UPDATE: Back in May, it seemed like Jas Prince’s lawsuit against YMCMB was over. Apparently, that’s not the case. TMZ is reporting that although he recently filed documents to dismiss his Florida federal lawsuit against Birdman and Aspire Music Group, he plans to file again in New York. Prince is seeking millions in unpaid royalties and claims to be the one who brought Drake to Young Money. In May, word got out that a judge had thrown out the case; and last month, it was revealed that a settlement deal had been reached with at least two of Aspire's shareholders. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ PREVIOUSLY: Jas Prince: Birdman Owes Me Millions The legal discord keeps getting worse over at Cash Money Records.

FLORENCE, Colo. (WLS) -- The murder of 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee led an Illinois congressman in search of peace to a supermax prison. Congressman Bobby Rush went to the most secure prison in the United States - ADMAX prison in Florence, Colorado - to meet with two inmates who founded the gangs at the center of a dispute that police say triggered Tyshawn's murder one week ago. "Right now, as I see it, they're part of the solution, not part of the problem," said Rep. Bobby Rush. The reverend/congressman Bobby Rush was in full pastoral dress as he talked with Larry Hoover and Abdul Malik Kabah - formerly known as Jeff Fort - about Tyshawn Lee, the targeted 9-year-old murder victim. "They knew about it and were appalled at it," Rush said. Hoover, who co-founded the Gangster Disciples, has been in prison since a 1973 murder conviction. He was transferred to ADMAX for running a drug ring from an Illinois prison. Fort formed the Black P-Stone Nation in the...

BEIRUT: A Saudi prince and four others were detained on Monday in Lebanon in the largest drug bust in the history of the Beirut airport, a security source said. Saudi prince Abdel Mohsen Bin Walid Bin Abdulaziz and four others were detained by airport security while allegedly “attempting to smuggle about two tons of Captagon pills and some cocaine,” a security source told AFP. “The smuggling operation is the largest one that has been foiled through the Beirut International Airport,” the source said on condition of anonymity. Captagon is the brand name for the amphetamine phenethylline, a synthetic stimulant. The banned drug is consumed mainly in the Middle East and has reportedly been widely used by fighters in Syria. I am a prince and I do what I want, said drugged-up Saudi royal The security source said the drugs had been packed into cases that were waiting to be loaded onto a private plane that was headed to Saudi Arabia. The five Saudi citizens were still in the airport and...

Meek Mill apparently has been granted the authority to kick Wale out of MMG, because he seemingly did just that on his instagram account.

Lil Wayne had a front row seat watching Floyd Mayweather beat Manny Pacquiao. He also watched the Ravens beat the 49ers in the 2013 Super Bowl. He even watched the finals of the NCAA Women's Tourney. And he stiffed the ticket brokers ... allegedly. Tickets of America and White Glove International claim Wayne got $119,400 worth of tickets and never paid a cent. According to the lawsuit, Wayne got tickets for the following events: -- Mayweather vs. Pacquiao $67,500 -- Super Bowl XLVII $14,000 -- MTV Video Music Awards $4,000 -- Heat vs. Hawks $11,000 -- Lakers vs. Rockets $11,100 -- Clippers vs. Rockets $11,300 And this is sad ... NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four -- a measly $500. The suit claims Wayne got the tickets between February 2013 and June 2015. The suit names Young Money and Wayne's manager, Cortez Bryant, but not the rapper himself. We reached out to Wayne. So far no word back.

Dame Dash seems to always have a new business venture up his sleeve and with the success of past endeavors, I would not be surprised if his latest business plan takes off. Dame has been working on a streaming service–Dame Dash Studios–for some time now and it is set to launch on September 1st! @copacetic_LB || @TatWza Those with a business sense have to respect the grind that Dame is constantly on. Before anyone jumps to conclusions, this streaming service that Dame is about to embark on is nothing like Jay-Z’s Tidal. While Tidal is strictly to promote music and help increase artist revenue, Dame’s service will stream all music and films that he has the rights to. As far as film is concerned, customers can expect new content to be provided with the service as Dame is currently in the works in producing several projects. According to the man himself, he wants to give the people an outlet to watch the films they want to see and more importantly things that they need to see. For ins...

Last month we shared a story on a Cleveland woman, 37 year-old Ralkina Jones, who was discovered dead in her jail cell. Police have just released the video of Ralkina roughly about 15 hours before she died. She discussed her special medical needs with the Cleveland Heights officers saying “I’m not asking for any exception to any rules, but I will tell you this: I don’t want to die in your cell.” Jones was initially brought in for assault, child endangerment, and domestic violence charges after an altercation with her ex husband. Jones notified the officers that she suffered from Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and of her mandatory prescriptions stating “What happens is, when I go from a sitting to a standing position, I faint.” She was sent to the hospital after officials noticed she was looking out of it and was later brought back to her jail cell where she became unresponsive. Her initial autopsy revealed that there was “no suspicious injuries” but the Jone...
