Scott Storch is as troubled as he is talented. The super producer who has crafted mega-hit records for artists like 50 Cent, Fat Joe, Eve, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Mariah Carey, Beyonce and more is being sought by authorities in Florida for failing to pay a court ordered $28,300 to his baby mama according to TMZ.
To make matters worse, Storch failed to show up in court to explain why he hasn't paid the money. The judge in the case has issued an arrest order directing cops to drag him into court when they can track him down.
Storch is also in trouble for skipping out on a $4,000 hotel bill in Beverly Hills, California. Police there are also looking for him.
This isn't Storch's first time having financial problems. He got hooked on cocaine in 2006 and incredibly blew a $30 million fortune in six months on drugs, cars, boats and homes.
"[I had] 15 to 20 cars at all times," Storch said in a 2009 interview with MTV. "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."
Hopefully he will be able to get his life back together.
Cam'Ron protege' Vado is getting ready to deliver his Public Assistance mixtape. The project hosted by DJ Grady and DJ Iceberg will be dropping on October 15th.
The Gucci Mane/Young Jeezy beef is turned up once again. The two rappers have feuded for years. Gucci accused Jeezy of trying to have him killed back in 2005 when five men burst into an apartment of a female friend Gucci was visiting. Gucci shot and killed one of the men, Henry Lee Clark III, but escaped prosecution when the DeKalb County district attorney's office, lacking sufficient evidence to try him, dropped the charges.
Today on Twitter, Gucci taunted Jeezy about Clark's death.
Gucci also invited The Snowman to come to his Trap God release party to clear up any issues and said he would physically put in work on the CTE boss.
"What up I would like to invite Young Jeezy & any other sucker to my TRAPGOD release party at DOA 10/17 We can address any unresolved issue," Gucci wrote on Twitter. "I Radric Davis aka Guwap bet 100K I can and will beat Jeezy a$$."
The 1017 Brick Squad boss said T.I. could join in if he wanted to.
"No Disrespect to Clay but if Tip wanna get into it he can," wrote Gucci.
This beef had quieted down, but picked up steam again in the last week when Gucci appeared on The Breakfast Club and said he had no respect for Jeezy.
Jeezy responded in an interview with Big Boy's Neighborhood a few days later by referring to Gucci as "Shawt Bus Shawty" and called him "retarded."
Hopefully cooler heads will prevail in this situation, but given their history of beef that may not happen.
Check out Gucci Mane's new diss record "Truth" aimed at Jeezy below.
Former Floetry singer Marsha Ambrosius released a new music video two days ago for her song "F*ck N Get It Over With." In the video there is a scene where Marsha and another woman hold hands and head to the bedroom for what looks like a bit of sex play.

A Missouri couple is suing their doctor after he decapitated their baby during birth, then tried to cover it up by shoving the baby back inside the mother's birth canal and performing an emergency c-section.
Arteisha Betts and Travis Ammonette, of Florissant, filed a 10-count complaint in St. Louis County Circuit Court last month against Dr. Gilbert Webb, Dr. Susan Moore, Midwest Maternal & Fetal Medicine Services and Signature Medical Group.
The couple claims they were told by Moore in February 2011 that the baby would have to be delivered by caesarian because his abdomen was too large for a normal birth, according to the New York Daily News.
Betts went into labor 28 weeks into what is normally a 40-week pregnancy.
When the couple arrived at St. John's Mercy Medical Center in March 2011, Dr. Webb refused to perform a C-section.
St. John's Mercy Medical Center
The complaint indicates Webb "would not agree" to the Cesarean and "would only agree to deliver her baby by way of attempted trial of vaginal delivery," according to Florissant.Patch.com.
"Believing that she had no other choice than to agree to a trial of vaginal delivery, plaintiff Arteisha Betts consented to a trial of vaginal delivery under duress and protest," according to the complaint.
During the procedure the baby's head delivered in the first stage, but in the second stage his body got stuck. Webb applied pressure trying to pull the baby out and "separated decedent Kaden Travis Ammonette's head from his cervical spine."
"Blood from the arteries and veins in decedent's neck shot out, splattered and/or spilled out into the labor and delivery room in plain view of Betts and Ammonette," according to the complaint.
In an attempt to cover up what he had done, Webb pushed the baby back inside Betts' birth canal and called for an emergency C-section. Webb was in such a hurry he started cutting Betts' stomach before the anesthesia had fully kicked in causing her great pain and suffering.
During the C-section Webb "surgically and completely removed" the baby's head from his neck and torso. Webb then tried to cover up the baby's wounds before handing him to his parents, but it's not clear in the complaint how he did this.
Betts got a tattoo of her sons hand prints honoring him.
The couple accuses the defendants of wrongful death and negligence and is seeking unspecified damages.

Turk is finally free after serving nine years in prison. According to AllHipHop he was released from Forrest City, Arkansas Federal Prison Friday morning.
Turk, real name, Tab Virgil Jr., was convicted in 2005 on federal charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm, a fugitive from justice in possession of a firearm, and an unlawful user addicted to a controlled substance in possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to ten years.
The charges stemmed from a 2004 shootout with a Memphis Swat team that left two of them seriously wounded as they raided an apartment looking for drugs and weapons.
Turk had been a member of the highly successful rap group the Hot Boys along with Juvenile, B.G. and Lil Wayne from 1996 to 2001.
Now that he is a free man Turk plans on getting right back to working on music. He is also penning a book "The AutoThugography of Turk" and a screenplay titled "Reckless."
The woman who was on the receiving end of a vicious uppercut by a Cleveland bus driver is speaking out about the ordeal.
25-year old Shi'dea Lane of Cleveland spoke to Fox 8 News about what happened.
“I don’t remember everything, because I was so hysterical at the time,” said Lane, 25, of the September 18th incident. “The bus driver didn’t think I had any money to get on the bus and I was looking for it, trying to tell him that I have money to get on the bus. Can you just let me find it? And from there it just escalated.”
In the video Lane can be seen arguing with the driver, identified as 59-year old Artis Hughes. Lane spits on the driver, then hits him.
Hughes responds by saying, "you going to jail now" several times before throwing an uppercut that knocks Lane to the floor. Hughes told police he was just defending himself, but Lane doesn't see it that way.
“It’s amazing to see how a man would hit a woman that hard. Are you serious? You could have pulled me off the bus. You can’t really touch anyone, but for real? You really punched me?” said Lane. “It felt like I was on Mortal Kombat. It just hurted. It was almost like a ‘finish him!’ type of hit,”
When asked about the fact that she hit and spit on Hughes first, Lane didn't want to comment.
"No see, that’s why I want to talk to my lawyer. I don’t really want to, I can’t answer that question. It’s more than that,” she said.
Shi'Dea Lane
According to WKYC-TV, Hughes has been suspended by the Regional Transit Authority.
The RTA issued the following statement:
RTA saw the video posted on YouTube of the operator incident on October 11. Through the investigation, we believe the incident occurred on Sept. 18. Upon identifying the driver, he was immediately suspended and removed from duty. His behavior is absolutely unacceptable.RTA apologizes to our customers for this incident. A full investigation continues.
Neither Hughes or Lane pressed charges initially after the incident.
This story has gained a lot of attention on social media with #getoffmybus and #uppercut gaining popularity on Twitter.

Young Jeezy stopped by L.A. radio station Power 106 to speak with Big Boy's Neighborhood about the recent drama that went down at the BET Hip Hop Awards with Rick Ross.
"Me and {Ross] had never seen each other [since the beef started] face to face, for real for real. He spoke, I spoke that was basically it. But at the end of the day it's been going on for a while so I just felt like if it was to be handled it should be handled there. Either we gonna get past ir keep moving.," Jeezy said. "So in my words I just feel like a lot of these cats are actors/rappers and I'm Jeezy and they can never be me. At the end of the day I refuse to be a part of this WWF propaganda and b.s. to sell records. I just feel like this rap game is just WWF. Everybody wants to get points off somebody else. I earned my respect in the streets."
He also addressed his long running beef with Gucci Mane.
"Everybody know that boy retarded. Nobody is taking him serious," said Jeezy. "He got an ice cream cone on his face."
Jeezy claimed that Gucci had called him several times recently to do a collaboration and he turned him down, which led to the beef starting up again.
"I said it wasn't a good idea. I don't wanna go backwards. He reached out a few times, I didn't do the record so I guess he feel a way," Jeezy explained. "He didn't take his medicine that day.... Short Bus Shawty. You talking about a cat that's been in the crazy house three times, I can't take him serious. He's nutty buddy. He's got an ice cream cone on his face. Grown men don't do that type of sh*t."
Loaded Lux stopped by Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club this morning to chop it up with the crew of Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee.
The battle rapper has been getting a lot of love recently from artists like Bun B, Jay-Z, Lupe Fiasco, Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
The crew talked to him about that, making the transition from battle rapper to artist, possible record deals, his stance against glorifying drugs and the gangster lifestyle.
There has been a lot of speculation recently regarding an apparent conflict between longtime friends 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Until now none of the reasons seemed legitimate, but a series of letters written to Floyd while he was in jail may provide a clue.
Former Floyd associate Tommy Summers, A.K.A. Tommy Smalls, reached out to the boxing champion while he was incarcerated and tried to convince him that his longtime adviser, Al Haymon, had cut deals behind his back to hold fights at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas costing Floyd millions of dollars in the process. Summers also accused Haymon of funneling all of his fighters to rival promotional company Golden Boy instead of Floyd's Mayweather Promotions.
"All the fighter that Al Haymon got he signed them to Golden Boy, not with us," Summers wrote. "You let him eat with you and you can't eat with him. HBO told 50 Cent on the low that Al Haymon has 20 dates over a period of years on your name. F*ck that."
Summers goes on to explain further how Haymon basically stole money from Floyd by doing side deals.
"You fought Oscar [De La Hoya], [Ricky] Hatton, [Shane] Mosely, [Manuel] Marquez, [Victor] Ortiz, [Carlos] Baldimore and [Miguel] Cotto. All at the MGM Grand. The deal was cut under the table. That site fee and gate money ain't sh*t. G.B. and Al already took the money to bring you to Vegas and fight here at MGM. It's worth over $150 million dollars. D. King did not bring Tyson to Vegas at MGM for only gate money. You are worth more, do your own thing. You never got the things you wanted from MGM because they got it already. Over $100 million over 8-fights. Trust me I know."
Summers explained that when Floyd got out of jail there would be big money deals on the table from people like Jerry Jones, Steve Wynn and either Hank Steinbrenner or Hal Steinbrenner to hold fights at their stadiums in front of 75,000 to 100,000 fans each time out.
"You can make $500 million to $1 billion before you quit and after," Summers insisted. "That old Golden Boy sh*t is over. You gonna make $100 million or more a fight. You made Golden Boy and Al Haymon a lot of money. Game over!"
Floyd evidently did not believe Summers. Summers and 50 Cent are now attempting to do business with Manny Pacquiao by forming a new boxing promotion company. Could that be the reason for the recent friction between Floyd and Fif?.
Several days ago Meek Mill sent out a Tweet saying he would be interested in battling either E-Ness or DNAafter watching those two compete against each other.
DNA saw the Tweet and posted a video response.
"I got no problem getting in the ring with Meek Mill at all. I feel like it would be a crazy battle," DNA said. "For y'all that don't know, Meek Mill has battled years ago in like 2003, but with all that being said this battle world done changed. This ain't what they used to do in '03, this is 2012 and it's way advanced."
DNA then plays some old footage of Meek battling back in the day and explains why that style wouldn't work now.
"Yo Meek Mill I f*ck with you heavy. 'Dream Chasers 2,' crazy... 2 million downloads your music is fire. But bro in 2012 that type of battling is not gonna work with me at all. I'm not trying to step in your world where you do music, don't step in mine. This thing is different I'm telling you," DNA said emphatically.
Amanda Todd was a typical 15-year old Canadian teenager who unfortunately made a couple of bad decisions that she would never be able to get past because of stalking and bullying.
When Amanda was in the seventh grade she went online to a chat site with her webcam to meet and talk to new people. A man she met online encouraged her to flash her breasts, which she did.
One year later the man somehow tracked her down on Facebook. He knew her address, family names and friend's names. He threatened to send the pic of her breasts to everyone she knew if she didn't put on a show for him.
The man eventually did send the pic to everyone she knew, which started Amanda's downward spiral. She got bullied at school and lost all of her friends. She transferred schools, but a year later the man tracked her down again. He made a Facebook page with her breasts as his profile pic. All of her new friends found out and she found herself alone and bullied again.
She transferred schools several more times and things seemed to get better, but then she made another mistake by getting involved with a guy who had a girlfriend. The girlfriend tracked her down at school and confronted her in front of everyone. Amanda was beaten up and left in a ditch.
Amanda started cutting and eventually tried to commit suicide.
“Every day I think why am I still here?" she wrote.
Last month on September 7th, Amanda made a video titled "My story: Struggling, bullying, suicide, self harm," using a series on note cards to describe what she had been going through. She uploaded the video to youtube.
I'm struggling to stay in this world, because everything just touches me so deeply. I'm not doing this for attention. I'm doing this to be an inspiration and to show that I can be strong. I did things to myself to make pain go away, because I'd rather hurt myself then someone else. Haters are haters but please don't hate, although im sure I'll get them. I hope I can show you guys that everyone has a story, and everyones future will be bright one day, you just gotta pull through. I'm still here aren't I ?
-AmandaTodd
On Wednesday she committed suicide at her home in Port Coquitlam.
Amanda Todd
“It is a very sad case,” Paul McNaughton, principal of Coquitlam Basic Alternative Education school, where Amanda was in the 10th grade, told the Vancouver Sun. “She was quite connected here. The staff and the students here are very much impacted. She had some very strong ties in the school and to staff in the school. I can tell you we feel we tried everything we could to help her when she came to us.”
Amanda's mother, Carol Todd, said she hoped her daughter's video would help others who are being bullied.
“I think the video should be shared and used as an anti-bullying tool. That is what my daughter would have wanted,”
Since Amanda's death there have been numerous video posted on youtube urging people to stop bullying.
