The Urban Daily — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 04:19:16 +0000

Hide your wife kids, hide your wife! Antoine Dodson, who became an overnight sensation from the now infamous YouTube clip, is using his fame to launch his musical career. Dodson teams up with artist Brent Morgan for a track titled “Lovesick Lullaby.” Even though Dodson’s vocals seem to be assisted by Autotune, the song seems pretty decent.

What say you readers? Does Dodson have a career in music, or should he stick to calling out would-be criminals?

News: Drake, Rick Ross, Soulja Boy & More Suffer Fake Death Reports

djkayotik — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 02:16:20 +0000

Young Money star Drake, Rick Ross and Soulja Boy Tell Em all made overnight headlines with false reports circulating online claiming they were all dead.

The fabricated claims all started when reports stated Hollywood star Eddie Murphy died last night (February 3).

Drake is not dead, nor is Rick Ross, LeBron James, Eddie Murphy and Soulja Boy. Drake and the four other celebrities all battled fake death reports overnight. While fans have grown tired of online efforts to fictitiously report their favorite celebrities died, someone last night took it upon themselves to kill off not just Drake but four other male celebrities, in one evening. Friday began with false claims that Eddie Murphy had died. But by evening, as that false report was put to sleep, another fake death report struck Drake and Rick Ross simultaneously. Meantime, the remains of a fake report about Soulja Boy and LeBron James individually were still picking up pace. (LA Late)

Following the speculation, media gossip website TMZ debunked Murphy’s death reports.

Celebrity Web site TMZ verified that Murphy was in fact alive after MediaFetcher.com triggered the false report. Several other celebrities have been claimed dead in false reports. Those celebrities include Adele, Rick Ross, LeBron James, Jon Bon Jovi, Charlie Sheen, Adam Sandler, Too Short, Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Bacon, Luke Perry, Jack Black, Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Tom Green, Mac Miller, Tiger Woods, and George Clooney to name a few.

Drizzy’s healthy status was exposed when he appeared at a Super Bowl XLVI event yesterday.

We are not sure what sparked this death rumor but the “Marvin’s Room” rapper is very much alive! Just last night Drizzy was celebrating and gearing up for the upcoming Super Bowl. Drake hit the red carpet for ESPN’s ‘NEXT’ Event at the Oliver Street Building in Indianapolis and he looks very alive and well to us. He strutted his stuff and was too cool for school with his superstar shades. The Young Money artist just dropped his video for his single “Practice” yesterday so perhaps Twitter deaths are a sign that your popularity has risen and you’re on the right track? (Global Grind)

Coincidentally, Rick Ross suffered two seizures last fall which caused an online uproar centered on his medical status.

“On the flight, I had a seizure and when I snapped out of it and they had told me what happened, I’m like, ‘You bugging. Call the jet, we finna keep it moving.’ … I felt a little wore out but I felt like I could keep going and that’s what it was,” Ross told “106 & Park” hosts Terrence J and Rocsi. “I boarded a jet and I had another seizure and when I snapped out of that one, I woke up in front of a doctor and he asked me basically, ‘When was the last time you slept eight hours?’ And I said it had to have been at least five years. … I would get two hours of sleep and keep moving — me being the hustler. That has to stop. I was fortunate enough, the doctor ran a battery of tests on me from cancer, diabetes, HIV, et cetera, et cetera and I came back totally healthy.” (“106 & Park”)

Pay Yo Bills… Lil Kim Owes Uncle Sam Over $1 Milli In Back Taxes!!!

djkayotik — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 01:22:34 +0000

Damn. Wait til Nicki Minaj finds out about this. Lil Kim is having serious money problems.

According to SOURCES:

Lil Kim is going to the tax lien Hall of Fame — because the Queen Bee has run her bill with Uncle Sam into the seven figures … Sources have learned.

Lil Kim’s tax problems are well-documented and go back nearly 10 years. According to documents filed with the L.A. Recorder’s Office, Kim owes money every year from 2002-2009.

The 2009 amount, $86347.85, was just recently tacked on — bringing her total $1,026,862.42.

Calls to Lil Kim’s rep were not returned.

SMH… Sorry boo, all that plastic surgery is not tax deductible!

Well Lil Kim’s folks might not be speaking to Source but they sent us the following response to the allegations.

Per Team Lil Kim:

It is a known fact that for some time Source has been running stories on celebrities or well known persons of interest and providing the general public and media with publicly accessible information on random celebrities and their private matters with the internal revenue service,this does not come as a surprise, as it is Tax Season and is a sell-able media opportunity,it is for no other reason that Kimberly Jones(aka: LIL KIM) is now the target of such random media scrutiny.As it pertains to the story that was ran onTMZ(February 4,2012)regarding Lil Kim, we would like to inform fans,media, and the general public,that LIL KIM has hired professional attorneys to handle this matter(embellished by all standards via the media), and that she,along with her team of legal experts are working cooperatively and diligently with the I.R.S and federal authorities to amicably resolve the situation.

There you have it. Kim is handling her business. Hope she finds a way to pay it back because Uncle Sam doesn’t play about his money, just ask Wesley Snipes and Ronald Isley.

Jazze — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:41:52 +0000

Actor/Comedian Tracy Morgan who is reported worth 18 million dollars is refusing to help his mother keep her home from going into foreclosure. His mother owes 25k on the house and she asked Tracy to pay the bill and he only offered 2k to allow her to stay in the house longer to try and work things out. After receiving this offer his mother refused and not she has decided to go public with this interview.

Tracy Morgan is refusing to speak on this issue and has stated that he hasnt seen his mother in over a decade. He also talk about their relationship in his book. Sometimes its hard to tell your family “no” but sometimes they can be the worst leeches! Especially if they only come around when they need something. I hope they are able to work this out eventually.
