After filing for divore in April, Kelis hinted to infidelity on the part of the Queensbridge lyricist with a June 4 post on Twitter, that blasted husbands who cheated on their wives.

Nas, who maintained he never cheated on Kelis, further touted his good standing in the relationship while admitting to some natural shortcomings as human.

 “I heard that I was a cheater, It almost sounds like I was a bad husband. Not to say I was the greatest—I’m not perfect in anything I do—but I think I deserve a f***ing trophy. If I do say so myself, without sounding too cocky, I gotta say I was a hell of a husband and a hell of a dad.” Read More »

Ja Rule - The Mirror Album Cover Art

Ja Rule realizes his window of opportunity is opened at a crack right now; Ja leaks what was to be his “comeback” album “The Mirror” to the net in hopes of regenerating a buzz and letting listeners here some tracks they might have missed. In today’s climate of Hip Hop is there even a place for Ja Rule to comeback? [No shots] Ja is currently working on building his label, Mpire Music Group, putting the finishing touches on his next LP and will be releasing a mixtape before the album called ‘Welcome to Rule York.’

“The album was leaked already so I’m really just putting it out there for the people who didn’t really get a chance to hear it, There’s some extra records on there that I put on there that I didn’t necessarily record for The Mirror and there are a couple of records that were recorded for The Mirror but didn’t leak. A lot of people didn’t hear a lot of the records, so if you’re not a die-hard Ja Rule fan, then you probably didn’t hear a lot of the records or not at all…You gotta understand, The Mirror was made almost three years ago now so there’s a couple of jabs on The Mirror, I ain’t gonna front.”
