Young Jeezy recently confirmed his long-rumored relationship with R&B singer Keyshia Cole, and it was a lot more serious than most thought. In one of Vibe’s feature stories in their latest issue, Jeezy not only admits to a relationship with Keyshia, but also claims the singer once proposed to him.
“Keyshia asked me to marry her, bought me a ring and everything. She not gonna tell you different,” Jeezy told he mag. “I was grown enough to tell her, ‘Look baby, that isn’t what it is right now. I’m trying to get my s*#t together. I’m trying to get my money, take care of me and mine.’”
Rick Ross recently addressed the rumor about him and Foxy Brown on MTV Friday night. Rumor has it that they were supposedly getting married. It seem Rick isn’t marring anyone anytime soon. This rumor came about when an article in the Hip Hop Weekly stated that Foxy was moving with Rick Ross in Miami. When recently ask about this on MTV, Ross stated, “Nah, nah, nah…..the engagement is just speculation. I’m married to money.” Well I guess with that said, you can’t believe everything you hear.

B.E.T. took over L.A. last night with it’s Annual Award Ceremony. This event drew celebrities from all over to meet at the Shrine Auditorium. Unexpected winners brought shock to the crowd. UGK were the spotlight of the show, winning two awards, one for “Best Group” and the other for “Video Of The Year” with “International Player’s Anthem”. Kanye won “Best Male Hip Hop Artist Award”. Some weren’t expecting that outcome, especially when the other nominees included Lil Wayne & Jay Z. Some felt that Lil Wayne should have won that award, cause of his album sells and mixtape exposures. At least Wayne got the “Viewer’s Choice Award” for his latest single “Lollipop”. He stated,” I am nothing without God, Baby! I just want to say thank God, thank my family and thank Universal.” Dang Weezy what about your fans!
As the show went on another shocker, but a crowd pleaser….Raheem Devaugn finally got recognized for the “Best J Award”. This was a shocker, because his nominees happen to be jazz queens, such as Chaka Khan, Ledisi, Jill Scott and Angie Stone. Also a pleaser because Raheem has been an unrecognized artist for some time now, and it’s finally time that we see him get recognized for his efforts.
If you didn’t catch the show, you must make the time to check out the video above showing Ciera & Chris Brown’s performance. The choreography was just sick. That move that Chris Brown pulled off at the end was crazy. Yo, I have too say the way that they move together made me wonder a little. What you think?

Last week on radio airwaves, Ice T made comments on Soulja Boy’s music. He basically said that it’s garbage and really had no relevance. Ice T’s comments prompted a self recorded response not just from Soulja boy, but also Kanye West. Kanye begins to explain how washed up rappers always talk about the golden era…not realizing that this is the golden era for today’s kids. Here you have a kid that came from the hood, produced his own beats, lyrics, and dance, and also went platinum. If that’s not hip hop, than what is…. Kanye states. He believes artist like Soulja Boy are creative and fresh, not redundant like some other artists.
