What is it with celebs and twitter beef ? This round is Lil Kim vs. Keyshia Cole


Lil' Kim and Keyshia Cole
 
So this whole fued started when Keyshia tweeted:
 
“N while we’re addressing everything, Lil Kim and I a r not ‘friends’ I take that term very seriously. We made wonderful music. That is it,”
 
Lil Kim then shot back with a series of tweets:
 
U got that right. We are not friends. The same way U take friendship seriously i take loyalty serious.
The whole world has seen me extend my hand to u over and over again.
Only someone who’s trying to build a sincere relationship does shows 4 free & supports. u did not pay me a dime 4 none of that.
That warrants some type of loyalty and respect.
Friend or no friend i would have never let anybody disrespect u on my record but i can’t expect everyone to be as real as i am.
At the end of the day karma is as real as i am and it’s coming to get u. oh wait…if it hasnt got u already…
My love & loyalty to u got u a hit, ur friendship with ur friend got u a flop.
looks like u need to choose ur friends more wisely dont u think? #teamlilkim LEGGGGOOOO
Keyshia then responded:

Kim that was a gr8 look 4 I coming out of jail just as it was a gr8 look for missy to have produced it.
all I’m saying is don’t have everyone thinking I was disloyal as a “friends” cause we were never that and u know it. No disrespect.
They both twetted back and fourth for awhile with Lil Kim saying:

Loyalty and respect has nothing to do with friendship…BOOM
Loyalty and respect is about returning a kindness. Have you ever came out and supported me at my shows? i dont think so.
Yes it was a good look for me but it was a great look for u. At the end of the day it was a hit on YOUR album.
Sticking 2 the situation. Again I would have never let anyone disrespect U on my song. That’s loyalty & respect. End of story.
Keyshia FINALLY ended it with her final statement:

I don’t have beef with anyone. I’m done. I feel the way I feel about friendship and loyalty. I ain’t never been fake. All I’m saying.

(Video Snippet) Keri Hilson performing Whitney Houston's 'I Have Nothing'

Ok, so yea this clip is short but Keri just didnt do the song justice to me. Maybe it's because im used to hearing Whitney's powerful vocals over the track. I mean Keri was not bad but I needed her to come a lil bit harder on the song.

The late 22 year old M-Bone of Cali Swag District's murder fueled by jealousy



M-Bone
 

Friends and family of Cali Swag District member Montae “M-Bone” Talbert are still getting over the shock of the rapper’s tragic death. Now details are starting to emerge on a possible motive behind his murder.

The “Teach Me How to Dougie” hitmaker was being threatened by a man who was “insanely jealous” of his success, his girlfriend tells TMZ.

M-Bone’s girlfriend, who lived with him for over a year, says an unidentified man residing in their apartment building was obsessed with Cali Swag District’s success and didn’t hide his hostility. The two engaged in a war of words on Twitter and the jealous man threatened violence against the 22-year-old.

The girlfriend, who wished to remain anonymous for her safety, picked M-Bone up from the airport at 12:15 p.m. on Sunday and took him back to their apartment. At around 10 p.m. that night, M-Bone took her car and said he was going to the recording studio.

Soon after she received a call from another member of Cali Swag with the devastating news that her boyfriend had been shot outside a liquor store in Inglewood, Calif. The police are currently investigating the drive-by shooting and no arrests have been made thus far.

(Breaking News) Cali Swag District rapper M-Bone killed in drive-by shooting


M-Bone
 

Cali Swag District has experienced a series of highs with their ubiquitous single “Teach Me How to Dougie,” but the group lost one of its own on Sunday. M-Bone, one-fourth of the Los Angeles-based quartet, was the victim of a drive-by shooting.

The 22-year-old rapper, born Montae Talbert, was fatally shot next to his car outside a liquor store at 11:32 p.m. in Inglewood, Calif. The shooting appears to be a random act of violence, law enforcement officials tell TMZ.

The shooter was reportedly driving down La Brea Avenue in a red Mustang when he opened fire. The vehicle left the scene, but later returned, almost as if to make sure the victim was dead. After being fired at twice from close range, he was taken to UCLA Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

“Ma life changed drastically in the. Blink of an eye rip mbone,” tweeted his fellow member Smoove Da General. “I’m crushed…jus seen Ma Ni**a on the news…idk wat to think or say…I’m hurting man real talk.”

Inglewood detectives are investigating, but it appears that M-Bone was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
