DMX SUED OVER BOTCHED COMEBACK TOUR

DMX is on the hook for another $630,000 -- this according to a booking agency which claims X's legal problems torpedoed a lucrative international comeback tour ... and now, it's suing to get its money back.

The booking agency in question -- a company called Heavy Rotation -- filed the lawsuit in New York, claiming it struck an exclusive year-long deal with DMX in 2011 to book the rapper's concerts ... anywhere on the planet.

But according to the lawsuit, DMX was plagued with legal problems from the start -- a traffic violation in August, and two nasty child support disputes ... which led to a lien on the rapper's passport, preventing him from performing overseas.

According to the suit, HR bent over backwards to fix the legal issues -- coughing up nearly a hundred grand to cover bail, child support, and a slew of other legal bills ... hoping it would clear the way for the tour, a task that included lifting the lien on X's passport.

But HR claims its efforts were in vain -- because DMX continued to cause problems, hiring outside management that tried to book DMX on shows within the United States ... violating X's agreement with HR. On top of that, X couldn't resolve his passport issues ... and all concerts had to be canceled.

X's manager Jason tells a different story -- claiming DMX chose to sever all ties with HR after it put the rapper at risk with some unsavory business practices.

Still, HR claims it lost $749,285 on the deal gone bad -- and it wants the money back, stat.

I also went to meet him. Then some guys accused us of shooting without settling them. They insisted that we should pay. I just ignored them and left. They then attempted to rough handle the generator operator, he pointed at me that I was in charge.

They left him and came to me. One of them said he would slap me.I dared him. I told him he would not go unpunished if he should lay his hands on me. Before I knew it, a slap landed on my face.

I turned and gave him two slaps. That was how things became rough. My crew confronted them.I noticed those guys attacked us under the influence of alcohol.

One of them hit me with a stick.I was actually caught off guard but thank God,the stick only hit my hand.That was when I sustained bruise.

We had to call the police.They took to their heels when they heard police were coming.We went to the station to lodge a report,wrote our statement,and fortunately for us,we caught one of them.

He was detained for some days.His parents came to beg us to release him that it wasn’t long he lost his father.Later, he was released.

When asked, some people alleged that you are stubborn and have a razor mouth and that is why you were set up; she said It is normal for people to say anything when an incident like this happens. I know I have a sharp mouth, our mouth is meant for talking. I don’t go beyond my boundary. I believe it just happened, I wasn’t set up.

RAY J SITTING ON "A TON OF" WHITNEY HOUSTON SEX TAPES

Ray J is sitting on “a ton of sexually explicit photos and videos” starring he and the late Whitney Houston, an insider exclusively tells this week’s edition of Star magazine.

    The Houston family has “been in contact with Ray and told him they do not want any photos or videos painting her in a bad light to come out,” the source said, adding the famous family “explained to Ray that now is the time to honor Whitney, not drag her legacy down.”
    The insider said the younger brother of singer Brandy has “been stalling” to sell, or hand them over, them to Whitney’s family “because he knows he’s sitting on a gold mine.”
    The late Houston “adored” Ray J, the insider said of the the hip-hop hunk, whose name is synonymous with his 2007 sex tape with Kim Kardashian.
    The late singer, who dated the 31-year-old stud on and off in her final years, “loved doting on him and would have done anything he asked — including making a sex tape,” the insider said. Source

Ray J is probably lying about the existence of sex tapes. Unlike Kim Kardashian, Whitney was too smart to let him film her in the act . Goes a long way to show what people will do to keep their name in the news.

I will always give credit to Tango With Me,the one I did with Genevieve although I did a couple of movies before that.It was a great move for me and that really put me on the map so to say.

I got an invitation to read for a role by director Mamud Balogun,apparently he had an idea of the kind of character he needed.He showed me the story and I simply fell for it because it was something that bordered on our everyday life that a lot of people shy away from

Asked,what was it like for you acting with Genevieve;he said It was a great experience and my first time of acting with her.She is very amazing and down-to-earth.

She is professional and she brought out the best in me.

A lot of people think she is a snob and egocentric but that’s a complete opposite of who she really is.She is a thorough professional in what she does that made it a lot easier for me.

ABUJA BIG BABE RUNS MAD DURING LOVE-MAKING

This is not the real picture

 

She was a young and pretty babe with the telecommunications outfit, MTEL years back.That was until it folded up and she went into private business.

Meanwhile,it was while there that Teju Salau met and started dating an Edo born young man simply known as Kingsley.

According to reports,the guy came from one of the Local Governments that borders Ondo State.

The guy had an ambition to travel abroad and after much pressure,the lady helped him in facilitating the trip as well as financing same.

Based on their love and the help he received, the guy was alleged to have suggested that they had a blood covenant that they would never be separated and that they would wait for each other and marry each other.

While the lady agreed,her more circumspect mother was said to have been seriously against the idea but Teju,went ahead and had the blood covenant all the same.

Weeks after they had sworn the oath,the guy was granted visa to go to China.

According to members of Teju’s family,the guy was always calling when he first left.That was about seven years ago.

Gradually things however changed as his calls reduced and at a point he was no longer calling at all.Even when Teju called,he would either not pick at all or he be very cold towards her.

Efforts by the babe to talk to his family members back home in Edo state proved futile as they also told Teju that the guy was not in touch.At a point they even accused her of supporting him to run away from his responsibilities to his parents.

Family sources gathered that when the guy had been gone for so long and he was not forthcoming,Teju tried to go into another relationship.

Each time someone professed love and she accepted,once the relationship got to the level of fondling each other,she starts behaving abnormally.This was the situation for her first four lovers and three of them left thinking she had mental problem.

Only one of them attempted to confirm whether she lied when she told him that she had a blood covenant.

According to our source,the situation took her to several churches as well as spiritual homes all in a bid to break the covenant.

Weeks back,the lady, believing things were now okay with her had gone on a date with a suitor after which they ended up in her Lugbe Abuja apartment.

Sources gathered that the lovebirds were in the process of lovemaking when the guy noticed that the lady was behaving funny.

All efforts to calm her down proved abortive and he had to raise an alarm before the girl was eventually rescued.

The truth is the lady has not been able to regain her normal mental state.
