NICKI MINAJ AND BOYFRIEND BUY MATCHING BENTLEYS









Nicki Minaj and her boyfriend/ hypeman Safaree ‘Scaff Beezy’ Samuels are now proud owners of matching his and her Bentley Continental GT’s in pink and red. A proud Scaff Beezy tweeted photos of his new Matte Red car earlier this month with the caption:
‘S/O to my New Bent…Matte Red Only 1 In USA! Continental GT…”Even tho I hate it dey force me to 2get da new bent’.
$200-250g is a hefty amount of change to spend on a whip. And although it could be assumed that Nicki laced her boo with the ride since she could be considered the breadwinner in the relationship, Safari makes it clear that he has his own dough.  He wrote on his facebook:
I got ova 600k in insured jewels. …I think I can afford to buy a Bentley ;)   I shoulda boughtCivic…. LOL all good

Kelly Rowland Celebrates New Luxury Watch Deal




Kelly Rowland is no stranger to getting those international checks, so it’s no surprise that she’s been named global ambassador for luxury watch designer TW Steel’s 2012 campaign.
Yes, the original Destiny’s Child member can add watch designer to her list of accomplishments because she will be releasing her own signature styles through the Dutch company in 2012.

Cross River To Sue Rick Ross Over Breach Of Contract.

Well what do you know? Just when we thought that it was all the Cross River State Government's fault that Rick Ross was no longer performing, the current development says otherwise. At this point, I don't know who is speaking the truth but I know the Cross River State Government has been inviting international artistes over the years without any form of complaint being heard. I wonder why Rick's case has to be different.

According to "celebregion", the Cross River State Government is suing Rick Ross. They have hired lawyers to sue the rapper for breach of contract. The State Government communicated this via a blackberry broadcast message which reads:



  "‎​Please be informed that Rick Ross has  cancelled his performance at Calabar Festival after accepting full performance fee.

"The rapper, Rick Ross, has issued a statement cancelling his performance at the Calabar Festival, scheduled for December 28, 2011, for reasons not related to his recent surgery and seizures.  "The performer’s cancellation is unexpected and the reasons are unknown to Cross River State since he has confirmed receipt of his entire performance fee many weeks ago.
"Currently, Cross River State and its agents have retained counsel in the United States to pursue their legal and monetary remedies against the artist."

Rick Ross Cancels Performance In Calabar








Rapper Rick Ross, who was scheduled to perform at this years Calabar Festival, has cancelled his performance. Rick, who cancelled a lot of performances in October due to health issues, claims that his latest cancellation has nothing to do with his health. Ross’ reps told AllHipHop.com that the Nigerian show has been cancelled due to “unfulfilled contractual obligations.”



“Rick was very excited to attend this event as it is the biggest festival in Nigeria and he is quite disappointed that he will not be performing,” a rep for Rick Ross told AllHipHop.com.



Really sad news for people who travelled all the way just for his performance.

Beyonce Set To Give Birth Any Moment From Now!






Before y'all start jumping for joy, this is yet to be confirmed. According to "MediaTakeOut", On the 26th night, Nurses and security were placed on alert at the New York's St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital because a "high profile" patient was checking in. According to two nurses, the patient has booked HALF THE FLOOR of the hospital's luxury "Labor and Delivery Suite."

Coincidentally that is the very same suite beyonce's BFF, Alicia Keys, used to deliver her baby.

There's a 90% chance beyonce is that HIGH PROFILE PATIENT. We lld keep you posted as the story develops.
