The New York Post has a story about Quamine Taylor, who was arrested by police after he trespassed at Diddy's home in East Hampton.
According to Taylor, it isn't the first time he's done it. He claims that it began in 2001. Even if that is true, it came to an end on April 1, after he spent the night and a caretaker called the police. Early that morning, he tripped an alarm, but was able to persuade a representative from the alarm company that he was associated with Diddy.
Forbes has released The Forbes Five, a list of the wealthiest artists in hip-hop. This is not to be confused with their annual Hip-Hop Cash Kings list. This list ranks the top 5 hip-hop artists by net worth.
Diddy comes out on top with an estimated net worth of $550 million. Even more interesting is that Zach O'Malley Greenburg mentions that Diddy will own REVOLT, his new television network, outright. He suggests that the value of the network, based on projected viewership totals, could be valued in the low-to-mid nine figures within a few years.
The rest of the list:
2. Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, $460 million
3. Andre "Dr. Dre" Young, $260 million
4. Bryan "Birdman" Williams, $125 million
5. Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, $110 million
Diddy has released a trailer for "Paris Is Burning," a new short film directed by Julian Bachelet. The film will provide a behind the scenes look at Diddy's time in Paris earlier this year during the spring/summer edition of Fashion Week. The trip included a visit with former Bad Boy rapper Shyne. Watch the trailer below.
Rap-Up.com reports that Cassie will perform "King of Hearts" on BET's "106 & Park" on April 23. It will be her first performance on the show since her poorly received performance of "Me & U" in 2006.
Bad Boy announced today that the official Machine Gun Kelly online merchandise shop has launched. Currently four t-shirts are available, in addition to a fan pack that includes a t-shirt, his "Half Naked & Almost Famous" EP, a 10% discount code for an upcoming album bundle and a bonus item with the album bundle.
Following his performance of the song on WrestleMania 28, Machine Gun Kelly's "Invincible" saw a sales increase of 114%, according to Nielsen SoundScan, which measures digital music sales in the U.S.
For the week, the song sold 23,151 units, improving from the 10,807 it sold the week prior. It has now sold a total of 167,450 copies, initially propelled by its appearance in a commercial for Beats by Dr. Dre.
At WrestleMania 28, MGK performed a special rendition with Skylar Gray, introduced by Diddy, which served as the entry music for wrestler John Cena.
You can download "Smoke & Drank" by French Montana featuring Mac Miller, care of Montana's Twitter profile. It will be featured on the "Coke Boys 3" mixtape, which has been pushed back.
