  • Ten Pounds of Weed Recovered from Apartment Shared by Murder-Suicide Victims Stephanie Moseley and Earl Hayes

    On Monday, Dec. 8, we told you about the sad murder-suicide of Stephanie Moseley and her husband Earl Hayes. The couple were reportedly working on a reconciliation when things turned violent in their upscale Hollywood apartment. Hayes was reportedly FaceTiming with Floyd Mayweather about Moseley's alleged infidelity when he totally lost it. The aspiring rapper supposedly walked into the bathroom where Moseley was bathing and began firing shots before turning the gun on himself. We are also now learning that when searching the apartment police uncovered 10 pounds of marijuana.According to a report by TMZ, it was an enormous stash with a street value of about $40,000 and it had to be removed from the property by an armed guard. Police confirm that this was most certainly not just for personal use but that it was for dealing and distribution. While Moseley had a successful career as a star of VH1's "Hit the Floor" and had toured with various stars such as Usher and Britney Spears, there were a few recent tweets by her regarding money concerns.

  • iLoveMakonnen Performed 'Tuesday' on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' [WATCH]

    Drake label OVO signee Makonnen Sheran, professionally known as iLoveMakonnen, made his television debut last night, Dec. 9, coincidently or not on a Tuesday, to perform his smash single "Tuesday." Accompanied by The Roots but not Drake, iLoveMakonnen crooned through the Grammy-nominated single with his unique, slightly raspy delivery for the audience on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." ILoveMakonnen gets into the Christmas spirit by wearing a Santa hat for his performance and bathing the stage in red light, via "Complex."The performance comes on the heels of the announcement that "Tuesday" was nominated for Best Rap Performance alongside Drake in their remix of "Tuesday." The Atlanta singer/rapper is now 25 and has been tabbed by many publications as an artist to watch out for following his EP "I Love Makonnen.""Tuesday" has inspired other remixes, including an unofficial one from "Mr. Steal Your Girl" Trey Songz and Chris Brown. It has become a club smash, notably on Tuesdays, and another song that has become a pop-culture phrase.While the track may actually speak to the struggle that many may face working graveyard shifts on the weekend just to make ends meet, "Tuesday" has also come to represent the everyday partygoers who hit the clubs every night.

  • Kendrick Lamar Guests On TDE Boss Punch's New Song "25" [LISTEN]

    When he's not busy running Top Dawg Entertainment, Terrence "Punch" Henderson drops some songs of his own, and they're quite excellent. His latest track "25" is a refreshingly laidback ode to resisting the temptations of gang life when growing up in the projects, complete with soul samples and jazz flutes (sounds like they got Ron Burgundy on this), but most excitingly, the track's vocal hook is provided by none other than his label's flagship artist Kendrick Lamar. Apparently Kendrick didn't want anyone to know it was him, though, since he's not credited in the song's Soundcloud page.
