Storm Brewing Between Kelis & Nas

Posted: 22 Jul 2009 11:23 PM PDT

We all know that the two have not exactly been on speaking terms since their breakup a few months ago. Kelis claimed that she was reliant on Nas’ money and needed some to help maintain the lifestyle she’s become accustomed to. That lifestyle by the way entails a $20,000 stroller and a regular allowance to pay for living expences and nanny service. Having a baby isn’t cheap these days.

Well after all of that drama I had expected Nas had just paid her off some of what she wanted and that was the end of it. Well no such luck cause’ today Kelis went into labour and delivered a healthy baby boy. Nas on the other hand was not called, notified or even invited to the hospital to see his baby.

Sounds to me like the drama has just begun here.

Obama’s “United We Serve” Get’s a Hip-Hop Boost

Posted: 22 Jul 2009 10:15 AM PDT

On June 22, 2009 United States president Barack Obama announced his “United We Serve” program. A system by which people from all over the US can get together and learn more about charity work going on in their communities.

Well it has been a month since the program began and it is still in its infant stages. So some of our hip hop celebrities decided to get together and help promote the heck out of this to get the ball rolling.

Will.I.Am, Tyrese and Sean Kingston are here helping get the word out to America.

If you want to get involved in the program check out the United We Serve Website for more information.
