Jlo and A-Rod Say "It's Not Over Yet"

 

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have announced they are staying together.

"We are working through some things," they said in a joint statement obtained by PEOPLE.

"They never officially broke up and talked about it but are still together. They hit a rough patch. But were not broken up," a source close to the pair tells PEOPLE.

What the Sports World have to say about Alex and JLo Breakup

 

Rodriguez, the former Major League Baseball star, and Lopez, the famous recording artist and actress, had been dating for several years. They were engaged to be married and appeared to be extremely happy.

Rodriguez and Lopez had been among the biggest power couples in pop culture. The two came close to buying the New York Mets before the NL East franchise was sold to Steve Cohen.

Who will get this $32.5M Miami mansion?

 

And while the former couple may be relieved they don’t have to deal with a divorce settlement — since they never quite walked down the aisle —  there is still the $32.5 million Miami Beach pad they bought together last summer to consider. 

The exes purchased the home on Aug. 19, under the limited liability company, Fleetwood Star Holdings, Florida property records show.

Located on the upscale Star Island, the waterfront home comes complete with 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms.

These projects include their deal with self care company Hims & Hers, which saw them become investors in the company, as well as their partnership with Fitplan, collaborating with the app to offer fitness coaching.

#MusicVideosWeLove Jay-Z - 99 Problems

 

"99 Problems" is the third single released by American rapper Jay-Z in 2004 from The Black Album. The chorus hook "I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one" is taken from the Ice-T single "99 Problems" from the album Home Invasion (1993). The hook was coined during a conversation between Ice-T and Brother Marquis of Miami-based 2 Live Crew.

The track was produced by Rick Rubin, his first hip hop production in many years. Rubin provided Jay-Z with a guitar riff and stripped-down beat that were once his trademarks. President Obama quipped in his monologue at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 27, 2013: "Some things are beyond my control. For example, this whole controversy about Jay-Z going to Cuba. It's unbelievable. I've got 99 problems and now Jay-Z is one."

Lil Wayne Facing 10 Years In Prison

 

Lil Wayne is facing 10 years in prison after the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida charged him with 1 count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon. This stems from a December 2019 incident where feds searched Wayne's private jet in Miami and found a gun and ammunition. 

Lil Wayne's attorney, Howard Srebnick, commented on the situation back in December, stating that the rapper was "cleared " to leave the airport after the search, despite drugs and guns being found aboard. His team has not provided a new statement in regards to the federal charges, but Wayne is expected to appear in court next month. 

Will Kanye West Surpass Jay-Z?

For the better part of hip-hop’s existence, it was solely considered a genre of music. We now recognize the larger cultural movement surrounding the New York-bred art form as a leading force driving growth in fashion, entertainment, food and beverage, and technology. As a result, the top 10 highest earners of 2019 on Forbes’ annual list of hip-hop’s richest account for a staggering $633,500,000 in combined earnings. And for the first time in his career, Kanye West ($150 million) has outpaced the rest of his competitors to take the top spot — leapfrogging JAY-Z by $69 million.

It was certainly a banner year for West, especially considering he claimed to be $56 million in debt just over three years ago. While earning the top spot is certainly noteworthy, his income jumped dramatically between 2018 and 2019, accounting for a net increase of $122,500,000. Although the entire industry had a great year — with the top 20 acts’ revenue increasing by 33 percent since 2018 — the huge financial increase poses an interesting question: with an album on the way, YEEZY accounting for $1.5 billion in annual sales, and a track record of exploring radical projects, will Kanye West be joining JAY-Z in the billionaire’s club?

Why Is Scareface The Most Loved Movie In Hip-Hop Culture?

The movie Scareface has been a huge staple in the hip hop community. Even rapper Jay-Z has dedicated countless rap lyrics and interludes to the film. The release of Scarface coincided with the rise of hip hop music.

The hip-hop community has single-handedly made the movie a cult classic. Even though the story of Tony Montana, a poor Cuban immigrant who quickly ascends through the ranks to become a drug kingpin, is actually a remake of a 1932 film of the same name.

Cam’ron Defends Jay-Z's Drug Dealling Days

Cam’ron has come to JAY-Z’s defense after comedian Faizon Love accused Hov of “fake dope-dealing” in a recent episode of the Hip-Hop Uncensored podcast.

JAY-Z’s oeuvre engages heavily with his drug-dealing past and he rose to prominence thanks in part to an unflinching depiction of selling cocaine in his youth. Faizon, however, recently suggested that JAY had embellished his history. “I like Jay-Z. I like him as a guy and the whole thing he created about this fake dope-dealing” he said, “That’s when I stopped liking him. This nigga ain’t sold no cocaine in his life—I don’t think he’s ever won a fight.”
