Flavor Flav Face Jail Time

For anyone out there who has child support responsibilities that they must uphold, stay on top of them, or else you could end up like Flavor Flav and many others like him. TMZ has recently reported that Flavor Flav is behind on his child support payments by $111,186 that he owes to his Albany, NY baby mama Angie Parker. He is required by the court to pay a monthly fee of $837.72 to Ms. Parker, but obviously has neglected to do so.

According to the NY Daily News, Flav neglected to show up to a court hearing this past week and because of this, along with his high pile of back payments, he has landed himself a potential 180 day jail sentence. Additional to the possible incarceration, Flav will also have his drivers license and passport revoked.

He is due back in Albany Family Court on June 19th. Let's see how this all turns out.

It was reported on Thursday that long time UK hip hop radio personality Tim Westwood was fired from his radio show on 1Xtra BBC Radio. The news didn't sit too well with Westwood who immediately took to Twitter to drop the news and vent some frustration. "I've been sacked from 1Xtra Mon-Fri 4-7pm from sept #Westwoodyourfired". The 54-year-old popular radio host had a regular weekly show Monday to Friday and even though the end is near, Westwood will remain with the radio station and present his show on Saturday nights as well as a new weekend addition on Sunday nights. In a statement from the station, Westwood says his three years spent on BBC Radio was "a lot of fun and a great experience". But he followed up his previous tweet saying "I don't like gettin fired #Westwoodyourefired -1Xtra". Ben Cooper, who runs 1Xtra and BBC Radio also made a statement in regards to the situation. "Tim has proved to be one of the most influential figures in UK hip-hop and I'm delighted that he will continue to bring his wealth of knowledge and unique style to Radio 1 and 1Xtra across the weekends." Charlie Sloth will be heading things up when Westwood leaves in September. Source: mirror.co.uk

Rapper 2 Chainz arrested: ring mistaken for brass knuckles?


2 Chainz, a rapper named and known for his predilection for flashy jewelry, was arrested Tuesday at New York's LaGuardia Airport for toting an off-limits accessory: an alleged set of brass knuckles.
Born Tauheed Epps, and featured on recent songs by Kanye West and Nicki Minaj, 2 Chainz was detained at the Delta Airlines terminal when airport officials found “metal knuckles” in his carry-on luggage, according to MTV News.
Port Authority officer confirmed the arrest to MTV and said, “The knuckles were in his personal bag and sounded the alarm.”
Fellow hip-hop artists Big Sean and DJ Drama rushed to 2 Chainz’s defense on Twitter, saying that the offending item was not a set of brass knuckles but rather a four-finger ring, a staple hip-hop accessory since the days of Slick Rick and Big Daddy Kane in the 1980s.
Big Sean said the ring spelled “hood” and added, “We had a shoot [sic] yesturday n he was rockin em,” while DJ Drama posted a photo of 2 Chainz wearing the alleged ring and introduced a “#free2chainz” hashtag.
The incident marks an otherwise good day for 2 Chainz, who will appear on the premiere episode of MTV’s “Hip Hop Squares.” The remixed version of the classic tic-tac-toe-inspired game show“Hollywood Squares” features such rappers as Common, Fat Joe and Ghostface Killah.
As our sister blog Pop & Hiss points out, 2 Chainz is gaining professional traction with a gig on Drake's Club Paradise tour, his debut single "No Lie" and a well-received cameo on Minaj's "Beez in the Trap."
