Former Death Row Records CEO, Suge Knight, is wanted by law enforcement...again. TMZ reports that two arrest warrants have been issued for his arrest, both stemming from driving on a suspended license.
Suge blew off two hearings this month in California for cases from 2011 and 2012. Bench warrants for his arrest were subsequently issued.
Knight has been in trouble with the law numerous times over the years. Since 1996, he's been sent to prison twice for violating his probation and been arrested for assault, robbery, weed possession and multiple driving offences.
The 2013 BET Awards was going to be a nice showcase for Drake. The Toronto emcee was nominated for a whopping 12 awards and executives were banking on his star power to help boost ratings, but he called the morning of the event to say he wouldn't be showing up.
According to RadarOnline, producers were left scrambling trying to figure out what to do.
“Everything is in flux,” a source said. “The producers are all pulling their hair out.”
Drake posted a message on his Twitter account that said he was staying home to work on his forthcoming third studio album, Nothing Was the Same.
Despite his excuse, many are speculating that the OVO boss simply didn't want to be in the same venue as Chris Brown, who performed during Sunday's show. Breezy and Drake have been feuding ever since a June 2012 bottle throwing brawl between their camps at a New York City club.
Drake recently spoke to GQ about their beef and predicted it might end on a really bad note.
“I don’t want my name to be synonymous with that guy’s name. I really don’t,” Drake told the publication. “I wish we could sit down, just like you and me are right now, and talk it out man-to-man. But that’s not going to happen. I’m not confrontational, but if someone challenges, I’m not going to back down. It’s embarrassing, the amount of media coverage. Two rappers fighting over the woman. He’s not even a rapper, but still, it’s the last way you want your name out there. It distracts from the music. But he’s made me the enemy, and that’s the way it’s gonna stay, I guess. …If I think about it too much, I feel it wrapping around my foot, like I get a feeling it could end really badly.”
The Young Money rapper's presence was still felt at the awards despite him not being their. He won three trophies for Video of the Year and Viewers' Choice for "Started From the Bottom" and Best Collaboration for A$AP Rocky's "F*ckin Problems,"
Ace Hood was giving an interview to Bow Wow and Angela Simmons on the 2013 BET Awards red carpet yesterday when his gold Rolex fell apart. The embarrassing incident was caught on live television and witnessed by millions.
Twitter was quick to react. As a matter of fact, the tweets are still flooding in. Check out the video a few of the comments below.

As a stand up comic I have traveled to every corner of this beautiful country. In my journeys I've found one universal truth: Some idiot will do something stupid and some other moron will record it. And thanks to Al Gore all that crazy ish gets uploaded to the Internet.
I'm gonna sift through all that "crazy" and bring you the best online clips from all over the country. With some help from my favorite white guy, Chris Distefano, and a few more of my friends we will take you on a tour of the new American frontier: The Internet. Don't worry, we're gonna make fun of every American tradition, not just yours. And it's not just videos. There's going to be jokes and sketches. I'm even going to make my friends compete in games that have no prizes.
When our founding fathers landed on Plymouth Rock, who knew their hard work and sacrifice would pave the way for a country of fast food fights, tricked out redneck rides, and white girls twerking. That's right, WHITE girls -- TWERKING. This is America! The melting pot! I'm gonna prove that we may all look different, but deep down we're all equally freaky... well most of us; some of you are just straight crazy.
While former New England Patriots coaches and teammates are still in shock over the arrest of Aaron Hernandez for murder, a possible motive has emerged.
Hernandez, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz have all been arrested and charged in connection with the June 17th execution style murder of 27-year old semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd.
Odin Lloyd
Police now have a theory as to why Hernandez may have wanted Lloyd dead.
According to TMZ, Lloyd knew secrets that could have ended Hernadez's football career and damaged his relationship with his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins.
Aaron Hernadez and Shayanna Jenkins
The 2 secrets involve Hernadez's involvement in several violent incidents and drugs. Authorities think Lloyd threw the secrets in the 23-year old player's face, causing him to want Lloyd out of the picture for good.
While police continue to piece together the case, Lloyd's funeral was held in Boston on Saturday, June 29. More than 500 people attended the service to pay their final respects.
Lloyd's mother, Ursula Ward, had an understandably difficult time letting her son go.
“Don’t let them take my baby away. Please, don’t let them take my baby," Ward pleaded.
Ursula Ward
“I haven’t been able to process any of this since this whole thing happened,” said Boston Bandits' teammate,Dareck Alcindor, of Lloyd's death. “It’s just too crazy. I mean we were on the (defensive) line together. We always had each other’s back. In the time I knew him, I never had a bad vibe about the guy. I think of him, I think of his smile. That’s who Odin was, smiling, always happy. He played very well, and always as a team player.”

Rest in peace Odin Lloyd.

A Philadelphia judge has ordered Meek Mill to provide details of all travel to his probation officer and take etiquette classes.
Meek, real name, Robert Williams, was at a probation hearing on Friday when Common Pleas Court Judge Genece Brinkley handed down the ruling.
Brinkley said Meek needed the etiquette classes to help him explain the nature of his business to the court and refine his use of social media, primarily Twitter. His probation officer has reportedly received death threats from Meek's fans because of some of things he has written.
The judge recommended the classes be conducted by Philadelphia talk show host Dyana Williams because of her knowledge of the music business, according to the Philadelphia Enquirer.
Brinkley added that the etiquette classes were "more important than any concerts he might have."
Meek has to complete the classes before August 4th.
In addition to the etiquette classes, Meek must report all travel plans outside of Philadelphia to his probation officer, Treas Underwood.
The Dream Chasers Records CEO explained that his schedule plans are hectic and sometimes come at the last minute.
"I have my own record label with seven artists. I do radio. I do interviews," Williams said.
The rapper is on probation for a 2008 gun and drug conviction.
