• Jay Z's Takeover Bid of Aspiro Hits Snag: Shareholders Say $56M Offer Undervalues Co.

    Jay Z made big news when it was announced that a takeover bid of 464 million Swedish krona -- $56 million -- was made for Swedish IT company Aspiro, the parent company of WiMP and TIDAL, through his Project Panther Bidco, a subsidiary of his S. Carter Enterprises.

  • Drake, Blake Shelton, Wiz Khalifa Read Mean Tweets on 'Jimmy Kimmel'

  • Dame Dash Discusses Jay Z Vs. Funkmaster Flex Beef

    The Jay Z-Funkmaster Flex beef has cooled off somewhat, but that does not mean it has gone away entirely. There were some pretty serious accusations thrown out there by Funkmaster Flex, including that Jay Z does not let anybody play Dipset at the 40/40 Club and HOV had used an interview for his website "lifeandtimes.com" as a rouse to try and get information on building an app. Jay has not commented on the situation yet and probably will not for some time, if ever, as his former manager and business partner Dame Dash discussed the situation in a recent interview, saying that Jay was too corporate to respond.

  • ESPN Counts Every Jay Z Athlete Shout Out; Michael Easily Dominates Competition...As Always (Kudos to Bo Outlaw)

    No genre incorporates pop culture as much as hip-hop and few genres of music embrace professional sports as much as hip-hop (shout out to '90s rockers representing Seattle and Los Angeles). Few rappers have catalogues as deep as Jay Z's, so ESPN decided to track down every reference made to an athlete across Jay's discography and graphed it out for viewers. No surprise that Michael Jordan is the most popular topic.

  • Jay Z Is Not Buying Hot 97: Funkmaster Flex Introduces Show On 'Hov 97'

    The rumor mill ran off the tracks the past few days with speculation that Jay Z joined a group of investors that included Carmelo Anthony (what else is he going to do now that the Knicks are so bad) to buy major New York City hip-hop radio station Hot 97 from its parent, Emmis Communications after he was attacked on air by popular and influential host and DJ Funkmaster Flex. This rumor, which came from homophobic gossip blog MediaTakeOut.com who vehemently defended their "rock solid source," has proven to be very false. We reached out for comment and a spokesperson for Emmis Communications, Kate Snedeker denied the story, stating plainly, "it is false."
