Eminem to take to shakes?
Rapper Eminem has been approached by diet shake company Slim Fast with the hopes that the rapper who has recently gained a considerable amount of weight will become a Slimfast Success Story. Eminem is rumored to be working on a new album titled Living Proof, his first album since 2004.
Remy Ma annoying judge
Bronx based Remy Ma and her lawyers are antagonizing the Judge presiding over her case. Her lawyer Ivan Fisher missed a second court date this week to arrange a date for the trial of the rapper.
Judge R Vuiller was said to be very annoyed that the lawyer had missed the second attempt to schedule a date for the trial which will see Remy Ma standing trial for assault after the Summer shooting of a former friend, Makeda Barnes-Joseph.
Foxy reaches out to judge
Brooklyn's Foxy Brown has appealed to the Judge who sentenced her to a years imprisonment Judge Jackson with a four page letter with the hopes of having her sentence cut short.
The rapper is complaining of hearing issues and being held in prison is not allowing her to get the help she needs to prevent the issue from worsening. The Doctor who works with Foxy Brown and who installed her hearing device is located in California.
There has yet to be any news on if the letter in which the rapper insists she has learned her lesson, has encouraged Judge Jackson to reduce the sentence.
