The ever-entertaining Charlamagne tha God weighed in on Nicki Minaj being with Meek Mill and the rumor that Safaree ghostwrote some of her lyrics during a recent sit-down with VladTV.
When the topic of Meek and Nicki allegedly getting engaged came up, Charlamagne says it would make complete sense, as young rappers these days are seeing the success that comes to married power couples like Jay Z/Beyonce and Swizz Beatz/Alicia Keys, and he's experienced it himself as well.
"I've read a lot of studies that say married men are more successful, and I can honestly say, that since I've done those vows, my trajectory has done this," remarks Charlamagne while moving his hand in an uphill motion.
Moving on, Charlamagne gives his take on the rumors that Nicki Minaj has employed ghostwriters on some of her work -- specifically her ex boo Safaree. "Yo man, I think Nicki's a boss, and I think she takes pride in her work - as she should - she takes pride in her art, and I mean, if you were actually writing your own rhymes, you wouldn't want nobody taking credit for that either," the radio host observes.
Check out the clip to hear more from Charlamagne, including his theory on why the greatest female emcees of all time aren't necessarily the most popular.

Ghostface Killah addressed comments that Action Bronson sounds a lot like him, and the Wu-Tang emcee admitted that there have been times when even he's confused Bronsolino's voice with his own. He shared that he even spoke to Bronson about the situation, and the "Mr. Wonderful" emcee was insistent that he wasn't trying to sound like anyone but himself.
Speaking more on the situation, Ghostface says that "nobody can be me," and he's not looking at the comparisons as a competition.

For Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, entering the high-end audio market hasn't been easy but the competitive rapper recently secured a strategic partnership that may give his headphone venture the solid footing needed to take on rivals.
The rapper purchased fashion headphone company Kono Audio to launch his own consumer electronics company in late 2011, one that would be named SMS Audio. SMS, which stands for studio-mastered sound, was off to a rough start after 50 had to settle a hefty $16 million lawsuit in late 2014 for a deal gone sour with Sleek Audio, and continued to face stiff competition from a market glutted with celebrity-endorsed headphones. Thanks to the success of Beats by Dre, the personas of everyone from Bob Marley to Lady Gaga have been used to forge this new market of headphones that often cost $300 or more.
While SMS counts celebrities like music producer Timbaland and NBA star Carmelo Anthony as celebrity investors, the headphone manufacturer would need much more than star power to compete, especially after Apple purchased Beats by Dre last year for $3 billion. Beats commands a 27% market share of the headphones market, according to CNN. Also, the report cites market research from the NPD Group that shows it controls more than half of the market for “luxury” headphones.
To counter, SMS partnered with Intel in December 2014 to develop sports-and fitness-related headphones. More recently, 50 Cent is taking a different tack to distinguish his company. Just this March it inked a multi-year partnership with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and Lucasfilm’s Star Wars. In this quick video, 50 Cent chats about the surprising deal and how his startup teamed with a major corporation.

BALTIMORE (Associated Press) — A grand jury's decision to indict all six officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray, who died of injuries suffered in police custody, allows the state's attorney to press ahead with the most serious charges despite criticism she was part of an "overzealous prosecution."
The indictments announced Thursday were similar to the charges Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced three weeks ago. The most serious charge for each officer, ranging from second-degree "depraved heart" murder to assault, stood, though some of the lesser alleged offenses had changed.
Attorneys for the officers have said in court documents they are the victims of an "overzealous prosecution" riddled with personal and political conflicts of interest. At a minimum, they said, Mosby should be replaced with an independent prosecutor because she had a personal interest in calming unrest in the city that followed Gray's death and because her husband is a city councilman who represents the areas most affected by upheaval.
Gray suffered a critical spinal injury April 12 after police handcuffed, shackled and placed him head-first into a van, Mosby has said. His pleas for medical attention were repeatedly ignored.
His death a week later spawned protests that on two occasions gave way to violence and looting. In the wake of the riots, Democratic Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake implemented a curfew and Republican Gov. Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency.
Freddie Gray
Mosby said prosecutors presented evidence to the grand jury for the past two weeks. Some of the charges were changed based on new information, but she didn't say what that was. She also did not take questions.
"As is often the case, during an ongoing investigation, charges can and should be revised based upon the evidence," Mosby said.
Two officers, Edward Nero and Garrett Miller, were indicted on second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office for "failure to perform a duty regarding the safety of a prisoner" and for an illegal arrest, Mosby said. The indictments do not include the false-imprisonment charge both officers initially faced.
Officer Caesar Goodson Jr.
Officer William Porter
Lt. Brian Rice
Sgt. Alicia White
Officer Edward Nero
Officer Garret Miller
"I'm very glad that the grand jury chose not to indict officer Nero on false imprisonment and one count of second-degree assault. I'm quite confident he will be acquitted of the remaining charges at trial," Nero's defense attorney, Marc Zayon, said.
Caesar Goodson, who drove the van, faces manslaughter and a second-degree "depraved heart" murder charge, as well as misconduct in office and second-degree assault. Sgt. Alicia White, Lt. Brian Rice and Officer William Porter are each charged with manslaughter, second-degree assault and misconduct in office. Those officers also face reckless-endangerment charges.
Ivan Bates, an attorney for White, said he is "looking forward to seeing Ms. Mosby in court and proving that Sgt. Alicia White is innocent."
Nero, Miller and Rice are white; Goodson, Porter and White are black.
Gray's death became a symbol of what protesters say is a pattern of police brutality against African-Americans in Baltimore. Following Gray's death, the Justice Department announced a civil rights investigation of the Baltimore Police Department to search for discriminatory policing practices and examine allegations that officers too often use excessive force and make unconstitutional searches and arrests.
Gray was arrested in the Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood of West Baltimore. According to court documents, he made eye contact with a police officer and took off running. He was apprehended two blocks away and arrested for possession of a knife that Miller wrote in charging documents is illegal under a city ordinance. Mosby said the arrest was unlawful because the knife is legal under state law.
None of the officers secured Gray's seatbelt in the van, a violation of police policy. Soon after he was placed in the van, Goodson made a second stop during which Gray was secured in leg irons because he was "irate," police said.
After a ride that included two more stops, including one to pick up a second passenger, the van arrived at the Western District police station. By that time, Gray was non-responsive.
The Rev. Cortly "C.D." Witherspoon, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's Baltimore chapter, said he was surprised by the indictments.
"The track record of this city and state's attorney's office and even the grand jury in Baltimore is not to indict in these type cases," he said.
In the neighborhood where Gray was arrested, the news was received Thursday evening more with a shrug than a cheer.
"We ain't worried about the indictment. We want a conviction," said Michael Banks, 44.
Lisa Logan, an HIV-awareness advocate, said she's glad the case is proceeding. But she doesn't understand why the van driver faces more serious charges than the officers who put Gray in the van.
"Something occurred, some law was broken, so justice is being done," Logan said. "But how and who and how it all broke down, we'll have to wait and see."
Equal-justice advocate Noche Diaz, who said he moved to Baltimore from New York to join the protests, called the indictment "only a first step."
"The only thing that got the charges in the first place was when people rose up and then more people around the country stood up," he said. "There's going to be a need to continue and renew that fight."

About Demrick:
Los Angeles bases emcee Demrick, formerly known as Young De, rose through the ranks of the hip-hop scene when his mixtapes "Audio Hustlaz Vol. 1" and "Homeland Security" ignited the internet. Since then, Demrick has continuously raised the bar as a lyricist collaborating with high profile artists such as Xzibit, Kurupt, Snoop Dogg, B-Real, Royce Da 5’9, Crooked I, Freeway, Too $hort, and Cypress Hill. In 2013, Demrick was invited by B-Real and Xzibit to join them in the formation of a new super-group dubbed the Serial Killers, and they released their now classic "Serial Killers Vol. 1" album on Halloween. Demrick's solo debut "Losing Focus" was released through Battle Axe Records and features collaborations with Dizzy Wright, Logic, B-Real from Cypress Hill, and Xzibit.
About DJ Hoppa:
Whether sampling other artists or composing his own beats, DJ Hoppa has an innate sense of groove that never comes across as manufactured or mechanical. He borrows sparingly and delivers tastefully – never running classic tracks into the ground, but presenting them as gentle reminders of the better days, back in the day. Finding like minded individuals in his hometown, DJ Hoppa developed a growing and prosperous Hip Hop scene in the San Fernando Valley through his label Broken Complex, a thriving imprint specializing in Indie Hip Hop, DJs, and Roots Reggae releases and events. It was through these efforts that Hoppa was noticed by Funk Volume, and joined their artist roster and is the current touring DJ for Hopsin, SwizZz, and Dizzy Wright. His debut solo album DJ Hoppa’s "Hoppa and Friends" was released on Funk Volume in early 2015 and features tracks with Hopsin, Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton, SwizZz, R.A The Rugged Man, Wax, Chris Webby, and more.
