Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz sat down with Sway from MTV’s ‘RapFix Live’ where he officially announced he has left DTP and signed with Def Jam. He also revealed that he has been working with Kanye West for the last year and the two have new ideas that they plan on releasing real soon.

2 Chainz (who was also know as Tity Boi) was signed to Ludacris’ Disturbing tha Peace record label (via Def Jam) as 1/2 of the rap group Playaz Circle. He’s now signed with Def Jam as a solo artist and is ready to create great music.

“At the end of the day, my new home and where I’ve been comfortable with for a minute, is Def Jam,” 2 Chainz revealed

I was in the Def Jam building yesterday and I will say this, the label is excited to have him there!

Gayle says:

“It’s absolutely not true that she’s the godmother. She’s friends with them, of course, and likes them both very much. She’s working on sending them a baby gift. She hasn’t even had time to send a baby gift because she’s been away. Let me just say, if (that report is) true, it is news to her. It is news to her. You know, she was heading to South Africa when the baby was born.”

Well there you have it.

In new court papers filed in an emergency motion in a Texas courtroom Pilar claims,

“Since [Deion] filed for divorce on December 21, 2011, he has given [Pilar] $300.00 and offered her money in exchange for sexual favors.”

Pilar wants the judge to make Deion come up off some money ASAP saying,

“The children and I have lived in survival mode for several months, and the emotional toll on all of us is palpable.”

But it gets worse. She also said Deion “engaged in a pattern of systematically removing my belongings from the house and haphazardly throwing them into piles in the garage of the residence.”

So how much does she want? Pilar claims Deion makes more than $1 million per year, so she wants a cut of that.

Deion claims these allegations are FALSE and she’s only trying to extort him for more money! An advisor close to Deion stated, ”Pilar has continued to make false statements in an attempt to extort additional money, in spite of the generous pre-nup that she voluntarily signed. Deion is going to allow a judge to resolve this privately, then he looks forward to setting the record straight publicly at the appropriate time.”

Keep reading, there’s more…

Sources close to Deion tell TMZ the accusations are untrue and claim that Deion recently offered her a cashier’s check for $10,000 in which Pilar rejected! According to Pilar’s lawyer, she rejected the check because Deion labeled the check as “partial payment” towards the $1 million she’s suppose to collect from their pre-nup.

Also, Pilar and her lawyer feel the pre-nup is invalid with her lawyer stating, “The offer does not reflect the assets in the estate and does not account for the time, effort, devotion, and faithfulness Pilar has invested in the marriage.”

This is OHHH SOOO MESSY!

So much for whipping her hair back and forth! Willow Smith just shaved all of her hair off, the 11 year-old singer posted her brand new look for the entire world to see!

Her parents Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have made it known that they allow their kids to make their own decisions. Wonder how they feel about this one, HOT or NOT???

Mary J. Blige was wearing a purple leopard Dolce & Gabanna dress and black Christian Louboutin pumps. Mary said her marriage to Kendu is not on the rocks but admitted they do go through tough and real times.

Mary also said she DOES NOT struggle with being sober, like some rumors have said. But she will have a drink every now and then, that’s all it is.

And when it comes to motherhood, she said when it’s time….she will make it happen. She added that she doesn’t want to get pregnant just because it’s trendy.

She also revealed her good celeb friends are Taraji P. Henson and Tamar Braxton.

I love me some Mary keep rocking mama! PS she looks amazing at 40!

Chuntera Napier of Cobb County says she just couldn’t say no to her son Gaquan when he asked her if he could get a tattoo in honor of his older brother who died after being hit by a car, and she had no idea that allowing him to do so was illegal.

“It made me feel good to know that he wanted his brother on him,” Napier said, adding that her family is still grieving the death of her 12-year-old son Malik, who was hit and killed two years ago by a teenage driver in nearby Macon County.

Do you think authorities went over board in arresting her? Personally I feel there are other ways to channel grief and tattooing a small child is a bit kray!

We’ve learned the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services submitted more than a dozen recommendations to the judge, including mediation … in which a 3rd party would sit with Halle and Gabriel and try to figure out how they can peacefully raise their child. We’re told Halle was receptive but Gabriel wasn’t.

And our sources say … Halle agreed to continue her individual counseling, which will help her deal with what has become an impossible situation.

As for Gabriel, he’s agreed to counseling for his anger issues.

Both parties agreed today to send 3-year-old Nahla to counseling.

We’re told the judge did not make any decision on the fate of the nanny, whom Gabriel wants fired.

And the judge hasn’t ruled on Halle’s request to keep Gabriel from Nahla until the child endangerment investigation runs its course.

Sources say Gabriel has objected to most of the recommendations and the judge is on the verge of holding a full hearing — similar to a trial — so he can firmly call the shots.

It seems to me that these to be allowing their egos to get in the way of them raising their daughter in a peaceful in environment. If they don’t get it together and start acting like adults it will affect Nahla in the long run!

Jazz Anderson tatted Faith Over Fear on her ankle and the underage aspiring rapper wants to get more ink done on her young body.

She tweets:

“I want a tattoo of an inspirational quote on my back now….Let me stop though & give this 1 time 2 heal b4 I start thinking abt others. Love is Light or God is Strength…Something uplifting & meaniningful, like “faith over fear”…that relates 2 my life so much.”

Do you think she’s too young to get a tattoo? Should Tami continue to let her child mark up her body?
