New Orleans rapper and YNT Empire Inc. CEO, Turk, linked up with Birdman and Lil Wayne during a recent visit to Club Liv in Miami.
He spoke with Mikey T The Movie Star about that being the first time he and Baby had talked face to face in 13 years, putting their differences aside, chopping it up with Wayne, being convinced that there will be a Hot Boys biopic, wanting Bankroll Fresh to portray him, overcoming his drug addictions, adjusting to life on the outside after being in prison for nine years, staying positive, becoming more mature and more.
Actress Felicia "Snoop" Pearson recently sat down with Vlad TV to talk about how Michael K. Williams convinced her to audition for her role in "The Wire," which was her first acting gig.
Since then she's appeared "Chi-Raq," "They Die By Dawn," "Da Sweet Blood of Jesus" and more.
When asked if she would rather have a role in "Empire" or "Power," Pearson had a quick answer.
"Power, and don't kill me off 50," she said. "I see how you did (actor) Jamie Hector, don't kill me off. At least give me five episodes. Let me come through on that."
Wiz Khalifa is not letting up on Kanye West. As the Taylor Gang shot caller tours overseas he's letting fans at every stop know that he's still beefing with Yeezy.
During his concert in Santiago, Chile on Thursday, January 28, Wiz threw more shots.
"We coming for you Kanye, you better run nigga!" he told the crowd.
These two might just need to put on some gloves and box for 5-10 minutes.

First Tyga leaves his baby mama Blac Chyna for Kylie Jenner, now Chyna is dating Kylie's brother, Rob Kardashian. Sounds like a tangled web.
TMZ confirms Rob and Chyna are a couple despite the fact that she is a sworn enemy of his sisters. The video vixen/model has apparently given him motivation to lose weight and leave the house, where he's been stuck, living like a recluse for months.
The fallout from Kanye West's Twitter attack on Wiz Khalifa continues.
As we previously reported, the two rappers started feuding after Yeezy changed the title of his forthcoming from "SWISH" to "Waves."
Wiz took exception because he felt like the title was offensive to the original "Wavy One," incarcerated rapper Max B.
"Please don't take the wave," Wiz wrote on his Twitter page Wednesday, January 26. "Max B is the wavy one. He created the wave. There is no wave without him. Im a wavy baby for sure and I'm not having it."
Max B is the wavy one. He created the wave. There is no wave without him.
West responded with a long diatribe that included disrespectful comments about Wiz's ex-wife, Amber Rose, and their son Sebastian.
"You let a stripper trap you," West began. "I know you mad every time you look at your child that this girl got you for 18 years."
That prompted Amber to launch a Twitter attack of her own.
"Awww @kanyewest are you mad I'm not around to play in your asshole anymore? #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch," she responded.
On Friday morning, January 29, Yeezy wanted to make it clear that he's not into buttplay.
"Exes can be mad but just know I never let them play with my ass… I don’t do that… I stay away from that area all together," the G.O.O.D. Music CEO explained. "I’m not into that kind of shit… I like pictures and videos Me and my wife got the kind of love that can turn exes into best friends."

This has to be the strangest beef in the history of rap. In one corner you have one of the greatest rappers in the history of hip hop, Ghostface Killah. In the other you have pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli.
As we previously reported, this feud began last Friday, January 22, when Ghostface was asked by TMZ to give his thoughts on Shkreli's purchase of the Wu Tang Clan's $2 million album "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin."
Ghost wasn't happy about it because when Shkreli was the CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, he hiked the price of the anti-parasitic drug Daraprim from $13.50 a pill to $750 per pill overnight.
Ghost referred to Shkreli as "shithead" and criticized his business practices.
"You don't take an AIDS pill that you have for like $7 and make it like $800. You don't do that like that. I don't care if he bought the Wu Tang whatever, whatever, whatever," Ghost said. "I don't even know him, but when I heard what he did with the AIDS [medication] that's not right."
Shkreli responded with a tweet, saying the Wu Tang rapper was past his prime.
Ghost mad that Shaolin outsold his last 5 albums… dude’s a non-profit rapper. Calls himself ironman, but sounds rusty AF @GhostfaceKillah
TMZ spoke with Ghostface afterwards to get his reaction.
"This the man I'm beefing with? The Michael Jackson nose kid?" Ghost asked while showing a photo of Shkreli on his phone. "Come on bruh, you don't even wanna do it. I'll break your heart in four days."
Stubborn and with time on his hands while he awaits trial for securities fraud conspiracy, securities fraud and wire fraud conspiracy, Shkreli threatened to end Ghost's career.
"A @GhostfaceKillah response tomorrow evening. Don't cry, Ghost. All rap careers come to an eventual end. Long time coming, motherfucker," he wrote on his Twitter page.
A @GhostfaceKillah response tomorrow evening. Don't cry, Ghost. All rap careers come to an eventual end. Long time coming, motherfucker.
Today we found out what Shkreli was referring to. In a bizarre video that looks like a parody, the executive is seen with three other men who are wearing masks. He refers to Ghost by his government name, Dennis, and demands an apology or he will erase the rapper's vocals from "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin."
"For whatever reason you think it's OK to beef with me, but that's a big mistake. At the end of the day, I'm very sorry for you," he said. "You're an old man—an old man that's lost his relevance, and you're trying to claim the spotlight from my spotlight. That's not going to work, Ghost—Dennis. In fact, I think that if you ever say some dumb shit again, this album, this Shaolin, I'm going to erase all your shit from this album. I'm going to erase you from the record books of rap. You're gonna be done. You're my son ... you have to listen to me. I butter your bread, you understand me? Without me you're nothing. Even though I pity you I have to give you some punishment. I expect you to write me a written apology from the heart. Some contrition. Some long letter where you explain your sorrow and sadness for what you've done. Be real, as your video once said, and uh, don't ever fucking mention my name again, or there will be more of a price to pay than just this video."
As mentioned in my video, I expect a written apology, @GhostfaceKillah. At least 500 words, no grammatical errors and Shaolin stays intact.
Here's another new song from superstar singer Akon, who has been cranking out a lot of new music as of late. This tune is titled "Hypnotized." Give it a listen up top.
