RUMOR PATROL: DID AZELIA BANKS JUST OUT ASAP ROCKY ON TWITTER?!
Apr 12th
The twitter beef between Azealia Banks and ASVP Mob is on once again! After a long exchange of tweets between Azealia and AsvpNvst, he said she has aligator hands and she said he was just a broke dude riding Rocky’s coat tails. Obviously not in such nice terms! Azealia Banks reached her breaking point and put Rocky on blast for allegedly being gay and hooking up with a dude named “Kenneth” up in Harlem. Now as AsvpNsvt said, theres a million dudes named Kenny in Harlem but that isn’t exactly a denial of the fact. Azelia also posted a picture, show below, of AsvpNvst and Asap Rocky in an oddly close embrace with the following tweet.
She also inferred that Rocky should just come out of the closet and be free since he is so fond of giving make up advice. What does this all mean??? I don’t know!! Is any of this true??? I don’t know! But what I do know is should any more develop on this topic HipHopcube will be on top it all!
VIDEO: Lil Wayne Stop Nicki Minaj From Performing at SummerJam 2012
Jun 4th
****STOP THIS VIDEO AT 59secs. The poster on youtube added his own AD at the end.***
Lil Wayne decided to shut the Nicki Minaj performance at summer jam 2012 down. Word is its all because Peter Rosenberg made a statement before the show that he felt was “Disrespectful”.
Peter Rosenberg said basically “i know some of yall ladies in here right now waiting to hear that starships later, f*ck that bullshit.”
A lot of tweets were then posted by Nicki Minaj stating the young money president has spoken. So she didn’t perform because Ebro of HOT97 wouldn’t do anything about it apparently. The headliner of the show shouldn’t be dissed but then again when has Rosenberg not said what he feels. I think thats the point of having rosenberg on the radio in the first place. He stands and stans for “real hiphop” and lets face it Nicki Minaj is not that, lil wayne is not that. You would think people with that kind of money in this hiphop business would be able to separate their issues with small ish like this…
But then again Lil Wayne did respond to Pusha T… that is off top reaching below his higher level of success for no gain at all. PushaT definitely came up on that beef also.
PS. Pusha T also performed at Summer Jam 2012. Is that not disrespect also?

TC: My boutique is called Garb, it is located in New Orleans, Louisiana. I am the buyer for Garb and I also have a special section in store called “Toya’s Closet” that is stocked with designer clothing, bags and shoes that I have worn before. Garb is very Chic!
HHF: That is awesome! I read that in your new book priceless inspirations you are giving advice to teenage girls, is there one peice of advice that you think all young women should know?

HHF: Can you tell me a little more about your non profit organization?
TC: My non-profit is called “Visual Beauty” We help young women find their own inner beauty and self worth. We recently helped our girls with prom. I took care of everything from hair and make up to transportation for them so that they could enjoy themselves.
