Jim Jones has come out and said that he never talked to Cam’ron on the phone.  In a recent interview with Angela Yee, Jones said

“I don’t know what that’s about because everybody been telling me that and I’m the only one that don’t know about it. I don’t know what he’s talking about. If the money’s right we’ll talk.”

Ok why the hell would Cam’ron lie about talking to Jim Jones? Was it all in his mind? Was one of the Dipset members pretending to be Jones? Will Cam’ron’s album sales be affected? Does anyone know when Cam’ron’s album is coming out?  Does Cam’ron even have an album coming out?  Why the hell do I have two stories about Cam’ron and Jim Jones in the same week?

Chris Brown and Rihanna Get Back Together in Miami

It seems that Chris Brown and Rihanna are both in Miami.  And it seems that they are in close proximity to each other.

According to People.com

Pop star Rihanna was going another romantic round with R&B singer boyfriend Chris Brown less than three weeks after he allegedly used her as a punching bag, it was reported Friday. The Barbadian-born beauty – who had hits with “Umbrella” and “Disturbia” – and Brown were cozying up at one of hip-hop honcho Sean (Diddy) Combs’ homes on Miami Beach’s Star Island, People magazine said on its Web site.

“They’re together again. They care for each other,” an unidentified source gushed to the magazine. “While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves,” the source said.

The relationship apparently started warming up again after Brown called Rihanna last week to wish her a happy 21st birthday. Rihanna then reached out to Brown. “She doesn’t care about her image. She is so in love with that boy that it doesn’t matter,” said a source.

 

Brown, 19, has been lavishing Rihanna with jewels, designer shoes, a handbag and the video game “Guitar Hero” in an effort to make up. “It doesn’t matter what he buys her, though,” said the source. “She loves him. For his part, he knows he screwed up and he is going to try like hell to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

Rihanna’s father, Ronald Fenty, said he’s OK with them getting back together.”I love my daughter with whatever road she takes. I’m behind her win or lose. I will be supportive,” Fenty told Us Weekly magazine’s Web site from his home in Barbados.

Man this whole thing is beginning to get phony as hell to me.  I still believe that Rihanna and Chris Brown are puppets being controlled by PR people that are in the middle of their business partnership relationship.  This story needs to die.

Cam’ron and Jim Jones Have a Brief Talk on the Phone

Cam’ron and Jim Jones have been on the outs for a few years and it got really bad last year when Jones joined 50 Cent on stage while Cam’ron and 50 were beefing.  Jones had said in the past that he would like to put this mess in the past but Cam said that the 50 incident was too much to come back from.

Well it seems that while Cam’ron was calling the Diplomats’ Freekey Zekey Jim Jones answered the phone.  This is what Cam’ron told MTV.com about the conversation.

Cam’ron Says Juelz Is Hooked On Syrup

Cam’ron has came out of hiding to talk about everything including his relationship with Juelz Santana. In a new interview with Miss Info, the Dipset lead says

“Juelz started drinking syrup, Robitussin,” Cam’ron said  “He got hooked on it, addicted to it, you go to the studio he got, like, a hundred Hawaiian Punches already pre-mixed with the stuff in it. So I kinda stopped speaking to him like, we already smoked mad weed, we don’t need to be on Robitussin.”

Cam says he even hit up Juelz family saying

“I called his mother about it. I called his closest friends about it. They knew it, knew about it. They was like, ‘Yo Cam it’s not that bad’…I’m like yo, that’s like saying you just smoke a little bit of crack, it ain’t that much crack…So that’s kinda how I shot away from Juelz. It was even a point where Jim [Jones] called me like, ‘What’s going on with you and Juelz’…I said, he’s on drugs.”

50 Cent’s Poem About DJ Khaleds Mom

Rick Ross isn’t the only target 50 Cent has. Yesterday the G-Unit general continued his beef with DJ Khaled by releasing a new video in which he reads a poem titled “I Just Wanna Tell You What A Psychic Told Me” . In the poem 50 says

“I know where your mama house at. Now look, you can see. But I just wanna tell you what a psychic told me” as the video shows a house, continuing “I know where your mama work at, now look at her, asleep. I just wanna tell you what a psychic told me.”

The video then shows footage of a woman asleep at a job with pictures of Khaled on her desk.

Although the video is pretty humorous, 50 did end the new footage with a warning to Khaled. “I’m not the kinda n*gga you should f*ck with, B. I’m special. I have less compassion than the average human.”

Juelz Hits Cam’ron Back “He Was Doing Percocet”

As we previously reported, Cam’ron took a few shots at Juelz Santana in the new issue of XXL. Among other things, Cam’ron says he stopped talking to Juelz Santana because he became addicted to syrup after beign on tour with Lil Wayne. Now it’s time for Juelz to react. Santana says “He just wanted to say something and that was probably the only way he could say something and keep his character up. I was never addicted to syrup. I used to drink it on occasion.”

Juelz says he was suprized by Cam’s statements saying

“I don’t know where that came from. [His comments] were a shocker to me, like, ‘Damn, you would stoop low like that?’ With his stomach situation, he was doing Percocet. It’s not for me to say, ‘Because he was using Percocet, I stopped speaking to Cam.’ You’ll say, ‘I do Percocet because of my stomach.’ But I’ve seen you do Percocet when your stomach is not bothering you. So that’s besides the point.”

Diddy, Russell Simmons Win NAACP Image Awards

Sean “Diddy” Combs and pioneer mogul Russell Simmons were Hip-Hop’s biggest winners at the 2009 NAACP Image Awards.

The taped event was broadcast last night (February 12) from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Combs picked up Best Actor in a Television Movie honors for his work in the well-received, 2008 adaption of Lorraine Hansberry’s timeless play A Raisin in the Sun.

Combining a talented cast of actors in Phylicia Rashad, Sanaa Lathan, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Audra McDonald, the film brought in an audience of 12 million for its initial February 2008 airing.

Simmons took home the coveted Vanguard Award, which is given to those “whose ground breaking work increases understanding and awareness of racial and social issues.”

Through the non-profit Hip-Hop Summit Action Network, Simmons utilizes the uniting force of Hip-Hop culture to advocate education, financial literacy, and social empowerment for young people.

“Russell is deserving of this prestigious award because he has used the power of Hip-Hop to reach and inspire our nation’s youth,” stated Clayola Brown, NAACP Image Awards Chairwoman. “Combined with his ongoing commitment to strengthening relations between ethnic communities and his generous charitable spirit, Russell was a natural choice to receive the honor.”

The 40^th annual NAACP Awards was hosted by Halle Berry and Tyler Perry, and also marked the 100^th anniversary of the organization.

Nas confirmed that he will appear on Dr Dre’s highly anticipated album, Detox. Nas says one said with Dre is already done. “I did a joint. I think it’s crazy.” Nas tells Billboard.

In recently news, other guests that have been rumored to be on Dre’s upcoming album include Lil’ Wayne and Jay-Z. Dre had previously said the album would be coming late last year “In a perfect world, I’m shooting for a November or December release.” Dre continued “I just make the music feel the way I want it to feel and I don’t put it out until I’m totally happy with it. Then it does what it does.” Since that interview, Jimmy Iovine (head of Interscope Records) said that Detox did not have a release date and Eminem’s new album “Relapse” would be coming first.
