Taxstone is not easing up on his accusation that Cam'Ron is a snitch for mentioning his 2005 shooting in Washington, D.C., in the song "You Gotta Love It."

After Cam'Ron responded Wednesday, May 25, in a video to Tax's controversial VladTV interview where he also called Tupac Shakur a "rat," the podcaster doubled down on his statements via Twitter and threatened to smack Killa.

"If you a rat you a rat don't Try to change the definition," Tax wrote. "It's cool man can't change The definition of Rat. Man up and be honest and whatever smoke you with I'm with it twice. Damn nigga can't even be a man and admit his wrong thugs don't do that but TRU life already proved he wasn't that. Then he gone put 3,400 through a money machine lmaooooo.

UNION SQUARE, Manhattan (WABC) --Rapper Troy Ave was one of four people shot in a third-floor green room at the venue Irving Plaza Wednesday night, before a T.I. performance.

One man died from his injuries.

At 10:15 p.m. Wednesday, the rapper T.I. was about to take the stage at the 1,025-person ballroom-style music venue when the shooting began.

It's not yet known how many people were inside the building at 17 Irving Place during the shooting.

Troy Ave, 30, whose real name is Roland Collins, was the first person shot. He was hit in the leg and is expected to recover. He was taken to the hospital.

A 33-year-old man was shot in the stomach and pronounced dead at Beth Israel Hospital. A 34-year-old man was shot in the chest and is stable at Bellevue Hospital.

A 26-year-old woman also was shot in the leg and was taken to Bellevue in stable condition.

No arrests were made.

The shooting is not believed to be connected to TI, who left the green room before the shots were fired. But an appearance scheduled for later in the night at another club, 1 Oak, was canceled and police closed the club for a period.

Rappers Maino and Uncle Murda were performing when the shooting started. The New York City Police Department is looking into whether the shooting was linked to a dispute between crews linked to Maino and Troy Ave.

There were metal detectors for T.I. concert-goers at Irving Plaza. All the people in the green room were credentialed, and it is possible the suspect was also credentialed.

Detectives will interview everyone who was in the green room at the time of the shooting and look at video footage from inside and outside the venue. They are canvasing nearby businesses for video. Ballistics were recovered from the green room area.

Podcaster Taxstone stirred up a hornet's nest Wednesday, May 25, during a Vlad TV interview where he called Tupac Shakur a snitch for what he believes was the late rapper's implication that The Notorious B.I.G. was involved in his 1994 shooting at Quad Studios in New York City.

Tax also included Cam'Ron in the same category.

In 2005 Cam'Ron was shot while driving his blue Lamborghini in Washington, D. C. At the time he and Jay Z weren't on good terms.

The following year Killa released a Hov diss song titled "You Gotta Love It."

"O.K. First off, you a bitch nigga / Only reason I'm doing this / I'mma just name 5 reasons real quick, got a hundred fifty / First - you stole Rocafella from Dame / Second - you stole Kanye from Dame / Third - you stole Rocawear from Dame / Fourth - I seen the nigga throw that diamond up before them shots was fired," Cam rapped.

Tax told Vlad that the reference to Roc-A-Fella Records' diamond logo would make police assume Cam was talking about someone from the label, which would make the Harlem rapper a snitch as well.

Cam soon hopped on Instagram and posted a response video.

"I just woke up and some nigga talking about I'm snitching," Cam says. "Let me explain something to y'all motherfuckers. Snitching is when you have paperwork that you tried to send somebody to jail or you sent somebody to jail. Not what you hear in a rap song. Not what you hear in an interview ... interrogation room. Not on the streets, jail bars. I actually went to jail for not snitching, nigga," Killa continued, "I violated my probation for being in D.C. and didn't tell. So I went to jail on Rikers Island for violating my probation."

Cam's video had the following caption.

"#FactsAndFabric I'm not even gonna say a nigga name.. But I'm wit the shits my nigga.. Get off my dick.. Lol.. And get to da money.. #UfinishOrYouDone and stop try and dis Tupac"

Killer Mike has become one of hip-hop's most prominent political speakers in recent memory with his aid in the Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign. At times, he tends to overlook certain news topics since "there's bigger sh** to worry about than how Trump feels about the KKK." Telling DJ Vlad he doesn't think about Donald Trump whatsoever, Killer Mike simply explained there's "parts of the stage show that I refuse to pay attention to - that's one of them."

Moving on, Killer Mike - born Michael Render - shared his personal experiences with police brutality, and how he realized "the trap" wasn't for him after getting assaulted by the Atlanta Police Department's now-disbanded Red Dog unit. "Selling drugs is not somebody sitting in a bando with cocaine and f**king guns," Killer Mike made clear. According to him, young men who sell drugs today are "being used for cheap labor," and at best make upwards of $200 a week. "The trap is literally dead," he added while discussing the origin of the term.

Killer Mike also revealed he believes in the right of the KKK, among other things. "Now I also believe if you try to interfere with my right, I have a right to kill you. Dead. That's simply it," he offered while nodding his head. "What's dangerous to me is not a racist wearing Air Jordans and a white robe. What's scary to me is racists who secretly hide their racism behind laws and policies and wear black robes."

Famed podcaster Taxstone stirred up controversy when he called 2Pac a rat for comments made about the shooting at Quad Studios, and he clarified the statement during a recent interview with VladTV. Taxstone said that he believes that the late rapper insinuated to who shot him, and by his definition that makes him a rat. 

During the conversation Taxstone also spoke about Cam'ron saying that he saw "the niggas throw that diamond up before them shots was fired," after he was shot in D.C. in 2005. Going by his own definition of what is snitching, Taxstone says he believes Cam'ron snitched in this situation.

Betrayal, Family, Love, Vengeance and Justice are the themes of the trailer for season 3 of the hit STARZ crime drama, "Power."

Which way will Ghost (Omari Hardwick) turn with Kanan (Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson) wanting him dead and Holly (Lucy Walters) trying to turn his best friend Tommy (Joseph Sikora) against him?

Those questions and many more will be answered beginning on the July 17 season premiere, as the show shifts to Sundays for 10 action packed one-hour episodes.

“There’s representation of this lifestyle in every cop film that you’ve seen. But it’s the guy that jumps the gate and ends up in jail, not the one who finds success,” executive producer and star, 50 Cent, told EW. “When you show that side of it, it [speaks] to the rebellious streak in all of us.”

“Together, we’ve really constructed a world where all the choices are deliberate,” added the show's creator and showrunner Courtney Kemp of collaborating with Jackson on the forthcoming season’s storyline. “Ghost has no idea how to just be James, and how to let go of his Ghost persona entirely. He doesn’t know how to go straight. The theme of the season is ‘Be careful what you wish for.’ But is there something within Ghost that keeps him from being that person he wants to be?”

Head over to EW to watch the season 3 trailer and tune in to STARZ on Sunday, July 17, at 9 p.m. Eastern for the premiere.

Chris Brown scored a big legal victory in court on Tuesday, May 24, over Nia Guzman, the mother of his one-year old daughter Royalty Brown.

Guzman was seeking to have Brown's visitations monitored and limited because she claims the singer uses drugs and is affiliated with gangs.

The judge in the case shot down her request. Brown will continue to have joint legal and physical custody of Royalty. He gets 12 unmonitored visits a month.

TMZ reports that Guzman is also asking that Brown be ordered to cough up $16,000 a month in child support instead of the $2,500 he's currently paying. There's been no ruling on that request yet.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — She called him "Mr. Cosby" and considered him a trusted friend and mentor.

But 20 minutes after Bill Cosby offered her three blue pills and told her to take them with the wine he had set out, Andrea Constand's legs began to wobble "like jelly," her eyes went blurry and her head began to throb.

Cosby helped her to a couch in his living room, where she later realized he violated her as she lay helplessly in a stupor, she told police in 2005.

On Tuesday, a judge ordered the 78-year-old Cosby to stand trial on sexual assault charges on the strength of Constand's decade-old police statement, sparing the former Temple University employee the need to testify at the preliminary hearing.

Cosby could get 10 years in prison if convicted in the case, the only criminal charges brought against the comedian out of the barrage of allegations that he drugged and molested dozens of women over five decades. He is free on $1 million bail.

A trial date was not immediately set.

Cosby, looking less frail than he did when he was arrested five months ago, seemed unfazed by District Judge Elizabeth McHugh's decision.

"Mr. Cosby is not guilty of any crime, and not one single fact presented by the commonwealth rebuts this truth," his lawyers said in a statement afterward.

The hearing was not the face-to-face confrontation between accuser and accused that some had anticipated: Constand, who is now a massage therapist in Toronto, was not in the courtroom, and the judge ruled that she did not have to testify at this stage. Instead, prosecutors had portions of her 2005 police statement read into the record.

While authorities in recent months have paraphrased her account and quoted fragments, this was apparently the first time that large sections of her statement — or Cosby's, for that matter — were made public.

Constand told police that the comedian penetrated her with his fingers and fondled her at his suburban Philadelphia mansion in 2004 after giving her what he said was herbal medication. After taking the pills, she said, "everything was blurry and dizzy."

"I told him, 'I can't even talk, Mr. Cosby.' I started to panic," she told police.

She said she awoke with her bra askew and did not remember undoing it.

Cosby's lawyers argued unsuccessfully that having a police officer read Constand's statement instead of putting her on the stand would be third-hand testimony and would deprive him of his right to confront his accuser. But reading a police statement into the record is common practice at preliminary hearings in Pennsylvania.

The defense also argued that Constand was having a relationship with a married man and that they had engaged in "petting" during her two or three earlier visits to his home.

In his own 2005 statement to police, excerpts of which were also read in court, Cosby said Constand never said "no" as he put his hand down her pants. He told police the pills were over-the-counter Benadryl that he takes to help him sleep.

Cosby attorney Brian McMonagle also questioned why Constand continued to see the comedian and even returned to the house to meet with him after the alleged assault.

In addition, the defense seized on discrepancies in the three police statements Constand gave, including her shifting memory of precisely when the encounter occurred.

Cosby settled with Constand for an undisclosed sum in 2006 after testifying behind closed doors about his extramarital affairs, his use of quaaludes to seduce women and his efforts to hide payments to former lovers from his wife.

But prosecutors reopened the criminal case last year after dozens of women leveled similar allegations and after Cosby's sealed testimony in Constand's lawsuit was made public.

Cosby's lawyers are trying to get the case thrown out, arguing that a previous prosecutor made a binding promise a decade ago that the comic would never be charged.

He is also fighting defamation lawsuits across the country for allegedly branding his accusers liars and is trying to get his homeowner insurance to pay his legal bills.

The Associated Press does not normally identify people who say they were victims of sex crimes unless they agree to be named publicly, which Constand has done.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department intends to seek the death penalty against Dylann Roof, the man charged with killing nine black parishioners last year in a church in Charleston, South Carolina, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Tuesday.

"The nature of the alleged crime and the resulting harm compelled this decision," Lynch said in a brief statement that said the department had considered "all relevant factual and legal issues."

Roof is awaiting trial on federal hate crime charges in connection with the June 17 Emanuel AME Church shooting, which contributed to a national conversation about race relations and ultimately led to the removal of a Confederate battle flag from the grounds of the South Carolina Statehouse.

Roof, who is white, appeared in photos waving Confederate flags and burning or desecrating U.S. flags, and purportedly wrote of fomenting racial violence. Survivors told police that he hurled racial insults during the attack. He was arrested a day after the shootings when a motorist spotted his Confederate license plate.

Federal prosecutors charged Roof with hate crimes one month after the shooting, saying he was motivated by racial hatred and a desire to commit a "notorious attack" when he opened fire inside the church.

"To carry out these twin goals of fanning racial flames and exacting revenge, Roof further decided to seek out and murder African-Americans because of their race," Lynch said at the time.

Though the Justice Department says it's committed to seeking the death penalty, federal executions are exceedingly rare. The last time a federal defendant was put to death was in 2003. And President Barack Obama has said he's "deeply concerned" about the death penalty's implementation.

Roof's attorneys in the federal case have said their client would be willing to plead guilty if the death penalty were not on the table. Defense lawyer David Bruck said he had no comment on the federal decision to seek the death penalty.

The only other person charged in connection with the case has already pleaded guilty. Joey Meek, a friend with whom Roof spent time in the days before the shootings, last month admitted to lying to federal authorities. He has agreed to help with the prosecution against Roof.

At Roof's initial appearance before a judge, several relatives of the shooting victims said they forgave the alleged shooter and that they would pray for him. On Tuesday, Malcolm Graham, brother of shooting victim Cynthia Hurd, said federal prosecutors had talked to family members before announcing the decision and that he felt it was "an appropriate punishment."

"What he did that night was kill innocent individuals at a Bible study," Graham said. "Not only was it an attack on those who were there, it was an attack on a race of people."

Johnny Manziel's downward spiral appears to be getting worse.

The former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback physically looks like a shell of the man who was picked in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns.

Now out of the league after the Browns cut him this off season, Manziel, is clearly not working out in an attempt to get back into the league. Instead, he's hitting up party spots across the country and has lost a considerable amount of weight.

TMZ Sports reports that his drinking and drug use have increased to the point where friends believe he will die soon if he doesn't get help. They have tried to get him into rehab, but he refuses to go.

"He's in a horrible downward spiral," one source very close to the QB tells TMZ Sports.

Manziel's erratic behavior has caused many clubs in Las Vegas to ban him.

"He's too much of a risk," one high-powered nightclub told the website "He's a good guy, but he's a fucking mess."

At only 23-years old the man they call "Johnny Football" could still turn his life around, but things don't look good at the moment.

BALTIMORE (AP) — A Baltimore officer was acquitted Monday of assault and other charges in the arrest of Freddie Gray, dealing prosecutors a significant blow in their attempt to hold police accountable for the young black man's death from injuries he suffered in the back of a police van.

A judge also found Officer Edward Nero not guilty of reckless endangerment and misconduct in office. As the verdict was read, Nero dropped his head down and his attorney placed a hand on his back. The courtroom was quiet. Nero stood up and hugged his attorney, and was visibly emotional.

The assault charge carried a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and reckless endangerment carried a punishment of up to five years.

Gray died April 19, 2015, a week after his neck was broken in the back of a police transport van while he was handcuffed and shackled but left unrestrained by a seat belt.

Nero was one of six officers charged in the case. He waived his right to a jury trial, opting instead to argue his case before Circuit Judge Barry Williams. A jury trial was held for Officer William Porter late last year, and the panel could not reach a decision on manslaughter and other charges.

Gray's death set off more than a week of protests followed by looting, rioting and arson that prompted a citywide curfew. His name became a rallying cry in the growing national conversation about the treatment of black men by police officers.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said in a statement that Nero will still face an administrative review by the police department.

"We once again ask the citizens to be patient and to allow the entire process to come to a conclusion. In the case of any disturbance in the city, we are prepared to respond. We will protect our neighborhoods, our businesses and the people of our city," she said.

About a dozen protesters gathered outside the courthouse as the verdict was read.

Prosecutors said Nero unlawfully detained Gray and acted callously when he made a decision not to buckle Gray into a seat belt when he was loaded into the back of a transport vehicle.

Nero's attorney argued his client didn't arrest Gray and that it was the police van driver's responsibility to buckle in detainees. The defense also said the officers who responded that day acted responsibly, and called witnesses to bolster their argument that any reasonable officer in Nero's position would have made the same decisions.

The defense said the department's order requiring that all inmates be strapped in is more suggestion than rule because officers are expected to act with discretion based on the circumstances of each situation.

The other officers are set to each have separate trials over the summer and into the fall. Nero is white and Porter is black. Two of the other officers charged in the case are white and two are black.

On May 1, Soulja Boy tweeted that he had just locked down a $400 million deal. "$400 million deal confirmed. I still they think they low balled me though. I was thinking 2 or 3 billion," he wrote.  

Billboard and other reputable sites confirmed that the deal was with World Poker Fund Holdings based on a press release that was sent out. According to CNN Money, World Poker Fund Holdings has a market capitalization of around $52 million. WPFH’s own annual report lists losses of over $400,000 last year.

A company worth just over $52 million couldn't possibly afford to cut a $400 million endorsement deal.

Company spokesperson Matthew Bird explained to Forbes that the deal includes both stock and revenue-sharing.

“He really kind of jumped the gun” by using the $400 million figure, Bird says. “The deal is capped at $400 million, and it’s based on a forward-thinking valuation of the company. He’s young, he’s 25 years old. He got really excited, and he tweeted something he probably shouldn’t have tweeted. He was getting a lot of pressure from within the entertainment community, so he wanted to put a statement out. Obviously, the company’s market cap is at $51.8 million. There’s no way they could cut a $400 million deal. Endorsement deals are calculated on a lot of different factors. This is not a fully cash transaction.”
