Charlotte Police have now arrested six suspects in connection with the shooting -- each is charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon and two felonies of shooting into occupied property. Each is being held on at least $200,000 bond.


One of the suspects is aspiring rapper Antonio Stukes, who was shot in the shoulder by one of Waka's security guards. Stukes tells WCNC that he was an innocent bystander, who was caught in the crossfire and was merely trying to get his demo CD to Waka Flocka.

Waka's publicist, Kali Bowyer said, "We are pleased with the attentiveness by the Charlotte Police Department in capturing these individuals in such a timely manner. It is such a shame that one would risk the lives of innocent women and children in hopes of stealing one's jewelry."

Lil Kim Will Do Track With Nicki Minaj if it Means Money

Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim to produce a track together after all the beef? 
Well not quite just yet, but it may still be a possibility in the future.

Lil Kim is doing all she can to keep her name in the blogs and Hip Hop News. She says she will consider doing a track with "Everything about me is fake Nicki Minaj" for the right price. This is never going to happen it is just words to keep Lil Kim in the spotlight which is dimming very quickly. The Old heads don’t buy music anymore and rarely go to live appearances, so all that leaves is the young crowd to entertain and sell music to, which is a hard thing to do if you are real hip hop. Lil Kim is too real for them.

When asked if there is any possibilty that she would ever do a track with Nicki Minaj Lil Kim had this to say:

"The only way that’s gonna happen is it’s definitely gonna take a check. At the end of the day, I’m a boss. I was a hustler before I was an entertainer. What I mean by that is, I love music–love, love, love music. I love entertaining, I love being in the industry, but the truth of the matter is if music and the industry didn’t bring me money, this would not be my first occupation. I also am a businesswoman and I know that living life, you have to eat. If the industry was designed where you didn’t make money from it, it was just music to produce, I would still do it, but it wouldn’t be my first occupation."

Usher in a Monster of a Song Rights Scandle Battle


Usher Raymond
Usher has been pulled into a lawsuit by a student songwriter who has alleged he was cheated out of ownership rights for the hip hop star's hit number 'Monster'. 

The 'Yeah!' hitmaker included the song in his 2010 release Raymond vs Raymond, but Kameron Glasper claims he was conned into signing away half of his interest in the tune, which was part of a 10-track package deal he entered into in 2009 for Legendary Poets Music Publishing.

Glasper, also known as Kam Parker, insisted he was a "young, inexperienced college student" trying to break into the music industry when he agreed to the contract with publishing company owner Bethel Harris.

He alleged that Harris "exploited" his talents and claimed to be "the only person that Usher Raymond's representatives would negotiate with for the song Monster", reported Contact music.

Legendary Poets shut down in February 2010 – before relaunching that summer - and Glasper argues his contract should be dissolved too.



Check out Usher's album Raymond Vs Raymond which includes the hit singles "OMG", "Monster", "Hey Daddy, (Daddy's Home)" and "Hot Tottie" which features Jay-Z.

Jamie Fox and Ex Manager Fight at Usher Concert

Jamie Foxx had a battle royale with his former manager at an Usher concert in Hollywood. According to One witness "Jamie and the other guy started fighting about half way through Usher’s set at around 11.30pm. The fight spilled to the outside area and I don’t think Usher even noticed because the place was so packed with people.When they got outside security intervened and after some cops approached both men seemed to make-up with one another before they leaving the scene."

This type of altercation is unusual for the normally laid-back star, but I’ll tell you one thing: I wouldn’t want to piss him off. His publicist does not want to comment at this time about the situation, but you know the details will unfold sooner or later as to what happened. Don’t worry about Jamie Foxx, as it seems no charges where pressed. Thank goodness. For all we know it could have been just two really big egos in the middle of some testosterone-fueled fight. It had to be bad for Jamie to step out of character like that. Every time I see Jamie at an event he always seems to be a ladies man. Very social.

After the show Damien Dante Wayans, nephew to Damon and Keenan Ivory Wayans,  said he saw the fight inside and described it as "a little altercation … between two friends." 

Singer / Actor Jamie Foxx

Perhaps the two were able to hug it out after all. The Usher concert went off without a hitch in spite of the drama that unfolded. I guess Usher didn’t miss a beat, and neither did Jamie. I imagine people near the altercation got a great two for One deal they got to watch Usher perform live in concert and got to see the debut of Jamie Foxx the fighter in his debut fight, I'm sure people would have paid to watch either of these events. All kidding aside, hopefully Jamie Foxx and his ex-manager can settle this without lawsuits and lawyers.
