In an attempt to clarify what he said during the conversation with the website, Sai just released a new vlog. He claims what he said was taken out of context and not meant to attack Ross specifically. He says he was talking about the direction of his new album and things he's going to be speaking out against, including rappers who glorify drug dealing.

Machine Gun Kelly saw both good times and bad while in Florida last week for a couple of concerts. He was arrested, then released for disorderly conduct in St. Petersburg, but not before he successfully performed there on Saturday and in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday.

Mikey T The Movie Star caught up with the Cleveland rapper after his rowdy show at Club Revolution in Fort Lauderdale to talk about his Bad Boy Records deal and upcoming single.

"They gave me full creative control," MGK said if his Bad Boy deal. "I have creative control over everything on my project. It's worked out for me well. They let me grind and they don't hand me sh*t. I don't have a csilver spoon with that label, and that's what I asked for. Puff is a big brother to me. I signed for 2 [albums]."

MGK's "Wild Boy" single with Waka Flocka has been making some noise. He's getting ready to follow that up with the release a new single entitled "Rain."

"A song called Rain [is my next single]. I'm really excited about that song. It's a deep song," he said. "It's the opposite of Wild boy. A very revolutionary, rebellion type of message."

Check out the rest of the interview and wild concert footage below.

The fall of former Bad Boy artists continues.

Amir Junaid Muhadith aka Loon has been arrested in Belgium on charges of heroin distribution. According to Parlemento, the former rapper was in Brussels to give a lecture. He was detained at the request of the United States under the Patriot Act, following a May 2011 indictment that alleges he “knowingly and intentionally” possessed with intent to distribute at least one kilogram of heroin in North Carolina between early 2006 and September 2008.

A copy of the indictment was posted on the website DDotOMen on Friday November 25.

Loon enjoyed musical success between 1999 and 2003. First as a part of Ma$e's Harlem World group before going solo. He was featured on Diddy's hit record "I Need A Girl Pt.1" in 2001. In 2003 he released his self titled debut album which featured the song "Down For Me."

Born Chauncey Lamont Hawkins, Loon converted to Islam in 2008 and legally changed his name.

Today marks what would been the 39th birthday for a man who is arguably the best rapper of all time.

Christoper Wallace was known by many stage names: The Notorious B.I.G., Big Poppa, Biggie Smalls and The Black Frank White. Only 24 at the time of his untimely death, he recorded two classic albums, "Ready To Die" and "Life After Death", and outshined anyone he ever collaborated with.

Without Biggie there would be no Lil Kim or Lil Cease. Both of whom were introduced to the world via Biggie's group Junior M.A.F.I.A.

His unique delivery, voice and wordplay are still unmatched to this day.

So let's drink a toast today to Biggie and celebrate his legacy.

Queens legend, Cormega visited earthquake ravaged Haiti recently, and what he saw was a lot of people still in need of help. With all of the millions that have been generated through donations, Mega said the country looks as if it hasn't received a dime.

"They deserve honorable people helping them, instead of all this f*ckery that's going on." Cormega says in an interview with Mikey T The Movie Star.

Mega said that some people will be surprised at the work actor Sean Penn is putting in behind the scenes.

"I gained a lot of respect for certain people while I was out there, and I lost a lot of respect for some," Mega said. "The person that surprised me the most is Sean Penn. "Here you have an "A" list actor, he was out there while I was and he was in those tents helping those people."

Entertainers like Shakira, Wyclef Jean and George Clooney have also been huge contributors in helping Haiti get back on it's feet. While some in he media accuse certain celebrities of capitalizing on tragedies like the one in Haiti for personal gain, Cormega said Penn was he real deal.

"I've seen a story in the media where they said he was trying to do it for attention - that's a lie, he was out there when there was no media attention," Mega insists.

The biggest shock for Cormega and those who have visited the country recently is the lack of progress being made in rebuilding the country.

"I thought, and a lot of people in America thought Haiti was straight. Like all of the money that was generated. We thought 'oh they made such and such millions they're straight.' Bet when I went out there a lot of people were saying it's like the money never came ... and it shows."

Well it's finally here, the official music video for Birdman's "Fire Flame" remix

This is Lil Wayne's first official video since being released from Rikers Island.  The visuals for his single "6'7" are coming soon.

Adding a bizarre twist to an already strange story, former Bad Boy artist G-Dep is now saying he didn’t know the man he confessed to shooting 17 years ago had actually died.

In an interview with the New York Post, the troubled rapper seems to hint that he thought he would be walking out of the precinct after the confession.

“I was surprised, for some reason I didn’t think that he died. When they [police] told me I was like, ‘Oh I’m not going home after this,’” he said.

As if the police would have let him just go on his merry way after confessing to shooting a man three times during a botched robbery.

When the story first broke Dep’s lawyer, Michael Alperstein told the Post the rapper should not be presumed guilty.

“My client is presumed innocent, and the case is going to a grand jury,” the lawyer said.

Proving his innocence is going to be almost impossible, he knew details about the crime only the killer would know according to police.

After sitting in jail for several days, maybe the realization that he may never see the free world again is setting in on Dep. But he says he talked things over with his mother and girlfriend before going to the police station.

“I told my mom and my girlfriend that I wanted to confess and they both told me to leave it in the past. My girlfriend is pretty peeved,” the former chart topping rapper admitted. “I thought if I turned myself in it might give me closure, I’m just trying to get right with God. The only thing I regret is that I have to leave my kids.”

Dep has three children with Lyvonnia Crawford.

Bottom line is he killed John Henkel on the night of October 19, 1993, now he’ll most likely have to pay for it.
