With rumors swirling around Jay’s Def Jam contract buyout, Hov exclusively spoke to Rap Radar to confirm the speculation.
“I can honestly say, working with Doug Morris and LA Reid has been a unique and fulfilling experience and I respect them immensely. I’ve been in the family for almost my entire career.
Doug and I spoke directly and had one of the most unique “negotiations” ever. Doug won the toss but, we both won in the end..
I thank him for allowing me to be a completely independent artist. Not every artist can say they own or are given the opportunity to own all of their music.”
YN: What is this coin toss about?
Hov: That takes a phone conversation, I’ll save it for our interview… classic.

Whoo Kid tells the 1515 Boys that Curt’s calling it quits with Officer Ricky Louis. So much for Law #15.
“The Rick Ross sh– is outta here. It’s
over, he’s done his promo — 50 promoted his album very well, so Rick
Ross is outta here. Now he’s worried about his own shit. They got the
Tia book out there. That should be the last level of anything that has
anything to do with Rick Ross.”
Well, reading is fundamental.

Thanks Mimi, you’re far too kind. Meanwhile, Usher’s got the Monster. No, Acquired Immune Deficiency.

It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
