The current state of The Diplomats is up in the air. The group that has blessed us with so many street anthems appears to be going through some internal turmoil after Cam'Ron took Jim Jones off of his "Oh Yeah" single and blocked him on Instagram.

"Things happen ... shit, you get older. Every book has chapters. This one book you can't go back and read the last chapter," Jim told Ebro in the Morning during a recent interview. "I don't know [if it's over] but I ain't tripping, ya dig? I ain't gon' go through all the back and forth and keep doing all these interviews and people keep asking me about Dipset and when is the next Diplomats album or why don't y'all put a song out."

Jim says he wasn't aware he and Killa had serious issues until he found out his longtime partner-in-rhyme had blocked him on Instagram.

"I thought it was a joke," Jim continued. "I realized it on the day of the Diplomatic Immunity thirteenth anniversary. I was actually trying to put the cover of the album up and tag Zeke, Juelz and your man and I was blocked."

Jim also addressed the issue regarding Cam's song "Oh Yeah."

"To tell you the truth somebody called me and was talking to me about the record," he explained. "And they was like 'He took your verse off that record.' 'Cause I didn't hear the record. I just thought it was a Juelz and Killa record. Respect, that's Dipset all day. Then I was like 'What? Somebody pull the record up. Let me hear what record this is.' And lo and behold it was a record I had jumped on. So when you ask about Diplomat records, don't ask me. There were Diplomat records. There are Diplomat records. Somehow, I'm not making the cut."

Check out the rest of the interview below (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUL8JXo8SZsas) as Jim talks about Stack Bundles, his new album and more.

Future has decided to drop the countersuit he filed in April against his baby's mother, Ciara, after he was awarded joint custody of their 1-year-old son,  Future Zahir Wilburn.

TMZ reports that the 32-year rapper, real name Nayvadius Wilburn, believes spending more time with his son should be his number one priority and doesn't want to stir up more trouble with his ex-fiancee, by continuing to battle her in court.

Ciara, real name Ciara Harris, has not dropped the $15 million defamation lawsuit she filed against her ex in February.

The singer said Future was bad mouthing her in interviews and on social media, including a January tweet when he called her a bitch and said she was making it hard for him to see his child.

"This bitch got control problems," he wrote at the time. "I gotta go through lawyers to see babyfuture...the fuckery for 15k a month. I jus want babyfuture that's all. I been silent for a year & a half. I ran outta patience."

Future also criticized his baby's mother for allowing her fiance, Russell Wilson, to push his son in a stroller after they had only been dating a few months.

"Of course I wouldn't want someone to push my son. That's the number one rule. If I was a kid and my mama had a dude pushing me I would have jumped out the stroller and slapped the sh!t out of her," the rapper said at the time. "You never do that in our community. You don't even bring a man around your son. You've only known this dude for a few months and you're bringing him around your kid. Who does that?"

In Future's countersuit he defended calling Ciara a b!tch, saying he meant "overbearing, complaining or unpleasant — not a lewd or immoral woman."

As far as damaging Cici's musical career, he said that wasn't possible because he believed it had been in the tank for the last 2-3 years. 

His suit further stated that Ciara's last album flopped, she wasn't winning any awards, doesn't have a huge fan base and isn't known worldwide.

Now that he's decided to drop his suit maybe Ciara will do the same.

(Taipei Times) An American man killed himself by cutting his neck in a courtroom in Changhua County yesterday morning, after being convicted of possession of marijuana and sentenced to four years in prison.

The man — identified as 41-year-old US citizen Tyrel Martin Marhanka — was rushed to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

According to witnesses, after the Changhua District Court judge read his ruling, Marhanka turned to the translator, who told him the sentence, before Marhanka was heard saying: “Four years?”

The translator told Marhanka that he could appeal the decision, but he replied: “I don’t want to appeal.”

Becoming agitated, he yelled: “I don’t want to live anymore,” took out two metal objects, and with one in each hand stabbed himself on both sides of the neck, severing the arteries, which gushed blood, according to witnesses.

Court officials said Marhanka had smuggled in a pair of 21cm scissors, which he had separated into two sharp metal blades.

Marhanka was arrested in April last year and charged with possession of marijuana and other narcotics, after police found more than 200 cannabis plants, 195 dried cannabis plants and 10 opium poppies at a rented house in Yongjing Township (永靖), Changhua County.

At the time of his arrest, Marhanka told police officers he grew the plants as a “hobby” and that they were all intended for his own use.

Marhanka had lived in Taiwan for more than 15 years, and had a Taiwanese wife and two children — a son in second grade and a daughter in kindergarten — court officials said.

His wife was distraught when notified of the news, and went to the hospital where he had died.

The district court convened a press conference yesterday afternoon, in which presiding judge Wang Yi-min (王義閔) said the court regretted what happened, and that Marhanka’s family and the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) had been contacted through judiciary channels.

Wang said there was negligence in the incident, adding that the court would improve security measures, including installing an X-ray machine to check on people entering the court’s new building.

Wang said the bailiffs in the courtroom rushed in to help Marhanka and tried to stop the bleeding, but the incident happened too quickly and they were too late to prevent his death.

Medics who rushed Marhanka to the local hospital said the victim’s neck had 12cm and 7cm lacerations on the left and right sides respectively. He was still conscious when they arrived at the hospital, but died about 30 minutes later.

Ayesha Curry couldn't contain her frustration after watching her husband, Stephen Curry, of the Golden State Warriors foul out, then get ejected in the fourth quarter of his team's 115-101 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in game 6 of the NBA Finals Thursday, June 16.

"I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent . Just saw it live sry," Ayesha typed on her Twitter account.

Cleveland was up by a score of 99-87 with 4:22 left in the game. LeBron James had just grabbed a rebound off of a missed free throw from Golden State's Klay Thompson, when Curry was called for his sixth foul while reaching in on James.

Stephen angrily reacted by throwing his mouth piece into the stands, hitting a fan. At that point the referees sent him to the locker room.

Ayesha thought it was a bad call and hopped on Twitter before cooling down. She later deleted her initial tweet and apologized.

"Tweeted in the heat of the moment because the call was uncalled for," she later wrote. "Police racial profiled my father and told him to remove credentials and tried to arrest him. It's been a long night for me. I apologize. I'm okay that we lost... I just can't take people coming at my family for absolutely no reason. Something I don't understand or stand for."

Here's an excerpt from Kim Kardashian's GQ cover story. She goes into detail about the controversy that erupted between her husband, Kanye West, and Taylor Swift when he mentioned the singer in the song "Famous" off of his "The Life of Pablo" album.

Which brings us to the time he rapped about Taylor Swift.

I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex, West muses in the first verse of his The Life of Pablo track “Famous.” Why? I made that bitch famous.

Prior to Pablo, West and Swift appeared to have caulked up the rift in their famously fraught professional relationship. She presented him with an award at the MTV VMAs last summer. He sent her a large cube of flowers. Things remained harmonious for almost a full half year, until the release of “Famous.”

Following an Internet-borne convulsion about the song's content, West issued a series of tweets in which he stated he “called Taylor and had a hour long convo with her about the line,” that she “thought it was funny,” “gave her blessings,” and even “came up with” the lyric. A representative for Swift quickly released a statement crisply denying West's claim: “Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single ‘Famous’ on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, ‘I made that bitch famous.’ ” A day after the album's release, Swift accepted the Grammy for album of the year for 1989, and one portion of her speech—“I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments, or your fame...”—was widely interpreted as a dig at West.

Kanye and Taylor (or Kanye and Taylor's rep) may both be telling the truth here—as they see it. Maybe the duo talked “sex” but not “bitch.” Maybe he misinterpreted her noncommittal politeness as implicit accord. Maybe they both hung up pleased they were finally on the same page.

But Kim says Taylor's deep emotional wound is nonsense—okay, she says it's a lie—and that there's video proof, because a videographer was actually filming their phone call. Why? Because Kim's husband commissions videographers to film everything when he's recording an album, for posterity (and possibly, one day, a documentary). And this is where it gets sticky.

“She totally approved that,” Kim says, shaking her head in annoyance. “She totally knew that that was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn't. I swear, my husband gets so much shit for things [when] he really was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved.” Kim is on a roll now, speaking faster and more animatedly than at any other point during our time together. “What rapper would call a girl that he was rapping a line about to get approval?”

Let's stipulate here that Kim Kardashian West is not the kind of person who forgets that the tape-recorder light is blinking. But just because a rant is carefully chosen for its audience doesn't mean it isn't genuine.

Swift, Kim insists, “totally gave the okay. Rick Rubin was there. So many respected people in the music business heard that [conversation] and knew. I mean, he's called me a bitch in his songs. That's just, like, what they say. I never once think, [gasping] ‘What a derogatory word! How dare he?’ Not in a million years. I don't know why she just, you know, flipped all of a sudden.… It was funny because [on the call with Kanye, Taylor] said, ‘When I get on the Grammy red carpet, all the media is going to think that I'm so against this, and I'll just laugh and say, ‘The joke's on you, guys. I was in on it the whole time.’ And I'm like, wait, but [in] your Grammy speech, you completely dissed my husband just to play the victim again.”

Were they in touch after that?

“No. Maybe an attorney's letter she sent saying, ‘Don't ever let that footage come out of me saying that. Destroy it.’ ”

She sent one?

“Yeah.”

I ask Kim how Taylor Swift's people could have known about the footage, if Swift didn't even realize she was being recorded in the first place. Kim tells me she isn't sure, but she thinks someone from Team Kanye might have called someone from Team Taylor.

“And then they sent an attorney's letter like, ‘Don't you dare do anything with that footage,’ and asking us to destroy it.” She pauses. “When you shoot something, you don't stop every two seconds and be like, ‘Oh wait, we're shooting this for my documentary.’ You just film everything, and whatever makes the edit, then you see, then you send out releases. It's like what we do for our show.”
