Soulja Boy is at it again

Soulja Boy is quickly becoming one of the most controversial artist of his time. But for all the wrong reasons. Check out this video of him running his mouth about how Nas killed hip-hop:

Now I've previously defended this dude. I respect his hustle and he created a freakin dance craze. But when you start talking wreckless about the pioneers thats just not hot.

New York City turns down Diddy + he and Ciroc want to pay your cab fare

Diddy reportedly offered the city of New York $1 million to take over Times Square Garden and turn it into a blue Winter Wonderland for New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately for him, they were not trying to have it.
X

I’m surprised he only offered $1 million for essentially renting out Madison Square Garden, but then again we are in a recession. Lol.
X
X
It clearly did not damp his Holiday cheer because NY Daily News is reporting that Diddy and Ciroc are offering free cab rides on New Year’s Eve.
X
“New York is the world’s most iconic New Year’s Eve city, so let’s lead by example and show everyone that a sophisticated holiday celebration doesn’t just end when the ball drops, but when everyone gets home safely,” Combs said.Thousands of $15 debit cards that can be redeemed for single taxi rides will be handed out by Ciroc street teams in Times Square and in Chelsea beginning at 11 p.m. Wednesday night.
X
The cards will be doled out until 3 a.m. New Year’s Day, or until the supply runs out.
X
X
While this is a great notion, I think a few people will have a problem with Diddy encouraging people to get plastered. But I guess he means well....

X
As we reported, actor Lance Gross proposed to Eva Marcille Pigford in front of their families on Christmas Eve. Now Essence.com has gotten their reactions:
X
“I knew the day I laid eyes on her because I just got that feeling,” says Gross who said he fell in love with Marcille instantly. “She took full control of my heart and is the only woman that has ever made me feel that way—that’s how I knew she was special.”
X
Surrounded by family and friends, Gross got on bended knee and presented Marcille with a 3.36 1895 Pave Cartier ring.
X
“I cried. It was totally unexpected. I’m still in shock,” says Marcille. “I could not even sleep because I was afraid that I might wake up from the most beautiful dream ever.”
X
The two haven’t set a wedding date but are strongly considering a summer wedding in 2010.“To put it simply, he makes me a better me,” says Marcille.” I am now complete.”
X
