Celebrating whatever someone celebrates in Charlotte, N.C., Drake rolled up to a strip club recently, with $50,000 in cardboard boxes, and made it monsoon. When you started from the bottom you get to do things like that. [TMZ]

In typically random fashion, Gucci Mane changed his name to "Guwop" earlier today on Twitter, then changed it back within the hour. "I am officially NOT changing my name to Guwop it will officially stay Gucci Mane due to my Fans' response," he tweeted. Guess management wasn't feeling it. [Twitter]

Apparently Nicki Minaj wants to be taken seriously. To that end, she's fired her hairdresser and stylist. Might also want to fire the last four years of her career, her songs with David Guetta and the majority of her last album, while she's at it. [NME]

CeeLo Green has launched a fabulous Las Vegas residency, CeeLoGreen is Loberace, which opened at Planet Hollywood this past weekend. Click the link, the picture says it better than we ever could. Also, the name Loberace. Wow. [LasVegasSun]

Check out this new documentary Mongolian Bling, which should tell you everything you need to know about the increasingly popular Mongolian hip-hop scene. Crazy world. [NYT]

He spent that because without it he would be the same loser, just broke.

Hey, Drake ...do you know the same strippers who gushed all over you will spit at you when you're back to one. But if you had given it to someone who desperately needed it....they would do anything for you, if you ever needed it.

I hope you don't break your arm patting your self on the back for this one!.

Why don't you put some of that money where it will do some good, and not the wayward home for strippers! Watch your back sport, what goes around comes around, just give it some time......

\"When you started from the bottom you get to do things like that\"
But what goes unstated is: When you do things like this you ensure that you will end back at the bottom.

Such a pity....

Wish i had money to waste like that... come to think about it, if i had $50,000 wouldn't just give it to some strippers, i would give it to some homeless shelter or people who really needed it.

Drop some of that at a homeless shelter or church. So sad to read when people are hungry and homeless. Would be refreshing to see that kind of flashing. Thank God for Sandra Bullock and others like her.

I'll bet his financial advisor has a huge bankroll stashed away. That is if he even has one.

Well, as the great Chris Rock said: 'black people just aren't use to having money. It's new to them, they spend the s^*t like it's going to rot." It's a joke and when you hear Chris say it it's funny; then a story like this comes out and well, 50k at a strip club! Come on! Aphrodite could descend from mount Olympus on a golden pole wearing a golden thong and diamond hills and her divine display would only be worth about $300. 50K for mere mortals!? It’s just stupid.
