The bad blood between 40 Glocc and Black Wall Street continued last night, July 7. 40 was leaving a mansion party in Los Angeles when he had guns drawn on him and was jumped by The Game and around 10 other people. 40 was by himself during the attack. This is the second fight between 40 and a member of BWS. He was involved in a brawl with Compton Menace last May.
After this latest altercation 40 took to Twitter to explain what had just happened and posted a picture of himself.
Video footage was later posted by The Game of him punching 40. You can check that out below.
Machine Gun Kelly was quoted recently as saying he hated his song "Invicible" and resented Interscope boss Jimmy Iovinefor making him record it.
“First off, I hated the song,” he reportedly told Tampa’s WILD 94.1 back in June. “It was brought to me by corporate America. Jimmy Iovine was like hey, first off they didn’t even come to me with the song, it was like a contest between the Interscope rappers like Yelawolf, Kendrick Lamar and myself, which I [later] found out.”
MGK has since changed his mind about the song and he talked to Karen Civil about how he feels about it now, his relationship with Jimmy Iovine and why he refuses to engage in a war of words with Yelawolf.
Flo Rida has been riding an incredible wave of success with his new album Wild Ones and he doesn't plan on slowing down anytime soon. He's got a remix lined up with 50 Cent for "Thinking of You" off of the project which will be dropping soon.

Normally rap videos and scantily clad women shaking their assets in and around a swimming pool would be seen a normal, but a new video featuring a six-year old rapper is causing lots of controversy.
"Booty Pop" features young Albert Roundtree Jr. rapping "I can make your booty pop, booty pop, booty pop," while women in bikinis dance around him. The video has been flagged and age restricted under youtube's Community Guidelines policy. That hasn't stopped it from being viewed by over 500,000 people since it was uploaded on July 2nd.
The video's director Tyler Council, told the Miami New Times that Albert's parents paid him to shoot the video in the hopes their son will become a big rap star. He also says he doesn't regret filming the clip.
"It's supposed to be a joke, but I'd say about 30 percent of the people watching it find it funny," Tyler said "But I still don't regret it. He's just trying to imitate his idols that he hears on the radio. There's no touching going on, there's no drug abuse."
Council added that Albert's parent's have commissioned him to shoot a new video entitled "Girls, Girls, Girls," which will be dropping soon.
"I haven't had time to think about anything besides 'Booty Pop' because it's destroying the internet," Council says. "His belly button is more important that Andy Griffith dying, and Obama getting the healthcare act past the Supreme Court. I think it's ridiculous. I guarantee people freaking out about 'Booty Pop' don't have any idea how many soldiers died in Iraq last week."
Take a look at the video below and let us know what you think.

50 Cent was in Zurich, Switzerland on Friday, July 6th for OpenAir Frauenfeld, one of the biggest music festivals in the world. The G-Unit boss performed alongside Tony Yayo for the packed crowd.
50 had new tattoos prominently displayed on his arms during the show. HHNM reports they may have been temporary because they weren't there after the show.
He removed the tats from his arms in 2009 for his film career. 50 explained the decision at the time in an interview with AllHipHop.com
"I took some of the tattoos off because on the movie set, if we got a six oclock call time, I have to be there two oclock the night before," he said at the time. "I gotta go through four hours of make up before we go ahead and play the role. So, I just took it off my arm. My right arm.”
Would you like to see 50 bring his tats back permanently?
