What’s HOT With Beestroh : Future Off Drake Tour? VIDEO

DAM! Future Off Drakes Tour After Comments Made In Billboard Magazine

Hot rappers Drake and Future are facing off in a $1.5 million feud after Drake demanded supporting act Future be kicked off his tour in a beef over a Billboard article, Page Six can exclusively reveal. Drake was booked to tour with Future and R&B singer Miguel on a 39-city schedule kicking off Friday in Pittsburgh. Future went to Billboard magazine's office on Oct. 4 to give editors a listen to his latest album, "Honest." Associate editor Erika Ramirez published a story with quotes from Future, which she also posted on her Twitter feed. "Not only is future's #honest album interesting, so are his thoughts on Drake's #NWTS album," Ramirez wrote. She then went on to quote Future: " 'Drake made an album that is full of hits but it doesn't grab you. They're not possessive; they don't make you feel the way I do' -- Future." After reading the story, Future's horrified managers argued with the mag that his quotes were off the record and taken out of context. We're told the online story was edited, but Ramirez didn't delete her tweets.

DAMN!!!: Ciara Gets Served With Lawsuit Papers While On Stage [Video]

Ciara's performance at LA Pride didn't quite go as expected. During the middle of her performance the singer was served with lawsuit papers.

TMZ reports that Cici was sued by the Hit Factory club in West Hollywood for allegedly pulling out of a Friday night concert there. Ciara's reps claim they told the club she could not make the performance, but they continued to promote it anyway.

The club took the opportunity to have the singer served right in the middle of her show last night. Cici took the papers from the server, looked at them and then tossed them back.

Positivity?: Future Thinks People Should Appreciate Weezy's Emmett Till Line

Atlanta rapper Future doesn't get what the fuss is about over Lil Wayne's controversial line on his song "Karate Chop." The line referred to civil rights icon Emmett Till, who was beaten to death for flirting with a white woman.

Future believes that Weezy's mentioning it brought more awareness instead of ignorance.

 He said on Big Boy's Neighborhood, "We did the song with great intentions. I never thought it was going to get so much attention. But I think, overall, with the whole situation, he did bring light, in a positive way, to what happened. Even though they might thought it was negative, he brought positive energy to the situation because a lot of people don't know, my dad didn't even know who Emmett was. He's thinking I'm talking about Emmitt Smith. He raised awareness to people who didn't even know what happened to him. After Lil Wayne brought light to it, they had to go and do their research."

New Video Alert: Rich Gang x Future “Tapout”

Shut Down: Emmett Till's Family Does Not Consider Lil Wayne's Letter An Apology

Lil Wayne's week isn't going to too well. Yesterday, before we knew he had been treated and released from the hospital for yet another seizure, the YMCMB rapper revealed a letter he wrote addressed to Emmett Till's family. Weezy acknowledges the hurt his now infamous "Beat the pu--y up like Emmett Till" lyric on Future's "Karate Chop (Remix)" caused, but the Till family, like many others, have noted that he falls short of an actual apology.

Reports TMZ:

Nowhere in the letter did Wayne say he was sorry for what he did.

Visit Now, Airickca Gordon-Taylor -- Executive Director, Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation and Till Family Representative -- tells TMZ the family does not view the letter as a formal apology.

"While it's commendable that he has vowed to respect the legacy of Emmett Till and his memory to ‘not use or reference Emmett Till or the Till family in his music,' this statement falls short of an apology, as none is mentioned."

We're reaching out to Lil Wayne for comment -- stay tuned.  It is the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation that has vowed to urge Wayne's business partners, like Mountain Dew which is a product of Pepsico, to drop the rapper if he doesn't properly apologize.

Looks like a phone call, instead of a letter, may be in order, too.

Apology Delivered: Lil Wayne Finally Apologizes To Emmett Till's Family

This took long enough. Lil Wayne has penned a letter of apology to Emmett Till's family over the use of the late 14-year-old's name in a vile lyric on his verse from Future's “Karate Chop (Remix).”

In said song, Weezy raps, “Beat the pu--y up like Emmett Till,” which angered the family and many aware of the significance of Till's death to the Civil Rights Movement.


Besides mentioning that he understands the pain the family feels since he is a father himself, the YMCMB rapper acknowledges Till's cultural significance in his letter. “I have tremendous respect for those who paved the way for the liberty and opportunities that African-Americans currently enjoy,” reads the letter. “As a business owner who employs several African-American employees and gives philanthropically to organizations that help youth to pursue their dreams my ultimate intention is to uplift rather than degrade our community.”

Wayen's formal apology comes after the family vowed to pressure Mountain Dew to drop Tunechi as a spokesman. Till's family wrote an open letter to Wayne back in February shortly after the song was first heard. In his letter, the “No Worries” rapper also vows to never perform the song. Coincidentally, or not, Mountain Dew just announced a deal with Complex Media to launch a new website.

What have we learned here? Rappers only respond to something when it can effect their pockets (see: Rick Ross)
