|
''The Spurs Are Just Scared...''
Lee "Freezy" Prince, manager for Miami rapper Flo Rida, was asked not to attend Game 6 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs last night (June 18th.) Prince was ejected from game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals earlier this month after a heated exchange with Indiana Pacers' player Jeff Pendergraph. Prince said that the NBA's lawyers contacted him directly. âWhat I did was no different than what Spike Lee does for the Knicks and what Jack Nicholson does for the Lakers," he told The Ticket Miami on 104.3, as reported by SB Nation. "The Spurs are just scared, they donât want that feeling to erupt around them. Whoever sits in those seats tonight they better represent." |
Lil Wayne Addresses Flag Controversy
|
''I Didn't Step On the Flag On Purpose!''
Lil Wayne says the flag-stomping footage of him that has been making the rounds online is misleading. A firestorm of controversy began building online after the footage surfaced, and the YMCMB rapper finally addressed the issue. Despite what appeared to be a brazen disrespect for the flag, Wayne says that the whole thing was an accident. He tweeted that he didn't intentionally try to to stomp on anything. "I didn't step on the flag on purpose! It's a scene in a video where the flag drops behind me and after it drop it's just there as I perform," Wayne tweeted. |
J. Cole Says Jay-Z Supported Album Release
|
''He Just Respected It''
With the hype surrounding J. Cole's new Born Sinner album being released on the same day as Kanye West's new Yeezus album, there was plenty of speculation that the two Jay-Z affiliated rappers were pitted against each other by Jay himself. But Roc Nation star J. Cole says that Jay didn't mastermind the competition. "He just respected it," J. Cole told DJ Drama. "He thought it was like courageous. He thought it was a brave move. That was it. He wasn't pitting me against him like, 'Yeah, let me get my two artists [to release albums on the same day].' Nah. He was just like, 'Yo. That's brave. You can't lose,' is what he was saying. Nobody even expects me to really win that day, in terms of sales, and that's not really what it was about to begin with. It was about putting my name in the hat in terms of the music. You might have to make a decision. You might love both. You might love his. You might hate my album, but you're not going to. But it's forcing you to make a decision on which album [you're going to prefer]. I'm just putting my name in the hat. That's it." |
