Nick Cannon Explains His “White People Party Music” Album

Nick Cannon was recently involved in a stunt that had many on the Internet calling him “racist.” The stunt – a picture showing Cannon wearing makeup to appear white – definitely caused some controversy,  but got Cannon the publicity he was after to promote the album.

In an exclusive interview, Cannon explained the decision and why he chose the name, White People Party Music for his album.

“I hoped people would give me a hard time [Laughs]. That’s the whole purpose. It’s just a fun album with a fun title that doesn’t take itself too seriously. At the same time it makes a statement. I always say white people love me, and they know how to have a good time.

Being a DJ, you name all your different crates and playlists. That’s the way I came up with the title. I have bar mitzvah music, trap music, ratchet music and one that says white people party music. And I said to myself, ‘You know, I’m going to name my album that.’ The album could have been titled Purple People Party Music. It’s just a bunch of feel-good songs that tap into the many different places that I’ve been in my life.”

Nick Cannon Called A ‘Racist’ for Wearing a “White Face”

Nick Cannon is getting some serious flack from Internet users after he tried to pull off a stunt in promoting his new album, “White People Party Music.”

Mr. Mariah Carey has been labelled “racist,” “ignorant” and “hypocritical” for the stunt – which also saw him show off his bizarre new “Connor Smallnut” persona in a series of videos.

Cannon, 33, sent social media sites into meltdown after sharing an Instagram snap of himself Sunday.

“It’s official… I’m White!!! #WHITEPEOPLEPARTYMUSIC #Wppm in stores April 1st!!!!!!Dude Go Get It!!!Join The Party!!!!” he wrote alongside the image.

“#GoodCredit #DogKissing #BeerPong #FarmersMarkets #FistPumping #CreamCheeseEating #RacialDraft “Bro I got drafted!!” he added.

His character, who looks like a skater kid, wore a beanie, wig and false teeth – with a white T-shirt and 80s style jeans completing the trying-to-be satirical outfit.

With some fans criticizing him for the post, Cannon tweeted back: “”Duuuude everybody Chil-lax!!!!” ~ Connor Smallnut’.”

He then added: “It’s funny how people take themselves so seriously. People love drama! We feed off of it. Just relax and have fun!!”

Wyclef Jean is Broke – “there ain’t no money”

Wyclef Jean’s former lawyers have filed a six-figure legal judgment against the musician after he failed to make agreed-upon payments to reduce his debt, according to court filings that include a recent e-mail from Jean’s business manager claiming that his client was broke.

“there ain’t no money,” Jean’s accountant declared in a terse January e-mail to his creditors.

Other records show that federal and state authorities have, since mid-2012, hit the performer with nearly $2.9 million in tax liens (which remain outstanding).

According to New York State Supreme Court filings, Jean last year agreed to pay the law firm Shukat Arrow Hafer Weber & Herbsman $100,000 to settle an outstanding bill topping $133,000.

As part of a confidential settlement agreement, Jean was required to pay the firm $10,000 by August 1, 2013, and $50,000 by year’s end. The agreement stipulated that if Jean made those two payments, the firm would waive the remaining $40,000 it was owed by the musician. However, the agreement notes, if Jean failed to make the payments, he would be on the hook for the entire $100,000, plus 10 percent annual interest.

Jean, records show, made neither payment.

Jamaican Superstar Vybz Kartel Convicted of Murder

Jamaican dancehall artist Vybz Kartel and three associates were convicted Thursday in the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams. Jurors deliberated less than two hours before announcing their verdict, which may result in a life sentence for the popular dancehall musician.

In August 2011, prosecutors argued, Williams was taken to Kartel’s home and beaten to death over two missing guns. Williams’ body has never been recovered, yet the prosecution was able to score a conviction based on voicemail and text messages alongside circumstantial evidence. According to the New York Times, Jamaican police found a text message on Vybz Kartel’s phone that Williams’ body had been chopped to “mincemeat.”

Kartel’s trial lasted 65 days, one of the longest trials in Jamaica’s circuit court system, according to Jamaica Observer. Kartel’s lawyers will appeal the verdict.

In 2013, the singer, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, was acquitted of a separate murder charge stemming from the killing of Jamaican businessman and promoter Barrington “Bossie”’ Burton. Kartel was arrested for murder, conspiracy to murder and illegal possession of a firearm.

Bobby Brown Denies Rumor that Daughter Bobbi Kristina is Married

Word on the street is that Bobby Brown’s daughter Bobbi Kristina is married to Nick Gordon, but Bobby is not a believer, although the rumor was started by Bobbi and Nick themselves.

Back on January the pair was seen showing off their rings and telling everyone they had tied the knot.

TMZ caught up with Bobby and conducted an impromptu interview the way they always do, and one of the questions had was about the supposed marriage.

Bobby immediately laughed and said, “No, she didn’t get married… she’s still single.”

Asked if a marriage is in the works, Brown said he didn’t know, but he’d give her his full support if she “chose the right one.”

By the end of the interview, Brown said of BK’s possible marriage, “If she says she is, I don’t know about it.”

Confrontation – 50 Cent Gets In Steve Stoute’s Face at Knicks Game

Watch what you say! 50 Cent confronted Steve Stoute during a Knicks game at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Friday (Feb. 28). Photos surfaced of the two men in what appears to be in a heated conversation.

50 Cent may have not taken to kindly to Stoute’s unflattering remarks about his career while chatting with Hot 97 DJ Angie Martinez. During their conversation, the former rap manager-turned-advertising executive believed that Fiddy isn’t an influential artist.

“50 hasn’t had a hit in a really long time,” he told Martinez. “He has not made anything musically that has changed anything in a really long time. I feel like he’s always gearing up for something that never happens.”

50, a guy who doesn’t take smack from anyone, was photographed confronting Stoute during the Knicks game against the Golden State Warriors (see above).

Judging by the pics (posted at HipHop-N-More), it looks like the G-Unit leader was making sure he got his point across while Stoute was trying to diffuse the situation and explained himself.

Robin Thicke, You Can Cry All You Want, But Paula Patton Is Looking for More

Robin Thicke can cry all he wants on stage about his love for Paula Patton … but it’s not going to change her mind about leaving him … sources tell TMZ. For that … he has to do something else.

Sources connected with the couple tell us … Paula is unimpressed with Robin telling both TMZ and thousands of concertgoers he’s trying to win her back.

Here’s the good news for Robin.  Although she TOLD him she wanted a divorce, she hasn’t hired a divorce lawyer yet and she’s open to reconciliation.

BUT … before she takes him back, Robin has to prove his loyalty to her … by his actions.  She’s keeping tabs on him at his concerts, watching who he hangs with, which parties he attends — especially the after parties — and what photos surface.

We’re told Paula knows photogs have their cameras trained on Robin, and she views the paparazzi are her private detectives. 

You know the drill, Robin.

Miley Cyrus The Reason Why Robin Thicke’s Marriage Fell Apart

TMZ is reporting that Robin Thicke’s marriage fell apart when he dry humped Miley Cyrus on stage before a national audience … humiliating his wife.

Sources connected to the couple tell TMZ … Paula Patton felt “utterly disrespected” when Robin virtually simulated sex with Miley the night of the VMAs.  We’re told after the performance Paula got into a blow-out argument with Robin, telling him he insulted her before a huge national TV audience.

What really pissed Paula off is that the performance was a total surprise.  Miley improvised the raunchy part without warning, but Robin played along … and that enraged Paula.

Sources say Paula went nuclear when she saw pictures surface of her hubby at one of the after-parties grabbing a woman’s ass … virtually digging inside.

We’re told things never got better after that.  They argued constantly and Paula was furious Robin continued to party at clubs with various women … pictured at times getting very cozy.

It reached the point of no return last week — at least for Paula.  As we reported … Robin is pulling out all the stops to change her mind, but we’re told she wants out of the marriage.

Christian Band Leader Pleads Guilty to Hiring Hitman to Kill His Wife

The frontman of Grammy-nominated Christian band As I Lay Dying has admitted to trying to hire a hit man to kill his estranged wife.

Timothy Lambesis, 32, pleaded guilty to one count of solicitation of murder in Vista Superior Court, near San Diego, today.

The father-of-three was arrested in May last year after giving an undercover agent acting as a hit man, money, gate codes and an alibi to kill his estranged wife, Meggan Lambesis.

The Californian allegedly said he wanted his wife dead because she was going to get up to 60 percent of his income and would not allow their three young children to join him on tour.

NBC San Diego reported Lambesis could serve nine years behind bars as a result of his plea deal when he is sentenced on May 2. He is out on $2 million bail.
