Hip-Hop Rumors: Pandora Pays Drake And Lil' Wayne How Much?!

Word on the block is that internet radio app, Pandora, is paying artists a boatload of money to be able to use their songs. According to a statement released by Pandora founder Tim Westergren, Pandora pays more than 2,000 artists over $10,000 each for using their music. So, who gets the most cash? That would be Drake and Lil’ Wayne. Both artists earn $3 million a year just for licensing their music to Pandora! That $3 million guaranteed for not doing anything at all. ColdPlay is the only other group of artists that also earns that much cash from the radio station. Wiz Khalifa is cashing in those checks, too, and also makes a cool $1 million from the site. Must be nice! Source: Huffington Post Email me your rumors at SydneyLaceAHH@gmail.com GET INTERACTIVE WITH ALLHIPHOP.COM! Follow us on Twitter! Like us on Facebook!

Late last night, Nelly released a statement about the incident.

Neither I nor anyone else on the tour bus was aware of his decision to bring these on board. Law enforcement officials in Sierra Blanca, Texas did not press charges against anyone other than that individual.” The rapper was less diplomatic about the situation on his Twitter account? and roasted his “fam” for “jeopardizing his life.” Check out Nelly’s tweets below: I can’t front, when I first heard about the story, I thought one of Nelly’s homeboys was covering for him – but after reading his tweets, I don’t know anymore. What do you think? Either way, hopefully Nelly helps his man out with a good lawyer. He’s going to need it. Sidenote – It seems as if Nelly and Ashanti are still going strong. The rapper tweeted an invite to her birthday party, which he is hosting. These two need to go ahead and make it official already.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Beanie Sigel Save Kanye West From Chain Snatching Goons?

According to Beanie Sigel, Kanye West almost got his Roc-A-Fella “chain tooken” from a gang of goons a few years back. In an interview with Vlad TV, the Philly bred rapper recalls a story from back in his Roc-A-Fella days, when he had to come to the aid of Yeezy after a stand-off with some goons at a diner. According to Beanie’s recollection of the story, Kanye was at a diner with a few of his friends, when some bold goons pulled up their chairs to his table and sat down with the Chi-town rapper. The goons were threatening Kanye and implied that they were going to steal his jewelery as soon as he stepped foot outside of the diner. Yeezy took to his cell phone and called Beanie Sigel over to help handle the situation. Check out how Beanie tells the story below: “He [Kanye] felt threatened. Nothing was going to go down – not while I was there. Nothing was going to happen to him…[Kanye] wasn’t being paranoid; they had chairs pulled up to his table where he was eating at with his friends, and they wasn’t eating…it was real. They’re plates of food was cold; they ate only a couple of bites, and it was just like a wait off.” “Llike, ‘Hurry up, and would you come out here?’ It was going down. So I got there and I asked Kanye, ‘Yo, do you know this guy right here?’ He was like, ‘Nah,’ and I just pulled the charm from [under] him, and Kanye had his jewelry tucked in on him, and I was like, ‘Take your chain out’ – that was like a badge, that Roc-a-Fella chain…[the goons took] as they should a little more than a few steps [back].” Check out the full interview below: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgD_mVV8mo0&w=560&h=315] GET INTERACTIVE WITH ALLHIPHOP.COM!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Big Sean Trying To Steal The Game's Album Title?

A few weeks ago, Game announced that he was going to name his upcoming album, Jesus Piece. Well, in a recent interview with XXL Magazine, Big Sean revealed that he had just recorded a track entitled “Jesus Piece” for his upcoming sophomore album, Hall of Fame: Memoirs of a Detroit Player. The new track features Nas and was produced by No I.D. Check out what Big Sean said about the track below: “It’s a classic hip-hop song. We don’t just talk about Jesus pieces in general, we talk about Jesus pieces and the impact they had around the time in our life when we got our first Jesus pieces, or when we saw our idols with their Jesus pieces.” So, did Big Sean steal this idea from Game, who had previously announced that Jesus Piece was going to be the name of his fifth studio album? Can we expect a Game diss towards Big Sean in the near future because of the duplicate name? Sidenote – what do you think this track is going to sound like?

Hip-Hop Rumors: Waka Flocka Disses Rihanna 'Cause She's Got "History"

Hmm, did Rihanna turn down Waka Flocka Flame once upon a time? He sure sounds super salty in a recent statement he made about her while on Power 105.1’s morning show, The Breakfast Club. In the interview, Waka implies that Rihanna is unattractive because she has “history.” Check out what he said below: “I’m in a relationship, I’ve had a girl for almost two years. She’s about that life. That small talk [about women] don’t get her. … I’m d*mn sure ain’t going for Rihanna. H*ll nah. [Do I think Rihanna’s bad?] H*ll nah. It ain’t that I don’t think she’s bad, it’s like, nah, brah. She’s got history. You know what I mean? I don’t know, I can’t judge nobody. I don’t know. You don’t know what rocks to them, they’re in their beds. So you don’t know what’s going on.” So it’s safe to say that Waka won’t be collaborating with Rihanna or Chris Brown anytime soon.

Hip-Hop Rumors: French Montana Says Rap Beef Is Dead

French Montana really is a man of the people, isn’t he? First being signed to Akon, and now being jointly signed to Bad Boy and MMG. He also works with YMCMB and Brick Squad. The only crew he hasn’t infiltrated is G.O.O.D. Music – oh wait, he has tons of songs with 2 Chainz dating back to when he was Tity Boy. No wonder he dislikes beef – his hustle is being able to float from crew-to-crew to stay hot at all times. I like his “lick” – that means “a hustle” if you didn’t know. In a recent interview with Complex, French details why he dislikes beef and why you stay away from it at all costs: “You should avoid beef if you trying to make money. People get scared when you try to beef with people. In general, [even in street s###] nobody want to stand next to you if somebody about to shoot you, unless you have a a big lick. They [used to] do that with 50 because 50 was the bank. They knew he was going to win. People ain’t doing that [anymore] … [The rap game’s not built like that anymore]. No, it’s over for that. It’s gone, big time. They’ll get you out so fast.” Wait, did he just diss 50 Cent? Email me your rumors at SydneyLaceAHH@gmail.com GET INTERACTIVE WITH ALLHIPHOP.COM! Follow us on Twitter!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Was Kendrick Lamar's Meddling "Camp" To Blame For Missing Lady Gaga Collabo?

When Kendrick Lamar’s tracklisting for good kid, mA.A.d city was released earlier this week, many people were confused about the omission of Lamar’s collabo with Lady Gaga, “Partynauseous”. Meanwhile, Kendrick blamed the absence of the track on not quite fitting in with the rest of his music: “Me and Lady Gaga, we really good friends. She’s not on the album. We got some records, but when I was breaking down the bulk of the album, the ones we picked, we set them aside for future reference,” the West Coast lyricist told Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club. “I already had everything premeditated for this day, for October 22nd.” Lady Gaga begs to differ, and released a statement blaming the absence on Kendrick’s meddling camp making changes and compromising her music. Check out Gaga’s statement below: I apologize to the fans that this situation with Partynauseous is confusing. To it clear it up I must explain this. When I collaborate with an artist i work solely with them, not with their camps or management. Its purely organic and creative. I love Kendrick dearly as a friend, but was not willing to compromise musically to the changes his team was making to my music. This is why I am not his record. I have a very specific vision as a producer and songwriter, and I always have. That song will be released at a different time, for a different project. I love you, and think you should check out his stuff because he is truly great. He’s a good kid, its just sometimes a mad city. -LG Whatever the reason, that’s too bad – that collabo was tight.
