Solange's Sales Disappoint
Despite having the biggest media push of any of Matthew Knowles' stable of artists, outside Beyonce, Solange Knowles' sophomore effort, Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams, scanned a disappointing 30,276 units it's first week out, landing your girl at number 14 on the charts. In contrast, Lil Wayne, currently holding on to the number 8 spot, sold 55,139 copies last week, more than a month after his cd's release. The Game sits at number 1 with LAX scanning 222,844 copies. Better luck next time Solo.

Foxy Finds Out How Cold It Is In The D
Fox Boogie was in Detroit last Friday for a Legends of Hip Hop concert at Chene Park where she shared the bill with Nas and Scarface. Too bad they booed the shit out of her. With her brother serving as hype man, Fox sang a fucked up medley of her verses from various hit songs and was roundly booed for her efforts. Oh, and my spies say while she did not have on any pink lipstick, her weave, as usual, was fucked up.

The Reason Suge Kicked That Girl's Ass
Suge Knight and his girlfriend of 3 years were on their way to a strip club when his phone rang. Realizing it was another woman, Suge's girl tried to check him. Big mistake. That's when Suge went off. Police reports say the girl doesn't even know what happened next, all she remembers is waking up on the ground naked.
Charges Filed In Funeral Fight
Remember when Game went to his cousin's funeral and got into a fist-fight [at the funeral] over money he supposedly promised but never came up with to cover funeral costs? The cousin he was fighting, Robert "Kirky" Kirkwood, pressed charges against Game. So now your boy is facing criminal battery charges. Not a good look, especially since Game is on probation for felonious weapons charges right now.

Suge and his girl were driving near the strip when, for unknown reasons, Suge slugged the chick several times in the head. The girl grabbed the steering wheel and forced the car onto the curb where she jumped out and ran. Didn't do her any good because Suge caught her ass and continued to beat her. Passersby called the cops who showed up just in time to catch Suge kicking the chick in the head. Suge, who was wielding a knife and had Ecstasy and hydrocodone in his possession was arrested and hit with assault and drug charges. He later posted $19,000 bail and was released.
Mos Def Attacks Photographer
Mos Def does not like paparazzi or random people taking his picture. So Mos was in Las Vegas for the MAGIC fashion convention when some random dude, who didn't know Mos' aversion to snapshots, tried to get a picture of the camera-shy rapper/actor. They say your boy went off, screaming: "Everybody knows I don't take pictures!" and snatched dude's camera off his neck, cutting the shooters hand in the process. Mos is now under investigation for larceny and you can bet a lawsuit is not far behind.
Dog Unleashed
Surprise, surprise. DMX got let out of jail. Even though he cussed out the judge for denying him bail, his attorney was able to work out a plea deal for time served and a $483 fine for trying to buy coke and weed from an undercover officer in Miami this past June. That takes care of his Miami charges, now he just has to settle his business in Arizona.
OJ And Arnell Got Into It
OJ Simpson and his oldest daughter Arnell got into a knock down drag out fight in Florida this past Sunday.

That's when Arnell let OJ have it, blasting him for lavishing money on Christine while Arnell's mother, OJ's first wife, Marguerite Whitley, has to work at Walmart. They say Arnell busted her 61 year old father in the mouth and pushed him to the ground opening a gash on his head. They say Arnell herself called 911 after feeling guilty for kicking her father's ass.
Pump Your Brakes Solange
Your girl Solo tried to put a news anchor in check because she thought the anchor mentioned Jay Z while introducing her. The thing is, the comment was made off-air, leaving Solange looking crazy. She did confirm her sisters marriage, though.
