Hip-Hop Rumors: Is This Nas' New Girlfriend?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Headlines

Some people are whispering. They are saying that Nas has a new girlfriend. At least, it seems that way. Apparently, recently, Nas was one of many stars as a private event with some billionaires. In attendance as well was Russell Simmons, Harvey Weinstein, Spike Lee, and several other notables. But, Nas was apparently there with singer Melanie Fiona. Seems like these two have gotten extremely close and in the gala, they were kissing and hugging. They have taken pictures together in the past but nobody thought anything about it until now. “They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!” -illseed. Illseed, Out.

Melanie Fiona Onboard for Glenn Lewis’ Return to the Studio

By: @KareemTaylorCategory: Alternatives

True fans will remember Glenn Lewis from his 2001 jam, “Don’t You Forget It”, and since then, he’s been on a serious hiatus. (Although, we did love him covering himself on “This Love” on Marsha Ambrosius’ mixtape). With no real explanation for his absence (other than perhaps a finicky industry or janky deal), Lewis has resurfaced and is now working on his sophomore album, Moment of Truth, slated for an early 2013 release on the legendary Ruffhouse Records/EMI. In a newly released photo, Lewis is seen working with recent Grammy-winner Melanie Fiona on new material. In the picture, don’t they look like a couple? We might be going too far. “Melanie Fiona is one of the top five best female vocalists in the game. I feel particularly honored she chose to work with me on my new project,” said Glenn Lewis in a statement to AllHipHop.com. “She’s a personal favorite person in this world to me. She’s a star in every sense of the word.” While we wait for what’s sure to be a hit collabo between the two, let’s take a look back at Lewis’ cover of “This Love” with Ambrosius, along with a throwback reason for why fans first fell in love with Lewis a decade ago: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34tB2Vgh1yw] [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc4mRi7W2Ls&w=640&h=480]

(AllHipHop News) Earlier today (May 22) at the BET Studios in New York City, Stephen Hill, President of BET’s Music Programming and Specials, was on hand to announce the 2012 BET Awards show’s nominees, recipient of the “Cadillac Lifetime Achievement Award,” and host for the awards, to take place on July 1 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California. After a number of comedians were tasked with hosting the awards show in years past, and for 2012 BET has given host duties to the highest grossing actor of all time, Samuel L. Jackson. “We are massively excited about having Sam Jackson host the BET Awards,” Hill exclaimed. “His wit, presence, and gigantic personality are the perfect match for our show.” Hill also revealed that, alongside a panel that included 2012 BET Awards nominees like A$AP Rocky, Big Sean, Melanie Fiona, DJ Khaled, Diggy Simmons, Astro, and Mindless Behavior, Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj would be performing at this year’s show. He promised that more announcements regarding performers would be made in the near future. “Cadillac Lifetime Achievement Award” recipient Frankie Beverly was also on-hand at the nomination event to speak on the prestigious honor of being recognized as part of the group Maze featuring Frankie Beverly. Regarding nominees, Kanye West unsurprisingly leads the pack with seven nominations, some of which include “Best Collaboration,” “Video Director of the Year,” and five more with Watch The Throne member, Jay-Z. Beyonce received six nominations, such as “Best Female R&B Artist” and two nods for “Video of the Year” for “Countdown” and “Love On Top.” Speaking on his Best New Artist nomination, A$AP Rocky told AllHipHop.com, “It feels great, and I’m happy. That’s a really big deal so I’m happy for that. You couldn’t tell me in May of last year that we would be doing this. I wouldn’t have expected it, so I feel blessed and I just thank God all the time. “The fans are the most ultimate importance of everything,” A$AP Rocky stated. “Without them there is no movement, and I’ve got a lot of supportive people right now and it’s crazy ’cause I didn’t expect this. I didn’t imagine none of this.” For a full list of nominees, visit BET.com. The 2012 BET Awards will air July 1 at 8pm only on BET .
