A$AP Rocky and Chanel Iman Break Off Engagement

Hip-hop’s favorite fashion couple has sadly booked a one-way flight to Splitsville. Harlem’s sultan of swag A$AP Rocky and Victoria’s Secret supermodel Chanel Iman have reportedly called off their six-month engagement and relationship of more than one year. “They are no longer together,” a source told E!

T-Pain Throws Shade At Kanye West’s Auto-Tune Use

Who would’ve thought we’d still be talking about Auto-Tune in 2014? Welp, T-Pain is still claiming king of the vocal manipulation software that Jay Z denounced five years ago, in the process snubbing the other half of the throne, Kanye West.

Wesley Snipes Nabs a Role in Bank Robber Remake Film

A year-and-a-half after his release from prison, Wesley Snipes’s big-screen presence has been a bit underwhelming.

Following 2013’s The Expendables, it’ll be Snipes second role after serving three years in prison for willful failure to file federal income tax returns.
