Hip-Hop Rumors: Nicki Minaj Drops Diddy?
Man, Nicki Minaj is ABOUT HER BIZ! She straight switches up with no regard at all! LOL! Diddy is the latest person to hit the chopping block, as he was a manager. Here is the statement.. I don’t know where this came from, so it may still be a rumor…it reads a bit funny to me.
“By now, everyone should now that I am really strict when it comes to my representation. I had sympathy for Sean however I feel as if I haven’t gotten the guidance the manager is supposed to give his client. Personally, I feel like I’m being managed by mother. Even if you play the smallest role on my team, I wish to see progress. I’d like to thank him for everything he has done for me; for taking me under his wing. I wish him the best with repping Rick. But now that my album is about to drop, its time to get serious and stop playing games. If I could turn back time…I wouldn’t have made the decision to let Troy go.”
So, now she’s allegedly rocking with Benny Medina…the man behind J. Lo, Mariah Carey and even Will Smith. Pause for Will.

The singer was facing charges for a DUI test refusal, criminal trespassing, discharging a weapon near a street, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and fleeing or attempting to elude a police offer.
The charges stemmed from an October 2008 incident where Lyfe allegedly kicked down the door of his ex-girlfriend's house screaming "Where are my kids!!! I want my fucking kids!!!". Jennings then went to his car, grabbed a pistol and started shooting. To top things off he then led police on a high speed chase that ended in an accident (which is why he looks all fucked up in his mugshot).
According to the woman, Jennings then went to his car, grabbed a gun and started shooting.
Jennings was released from prison 6 years ago after serving a 10 year sentence for arson.
