As was the case with Tupac Shakur, a sex tape has emerged involving late West Coast singer Nate Dogg according to TMZ.
The 5-minute tape is being shopped to various porn outlets without any offers being made so far. Hopefully a buyer won't surface and Nate can rest in peace.

If DMX wants to move forward with plans to tour Europe he first will have to clear up the matter of a $1 million dollar child support debt.
TMZ is reporting the rapper is being prevented from leaving the country by a law prohibiting a parent owing a substantial amount of child support from obtaining a passport.
One of Dark Man's ex's, Patricia Trejo, told L.A. Superior Court last week that X owes ten years worth of child support for their daughter and she wants him to start paying up now.
X says he isn't sure if the child is his and wants a DNA test before he makes payments causing the stalemate.
DMX reportedly has at least 10 children.

On what had to be an incredibly stressful day for both the Brown and Houston families singer Bobby Brown left the funeral of his ex wife Whitney Houston before the service had barely gotten underway.
TMZ is reporting that Brown had been approved by Houston's family to attend the funeral with two other people, but showed up with nine instead. He also wanted to sit with his and Whitney's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, but wasn't allowed to.
Brown issued a statement afterwards through his publicist.
My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston. We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions. I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move. Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi-Kristina. In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.
After the funeral Rev. Al Sharpton was asked if Brown had been a distraction by a member of the press.
"Bishop Jakes and I spoke with him. He showed nothing but love and respect for Whitney," Sharpton said. "I wish people would leave Bobby alone."

Jeremy Lin is like a lot of other 23-year old guys in some ways. He loves sports and hip-hop. But he's also quite unique. He's a star player in the world's biggest media market and he shuns mainstream music for Christian.
In a recent interview with Fuse, the New York Knicks guard spoke about what artist's are on his current playlist.
"An artist you gotta check out is Lecrae, he's a Christian rapper, just raps a lot about the Gospel, and about Christian music," Lin said. "I really enjoy his lyrics as well, so if you're a big lyrics guy, I think that'd be a good fit for you. I listen to something that mellows me out. Hillsong is a Christian band, and they play a lotta contemporary Christian music. I listen to them to remind myself why I'm playing the game, and remind myself I'm playing to glorify God. I really try to just focus on that. I try not to get too hyped up otherwise I find myself kinda burned out before the game or going into the game with a little too much energy playing out of character. So I try to slow it down a little bit."

After 49 days holed up in an Angolan hotel concert promoter Patrick Allocco and his son have finally been freed. As we previously reported the two had their passports taken and were not allowed to leave the country until $315,000 that was paid to Nas and opening act Jemiah Jai was repaid to local promoter Henrique "Riquhino" Miguel for a New Year's Eve concert they failed to appear at.
In addition to the $315,000 Miguel wanted $75,000 more to be paid to him.
Nas finally paid back the $300,000 he was advanced, but Jai refused to pay back her end. It's unclear if she ever paid the money back but the Alloco's are free according to TMZ.
“An order was entered today by Angolan authorities lifting the travel ban which prevented [Patrick] and his son from leaving the country for 49 days after [Nas] failed to show for a New Year's Eve concert," Alloco's rep told TMZ on Friday (February 17).
The two were escorted by U.S. Embassy Officials on a flight to Lisbon, and are expected to arrive back home in Newark, NJ today.
