Despite loyal patronage by Jay-Z, his clientele, and the entire hip-hop community, Rouzaud said in a special edition of The Economist magazine that the company observes its association with the rap world with "curiosity and serenity." Even though Jay and other rappers continually support the brand by including Cristal in their lyrics, as Jay did in his
number 1 hit "Hard Knock Life," Rouzaud has labeled the name-checks as "unwelcome attention." Just as Rouzaud stated, "I'm sure Dom Perignon or Krug would be delighted to have their business," Jay-Z and the 40/40 Club will now be serving only Krug and Dom Perignon to their customers seeking high end champagne products.
A member of the Atlanta-based group Dem Franchize Boyz was arrested yesterday (June 13) during a police raid at a local recording studio. Authorities confiscated more than 11 pounds of marijuana, $150,000 in cash, two handguns and a stack of pornography from the Making Money studio in Atlanta. Sources told AllHipHop.com that all of the recording equipment was also seized, as well as four cars. DFB member Maurice "Parlae" Gleaton, 23, was one of the men arrested and charged.
"They were in the bathroom and they were trying to flush a lot of the drugs down the toilet," Atlanta Police Officer Richard Light told Channel 2 Action News. "They just had too much and couldn't flush it all down." Two children, who were at the studio during the raid, were taken into custody and were later released to their mother. WSBTV reports that eight people were arrested, including Making Big Moves Records CEO Anthony Blalock. The raid occurred after authorities received a tip that drugs were being sold at the studio. WHATS CRAZY IS THAT THE CBS AFFILIATE IN ATLANTA WHILE REPORTING THE STORY HAD A PICTURE OF D4L INSTEAD. WOW!!!
Police said a reality TV star assaulted a police officer, but she believes she was the one who was attacked and claims it started with harassment from her neighbors. Nichole Alexander gained national attention on the reality show "Flavor of Love." Alexander said, since she moved into her Dearborn home, the drama with her neighbors has reached a boiling point. One neighbor said Alexander doesn’t bother her at all, but others have called police multiple times. Alexander said her neighbors don’t like her because her family and friends are mostly black. She said they’ve called police just to harass her. Tuesday night, when several Dearborn police officers arrived to investigate a noise complaint, Alexander claimed an officer grabbed her as she was speaking her mind about feeling harassed. "He walked up, took the door, opened the door back up. Grabbed me by me neck and I just remember flying down these steps. While I’m falling, I gripped on to him and we fall. Now we wrestling and two more cop guys come and jump on me," she said. Alexander was arrested for assaulting an officer. She said the fight left her bruised. "We get to the police station and they’re all inside like, ‘Oh you know who she is right? That’s such and such from the show. We’re going to get good pictures of her,’" said Alexander. Neighbors, who did not want to be identified, said Alexander and people who visit her home disrespect the neighborhood by speeding up and down the street and with their loud music and other noise. Alexander and her relatives said neighbors have called police to her home about six times, but police said they only have a record of coming to the home once before.

Yesterday a close friend to R&B superstar Ashanti confirmed what people have been speculating for weeks - that Ashanti is four months pregnant. And the pregnancy may explain Ashanti's new look. As the below photos show, the sexy songstress has gone through some changes in recent months. The first photo, taken last year, shows a slim and trim Ashanti. The second photo, taken a few weeks ago, shows Ashanti with a slight tummy bulge. It also shows that Ashanti's nose has widened and she appears to have a natural "glow" - both common indicators of pregnancy. Many industry insiders are speculating that famed rapper Nelly is the father of the child. Nelly and Ashanti have been dating for nearly three years and seem very happy together. And according to one of
Nelly's pals, he's gotten so close to Ashanti that he's considering marriage. But one insider tells MediaTakeOut.com that she believes the father of the child is Irv Gotti, the married head of Ashanti's record label. Gotti, who openly admits to cheating on his wife, was linked romantically to Ashanti early in her career. The two reportedly rekindled their romance earlier this year while working on her new album.
