Nas' new album Life Is Good is dropping later this year, but the rapper won't see a dime of the money that it or any of his other albums generates because the revenue will be going straight to Uncle Sam.

 

Nas owes the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) $6 million according to TMZ, so the government filed documents in Georgia to have the rapper's wages from record sales garnished via ASCAP and BMI publishing until the debt is paid off.


Looks like Nas will be doing a lot of touring just to survive in the next year or so.

Dame Dash has a new lawsuit on his hands. This latest one involves rapper Curren$y.

 

According to TMZ, Spitta filed a lawsuit against Dame alleging that on two separate occasions in 2010 he tried to come to an agreement with the former Roc-A-Fella Records co-owner to release his material, but they couldn't reach a deal. Spitta says Dash released two albums worth of his material anyway.

 

In January 2011 Curren$y signed a deal with Warner Bros giving them exclusive rights to distribute his music. 

 

According to the lawsuit, Dame disregarded Spitta's agreement with Warner Bros and continued to release his music without permission. Now Curren$y wants the business mogul to pay up to the tune of $1.5 million.


Dame denies the claim and asserts that he was given permission to release the music. Dame also says that Curren$y stabbed him in the back when he cut the deal with Warner Bros.


A judge hasn't issued a ruling in the case yet

If there was ever any doubt as to how popular DJ Pauly D is it was put to rest last night.

 

The Jersey Shore star who is also signed to G-Note Records was mobbed by hundreds of fans at a gig in South Padre Island, Texas and extra security had to be called in according to TMZ.

 

Pauly was DJ-ing on a stage that was supposed to have three feet of room separating it from the crowd. But thirsty fans at Louie’s Backyard didn't let that happen as you can see in the pic above. Some fans even tried to climb on the stage.

Things got so hectic that when it was time for Pauly to leave he had to be escorted out by 15 members of security and cops, and even then his shirt was ripped by fans.

 

Luckily he made it out of there safely.
