T.I. Covers VIBE + Waka Flocka Skips Out On Charity Event?!

T.I. did an interview with VIBE before he went away to prison. We've got the cover and interview highlights, plus deets on Waka Flocka skipping a charity show in Florida when you read on...

T.I. talked about his drug habit, being treated unfairly, and Eminem in the upcoming issue of VIBE. The rapper covered the December edition and here's a few highlights:

VIBE: I’ve heard you mention how the good that you’ve done is easily forgotten. Do you feel that you’ve been treated unfairly?
T.I. "If I place my value in the way humans treat me, then maybe. But they’re human, man―they can’t help themselves. They do that to people they know personally. So how can I expect them to treat me, only knowing me through television? They did that to Jesus. They did that to Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali. They did it to every great person you could possibly think of. When it was all good, they was with them. When things got bad, then they was against them."

VIBE: But in this case things didn’t “get bad.” It’s something you did.
T.I. "Let me just say this: [he sits up on the couch] If you look at a guy who came up, no pops in the house, moms on welfare, food stamps; started selling dope when he was 12, 13 years old, came up handling guns, being in shoot-outs; started going to jail when he was 15. In all of this chaos and this mischief and lawlessness, the person who was just in jail for machine guns and silencers turns his life around. And now you want to crucify him ―for what? Three pills. I mean, of course it’s wrong and unacceptable and inexcusable. No problem. But in the grand scheme of things, it’s rather petty. It’s rather petty to hold someone’s feet to the fire for something so small when they have overcame things that were so big. All that could have been going wrong―if I was riding with more guns, or if I had gotten into a shoot-out and killed somebody, then I could see that. But just think about it. I’ve gotten it down to this much."

VIBE: How did you get a drug habit?
T.I. "I had a lot of work done to my teeth. Oral surgery, extractions, six, seven, eight root canals. Between January to February. As soon as I got out, I had a lot of stuff done. In the joint, you eat shit that is unhealthy for you. I had fillings that fell out and stuff that had to get dealt with. Of course for the pain they gave me oxycontin and hydrocodone. And, mind you, on October 13, 2007, I had cut off everything―weed, alcohol. Then I get these pills and I start taking them for the pain at first. And then I’m like, Wait―this shit makes me feel good. And it’s legal. After the pain went away, I kept taking it. I had like five, six prescriptions. So I had, like 80 pills. Everybody else might have a drink or smoke a blunt, I took a pain pill. Times when I had 18-, 20-hour days, I’d take a pain pill. And eventually I developed―I guess―the beginning stages of dependence."

VIBE: Have you talked to Eminem about addiction?
T.I. "Sure. We got a record together, and we talked a lot. I asked him how he knew he was an addict. Basically if you put yourself in harm’s way… if you risk that, you’ve got to assume that there is something fundamentally wrong with your thought process."

Let's hope T.I. can get over his drug addiction during his stint in prison. The issue hits stands November 30th.

250 fans were disappointed when Waka Flocka Flame failed to perform at a charity event in Florida. The rapper had a dispute with the promoters over $10k in cash. The promoter claims that there was nothing in the contract that stated he had to pay Waka $10k.

He also claims that Waka Flocka didn't make any of his scheduled appearances during the day. The promoter is looking to sue Waka Flocka to get their deposit back and work something out for the fans who showed up.
This isn't the first time Waka Flocka has been the subject of lawsuits with promoters. This Florida event is another in the long lists of disputes Waka has with promoters. It's a shame he couldn't perform a charity event over $10k.

Christina Milian Reaches $4 Million Divorce Settlement With The Dream

Christina Milian and her daughter Violet can finally move onto the second phase of their lives as she has finally reached a divorce settlement with ex-husband The Dream. Get the deets inside...

In a recent statement , Christina's attorney Randy Kessler revealed that the former couple reached their agreement in a "peaceful" manner.
Now, the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Christina is expected to get a one-time payment of $4 million dollars plus $5,000 a month in child support for their daughter Violet in exchange for an ironclad promise to never say one word about The Dream or their relationship. Sounds peaceful enough to me.
Kessler said, "Ms. Milian strongly believes that peaceful resolution is better for their child and that she is very pleased with the settlement and that it was accomplished out of court."
The couple officially split up last January, with The-Dream releasing an emotional statement claiming that their relationship was "unsuccessful," and Christina saying that he was guilty of adultery.
And though The-Dream claimed that he attempted to commit suicide in July, because he was so distraught over their divorce, photos later surfaced of him and his personal assistant Melissa Santiago vacationing together. SMH.
Seems like Christina has the support of her mom so she won't be totally alone as a single mother. Good luck Chris!

Nicki Minaj & Her Rainbow Wig Hit "106 & Park"

Nov 23 | by Natasha

Nicki's always looking for a way to make people talk. And I guess these multi colored wigs and ASSet baring outfits made up of different textures and patterns and colors all slapped together is her way of doing that.

We've got pics of her hitting up "106 & Park" to say wassup to the kiddies and pub Pink Friday when you read on...
Now that her album Pink Friday is officially on shelves, Ms. Minaj is still making her rounds on the scene:

She got rainbow happy with her bottom dipped wig yesterday on BET's "106". And kicked it with Terrence and Rocsi and the audience:

Interesting.

There's a lot going on here. But apparently the kids like it. Did you cop Pink Friday?

Nicki Minaj Promotes "Pink Friday" Lipstick At MAC + Kanye West Covers COMPLEX Magazine

This week the music industry is pink with Nicki Minaj fever. She hit up the MAC store today in Times Square, NYC to promote Pink Friday Lipstick, part of another promotional tie-in to her album release. See pics inside plus the new Kanye West cover for COMPLEX Magazine...

At her MAC launch, Nicki rocked a white mink coat with rainbow tresses and a black and tan dress.

Pink Friday lipstick goes on sale on MAC's website beginning November 26th, with the limited edition only available on the four Friday's in December 2010.

Nicki’s new documentary “My Time Now” is hitting MTV airwaves on November 28th at 10pm Eastern. In it she’s revealing her more private side as Onika Miraj.
Nicki explained,

"They're gonna meet Onika. Everybody sees Nicki Minaj; they're gonna meet Onika. They're gonna hear my story, and it's such an inspirational story, which I never really wanted to tell. 'Cause everyone always feels like you don't want people to know too much. But when I saw what [MTV and production company @radical.media] did, I thought, 'People need to see this.' It reminds you that everyone always feels like this is it, but there's always a light at the end of the tunnel, and I feel like that's what the doc says at the end."

In other music news, Kanye West covers the latest issue of COMPLEX Magazine.

In the issue, some of the rapper's friends talk about working with him.

Nicki Minaj, who collaborated with him on “Monster” said:

“He’s a legend in hip-hop and in pop culture and to be on his album is a blessing. I don’t even remember him ever working with a female rapper, so to be on an album and on a record this monstrous? I couldn’t have planned it better in a perfect world.”

Kanye and Common in candid moment.

Kid Cudi talked about the studio process with Kanye:

“It’s very casual; we’re all creative people, so it’s not a stressful thing for us to create in the studio. We’re not in there pulling our hair out. We all have good ideas, and that’s why the records usually come out the way they come out - everybody adds their flavor, and it ends up being a masterpiece.”

Diddy & Cassie Have A BOA Date Night

Aside from focusing on Diddy looking like he's straight out of one of his own late 90's metallic bubble suit wearing videos, we noticed Diddy left the same dinner spot as Cassie last night. Even though they left separately

Date night for Diddy and Cassie! The twosome who act like they're not a couple were spotted leaving BOA steakhouse last night after a dinner date.

Pics when you read on...

We spy "House of Glam" stylist (and Biggie's former stylist) Groovy Lou in the background.

And Cassie looked furry and cute while leaving out. Cute look.

Report Says Fantasia Drops A Doozy In Court: I Aborted My Lover Antwaun's Baby!

Didn't see this ish coming. Fantasia took the stand yesterday in the court case involving Paula Cook--the wife of her lover Antwaun Cook. Paula is suing her husband for cheating, and Fantasia was frced to take the stand to prove she indeed knew Antwaun was married when they initially got together.

Details on the bombs Fanny dropped on the stand when you read on...
Fantasia admitted yesterday, after denying for several months, that, upon initially meeting Antwaun, she indeed knew he was married and still living with his wife, Paula. CNN reports:

The singer testified that she knew from the first day of her relationship with Cook that he was married and still living with his wife, according to two sources who were in the courtroom. The sources asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the information.
Barrino publicly acknowledged the relationship last summer, but she insisted then that she did not know Cook was a married man.
Paula Cook alleged in a court filing that her husband and Barrino engaged in a year-long affair in which her husband enjoyed "the lavish benefits associated with the high-profile relationship."

That's a problem not only because of a moral issue, but because Paula has now proven Antwaun cheated--which means that thanks to North Carolina law, she can sue both her soon to be ex-husband 'Twaun and Fantasia. And, let's face it, we broke the story about Antwaun being married and details of how they met (back when everyone called us a liar) last year, and we know Fanny reads the internets.
But that's not all that went down. According to Radar Online, Fantasia revealed that she and Antwaun had gotten pregnant, and she aborted the baby:

Fantasia Barrino has admitted she got pregnant by her married lover Antwaun Cook and had an abortion around the time of her failed suicide attempt...

We held off on reporting this part yesterday as we wanted to await the actual court transcripts to surface, but they are yet to be found. Goodness. I need a cigarette and I don't even smoke....
