other individuals listed under management and director headings on the Bronald website.

While Birdman may have fabricated his statements about actually owning oil pumps that are drilling currently, it's very likely that the music moguls have a real interest in diversifying their portfolios into energy, but are still in the early stages of reeling in investors to drill.

The Cash Money camp had yet to respond at press time.

President Obama Tells Jay-Z He Loves BP3

First it was that he wanted some one to manage his Facebook and tweeter accounts now he is listening to the BLUEPRINT 3 BY JAY Z.....

Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 album has received its biggest endorsement via PresidentBarack Obama. In a recent interview with BBC One, Jay-Z disclosed that the President loved the LP and was playing it during their recent phone conversation.

“Barack loves hip-hop, when I called him he was playing Blueprint in the gym,” he explained. “I've been invited to the White House a couple of times. Hopefully we'll keep him in for 8 years so I'll have time to get there."

Obama has been a self-admitted hip-hop fan for years, and first met Jay-Z in 2008 as part of his goal to help emcees use their art to spark critical thinking and bridge generational rifts.

Also, the then U.S. senator was hopeful to see hip-hop artists as a whole move away from the misogyny and materialistic slant that’s gripped the art form’s mainstream in recent years.

“I've met with Jay-Z, I've met with Kanye [West]. And I've talked to other artists about how potentially to bridge that gap. I think the potential for them to deliver a message of extraordinary power that gets people thinking [is great]," Obama told BET on the special What’s In It For Us? “There are times, even on the artists I've named, the artists that I love, that there is a message that's sometimes degrading to women, uses the N-word a little too frequently. But also something that I'm really concerned about is they're always talking about material things about how I can get something; more money, more cars.”

Jay-Z acknowledged the hip-hop nation’s potential political power, but rejected the notion that artists should tone down their messages. Instead, he insisted that artists have a responsibility to speak on the uncomfortable truths of society, and not relegate their art to propaganda.

"Sometimes there are hard truths in rap, they're not packaged with pretty ribbons. Sometimes the realities of the situations are harsh and they need to be told,” Jay reasoned to the BBC. “We're the poets of our generation! Those truths and those honesties need to be told and sometimes that will rub people the wrong way but that don't mean you don't tell them. I think when rap is done brilliantly it can inform you of a problem, things that are going on."

Even as the pro-Obama hip-hop songs slowed following the President’s January 2009 inauguration, Jay-Z has remained one of his strongest supporters.

The Brooklyn native spoke favorably of Obama throughout Blueprint 3, including the songs “What We Talkin’ About,” “On to the Next One,” and “Reminder.”

Today (Feb. 19), President Obama will hold a town hall meeting at Nevada’s Henderson high school, followed by speaking engagements at the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

THE DRAMA CONTINUES: ESTHER vs. THE MEDIA

Speaking at a press conference in Nairobi on Thursday afternoon, Esther condemned the media for ‘digging’ into her private life and exposing her affairs and yet there was no scandal.

Referring to media reports that she was coerced into not wedding her fiancé because he was allegedly a free mason, Esther said it was ‘none of anyone’s business who she dates’.

“I have served this country with integrity and honesty... There’s not a single scandal attached to my name. I’ve been doing my job and doing it well. I have resisted splashing my personal details in media. I didn’t think it was public information who I’m dating or who I’m seeing, and so when I broke up with Wilson Malaba, I did not go to the press!” she revealed.

Unconfirmed reports allege that Esther had left KTN and joined a ‘cult’ that is said to be run by a well known musician, Joseph Hellon, who was also present at the press conference, in the company of his wife.

Arunga also dispelled the notion that she is heavy with child.

“Since last year, about 12 months ago, there’s been rumours that I was pregnant. I just hear it on the street and I get very amused. No, I am not pregnant,” she stressed.

The buck does not stop there. As they were concluding the press conference, Hellon announced that he will be vying for Kenya’s top seat in 2012 (yes the presidency), with Esther as his running mate.

“It might not be the appropriate place to make this announcement, but I will… Ladies and gentlemen of the 4th estate, Come 2012, I Joseph Hellon is vying for president of Kenya. And Esther Arunga is my running mate…”

As journalists guffawed and asked for a clarification, Arunga said; “He just told you I’m his running mate, for 2012! Yes...”

ESTHER ARUNGA JOINS CULT!

She's a TV star in Kenya, studied law, has worn awards, she's beautiful and famous but she has just been hypnotized by a weird jazz musician called Hellon (real name Ekkaleo Joesph Hellon) who has a church in Runda.

Step forward Esther Arunga. So why did this cute and well educated lawyer leave her high flying job to join some dubious character who was also a judge in the recently concluded Tusker Project Fame? According to well placed sources, Esther who was engaged and set to get married was convinced by "pastor" Hellon to dump his man after she had joined his Runda church.

Now family and friends have not heard from her because she's sulking and refusing to answer her phone having being mesmerized in her new church's activities! Apparently Hellon's "church" is said to have many cute ladies some who reside there "helping" in divine chores.
The church is weirdly named Finger of God.

Come on Esther...go home for "heaven" sake!.....My verdict: Beauty without brains. Keep it vibes Arena as the saga unveils.

The Goods: Have What It Takes to Tweet For President Obama?

Out of a job? Love Twitter? Riding for President Barack Obama? Then you're in luck. Late last week, the President announced that he's currently looking for a "Social Networks Manager" immediately. Your job, if you should choose to accept it: Help update President Obama's Twitter, Facebook and MySpace pages (and, um, convince him that MySpace is so 2006). Though Obama's gotten props for using all forms of social media both before and during his presidency, he admitted late last year that he doesn't actually tweet or write his own Facebook status updates. So the gig includes coming up with grassroots campaigns on the various social networks. But as the ad for it points out, the right candidate needs to be "ready to work hard; this isn't a 9-to-5 sort of job."

Birdman calls time working with R. Kelly his worst investment

Cash Money CEO Birdman, also known as Baby, has made a lot of money in a lot of different places ... but he's best known for the wise decisions made in music.

However, if you ask him, there's a few places his Cash Money Records company is lacking and that's the R&B world.

While he's found a star in Jay Sean, Baby did have plans to do a joint album with R&B star R. Kelly. That never panned out, and according to the music mogul, it was a waste of time.

In a recent interview with Ozone Magazine, Birdman said working with Kellz was his worst investment.

"Probably the worst investment I did was f***in' with R. Kelly," he explained. "That was a waste of my time. I could've made money if I wasn't f***in' with that clown-a** n****."

In 2003, the pair were to record a Best Of Both Worlds 2 album, but it never saw the light of day.

Also in the interview, Birdman discusses his plans for expansion in music, his success in the oil biz, his flagship artist Lil Wayne, and the new crop of Cash Money artists next in line.

Here's a snippet:

You seem to find money no matter where it is, from the Lugz shoes, to videogames, to music...
I'm trying to buy some of the [Miami] Dolphins next.

How did you become so business savvy?
I was just born with that sh**, brah. When you have a business you need to know to budget, spend, and manage. I think those are the three hardest things to do in business. If you don't do those things, your business is gonna go under. I was just blessed to know how to do those things [as well as] hustle. Honestly, you gotta hustle and know how to flip money. And to flip money, you've got to always get new money. Niggas be trying to hold on to old money and they don't spend it, but you've gotta keep flipping that sh**.

I heard the tattoo on your head represents an oil rig. Is it true you're an aspiring oil tycoon?
I've been in the oil business about 4 or 5 years now. That's something me and my brother decided to do outside of music. I read about oil a lot and I was able to get in business. [My company] is called Browner Oil, and I'm making good money off that; that's something for my kids and my kids' kids. They can live off that money forever.

Not to get in your pockets too much, but I heard you've made over $100 million off oil.
I did a few different deals. That was just one of them. When you're dealing with oil, you buy in different areas. Right now I'm active; I got pumps and sh** that are getting money monthly. I like that oil sh**. I'm gonna put some more time into it.

Dr. Dre Files Lawsuit Over The Chronic Royalties

Dr. Dre has filed a lawsuit against Death Row Records, the legendary record label he co-founded with Suge Knight.
Dre, born Andre Young, filed a federal lawsuit against the company that purchased Death Row out of bankruptcy, WideAwake-Death Row LLC.
According to the lawsuit, Dr. Dre has not seen any royalties from his groundbreaking hit album The Chronic since 1996, the year he left the label due to a strained relationship with Knight.
Death Row Records was put up for sale, when Knight lost a $107 million dollars default judgment to Michael and Lydia Harris.
The Harris’ claimed they invested $1 million dollars, but were cut out of profits by Knight.
WideAwake-Death Row Records LLC purchased the storied gangsta rap label and all of its assets for $18 million dollars during a sale in 2008.
Dre claims the new owners, who have issued releases and reissues by Snoop Dogg and Kurupt, are selling digital, remastered copies of The Chronic and The Chronic Re-Lit, both without his permission.
Ownership of the label is still in question.
In November of 2009, Laura Lavi, who claims to be the sole CEO of Wideawake-Death Row LLC., accused co-owners New Solutions Financials of diverting funds and assets illegally.

Samsung Is The Latest Company To Capitalize On MJ's Death

Sigh. Another day, another way for a major corporation to make a buck off the deceased Michael Jackson. On the same day the King of Pop’s former doctor pled not guilty to a manslaughter charge stemming from MJ’s death, Samsung announced that they’re planning to release a limited-edition Michael Jackson This Is It hard drive that comes preloaded with his final documentary, This Is It, that was released recently. The hard drive comes equipped with 500GB of space and a DRM-protected copy of This Is It on it. If you’re collecting Michael memorabilia, this might be a nice pickup. But at this rate, don’t expect the MJ goods to dry up anytime soon. Check for it here on Feb 24, for a retail of $123

Lil Wayne’s Feature Film Debut Goes Straight-to-DV

There’s good and bad news for fans waiting to see Lil Wayne in his feature film debut, Hurricane Season. The bad news is that the film, originally set for theatrical release in 2009 won’t hit theaters at all. The good news, though, is that the wait is over. The film has been slated for a straight-to-DVD release and will be available for purchase as soon as tomorrow (Feb. 9).

Starring Forest Whitaker, Isaiah Washington, Taraji P. Henson, and fellow Young Money rapper Bow Wow, the drama is based on a true story about rival high school basketball players from five different schools who came together as one team in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The movie follows the players and their coach (played by Whitaker) from before the disaster and all the way to their road to the state championships.

Filmed between April and June 2008 in Weezy’s hometown of New Orleans, Hurricane Season has seen its theatrical release date postponed numerous times due to the financial troubles of the film’s distributing company, which ultimately led to the straight-to-DVD release.

The DVD’s release date coincides with the New Orleans MC’s real life drama, as he’s set to go behind bars over weapons charges for a one-year jail bid tomorrow as well.

WE DONT CARE IF BEBE DIES -RADIO & WEASEL

Goodlyfe Slaughters A Goat To Celebrate Bebe Cool Shooting

Good Lyfe stars Weasel TV and Mowzey Radio say they are unbothered by Bebe Cool shooting and actually say they don’t give a damn if the super star dies, this is an OMG shocker. Ever since Bebe was shot last weekend, he has been bedridden and bleeding profusely. While other artistes including enemies like Bobi Wine and Mega Dee teamed up under the Uganda Musicians Federation, an umbrella that governs the musicians in Uganda, to show support to their ailing colleague Moses Ssali a.k.a Bebe Cool, who was shot over the weekend at Centenary Park, Radio and TV do not happen to share similar sentiments.

They have adamantly refused to make an appearance at Nsambya hospital where Bebe is admitted nursing his gun wounds. Efforts by fellow musicians to have the two stars visit Bebe have been futile. Singers Silver Kyagulanyi, Bobi Wine, Isaac Rucci and Ronald Mayinja met Radio on Tuesday at Emerald Hotel on Bombo Road to try and convince him to visit Bebe. He adamantly refused assuring them that they (Goodlyfe) will never visit Bebe Cool.

“In fact we don’t give a f*** if he even dies,” Radio allegedly told off the artistes before driving off. The morning of Bebe’s shooting; Goodlyfe slaughtered a he- goat to celebrate.

Wanted by Police
Following the shootout, Radio and Weasel, who have been linked to the shooting that night are said to have taken off to Rwanda, which many interpreted as an effort to run away from the arm of the law. Insiders said that Radio and Weasel skipped to Rwanda for fear that they would be pulled into the mess. They however claim that they had been booked for this concert earlier before the shootout. They say they couldn’t overturn their earlier appointments just because Bebe Cool got himself shot.

Efendys incident
The night Bebe Cool was shot; he had a run in with the Goodlyfe boys. He had showed up at Efendys to apparently promote his new hit Kasepiki at Efendys on Friday night which happens to be the Goodlyfe Nite. His presence was not exactly welcome and incensed Mowzey Radio and Weasel asked the management to throw him out. Bebe was asked to leave but he apparently refused which threatened to cause a scuffle and forced management to call Police Patrol to escort him out of the club. The shooting happened between Nakumatt and Centenary Park shortly after the scuffle at Efendys

Bebe had it coming
The pair who just returned from their trip to Rwanda, we are told, was on Tuesday evening summoned to Emrald Hotel by Bobi Wine, Ronald Mayinja, Mesach Ssemakula and Silver Kyagulanyi, a night before the press conference (called by Uganda Musicians Federation which took place on Wednesday.) The meeting was intended to convince them to join the rest of the music fraternity in a show of solidarity for their colleague who is in great pain. Radio turned up for the meeting at Emerald at around 11pm and in no uncertain terms asked them for a good reason as to why they should feel sorry for Bebe Cool. He branded Uganda Music Federation hypocrites.

“When Bebe was thumping us, no one cared, why should we go see him or support him for that matter?” Among the things he said was that Bebe Cool had what happened to him coming. ‘He always thumped us like we were kids and time had come for him to pay for his sins.’ They said the most recent atrocity against them was at Imperial Resort Beach where the ‘bogolako’ singer interfered with their show and went on to beat them up with his goons from Gagamel yet the federation did nothing to show solidarity. ‘The guy has always disrespected us and there is no way we can respect him when he is in pain. This is the best thing that could have happened to him,’ they said.

New 50 Cent Movie Goes for $2 Mil at Sundance

Twelve, the new Joel Schumacher movie starring 50 Cent, was recently bought at the Sundance Film Festival.

The New York Times reports that the film unit of Hannover House, an independent publisher and media company, purchased the drama for $2 million.

As previously reported, the flick, which is based on the 2002 novel of the same name, finds Fif portraying a Harlem drug-dealer named Lionel. 50’s character provides Gossip Girl heartthrob Chace Crawford with drugs to sell to his rich friends on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

The G-Unit general has several other film projects in the works. He is currently filming Gun with Val Kilmer and Jekyll and Hyde—a remake of the horror classic that he will co-star in with Forest Whitaker—is in pre-production according to imdb.com

Eve Named in Federal Money Laundering Case

Eve has been fingered in a massive money-laundering scheme, involving her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Teodorin Nguema Obiang.

According to ABC News, Obaing—who is the son of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea—is being accused of laundering millions of illegal funds in shell companies in the U.S.

A government report released yesterday (February 3) says that Obaing had Eve set up a fake company called “Sweet Pink, Inc.” in 2005 that may have been used to legitimize his money.

Obaing was known for flaunting his cash. In one instance he reportedly paid $700,000 to rent Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen’s 300-foot yacht to take Eve on a cruise around St. Barts.

Eve took to her twitter account earlier today to address the reports. “None of that is true,” she wrote. “Please don’t believe everything you read on the Internet. It’s negative and I don’t fuck with negativity. People tryna test me.”

FOXXY BROWN NAME CHECKING

A new track by Brooklyn rapper Foxy Brown hit the Internet today (Feb. 4).
The song, titled “Let Em Know” is the latest release from Foxy Brown and features M.O.P. group member Lil Fame and rapper BAM.
The 4 minute and five second track, which was produced by Easy Mo Bee, features Foxy name-checking a number of rappers during her verse.
Brown drops lines about Jay-Z, former boyfriend Rick Ross, Eve, Miami rapper Trina and longtime nemesis, Lil Kim.
A number of lines are aimed at some of the more popular female rappers of the day, but most seem to be directed at Lil Kim.
“I’d rather be in the club at the bar/then to disrespect my hood on Dancing With the Stars/Nah I’m in the hood taking chances with the Gods..”
Later Brown gets more aggressive with the lyrics, adding Eve to the list of names called out on the track.
"Slam a b**ch on her back like I’m John Cena/F**k that I aint Eve, I aint Kim, I aint Trina/BK’s own Diva/I give the whole hood face lifts/Go on and fix your face b***h/"
Foxy Brown’s last full length album was titled Brooklyn’s Don Diva and was released by Koch Records in May of 2008.
