Donatella Versace Talks Notorious B.I.G.’s Fashion Influence
After the Versace name was consistently shouted out in rap tracks such as “Big Poppa” and “Hypnotize,” Interview Magazine reveals a conversation between Nicki Minaj and luxurious fashion designer Donatella Versace, which showcases the designer’s feelings for Notorious B.I.G. The late, great Brooklyn rapper was well-known for wearing her family’s clothing, as well as cementing their brand awareness among young, urban consumers. “I think Biggie was amazing,” Versace said. “He came to my shows in Paris many times, and we’d see each other often. He always used to talk so nicely about my family. I think he was so smart, so intelligent.” “He had such a mind. So I loved what he was doing and how he was giving people a way to know about Versace—I do think he was giving people a way to know about Versace—I do think a lot of people started to know about Versace because of him.”
Young Jeezy Denies Beef With Rick Ross
(AllHipHop News) While visiting MTV’s RapFix Live to talk about his upcoming fourth solo album, Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition, Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy explained that although there were subliminal and apparent friction between Rick Ross and him, there was never actual beef. “With rap, it’s a funny thing. You can say things, and people can take ‘em the way they wanna take ‘em,” Jeezy said, addressing “Death B4 Dishonor,” the 2010 cover of Rick Ross’ “B.M.F.” track that is noted for including subliminal jabs towards the Miami rapper. “But in my mind, in my heart, I just killed the verse. If I killed the verse and you took it personally, then that’s on you.” Rick Ross also took offense to the video clip that went viral, where there more perceived jabs at the rapper. “I feel like the whole started thing from a clip on WorldStarHipHop, and my thing was, if I’m a boss and you a boss, let’s sit down and be bosses,” he said. “You take a clip that somebody edited and run with that? What part of the game is that? If you felt like that, hit me up, let’s chop it up, we bosses.” After coming into contact with Ross at the BET Hip Hop Awards, Jeezy said he didn’t take the Miami rapper’s decline to exchange words personal. “I felt like it was about selling records,” Jeezy said. “It’ not about you about me. We could’ve stepped in the corner and chopped it up. So right then and there, I knew it was about records, so I was cool with it.”
