The study shows that women and Blacks are the most commonly infected with women at 20.5% and Blacks at 39.2%, nearly three times the rate of whites at 12.3%. Black women top everyone else’s rates altogether at 48%.

We don’t why we had a feeling that this was going to happen, but Jay-Z has been recently talking about a crew that he is working on called the Mob Squad consisting of Young Jeezy, Trey Songz, and Hova himself! Here’s what he had to say during a recent interview.

“Yeah, the Mob Squad, I’m trying to put that together,” Jay told a radio personality ”Trey made a song, I’m just trying to refine the hook so we can get our first song out there. I don’t know if Jeezy heard it yet so I’m probably gonna surprise him with this but we got it Mob Squad.

Here’s what Trey Songz said about it:

“The way Jay explained it to me, he wanted to give people the best show possible,” Songz said in an interview. “They could have easily done it by themselves and it’d be great. But [Jay] wanted to give the best show. All of us bring a separate aspect to the table, making it a great show all the way. I’m there for the ladies, of course. Then I bring an R&B soul vibe and my hip-hop. Jeezy got the streets. And Hov is Hov. It’s definitely all in the talks [as far as collaborations.] It’s the Mob Squad. Me, Jay, Jeezy, we plan on working together while we on this tour because the energy we have together when we get around each other is amazing. And like I said, all aspects like that on a record is amazing. Maybe while we out on the road we get it done.

Our sources say the kids were using the gun on the second floor of the house. Security guards on the property were perplexed because they couldn’t figure out where the noise was coming from … nor could they identify the sound.

Late last week, we’re told one of the security guards went upstairs and “stopped Jermaine’s kids from stunning Blanket.” The guard confiscated the gun.

The L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services went to the Jackson family home in Encino last night, at around 10:30. The two social workers interviewed Katherine and several of the kids and confiscated Jaafar’s stun gun.

But our sources say the kids have a second stun gun that DCFS did not recover and it is somewhere on the property.

DCFS is going back to the house today for further investigation. Our sources say DCFS considers this “a very serious situation.”

Lil’ Kim has always had a very dedicated following, but apparently after all these years even the most loyal fan might want to throw in the towel.

The people behind Lil Kim Fan Zone – the most popular Lil’ Kim fan site around – told the YBF that they’re officially done with the Queen Bee.

Apparently the drama started after the fan site reached out to Kim’s assistant after growing concerned about her bleached appearance and alleged odd behavior. The fans think Kim’s being brainwashed by a bunch of yes people.

Here’s what they told the YBF:

“We all know recently Lil Kim (or Ho Chi Min as you call her lol) has been wearing terrible make up and making bad career choices. So just recently (2-27-10) the fans spoke out on twitter to her assistant and new right-hand man football player Bryant Mckinnie. And they LASHED out at the entire Lil Kim Zone Forum. LilKimZone.Net is the bases of Kim’s hard core fans. We’re not some new fans. We have been holding her down for at least 15 years, and this is the thanks we get? We only expressed how we feel that Kim is the being misled to think she looks ok and it needs to stop. Not only did they get defensive but they got racial, and homophobic.

I send you this email because this needs to be exposed, Kim needs help, this could be the beginning to her intervention. We as the fans honestly believe she is being brain washed, and that she is surrounded by YES men. We dont want her to end up like Michael Jackson or Anna Nicole Smith, because we are lead to believe drugs are involved.”

Kim’s current assistant tweeted: “hurting herself with her own actions its people like you that f*ck up her pictures n post them on there site! If u r for her”

Those grammatical failures aside, the fans aren’t responsible for Kim’s face, she is. A former assistant countered these claims by reiterating the fan site operators’ sentiments.

As previously reported in November, Birdman felt the need to showcase to the world that he was a true 5 Star Stunna by getting a star tattooed on top of his head.

Now however he’s taken things even further with three new tattoos added to the top of his dome.

He was pictured at his “son” Lil Wayne’s final going away party before his year in prison showcasing these lovely additions.

Fresh off his climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise attention to drinking water shortages, Lupe Fiasco recently got real deep and stuff, saying not only has the journey showed him he’s on the right path musically, he’s also convinced it’s his calling to help his fans find “self esteem” instead of Bentleys and chains.

Lupe says his journey up Mt. Kilimanjaro proved to be an illuminating one career-wise:

”You get to a certain point in your career and you wonder if you’re being arrogant or you are on the right path. This showed me I am on the right path with what I talk about. And now I have more to talk about.”

As he prepares to release his third album Lasers Lupe discussed the challenge of having to satisfy himself as well as his label:

”It’s less about me being a celebrity, because I guess I’m not really a celebrity,” he says. ”The most difficult part of the music business is the label. What I want to do and what they want me to do – creatively – is in conflict. It doesn’t keep me up at night. I look at it as a challenge. It’s not meant to be easy.”

”There’s a misunderstanding with my fanbase,” he says. ”People [at Warner] feel they know my fans more than I do. They want me to step out of my comfort zone and step into theirs. I don’t have necessarily the celebrity success they want me to have but it’s more social success and being able to speak at a college about world affairs. That’s a success, to me.

”I don’t want to be Jay-Z and be worth $400 million and perform on every awards show. It’s getting in touch with somebody who needs to improve their self-esteem. As opposed to driving a Bentley and putting some chains on.”

Despite the challenge he described in working with the label, Lupe says all parties are satisfied with his upcoming album Lasers, although it is currently lacking a release date.

”It’s an album we both feel comfortable putting out,” he says. ”I’m somebody saying the things that maybe 98 per cent of the music industry is not.”

In addition to his music career and film projects, Lupe is also working on a documentary he produced for the History Channel and his clothing line.

Wow, like Lupe is like, really deep, and stuff. From where we’re sitting, every rapper stays at odds with what their label wants them to do and we’re pretty sure Lupe isn’t the only rapper who is satisfied not being Jay-Z and not driving a Bentley or flossing with big chains — so to say he’s saying things 98% of the music industry is not seems a lil off.

Do you agree or do you think Lupe is just so deep and smart and cool and rebellious not to bow to Illuminati Hov and the capitalistic music industry structure???

While Christopher Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls, aka Notorious B.I.G., left this earth over a decade ago, the problems he rapped about that came along with money continue to haunt his estate.

According to Hip Hop Wired, as of Tuesday February 24, 2010, the law offices of Lowe Law, P.C., in Los Angeles, have moved forward with a lawsuit against Faith Evans, RocDarling, and the Estate of Christopher “Notorious B.I.G” Wallace, with claims of “Breach of Contract” by their clients Kaushi Entertainment LLC and Dro-Entertainment Inc.

The lawsuit seeks over a million dollars and punitive damages.

In the complaint filed yesterday by Lowe Law, Kaushi and Dro-Entertainment claim that en-route to producing a documentary on the late great Notorious B.I.G, defendant RocDarling failed to comply with a written agreement made with the companies, in which RocDarling was to provide footage of the late MC for their respective projects.

In a statement, the Sixers confirmed that Iverson has been given a leave from the team indefinitely to deal with a personal issue related to the health of his young daughter.

“At this time, we feel that it is in the best interest of the Sixers, Allen and his family that he be allowed to deal with a very serious issue that is far greater than the game of basketball,” team president and general manager Ed Stefanski states.

According to Yahoo! Sports, Sixers’ coach Eddie Jordan addressed the team on Sunday (February 21), telling players that there was a chance Iverson would not return to the team.

Iverson missed five games and the 2010 All-Star Game in which he was voted to start in earlier this month to deal with his daughter’s health problems.

At press time, the timeframe of A.I.’s absence as well as the problem ailing his 4-year-old daughter Messiah has not been disclosed.

We are hoping for the best for A.I. and his family during this trying time and will continue to keep you updated as the story develops.

On saying “I Love You” to Jay-z at the Grammys
I wanted to run off the stage. Like “what did I just say”. He was shocked like “what are we doing? What are you doing?” but it was just a genuine moment and I looked in the audience and I saw my nephew and I saw my cousin Angie and I saw him..and it’s the first thing that came to my mouth. I didn’t think about it, it just came out. After I walked off the stage I just bawled because that’s when I realized what just happened to me and everything I have been working for my whole night, it paid off that night.

On Pink
I missed Gaga’s [performance] because I was trying to hurry up and get ready for the performance because I was next. When I came back in I saw the end of Pink’s. Which looked UNBELIEVABLE. She is INCREDIBLE. She’s so strong. She’s a gymnast and she’s so eloquent and singing all at the same time. I know how difficult that is and I have so much respect for her.

On Lady Gaga
I am such a huge fan of hers. We just filmed her video two weeks ago in Los Angeles. I don’t want to give too much away because I don’t want her to be upset but it’s a part 2 of Paparazzi. She’s just so smart and she’s becoming an icon in her own right.

On Taking Time off
I’m ready to take some time off. I actually leave today and go to Brazil (which I’ve never been there). I’m going there to work which I am finishing my last leg of my tour. I’m filming a video with Alicia Keys there. I’m so excited to work with Women. I’m a girl’s girl so to show that women that are successful can support each other and have a good time, I’m just so happy to bring that message across with Gaga and Alicia Keys.

According to sources, a large pornography company has a copy of a Mystikal’s sex tape and is planning to release it tomorrow.

Although information is just gathering on this event, rumors have said that this tape is a brand new tape and not the one that ultimately put Mystikal behind bars back in January, 2004.

For those who are unaware, Mystikal was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to forcing his hairstylist to perform sexual acts on himself and his bodyguard.

The video tape is said to show her giving the men oral sexual favors as well as any sexual favors that she was told to do.

Denying the tape from the start, Mystikal was later charged, tried and sentenced to jail after the video tape was later found in his house.

No other information of the sex tape is available at the time, but we will keep you updated on the latest on Mystikal’s return.

The New Orleans MC will also headline a Mardi Gras concert tonight in his home state Louisiana.
