50 Cent went on the Tyra Banks Show and she asked him why he and his baby mama Shaniqua fell out and this is what he said, "She took bad information to heart. At one point I was providing her a half a million dollars a year with out any court being involved...I'm really only responsible for him [Marquis] and that is what she found out after I was taken to court. Her friend told her in New York state law you're entitled to 17% but that's up until $80,000...She looked at the Forbes and goes, 'You robbing me.'"

Maybe That's Why He Pee'd On The Floor
The other day news leaked that Kanye West did a number one on the floor of his dressing room at the MTV Europe Awards. Now we may know why. Even though Kanye won the award for Ultimate Urban act he was pissed about it. Kanye told the British press, "I won nothing last year and I'd brought out Stronger. Then this year, just because I was there, I won best urban act. This was Lil Wayne's year."

Pepa In Real Estate Scandal
Sandy 'Pepa' Denton got drama with her ex-husband and his baby mama. One year after Pepa divorced Naughty by Nature front man Anthony 'Treach' Criss, she met and married this dude named Emora Horton. Soon after, Emora and Pep formed Scotch Bonnet Realty Corp. with Emora running the business. Within a year Emora got his ex-girl friend, Cateania Matthews, pregnant and he and Pep divorced but stayed in business together. At some point Emora and his baby mama Cateania pulled a scam where Scotch Bonnett Realty 'sold' her a house but the lied about the amount of money she put down on it in order to secure a home equity loan for $30,000.00.
Fast forward, Cateania is in bankruptcy court trying to get out of paying the loan while Pepa is claiming her name was forged on the transfer deed and that the house should still belong to her with no liens attached. In the end, Pep decided not to push it and told her lawyer, "I'm a mother; she's a mother. Fine, let it go." They say by the end of Tuesday's court proceedings, the two women were smiling, crying and hugging each other, clearly relieved to have put the legal battle behind them. Cateania is to give up the property as part of her Chapter 13 court proceedings.

They say P Diddy threw a hissy fit after his party decorations did not turn out as planned.

But when Diddy showed up they say he was horrified by the decorators vision and your boy started screaming, 'Show me the receipts!' and 'Get me my money back!'
