Bow Wow seems to be having a little bit of financial trouble the days. Earlier this week the rapper was ordered to cough up $3,000 a month in child support to his baby mama Joie Chavis for their 1-year old daughter, Shai.

In court Bow Wow told the judge he was making only $4,000 a month as an employee of Cash Money Records and only had $1,500 in the bank according to TMZ. The rapper also said he was leasing a jeep.

Luckily for Bow Wow, he was just named as one of the hosts of 106 & Park which should help ease the financial pressure, but he still has to deal with a creditor who has been chasing him for three years.

According to TMZ, Bow Wow leased a 2005 Ferrari F430 back in 2008, but quickly fell behind on payments. In 2009 the leasing company sued him and got a judgment for $216,084.

Three years later the leasing company hasn't received a dime. With interest tacked on Bow Wow now owes them $283,785.

Nas is pretty much a living legend in the rap game. In a career that has spanned 20-plus years he has dropped classic gems both as a solo artist as well as collaborations with Mobb Deep, Jay-Z, Damian Marley, AZ, 50 Cent and more.

In a new outtake from his BECOMING interview, Nas speaks on when he realized he wanted to become a performer and his early musical influences.

"I would say since I could remember. Watching a great musical movie like 'Grease,' watching the Jackson 5 cartoon, Kiss the rock band. That looked like where all the action was. I knew that was the life for me, being in front of audiences" Nas said, explaining when he first got the itch to perform. "I knew it... you know you're not sure for real back then, but in my mind I prepared for it."

Nas said his early musical influences were Rick James, The Jackson 5 and James Brown.

"They were like heroes, I thought they were great," he added.

T.I.is making a habit out of being in the right place at the right time.

Creed singer Scott Stapp appeared on the VH1 show Big Morning Buzz on Wednesday to promote his new book Sinner's Creed. While there he told the story of how T.I. saved his life after he tried to commit suicide.

Stapp was in a downward spiral of drug and alcohol abuse several years ago. He checked himself into a penthouse at Miami's Delano Hotel, and went on a 3-day binge.

In his state of paranoia Stapp began to hallucinate thinking the cops were going to come through the door. He decided he didn't want to embarrass his family so he climbed over the balcony and fell 40 feet onto the balcony of another room. As a result of the fall Stapp fractured his skull, broke his hip and nose. He lay there for 2 1/2 hours until his "guardian angel" showed up.

"It was rapper T.I.... he immediately took care of the situation and saved my life," Stapp said.

The two had met each other briefly a couple of years prior and shared a love for Alabama.

"I had met T.I. back in 2004, we were both writing songs for The Passion of The Christ: Songs Inspired By soundtrack and we had briefly interacted there and knew what each other looked like," he revealed. "We'd talked about being fans of Alabama."

Stapp shared that it was fate that T.I. found him because it was the only room available in the hotel.

"He walked in, and I found out later it was the only room left in the hotel and he came in off the street and came out, and as I'm laying on the ledge, blood fell to [T.I.'s] feet and he looked up and he had an Alabama hat on," he explained. "I said, 'roll tide,' and then he looked at me and put two and two together and really saved my life."

It's the second time we've heard about Tip saving someone's life. In 2010 he talked a suicidal man down from the top of a 22-story building in Atlanta.
