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.
