Juelz Santana recently said in an interview “My studio had just gotten raided by the police. It was kind of a real tight situation for me.” Santana continues to concoct excuses for his delayed duet album with Lil Wayne. Know why? Because Lil Wayne said last week “I sent him some music and he didn’t send them back in the time/fashion that I work.”

Here’s an insert from Juelz Santana’s boring interview:

“Me and Wayne been recording music when it comes to I Can’t Feel My Face for about five years. We actually have a ton of music that got leaked on the streets. Continue Reading…

HSK Exclusive - John Legend may openly date models, but that doesn’t mean he’s not playing for the boys! Know why? Sources from the Windy City exclusively tell HSK John Legend and Kanye West once has a secret sex relationship which ended back in 2008. Don’t believe me? Ask Dame Dash.

Here’s some sizzling hot Mid-West tea:

“Those close to Legend have constantly advised him to get a girlfriend so not to damage his brand. Well he did, but he continues to hang out with extremely feminine male friends.
