 Young Jeezy covers XXL magazine where he gets on Dj Drama. "Drama just started acting like a bitch. Drama wanted to be Khaled, but he didn’t want to help nobody. He just changed, period. Look at his crew. The same niggas ain’t around him. You ain’t never been in no streets. I could never have no beef with a nigga like that. He’s a cornball. You made millions off my mixtapes, to the point where the fuckin’ feds scooped you up for bootlegging. I never even made the money he made off of Trap or Die or Tha Streets Iz Watchin, because they were selling and distributing them and making money. I’m not hating. But we will never do a mixtape together. I didn’t charge that nigga for contributing a verse to the song “5000 Ones, on Drama’s official Atlantic Records debut. But then when I need [a tape for one of my artists], and you want to charge me $20,000?… I’ll slap the shit out of Drama. He knows that. He wasn’t loyal. But me putting my hands on that man ain’t gonna make him respect what I’m saying. I’m just not gonna fuck with him anymore."

When the demo of Detox hit the internet, it featured Ludacris on a song titled “O.G. Theme” which included Luda rapping the lyrics “Ain’t no ni**a better than Doc Dre, I’m a 20-year veteran.....” bringing rumors that the ATL rapper was ghostwriting for none other than Dr. Dre himself. The rumors that Ludacris was chosen to write for Detox is now to confirmed: “It was for Dre. I wrote it for Dre,” adding “It was supposed to be for Detox, but I don’t know since it got leaked. I don’t know if it’s gonna get used.” But it doesn’t stop there,  he revealed that it was not the only track he wrote for Detox, “I wrote a couple records and that was one of them.” Already leaked from the Detox album were other ghostwritten songs by numerous artists like “Young Knox – Tha Docter” & “T.I. ft Kobe - This is Detox (I Am Hip Hop)”

LiL wayne has delayed his "REBIRTH" album for the fourth time. The highly-anticipated record was initially due for release in May '09 but has again been pushed back to December '09, at the earliest. But Wayne insists he hasn’t been slacking in the studio - he’s just been too busy with acts who are signed to his Young Money record label to concentrate on his own work. He tells MTV.Com, “Honestly, I’m just starting up this Young Money label and I’m trying to get my artists down right. Get everybody together."  “Once I got that together, then I could work back on me. I’m a very humble person. I know once I get to it, I’ma get to it. So like I was saying, it’s Young Money time, so making sure my artists get their just due.”

 Lil’ Kim and music producer Scott Storch, who was once worth $70 million,  fell off after the Bentley he bought her was repossessed. Reports said that Storch had failed to make payments. But last weekend, they were spotted out together at Liv in Miami. The reconciliation may have something to do with the reality show Storch has been shopping around. A source says, “Scott just wants to get his life together and rebuild friendships.”
