We just got a report in that President of Music and Entertainment Programming Reginald Hudlin was fired from BET Networks by Viacom executives.
Lil’ Wayne Is Too Large For Black Paparazzi?
This makes me wonder if Wayne would act this way towards a photographer from People Magazine. Who knows though, the guy could’ve been a jackass to Wayne before the camera started rolling. Perhaps they’ve ran into each other before? Does it even matter? Lil’ Wayne drops the F-bomb on this guy (the gay slur) and [...]

Vegas Anchors Fire Back At Solange
Remember when Solange let that reporter have it when she thought that she her introduction was being tied into Jay-Z’s business drama? Well, the anchors at Fox in Las Vegas got back at her by calling her a “brat” and telling her to stop trying to eat off of her sister’s fame.

Digiwaxx Changes Web Address…For Now
After the hack job someone did on the digiwaxx site, the company has gotten its operations back together by switching URLs.

Nas vs. Fox Day

It was a pretty decent speech although many would think that he could just be trying to drive more people to the record store to buy his album.
