Making It Rain On Them Hoes: Tyga Drops $120K To Decorate ‘Last Kings’ Flagship Store In LA

Rack, Rack City Bish…
Celebrities, media, influencers, family, friends and fans gathered at the Last Kings Flagship store on Melrose starting last Thursday as rapper Tygacelebrated his new apparel collection, Last Kings. The Rack City rapper’s fashion line aims to “mix luxury with affordable street wear,” according to his press release. Speaking of luxury, Tyga spared no expense when taking over the former Christian Audigier store location on Melrose Ave, dropping over $120k on authentic Egyptian decoration and customization fit for a pharaoh…including a custom-made tomb. Reports TMZ:
Tyga doesn’t need drugs to get hieroglyphic … he just dropped $20,000 on an Egyptian-made tomb for his new L.A. store … and it’s pretty rad.
Sources tell us, Tyga spent more than $120,000 decorating the newly-opened Melrose clothing store called Last Kings — the tomb was just a drop in the bucket.
We’re told $100,000 went toward painting the place’s ceilings like the Sistine Chapel — and the remaining money went toward the tomb, as well as a bunch of other Egyptian-made Pharaoh-phernalia … like the black and gold guard statues … and sand.
Yes, Tyga actually paid to import sand from Egypt … and his store is 10 miles from the beach.
At least it looks cool.
Check out what they mean:
Tyga was recently listed by Forbes as the next moneymaking rapper to watch, but do you think all that extravagance was really necessary for a brand few people are yet familiar with? Either way, Tyga got a ton of support from his celeb friends for the store opening, with guests like Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Wiz Khalifa, Rajon Rondo, Brittany Gastineau, Keke Palmer, Quincy and Lil Twist, Bow Wow, and NFL Star Desean Jackson all stopping by. Peep the clip and a few pics below:


Nicki Minaj’s manager/boyfriend Safaree aka Scaff Beezy has been riding by her side for the longest and as of late, he’s been going the extra mile to show the world that it’s real.
Scaff first revealed that he gotten a ginormous tattoo of Nicki’s face on his arm earlier this year and now he’s added 2 more to his collection of Minaj ink:
Of course, the million dollar question is…will Nicki be getting inked up too? We’re gonna go out on a limb and guess not…

Another day, another struggle is becoming an old adage for MC, Azealia Banks. Today, she announced that her Soundcloud page has been deleted after two previous red flags on songs posted.
These days, Twitter has become the proverbial podium that artist use when they want attention. Banks followed suit, saying “So I got a third copyright infringement on my soundcloud via ‘f**k up the fun’ and they terminated my account. All 2million followers, gone.”
It appears that she was more upset over losing the stans she’s amassed over time than one of her largest music platforms tanking.

However, we’re confused as to why a song of hers was flagged on her Soundcloud page. Perhaps this has something to do with Banks being in label limbo after publicly dissing and begging Universal to drop her. The label could be the proverbial Jim Jones to her Max B, which is ironic with her being from Harlem in all.
Nevertheless, while it seems like the New Yorker can’t get a break, we’d like if she directed all disdain to a recording booth. Banks has the obvious talent.
At least she has a sense of humor, as her follow-up tweet read, “Way to f**k up the fun , lol.”
Expect Azealia Banks’ Soundcloud page to make a return to the Internets soon. History suggests that her next venting session on Twitter could happen just as quickly.

The mother of the wrongly accused man even thought a photo of the robbery suspect she saw on television was a photo of her son.
Conrad Zdzierak, 30, pleaded guilty Monday in Hamilton County Ohio to one count of aggravated robbery and five counts of robbery in a plea deal with prosecutors.
Conrad Zdzierak targeted four banks and a chemist within the space of three hours wearing the mask

The silicone mask, purchased from a California costume company, behaves like real flesh and muscle
He faces up to 35 years in prison at his January 7 sentencing.
In exchange, prosecutors dismissed 12 charges and decided not to seek indictments for other crimes, prosecutor spokeswoman Julie Wilson said.
‘Conrad apologises to everyone, is sorry for any harm he has caused and accepts responsibility for his actions,’ his lawyer Christopher McDowell said.
Zdzierak stole about $15,000 in the robberies of four banks, a credit union and a pharmacy that occurred in March and April – crimes in which witnesses reported that the robber was black and surveillance video appeared to show a black man.
Zdzierak’s masked resemblance to the black man who was initially arrested was so similar that some witnesses even identified a photo of the black man as the one who robbed them, McDowell said.
The prosecutor’s office would not release the name of the wrongly accused man.
McDowell said his client purchased the masks from SPFXmasks, based in Van Nuys, California. The silicone masks ‘look and behave like real flesh and muscle,’ the company’s website says.
Owner Rusty Slusser said Tuesday his company’s masks are normally bought for movies, Halloween, haunted houses and stage shows, but the Ohio case was not the first time they have been used for criminal purposes.
‘We do not condone any illegal activity with our masks,’ Slusser said.
Shit Is Crazy-Free The World Boss.
So you know Nicki Minaj’s signature crazy wig look? Well Terrence Davidson, her former “wig guru” wants credit for it and he wants a ton of money for his efforts. Along the lines of 30 million bucks. He’s claiming she stole wig designs and copyrighted them without giving him any money. She also allegedly discouraged him from a reality show, which could have earned him moolah.
We get he’s upset, but $30 million for wigs? Sheesh!
Let’s look at some of the wigs Davidson may have inspired.
A brother and sister from Chicago are finally getting some well-deserved justice to the tune of $37 million after enduring a wrongful arrest and brutal beating at the hands of Chicago police officers when they were teenagers nearly a decade ago.
via Chicago Tribune
A federal jury has awarded $3.7 million to two brothers and a sister who said they were beaten and falsely charged by rogue Chicago police officers who were assigned to a corrupt Special Operations Section kin 2004.
The case stemmed from the arrest of Seneca Adams, 20, in front of his home on Sept. 14, 2004. His brother, Tari Adams, 18, and his twin sister, Sicara Adams, went to check on him and found that he was being held by members of the department’s Special Operations Section in a secluded area behind the Cook County Jail, according to their lawsuit.
When the brother and sister attempted to ask the officers about their brother, Tari Adams was punched by an officer and she and her younger brother left the jail, the lawsuit stated.
As they sat at a stop light blocks from their home, a squad car rammed into their car, they contended. They were able to make it home, but officers quickly arrested both of them, according to the lawsuit. Both Seneca Adams and Tari Adams said they were beaten in the officers and produced photographs taken later that night and the next day showing bruises and cuts on their faces.
While beating Seneca Adams, officers repeatedly called him a “monkey” and a “n—–.”
Senaca and Tari Adams accused the officers of filing false charges against them. Seneca Adams spent 204 days in Cook County Jail before raising enough money to be bonded out. Tari Adams was jailed for 46 days.
“They are happy, relieved,’’ lead attorney Christopher R. Smith said of the brothers and sister. “This is a great moment for them but it’s not over by any stretch. Their lives were flipped on end.’’
Seneca and Tari now reside in Arizona. Their sister Sicara still lives in Chicago with her two children. She was four months pregnant with one of them when the officer hit her car, he said. She and the child did not suffer any physical injuries, Smith added.
“These young people were amazing in how they dealt with this situation and how they were victorious. This is a mountain to climb,’’ Smith said. “They felt so dehumanized by the whole process.”
Nice to know justice is served in SOME part of the country.

WTF?!?
Eric Ortiz wanted to face his fears. So he tattooed a black widow spider on his face.
Man Overcomes Fear Of Spiders By Tattooing Spider On His Face
Via Daytona Beach News reports:
“Everybody fears spiders,” Ortiz said. “That’s why I got it. Just to, like, make me know, that that’s what I fear, but not to fear it. You know what I’m saying?”
Ortiz, 24, of Deltona, talked about his spider tattoo after appearing in court on a felony charge of driving while license revoked (habitual) at the Volusia County Courthouse in DeLand.Ortiz’s particular method of dealing with arachnophobia gets attention.
“Everybody looks at it like, “Damn spider” ’cause if you’re going around your house, you know what I’m saying, you see those spiders, you’re going to jump, you’re going to jump, so putting one on my face, I say you know what, I’m going to see what people think.”
What do people think?“Some people say ‘Why did you get it? You’re never going to get a job,” Ortiz said. “Some people say “It’s cool, man. The tattoo on the face, I would never get it but that one came out cool.’”
His girlfriend wasn’t too happy, though.
“She was mad at me,” he said.
Ortiz said he does landscaping and tile work and doesn’t deal spider-face to face with customers.
“I don’t work in a place where there are people around,” he said. “They are not worried about it right now.”
But the black widow tattoo has not scared away law enforcement. Ortiz’s criminal record includes charges of burglary of a conveyance, domestic battery, possession of schedule 4 substance, retail theft, violation of injunction for protection and loitering and prowling.
What do you expect out of Florida? Thank God he didn’t have a fear of private parts!

(Street Life City News) Another day and another reality TV star is called out for lack of child support. Today (February 21), Steven A. “Stevie J” Jordan was served a subpoena to appear in Family Court over unpaid child support payments.
Stevie was served the subpoena at his new restaurant, “Sleazy & Zino” by Project Child Support, a foundation which helps custodial parents with collections. The subpoena stipulates that Stevie must provide a recent pay stub, W-2 wage and tax documents with most recent filed federal and state income tax returns. This stipulation could change the conditions of his child support payment as Bennett, in an interview with The Urban Daily in November, alleged that Stevie was using duplicitous tactics to avoid paying more child support:
Another thing is that a lot of his monies were being kept in businesses. When you change the name, it’s hard to continue to track those businesses. He changes the business name every two years. Also, he moves money and puts it in other peoples’ names. That’s what I think is happening. That’s what I’ve come up with because he does have companies.
Back in October of 2013, Carol Bennett sued Stevie J for over $1 million in back taxes and accused him of missing over 160 payments by November of 2013. In December, Stevie J denounced the lawsuit in an interview with Sister 2 Sister ion the grounds that she made no mention of suing him when they were together two weeks prior:
Nah! I mean let me know what’s going on. Let me know the play. I didn’t know the play. It’s just like, ‘Okay. I thought we was cool. I just hit you with some racks and some bands!
Guess the grown man peen was too much for her…SMFH
Mom Sentenced 6 Years For Sex With Son’s Pre-Teen Friend
A Fountain Valley woman who admitted to having sex with her son’s 12-year-old friend was sentenced Friday to six years in prison.
Patricia Serrano, 45, must register as lifetime sex offender after pleading guilty in a Santa Ana courtroom to three charges of lewd acts on a child under 14.
The sexual abuse came to light when the victim’s mother found Serrano in a locked bathroom with her son in 2011 and reported the incident to police. Serrano twice had sex with the boy in her home and in a car, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
The Fountain Valley Police Department arrested Serrano Nov. 1, 2011.
In a separate but related case, Serrano had pleaded guilty Jan. 6 to one felony count of forgery and one misdemeanor count of attempted petty theft, according to the DA’s office.
Serrano had drafted a letter to her employer on fake DA’s office letterhead in an attempt to get paid for a day of missed work. The letter, which misspelled a prosecutor’s name, falsely indicated the Serrano had been in court.
Serrano’s employer contacted the DA’s office about the letter.
So basically she’s shady as fucc ON TOP of being “ain’t shit”. Bye! biiiiitttch!

Buckhead does not want Justin Bieber as a neighbor.
A new “Protest Justin Bieber Moving to Buckhead” Facebook page has been started by the Buckhead Neighborhood Coalition.
“As a community here in Buckhead, we have worked hard to achieve our goals and get to where we are,” its mission statement says. “Justin Bieber’s relocation to Atlanta can be nothing but bad for our children, as well as the community. Some can’t even let their children play in the driveway without fear; he has raced vehicles under the influence before. What’s to say he won’t do it again? As a homeowner down the street from this residence, one can assume many people will be contacting real estate agents soon enough. Please do not allow a child to ruin what we have worked so hard to obtain. Thanks for the support!”
It sounds like they want to call Bieber a “nigga”
The freedom fighters evidently plan to picket outside the Blackland Road mansion Biebs reportedly has been eyeing.
Bieber – sorry, make that “Bizzle” – has been back in Atlanta, which he calls his second hometown, for several weeks now working on a new recording project. He has been spotted at an east Cobb County ice rink, an area Zaxby’s, the Phipps Plaza movie theater and partying with other artists including Jermaine Dupri, Diddy and Rick Ross.
All that money Bizzle got and white folks STILL ain’t fawkin’ with him! LMAO!


(Street Life City News) Ron Artest may have changed his last name to World Peace but his brother seems to be just fine at war. Today (February 22nd) Daniel Artest took to his personal Twitter account to air out his grievances with how the New York Knicks have treated his brother Metta World Peace, reveals
The 31 year old former basketball prodigy was “disappointed” in the playing time his brother received and compared the Knicks organization to World Peace’s prior team, the Los Angeles Lakers. Artest even alleged that World Peace once warned him that the New York Knicks Public Relations department were monitoring his Twitter activity:

The only members of the New York Knicks organization that Artest called out by name were James Dolan (owner of New York Knicks) and Mike Woodson (New York Knicks head coach). Artest accused Woodson of being a “yes man” and jokingly alleged that Dolan was being extorted:


This comes less than a hour after World Peace tweeted that the New York Knicks were working to buyout his contract and release him:
My agent just informed me this release could happen any hr now. I just want to say “Thanks for everything”
— Metta World Peace (@MettaWorldPeace) February 22, 2014
Metta World Peace signed a two year deal with the New York Knicks this past summer worth $1.6 million per season. He has only played in 29 of the 56 games the Knicks have played this season and is averaging 13.4 minutes and 4.8 points per game.

(Street Life City News) 50 Cent probably became the biggest independent Hip Hop artist with his new deal at Caroline/Capitol/UMG and is following in the footsteps of another great independent businessman. For the first time since he announced his departure from Interscope Records, 50 Cent discusses details of his new deal and how it was supposed to happen.
According to the article, 50 Cent says that his deal at Caroline/Capitol/UMG is similar to Birdman’s Cash Money Records deal with Universal Music Group. Birdman’s Cash Money Records gives only “7% of wholesale per album to Universal in exchange for distribution and support” according to the article.
50 Cent still owed Interscope Records one more record under his contract but was able to leave the label without making the album or paying Interscope. 50 says usually this rarely happens for artists, but due to his relationship with Interscope powerhouses, Eminem and Dr. Dre, 50 is a “special case”:
I’m a special case and situation. It’s also because of the leverage of having the strong relationships with Eminem and Dr. Dre. They don’t want me to be uncomfortable. They value our friendship to the point that they would never want [to jeopardize] it over that little bit of money.
The biggest difference between 50 Cent’s Interscope deal and his Caroline/Capitol/UMG deal is the creative control over his release of new music and music videos. 50 says with Carolione/Capitol/UMG “it’s having the ability to do that versus, ‘It’s out of the question.’”
Beyonce can we hold a stack?
Looks like Rihanna Bey’s peers need to step their tour game up.
According to MTV:
Beyonce is expected to make well over 200 million dollars by the time the Mrs Carter Show World Tour wraps up this year (2014). The tour, which was already the highest grossing concert by a female artist in 2013, is set to become the most successful of her entire career and make her the highest paid black musician of all time!
More impressive is the fact that Mrs Carter is the director and executive producer of this entire production and is touring the world with her all female band and eight female backing dancers with the exception of the french dancing duo, “Les Twins” the only men on this tour are cast and crew.
There tour was put together by her production company “Parkwood Entertainment”, which is also responsible for creating her visual album and her directorial movie debut “Life Is But A Dream.”
Well! She definitely told y’all to bow down. Mrs. Carter go head and brush ya shoulders off.

(Street Life City News) Well, that was rather quick. Less than a month after the original broke the record for the biggest January opening weekend ($47.8 million), the sequel to Ride Along has been confirmed to be in the works.
According to Deadline, Ride Along 2 will have the same director (Tim Story) and scriptwriters (Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi) as the original. Rumors of negotiations for Ride Along 2 surfaced last April, nine months before the original premiered in January.
Ride Along, made on a $25 million budget, has already grossed over $120 million worldwide in less than six weeks. Deadline reports that only 3% ($3.6 million) of Ride Along‘s international gross comes from foreign box offices. In effort to increase their international revenue, Ride Along 2 will reportedly include more multicultural characters.

Brooklyn Tankard — one of the stars of Bravo’s “Thicker than Water” — won’t be winning any Mom of the Year awards … she just got popped for allowing her kid to skip school.
Tankard — known as “Queen Brooklyn” on the show — was stopped by cops in Murfreesboro, Tennessee for a traffic offense … and a license check turned up some outstanding warrants … including one for “Failure to Cause Child to Attend School.”
According to court docs … Tankard’s 10-year-old daughter, Diamond, had 16 unexcused absences from school … and had another 35 unexcused tardies.
So they arrested Brooklyn for not forcing her kid to go to school.
She was booked and released.

I saw this on Facebook but didn’t funny understand the gravity of the situation until people started to email me about it. I was like DAMN…Drizzy $hitted on Diddy! I’m sure a lot of you saw it, but I have to put it on the record in the rumors. Basically, Drake got super amped while performing “Worst Behavior” during All Star, but his mic wasn’t working right. He literally SNATCHED the mic from Diddy and then put the other mic on the floor. THEN, Diddy picked up the mic off the floor.

(Street LIfe City News) Kanye West continues to make headlines for his rants at various concert spots and now the rapper has proclaimed himself “top 5 of all time.”
West made the proclamation at the Albany, NY stop on his Yeezus Tour shouting, “I am humbly top 5 of all time: dead or alive. Let me humbly show you what I’m talking about.”
Then the rapper explained his case, revealing others that are seemingly on the same level.
“When I say genius, why is that offensive? Like I hurt somebody… Rap is all geniuses. When you go to school don’t they talk about poets, like they geniuses? What y’all witnessing; Wayne, Eminem, Drake, Jay Z, right now in front of you, doing genius work. But because we’ve got gold chains and we’ve got gold teeth they don’t wanna think we’re geniuses.”
