Mike Jones sex tape
Houston rapper Mike Jones has defended his honor as a sex tape was leaked to the Internet allegedly featuring him as the star. As Jones gets ready to release his American Dream project on May 8th which is his second release, he was very disappointed that someone would try to involve him in what is obviously an Internet prank.

The rapper said to SOHH.com "the Internet things get blown out of proportion and I have to address it. A note to my fans: don't believe everything you see or hear on the Internet."

Mike Jones is one of the many rappers that is constantly giving back to his community. He has been known to provide money to help children get ready for going back to school, by giving them thousands of dollars for uniforms and books and is notorious for his giving around the time of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

In response to the sex tape he stated "If you look closely you will see that that man is not me. Where are the tattoos? I have them all over my arms, hands, neck, everywhere."

Tony Yayo update
After he went to court for the first time in response to the alleged attack on the 14 year old son of Jimmy 'Henchman' Rosemond, Tony Yayo was told to return to court again on July 24th.

"Everyone in the public needs to know that Yayo, himself, a parent of a young child, would never do what he is being falsely accused of doing," said the rapper's lawyer Scott E Leemon to allhiphop.com "This is nothing more than a set up and the truth will eventually come out."

Tony Yayo, born Marvin Bernard has already served back to back sentences for weapon possession.
