Kanye West gets 9 BET Hip-Hop Awards nominations

ATLANTA – Kanye West might still be under fire for his controversial act on MTV, but the ranting rapper could be looking at plenty of praise from BET next month.

West has received nine nominations for the fourth annual BET Hip-Hop Awards, which will be televised Oct. 27. The rapper caused a stir Sunday after he interrupted 19-year-old country singer Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The 32-year-old West's latest album, "808 & Heartbreak," has sold over a million copies.

Jay-Z and Lil Wayne drew the second-most nominations with seven apiece, while T.I. received six nods.

The network will also recognize veteran rapper Ice Cube with the "I Am Hip-Hop" icon award. The show will be hosted by comedian Mike Epps.

Snoop's New Girl?

Rap legend Snoop Dogg has never been known to be Mr. Romantic. Do remember this is the same guy that showed up to the VMA’s one year with two women in dog collars and leashes… However Snoop is also a family man and loving father as we have seen on his fraudelnt VH1 sham, I meant show, Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood. However there has always been rumors of him running around on his longtime wife, and recently another one is popping up after the Dogg was seen woofing it up with some Parisian dimepiece.

Snoop was recently in Paris doing some shows when several pics of him and the unknown lady above were snapped. Eyewitnesses there say the two spent all night together and danced very closely on the dance floor. There are even some pics of Snoop and her damn near making out on the dance floor!

I gotta say a little bit of discretion never hurt anybody Snoop. This chick is bad though. I wonder if this is just a jumpoff or something more serious? Snoop did try divorcing his wife once already…

Hip Hop News: Omarion Dropped From Young Money

Omarion Dropped From Young Money

With all the latest rumors surrounding Bow Wow joining the Young Money roster, there have been even more rumors circulating that R&B singer and former B2K member Omarion has been dropped from the label. Mack Maine, the company’s president has indeed confirmed the rumors to be true.

For those who don’t know much about Young Money or Mack Maine, Lil Wayne HQ states:

“Young Money Entertainment aka Young Moola is an American hip-hop record label which was founded in 2003 by Lil Wayne. The distributing label is Universal Music Group and the label is an imprint of Cash Money Records. The president of Young Money is Mack Maine who took over from Cortez Bryant in 2009.”

Back in early June, it was reported that Omarion had just signed with Young Money. According to Billboard:

“Drake hasn't finalized his highly-anticipated major label deal yet, but friend and collaborator Omarion, who appeared on Drake's popular So Far Gone mixtape, has found a label home. Omarion has signed to Lil Wayne's Young Money imprint, becoming Drake's labelmate. Speculation about the signing started when fellow singer, Tyrese, posted a Twitter message several days ago congratulating him on his new deal. Omarion took to his own Twitter page just yesterday (June 1) and confirmed that he is indeed signed to Young Money.”

While keeping his comment brief and the details limited, Mack Maine told SOHH.com that the label had to cut business ties with O.

"Omarion is no longer with Young Money," he said via a written statement. "May God be with him and his future endeavors."

Omarion has yet to comment on this situation. I wonder what the reason was and if it had anything to do with Bow Wow joining the team? Stay tuned for further information on this subject!
