Juelz Santana, the rapper who's collaborated with Chris Brown, Sean Kingston and Cam'ron, was arrested at his home in New Jersey -- after his wife told cops he threatened to kill her!

Police Find Heroin, Weed & Cash At Jadakiss' Home
Police have raided an apartment leased to rapper Jadakiss and seized 5 grams of heroin, 6.5 pounds of marijuana and $40,000 cash from the Yonkers New York residence, say published reports. According to sources, Jadakiss was not at the home at the time of the raid and he is not wanted by police. The cash and drugs were found in a Van der Donck Street apartment and the police executed a search warrant after an incident on Friday. The police said they saw an individual in a car that smelled like marijuana. They arrested 25-year-old Alberto Lajara and charged him with fifth degree criminal possession of marijuana and disorderly conduct.
A passenger, Gabriel R. Henriquez, 39, attempted to allude police and was subsequently charged with felonious second-degree criminal possession of marijuana and second-degree assault as well as second-degree obstructing governmental administration, a misdemeanor.

OMARION IS KICKED OUT OF YOUNG MONEY
Looks like bad news for ol' Omari! Seems like somebody has leaked a new song with Wayne and Omarion and forced somebody to "out" his real status. This is what I got in my inbox. The song is called "I Get It In" and it features both dudes, but Mack Maine sent out a blast that set the record straight. He said, "ATTN: Omarion is no longer Young Money...the song day leaked ft. Wayne is not official..good luck 2 him in his future endeavors..no further comments." Now, this is what I am curious about...did Bow Wow joining result in O getting the boot. I can't recall fully, but didn't they have some sort of beef?
Anyway, here is the odd side of it. My homey J Smooth saw Wayne and the crew at the recent stop (I think Los Angeles). He said they brought Omari out on stage and even introduced him as the latest member of Young Money. Man, they went so far as to let him do a Michael Jackson dedication with a MOONWALK. AND, now...he's no longer on. I smell a rat!

Freck Billionaire and Manager Fire Back at Floyd Mayweather Jr
In a recent interview with AllHipHop.com, Philadelphia-bred rapper Freck Billionaire and his personal manager Animal Steele responded to the comments made by Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mayweather, who signed Freck to his Philthy Rich Records, claimed that Freck Billionaire knowingly joined his company though he was already in another contract.
The boxer also alleged that the rapper stole a diamond watch. In an exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com, Freck Billionaire responded to Mayweather’s remarks.
“Since you really at the bottom of your heart don't wanna see anyone around you with anything, I'll send a courier to you with my watch. Maybe you can use it to lure in your next victim," Freck told AllHipHop.com.
Freck and Animal Steele both claim that the watch in question was a gift given to the newly signed rapper by Mayweather.
“The watch was a gift from Floyd to Freck. It symbolized the business arrangement that we were all heading into together. Floyd's out of control ego hindered any chance of success. We decided to weather through the storm and every time that Freck received any shine, all progress came to a screeching halt,” said Steele.
In a recent AllHipHop interview, Mayweather charged the watch was stolen and attempts to recover from Freck have failed.
Mayweather said, "We were working with an artist named Freck Billionaire. When he came aboard we asked if he had any contracts and he said no. Come to find out he was signed with somebody. The guy was trying to sue us and Freck stole one of our watches and left. So we’ve been looking for Freck Billionaire but he’s been ducking and dodging us. He stole a diamond watch and left."
Steele also claims that Mayweather was trying to break Freck apart from the rap group Street Family, which also consists of Fabolous, Paul Cain and Red Café.
“Once Floyd made it obvious that he didn't want Freck affiliated with Street Fam and more specifically Fabolous, the line was crossed. It was Floyd's "Philthy Rich or die" attitude that forced us to make a move back east. After all it was Fab's guidance and leadership that put us on the map in the first place. At the end of the day our loyalty is to Street Fam and our personal relationship with Fabolous," continued Steele.
In May it was reported that a Long Island-based company, Just for You Entertainment, was suing Mayweather, claiming that he stole their artist-- Freck Billionaire.
“As far as the allegation of a prior commitment is concerned, we all know that if Floyd had any true intentions of working on a Freck Billionaire project, his capital could've gotten to the bottom of any situation.”
Freck continues to receive support from Brooklyn rapper Fabolous who featured him on his new album Loso's Way on the track “There He Go” alongside Paul Cain, Red Café.
Last week Freck released his latest mixtape This Is Family Pt.2, which features Fabolous and Red Café, among others.

ALLHIPHOP.COM INTERVIEWS Floyd Mayweather
AllHipHop.com: Let’s switch gears to your music label Philthy Rich Records. How has that been going being that you’re managing it simultaneously with your ring career?
Mayweather: Yeah! People want to know why we really never came out with any artists or albums. In the beginning we were working with a cousin of mine whose rap name was Sacrifice and [another artist named] Jumbo, but he had problems back home. And with my cousin, sometimes family and business get mixed up. So they never got off the ground.
The next artist was real underground, and at the time there were really no underground artists that were taking off. We moved on to H-Flow, and H had manager problems and everyone felt like we owed them something. The next one, Lombardi, he fell in love with a girl. Things just kept happening.
Then we started Mayweather Music. Tasha White was running that, and I think it was too much for her. She was more like a mid-level manager instead of an executive. We needed someone who had been around the game and knew the ins and outs to run Mayweather Music, which was more for R&B.
We were working with an artist named Freck Billionaire. When he came aboard we asked if he had any contracts and he said no. Come to find out he was signed with somebody. The guy was trying to sue us and Freck stole one of our watches and left. So we’ve been looking for Freck Billionaire but he’s been ducking and dodging us. He stole a diamond watch and left.
So that’s what has been going on. The business is so dirty.
AllHipHop.com: You already have a Hip-Hop collaboration under your belt with the Ludacris song “Undisputed.” With what has happened with the label so far, do you think you’ll now take a more visible approach ala Diddy or keep yourself in the background?
Mayweather: I love music, and right now the most talented artist I’ve come across is Freck Billionaire. But he does business so dirty we couldn’t work with him. We let him walk in our studio for free and put him up in a hotel free of charge. Anything he needed he got, he was comfortable. It’s the people around you. They all end up being the same way. Leonard Ellerbe, Al Haymon, James McNair, and the rest of my team have never let me down. Everybody else comes and goes while feeling like you owe them something. But they never get in the ring for you and throw the punches, or run on the ropes, the roadwork, hit the heavy bag, they don’t do anything.
In the Hip-Hop world today, everybody is a gang-banger. It’s a fad. It’s so crazy; you got Blood and Crips in New York City. I see a lot of things in Hip-Hop that aren’t cool. I just like to hear good music.
AllHipHop.com: On that note, your popularity has caused rappers to mention your name on occasion. When you have an instance like the Rick Ross line on “Mafia Music,” (That Mayweather money looking funny in the light) does that bother you or do you feel flattered at any type of crossover recognition?
Mayweather: Nah, they say Rick Ross was throwing shots at me. I feel like this, Cassidy already did “I’m a Hustla,” [and] he’s an East Coast rapper. That’s already been done. Freeway already came out with the beard look. And then the real Rick Ross was really getting it as a hustler. I don’t have to take no shots at Rick Ross. I don’t think he’s making $20-$30 million every time he goes out there to perform. I got my own name, Floyd “Money” Mayweather. That’s original. With his rap career, I wish him nothing but the best.
[His] stats and credentials don’t rhyme. One minute he said he wasn’t a CO or cop, next minute he is. He can learn how to get money from me. If he’s a cop and rapping about selling drugs, I guess he was a dirty cop! You know me, I’m not ducking and dodging no one, it’s not hard to find me. I’m in Miami all the time, Atlanta, everywhere.
It’s crazy because me and my manager Al Haymon were the ones that did Lil Wayne’s last tour. So when I seen Rick Ross in Miami on the first show, he broke his neck to speak to me. Rap has truly changed. He was at my Hatton fight, cheering me on. I guess he got upset because I’m cool with 50 Cent. But like I said if I need someone arrested I’ll call him.

DJ KAY SLAY SPEAKES ON JAY-Z & GAME BEEF
“I respect the Game, like he’s a real good friend of mine and me and Jay-Z never really seen eye-to-eye, but what I am gonna say is I think Jay-Z deserves a little more respect for as long as he’s been in the game. And Game, he [should] just chill for a second. I really don’t think he fired at him hard enough for him to be going as hard as he’s going but then again, Game is a man. He’s gonna do what he’s gotta do. But me, I just think that, you gotta be on that individual level to go at him. And I don’t think Game has reached that yet.”

BEANIE SIGEL TO DISS GAME???
Stop the presses. I just got word that Beanie Sigel has recorded a diss towards The Game on Jay-Z behalf. Now, I am not sure how real this s, but its not unthinkable. My "sources" have heard the diss and say that is it a "Game changer" and could be "Game over." I MUST admit, Game is a beast in the diss department so it is hard for me to theorize a diss of that magnitude. But, lest we not forget what Beanie Sigel did to Jadakiss a ways back. Ouch. That was a different time, different era. Rap wasn't so WWE back then. Anyway, if Beanie has jumped into this fray, it would totally change the landscape. I don't think it frees Jay up, but it certainly makes it a bit easier. We need Beanie back in rap anyway. Diss or no diss, much love to Beanie Sigel.

DRAKE SPEAKS!!!
This bottle of Opus One is low but my spirits are high my friends. I am about 2 hours away from Toronto, CA where I will be spending the next chunk of time recovering from a surgery that I now must have. I embarked on this tour with a torn ACL, MCL, and LCL and due to the events that happened the other night lord only knows what other damage I have done. On the bright side I will begin the reflecting and soul searching that its going to take to make this album and my outfit on the night I fell was crack. I will forever push myself beyond the limits despite advice and recommendations given because even with this new found success I am still the kid who wanted this more than anything in the world. Its funny when I read comments from previous fans who have lost interest because of the radio play and exposure I have. I just want to assure anyone reading that nothing has changed on my end. I refuse to get comfortable, I refuse to fall in line and follow anyone elses formulas. I still work as if So Far Gone had never dropped and I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to gain entry to this game.
“Missing someone gets easier everyday. Because, even though it is one day further from the last time you saw each other, it is one day closer to the next time you will”
