Less than a week off Lupe Fiasco's "Tour For The Fans," The Boy Illinois & DGainz drop a dope visual for single "I'm Saying." Filmed in the depths of Harvey, Gainz captures unique angles and shots that almost mirror the tempo of the beat. Laced in a trench coat, The Boy Illinois gives off his full energy, with a direct focus on the live delivery of the verses. The quick switches in the video makes the repetitive hook feel as if the song is longer than expected. I'm Saying describes the classic DGainz style starring the classic man himself "Illi."

Future now has joint custody of his one-year old son, Future Zahir Wilburn, after a court ruling in Los Angeles on Tuesday, May 17.

TMZ reports that baby Future's mom, Ciara, had requested sole custody. Her lawyers argued that Future was a bad parent who didn't have a presence in his son's life.

The judge in the case rejected her request.

TMZ asked Cici for a statement as she left court, but she was in no mood to talk.

N.O.R.E and DJ EFN are the Drink Champs. Here's episode 8 with special guest Curren$y. In this clip Spitta tells a story about almost dying after accidentally drinking lean with Lil Wayne.

"You know my (Lil Wayne's) a lean professional," Curren$y said. "We was playing pickup basketball outside. This nigga poured up a (six pack of Hawaiian Punch) and put 'em back in the rings. So, it looked like harmless Hawaiian Punch in the fridge. I ran in basketball thirsty and fucking downed one of them bitches. And he came on the bus and was like 'Oh Lord." Cause he know I don't fuck with it. He was like, 'Spitta, you probably about to die. You didn't feel the difference in the bottle?" He turned another one upside down to show me. It was all stuck to the bottom of the shit."

Spitta said the last thing he remembered was being on the bus in New Orleans watching the movie "Hostel." He woke up 18 hours later in Miami. He was all alone. Everybody had left him there because they were scared he had overdosed.

Three Florida rappers are under arrest for allegedly killing a man so they could have "flash money" while performing at a concert.

Joseph Edward Gomes-Brandon Jr (aka Waxx)., 18, and Jonathan Felix (aka Killa), 21, both from Winter Haven, were arrested Saturday, May 14. They are charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery, armed burglary of an occupied dwelling and conspiracy to commit armed robbery, according to The Ledger.

Felix faces an additional charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Dylan Kindred (aka DK), 20, faces a charge of conspiracy to commit armed robbery.

All three men are being held without bond.

Clockwise, from left: Jonathan Felix, Joseph Gomes-Brandon Jr. and Dylan Kindred (bottom row)

They are accused of murdering 21-year old Tyler Eugene Macklin, reportedly a small time drug dealer, on May 11.

Tyler Macklin

"Tyler Macklin was viciously murdered in the living room of his apartment in Winter Haven. And he was shot in the neck," said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.

The three alleged killers had a concert scheduled in Tampa on May 12, but didn't have enough money to show the audience their affluence. Kindred came up with the plan to rob Macklin, who he described as "an easy lick."

The trio then drove to Macklin's apartment. Armed with a 9 mm handgun, Gomes-Brandon and Felix kicked in Macklin's door while Kindred waited outside in the car.

“Hey, you don’t have to do this, my wallet is right there,” a witness heard Macklin say, according to police.

Macklin was murdered for the $300 in his wallet, a firearm and a small amount of weed.

The rappers uploaded footage of their Tampa performance to Facebook.

Kindred later turned himself in to police and confessed to the crime. He told investigators that his accomplices were only supposed to steal money and drugs from Macklin and not hurt him.

"They are experiencing an environment where there's no rap music at all so any dancing one of them will have to be humming while the other one's dancing," said Judd

The Oklahoma City Thunder pulled off a huge win over the Golden State Warriors in game one of the NBA's Western Conference Finals on Monday, May 16.

ESPN's Chris Broussard interviewed OKC center Steven Adams on the court immediately after the game and asked him how difficult it was trying to keep up with Warriors' guards Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry.

"I don't envy (our) guards, mate. They have quick little monkeys, those guys," Adams said.

— Kenny Ducey (@KennyDucey) May 17, 2016

The New Zealand native later realized what he said might be taken as offensive by some and issued an apology.

“It was just a poor choice of words, mate,” Adams told USA TODAY Sports. “I wasn’t thinking straight. I didn’t know it was going to upset anyone, but I’m truly sorry. It was just a poor choice of words. I was just trying to express how difficult it was chasing those guys around.”

Adams blamed his faux pas on his dialect.

“It’s just different, mate,” he said. “Different words, different expressions, and stuff like that. But they obviously can be taken differently, depending on which country you’re in. I’m assimilating, mate, still trying to figure out the boundaries. But I definitely overstepped them tonight.”

Former Geto Boys rapper Willie D. spoke to VladTV about calling Charles Barkley, Stacey Dash, Raven-Symone and other celebrities out on his track, "Coon." Willie stood firmly by his views and added that media personalities like Charles and Stacey are pandering to their white audiences for approval when they make controversial statements about other races. 

"They're very dangerous," Willie D said. "These type of people are very dangerous. And I do dare to say that they're equally as dangerous as any gang banger would be in the neighborhood. Because they're shaping and they're molding minds and opinions. They're making people think that it's OK to feel bad about yourself. It's OK to make you feel inferior. And they're making the racists in this country feel like the shit that they do is OK"

During the conversation Willie also singled out Raven-Symone for saying it would be hard for a Black woman to get hired with the name "Watermelondrea," which he said was ridiculous. Willie added that anytime he hears a celebrity "cooning" for the media he will be sure to call them out in future songs.

Juelz Santana is waving goodbye to his 2300 square foot New Jersey condo after failing to make a payment on it in almost three years.

Bossip reports that the Dipset rapper, real name LaRon James, bought the home eleven years ago for $540,000 with a $486,000 mortgage. 

His creditor, Wells Fargo, said in court documents that they had not received a single monthly payment of $3,754 since November 2013.

The judge in the case gave Santana ten days to respond to the final foreclosure judgment issued on April 22.

The court never heard back from him or his lawyers and now the condo will be sold at a sheriff’s sale.

The rapper owes a total of $688,219, plus $7,000 in attorney's fees

Lil Kim could soon lose her $3 million Bergen County, New Jersey mansion.

The Queen Bee, real name Kimberly Jones, bought the home in 2002 for $2.2 million with a $1.6 million mortgage. 

She agreed to pay $9,935 a month to her creditor HSBC Bank, but over the years has fallen behind on payments. Each time the Brooklyn, New York rapper has been able to work out extensions to avoid foreclosure.

However, Bossip reports that the payments have stopped being made. Kim's legal team has been unable to come up with a financial plan that HSBC agrees with, so there will be a mediation hearing in June.

HSBC is asking for full payment on the mansion, plus damages and court costs. If no deal is reached or there is no delay granted by a judge the mansion will be auctioned at a sheriffs sale.

In October 2015, Lamar Odom, was found unconscious and foaming at the mouth at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada, following a weekend of heavy partying.

The former NBA player was rushed to the hospital and had to be placed on life support. Following several months of physical rehabilitation, the 36-year old was released from a Los Angeles hospital in January 2016.

It's been a slow road to recovery for Odom, but he's back on his feet and has been seen out in public at a Los Angeles Lakers game and spending Easter Sunday at church with his estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian, and her family.

TMZ reports that Hof is now trying to convince Odom to come back to his brothel with the promise of free booze and whores.

"First night and 2 girls are on me," Hof told TMZ. "Plus all the Remy Martin you can drink."

Hof credits his staff with saving Odom's life and believes another stay at his establishment will do him a world of good.

"Don't forget, the people who work here are the one's who saved his life. We truly care about him," Hof added.

Odom has battled drug addiction in the past. Hof feels like that's what caused him to fall ill during his previous stay and plans to make sure history doesn't repeat itself.

This is a horrible idea in my opinion. Hof appears to only want to use Odom for publicity and could care less what happens to him. I hope Odom stays far away.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Stipe Miocic of the United States beat Brazil's Fabricio Werdum in front of his shocked home crowd on Saturday to become the new UFC heavyweight champion.

The American fighter used his boxing expertise to knock out the Brazilian in the first round of UFC 198 in Curitiba, Southern Brazil.

Werdum started on his feet, avoiding Miocic's attempts to bring him to the floor and use his jiu-jitsu. But as he moved toward the American, Miocic landed a sucker punch on the Brazilian's chin to quickly end the contest.

Miocic, an Ohio firefighter, won six of his past seven fights. Werdum had won five straight fights, highlighted by a win against Mark Hunt for the interim title and then a submission victory against Cain Velasquez in a unification bout.

The bout was scheduled for February until Werdum pulled out with injuries and forced a postponement.

Cleveland's long-suffering sports fans have not celebrated a major professional championship in team sports since 1964, but they can at least celebrate Miocic's individual achievement.

Cleveland deserves this. They have to deal with the Browns after all.

— Joe Lauzon (@JoeLauzon) May 15, 2016

Celebrating in front of a sold-out but ultimately disappointed crowd of 45,000 fans at Arena da Baixada, Miocic shouted: "Cleveland, this is for you!"

"I would like to thank the fans. You were against me, but you made all this happen. Fabricio is tough, I had to guess what he was doing, so I was preparing for this," the new champion said.

Still looking surprised at the octagon, Werdum said: "I have to admit that he was better than me. But I will do all I can to come back and be champion again," said the 38-year old Brazilian.

The local fans could celebrate a Brazilian victory over an American opponent in the key women's fight on the undercard as Cris "Cyborg" Justino needed just one minute and 20 seconds to knock out Leslie Smith of the United States.

The Brazilian veteran now has a 16-fight winning streak since her debut in 2005, stopping ten consecutive opponents and winning titles in the Strikeforce and Invicta promotions.

Cyborg looked like Leslie Smith owed her some money. #UFC198

Fans have long clamored for Justino to face former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, but Justino was concerned about making the weight. Rousey's loss to Holly Holm derailed the discussion.

Justino served a one-year suspension in 2012 for testing positive for steroids.

UFC champion Miesha Tate was watching Justino's "impressive performance." ''What a powerful woman! Congrats on making 139lbs! Four more and we can have a title fight!," Tate said on Twitter.

Impressive performance by @criscyborg tonight!! What a powerful woman! Congrats on making 139lbs! 4 more and we can have a title fight!

In other main card fights, welterweight Bryan Barbarena of the United States beat home crowd favorite Warlley Alves in a unanimous decision. In a split decision, Brazilian light heavyweight Mauricio Rua outpointed American Corey Anderson. Middleweight Ronaldo Souza got a technical knockout against countryman Vitor Belfort.
