R&B singer Monica announced separation from her fiance, Rocko. This is the only statement that Monica will give. She asks that the media (and bloggers) respect her privacy during these trying times.

I know there were many rumors. And,I appreciate those of you who has never dug into them for the sake of both our families. I am going to rest today & go back to work tomorrow. I am going to do what I have always done. Focus on my children, my family & my career. Rock was put under a lot of harsh scrutiny during our entire relationship and I’m sure that was not easy.

However at this point our focus is being great parents. He is a great father to his children and, continuing forward, that is my only concern. With every breath in our bodies we will make sure that they feel as little pain as possible And continue to have the lives they had before with no attention dedicated to our separation. I will not be speaking on the subject further unless it is with God whom I believe does everything with reason. I love my children and their father and I’m truly grateful for those that loved and supported us through the good and the bad throughout the years.

Rumors spread today that R&B singer Monica  baby daddy and ATL local rapper Rocko, was cheating on her.

Everyone in Atlanta has heard the rumors — including Mo.

On Monday, Rapper Lil Wayne began serving a 12 month sentence for weapons possession at NY’s infamous Riker’s Island prison. With rumors of gang threats against his life weighing heavy on his mind, Wayne made the brave decision to mingle with the prison population rather than accept a cell on an isolaton ward.

Still, according to a Riker’s guard who spoke with blogger Combat Jack, Wayne has been receiving special treatment from Riker’s corrections officers, two of whom have already been written up for bending the prison’s rules for Weezy:

“…A couple of guards have been written up, only because they’ve acted like fans, having more personal interaction with Wayne than is procedure, prolly acting all star struck, which, once again, the system does it’s best to discourage… For the most part though, Wayne has been pretty quiet, staying mostly inside his jail cell. There doesn’t seem to be anyone, any faction trying to get at him in any harmful way, because he’s new and because he hasn’t violated any of the codes customary to inmate living the prison life. As I was told, it’s too early to determine how the rest of his experience will be, but so far, so good. It’s all in Lil Wayne’s hands.“

The guard also said the prison has been inundated with calls from Wayne’s camp questioning if the prison will force Wayne to cut his dreads. Prison officials say that as long as Wayne’s dreads are real (and he keeps them neat and clean) they won’t be chopped off. Hopefully, they’re real.

The NY prison system provides barbers and beauticians for the inmates to keep them looking presentable free of charge.

THIS IS WHAT WAYNE’S LIFE IS LIKE IN PRISON:

“Inmate Carter is in a category of housing that we call ‘general population/escort,’ ” a New York City Department of Corrections official tells PEOPLE. That means when he leaves the housing area (his cell or the day room), he will have a captain escorting him at all times. On an hourly basis, the rapper can decide if he wants to be locked in his cell or locked out of it – for security reasons, inmates are not allowed to freely move between their cell and the common areas.

The official shared the following details:

The Day Room

In this common area, which he shares with 19 other inmates, Lil Wayne can watch television, play cards, read the paper or just socialize. Since the day room is within the housing area, he does not have an escort here.

The Meals

Breakfast is served at 4:30 a.m. Since a number of inmates will be going to court on any given day, the morning starts early for Riker’s residents. Lunch is served at 11, dinner at 4:30 p.m.

The Clothes

Lil Wayne will wear the standard institutional clothing: Green work shirt and pants, slip-on style sneakers.

The Cell

His six-by-ten space features a steel cot connected to the wall, a mattress, a sheet, a blanket and a pillow. There’s a sink and toilet in the cell as well, plus his personal property which includes the standard cup, razor, toothbrush and soap assigned to each inmate.

Outside the Housing Area

With his escort, Lil Wayne can leave the housing area for attorney visits, regular visits (he’ll get two per week with up to three visitors), religious services or jail-offered programs such as one that helps inmates transition back into society. While some inmates have work assignments in and around the jail, he will not because, “then you’d have to send somebody off to escort him every day,” says the official.

Recreation

One hour per day. The rapper’s facility features outdoor basketball courts.

The Commissary

He can buy snacks and toiletries from his Commissary account, which friends and family can contribute to online. Reports that he’ll have an ipod are untrue, though he can purchase a battery-operated AM/FM radio and earphones to listen to music.

The King officially made his comeback yesterday with “I’m Back” and now his one-time enforcer/Rapper Alfa Mega has made his return as well.

After the highly publicized events last year of being accused of being a snitch and kicked off of the Grand Hustle label, Alfamega sends some poisonous darts Tip’s way stating :

“A lil something to let the “Queen” know the muscle ain’t shook/ If you try to respond, you gone get your crown took.”

Alfamega also responds to the alleged hit out on him and questions T.I.’s gangsta with:

“Ni%%A you ain’t hard, your persona is so fraud/ And the day you crossed me proved you ain’t that smart…

Ain’t but 3 real ni%%as still left in Pimp Squad…that’s Mac, Dro and Doug because ni##a you a broad…”

Peep the track after the jump as well as more insight into this beef!!!

“Tip you know what it is and you know what I do, I’m the muscle lil ni%%a, the one who protected you… Shawty Lo almost took yo ass out the game.”

This is actually one of the best song’s from Alfamega and it’s definitely calling for a response.

Let’s keep it on wax this time fellas. Peep the track and comment and let us know what you think on this apparently unresolved situation.

Alfamega – “Greenlight”

DMX was arrested today (March 9) in Arizona for violating the terms of his parole.

X, real name Earl Simmons, is being detained in a local county jail following his apprehension by the state’s Adult Probation department.

The troubled star in less than a year removed from a 90 plus day stint in an Arizona jail for fraud, drug, and animal cruelty charges. While in custody, he was given an additional 18 months of probation for verbally threatening a corrections officer.

DMX’s lawyer Gary Jenkins did not verify his client’s exact parole violations, but acknowledged the rapper is still suffering from well-documented drug addiction issues.

“He’s been battling addiction for some time and he’s in need of treatment,” Jenkins stated to TMZ. “We’re hoping that maybe Dr. Drew might be able to help him. He’s a talented man…we’re praying for him.”

Last week, DMX’s attempt to throw a gospel concert for Independence High School in Glendale, AZ was stopped by school officials amidst fears of violence.

At press time, DMX faces 5 unspecified counts of parole violation.

Michael Jackson bodyguards spoke on Michael’s secret life and his PLENTY of jumpoffs. Here is an excerpt:

We don’t believe he was a . . . he had the desires of women like everyone

We had a curtain which covered the backseat . And so he was either making out in the back seat or chewing gum very loud.

Listen To Trey Song Murder The Usher song “Lil Freak”  He even raps Nicki Minaj Part.

Like a Tiger Woods press conference, T.I. didn’t take any questions but he did speak to the record spinners across the country . Listen up, shawty.

New Music: T.I. “I’m Back” (produced by TrackSlayerz)

After two separate sentencing delays, New Orleans rap star Lil Wayne was officially sentenced to prison today (March 8th) in Manhattan Criminal Court.

Lil Wayne was sentenced to the prison term after the rapper admitted to possessing a loaded .40 caliber handgun that was found on his tour bus after a performance in New York in July of 2007.

The rapper was taken away in handcuffs to begin serving his time on Riker’s Island, a prison that is just emerging from a scandal over preferential treatment of certain inmates and celebrities.

In October of 2009, several prison officials resigned from the prison after it was revealed that Brooklyn rapper Foxy Brown and other inmates had been given preferential treatment while serving their time behind bars.

Lil Wayne was originally supposed to be sentenced to prison on February 9th but the date was postponed to March 2nd, because the rapper needed root canals, in addition to having his platinum “grillz” removed.

The March 2nd date was rescheduled to today (March 8th), after a fire broke out in Manhattan Criminal Court’s basement which sent eight people to the hospital.

Lil Wayne could be out in as little as eight months. He is expected to remain in protective custody during his time behind bars.

“Law is mind without reason. ……………..I’ll return,” Lil Wayne told fans on his Twitter page this morning.

Jeez! I know Wocka Flocka is crunk, but this is crazy.

Eight teenagers were straight up shot at a concert for Mr. Flocka. The police are blaming Waka’s hypeman for making two warring sides of Gary, Indiana fight each others. Waka never even hit the stage. Kids ranging from age 14 to age 18 were shot. Hmmmmmm….maybe some of them should not have been allowed to go to this event in the first place. Step your parenting game up. But person that did the shooting was outside the venue and had a rifle. Nobody was killed, thankfully.
