D'BANJ CONGRATULATES DON JAZZY ON LAUNCH OF NEW LABEL

JAY-Z TALKS "SPOILED" BABY BLUE IVY

He’s been pretty quiet about his daughter Blue Ivy so far, but Jay-Z finally opened up about fatherhood during his interview on “Oprah’s Master Class: Special Addition.”

The “Empire State of Mind” rapper told Winfrey he hopes to help his little girl stay grounded by using “things I learned from my mom and things I’ve learned from raising my nephews.”

He added, “Everyone imagines they’ll be a great dad — until their [kids are] teenagers saying, ‘Get away from me, Dad. You’re embarrassing me!’”

HOW DON JAZZY SIGNED TIWA SAVAGE

The Mo’hits era is over and all parties involved are finally moving on.

We’ve seen D’banj remove himself from all things Mo’Hits, relocating overseas and signing a fresh recording deal with Mecury Records/G.O.O.D Music.

For several weeks now, questions have been asked about Don Jazzy’s future plans and if he will still hoist and fly the Mo’Hits flag with his loyal label mates .

Michael Collins, the revered sprung up a surprise last midnight, announcing a new record label and signing on the hottest female R&B act in the country!

Just this morning, Don Jazzy announced the signing of R&B-Pop singer Tiwa Savage to his new record label Mavin Records, scooping her from her former deal with events-media boss Cecil Hammond who has in the last few years overseen the singer’s career under his Flytime Promotions umbrella.

The pop act who is working to release her debut album will now feature with the former Mo’Hits clan in a new album ‘Solar Plexus’ set to be released tomorrow May 8, 2012.

Contrary to what is being speculated, about Tiwa dumping Flytime from Mavin, Cecil Hammond tells us there are no issues, insisting he  ’won’t say anything on the phone. Let’s schedule a meeting’.

However speaking with Mavin Records publicist Terfa Tilley-Gyado, he confirms that Tiwa has indeed been released by Cecil Hammond’s Flytime Promotions before signing unto MAVIN.

Mavin says Tiwa was signed two weeks ago after ending her contract with Flytime.

She had been in talks with Don Jazzy for several months, according to our investigations..

‘Yes she has been released from all contracts with Cecil’s Flytime and is now a full signee under MAVIN’, Tilley-Gyado told NET over the phone.

The status of Tiwa’s current manager Tunji ‘T Billz’ Balogun still remains uncertain as Mavin has hired a new management and PR company. Tilley-Gyado however says he cannot ascertain if Balogun will continue working with Tiwa.

‘I can’t say about that but she should retain her PR and Management team’.

All efforts to reach Tunji Balogun proved abortive as he did not pick his calls neither did he reply text messages sent to his phone.

Tiwa now joins the likes of Dr SID, D’Prince and Wande Coal who have steadily stuck behind the hit producer through the Mo’Hits saga and eventual split.

A comment on Twitter about the new development reads; This movie is gonna take a long time to play out. Don Jazzy does his own marketing. DBanj is gonna have to rely on the record company… Hmm’.

WIZ KHALIFA CONFIRMS PLANS FOR TAYLOR GANG ALBUM

Wiz Khalifa says that his crew has already finished recording a group LP.

Wiz Khalifa has confirmed plans to release a Taylor Gang album following his sophomore LP O.N.I.F.C., releasing August 28th.

During an interview with Vlad TV, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native said that the group has already finished recording the project and that all that's left is to mix the songs.

"Yeah, it’s coming right after my solo album. We’ve already got the album done. We got so many songs, man. Only thing we need to do is mix it. We got singles… Everything is there, man," he said.

Wiz, who is hitting the road this summer with label mate Mac Miller, also explained the crew's movement. He referenced their recent group cover for The Source, calling it the "most swagged out cover of the last 10 years," and said that their methods are unique to their artistry.

"It’s all about peace and love, and we’re bringing that, but we’re also bringing real hardcore creativity and music to the game, just like how the originators of music did. We’re not really sampling or taking away from anybody else’s methods. We do what we do. We’re in our own world. Nothing else even really exists to us. We’ve got all these songs that people don’t even know about, and we created a world and we’re just going to come and invade and kill everybody. They’re not even going to know what’s going on."

THE WORLD'S FASTEST MAN CRITICIZED FOR CHOOSING 'A WHITE PARTNER'

The reigning Olympic champion and record holder over 100 and 200 meters dash, dubbed as the world’s fastest man, sprinter Usain Bolt, 25, has come in for criticism from fellow black Jamaicans unhappy that he has chosen ‘a white partner,’ the Mail said.

Bolt, who has earned the reputation as a ‘ladies’ man,’ previously linked to British waitress Rebeckah Passley and Jamaican reality TV star Taneish ‘Lava’ Simpson, has now chosen for his latest girlfriend 28-year-old Slovakian-born fashion designer Lubica Slovak, and the relationship was described by friends as ‘very serious.’

The couple began dating ‘quietly’ in mid-November, making sure they were not seen together at functions and spent most evenings at Bolt’s home in a suburb of Kingston, but when a picture of them was published in the Jamaican Observer last month, online posting became filled with protests.

One said ‘Really now Usain! Some successful black men obviously suffer from a white woman complex. You too?’

The next said ‘Out of all the girls on this island you pick a snowbunny.’

Another complained ‘Another one of our men snatched.’

And another ‘These superstars will always disappoint if we depend on them to raise our racial identity.’

One reader of The Observer said ‘They make he mingle with white girls. She just divorce him and take aways his money.’

And another added ‘I hope when he’s ready to settle down he chooses a beautiful Jamaican black woman ... In the meantime have fun “responsibly”, cause some “pretty girls” just a wait if “lock u down” for the wrong reasons.’

But a friend defended the couple saying ‘Usain is a young man at the top of his game and did date a few women, but he has settled down now with Lubica. It works because they are both successful and focused. She focuses on her designs, he focuses on his sport. There is no stress in this relationship. She is a calm, very nice, industrious, busy woman. She has her own life so she isn’t demanding.’

I DID NOT THREATEN TO KILL HIM - USHER'S EX-WIFE

Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster claims she never threatened to kill the R&B superstar, but she did admit under oath to saying "I will f**k you up" ... so you can see how he might have taken it the wrong way.

Usher and Tameka have been going through a bitter legal fight  over custody of their two young children -- a fight that came to a head in a Georgia courtroom this past week.

Tameka took the stand and, as you can see in this video, was questioned by Usher's attorney about her verbal and abusive threat towards the singer -- where she allegedly said "I will kill you both," referring to Usher and his current girlfriend.

Foster went back and forth with her answer before coughing up a half-admission, saying she didn't threaten to "kill" him ... but admitting, "I did probably, out of anger, say 'I will f**k you up' and it's not acceptable."

Foster claims the menacing statement was a result of Usher gallivanting in and out of town with his new GF, which was  "embarrassing" for her in such a tight knit community.

The trial will continue next week.
