(Photos) Poppington Gallery Hosts ‘Paid In Full’ Art Exhibit
“No ribs, no rice, no champagne,” surely comes to mind when looking at the two paintings in the above photo, and the beauty in the middle is the brainchild of it all. Burgeoning artist Rebecca Maria‘s first solo show paid homage to the classic film Paid In Full, featured at Poppington Art Gallery in NYC yesterday.
The exhibit, which featured Rebecca live-painting one of her 14 pieces of work, was accompanied by 80s and 90s-themed music, giving guests a feeling of nostalgia. “This is a great addition to the Paid In Full legacy,” one attendee noted, referencing the almost 40-year history that includes a movie, Eric B. & Rakim‘s album, and the true-life story of Rich Porter, Alpo and AZ.

(Photos) Meek Mill’s Grammy After-Party: Big Celebs, Big Fights and More!
Following last year’s shin-dig with real live lions and camels, Meek Mill held his second-annual post-Grammy bash, and it was definitely another night to remember! This year it was held at a glass house (literally) previously owned by Justin Bieber, and it was GORGEOUS! Yours truly was in the building (with my squad – Morgan, Mike Zombie and Chill Moody,) as well as TONS of the biggest names in music, from Justin Bieber to DJ Mustard, French Montana, Khloe Kardashian, Chinx, Tyga, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, YG, Bridget Kelly, DJ Carisma, Tinashe, Honey Cocaine, Chris Brown, Omarion, Lil Fizz, Sean Kingston…the list goes on and on! (That’s all I can remember seeing, but I was drunk as a skunk so I’m sure I missed a ton of names.)
The party went on without incident until around 3:30am, when (of course) a fight broke out, and the cops eventually shut it down. Reports soon surfaced that the brawl involved Chris Brown, but he took to Instagram the next day to shut it down with the following post:

(Video) Iggy Azalea Calls Hot 97 “Shady;” Hot 97 Morning Show Responds
An interview that Iggy Azalea did with GQ last week quoted her as saying she “sparked a change” in hip-hop, naturally prompting some rather hilarious responses from both haters and supporters of the Australian raptress. It was quite a bold statement…as well as one that may not necessarily be accurate…and a ton of reaction memes immediately surfaced afterward.
Hot 97′s Ebro shared one of his own after HipHopWired asked for faces of your reaction to the quote, posting an adorable “FOH” face that his newborn daughter had once made. This set the always-outspoken Iggy off on a little tirade, calling Hot 97 “shady,” amongst other things. In response, Ebro and his morning show co-hosts Peter Rosenberg and Laura Stylez let her know how they really feel. Check out what they said below.
Who do you side with in this one? I’m on the fence. Personally, I feel that Iggy IS attacked WAY more than the average celeb…but I also feel like she needs to quit crying about EVERY situation.

(Photos) 7 Rappers & Their Non-Famous Baby Mamas! (Meek Mill, Juelz Santana, 2 Chainz & More!)
Rappers baby mamas are often hidden from their social media, as that part of their lives usually happened before the fame, and there’s a variety of factors that leads to the need for privacy. Often times it unfortunately is because the caliber of woman is way below the type they’ve become known for dating, and the boogawolf being discovered may be a little damaging to the rep they’ve attempted to build, but it also can be because of the woman’s desire to be out of the limelight, not only for personal reasons but for safety reasons as well.
This doesn’t fly for everyone, as there are plenty of baby mamas who came after the fame, and though they may not necessarily be celebrities as well, they’re probably at least Instagram famous. You know how these chicks do these days! However…this post isn’t about them.
I’m sure a lot of you are curious as to the caliber of women these guys had before the money and the fame, so I’ve put together a few of the rappers baby mamas list below. Check out who Meek Mill, Juelz Santana, 2 Chainz and more were with way back when!
