Hip-Hop Rumors: Yelawolf Is Getting Married…AGAIN?
I thought Yelawolf was a happy man with a cute kid and a wife somewhere in the stash. But it seems that ‘s still kind of true. Something like this: But, things have changed and apparently he’s departed the married relationship that created the beautiful young lady above. He’s now engaged to be married to FeFe Dobson, the singer from Canada. The pair are more in line with other entertainment entities that are pushing and shoving their way to the top. You see the side of his head? But, that’s not quite FeFe and Johnny Cash. Anyway, after further review, it has been made apparent that FeFe and Yelawolf is not very new, but this engagement is. Dude, if you get somebody’s name or likeness tatted on your skull, its pretty serious. But, why would he have Johnny hugging all up on her. Congrats!!! And, uh, Good Luck! Apparently, this is his ex-wife and there are two other kids. They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed. Illseed, Out.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Alicia Keys, the DJ!?? DMX Hits the Dr. Drew Show!? The Throne Rock Victoria’s Secret Show!!
Swizz Beatz Introduces Alicia Keys DJ AK-47 to the World… After her husband Swizzy got a little tired of spinning for the crowd at a recent party at Yotel in NYC, talented wifey Alicia Keys was asked if she wanted to show off her skills on the 1’s and 2’s. It was at that moment, as the lights began flickering on her jacket, that DJ AK-47 was born… [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooLPgr8b8KQ&w=560&h=315] That’s some Black Moon, Gangstarr, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, and more that she was rocking. Based off the song selection alone, I’d say she’s on the right path, but what do truly genuine DJs think about this? Can anyone spin a few songs and then call themselves a DJ? DMX Debuts New Song on Dr. Drew Show! Three rumors in three days? DMX, you are on fire!!! After announcing his collaboration with Eminem, and then his recent cleaning spree, Mr. Simmons stopped by Dr. Drew’s television show, Lifechangers, to perform his new and introspective single “Keep Your Head Up.” Check it out: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUIRKjBs9MY&w=560&h=315] Regardless of what the general opinion of DMX’s latest acts and actions are, he hasn’t been arrested, and seems to be making a legitimate go at getting clean, sober, and back on top. We can’t hate on that, but I’m sure some of you will! The Throne Rock “Stronger” and “N*ggas In Paris” at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show!
