Has been rapper and recent reality TV star Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Robert Matthew Van Winkle, was arrested on Thursday night for allegedly hitting and kicking his wife. His wife Laura told a deputy that “He started yelling at me for going out to buy a bedroom set. In front of my daughter. I’m sorry I can’t say any more until I talk to an attorney.” Is he so hard up on cash that he would hit his wife for buying a household necessity? According to the Palm Beach Post, the 40-year old Winkle was charged with simple domestic battery and is being held at the Palm Beach County Jail.

Rapper Paperboy, whose real name is Mitchell Charles Johnson, was busted in Merced, California after the police found a small amount of pot and a prescription bottle not in his name after a traffic stop. Johnson was booked on misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession and transportation, illegal possession of prescriptions medication and driving on a suspended license. He has since been released after paying a $10,000 bail. If you don’t know about who exactly Paperboy is, well… I can’t tell you either. Oh wait, here’s something I remember – “Do the ditty if you want to … because then I can see if I want you.”

No, we’re not even going to get into the whole “he’s still alive argument”. The latest rumors include a published report that say Sean “Diddy” Combs was linked to the death of Tupac Shakur in 1994.
An article published in the L.A. Times says that Diddy and Christopher Wallace (Notorious B.I.G.) knew about Jimmy Henchman and James Sabatino’s plan to off Tupac. The death subsequently sparked a rap war between the coasts.
Diddy’s rep says, “This story is beyond ridiculous and is completely false. Neither Biggie nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during, or after it happened. It is a complete lie to suggest that there was any involvement by Biggie or myself. I am shocked that the Los Angeles Times would be so irresponsible as to publish such a baseless and completely untrue story.”

It’s a case of is he or isn’t he. And more to the point; do we really care? But anyway, according to a rapper who has recently recorded with him, Eminem has not become fat as reports suggested.
Over Christmas, it was reported the former hip-hop don had been hospitalised in Detroit with a series of health complaints. It was also claimed that Marshall Mathers had ballooned in size to 250 pounds, putting his long-term health in jeopardy.
However, Trick Trick, who has enlisted Eminem and Dr Dre for his upcoming new album, says the allegations are wide of the mark.
“He’s nowhere (near) 250 pounds or anything like that. He picked up a little weight. He ain’t walkin’ around obese or some sh*t though. He can still run two miles if you want him to and still out-box the majority of them. My man still gets down”, explained Trick Trick.
Eminem is understood to have rapped and produced, alongside Dre, “Who Want It”, which is due for release later this year.
