Soulja Boy Says Chris Brown Won't Sign Fight Contract
According to Soulja Boy, Chris Brown is afraid to fight.
Some have dubbed the upcoming, highly anticipated boxing match between Soulja Boy and Chris Brown as the Fight of the Millenium. But according to a series of tweets Soulja Boy dispatched Sundaay afternoon, there is a troubling new development: Brown has refused to sign the contract.
“Can’t believe this nigga scared to fight me sign the contract Bitch Ass nigga set up the boxing match,” Soulja wrote. "I caught two fades in the streets since this whole beef shit and I won both fights I guess Chris must heard and got scared lol come on boy. Nigga talked all that Shit just to back down and not sign the paper work. Not about that life. No action. Don't wanna hear about this ever."
He continued: "Now we all know Chris a Bitch don't bring this shit up to me ever again. He ain't wanna see these hands. Facts. Obviously he don't wanna fight, so I'm gonna leave him alone. Beef over just tell him don't call my phone over a girl. That was 2nd time."

Given Brown's athletic dancing style and ability to dunk a basketball, it is a commonly held view that Soulja Boy is the underdog in this fight. It would then follow that Soulja Boy is only claiming that Brown won't sign the contract to back out of the fight himself without losing face.
"I couldn't wait to knock that nigga out now about y'all tweet him and ask why he bitched out?" Soulja concluded. "I'm back to the studio. With yo bitch."
Can't believe this nigga scared to fight me sign the contract Bitch Ass nigga set up the boxing match ππππ€
Soulja Boy Fires Floyd Mayweather, Hires Evander Holyfield To Coach Him
Soulja Boy thanks Floyd Mayweather, Jr. for his services and convinces Evander Holyfield to coach him for his upcoming boxing match instead.
In the latest episode of the gripping saga involving Soulja Boy and Chris Brown, the Mississippi rapper fired his coach, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. to hire another former boxing champ, Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield to train him. Big Soulja and C-Breezy are set to clash at an upcoming celebrity boxing match sometime in March, possibly in Dubai.
TMZ reports that the Draco rapper got help from the fight promoter, Wack 100, to convince Holyfield to coach him. The rapper felt that Mayweather was too busy with other things -- possibly the rumored fight with Conor McGregor. Wack 100 hooked up the two and Soulja told the boxing great he was serious about "knocking out" Brown. The retired puncher replied he should train more and talk less but said he could get him in top shape for the fight. The identity of Holyfield's one-time nemesis -- Mike Tyson who's training Chris Brown -- didn't come up during the initial conversation.
The off-duty cop whom The Game punched and threatened during a basketball game is now seeking a lot of money.
Although The Game turned himself in over the punch he threw at an off-duty cop during a March basketball game, it looks like things are far from over.The West Coast rapper was booked earlier this week and already posted his bail of $50,000-- but the cop he punched wants him to shell out a lot more.
The off-duty cop, name Onyebuchi Awaji, filed a $12 million lawsuit against the rapper. Does that sound about right? As we first reported, The Game got into a fight with Awaji during a Pro-Am basketball game in L.A., and the heated argument led to The Game punching the fellow player and threatening to kill him.
Awaji is now seeking a big pay day to help remedy his sufferings (physical, emotional, and financial). According to court documents, the breakdown is as follows:
Pain and suffering: $1,000,000 Emotional distress: $1,000,000 Medical expenses (to date): $50,000 Medical expenses (future): $100,000 Punitive damages: $10 million
The lawsuit was actually filed in April (a month after the incident), but Game has yet to respond. The rapper is currently awaiting trail.
Not So Fast: Floyd Mayweather Shuts Down Manny Pacquiao Fight Rumors With Instagram Post
Image via Instagram
While the world throws itself into a frenzy thinking we were finally going to see the fight that we should have seen four or five years ago, Floyd Mayweather is chilling on a beach somewhere being the biggest buzzkill ever.
Yesterday, TMZ reported that Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao had settled on a May 2 fight date at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas after running in to each other at a recent Miami Heat game. Unfortunately, Mayweather shot down any existing excitement that had begun to fester in the boxing world with an Instagram post today. Using a picture of himself laying in a hammock with the ocean in the background, Mayweather writes:
Laying back, relaxing, enjoying good weather, palm trees and pina coladas. While they continue to lie about making the fight...I'm going to continue to travel and explore the world on my private jet. #FightNotMadeYet
What was once considered to be the most exciting potential matchup in boxing in over a decade has officially turned into a mundane dog and pony show.
No Showdown? Floyd Mayweather's Strength & Conditioning Coach Says Fight With Manny Pacquiao Won't Happen Because Of Bob Arum! (Floyd Co-Signs Via Twitter)
Floyd Mayweather's strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza did an interview with Fight Hype and said that, while Mayweather will be fighting on May 2, the fight won't be against Manny Pacquiao. He also said that Pacquiao's manager Bob Arum is the reason Mayweather/Pacquiao isn't going to happen. "We're fighting May 2," he said, "but it's not going to be Manny Pacquiao. As soon as we get rid of him [Arum], we can get it on." Ariza obviously doesn't have the final say when it comes to who Mayweather does and doesn't fight, but his comments are interesting because Mayweather took to Twitter last night to co-sign everything that Ariza said!
August Alsina Gets Into Fight Backstage At Anti-Violence Concert
August Alsina gets into a fight during a show in St. Louis over the weekend.
We've seen August Alsina lash out when he thinks necessary in the past, and this past weekend while performing in St. Louis, August got into a bit of a scuffle backstage with the show promoters.
Unfortunately, the fight went down at an event that was promoting non-violence-- proceeds from the show went towards the 'Put down the Pistol' program. The show was called 'State Of Emergency 2' and went down at the Chaifetz Arena on Saturday night.
A fight broke out between the show's promoter Loose Cannon Slim and Alsina, reportedly because Slim was upset that Alsina showed up late. What started off as an exchange of words soon became an exchange of fists.
There's some video footage of went down below. Fabolous was also in attendance, but he stayed clear of fighting.
HNHH gives you an overview of the biggest hip-hop beefs of the year 2014.
With the rise of social media, we can only wonder if artists would have the balls to say the things they say via Instagram and/or Twitter in real ass life. The social media age has made it all too easy for artists and the average person alike to throw shade whenever they please, and then, when things get a bit rough, hit 'delete.' Fortunately, most of the time, we catch it. Hey, it's entertaining for us, and distracts us from our mediocre lives. That being said, many of the beefs or feuds in the hip-hop industry take place without actual confrontation, via this great outlet called the internet. However, there are still a few traditional brawls, that involve actual physical hits. What's worse than stealing your girl? Stealing your chain of course.
Today we're breaking down the Top Beefs Of 2014, 16 to be exact. From Chris Brown's relationship problems, to Quavo of Migos' chain getting snatched, and T.I. swinging at Floyd Mayweather, here's the year in review.
Artists stealing other artists' girls seem to be an ongoing trend in the hip-hop industry. In fact, for many, it might just be the ultimate hit. It's one thing when your girl flirts with someone, but worse when it's with a man that every girl swoons over. While Tyga and Drake's 'subliminal' beef began when T-Raww aired out his true feelings on YMCMB and the Toronto counterpart in particular, saying he didn't "get along" with him. ""I don’t like Drake as a person. He’s just fake to me. I like his music; you know what I’m saying? I think his music is good, but we’re all different people. We were forced together and it was kinda’ like we were forcing relationships together. It is what it is," he said.
Things didn't stop there. Although nothing got too confrontational, shots were thrown. Tyga was not thrilled after Drake flirted with his baby mama Blac Chyna via social media. In retaliation, Tyga casts Drake's ex-girlfriend, Dollicia Bryan, as his main chick in his "Make It Work" music video. To make matters worse, a photo surfaced of Tyga grabbing Bryan's ass.
This title could simply read "Quavo vs. Capo," but it's actually not the quite simple. Quavo, a member of Migos, and Capo from Glory Boyz Entertainment,Chief Keef's rap group from Chicago, could be the source of this beef however it's altogether not that clear. There was tension brewing between the two parties for some time, and so when a scuffle with Capo and Migos went down in Chicago, things were intensified. Fredo Santana took things up a notch when he sent out death threats to Migos on twitter. Then, Migos was allegedly jumped at a show in Washington, D.C. This lead to a brawl, and Quavo's chain got snatched. The presumption was that it was a GBE member responsible for the chain snatching, and validation came when Chief Keef posted a photo of this chain to his Instagram page. The photo was quickly deleted, and a separate party (DC group The Legg Team) ended up taking responsibility for the chain snatching, while Quavo addressed everything on his song "Tha Truth." Nonetheless, things came full circle when the two crews resolved their issues recently and put the past in the past, joining forces, for at least one moment, as 'Miglo.'
Not too many people would be down to go up against a professional boxer, especially Floyd Mayweather. Floyd is not only defeated, but one of the most feared and well-respected in the game. If this was a non-physical fight, T.I. might stand a chance. Things got heated at a Fatburger in Las Vegas early one morning. Apparently, Mayweather was passively eating at the burger joint when T.I. approached him and starting "jawing" at him. An all-out brawl breaks out as T.I. allegedly throws a punch. Bodyguards who tried to intervene were unsuccessful as police eventually showed up. By then, T.I. had already fled the scene.
Floyd Mayweather later recounted the incident in great detail, blaming it on a picture Tip's wife Tiny posted on Instagram of her and Mayweather, "[T.I] came to me when I was in New York. He stepped to me when I was at the jewelery store like, 'Yo, let’s go outside and talk.' We went outside to talk, but he talked about, basically, 'These girls tryna play us against each other.' I said, 'I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re talking about your wife?' I never put up a picture of her on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. I was basically like, 'Listen. I’m letting you know I ain’t got…me and your wife don’t have nothing…if you think so,'" he told Necole Bitchie.
Trouble in the family, fighting with the in-laws isn't the most uncommon thing. However, when it involves Jay Z and Beyonce, things get a little more interesting. Footage was released of Beyonce's little sister, Solange, kicking and hitting Jay in an elevator at the Standard hotel in New York City. An angry Solange could not control her temper as the screaming turned into physical blows. Jay Z kept his composure and did not retaliate in any way. Anonymous sources report that Solange's friends tried to crash the party saying they were friends of HOV, which lead to him alerting Solange, "Don't use my name." There's various other rumors on what sparked the infamous elevator fight. When the dust settled, the family released a joint statement saying:
As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it.
Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.
The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. At the end of the day families have problems and we're no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We've put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.
What's worse than new beef arising, is ongoing beef that never gets resolved. Suge Knight proceeded to threaten Rick Ross by stating, "I’m gonna beat the dog shit out of you" (end quote). Although the Death Row rapper is known to talk crazy from time to time, this is a little excessive. In the past, Suge had a problem with Rick Ross recording a verse on the track "Tupac Back." This time around, Suge attacked Ross' physical image by mocking his beard. The best/worst part is that this threat took place in an interview only moments after Suge claimed that children need more positive role models.
Rozay responded in an odd fashion, perhaps pointing out Suge's hypocrisy, with the following Instagram post: "Ran into Suge Lastweek and he showed Alot of Luv!!!Said "MMG them Niggaz" #Mastermind." (and of course there was a Mastermind hashtag to cap it off).
What better way to ring in the New Year. In January of 2014, Kanye lost his temper and allegedly assaulted a man in Beverly Hills, CA. Upon wife-ingKim Kardashian, we expected a nicer, calmer Kanye West, which has pretty much happened. However, this 18-year old bystander was not so innocent himself. The story goes: Kim was swarmed by paparazzi outside her chiropractor's office, per usual. The young man kindly holds the door open for her, commenting, "Fuck these fa**ot-ass n****rs," referring to the photographers. Kim was unappreciative as she replied by saying it was not appropriate to use the "n" word. This set him off, as he screamed, "Fuck you bitch. Just trying to help you. Shut up n****r lover, stupid slut." When Mr. West arrived on the scene and found out, he took matters into his own hand, punching the man in the face.
It looks like Chris Brown can't resist taking his relationship problems public. Letting his anger get a hold of him, the R&B singer slammed his on-and-off girlfriend Karrueche Tran for the world to see. Accusations were made that she had gone on dates with Drake, and visited him only once in the four months he was in jail. At the Cali Christmas, the Power 106 concert at The Forum in Inglewood, CA, Breezy announced he was single along with the statement "Fuck that bitch." After cooling down, he took to Instagram to apology for his behavior towards Karrueche. The caption is a bit lengthy, you can read it here.
There's about to be a what! GIRL FIGHT! Wait, does social media count? These days, it looks like the answer is yes. Nothing is more catty than a girl fight, especially among two very opinionated R&B artists. Lil Kim has beefed with female artists in the past, but this time, the target was K. Michelle. It all started when Lil Kim told Power 105.1's Breakfast Club that she did not ask K. Michelle to be the godmother of her first child, Royal Reign, and that the two were not even close friends. Consequently, K. Michelle went on the show, stating Lil Kim did ask her, calling Kim "Plastic Penny." Kim then retaliated by going on quite the Instagram rant against K. Michelle, which found her hurling the following names at K. Michelle: "insecure pathological lying sick psycho bitch," "a Looney Tune," a "nobody ass Prozac popping bipolar bitch," a "peasant," and a "crazy person."
Of course you knew you'd see Azealia Banks on this list, ever the fight starter. Banks has earned a reputation for coming at just about everyone on social media, and 2014 proved no different. Azealia Banks showed love for her homegirl Lana Del Rey by defending her after Eminem dissed her on wax. In the SHADY CXVPHER Em rapped, "I’ll punch Lana Del Rey right in the face twice like Ray Rice." This is offensive on two levels, threatening the female singer and making light of Ray Rice's assault on his fiance. Banks tweeted, "@LanaDelRey but does eminem know that I will personally punch him in his mouth?!" Surprise, surprise, the post has since been deleted. She then proceeded to rag on Em for being raised in a trailer park, telling Lana to tell Em he should "eat his microwave hotpocket dinner and suck on his sisters tiddies."
It's hard to look innocent after calling someone a "fat bitch" for the world to see. Troy Ave did just that via his Twitter page, presumably referring to the new OVO signee after Makonnen called all the "Tuesday" remixes trash (obviously Troy had just dropped one). A month later, iLoveMakkonen was attacked on stage during a performance in New York. The "Tuesday" rapper took a punch from a member of the audience, and posted the footage to his Twitter. Troy Ave spoke with Hot 97 to deny any claims that he was involved in this phenomenon. In response to his tweet, Troy claimed it was just "Twitter stuff," and that everything is overhyped now.
It seems like in today's society, acronyms have taken over. There's pretty much a shorthand for all popular sayings. So what happens when two acronyms overlap? Beef. Duh. The Rozay and Timbaland light beef began brewing when Timbo played a better, Tink-featured version of "Movin Bass" on The Breakfast Club. Rick Ross then expressed his disappointment in the producer for doing this. Following this incident, Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group label called out Timbaland's Mosley Music Group for copying them, tweeting "does Timbaland wanna be us?." Who will win?
Leaks of new music in the hip-hop industry can be a good or bad thing. It can also be intentional or accidental. In this case, it was intentional on the producer's half, but the rapper, not so much. Kid Cudi lashed out on Chuck Inglish soon after Inglish leaked a song Cudder and King Chip had recorded way back when. The track called “Chillen While We Sippin" was recorded in 2010. After Chuck let go the previously unreleased song, Cudi showed his outrage via Twitter. He calls Chuck a "Hoe azz Nigga" and "thirsty," and even said he's getting a lawyer.
I dont condone the recent leak. I dont honor it or the two hoe ass niggaz involved in the production. The vocals were stolen from me.
A$AP Rocky had the fashion world up in arms when he sent a slight towards the ultra-hip Been Trill brand, which he happened to make so hip. The hit might be extra insulting as Rocky is known as the "fashion killa." On Rocky's new single "Multiply" he rapped,“I ain’t really fuckin’ with that BEEN TRILL, swear that shit is booty like Tip Drill," and he also directed one at another too-trendy brand, HBA, with, "HBA shit is weak, you can keep that." The co-founder of the clothing brand, Heron, fired back by making t-shirts with a shot from the "Multiply" music video, where you see the BEEN TRILL logo crossed out (view above), in addition to offering a lengthy Instagram response.
Support for fellow artists is prevalent in the music industry. It shows humility and respect for real talent, rather than a mere competition, and it is most definitely expected between crew members. Meek publicized his frustration when Wale failed to tweet anything about the MMG rapper's new album (which has sense been delayed). After announcing a release date for his album Dreams Worth More Than Money, the project was heavily promoted by him and his MMG family- minus Wale. Meek initially lashed out on twitter, saying, "Wale just ain't gone tweet a thing about my album.... He's been hating on me long time now ...don't even text me cornball! #UNOTMMG," as well as, "When u young and successful..U experience a different type of racism.and it brings jealousy,hate & a new level of people tryna bring u down." Wale replied in a very long Instagram post (obviously) explaining himself and the small feud was resolved rather quickly. Rick Ross later spoke about being the intermediary, "It’s a misunderstanding. As soon as the tweets went out, I spoke to both of them on the phone. Those two guys, they’re brothers. At the end of the day, they’re brothers and it’s time to turn up right now. It’s time for all of us to turn up and stay turned up, you know what I mean? But it’s all love between those two and everybody knows that," he said.
August Alsina gained a lot of popularity after he recruited Trey Songz andChris Brown for the remix to his hit single "I Luv This Shit." When it surfaced that Trey and August were beefing, fans were left surprised and confused. Apparently Trey reached out initially about the track, but then something turned sour between the two. When talking to Rap-Up, August stated, "I don’t really fuck with Trey right now. We don’t get along right now. We ain’t on the same page. He did some other shit and we just don’t rock." Although no real explanation was given, he hinted at Trey being fake. While Trey remained quiet on the matter, he eventually responded, calling what had happened between the two R&B singers a "discrepancy." Apparently, they just didn't see eye to eye, but later in the year they got back on good terms, although not before Alsina made an infamous appearance on 106 & Park refusing to discuss the issue.
Things got spicy as Lil Durk dissed Tyga in his remix to Nicki Minaj and Lil Herb's "Chi-Raq" track. The Chi-town rapper didn't just wait for the remix to come out, but previewed a snippet of the track with a selfie video on his Instagram page. The line goes, "Tyga only got one name but that nigga ain’t got one stripe." In an interview with XXL Magazine, Durk revealed it all started when Tyga asked him to change a line he had about Blac Chyna, Tyga's ex-girlfriend. Durk was willing only in exchange for a collaboration, in which Tyga initially agreed. When the time came for a collabo, he reached out to Tyga, who apparently dodged Durk's texts. Tyga then recruited The Game for a "Chiraq to LA" diss track, thus extending the beef to The Game as well. After deciding to not respond to the track, he couldn't help himself but release some pent up emotion via Twitter.
From a poor, starving teen fighting to support his family, to a Congressman and champion of the people who strives to improve the lives of those who need it most, MANNY is the intensely personal exploration of Filipino boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao, the greatest pound for pound champion of all time.
