Power 105.1 radio personality Charlamagne Tha God has responded to Kanye West's recent diss. As we previously reported, West was performing at the Bryce Jordan Center in University Park, Pennsylvania on Thursday (February 13), when he began to rant about Charlamagne and Sway Calloway.
"You're trying to make a joke out of what we do?" West said. "Shut the f*ck up! What the f*ck you do? Everybody writing all sh*t to f*cking diss me and talk sh*t, what the f*ck did you do? Charlamagne, Sway, what the f*ck you did? F*ck you did? F*ck these n*ggas' names is? I am Yeezus!"
Charlamagne had this to say in response:
"If Kanye wants to do radio interviews and he doesn't want the host to talk he might as well do video blogs. I just want him to calm down and not get high blood pressure," Charlamage said on the air. "And Kim please go buy Kanye some chocolates or some flowers, ballons for Valentines because he's acting like a single, bitter bitch right now. I just wanna know where was all that when he was here on The Breakfast Club. How can y'all respect that? How do you get mad after the fact? If you sat here in this studio for over an hour and didn't say none of that. But now three to four months later you're ranting about me again. Come on dawg."

Michael Dunn will spend the next 75-years in prison after being found guilty of 4 of 5 counts in the murder trial of Jordan Davis. However, the jury could not reach a verdict on the most serious charge of first-degree murder.
47-year old Dunn was convicted of three counts of attempted second-degree murder and one count of firing into a vehicle The attempted second-degree murder charges carry sentences of 20 years each. 15 years will be added on for shooting into the SUV that carried 17-year old Davis and three of his friends on Nov. 23, 2012.
As we previously reported, Dunn and his fiancee, Rhonda Rouer, pulled into a Jacksonville gas station and parked next to Davis and his three friends on that fateful night. While Rour was inside buying alcohol, an argument was sparked when Dunn either asked or told the teens to turn down their music.
During the argument, Dunn said he saw the barrel of a shotgun sticking out of the rear window where Davis was sitting. He claimed that threats were being made and he feared for his life.

He testified that Davis exited his vehicle to confront him. At that point he reached into his glove compartment, grabbed his 9mm pistol and said, "You're not going to kill me you son of a b*tch," before firing 10 shots into the SUV. He continued to shoot as the teens pulled out of their parking space in an attempt to get away from him.
9 of the 10 shots fired hit the SUV. Davis was struck twice in the leg. A third bullet entered his right side and damaged his ribs, diaphragm, liver, aorta and lungs. He was dead within minutes. None of the other teens were wounded.
Police later searched the Dodge Durago the teens were in and didn't find a gun. It was later determined that Jordan was not outside of the vehicle when he was shot, based on the trajectory of the bullets and his wounds.
Rhonda Rouer
Rouer testified at the trial that she and and her fiance had been drinking at the wedding reception of Dunn's son prior to stopping at the gas station. After the shooting they checked into a hotel where they ordered a pizza and spent the night. Neither one of them called police.
Dunn was arrested at his Satellite Beach, Florida home the following day. Police tracked him down using his license plate number. An alert witness to the shooting wrote it down as Dunn fled the scene.

After today's verdict was read, Davis' parents spoke at a news conference.
"It's been a long, long road. And we're just happy to have a little it of closure," McBath said. "It's sad for Mr. Dunn that he will live the rest of his life in that sense of torment, and I will pray for him. And I've asked my family to pray for him. But we are so grateful for the charges that have been brought against him. We're so grateful for the truth," she continued. "We're so grateful that the jurors were able to understand the common sense of it all. And we will continue to stand. And we will continue to wait for justice for Jordan."
State Attorney Angela Corey said prosecutors would seek a new trial in Duval County on the 1st-degree murder charge.
"Justice for Jordan Davis is as important as it is for any victim," Corey said.
Jordan's mother shared a similar message on Twitter.
Tomorrow is my boy's 19th birthday. I pray we will celebrate not only him but a just and righteous verdict. Patiently we wait.

CARACAS, Venezuela (Associated Press) — Armed vigilantes on motorcycles attacked anti-government demonstrators in Venezuela on Wednesday, setting off a stampede by firing into crowds as the biggest protest against President Nicolas Maduro's year-old administration turned violent. Three people were killed.
Chaos erupted in downtown Caracas when the gang roared up and began shooting at more than 100 protesters who had been sparring with security forces at the tail end of heated but otherwise peaceful protests organized by hard-line members of the opposition. Most of the roughly 10,000 participants in the demonstrations had already gone home.
As people fled in panic, one demonstrator fell to the ground with a bullet wound in his head. Onlookers screamed "assassins" as they rushed the 24-year-old marketing student to a police vehicle. He was later identified by family members as Bassil Da Costa.
Also killed was the leader of a pro-government 23rd of January collective, as militant supporters of Venezuela's socialist administration call themselves. National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello said the "revolutionary" known by his nickname Juancho was "vilely assassinated by the fascists" but he didn't provide details.
The troubles moved eastward to the wealthier neighborhood of Chacao after nightfall, leaving another unidentified demonstrator dead from a bullet wound, district Mayor Ramon Muchacho said via Twitter. Calm returned as midnight approached, leaving smoldering trash cans strewn along several blocks where demonstrators threw rocks at government buildings.
The unrest comes on the heels of a wave of increasingly violent, student-led protests that have spread across Venezuela the past two weeks. Their anger is being fueled by frustration with Maduro's handling of the inflation-plagued economy, worsening crime and human rights concerns.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro
Maduro expressed regret for the fatalities, which be blamed squarely on "fascist" groups that he said are conspiring to overthrow him. He said he ordered security forces to protect major cities and block any actions to destabilize the country.
"Whoever goes out to provoke violence without a permit to demonstrate will be detained," Maduro said in a nationally televised address to commemorate the 200th anniversary of a key battle in Venezuela's war of independence.
The threats show no signs of deterring hard-liner opposition leaders, who in a late-night news conference vowed to remain on the streets. They blamed the violence on government supporters who infiltrated the big protest march as it was concluding, citing as evidence the police's refusal to use force to contain a small group throwing rocks.
More than 30 anti-government protesters were arrested and are being investigated for inciting violence, Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres said.
About two dozen people were believed injured during the clashes and were being treated at hospitals, although the government did not provide a tally of casualties, said Inti Rodriguez, a member of the human rights group Provea.
Pro-government supporters countered with a march of their own Wednesday to express support for Maduro, who has accused opponents of trying to violently oust him from power just two months after his party's candidates prevailed by a landslide in mayoral elections.
While anti-government demonstrators vented frustration over a range of issues they were united in their resolve to force Maduro out of office by constitutional means.
"All of these problems — shortages, inflation, insecurity, the lack of opportunities — have a single culprit: the government," Leopoldo Lopez, a Harvard University-trained former mayor, told crowds gathered earlier in the day at Plaza Venezuela in Caracas.
Lopez, who leads a faction of the opposition that has challenged what it considers the meek leadership of two-time presidential candidate Henrique Capriles, called the protests "a moral and patriotic duty."
"If we don't do it now, then when? And if it's not us, who will?" he said.
The crowd then marched to the federal prosecutor's office to demand the release of 13 demonstrators who human rights groups say were illegally arrested during the past two weeks of protests.
A smaller group of mostly students lingered after most demonstrators went home, setting fire to trash and ripping apart concrete sidewalks and steel grating to throw at police and national guardsmen, who responded by firing rubber bullets into the air.
Almost none of the scenes of violence were broadcast on local television, which is dominated by state-run channels and private networks reluctant to criticize the government, leaving Venezuelans to turn to social media to stay informed.
International media outlets also faced obstacles. Colombia's NTN24 was providing live coverage but it was pulled from pay TV without explanation. Correspondents for The Associated Press and other media organizations were roughed up by police who smashed or seized their cameras.

If Tha Carter V is really Lil Wayne's swan song it's fitting the announcement of it's release date was made in his hometown of New Orleans during the NBA's All-Star Weekend.
Drake let the crowd at The House of Blues know when the disc will arrive in stores as he shared the stage with his YMCMB boss.
"If you wanna hear Lil Wayne at his best. If you wanna hear Young Money at they best. Carter V May 5th. Just know we about this sh*t for real," Drake said.
Wayne has been talking about retiring from the music business for some time now. Although he's only 31-years old, the rapper has 15 albums under his belt if you include his projects with the Hot Boys, Birdman, Rich Gang and Young Money.
When you throw in his 19 official mixtapes, countless features and 2 EP's, it doesn't seem far fetched that Wayne might be drained by the demands of the industry he's been in since his early teens.
He told Hot 97's Angie Martinez in 2011 that he would be gone by the age of 35 because he wanted to spend more time with his children.
"I have four kids, and I would feel selfish not to [retire] at that age. I would feel selfish still going to the studio when it's such a vital point in their lives," he conceded.
In June 2013 Wayne appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live. At that time he said Tha Carter V would probably be his last album.
"I want to retire after Tha Carter V, which I hope would be my last album," Wayne told Jimmy.
What's your opinion? Will Wayne hang up the mic after Tha Carter V? If so, where would you rank him in your top MC's list?

During Kanye West's December 23, 2013, Yeezus tour stop in Toronto, Canada, the rapper told the crowd he was done ranting for at least six months.
"Everything I'm saying that's not allowed, soak it in right now. This might be the last time y'all hear me talk sh*t for a long time," West told the audience. "Might be another like six months. At least. You're just gonna have to run back [my past] interviews and sh*t if you wanna hear some realness!"
Less than two months later West came to realize what everybody else already knew. Ranting comes as naturally to him as breathing, and there is now way in hell he can make it through an entire show without firing shots at someone.
During Thursday night's show at the Bryce Jordan Center in University Park, Pennsylvania, Mr. West got some pent up frustration off his chest as he went in on Charlamagne Tha God and Sway Calloway.
West was unusually meek when he appeared on The Breakfast Club on November 26, 2013. Charlamagne challenged, insulted and kept him in check the entire time. The Power 105.1 radio personality referred to Yeezy as "Kanye Kardashian" and West didn't go off at any point during the 42-minute interview.
That same month he visited Sway in the Morning. In response to a question by Sway, Kanye had an epic meltdown, telling the host "you don't have the answers," among other things.
Although it didn't come up during the interview, Kanye was obviously still mad at Sway for being ranked No. 7 on the 2013 MTV "Hottest MCs In the Game" list. Calloway is part of a panel that creates the list, but West singled him out for what he perceived as an insult.
Fast forward to last night's show. The G.O.O.D. Music CEO took the opportunity to continue taking a dump on Sway and finally fired back at Charlamagne.
"You're trying to make a joke out of what we do?" West said. "Shut the f*ck up! What the f*ck you do? Everybody writing all sh*t to fucking diss me and talk sh*t, what the f*ck did you do? Charlamagne, Sway, what the f*ck you did? F*ck you did? F*ck these n*ggas' names is? I am Yeezus!"
