Brian Pumper has picked up quite a few fans as he tries to make the transition from a porn actor to a rapper.
But the man who holds the distinction of breaking Montana Fishburne's back in her first filmed XXX scene might have a harder time convincing established rappers he can be taken seriously.
Juelz Santana, a member of The Diplomats just dissed pumper on Twitter, suggesting Brian kill himself for spitting what Juelz feels was a gay line in one of his rhymes.
"A! LMAO NO HOMO how u tell another n*gga "he ant packing no meet"super HOMO This B.pumper n*gga is outta control #killyaself f*cking weirdo"
Juelz is referring to a line Pumper says in his Jay-Z diss, "She Aint Statisfied"
I guess now, we find out in Brian is serious about this game and comes back with a diss of his own. But I honestly don't feel he like will diss Juelz, who unlike Jay-Z might take to the time to unleash a lyrical beating on B.Pumper.

Incarcerated rapper Lil Wayne has fired off a lawsuit against his former booking agents, accusing them of holding back $375,000 in tour profits.
The hitmaker and his company Young Money Touring Inc. allege the owners of Ujaama Talent Agency Inc., Erskine Isaac and David Nelson, owe him money from two of his America's Most Wanted Music Festivals in 2009.
The complaint claims Isaac and Nelson "elected to divert to Ujaama's own bank account an amount not less than $375,000, the sum that Isaac and Nelson maintain is owed to Ujaama for the tours in question."
Lil Wayne has employed the firm's services since the start of his career and participated in four different tours with Ujaama from 2008 to 2010, according to the suit filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York on August 16.
AllHipHop.com reports that the rapper's lawyer asked the pair for the money before filing the suit, but they refused to hand it over.
Lil Wayne is currently serving time at New York's Rikers Island jail on weapons possession charges and is due for release later this year.

Video After The JumpYou can't throw the year's biggest party without inviting the artist with the best-selling album of 2010. Especially if that guy happens to be Eminem, whose history with the MTV Video Music Awards is long, legendary and full of the kind of eye-popping moments that make the VMAs the must-TiVo event of the year.
Slim Shady will bless the show's stage on September 12, where he is nominated for eight Moonmen for his smash comeback album Recovery, the best-selling non-country release of the year.
Em joins an already star-packed roster of performers that includes Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Drake, B.o.B and Florence and the Machine, as well as in-house DJ Deadmau5 and host Chelsea Handler. The list of presenters already includes Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, Trey Songz, Ashley Greene, Selena Gomez and Ne-Yo.
Over the years, Eminem has given some of the most iconic performances of the modern VMA era, none bigger than 2000's Night of the Living Shadys. During that show, Em began his run through Video of the Year-winning hit "The Real Slim Shady" out on the streets of Manhattan, surrounded by an army of clones dressed exactly like him. The brigade then marched into Radio City Music Hall as Em finished "Shady" and then busted into a visceral "The Way I Am."
Even when he wasn't performing on the show, Eminem — who ranks sixth on the list of all-time VMA winners — has made his presence felt over the years, as he did in 2002 with his infamous run-in with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
Viewers can vote for general VMA categories, including Best New Artist, by visiting VMA.MTV.com. In addition, text voting for Best New Artist is open to all wireless carrier subscribers by texting BNA to 97979. Voting continues through the show, live on September 12. Also, Verizon Wireless subscribers can vote in all categories by texting VMA to 97979 (standard message rates apply.)
The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12 at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for the winners from now through September 12.

How does a financially strapped city with a shrinking manufacturing base and rising unemployment attempt to make a little extra cash?
Tax the bloggers.
The city is demanding that bloggers pay $300 for a business license, whether or not the blog brings in a fraction of that amount in profit, according to the Philadelphia City Paper.
Marilyn Bess blogs about eco-friendly living in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. She occasionally contributes to the DIY site eHow.com. Her profit in the last few years - $50.
She told the City Paper that she received a letter from the city in May, demanding the $300 for a "business privilege license."
According to the city's website, every individual, partnership, association and corporation engaged in a business, profession or other activity for profit within the City of Philadelphia must file a Business Privilege Tax Return.
Whether the blog earns a profit does not matter.
Andrea Mannino of the Philadelphia Department of Revenue, told the City Paper that by choosing the option to make money from ads — regardless of how much or little money is actually generated — qualifies a blog as a business.
"It sounds ridiculous," blog and social media author Debbie Weil told the Daily News. "Does the city have the resources to go after every blogger? I'm not sure they understand the difference between blogging for business and personal satisfaction."
These business privilege taxes and licenses are far from popular in Philadelphia. Smaller vendors have been crying foul about the city randomly cracking down on licenses and fees.
Many Philadelphians who didn't know that they owed taxes on their unprofitable blogs missed out on tax amnesty offered back in the spring.
Still, not all bloggers are concerned with rushing to print out new tax forms. Many didn't even know about it until it was reported on Monday.
"It wouldn't affect me in the least,” says Mike Meech, author of the Phillies blog Fightins.com. "I write under a pseudonym so they'd be sending a $300 bill to a fictitious name."

There's no way to know for sure if Fantasia Barrino's suicide attempt was real or a publicity stunt. But her actions following her release from the hospital call into question her true motives.
Just one day after getting out of the hospital for an aspirin overdose, the singer is seen with the married man she is accused of having an affair with. A camera crew was with them. It's believed they were being filmed for a segment on Fantasia's VH1 Behind The Music special, which happens to air on the same day her new album, 'Back To Me' is being released.
Fantasia insists the suicide attempt was real. She's quoted in a story that appears today on PEOPLE.com as saying:
"I didn't have any fight in me. I didn't care about anything. I just wanted out. At that moment, I wanted out. I wanted it to be over with – all of it, all of that [expletive]. I just sat in the closet and looked at the mirror and took all the pills in the bottle. I wanted to go to sleep and just be at peace. I knew exactly what I was doing. You can't accidentally take a whole bottle of pills. I was tired of people doing me wrong, constantly, over and over again, dealing with my family – my father, dealing with men and their [expletive] – I was tired. My head was hurting me. I was over it."
Maybe Fantasia's head was hurting because she is facing a possible lawsuit from Paula Cook. The wife of Antwaun Cook, the man who's been breaking Barrino's back for a hot minute now.
"[Paula Cook] has threatened via her lawyers to me to sue Fantasia," the singer's lawyer, Gena Morris, told PEOPLE.North Carolina is one of seven states that allows the "other man" or "other woman" to be sued for alienation of affection and criminal conversation.
In March a woman named Anne Lunquist was ordered to pay $9 millions dollars to Cynthia Shackelford of North Carolina for breaking up her marriage under that very law.
Fantasia and Antwuan Cook With Camera Crew One Day After Her Release From Hospital For "Overdose"
So if Fantasia wasn't faking a suicide attempt, it could be the possibility of losing everything she has motivated her to end it all or at least seek sympathy.
"I remember waking up in the hospital [and thinking], 'It didn't work, I'm still here in this hellhole. Still here with all this drama going on,'" she now says.
Fantasia better hope Paula Cook decides to take it easy on her or that "hellhole" she thinks she's been living in is going to get a whole lot hotter.

(CNN) -- Think you had a hellish commute this morning? Just be thankful you're not in China, where a traffic jam stretching more than 100 km (62 miles) has forced drivers to keep their feet planted on brake pedals for nine days.
The gridlock, which started August 14, involves thousands of trucks between the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the Chinese capital of Beijing, according to state media.
Fender-benders and broken-down vehicles are adding to the chaos, state media reported.
Some drivers played cards to pass the time, while others fumed about nearby vendors taking advantage of their predicament by gouging food prices.
Still, some opted to not take detours to avoid farther travel and toll costs.
Traffic congestion is a common problem in China. But construction on a section of the Beijing-Tibet Expressway has forced more traffic to National Expressway 110, which runs roughly parallel.
Roads leading to Beijing are particularly notorious for turning into parking lots.
"If there's no traffic jam in the city, that would be news," Niu Fengrui, director of the Institute for Urban and Environmental Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told state media.
"Our government should pick up the pace of urban infrastructure construction and spend some of its budget," he said.
But drivers are nowhere near the finish line. Construction is scheduled to continue until September 13

Video After The JumpLloyd recently met with Dr Dre and got the chance to hear the long awaited 'Detox' album and came away impressed.
"It sounds like.....it's history, it's classic, it's epic. It's like L.A. stand up...it's like West Coast. This guy, he's a legend, he's not the youngest guy in the game. So for him to still have the youth by the balls and be able to come out with stuff that's constantly changing. I think it's incredible and it felt like magic."
Lloyd also spoke on Dre's work ethic and what the West Coast legend thought of his new record with Polow Da Don.
"Actually he walked in when me and Polow had just finished the single, Lay It Down. And he heard the ad libbing at the end. And he was like 'damn'. That reaction alone for me, was like validation, so shout out to Dre."
When asked if he would be appearing on 'Detox', Lloyd said "have faith man."

Video After The JumpA security guard in Santa Fe Springs, California is lucky to be alive today, after batting with two would be thieves.
This all went down at a AP Natural Solutions, A medical marijuana store.
Two men enter the store pretending to be customers, one pulls out a gun while his partner manages to take the security guard's gun.
That's when the security guard made either a very brave, or very dumb decision when he starts scrapping with the robbers. The three go at it, until the gunmen try to get out of the room they're in, but the door is locked.
One of the robbers starts firing bullets at the door handle in an unsuccessful attempt to get it to unlock.
Finally the security guard lets them out. Other than catching some shrapnel from the bullets that were fired, the guard didn't suffer any major injuries.
The thieves only escaped with the guard's gun and holster.
The security guard has a lot of heart, but the weed in that store isn't worth his life. Hopefully nothing like this happens to him again, but if it does he should not only give the thieves the weed and money, but also help them bag it up and live to see another day.

Video After The JumpBack in July we reported the story of homo thug Antoine Dodson. An Alabama man man who saved his sister from an attack by an intruder, then hilariously threatened the would-be rapist on the evening news.
Now Antoine is getting the last laugh, as a song spoofing his threats has gone viral and is charting on the Billboard Hot 100.
The "Bed Intruder Song" made it's debut at # 89 on the Hot 100. It also debuts on Hot Digital Songs at No. 49 with 30,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Antoine and his sister, Kelly Dodson, who was attacked get 50% of the song's profits.
The Gregory Brothers from youtube's AutotuneTheNews are responsible for making the spoof. Evan Gregory spoke to Billboard about the song's unlikely success.
"Why I think people are latching onto it is frankly quite similar to why they latch onto a classic ballad or pop song that tops the charts -- because there's real emotion behind it that people identify with, even if, in this case, it was for unusual reasons," he said
Congrats to Antoine and his sister for turning what could have been a family disaster into a money making venture.

What do Jennifer Aniston, Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber have in common?
They've now all raised the ire of Bill O'Reilly.
A week after O'Reilly called Aniston "destructive to society" for playing a single mom in The Switch, he took aim Friday at Kardashian and Bieber, who recently posed together by the beach for an Elle magazine photo shoot.
Joking that Kardashian is "42," (she's 29) and that Bieber, 16, "looks like Ringo Starr," the O'Reilly Factor host wondered if the The Graduate/"Mrs. Robinson" themed pics were appropriate.
"I think it's gross," Republican strategist Margaret Hoover said during the chat. "It's a 16 year-old having an affair with a celebutante!"
Panelist Rebecca Diamond argued: "It's every sixteen-year-old male's dream to have pictures with Kim Kardashian."
O'Reilly, 60, claimed that he wasn't interested in sexy older women when he was Bieber's age. "I wanted to be a baseball player [when I was 16]," he said. "I didn't want to hang around with Kim Kardashian...I had a baseball bat and a bat and [a pair of] ice skates! That's what I was doing."
Suggesting a double standard at work, O'Reilly finally noted, "I will tell you this: If a 16-year-old girl was pictured with a 29-year-old man in any of that, he'd be in big trouble."
Singer Faith Evans got caught up at a DUI checkpoint in Los Angeles and was taken into custody last night (August 21).
The former wife of rapper Notorious B.I.G. was booked on suspicion of DUI after police detected alcohol during the stop, according to TMZ.
No word yet on her blood alcohol level.
Faith is trying to get her career back on track and is expected to release an album in October.
