Love & Hip Hop's Hazel E Talks Having Miscarriage While Dating Katt Williams, Yung Berg Being A Fraud & More


Initially, Hazel E made her mark in Los Angeles as the go to girl for PR before deciding to put a cast together for Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood. Although, she says she doesn't get the credit she deserves, she decided to leave the show after she felt like it wasn't a positive light for her to be in.

Once the show premiered, Hazel was caught in a love triangle with Yung Berg and Masika Kalysha, which seemed to have portrayed her as a needy lover, which she says was purposely edited that way for her storyline. However, when season 2 aired, Hazel was on a new level and on a new path. While fans buzzed about her private relationship with comedian Katt Williams, she decided to keep her romance away from VH1 cameras, even though she said she endured a heartbroken miscarriage with the comic. "Last season—I guess with efforts of being honest because it's something that I never admitted to—I was pregnant, and it got tricky for me. I ended the season with being pregnant, I ended up having a miscarriage," she said.

She explained that she was with Williams at the time, who didn't handle the news too well. "It was actually very hard because we had to separate. He handled it a little bit different than I did." She said, "He was a little disappointed, and I kind of needed a friend."

Boxing: Adrien Broner Calls Out Floyd Mayweather After Beating Ashley Theophane, Floyd Just Laughs At Him


RadioOnFire.com - Adrien Broner had a pretty easy night in the ring last night against Ashley Theophane, who happens to be one of Floyd Mayweather’s boxers. The confidence of the win must have went to his head though because he thought he was worthy enough to call out Floyd after the fight. The champ did what we all did while Broner was running his mouth, he just laughed.


These two have been trading verbal jabs recently, but trust me, Broner doesn’t want to trade real jabs, even if he thinks he does. Floyd was upset with Broner for acting a fool, throwing money in wal-mart. Broner didn’t appreciated the criticism, which led him to question who Floyd really is.
It didn’t take long before Floyd reminded him that one of his cars cost more than whatever Broner has earned in his career.
“We know he ain’t never seen eight figures or nine figures,” Mayweather said. “He has barely ever seen seven figures. It could be safe to say that one of my cars cost more than he made his whole career.”
This fight will never happen but that is a good thing for Broner. He just doesn’t realize it now because he is too busy trying to draw attention to himself.

Adrien Broner Misses Weight. Gets Stripped Of WBA Title Ahead Of Fight With Ashley Theophane


(ESPN) As if Adrien Broner didn't have enough problems, he added one more to the list when he failed to make weight Thursday afternoon and was stripped of his junior welterweight world title.


Broner, who won the 140-pound belt by 12th-round knockout of Khabib Allakhverdiev in October, was due to defend it for the first time against England's Ashley Theophane in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions card on Friday (Spike, 9 p.m. ET) at the DC Armory in Washington, D.C.
While Theophane was right on the division limit of 140 pounds, Broner was 140.4 pounds. He had two hours to lose the extra 0.4 pounds, but he never returned to the scale in an attempt to make weight.
The fight will still go on with Theophane able to win the vacant title. If Broner wins, the title will remain vacant.
In order for the fight to go forward, the Broner and Theophane camps made a deal under which Broner (31-2, 23 KOs), 26, of Cincinnati, will have to pay Theophane (39-6-1, 11 KOs) a portion of his purse. Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, Theophane's promoter, said they made a deal, but he declined to disclose the terms. Multiple sources told ESPN.com that Broner would pay Theophane $50,000.
Broner has won world titles in four weight classes, but this is the second time he has been overweight and been stripped of a belt.
In July 2012, Broner was due to make the second defense of his junior lightweight world title against Vicente Escobedo, but he was well over the division limit of 130 pounds. Broner weighed 133½ pounds and was stripped. Escobedo, who made weight, was eligible to win the belt, but Broner knocked him out in the fifth round the next night, and the title remained vacant.
"It's an unfortunate situation," Ellerbe told ESPN.com. "It's very embarrassing and unprofessional. These young fighters need to understand the importance of taking their job very seriously and showing professionalism."
Regarding Broner not returning to the scale to at least try to make the weight, Ellerbe said, "That was his decision. It's a decision he made. I can tell you this: Ashley is focused, he's prepared and he's coming to win the WBA title."

Jay Z Sues Tidal's Previous Owners For $15 Million. Claims They Exaggerated Streaming Subscriber Numbers


RadioOnFire.com - When Jay Z bought Swedish music streaming firm, Aspiro, for $56 million in March 2015, their subscriber base was figured into the purchase price.
The business mogul, who later renamed the company Tidal, is now seeking to recoup $15 million from the seller, claiming the subscription numbers were inflated.
“It became clear after taking control of Tidal and conducting our own audit that the total number of subscribers was actually well below the 540,000 reported to us by the prior owners,” Tidal said in an e-mailed statement to Bloomberg. “As a result, we have now served legal notice to parties involved in the sale.”

Despite having exclusive content from artists including Beyonce, Kanye West, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, J. Cole, Daft Punk, Alicia Keys, Jack White and others, Tidal with it's 3 million subscribers still trails it's biggest competitors by a wide margin.
In contrast, Spotify currently has 30 million paid subscribers and Apple Music has more than 11 million.
