Teen rap ‘star’ Soulja Boy was attacked last week. Check out the report below:

A representative for teen sensation Soulja Boy has confirmed the young entertainer was assaulted last week.

Unconfirmed reports began circulating on New Year’s Eve that Soulja Boy and several of his close friends were ambushed and robbed at gunpoint on Tuesday night (December 30) after six men invaded the rapper’s home.

Allegedly, Soulja Boy’s friend Jbar was nearly taken hostage during the robbery.

The following day (December 31), a video surfaced of two masked men claiming responsibility for the crime.

In the clip, the duo boasted of stalking Soulja Boy before the attack by attending his album release party and subsequently tailing the rapper to his home.

The alleged thieves further described the robbery in detail. They disputed initial reports of there being six assailants armed with pistols and Ak-47s.

Instead, the alleged robbers claimed the crime was completed between them with one weapon.

Due to the two minute video’s over the top content, the clip was initially met with skepticism by fans and media alike.

However, a representative for Soulja Boy has confirmed with AllHipHop.com that an incident did take place, but the rep refused to provide any concrete details, stating only that the crime is “a serious situation.”

Soulja Boy released his sophomore album iSouljaBoyTellem on December 16.

Earlier this week, the teen rapper again sparked controversy by releasing a Youtube video accusing legendary lyricist Nas of killing Hip-Hop and destroying economic opportunities of other emcees. {Source}

Peep this behind the scenes look at the video for Teairra Marie’s brand new single, the Pleasure P (formerly of Pretty Ricky) assisted ‘Hunt 4 U’. I must say the song, which is the first single to be lifted from the former ‘Princess of The Roc’s as yet untitled Interscope debut, continues to grow on me by the day – the Benny Boom directed video doesn’t look bad either. Be on the look-out for the video’s premiere in the week(s) ahead.

Review in a bit…

In the meanwhile…

What do you think of the video?

R&B star Kelly Rowland has been busy carving out a successful solo career for herself outside of the USA since the release of her sophomore effort ‘Ms. Kelly’. The 27 year old singer took to the stage at MTV Africa’s first MTV Africa Awards, performing her smash ‘Like This’ with Nigerian star D’Banj.

Granted it’s good to see Kelly building her ‘International’ base, performances like that aren’t going to do her any favours. Knowing what Kelly is capable of delivering on her own accord (see below), it grates a little to see her serve up such a so-so/sub-par showing with this. I mean if she wasn’t going to dance (which she didn’t – more just walked around the stage), then the vocals should have been on-point – which they weren’t. More of performances like these please Kelly (see below):

What do you think of the performance?

With a flopping album to promote, Soulja Boy has taken a leaf out of 50 Cent’s book and making controversial comments about other artists. Peep what the teen ‘star’ had to say about Nas above. SMH…

There is mounting speculation that Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony are set to call it quits on their 4 year marriage:

Rumours JENNIFER LOPEZ and MARC ANTHONY’s marriage is on the rocks refuse to go away – a new report predicts the pair will split shortly after Valentine’s Day (14Feb09).

The singer/actress sparked speculation of a pending divorce after she was photographed without her wedding ring at a film premiere in December (08) – weeks after the couple renewed their wedding vows in a secret Las Vegas ceremony in October (08).

And although the couple’s spokesperson recently declared the pair are “doing great” in an official statement, the New York Daily News has reported a split announcement is imminent.

A source tells the publication, “Marc and Jennifer are planning on announcing their divorce right after Marc’s show at Madison Square Garden on February 14.

“Jennifer is planning on joining Marc onstage for a surprise duet. Things haven’t been right for a while now, and they thought it would be a bittersweet farewell… They’re definitely planning a clean break in February.”

Ouch. For ol’ Jenny’s sake, I hope this isn’t true. Seems as if she can never be in a relationship too long (See: Diddy, Chris Judd, Ben Affleck etc).
