The Game seemed to come out of left field when he called Meek Mill a snitch during a concert at STORY Nightclub in Miami Thursday, September 15, then following that up today with the diss song "92 Bars."

We now have a clearer understanding of where the beef stems from.

TMZ reports that Game believes Meek implicated him in the robbery of Sean Kingston's $300,000 chain back in June.

As we reported at the time, Kingston claimed he was at the Penthouse Nightclub & Dayclub in West Hollywood when 2 men approached him. He was hit in the head with a bottle and had his chain snatched.

Meek and The Game happened to be at the club when Kingston was assaulted.

Game believes Meek snitched to the police by telling them that someone from his crew had something to do with the robbery.

Law enforcement officials TMZ contacted Friday, September 16, told the website that Game was never a suspect and Kingston stopped cooperating, resulting in the investigation being closed.

Meek responded to all the drama by calling it a publicity stunt by Game to promote his upcoming album.

"U wanna fight? Next morning a diss raps," he captioned a now deleted Instagram post. "Then the pre-order links! THE JIG IS UP YALL GUYS REAL RAPPERS! Make sure y'all go support them industry cats!"

Game shot right back with a caption on a photo of himself and Meek's girlfriend Nicki Minaj.

"The last time Nicki held a REAL NIGGA #7thGradeBodyHavinAssNigga," Game quipped. "Everybody know you the wife nigga.... If she take her followers back, you gone be back at 100k !!! #Snitch #RatsWillDoAnythingForCheese #WeakMeal."

This beef is still cooking. It will be interesting to see if Meek releases a diss song of his own.

The Game and his entourage were the targets of a shooting in Miami Beach on Friday morning, September 16, according to police.

TMZ reports that around 7:30 a.m. multiple gunshots were fired into a white Mercedes-Benz G Wagon parked outside of the Fontainebleau Hotel.

Wack 100, Game's manager, told TMZ that the gunman or gunmen actually hit the wrong vehicle. Their ride, black Chevy SUV, was parked right next to the G Wagon.

Game's white Range Rover was parked about 15 feet away from the shooting.

As we previously reported, The Game dissed Meek Mill at STORY Nightclub in Miami the night before. However, there's no evidence to suggest the two incidents are related.

Seemingly out of nowhere The Game is going in on Meek Mill.

During an appearance at STORY Nightclub in Miami Thursday, September 15, the Compton rapper called Meek a snitch and said he wanted to scrap with him.

" I just wanna beat that nigga ass one good time," Game told the audience. "When you see me nigga, square up. Fuck Meek Mill."

He later said Meek was a rat.

"Snitching like Weak Mill, I never heard of that," Game rapped during a song.

On Friday morning, September 16, The Breakfast Club premiered a diss record by The Game aimed at Meek called "92 Bars" in which he talks about wanting to get with the MMG rapper's girlfriend, Nicki Minaj.

"And I've been wanting to give Nicki this pool stick / So, tell your your lil' vibrant thang come fuck with q-tip," he raps.

There's obviously a backstory to this beef and we'll let you guys know as soon as we find out what it is.

Because Master P has many years of experience as both a record label owner and an artist, he's able to look at the music business from a unique perspective.

The record mogul recently sat down with Justin Hunte of HipHopDX to weigh in on the Lil Wayne and Birdman beef.

"They just gotta see that they gotta work this out." P said. "It's like a marriage, even though you ain't gon' be together. I think they gon' eventually work it out. Because I think they hurting themselves. They both losing money. If somebody love you they gon' figure it out and be like 'You know what? Let's just do the right thing 'cause we gotta be around each other 24/7, anyway.' I think that's what you're experiencing now. You thought it was love, but you're starting to see that it was just about money. And money is the root of all evil."

P also spoke on James Prince of Rap-A-Lot Records stepping in an attempt to help Wayne get the money he's owed.

"When you talk about Lil J, that's the big homie. It's always respect and love for him," P told Hunte. "Maybe this thing needs to go to somebody that can let them know like, 'Man, what is y'all fighting over?'"

Future and Rocko may soon be facing off in court now that they have filed lawsuits against each other.

As we previously reported, Rocko sued Future for $10 million in June, alleging the rapper signed a deal with his A1 Recordings label in 2011. As part of the agreement, Future's first six albums would be recorded for the label.

The record executive claims Future breached his contract by negotiating backdoor deals with A1's distributor, Epic Records, without his knowledge. Then failed to pay A1 it's 25% cut from those multi-million dollar advances.

Rocko wants proper financial compensation, plus a share of Future's earnings from endorsements and touring.

TMZ reports that Future has now filed a counter-suit.

The "Turn On the Lights" hit maker claims his deal with A1 Recordings was not exclusive and the advances Epic Records gave him were above board.

He adds that Rocko and A1 actually owe him money because he had to pay out of pocket for all of his recording costs and wasn't reimbursed by the label. In addition, Future says he never received the $10,000 per album advances he was due.

The rapper is asking a judge to force Rocko to cough up the money he's owed.

(Houston Chronicle) The family of Sandra Bland - who died while in custody at the Waller County Jail - has reached a tentative $1.9 million out-of-court settlement with state and county officials that could bring statewide changes to rural jails across Texas.

The tentative settlement - reached late Wednesday - calls for Waller County to pay $1.8 million and the Texas Department of Public Safety to pay $100,000, according to San Antonio attorney Tom Rhodes, one of three lawyers who represented Bland's mother, Geneva Reed-Veal, in the federal lawsuit filed in Houston.

The settlement would need approval of state officials and Waller County commissioners before being finalized, officials said.

Waller County's attorney Larry Simmons issued a statement Thursday saying that final details were still being worked out and that the county agreed that all details would be confidential until finalized.

The settlement does not include any admission of fault or wrongdoing, he said.

The tentative settlement calls for jail reforms not just in Waller County but in other rural jails in Texas, a move that would require action by state lawmakers.

Any bill passed by legislators would bear Sandra Bland's name, according to terms of the settlement.

In July 2015, DPS Trooper Brian Encinia arrested Bland during a questionable traffic stop, alleging she had assaulted him. Three days later, the 28-year-old woman committed suicide while in the Waller County Jail.

Bland's mother  filed the federal lawsuit against against Waller County, several  county officials and two jailers, and DPS  Trooper Brian Encinia.

Under terms of the settlement released Thursday, changes would be required for both DPS and Waller County.

• The DPS has agreed to provide de-escalation training for all current and former troopers statewide.
• Waller County would be required to have a nurse or emergency technician at the jail round-the-clock, and would set up a tele-medicine system so that inmates could be screened by physicians face-to-face, Rhodes said.
• The county also would be required to set up sensors to validate cell checks electronically, he said.
• State representatives would be asked to work together to draft legislation in Bland's name to require similar changes in other rural jails.

Simmons said in the statement that the terms of the settlement would go before commissioners for approval. He said the county would be required to pay only a $1,000 deductible but did not provide additional details about whether a county insurance policy might pick up the bulk of the settlement.

James Prince (middle) has stepped into the Lil Wayne vs Birdman beef

Rap-A-Lot Records founder James Prince is stepping in to aid Lil Wayne in his stalled contract negotiations with Birdman and Cash Money Records.

Wayne filed a $51 million breach of contract lawsuit against Cash Money in January of 2015.

Prince also vowed to get money owed to his son, Jas Prince, for the deal he worked out with YMCMB after discovering Drake.

"Where [Wayne] is weak, I am strong. He has gained an ally, and together we will get back all money owed to him and my son off the Drake albums," Prince told TMZ.

Drake with Jas Prince

Jas discovered Drake on Myspace, then introduced him to Wayne. Part of the deal Drizzy signed with Young Money Records called for Jas to receive a portion of the profits generated from the "One Dance" hit maker's album sales.

Jas would eventually file a lawsuit claiming he had not been properly compensated financially. In February of 2015, he demanded that Cash Money Records, the parent company of Young Money Records, open their books and give a full accounting of the money Drake has generated for the label.

"I witnessed the hard work that went into Drake's career and for Cash Money to try and take something that isn't theirs to take, does not sit well with me and family around the world," James Prince explained to TMZ.
