You Know Ain't Norhing To Talk About When We Start Talking Bout Ed Lover But...

Ed beat an assault case brought by a woman who says he cold cocked her and left her face permanently scarred. Lover, 43, was sentenced in Manhattan to seven days' community service for the December 2005 confrontation at Duvet on West 21st Street. In pleading guilty to a violation, Lover, a morning DJ on Power 105.1, did not admit punching the woman as originally charged, and will not have a criminal record. The plea left victim Letitia Belford, 28, from Middlesex County, dumbfounded and furious at prosecutors. Belford said she had eyewitnesses ready to testify that Lover - real name James Roberts - cold-cocked her out of nowhere as she argued at the club with Lover's gal pal. But prosecutors knew Lover had his own friends ready to testify that Lover punched her in self-defense after she threatened him with a glass - which she adamantly denies.

T.I. Incriminates Himself in Latest Interview

Before he went to jail for illeagally trying to purchase a bunch of semi-automatic weapons and silencers, T.I. did an Interview with Complex Magazine.

Complex: Have you seen [Ludacris’s manager] Chaka Zulu since you had an altercation with him back in June?"

T.I.: I've seen him, but I didn't speak to him. That situation was whatever. If you come out your face and say something, then you can expect me to go off. You should watch your mouth. I think my manager spoke to him. I got a great life and wonderful children, and I do intend to be here to guide them for the rest of their lives, and that’s what’s most important to me. Maybe when I was 18 or 19 runnin’ the streets and shootin’ pistols, but I’m not gonna blow that for one of these cats who don’t happen to live by the same principles as me."

Kandi Burruss Broke Up Xscape Messing Around With Jermaine Dupri

The Internet is buzzing right now because Jermaine Dupri has a new book out called Young, Rich and Dangerous: The Making of a Music Mogul.

In the book Jermaine Durpi blames the singing group Xscape's break-up on them being difficult. Well, former Xscape member Tamika Scott-Byas went on Hot 97 and told Miss Jones that the real reason Xscape broke up is because Kandi Burruss was f**king Jermaine Durpri [and his father] and tried to pull a Diana Ross / Berry Gordy move on them.

Which reminded me about the time I heard about how Kandi had friction in the studio with Destiny's Child when she co-wrote Bills, Bills, Bills, because she might have been messing with LeToya Luckett's man or something like that.

Just to be safe better cuff your man around Kandi, ladies.
