RAPPER-DRAKE SHARES CHILDHOOD PHOTOS WITH FATHER-HE SAID FATHER NEVER THERE

 

The 'Take Care' rapper can be seen as a young boy rocking a small afro, sitting on the lap of his father, Dennis Graham.

Another photo Drizzy posted on Twitter via his Instagram account, shows a teenaged Drake striking a pose with a friend. 

The images come as Drake recently discussed his turbulent relationship with his father, who he says was unreliable during his childhood.

In the GQ magazine feature, Drake touches on everything from his challenges of relating to women, his promiscuous past, and his relationship with his father, Dennis Graham, a musician and former drummer for Jerry Lee Lewis, who (in a recent interviewwith Action News 5) credited Drake’s “diversity” and “phenomenal metaphors” to his Memphis roots and frequent visits to the legendary Royal Studios.

GQ Magazine’s Style Bible edition issues, featuring Drake on the cover hit magazine stands on March 20th, 2012.

NICKI MINAJ TO MAKE MILLIONS-SIGNS A HUGE 360-PEPSI DEAL..GO GAL

 

In the heat of her hype, it’s  easy to forget how far Nicki Minaj has come from her days as a struggling MC.

For, putting her revival of Female Rap aside, her feats as an artist/aspiring mogul have been astounding to say the least.

From scoring a lucrative 360 deal with the folk over at Young Money , to negotiating her way into MAC‘s Viva Glam campaign, it’s clear to see that  her ‘rise to the top’is down to her oft overlooked business savvy, and not her oh-so infamous ‘assets’.Speaking to the deal’s middle man Derek Jackson, the company confirmed:

Minaj will become the face of a new Pepsi beverage nearing its debut. He said the pact, which includes a commercial filmed in South America last month  is a multimillion-dollar deal.

Named ‘Pop’, the beverage’s commercial- which stars Nicki-  was shot in South Africa in February, and according to Jackson stands as a ‘seven figure commitment’, possibly the Rapper’s biggest deal to date.

He explained:

You’ll see the commercial probably in the next two months, That’ll be a segue into Pepsi’s ‘Pop,’ and she’ll be the face of the brand … it’s going to be explosive.

While the act a money makes by no means defines how successful they are- see 50 Cent- we can’t but commend Nicki on this achievement.

Because, unlike a certain Rihanna, Minaj seems to understand   that wigs, gimmicks and ‘microwave Pop’ can only take a girl so far, and if an act is too succeed in the long run- deals like these must be made today, to protect their finances tomorrow.

OBAMA & HOLLYWOOD......OPRAH,TYLER PERRY,CEE LO AMONG THOSE IN ATLANTA FOR OBAMA FUNDRAISER :

        MOVIE STAR & DIRECTOR..TYLER PERRY WELCOMING OBAMA TO THE STAGE

             CEE LO PERFORMING AT THE GALA IN ATLANTA FOR OBAMA

ATLANTA (WXIA) — Although President Obama‘s approval ratings may rise and fall, one thing was evident during his Atlanta visit: He is still a rock star in many Americans’ eyes. And Friday’s crowd at Tyler Perry Studios was proof of that.
As attendees of the affair waited for President Obama to hit the stage, the crowd started cheering, “four more years,” and once the president began speaking, people intermittently shouted out, “I love you . . .”

“Change is the fact that for the first time in history, you don’t have to hide who you love in order to serve the country you love. We ended ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell,’ ” Obama told the audience. He also pointed out that after nine years, “there are no Americans fighting in Iraq” and that “Osama bin Laden is not walking the face of this earth,” using both as examples of change that took place during his tenure 

          EVERY ONE IN THE ROOM WANTED TO GET A GLIMPSE OF THE PRESIDENT
“We still have a lot of work to do, because there are a lot of folks who are still hurting out there. A lot of folks still pounding the pavement looking for work, a lot of people whose homes — values have dropped. A lot of people who are still struggling to make the rent,” he said . . . 

BEYONCE & JAY-Z ..DON'T WANT RIHANNA NEAR THE BABY BLUE IVY...FIND OUT WHY WHY WHY?

It seems Jay-Z is not willing to look past the fact that Rihanna has given Chris Brown, the man who violently beat her, a second chance.  There have been rumors floating around that Jay-Z and Beyonce do not wish to have Rihanna interacting with their daughter Blue Ivy, now that she has rebuilt her once crumbled bridge, with Chris Brown.  Those close to the situation have said that neither Jay or Beyonce, will not let her see Blue Ivy, so long as she chooses to have a relationship, romantic or otherwise, with Chris Brown. 
“Jay-Z’s not only Rihanna’s mentor, he’s also like her big brother.  He got Beyoncé to tell Rihanna he doesn’t want her around the baby if she takes Chris back.  He wants Blue to have positive role models, not someone who’d take back a man who hit her.”.Wonder what Rihanna has to say now, when big brother Jay-Z refuses to buy her "strictly professional" claims and has also given her an ultimatum....JAY-Z DON'T LIKE MAN WHO HIT WOMAN.....BIG UP HOMMIE
