50 talks about his mentors, and opines on Nicki Minaj’s greatest asset.

in a recent interview on “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” on radio station Power 106, 50 Cent discussed a gamut of topics, including the other two parts of Aftermath’s “three-headed-monster,” Eminem and Dr. Dre.

“You don’t really expect to have someone come into your life… that you know has nothing but good intentions,” said 50 of Eminem. “He made so much money selling records that he don’t really have interest in a lot of the other stuff… So for me, they’ll be asking me questions…about the deals I do away from music. For Dre, the big thing was the ‘Beats,’ the headset.”

50 also touched on Dr. Dre, with whom he had a brief spat about becoming a potential competitor with Dre’s headphone line. “I love Dre…Without ‘In Da Club’ and Dre’s guidance on the first record…none of those other things would’ve happened!” explained Fif. “That’s the biggest record of my career still! Dre can be difficult at times, and not intentionally. He can be on his own and in his world…like the [headphone thing], we had to clear that up face-to-face, me and Dre, personally.” 50 stopped short of saying he was surprised that he was not included in the “Beats by Dre” headset line, but he did point out that Diddy was given an opportunity to get involved, which may appear odd as he is outside of the Aftermath family.

The Queens emcee was also asked about Nicki Minaj’s ass, and whether it was the real deal. “I don’t know. Does it matter?” he asked, before opining that many in the industry were guilty of getting butt implants.

A video shoot featuring Chris Brown and Compton rapper Game turned violent on Tuesday (June 28th) in Los Angeles, California.

Miami rapper Trina is hitting back at reports that suggested she is pregnant with boyfriend Kenyon Martin’s child.

Pictures of Trina performing in Detroit hit the Internet yesterday (June 29th), and show the rapper carrying what looks to be a few extra pounds.

Trina took to her Twitter page earlier this morning to blast the media for spreading rumors and stories that were not true.

While the pregnancy was reported as a fact, Trina denounced the inaccurate reports.

“STOP it with the f**king rumors enuff already!! I am NOT pregnant,” Trina snapped. Why do people believe anything they hear!!! F**k outta here.

Trina, who originally wanted to adopt a baby from Haiti after an earthquake ravaged the tiny island nation in January of 2010, blamed the pregnancy rumors on her weight gain.

“Can’t please everyone,” Trina said. “If I lose weight it’s something “dammn u done got too small and lost ya a$$’ if I gain weight it’s ‘I’m pregnant.’”

According to train up, she’s very comfortable with her looks and her weight.

“Every woman is NOT suppose to look like a dammn broomstick” Trina reasoned. “I’m very comfortable in my own skin with all my curves and assists!”

Model Amber Rose has spoken out against graphically nude pictures that landed on the Internet yesterday (June 29).

Several pictures of Amber Rose naked and masturbating were released to the net yesterday afternoon.

The embarrassing pictures featured a nude Amber Rose in several compromising positions and are even more graphic than the ones released in asked.

According to Amber, her and her boyfriend, superstar rapper Wiz Khalifa, knew that the pictures would be hitting the Internet.

According to her Amber Rose, the pictures were stolen off of her personal laptop from a former assistant.

“I was gonna wait until my radio show to address this but I want to say this now,” Amber Rose tweeted. “I trusted someone that worked 4 me & allowed them to use my laptop a million times, I caught this person sending my pics to themselves and I fired this person immediately Wiz & I & both of our families have known about this for 2 months now. We tried to prepare ourselves for this day.”

Amber Rose said that the pictures in question are over 2 1/2 years old, and that she extremely hurt by the leaked photos.

In February, several other, less graphic pictures of Amber Rose were released.

But the latest batch of pictures mortified her.

“I’m really hurt & embarr#!@%*#ed because I have so many young girls that look up to me. I would never put those pics out of myself.”

According to her last week, the pictures are so controversial that she’s already losing modeling jobs.

“The company that I was working with no longer wants to work with me because of these pics and that prevents me from getting money to take care of my family,” Amber Rose tweeted. “Its a messed up situation when someone so evil comes into ur life and tries to destroy it. I know I’m not the only girl in the world that has taken pics like that but they were very private.”

As of press time, her boyfriend Wiz Khalifa has not commented on the salacious pictures.

Screwed Up Records and Tapes, the iconic record store in Houston, Texas that helped start a Hip-Hop revolution from a production standpoint, is in danger of being evicted from its current location.

The Houston Press reports that the record store DJ Screw founded is being evicted, so that the current owner of the building can expand his dental practice.

The owners of Screwed Up Records and Tapes offered their landlord $100,000 to purchase the tiny building, but their offer was rebuffed.

Screwed Up Records and Tapes was founded and launched by DJ Screw in 1998 to sell his unique style of mixtapes, which introduced the world to the “chopped and screwed” style of production.

Additionally, the “Screwed Up Click,” consisted of Houston rappers like Lil Flip, Z–Ro, Trae the Truth, Lil’ Keke, Fat Pat, Big Hawk, Big Pokey, Botany Boyz, Big Moe, UGK and others.

Tragically DJ Screw, born Robert Earl Davis Jr., died from a heart attack from a codeine overdose on November 16th, 2000.

“There’s still a world of possibility in the social media space for new records as services emerge and existing ones increase their penetration,” Barrett told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “There are a few landmark figures which will surely be passed in the next few years, who will be the first Twitter user to amass 100 million followers? Which Facebook page will be the first to reach 100 million likes? Whoever it is, you can be sure that Guinness World Records will be there to recognise all of these milestone achievements.”
