"While 50 Cent and Fat Joe are making peace at the BET Hip Hop Awards, Rick Ross and Young Jeezy continued their spat in a parking lot, where it is believed the rappers got into a shoving match backstage, shots were fired in the parking lot and a man was arrested.
No confirmed reports on whether the rappers were in the parking lot when the shots were fired but the awards have been halted because of the incident.
Funkmaster Flex and JasFly tweeted the incident."

The Manor Live @ The Beckenham
The Manor Live @ The Beckenham
A stone’s throw away from The Manor Way, Beckenham boys; Danny Graft, Johnny Dutch and Scotty Stacks showed their hometown how to host a mixtape launch party, the Manor way. This trendy trio of no-nonsense, never-mind-the-b***ocks lads arrived on the scene greeted and charmed by a conveyor belt of Joey Essex-esque gentlemen and scantily but smartly clad fun-loving ladies. The room was rammed with punters but there was never any suggestion that the artists were in any way separate or superior from their supporters. It’s strange to even describe them as supporters as it appeared to me to be much more than that, it was like watching a huge family celebrate a birthday or a world cup winning team parading through its home town. There was a tremendous fragrance of pride in the air and it was refreshing to see so many people turn up to an independently organised event for a band whose exposure is still embryonic.
This was a group of musicians performing well in their comfort zone. They had the venue in the palm of their hands, they could do no wrong and it was glaringly obvious that the night was going to be a triumph. The drinks continued to flow, and slowly one by one The Manor managed to part themselves from their beverages and assembled behind the microphones, fighting through a frenzy of pats on the back, handshakes and kisses (from the females, I hasten to add). The cockney crew cruised through their catalogue, raising the decibels, excitement and sweat in the venue with every passing minute. Dropping big crowd favourites like ‘Shut It Down’ and ‘Leave It Alone’ culminated in absolute mayhem with people jumping and jiving on VIP sofas and chairs while security did their best to resist joining in. This was mayhem but in a good way, the energy was absolutely crazy and the night could easily have continued for hours. This is a group of down-to-earth geezers playing in their local boozer, but it should not for one second be forgotten that these a truly talented musicians. They collect catchy choruses and verses together, blended with an array of impeccable production to make actual songs, not freestyles, not remixes – original songs.
It’s much more than a local band doing a local gig, what makes The Manor unique is their individual stories, their banter on and off the mic, and the fact that the majority of Britain’s urban and suburban population can relate to their content. It’s very easy for newcomers to jump on board the Manor bandwagon or ‘lagboat’ as they’d say; learn the lingo, listen to the vibes and lose yourself.
If ‘Welcome to the Manor’ was a myth of a mixtape then it’s sequel literally was, Free Mixtapes Don’t Pay The Rent failed to make an appearance on the internet on the anticipated release date due to technical issues but it did eventually come out a few days later!

K KOKE - ONLY ONE [OFFICIAL VIDEO] [@KOKEUSG]
This is perhaps a little snippet of what's to come from the I Ain't Perfect LP. I love it, his verses are hard, the hook is reminiscent of a proper artist and not just any underground rapper. This is progress, this is necessary, only the small-minded people will be reluctant to evolve with Koke.
