Rick Ross has been denied bail and will remain locked up until at least his first hearing on July 1st.

Ross, real name William Roberts, is accused of attacking his groundskeeper, Jonathan Zamudio. According to TMZ, the rapper cornered the worker in the guesthouse bedroom at gunpoint and started questioning him. When he didn't receive the answers he wanted, Ross allegedly pistol whipped Zamudio twice with a 9mm pistol.

The groundskeeper suffered 2 chipped teeth plus injuries to his jaw and neck. He's reportedly now on a liquid diet

As we previously reported, Ross and his bodyguard, James Nadrian, were taken into custody Wednesday morning, June 24, by the the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force of the U.S. Marshals Service and the Fayette County Sheriff's Department.

After hearing Tray Deee tell VladTV that celebs joining gangs makes no sense, we had to get Kurupt's thoughts on the matter, and he spoke specifically about Chris Brown and Lil Wayne. 

The West Coast emcee said that rappers' street cred has been questioned for years now, but Kurupt doesn't feel that the celebrities who affiliate with gangs are hurting anyone. He then added that gang culture isn't what it was like when he and the rest of Tha Dogg Pound were actually living the life while also recording albums.

Once worth $70 million, Scott Storch is trying to financially regroup by filing for bankruptcy.

TMZ reports that Storch claims to have only $3,600 in assets, $100 in cash, a $3000 watch and $500 in clothing. His music companies aren't worth one penny.

In 2014 he says he made $10,000.

At one point Scott was one of the go-to producers in music. He was behind the boards on 50 Cent's "Candy Shop," Fat Joe's "Lean Back," Jadakiss' "U Make Me Wanna,' Chris Brown's "Run It," G-Unit's "Poppin' Them Thangs" and many more.

The 41-year old Long Island, New York native's downfall began in 2003 when he developed a cocaine habit. In 2006 he blew $30 million in six months splurging on drugs, 20 luxury cars, a private jet, an 18,000-square-foot Miami mansion and a yacht

“The cost of the drug didn’t effect my life,” Storch told MTV in 2009. “It was the poor decisions I made, that were so poor financially, that caused me to go into this situation where I was forced to change my lifestyle … forced to change a lot of things. [I had] 15 to 20 cars at all times,” he continued.” That’s not smart. I would take one of 15 half-million-dollar cars I owned and go to the mall and spend that much money. Stupid, stupid stuff. It’s like it didn’t make a difference. They were ego investments. I would have been great with three or four cars! I didn’t need a 117-foot boat.”

Vince Staples recently stopped by Los Angeles radio station Power 106 to chop it up on The Cruz Show.

One of the topics he addressed was record sales and explained why he believes Drake, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole continue to move units while the hip hop genre as a whole remains in a slump.

"If you a kid, 15, 16-years old," Staples says, "and you only got $20 that you probably got from your mom and you done had it for a minute, and you gotta pick between buying a CD or doing something that, probably getting some food or getting some weed, 'cause that's what the kids like to do nowadays, what they gonna pick? Because the music ain't really helping them in a sense of what we're saying and what we're doing. It's just hindering them. So why would they spend they last on that? It's not really a lot of expendable income in today's society in general. So what do we expect for these kids to have? I feel like if you have something that they feel like affects them or is speaking for them, it's always gonna do well. You look at the J Coles, the Kendricks, those are the people selling the most records. Drake, those are the people that are really the most transparent with their music."

Peter Tonstad's stint as interim CEO of Jay Z's Tidal streaming service lasted less than three months. Tonstand accepted the position after former CEO Andy Chen resigned in mid-April.

The timing of Tonstad's exit is odd given the fact that he was supposed to hold the position until a permanent CEO was named. The company is still in search of that replacement.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Tidal "will be run by executives in New York and Oslo until a new chief is in place."

Peter Tonsted

“We are thankful to Peter for stepping in as interim CEO and wish him the best for the future," a Tidal official said in a statement.

When reached Tonstad said "the only thing I can confirm is that I have resigned."
