Bow Wow Lawsuit: Rapper Ordered Pay to Limo Company Nearly $4K

Compared to the $90,000 he spent earlier this year to settle a lawsuit stemming from an unpaid tour bus bill, this is pocket change, but even so, Bow Wow can't be happy about the nearly $4,000 he's just been ordered to pay a limo company.

As TMZ reports, the rapper and actor failed to show up for a recent court date in Georgia, prompting a default judgment in favor of the chauffeur company he'd supposedly stiffed. The 25-year-old "Sweat" MC must now fork over $3,594.87.

Nas, 'Daughters' Video: Rapper's Real-Life Daughter Stars in Heartfelt Clip

Under the best of circumstances, raising a daughter ain't easy, but when you're a famous rapper with a demanding career and a reputation for player behavior, it's ten times harder. Such is the dilemma facing Nas, but if nothing else, he got a great song -- and now a great video -- out of it.

In the newly released "Daughters" clip, which features a cameo from Nas' real-life little girl, Destiny Jones, the Queensbridge rhymer struggles with watching his "princess" grow up. We see her go from infancy to early adulthood -- with a scandalous Twitter episode in between -- and in the final seconds, Nas disappears in the rearview mirror as the young woman drives off in her car.

The track comes from Nas' 10th album, Life is Good, due out July 17.

Mary J. Blige, Charity Lawsuit: Singer's Foundation Sued for Failing to Repay $250K Loan

jpistudios.com

Mary J. Blige's charity is being sued by TD Bank for failure to repay a $250,000 loan, TMZ reports. As per the gossip site, Blige's foundation borrowed the quarter-mil back in June 2011 and has thus far only returned $368.33.

While the Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now had promised to fork over the full sum by December 2011, they missed the deadline, prompting a pair of written demands earlier this year.

As a rep for the R&B singer tells TMZ, there's a perfectly good explanation: The foundation is "presently transitioning its management and headquarters."

Beyonce Sings of Pleasure and Pain During Revel Comeback Concert

Beyonce is incomparable in her performance abilities and she drove that point home Friday night (May 24) at Revel Ovation Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. The songstress returned to the stage for a two-hour set commencing at 10PM, bouncing back gracefully less than five months after giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

The first of four concerts over Memorial Day weekend to celebrate the opening of the $2.4 billion Revel Resort & Casino, Beyonce kicked off the night with the driving force of "End of Time," a track off her fourth studio LP 4. The Houston native glowed in a champagne-colored fringe ensemble paired with neon-pink heels. Her presence onstage was electrifying as she flirted with the audience, danced with choreographed vigor and equally touched on pleasure and pain through her lyrics.

After failing to appear in court earlier this week and answer to charges he's fallen behind on child support payments, rapper and reality TV star Flavor Flav faces 180 days in jail, TMZ reports.

The Public Enemy legend reportedly owes $111,186 to Albany, N.Y., resident Angie Parker, who gave birth to three of his children. Flav has a total of seven kids, and in 2009, another of his baby mamas, Karen Ross-Fortunate, made similar claims, telling the press that she'd been shortchanged on support payments.

Flav, whose real name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr., is under court orders to pay Parker $837.72 per week. When he didn't show up earlier this week, a judge recommended taking away his driver's license and throwing him in the slammer for 180 days.

'Watch the Throne' Sequel: Jay-Z and Kanye West Plotting Another Album, Producer Says

Who's ready for "N----s in Paris II" or a second helping of "H.A.M.?" As the NME reports, producer Mike Dean recently told Quiet Lunch that Jay-Z and Kanye West are plotting a sequel to their Watch the Throne collaborative album.

Dean is well positioned to have the inside scoop. He worked on the Kanye albums Graduation and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, as well as the original Throne. At the moment, he's putting the finishing touches on Cruel Summer, the much-anticipated posse album from Yeezy's G.O.O.D. Music label.

"I'm working on the G.O.O.D. Music album, of course and 'Watch The Throne 2' -- it's not started yet, but it's coming," Dean said.

Pusha T, 'Exodus 23:1': MC Discusses Rumored Drake Diss, Calls The-Dream His 'Teacher'

In an interview with MTV, Pusha T discussed his new track "Exodus 23:1," which was produced by RicoBeats, and features hit-making crooner The-Dream.

"It really started with this beat [from] Rico. We were like, 'Yo, Dream would just sound amazing on the record, period.' So we sent it out and it came back so quick. Dream was like, 'Man this is one of the ones,'" Pusha explained. "Personally, I never thought the record was going to come back that quickly. I was in New Orleans somewhere and Rico was like, 'Aye! Dream did it -- he on the phone!' I thought, 'OK, wait a minute this might really be something.'"

Though Pusha did not reveal whether the song is, as many have surmised, a diss aimed at Young Money rapper Drake, he did praise Dream's musicality, claiming he's learned "so much about song structure" from the singer/producer.
