Lil Wayne's Manager Speaks About Drake Karu & Y Concert That Won't Occur

This is about all you'll be seeing of Drake for a while

Crossfade recently revealed that hip-hop star Drake will not grace Karu & Y with his presence this Friday, and we have since done some research on the situation.

No young rapper in the game is hotter than Drake right now, and no segment of his fan base is more hot-headed currently than those in South Florida. It was with great consternation that New Times confirmed that an upcoming date featuring the clean-cut Toronto native -- a March 12 show at Miami's Karu & Y -- was not happening.

According to Drake's manager, Cortez Bryant, the scheduled concert was the latest in a series of bogus promoters hoping to grab money out of unwitting music fans' pockets. "They're playing like they're people from our camp," says Bryant, who also counts South Florida-based Lil Wayne among his clients.

Unfortunately, it's no surprise that Aubrey Drake Graham's star would get swiped for nefarious purposes. After getting started as an actor on Canadian teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation from 2001-09, Drake's now a near ubiquity on pop radio singles outside the Ke$ha-sphere. "Best I Ever Had" from his So Far Gone mixtape turned EP reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 last year, and an ever-lengthening string of collaborations with the likes of Mary J. Blige, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Eminem, and the Weezy-led Young Money collective ensure that a guy who has yet to release an official full-length album still can build a following with musicians and music fans alike.

Promoter Natalie Refuse of Bossladyz Production Inc., who posted the March 12 flier boosting a Haiti benefit featuring Drake as the headliner, plus Mac Maine, Nikki Minaj, and DJ Khaled, says her company is not to blame for the faulty date. According to Refuse, she signed what she thought was a real contract for a Haiti orphanage benefit back in December, before the January 12 earthquake upped the event's gravitas. She says that a local booking agent set up several fake shows and that a group of angry promoters reportedly caught up with the man at Miami Beach club Mansion in late February.

"They tried to duct-tape him and put him in the trunk of a car and knocked his tooth out," Refuse tells New Times. Local police put the kibosh on the violence, but the man didn't press charges, Refuse says. Now, Bossladyz is trying to regroup and regain confidence with R&B star Mario as the Haiti benefit performer at Karu & Y on the same night. "I was in tears for days," Refuse says. "I was trying to do this charitable deed but got swindled. Every single person who bought a ticket, I refunded 100 percent."

Bryant shares in her frustration. "I don't want the fans to think that it's us doing these things," he says. "These things put a bad taste in the market. People start second-guessing. We're not here to let down the fans." Although Bryant makes it clear that Drake loves visiting South Florida, there's no date on the rapper's upcoming solo tour, which hits college campuses throughout April and early May. "We'll be back in Miami close to Memorial Day," Bryant says, which coincides with tentative plans for the release of Drake's debut album, Thank Me Later. "But we don't have a solid date yet."

Lloyd set free with Interscope deal

Former Murder Inc singer Lloyd is free to wreak havoc on the charts and radio thanks to a new deal with Interscope Records !

Known best for the singles "You" and "Get It Shawty," Lloyd was close to signing a deal with Young Money/Cash Money but opted out due to Lil Wayne, Birdman, Drake and Jay Sean camp's affiliation with former distributor Universal/Motown.

'The problem is that Young Money/ Cash Money is exclusive to Universal/ Motown. As you and I know, that's where I did my last two albums," Lloyd told MTV last week. "I wasn't excited about going back. I tried to do a Young Money/ Cash Money deal through another distributor, but it couldn't be done. At the end of the day, I'm still family, though."

Kicking things off, Lloyd debuted a single titled "Set Me Free" Friday, March 12.

Featuring recently released Grammy nominated rapper, Mystikal, "Set Me Free" follows Lloyd's Young Money collaboration and chart-topping single "Bedrock".

While "Set Me Free" is currently in rotation on music related blogs, Lloyd is in no rush to release his next album.

"Signing with Interscope was just a small step," says Lloyd. "This year I'm really focused on a classic album and staying in the public eye with more guest features. I have a few surprise collaborations coming."

Since 2004, Lloyd has released three albums, including 2007's Gold-certified "Street Love". He has also worked with top Hip Hop recording stars, including Lil Wayne, Ja Rule, Rick Ross, Lil Scrappy, Young Money, Fabolous, Chamillionaire, and Ace Hood.

TYPICAL!!! R&B SINGER OMARION HAS A NEW GIRLFRIEND . . . AND NO . . . SHE AIN'T A SISTER!!!

DO THEY REALLY LOOK LIKE THE PERFECT COUPLE, WE'LL SEE.

MTO WORLD EXCLUSIVE: BEYONCE ADMITS SHE HAS A PRE-NUP WITH JAY Z . . . SAYS SHE FEELS PRESSURE IN HER MARRIAGE TO STAY BEAUTIFUL!!!

March 14, 2010. Here is a translation of a recent interview Beyonce did with German Magazine NEON. WOW!!!

Interviewer: Is your life easier since you are multimillionaire?

Beyonce: The fear of the student, have no future, being dependent on her boyfriend, objectively weigh heavier than the fears that torment me. Only music from subjective feeling arises - and subjective fears, many musicians have lost. We feel pain and depression, just like other people. What separates us, is perhaps the price of butter. But all that is essential, I feel like every hard working woman.

Interviewer: For example?

Beyonce: For example, I believe that in my relationship with Jay-Z – as in any genuine relationship – not everything is easy. I want children – not now, later. He’s entirely not aware of that fact yet. I want to sit around at home, also times in a tracksuit pants. He assumes and believes that women even wear high heels just to go to the bathroom.

Interviewer: Apparently Jay-Z has to pay you ,in the case of a separation after two years of marriage, ten million dollars, for each additional year of marriage is added an additional one million.

Beyonce: Anyone who thinks so because of what? I do not deny that there is a marriage contract. I would encourage any woman getting married to put on such a treaty, it will gain more influence on self-esteem. For details, I don't express myself . I am not here on trial.

Review: Jay-Z goes electric at Nassau Coliseum

Deep into his Nassau Coliseum show, Jay-Z called an audible.

"We're going into overtime here," he said, to roars of approval. Why not? Jay was having a grand time, bobbing and weaving between the well-crafted rap that built his reputation and the pop-leaning stuff that built his bank account. He was also clearly in awe of the hero's welcome he received, as many of his fans shouted along with...

Lady Gaga and Beyoncé "Telephone" music video: The fashion revealed

The highly anticipated and long awaited TELEPHONE music video has been released starring Lady Gaga and Beyoncé. This 9 minute video had a team of professionals who worked to coordinate each segment and every look from head to toe and you know if Gaga is involved the fashion is sure to "WOW" us. The looks were styled by Nicola Formichetti. Nicola has quite an impressive resume working as the Fashion director of VOGUE HOMMES JAPAN, Creative director of DAZED & CONFUSED and Contributing fashion editor of V, V MAN, ANOTHER ,ANOTHER MAN. He was joined by make-up artist Billy B and hair stylist Danilo. Jonas Akerlund directed the video.

Lets take a closer look at the fashion worn by Lady Gaga and Beyoncé in the hit song Telephone on the CD Fame Monster available for purchase on I Tunes.

The wardrobe styling has multiple references and influences. Some obvious inspirations include Batman, Wonder Woman, Madonna mixed in with some bad girl version of the movie Thelma & Louise.

As you watch the video see how many brand names you can catch. The product placement acts as an advertisement built into a video.

Michael Jackson's furniture offered in Planet Hollywood auction

At the three-day auction on June 25, buyers can make bids on 22 pieces of furniture that Jackson owned.

How about a wooden-carved, red velvet sofa with 24-carat gold leaf that seats 9 (estimated at $150,000)?

How about his iconic jeweled Swarovski crystal glove (estimated at $30,000)?

Or in the more affordable category -- a pair of sunglasses (estimated at $4,000)?

The collection will be offered along with other items from famed musicians at Planet Hollywood.

Jackson's furniture, which will tour Ireland in an exhibition designed to show what his home looked like, will then head to Las Vegas.

The sale is expected to take in over $1 million, some of which will be donated to charity.

50 Cent's Body Guard Attacks the Cameraman

Video Shows 50 Cent Bodyguard Attacking Cameraman

by Birthplace Magazine

in Queens, Video

The NY Daily News reports the arrest of a bodyguard for 50 Cent for “assaulting a group of photographers” outside the rapper’s hotel in Copenhagen. The story quotes one of the photographers as saying, “The next thing I knew, he grabs my throat and tried to strangle me.”

Video on YouTube seems to verify the allegations. So far, we can’t tell if 50 Cent has released any statement.

Now, we are hardly TMZ, or the type of site that likes to focus on the gossipy side of hip hop, so, to justify posting this story, we’ll also show a short, recent interview with 50 Cent, as he discusses a new album he’s working on. That way, we satisfy the gossip mongers, AND the folks who care about his actual artistry.
