Videos After The Jump
New details have emerged in the murder of RoseMo700.
As we have previously documented, RoseMo had a confrontation with The Game at an L.A. mall a couple of months ago where he allegedly knocked out the Compton rapper. Then, just several days ago he had another fight; this time with a local rapper by name of Boskoe1. That fight was caught on tape by 2Eleven of Young Jeezy's CTE crew. The video has since gone viral.
Both situations stemmed from beefs that started on Twitter involving RoseMo's friend, Ice Burgundy, an L.A. rapper affiliated with Brick Squad Monopoly.
On Wednesday November 2, RoseMo, who police have identified as 26-year old Jomo Adoula Zambia. was shot in broad daylight as he drove his red BMW in Inglewood, Ca.
L.A. Weekly reports that after being shot RoseMo's vehicle sped through a red light and hit an unmarked police car. He died shortly after being rushed to the hospital.
According to the L.A. Times, he was shot in the arm and torso. Police are trying to figure out exactly when and where he was shot.
The police officer whose cruiser was blindsided had to be removed from his mangled vehicle using the "jaws of life" by L.A. County firefighters. He is listed in critical condition.
Lead homicide Detective Gabriel de La Torre says police are looking at RoseMo's Twitter activity for clues.
When contacted by L.A. Weekly, Waka Flocka's publicist said he had no affiliation with RoseMo, but has worked with Ice Burgundy in the past.

As we previously reported, Kanye West surprised the audience at the Watch The Throne concert in Philadelphia last night by shouting out his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose.
"To the city of Philly, I want to thank y'all for making the incredible person that this song was made for," West said.
Amber has responded; saying that the rapper must be feeling remorse for how badly he treated her.
Read what she had to say courtesy of Complex below.
I’ll say this—I didn’t even know about it. This is my 50th interview today and every single person has asked me, and it made me go see what the hell they were talking about, because I don’t keep up on the current events of Kanye. I just don’t look him up
A lot of is just negativity and I don’t like to bring that energy into my life. But I did look at it and he said that, he said um, “When I said that I didn’t like your dress, I was an asshole. When I said that I didn’t like your hair, I was an asshole.”
And he was an asshole. He was. I feel like he gets that now, and he’s remorseful about being an asshole to me.
But he called me an incredible person, and I take that as an apology. And if it was an apology, I forgive him for being an asshole. I don’t hold any grudges. I don’t hate him. I want him to find a girl and for him to treat her better than he treated me.
The next girl, she doesn’t deserve that. I found pure happiness with Wiz. Why wouldn’t I want that for Kanye? I want everyone to have that, to feel the way I feel about Wiz.

Leave it to DJ Whoo Kid to spill the beans on an incident that at least one person would rather not have the world knowing.
During a recent interview with the U.K.'s Time Westwood, Whoo Kid revealed that Chris Brown knocked Drake out in a fight over Rihanna.
Whoo Kid didn't give specific dates, but here is what he had to say.
"He [Drake] has at least eight songs on the radio that's killing it," Whoo Kid said. "Not to mention features and his on singles. And him and Rihanna are supposedly fooling around. I think he got elbowed too by Chris Brown, but that never came out."
"Elbowed in the face?" Tim asks.
"In the chin, like the corner left part. Man down, simple as that," Whoo Kid added.

Maybe it was getting filmed that set this driver off.
Bay Area news station Kron4 has a news segment called "People Behaving Badly." During one of their recent episodes they filmed a guy getting a ticket. Nobody likes getting ticketed, but having a camera stuck in your face while it's happening would probably p*ss most people off.
That's what happens in the hilarious clip below. Watch as the driver goes in Kron4's Stanley Roberts.

Over Twitter?
Rumors are running rampant that the blood who knocked out The Game and beat up local L.A. rapper Boscoe1 has been killed.
While details are sketchy at the moment it appears that Brick Squad Monopoly affiliate RoseMo. was shot in Inglewood, California yesterday. After being hit his car smashed into an unmarked police car.
The driver of the vehicle was identified as Jomo Adoula Zambian, 26, of Los Angeles according to the L.A. Times. He was shot in the arm and torso.
The news has traveled fast on twitter where people have been offering their condolences.
All of this beef started on Twitter, where Brick Squad Monopoly member Ice Burgundy had gotten into separate arguments with The Game and Boscoe1.
In both instances his homie RoseMo became the enforcer and allegedly knocked Game out in an L.A. mall, before beating up Boscoe1. The footage of the Boscoe1 beating was caught on tape by 2Eleven of Young Jeezy's CTE crew and can be seen below.
It's possible RoseMo's murder had nothing to do with his Twitter beefs. We may never know.

The Throne brought their much hyped Watch The Throne tour to the city of Philadelphia last night (November 2) and Kanye West made sure they left with something to talk about.
During his performance of "Runaway" Yeezy talked about love lost and keeping those you hold dear close to you. He remarked that it's difficult for someone in his position to have that.
"I know love ain't always easy," he told the crowd. "Especially when people are in your business like they are with me all the time, Y'all gonna fight. Y'all gonna argue. It's gonna be people hating on y'all and sh*t."
He later thanked the city of love for making his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose.
"To the city of Philly, I want to thank y'all for making the incredible person that this song was made for," West said.
Billboard's The Juice points out that Amber's current boyfriend Wiz Khalifa, said almost the thing about her on October 29 at Power 99 Powerhouse.
“Philly, thank you for making her,” Wiz said at the time. “But she’s mine now."

Machine Gun Kelly would like to put the so-called beef between himself and Yelawolf to bed.
As we previously reported, Yelawolf wasn't thrilled about comments MGK made on the Breakfast Club when he said that Yela had taken shots at him during his verse on the BET cyphers.
Yela responded in an interview with Bootleg Kev by saying all MGK was being "sensitive" and all he has to do is mention his name in a verse and they could battle.
In MGK's most recent interview with Ben Parker, he says that a beef with Yelawolf makes no sense.
"I don't think hip hop needs that," he said. "I just think it would look corny with two white guys. Especially when we came from the same type of cause. I think I'm young and I say some things to flatter him out, but they get taken a different way."

Nicki Minaj says her former maid is just out for cash.
Last week it was reported that Minaj;s boyfriend got physical with the maid after she asked to leave and refused. Soon afterwards the maid's employer filed a battery.
The incident allegedly started when the maid found one of Nicki's pictures in the garbage and asked the rapper to sign it. Instead of an autograph the maid got her walking papers.
When the woman returned to Nicki's apartment after being fired, the alleged incident happened.
According to Ace Showbiz, one inside source says the maid told Nicki that she would not be "treated like an animal". The rapper allegedly responded by saying, "I'll show you how to treat someone like an animal ... get the f*ck out of my house!"
Nicki's boyfriend then forcibly started pushing the maid from the apartment with his body.
TMZ is reporting that Nicki is insisting that nothing happened during the altercation. She's telling friends that the maid is simply out for "hush money," hoping Nicki will pay her to get this whole thing to go away.

50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather were guests on 106 & Park yesterday (November 2).
Floyd talked about what he does to stay in shape after a fight, being able to relate to 50's new book, Playground, because he was a bully himself in school and being ready to fight Manny Pacquiao.
"We're looking for Pacquiao, we want Manny to take the test. We just wanna give the fans and the people around the world what they wanna see," Floyd said before clarifying that he's never accused the Filipino champ of taking performance enhancing drugs. "I never said Pacquiao was on anything. It's just that it's not natural for any athlete to come from 106 [pounds] all the way to 154 all natural and compete with the best fighters."
After a commercial break, 50 Cent was introduced. The first question Rocsi asked was about his new braids. Fif explained that he grew them for a movie role where he plays a “1980s-era pimp.”
"Yeah, It's for Frozen Ground. It's for the movie, y'all wanna get a close up?" he asked before taking off his blue New York Yankees cap.
That conversation segued into what inspired the G-Unit boss to write Playground.
He explained that it stemmed from a conversation he had with his son, who knew someone that was being bullied in school. It brought back memories of what it was like for him growing up as an overweight kid who turned to bullying as a defense mechanism.
50 also discusses his Street King energy drink and his plans to feed a billion kids in need.
