Mariah Carey Talks About Niki Feud


Mariah Carey recalls shutting down Dame Dash, says she never dated Cam'ron.
Earlier this week, Long Island songstress Mariah Carey stopped by Power 105.1 to speak with The Breakfast Club about her stint on “American Idol,” alleged feud with Nicki Minaj, her relationship with Cam’ron, and more.

While addressing her judging gig on “American Idol,” Mariah commented on a highly-publicized feud with Nicki Minaj and revealed that it was a moment in her career she wishes she could “press delete” on.
“I don’t even remember what that was,” Mariah said. “That was a moment in my life that I want to press delete…If you really wanna know the truth of the matter. Really it was like I was hoping to be more of a mentor for the people there on the show, for the contestants. And I wanted to and I did give them input…when I could. Not like illegally. When it was alright I would just be like ‘Maybe if you want to incorporate’—like there were certain contestants that I was very upset when they would get—I think I can’t really say certain things, but whatever. Everybody else seems to say whatever they want to say. Well, just to make a long story short because it’s a long story. I wasn’t happy there because I felt like I couldn’t be real. And I thought it was gonna be a three person panel. And that would have been cool.”

Juicy J Recalls Tear Da Club Up


Juicy J also explains how "Tear Da Club Up" helped Three 6 Mafia get its first major label contract.
Juicy J’s material gets regular spins on the radio. Things were different for the Memphis rapper-producer in 1995, when he was an aspiring artist trying to break through with his group, Three 6 Mafia
The group started getting traction with its “Tear Da Club Up” single, a selection from its Mystic Stylez album. Juicy J says he remembers hearing the song on the radio for the first time.
“I would have been like 20, 21 years old,” Juicy J says during an interview with radio.com. "I heard it on the radio in Memphis, Tennessee. I went crazy. I got so excited. I was jumpin’ around. I called my mom. ‘Yo, I’m on the radio. I’m on the radio.’”
The success of “Tear Da Club Up” helped Three 6 Mafia land its first major label contract, one with Relativity Records. “The song got hot then it got in Atlanta,” Juicy J says. “Then it got hot in Dallas. Then it got hot in Houston, and then maybe like nine months later we signed a big record deal.”

Drake apologizes for Phillip Seymour Hoffman comments


Drake apologizes for Phillip Seymour Hoffman comments and says Rolling Stone made him "feel violated."
Yesterday (February 13), Drake criticized Rolling Stone for taking him off the magazine's cover. The publication responded by saying that it is customary to switch covers when a musician or actor dies and in this case, the publication elected to publish a cover featuring Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who passed away February 2.
"They...took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue," Drake said in a Twitter post today. "I'm disgusted with that. RIP to Phillip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil." 
Drake later deleted the Twitter updates above and issued a statement on his OVO Blog about why he is frustrated with Rolling Stone and why he feels he must apologize for his comments regarding Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
