Hey, I’m just the messenger. Read more at Rolling Out.

“Two years ago, before Ice-T had a verbal

squabble with him and white kids in Idaho went ape over “Crank That

(Soulja Boy),” Soulja Boy was already a legend among the teenybopper

set. Using his MySpace page and YouTube videos, the 16-year-old kid

literally gained millions of fans from the basement of his Batesville,

Miss., home. Sometimes, he would go as far as pretending his songs were

new Eminem and 50 Cent tracks to draw viewers. And it worked. 

‘I was getting $10,000 a show before I [was] signed,’ says the now

18-year-old rapper. ‘I got caught with $60,000 in my backpack at school

… it wasn’t a good look.'”

Tia tells Tim about the motive behind her autobiography, Tia’s Diary — Deeper Than Rap: Clarity, Truth and Exposure. 

“Revenge. Who’s to say this is gonna be a success for me?” I accomplished my goal. Sometimes you have to do it,

because people can do things to you and you can sit back and take it

and take it and take it. But when the day comes when it’s too much to

hold in, you gotta let it out.”

Yep, on harcover or paperback.

According to the NY Daily News, Lindsay made a three hour trek to University of California to see Asher P. perform. But instead of enjoying the show, she wouldn’t hop off his nuts.

“Lindsay was bugging both Asher and his management team to get onstage

during ‘ She Don’t Want a Man,‘ but Asher was so annoyed by her requests

that he actually skipped performing the single.”
