Fresh off the heels of the huge MMG Press Conference yesterday, Diddy made another announcement that further extends his brand. Funkmaster Flex is now the newest Ciroc Boy. Flex is now joining the ranks of Diddy, Rick Ross, French Montana, Fabolous, and DJs like DJ Drama and DJ Envy as brand ambassadors for the Vodka. Diddy made an appearance on Flex’s show on Hot 97 to share the news. This all comes very shortly after Flex’s partnership with Grey Goose Vodka ended. Diddy and Flex both promise big things in the future from their new partnership. Watch the video of the official announcement above.
Just in time for the playoffs!
NBA star point guard, Rajon Rondo, currently a starter with the Boston Celtics is looking to take his love for R&B to new heights. After sitting down with Global Grind, the all star point guard discusses the game of basketball, his musical dreams, as well as the temptations that occur while being a superstar athlete. But Rondo’s love for music goes deeper than what we thought.
We also learned he not only listens to R&B to calm him down before each game, but he also has secret aspirations to be an R&B singer and create his very own album! Really wish she would have got him to sing!
Check out the video above and let us know if this is something Rondo should really be considering?
Kanye West strikes again, this time through the “I Don’t Like” Remix. You will rarely catch Mr. West doing interviews, but he does have a tendency to let us know how he feels about certain issues on the mic… in the booth that is.
Kanye was recently accused of physically abusing his ex-fiance Alexis Phifer (pictured together above) during their relationship. Instead of calling up the Today Show to straighten out those accusations, he simply let us know his position on the rumors through a few verses.
“The media crucify me like they did Christ. They wanna find me not breathing like they found Mike, A girl will run her mouth only out of spite. But I never hit a woman, never in my life.”
You can listen to the entire track above to see what Pusha T, Big Sean, Jadakiss and Chief Keef don’t like as well.
Similar to many cable networks, YouTube hosted its “Upfront” presentation on Wednesday in NYC at the Beacon Theater. Upfront is a unique way for networks to present to new programming and plans to advertisers in hopes that they will jump onboard and commit ”up front.” While all that business is going on, it’s never a bad idea to add a little pleasure. Well, as a gift to the masses gathered, YouTube blessed them with a little surprise. Jay-Z came out sporting new Brooklyn Nets gear and performed the anthem of NYC, “Empire State of Mind.” Pharrell and Russell Simmons also made appearances at Upfront, and Flo Rida and Miri Ben-Ari (hip-hop violinist) also performed.
Showing us the reminder as to why he’s dubbed the “pretty moth**fu**er”, ASAP Rocky delivers the visuals for the first single Goldie, off his debut album LongLiveA$AP, due later this year. Making sure to keep consistent with the lyrics, the mob general shows us the finer things in life, which he isn’t new to doing. Gold, ladies, blunts, and cars are what makes this visual yet another ASAP Classic. Check out the video above.
