Mary J. Blige's camp is denying allegations that she punched her husband Kendu Isaacs in the face at her NYC album release party.
RUMOR MILL: SCENARIO #1 - Anonymous “sources” say the fight occurred when Isaacs was seen flirting with several female waitresses, causing Blige to strike and taunt him.
RUMOR MILL: SCENARIO #2 - Anonymous “sources” say the fight occurred when Isaacs refused to help Blige's brother keep from being thrown out of the club.
From what I hear, Mary popped the husband and said "What are you gonna do? - Chris Brown Me?"
Blige’s publicist Kerynne Tencer released a statement denying the incident, and proclaimed the couple’s relationship is on steady ground.
Blige and Isaacs, who also serves as her manager, have been married since 2003.
On Tuesday (December 21), Blige released Stronger with Each Tear, her 9th studio LP after a 2-year hiatus. To date, Blige has maintained a streak of every album since 1992’s What’s the 411? going platinum or multi-platinum.
The album features guest spots from Drake, T.I., and Trey Songz. Production credits include Ryan Leslie, The Runners, Polow Da Don, The Dream, Stargate, and Tricky Stewart.
ALL I'M SAYIN IS: I hope Mary didn't pop her man in the face. Real divas don't have to fight, especially their man - We should be lovin' not fighting. Behave ladies and gents!
IT'S OFFICIAL - TI IS OUT OF JAIL!
The Atlanta rapper T.I., AKA TIP has been released from an Arkansas prison after serving seven months for weapons charges.
He is reported to be living at Dismas Charities halfway house that he shall stay in for three month as a finale to his sentencing.
He was arrested in August 2007 in a federal sting, just before he was to perform at the BET hip-hop awards.

Rapper Keith Murray recently returned to the United States after a trip to Mozambique in Africa, where the rapper was raising awareness about the plight of children with HIV/AIDS.
Keith Murray took up the cause of HIV/AIDS awareness after losing his mother to the deadly disease when he was just 20-years-old.
Three years later, he also lost his older sister to the disease. "My trip to Mozambique was a very emotional and inspirational experience," Keith Murray told AllHipHop.com. "This is my third trip to Africa but this journey was much different because of the cause. I wanted to help my kids to appreciate the simple things in life and to be generous to others. We can be so ungrateful here in the states."
The rapper hosted a number of concerts, in addition to making public appearances and engaging in charity work in the country's capital, Maputo.
According to statistics 16 percent of Mozambique's 20 million residents live with HIV/AIDS. Of that number, 510,000 are orphan children who suffer from the disease.
"I met young kids with AIDS that don’t know their parents or their own names that smile and appreciate when you give them a hug and a handshake," Murray continued. "I was the first person with some type of notoriety to visit them and they said I may be the only person that would ever come see them again. It was a humbling experience and it changed my life. I no longer take the simple things in life for granted."
Now that he is stateside again the rapper is hard at work recording his 8th entitled solo album, in addition to promoting a new album The Undergods with rapper Canibus.

ALL I'M SAYIN IS: Kudos to Keith Murray for fighting against this deadly disease. Many of us in America has known or is related to someone fighting this disease and we thank you for all your efforts. Now only if we can get more celebrities onboard, the world will be a better place.
So me and my girls had a challenge... We were tipped off to a party going on at the Embassy Suites and we were dared to CRASH IT! Did we succeed??? Of course, only REAL DIVAS could!
Young Money is really preparing themselves for Lil Wayne's visit to the pen cause they just made a song called - Where's Wayne?
They are so into this cliq ish that they might make a saga out of the jail time and milk the game preparing for Weezy's return.
Here's the track - Leave comments! Let me know what you think about it!
Weezy is a lil salty in this song... Probably because he has sentencing on Feb. 9 for gun charges. He is rappin here with Eminem - so of course its gonna be a lil cold! Hot track though! You be the judge.

So, T-Pains boys "The Nappy Boyz" coming from FL are calling T-Pain out on a new movie. Apparently, T-Pain blew up and left his folks behind... Happens all the time, so I'm totally NOT surprised. However, ALL I'M SAYIN IS: Is anyone in the game real anymore??? If you came up with folks and you wouldn't be in your current position without them, why not at least let them get some burn??? Studio time maybe, a shout-out here and there. Granted you can't take everyone with you, but a lil love for your folks is not going to hurt anyone. I guess...but I'm not a rapper and I don't have a rap entourage....
Each one teach one!!!

It's OFFICIAL!!! Chris Brown is sick of the music industry and it's BS tactics. He goes on Twitter today (Dec. 11) and rants about music stores not stocking up on his new album "Graffiti" and telling customers that they don't have the sounds in stock.
While that is foul...
ALL I'M SAYING IS: Chris! Stop trippin! You knew you were gonna get blocked due to you whoopin on Rihanna. You don't really think society is gonna let you get right back on top, especially if the album is good. Right?
Stay calm..Cristal Carrington will play your tracks on her show for sure! You are still a great artist, but ranting won't get you anywhere.

So, SNL is making a spoof about Tiger gettin his @$$ whooped by his wife after she found out he cheated. I wonder why no one was making a joke when Rihanna got her @$$ whooped.
What's up wit that?
ALL I'M SAYING IS - Abuse is NOT POPPIN! Stop beatin on each other and love one another. If Tigers wife put as much emphasis into making her man happy as she did to beat his rump they wouldn't be in this mess! TIGER! Get it together boo; You screwing any and everyone and you have a pre-nup that will grant your wife $300 million if she leaves you - YOU'S A DUMMY! #FAIL!

Check this out in July 2009 Unsigned artist Jarron dropped a mix tape called "Respect It Or Check it". The mixtape was hosted by DJ Onpoint who we know to do work with 50 Cent. On Jarron's mixtape he has a song titled I,I,I (track number 3), this track features the same beat and flow that 50 cent has on his new album released this year entitled "Hold Me Down" (track 6 on 50's album). So the question remains is 50 Jacking Unsigned Hype?!? You be the judge check out the link below.

Celebrated entrepreneur and mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was a hit in the US with his appearance Monday (November 30) and yesterday (December 1) on the Home Shopping Network.
Combs’ guest spot served to hawk several items from his Sean John fragrance line, along with a bonus bath robe for purchasers of his holiday set.
The Bad Boy CEO announced his new woman’s fragrance Empress, which will be the female equivalent to his cologne I Am King.
"I have a very sensitive nose. I don't like things to be overbearing and this is not that type of fragrance,” Combs assured his female viewers. “It's a very clean scent, a very sensual, seductive scent. It's the type of scent you want to get up close and personal with.”
Diddy’s presentation won over viewers, and the Home Shopping Network reported the mogul’s entire scent collection sold out in the 15 minutes following his appearance, setting a new sales record.
“I wish I could just jump through the screen and give you a hug, girl,” Combs said to a swooning female caller. “I want to thank you for buying!”
The Home Shopping Network has seen a surge in their business due to the economic climate forcing normally free spenders to shop carefully for deals and sales. Last year alone, the network posted $45.5 million in revenue.
"We are very excited to partner with Sean 'Diddy' Combs and bring to life on HSN the compelling story behind the success of his top-selling fragrances for both women and men," stated HSN CEO Mindy Grossman. "Offering our customers a wider array of luxurious fragrances has been a focus for HSN as we continue to expand our beauty business. Mr. Combs is a lifestyle icon who will provide our customers with unique experiences and the quality products we strive to deliver."
The fragrance holiday sets seen on HSN are available directly at www.seanjohn.com.
