In a recent appearance on The Wendy Williams Show, Toni explained why she made the decision to stop recording.

Toni said she will tour sporadically, but has to careful with that because she has Lupas. You can catch Toni in an upcoming Lifetime movie, Twist of Faith. It airs February 9 at 8PM on Lifetime TV
Walter Slonopas had seen enough. After the company he worked for, Contech Casting LLC in Clarksville, Tenn issued him the number 666 for the third time on documents he quit, calling the number a satanic omen.
He was first issued an ID badge ending with the number when he was hired by the company in April 2011. He complained and received a new number. Several months later the company changed it's payroll system and Slonopas was again given ID that contained the number. He quit, but later returned to work after the company apologized. The final straw for Slonopas came when he received his most recent W-2 form which also included the number 666.
"I cannot accept this number. If you accept that number, you sell your soul to the devil," Slonopas told ABC News.
666 is considered the Number of the Beast by several religions. It is referred to in the Bible, in Chapter 13 of the New Testament Book of Revelation.
Slonopas says if he is not issued a new W-2 with a different number he won't file his taxes.
Contech Casting LLC wants Slonopas to come back to work for them. They have apologized again, blaming the W-2 error on a company outside the firm that generates the tax forms by computer.
"We are certainly sorry he was put through all this," said Robert LaCourciere, the vice president of sales and marketing for Contech Casting's parent company, Revstone Transportation Group . "We hope he does contact us because we'd love to have him back at work."
If you were Slonopas would you go back to work for this company?

In part 2 of their interview Wiz talks to Nick Huff Barili about his friendship with NBA superstar Kevin Durant, wanting to work with Dr. Dre, new song with Joe Budden, Molly, Tyga, who he currently listens to musically and doing a movie with 50 Cent.
"We had talked when we shot the Chief Keef video," Wiz said. "I just respect 50 from a business standpoint as well as music. And that's what we were talking about is how to expand and build on what we both have going on and how we could do it together. We made a song together. I was like 'let's do a movie.' And that's basically how me and Snoop did our situation. Through time I think we'll put it together and make it work. But it's something I'm definitely taking serious as a project for this year."
AP.9 is reportedly shopping a sex tape with Coco Austin for $100,000. The Mob Figaz rapper has not been shy about his sexual exploits with Ice-T's wife. In December photos of the two hugging, kissing on each other and AP grabbing the reality star's butt emerged.
Earlier this week AP said the two had unprotected sex.
"We had sex unprotected," he told Star Magazine. "I really hope she isn't pregnant!”
Now there is a new report that a sex tape is being shopped.
Publicist Kali Bowyer told RumorFix that reps for the rapper contacted her asking for “help to promote and sell pictures and video above the 100k offer."
There is audio also being shopped.
According to Bowyer, the musical artist “has various pics, audio and footage of him placing his hand into her private parts, acts of oral sex, doggy style positions with miscellaneous graphic exploits and sexual conduct.”

Bowyer told RumorFix she turned down the offer to help promote the sale of the tape.
"While I personally will not engage in something so crude and disgusting, I have no hesitation in blowing the lid off his intentions," Bowyer said.
