PERFORMANCE; BEYONCÉ HEADLINES MADE IN AMERICA 2015

It was all about Beyoncé at Saturday’s Made in America 2015 in Philadelphia. Following sets from Vic Mensa, Meek Mill, and Nick Jonas, Queen Bey capped off the first day of the festival at Benjamin Franklin Parkway. A day after celebrating her 34th birthday, she was serenaded by the BeyHive, who sang “Happy Birthday.

Soon after, Bey took the stage to give her fans a show they wouldn’t soon forget, opening with a remix of “Crazy in Love,” dressed in a sequined leotard and thigh-high red boots. She reworked some of her songs including “Bootylicious,” “Bow Down,” and “Flawless,” and even included popular hits like “F**k Some Commas” and “Trap Queen” into her interludes.

As Nicki Minaj and Kelly Rowland looked on, she changed multiple times (other outfits included a sequined Sixers jersey and Houston Rockets leotard) and performed a sexy revolving chair routine for “Drunk in Love.” Even Jay Z couldn’t resist the urge to sing along to “1+1,” and the adorable moment was captured on camera.

Mke wa Slaa: Aibuka na Kujibu Mapigo, Akisema Hatuna Shida ninafikiria kujenga Shule na Hospitali

HATIMAYE mke mdogo wa Dk. Willibrod Slaa, Josephine Mushumbusi, ameibuka na kujibu baadhi ya hoja ambazo zimekuwa zikielekezwa kwake yeye binafsi na kwa mume wake na zaidi akisema yote yanayosemwa dhidi yao hayako katika fikra zao kwani kwa sasa baada ya kuachana na siasa wanajipanga kuelekea upande mwingine wa kuwa wawekezaji.

Akizungumza na MTANZANIA Jumamosi kwa njia ya simu jana, Mushumbusi aliitaja mipango yao hiyo kuwa ni pamoja na kujenga shule na hospitali.

Mushumbusi ametoa kauli hiyo wakati ambapo gharama zinazokadiriwa kufikia shilingi milioni 50 alizozitumia mume wake katika mkutano wake na waandishi wa habari mapema wiki hii zikizua mjadala mpana wa alikopata fedha hizo zote.

Pamoja na hilo, Mushumbusi ambaye anatajwa kuwa katikati ya mpango wa kumrubuni mume wake licha ya kupuuza hoja kama hizo alipoulizwa walikopata fedha za kutekeleza miradi mikubwa kama hiyo alisema zimetoka kwa watu aliodai kuwa ni marafiki zao na kiasi kingine ni asilimia 20 ya vipato vyao ambavyo walikuwa wakiviweka kwa muda mrefu.

AJIBU MAPIGO

Mushumbusi ambaye tangu Dk. Slaa azungumze na waandishi wa habari Jumanne wiki hii hajawahi kuzungumza lolote, alianza kujibu yale yaliyozungumzwa na mke mwenzake ambaye ni mke wa ndoa wa Dk Slaa aitwae Rose Kamili ambaye juzi alizungumza na vyombo vya habari na kumtupia tuhuma nzito yeye (Mushumbusi) na mume wake huyo wa zamani.

Rose alikaririwa na vyombo vya habari akimtuhumu mumewe kuwa ni muongo na anapelekeshwa na mwanamke anayeishi naye kwa sasa ambaye ni Mushumbusi.

Akijibu shutuma hizo, Mushumbusi alisema yeye ni zaidi ya siasa rahisi zinazoenezwa dhidi yake.

Alimpuuza Rose kwa kusema kuwa ameamua kuchanganya matatizo binafsi ya familia na propaganda za kisiasa, hivyo jambo hilo liko mbali na uwezo wa fikra na mipango yake kwa sasa.

Mushumbusi alisema yeye si mwanasiasa kwani ana mambo mengi anayoyafanya mbali na siasa hivyo shutuma alizotoa Rose kwa Dk. Slaa zingefaa pia kama angewaeleza Watanzania sababu za kuachwa kwake.

“I’m above with that cheap politics, you know? (Unajua niko juu ya siasa hizo rahisi?), I’m activist, I can’t deal with them and I have a lot of things to do out of politics by the way, I’m not a politician as I told you (mimi ni mwanaharakati, siwezi kushughulika nao na nina mambo mengi ya kufanya nje ya siasa, hata hivyo mimi sio mwanasiasa kama nilivyokueleza),” alisema Mushumbusi.

Mushumbusi alifafanua kuwa hivi sasa yuko mbali na mambo ya siasa na anaangalia mbele kulisaidia taifa katika nyanja za elimu, afya na uchumi.

Alisema mipango yao kwa sasa ni kujenga shule, hospitali pamoja na kuwasaidia kina mama katika masuala ya ujasiriamali.

Alisema tayari mipango yao hiyo mipya ilikwishapangwa kwa kushirikiana na Dk. Slaa.

Alisema mbali na fedha za marafiki yeye ni mfanyabiashara wa nafaka na kwa muda mrefu pamoja na mumewe wamekuwa wakiweka akiba.

Hata hivyo, wakati Mushumbusi akisema kuwa anafanya biashara ya nafaka, gazeti moja la kila siku (Si MTANZANIA) liliwahi kumkariri hivi karibuni akidai kuwa kwa sasa anafanya biashara ya mkaa.

“Brother I’m not there as they think, I’m a focused woman (Kaka sipo hapo kama wanavyofikiri, mimi ni mwanamke makini), nina mambo mengi ya kulifanyia taifa langu, nashangaa hata hiyo hoja ya kutelekeza watoto, waulizeni hao watoto kama hawapajui kwangu, huyo kijana wa kiume kila mara anakuja kwangu hata wadogo zake wanamfahamu vyema, eti wanasema Dk. Slaa kawatelekeza wanataka awafanyie nini na wakati watoto wote hao ni above eighteen (zaidi ya miaka 18) na tayari wamezaa kila mmoja, hoja nyingine you must think big (kufikiri zaidi),” alisema Mushumbusi.

Kuhusishwa na Kinana, Lukuvi

Akijibu madai ya kutuhumiwa na Katibu Mkuu wa CCM, Abdulrahman Kinana, William Lukuvi ili kumpa maelekezo mumewe juu ya nini afanye baada ya kujiengua Chadema, Mushumbusi alikana madai hayo kwa kusema kuwa hana mawasiliano yoyote na watu hao.

“Sina mawasiliano na Kinana wala Lukuvi kwanza ni watu ambao sijawahi kufikiria hata siku moja kama nitazungumza nao, kwanza simpendi huyo Kinana,” alisema Mushumbusi.

Dk. Mwakyembe na Dk. Slaa

Kuhusu kukutana na Dk. Mwakyembe katika moja ya vyumba vya Hoteli ya Serena akiwa yeye na mume wake, Mushumbusi alikana taarifa hizo.

Hata hivyo, MTANZANIA Jumamosi linafahamu kuwa Mushumbusi alikuwepo katika moja ya vyumba vya hoteli hiyo ambavyo mume wake alivitumia kukutana na Mwakyembe saa chache kabla ya kuzungumza na waandishi wa habari.

Pamoja na ukweli huo, Mushumbusi alisema hana mawasiliano na Mwakyembe ingawa alikiri mume wake kukutana naye ili kupata ufafanuzi wa baadhi ya hoja za sakata la Richmond.

“Dk alihitaji kupata ufafanuzi fulani wa hoja za Richmond, kumbuka ripoti ya Richmond iliandikwa kisheria zaidi hivyo alimuhitaji Dk. Mwakyembe kwa ajili ya kupewa ufafanuzi wa baadhi ya vipengele ndipo walipokutana saa chache kabla ya mkutano na wanahabari,” alisema.

Dr. Slaa, Haya ndiyo aliyoyasema kuhusu Lowasa, CHADEMA na msimamo wake kisiasa

Dr. Slaa Dr Slaa katika hoteli ya Serena akiwa na walinzi wake 7, amefika na kuamua kuweka kila kitu wazi kuhusu ukimya wake. Soma hapo chini alichozungumza

Slaa: Kila mtu ana kiu ya kusikia Dr Slaa anasema nini, sijawahi kuona waandishi wengi hivi

Slaa: Wengi mnafahamu sina tabia ya kuyumbishwa, ninasimami a lile ninaloamini, ijulikane kama binadamu sina chuki na mtu

Slaa: Mimi sikuwa likizo kama mlivyoambiwa na wengine. Nimeamua kuachana na siasa tarehe 28 Julai 2015 saa 3 usiku.

Naomba ijulikane kuwa nilishiriki majadiliano ya awali juu ya ujio wa Lowassa ndani ya CHADEMA, ila sikuafiki ujio wake.

Slaa: Mchakato ndani ya CHADEMA ulianza mapema na jina langu lilipitishwa lakini bado sikuitangaza popote.

Slaa: Suala la Msingi ni kuangalia kama ni ASSET au LIABILITY, ASSET kwa maana kwamba anakuja na watu wangapi kwenye chama

Slaa: Tuliambia anakuja na wabunge wanaomaliza muda wao zaidi ya 50 na viongozi wengine toka CCM.

Slaa: Siku zikapita sikupewa majina ya wabunge hao, wenyeviti wa CCM mikoa wala makatibu wakuu.

Slaa: Upotoshwaji kwamba Dr Slaa alikubali toka mwanzo si kweli naomba viongozi wangu waseme kweli.

Slaa: Kamati kuu tumekaa toka saa 9 hadi 12:30 kikao kikavunjika, ikasemwa iundwe kamati ndogo kunishawishi, nikakataa.

Slaa: Niliandika barua ya kujizuru ndani ya kamati kuu kwa mwenyekiti wakati huo akiwa Profesa Safari, ambaye aliichana.

Slaa: Mimi mwanasiasa niliyozoea naamini siasa ni sayansi haitaki uongo, haitaki udanganyifu.

Slaa: Maamuzi yaliyofanywa, yalifanywa na mimi kwa ridhaa yangu mwenyewe.

Slaa: Sisi katika familia yetu tumezoea propaganda hizo, nishasema kama mna ushahidi muulete

Slaa: Nataka niwahakikishie D. Slaa na watoto wake wameendelea kula mihogo kama tulivyoahidi maana pesa imesaidia watanzania

Slaa:Ni lazima mwanasiasa yoyote duniani hataji jina linachafuliwe, hata Dr Slaa hataki jina lake lichafuliwe ni haki yangu.

Slaa: Jambo ambalo nataka nifafanue ni suala zima la LIABILITY au ASSET, ASSET nimelieleza, wamekuwa waongo hawakutekeleza

Slaa: Mtu ambaye hata mwezi mmoja haujapita tangu useme CCM ikimteua Lowassa atajitoa, leo anasema ni msafi.

Slaa: Wenyeviti waliokuja CHADEMA wote toka CCM ni mzigo, makapi.

Slaa: CHADEMA inachukua mtu kwa sifa ya wizi wa kura, kama hatutaki kuiba kura sisi tunaenda kufanya

Slaa: Suala la ASSET sikupata majibu, ndio maana hadi leo viongozi wangu wamepata kigugumizi, naongelea kwanini nimeondoka.

Slaa: Mimi padri , yaani nikubali kuweka mkataba na shetani kwaajili ya kuiondoa CCM? unaondoa CCM kwa ‘progamu series

Slaa: Watu waliikubali CHADEMA kwaajili ya misingi ya uadilifu, leo tuna unadilifu?

Slaa: Duniani kote tuhuma zinatolewa na ni jukumu la serikali kutoa majibu. Kama watu hawajui siasa bora wakae kimya.

Slaa: CCM siwezi kuwahurumia, hata Lowassa hapa alipofika ni kwakuwa CCM ilimlea.

Slaa: Kama ukikuta choo cha kitanzania, ukapakua kilichoko ndani ya choo na kuweka chumbani kwako, ipi ni choo?

Slaa: Mimi nilikuwepo 2008 wakati tunajadili RICHMOND tunapozungumza masuala hayo ni kwakuwa tunayajua na tuliyaishi Bungeni

Slaa: Lowassa tunamtuhumu mengi , mimi simtuhumu kwa RICHMOND tu, 2010 mimi nilimwambia atumbie hadharani RICHMOND ya nani

Slaa: Ni afadhali nipotee kwenye siasa Tanzania na duniani kote kuliko kuyumbishwa na misimamo yangu.

Slaa: Mimi nimeletewa rushwa asubuhi, nikamuuliza aliyeleta kama mimi unanipa milioni 500 unazo ngapi?

Slaa: Mwanzo wa RICHMOND lazima urudi kwanza kwenye taarifa ya baraza la mawaziri februari, 2006.

Slaa: Naomba mtambue kwamba suala hili la RICHMOND halikuanzia kwa Kikwete bali lilianzia kwa Mkapa.

Slaa: 2006 feb 10, Waziri mkuu alikuwa Lowassa, sasa leo unapokuja kunambia hakuhusika maanake nini?

Slaa: Ripoti ya Mwakyembe alitoa option mbili, Waziri Mkuu ajipime au Bunge lijadili na kutoa uamuzi, akakimbilia kujiuzulu.

Slaa: Lowassa dakika ya mwisho aliingilia, hakusaini yeye ila aliagiza personal assistance wake akasaini.

Slaa: Watu wanauliza kwanini namsema Lowassa mwenyewe ni kwakuwa anagombea urais wa nchi.

Slaa: Nendeni basi Monduli kwa Lowassa na Karatu mlinganishe wakati nikiwa mbunge, halafu tuone huyu mnayemuita mtendaji.

Slaa: Mnasema habari za shule ya kata, hizi sio zao lake ni upotoshwaji, aseme alibuni wapi wazo hili.

Slaa: Ugomvi wangu na Masha ni kwasababu nilitoka hadharani na kusema Masha umeingilia mchakato wa serikali, nikawa adui.

Slaa: Wakaandika uongo kuwa RICHMOND ni kampuni ya stationary wala sio umeme

Slaa: Waziri Mkuu anajua yote halafu ananyamaza, kama alikuwa hajui ni mzembe, kama ni mzembe hafai tena kuwa Rais wa nchi.

Slaa: Kumbuka Tanesco ni chombo kinachojitegemea, ikaagizwa kusaini mkataba ambao haikujadili, maanake ni nini?

Slaa: CHADEMA tumaini jipya lilijengekea, vijana wanaliamini ninaogopa, kwa masikitiko ninasema sitaki baadaye tufike pabaya

Slaa: Kama CHADEMA leo inafika hatua ya kujaza uwanjani watu kwa mabasi halafu mnasema kuna mafuriko,siko tayari kuwa zezeta

Slaa: Udanganyifu huu wa kujaza watu kwa kubebwa na magari kuja uwanjani wakajaza uwanja walikuwa nao CCM

Slaa: Nimewasikia CHADEMA jangwani, waliyoongea ni sehemu kubwa ya ilani ambayo ilishaandaliwa zamani, hakuna kipya.

Slaa: Kinachoniumiza ni sisi kuwa wabovu zaidi ya CCM.

Slaa: Nataka Lowassa ajue kuwa tunajua, Scotland inatuandikia kuwa achunguzwe kwa paundi milioni 400 alizopeleka marekani.

Slaa: Halafu wanasema nikizungumza eti nitaharibu sifa yangu, wacha iharibike.

Slaa: Mimi nimefundishwa kukemea maovu.

Slaa: Leo anakuja mtu hapa anatuambia nyamazeni? Mimi sitaki kuingia kwenye mambo ya akina babu seya.

Slaa: Leo baadhi ya vyuo vinatumia kesi ya babu seya kufundishia kama kesi ya ulawiti halafu lowaasa anasema ataifuta

Slaa: Nani aliyeagiza maaskari waingie na mbwa pale mwembe chai msikitini? Sumaye huyu huyu aliagiza.

Slaa: Lowassa akili yake ipimwe, kesi ya ulawiti Rais hapaswi kuingilia, anaingilia uhuru wa mahakama

Slaa: Ni afadhali kutokuwa na Rais wa aina hii, Rais ambaye anatumia udanganyifu kwakuwa watu hawajasoma hafai.

Slaa: Waswahili wanasema ukiumwa na nyoka basi hata jani ulikimbie, inabidi tuhakikishe kwamba tunakuwa makini

Slaa: Alipokuwa Waziri Mkuu haya matatizo yanayotokea leo hayakutokea?

laa: Mtu aliyesababisha migogoro ya mipaka halafu leo anataka kuwa Rais?

Slaa: Wapo watakaosema ameichana CHADEMA, ameijenga CCM. Ukweli haugawanyiki, kama yameitandika CHADEMA ndio ukweli ulivyo

Slaa: Nimesema sina chama ila mimi ni mtanzania, nitawatumikia watanzania kwa vipawa alivyonipa Mwenyezi Mungu.

Slaa: Nimeombwa kugombea urais kwenye vyama vitano ila nimekataa kwakuwa mimi siamini katika kuhama hama vyama.

Slaa: Mshenga niliyemtaja, alisema kanisa la kilutheri lote linamuunga mkono Lowassa, na maaskofu wa katoliki 30 wamehongwa

Slaa: Sitaenda chama chochote, nimesema sina chama, siasa kwa maana ya chama sina, ila siasa kwa ninayoamini.

Slaa: Sijaja kufanya kampeni leo, nimekuja kuwakumbusha Watanzania wasije wakajuta kama ambavyo tunajuta kwa kosa tulilofanya 2005 na 2010.

NEWS, DR. DRE APOLOGIZES TO THE ‘WOMEN I’VE HURT’

Straight Outta Compton has shattered records at the box office (the film made $56.1 million in its opening weekend), but despite the overwhelming reception, the N.W.A biopic has stirred controversy for glossing over a dark chapter in Dr. Dre’s past. The hip-hop mogul is finally speaking out on allegations that he physically abused women.

In a statement to The New York Times, Dre apologized to “the women I’ve hurt” and insists that he’s changed.

“Twenty-five years ago I was a young man drinking too much and in over my head with no real structure in my life,” he said. “However, none of this is an excuse for what I did. I’ve been married for 19 years and every day I’m working to be a better man for my family, seeking guidance along the way. I’m doing everything I can so I never resemble that man again.”

He went on to discuss, albeit briefly, the abuse allegations—”I apologize to the women I’ve hurt. I deeply regret what I did and know that it has forever impacted all of our lives.”

Apple, where Dre now works as a top consultant, also issued a statement: “Dre has apologized for the mistakes he’s made in the past and he’s said that he’s not the same person that he was 25 years ago. We believe his sincerity and after working with him for a year and a half, we have every reason to believe that he has changed.”

Additionally, The New York Times spoke to hip-hop journalist Dee Barnes and Michel’le, two women Dre allegedly attacked in the ’90s.

Michel’le, who mothered a son with Dre in 1991, claims that he gave her “black eyes, a cracked rib, and scars.” “I’ve been talking about my abuse for many, many years, but it has not gotten any ears until now,” she said.

“They brought up the past,” noted Barnes, who penned an open letter criticizing Straight Outta Compton. “Not me.”

Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Timesreported that an original draft of Comptonincluded a scene of abuse against Barnes, but it was omitted from the film.

GONJWA LA AJABU LA MTESA STAA WA BONGO MOVIE WEMA SEPETU

Musa Mateja
Habari mbaya ikufikie kuwa Mkurugenzi wa Kampuni ya Endless Fame Films Productions ambaye yupo kwenye harakati za kuwania Ubunge wa Viti Maalum kupitia Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) mkoani Singida, Wema Isaac Sepetu amegundulika kuwa na gonjwa la ajabu linalomsababishia kukosa raha ambalo linakua kadiri siku zinavyosonga.

Staa wa filamu Bongo, Wema Isaac Sepetu.

Gonjwa hilo limegundulika hivi karibuni machoni mwa paparazi wetu baada ya kumuona mlimbwende huyo wa Tanzania mwaka 2006 akiwa na bonge la nundu nyuma ya shingo, jambo lililomfanya paparazi ashindwe kujizuia na kuamua kumuuliza Wema.

MIAKA 26 MWILINI
Bila kupepesa macho Wema alisema kuwa ‘uvimbe’ huo upo mwilini mwake kwa zaidi ya miaka 26 sasa na umekuwa ukiongezeka siku hadi siku.

Wema alilazimika kufunguka zaidi baada ya paparazi wetu kumuona sehemu hiyo ikiwa imemvimba bila kujua kama ni tatizo lake la miaka yote.

Sehemu ya shingo iliyoonekana kuvimba.

HATA MAMA YAKE?
Wema alitolea ufafanuzi jambo hilo kwa kusema kuwa huo si uvimbe bali ni nundu ambayo amekuwa nayo tangu mwaka mmoja baada ya kuzaliwa na hata mama yake mzazi, Miriam Sepetu pia yuko hivyo.“Huu siyo uvimbe mpya, ujue mimi niko hivi na hii nundu ipo siku nyingi, sema imekuwa ikiongezeka kadiri siku zinavyosonga.

LAMKOSESHA RAHA
“Kweli tatizo hili linanikosesha raha. Nimekuwa nikisuka nywele ndefu na mara nyingine mawigi yangu ni marefu hivyo watu huwa hawanigundui.“Nadhani hili ni tatizo la kifamilia maana mama yangu pia yuko hivihivi isipokuwa mimi linaonekana kuwa kubwa sana,” alisema Wema.

MTU WA KARIBU
Paparazi wetu aliendelea kuchimba kwa watu wa karibu wa Wema ili kujua kama ni kweli hiyo nundu ipo siku zote au alipata ajali, jambo ambalo lilikuwa hivyo kutokana na majibu ya Petit Man ambaye alisema kuwa wao hata hawamshangai tena Wema maana hiyo nundu ipo kitambo na kuna muda huwa wanamtania kwa kumuita jina la Kinundu.

“Haaa! Wewe ulikuwa hujui kama Wema ana nundu, mbona ipo siku nyingi tu, sema huwa anaifunika na nywele na ndiyo maana haionekani sana, muda mwingi watu wamekuwa hawaigundui kwa kuwa ipo nyuma ya shingo, labda ingekuwa mbele au pembeni nadhani kila mtu angekuwa anaiona,” alisema Petit Man.

DAKTARI AFAFANUA
Akizungumza na gazeti hili, daktari maarufu jijini Dar, Godfrey Chale ‘Dokta Chale’ alifafanua kwamba ugonjwa huo kitaalam unajulikana kwa jina la Lipoma na huwa ni mkusanyiko wa nyama ya mafuta kwa ndani hivyo ukubwa wake ukizidi huwa ni gumu.

“Uvimbe huo ukishakuwa na ugumu huo unaotokana na kuwa kubwa husababisha mishipa ya damu kugandamizwa, hali inayomsababisha mgonjwa kuumwa na kichwa kwa upande wa nyuma.
“Pia huaribu muonekano wa kawaida wa mtu,” alisema Dk. Chale na kuongeza:
“Inabidi Wema amuone daktari kwa vipimo na upasuaji ili kuondoa uvimbe huo.”

Kidd Kidd is a free man after posting $105,000 bond Monday, July 6th. The 26-year old G-Unit rapper had been locked up in New York's Rikers Island since his arrest right before his performance at the 2015 XXL Freshman concert on June 30th.

NEWS; PUFF DADDY READIES LAST ALBUM ‘NO WAY OUT 2’

Puff Daddy is going back to where it all started. Nearly two decades since releasing his debut album, the hip-hop mogul is readying the sequel, No Way Out 2.

Bad Boy’s newest  member Gizzle   shared the news with Rap-Up TV at ASCAP’s Rhythm & Soul  Music  Awards  last month.

“I’m working on Puff Daddy’s last album,” said Gizzle. “It’s called No Way Out 2. It’s a crazy project. I’m very honored to be a part of it. Nobody can make an album like Puff Daddy. I’ll be actually rapping on there too.”

The album will serve as the follow-up to 1997’s No Way Out, released under the title Puff Daddy & The Family. He also debuted his Pharrell Williams-assisted single “Finna  Get Loose"  under his ’90s moniker.

According to Gizzle, No Way Out 2 will be Puff’s final album. “It’s one of a kind. The mindset is to just be classic and be epic and to really live up to that. We know it’s a tall order, but we welcome the challenge.”

Puff had previously announced plans for his mysterious MMM (Money Making Mitch)project. “I think MMM is something else,” said Gizzle. “You’ll be surprised. It’s a lot of cool things going on.”

Diddy has referenced  the No Way Out 2 title on Instagram using the hashtag #NWO2, and has plans to launch a Bad Boy 20th anniversary tour.

EXCLUSIVE NEWS; MISSY ELLIOTT PERFORMS AT ESSENCE FESTIVAL, PARTIES WITH BEYONCÉ & SOLANGE

Sparks were flying when Missy Elliott took the stage on Day 3 of the Essence Festival at New Orleans’ Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Saturday (July 4). In addition to performances from Usher, Mystikal, and Erykah Badu, the hip-hop trailblazer delivered one of the most anticipated sets of the weekend.

“I know y’all got your hair did and all that but we came to party,” said Missy (via Billboard). “I hope you brought your beautician with you.”

She ran through her hits including “Get Ur Freak On,” “One Minute Man,” “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly),” and “Hot Boyz.”

But she had some technical difficulties when she got to “Pass That Dutch.” After asking the sound guy to repeat part of the song (to no avail), she was unable to continue her set for six minutes.

“See? These are the type of things that artists go through,” she told the crowd.

When the sound came back, she was barely able to get through “Holding You Down (Goin’ in Circles)” and “Need U Bad” with Jazmine Sullivan before the mics were cut off again, much to the displeasure of her fans.

Two hours later, at 1 a.m., she returned to the stage to apologize, accompanied by Essence Communications president Michelle Ebanks and Monica, who was slated to appear during Missy’s set. Ebanks attributed the abrupt end of Missy’s show to a “production issue.”

“I’m sorry I was cut off,” said Missy (via NOLA.com) “I came here to give 100 percent. I was cut off. I was disappointed. I thank you for coming out.”

During his podcast “I’ll Name This Podcast Later,” the Slaughterhouse MC blasted Meek for going soft since dating Nicki. “Meek’s music is too hard for me to look at him with this fucking sappy fuck-shit,” he said. “Be the hardcore guy that I’m sure she was attracted to at some point. It’s nasty. I hate everything about it.”

Meek fired back, calling Budden a “noodle” and described the time he brought Budden on stage at a show in NYC. He also took shots at Joe’s bank account and his waning rap career, telling him to stick to “Love & Hip Hop” and take his girl to Wingstop instead of Philippe Chow.

Meek defended his lady and unleashed Nicki’s legions of fans, the Barbz, who blew up Joe’s mentions with a slew of insults.

MEEK MILL PENS TOUCHING FATHER’S DAY LETTER

Not only is Meek Mill a chart-topping rapper and business mogul, he’s also a dad. In honor of Father’s Day, the Philly rapper, who has a three-year-old son named Murad aka Papi, has penned a heartfelt letter for TIME. The 28-year-old discusses how his success and wealth have allowed him to provide for his son, who inspires him to work hard every day.

“As a father, now I get to give my son the life I never had. Being able to give him anything he wants is one of the best feelings in the world—but it’s also scary,” writes Meek. “I love my son with all my heart, and I would do anything for him. It’s a crazy feeling knowing that I will help him become a great man.”

When he’s not on tour or in the studio, he shares his favorite hobby with his son. “After spending time away from him, one of my favorite things to do is get on my four wheeler with my little man in tow,” he says. “Picture us riding around my neighborhood waving at all my neighbors. My son is fearless on his bike.”

Meek was young when his father was killed, so he had to provide for his family. “I never had a strong male figure in my life. I didn’t have that person to teach me things fathers teach their sons because my father was killed when I was young. It was just me, my mom, and my sister, so I had to be the man of the house.”

While he misses his dad, it has made him a better father. “I still miss my dad, and I always will. Growing up without a father made me realize just how special time is with my son and how much of an impact I can have on his life.”

He also salutes the single mothers who have to fill both roles. “They don’t get the credit they deserve. There’s not enough ways to really say thank you, but we celebrate them, too, for all they do.”

NEWS; JHENÉ AIKO PAYS HOMAGE TO TUPAC BY RECREATING ICONIC PHOTOS

Tupac Shakur would have been 44 today. In honor of his birthday, Jhené Aiko pays homage to the rap legend by recreating three iconic Tupac photos with photographer Danny Williams (via MTV News).

She sports overalls and a gold chain while capturing his classic 1996 All Eyez on Mealbum cover, and reimagines the photo used for ‘Pac’s posthumous Greatest Hits collection. In the third photo, she lies in a bathtub with gold chains covering her crotch, a nod to David LaChapelle’s “Becoming Clean” photo shoot, which occurred after ‘Pac’s release from jail in 1995.

The “Bed Peace” singer was eight years old when Tupac died on Sept. 13, 1996. She saw the 2003 documentary Tupac: Resurrection and became a fan forever.

“I remember for one of my birthdays, my dad got me one of his poetry books and I was just tripping out because his voice is his own thing,” she told MTV News. “Even if he didn’t write, his voice is powerful enough to stand alone, but then his words are the same thing. They’re powerful enough to stand on their own by just reading them. That’s something that I would like my words to be.”

In 2013, Jhené paid homage to her idol with an acoustic cover of her favorite Tupac song, “Keep Ya Head Up,” for Rap-Up Sessions.

“I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter and that song came on,” she said. “I just cried like never before. His words meant so much to me. I just felt like I needed to hear that. I didn’t know what was going to happen next.”

INSTAGRAM POST OF KARRUECHE TELLS CHRIS BROWN TO ‘MAN UP’

Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran are not done yet. Just when you thought it was over, the former couple engaged in a nasty exchange on social media over the weekend.

After their blowout fight at a Hollywood nightclub earlier this month, Chris chided his ex-girlfriend in an Instagram comment on The Shade Room for publicizing their breakup in recent interviews including one with “Access Hollywood.”

“Honestly, it’s so fucking pointless to keep doing interviews about me. Talk about your career,” he said. “If there is no more relationship then u shouldn’t be doing fucking interviews with people I won’t let get the pleasure of prying into my personal life.”

Karrueche shot back with her own response. In a lengthy post on Instagram, she blasted Breezy for his “lack of loyalty” and for forcing himself into her car, showering her with gifts, and continuing to pursue her.

“Man the fuck up and change the bs in your life like I’ve told you several times,” she wrote.

She ended by wishing him and his daughter Royalty the best of luck.

First off @chrisbrownofficial you just did an interview w Ryan Seacrest in which you spoke about me. My interview w Access Hollywood was not entirely about you.. they asked a question and as a mature adult I answered. I'm not gonna shy away from something that I lived through. I'm talking about my life and experiences. I'm not speaking on you or bashing you (like I easily could). Don't be mad at me because our relationship is over due to your lack of loyalty. You know what's weak?? You forcing yourself into my car.. my broken window.. blowing up my phone.. trying to shower me w gifts.. Man the fuck up and change the bs in your life like I've told you several times. Since you want to hear about my career - check out @vanityseries every Thursday on StyleHaul.com.. Emmy winning @thebaytheseriesthis Sept and 3 Headed Shark Attack on SyFy next month. Best of luck to you and beautiful Royalty 

Chris responded by posting a photo of the couple in happier days, and thanked her for “being in a part of my life.”

“I’ve learned so much from you. I wish u nothing but happiness and the best,” he said. “@karrueche all I was doing was trying to fight for the woman I love. ThanxI learned a lot.”
