Both Kendrick Lamar and Carson Daly were borg and raised in California, but just met for the first time at the SXSW Festival.

Kendrick talks about growing in in Compton, not being a gangster rapper, being inspired after seeing 2Pac and Dr. Dre shooting a music video, having Dre as a mentor and more.

Iggy Azalea just released the debut single from her upcoming album The New Classic. Of course the track wouldn't have been complete without her Grand Hustle mentor T.I.

I guess it wasn't just a one night fling.

When reports leaked out last week that Rihanna was seen leaving Ashton Kutcher's L.A. crib at 4 in the morning it was thought by many to be just a late night hook up. But now reports are coming in that it is much more than that.

"The flirting began as soon as Rihanna and Ashton met and swapped numbers. That moved on to texts and arranging to meet. They snuck off to a Santa Monica hotel a few weeks ago," a source told The Sun "They are two single people having a fling, so thought it would be best to meet in secret."

The relationship is serious enough that Rihanna is reportedly considering converting from Christianity to Kutcher's practiced school of thought; Kabbalah.

"She's starting to enquire about Kabbalah sessions with his rabbi," the source added. "She is curious about Kabbalah so has started asking questions. She's open to new things and has always been a very spiritual girl. If she and Ashton are getting really close, she wants to be able to understand it."

Legendary soul singer Bobby Womack has been diagnosed with colon cancer according to Bootsy Collins.

"I just spoke to our friend Bobby Womack. He wanted you all to know that he loves you and thanks for the prayers. Doctor says he is in the first stage of colon cancer, he is very upbeat about his future, we laughed & joked before we hung up. Thanks funkateers, we will get him back on the one!" Collins wrote on Twitter Sunday [March 25].

Womack has a vast catalog of soul hits. G-Unit fans will know him from 50 Cent's record "Wait Until Tonight" from The Big 10, which samples Bobby's hit "If You think You're Lonely Now."

NME is reporting that the 68-year old singer was initially hospitalized with pneumonia and was then later diagnosed with colon cancer.

We wish Bobby the best and hope he recovers well.

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.
