The Lowdown for June 29, 2010

No Playboy Bunnies For Drake
Drizzy is being sued by Playboy for copyright infringement. Playboy Enterprises claims Drake's "Best I Ever Had" contains a sample of the song "Falling in Love" by Hamilton, Joe Frank and Dennison/Reynolds, which is the property of Hugh Hefner's Playboy Music Inc. and Playboy Enterprises. Hefner wants to stop sales and distribution of the record and doesn't want Drake to make any more money from it. Guess he won’t be invited to a party at the Playboy Mansion anytime soon!

Lil Wayne Is A Proud Papa
Lil Wayne sent a "shout out" to his Young Money family at Sunday night's BET Awards via his website WeezyThanxYou.com. Both Drake and Nicki Minaj thanked Wayne during their acceptances speeches. Weezy also wished fans a good summer and thanked them for the cards and letters he's getting each day, saying, "They mean the world to me."

Nicki Minaj Sounds Suspect
Nicki Minaj says she’s no bi-sexual! She spoke to Vibe Magazine and said "I don’t date women and I don’t have sex with women." Which seems really suspect, seeing as though 1) her name has “ménage” in it 2) she said she wanted to steal Cassie from Diddy and 3) she had former lesbian Amber Rose riding shotgun with her in the “Massive Attack” video! Ok Nicki, whatever you say!

Move Over Mathew Knowles
Word is Beyonce is still so upset about her father's affair and love child with 38-year-old Alexsandra Wright that it might cause problems for Mathew at Columbia Records! Supposedly things have gotten so cold between them, that people at the label reportedly think it would be best if Mathew stepped aside! Reps for Beyonce, however, are saying it ain’t true!

Fergie Wants Freedom
Word on the streets is that Fergie is leaving the Black Eyed Peas. Even though the group is on tour and they have another leg planned in early 2011, Fergie hasn't signed on for the latter part. "Things have gotten really bad with will.i.am ... His ego is out of control," said an insider. "Fergie just wants to get away from the whole thing."

Method Man Makes Good With The Man
Method Man appeared in a New York courtroom yesterday, where he pled guilty to tax evasion and immediately wrote a check for $40,000 of the $100,000 he owes. Meth’s attorney, Peter Frankel, told reporters, "When he found out about the tax issue he hired someone and immediately corrected it. He took care of it quickly like the good member of our community he is. He's not your typical rapper. He's not a troublemaker." Ok, that’s nice and all, but WTF at his lawyers comment… “He's not your typical rapper. He's not a troublemaker.” Shots fired at the rap community!

Lil Boosie Puts In Official Plea
Yesterday Lil Boosie entered a plea of not guilty to murder charges. He’s facing first degree murder charges in the death of 35-year-old Terry Boyd in October 2009. Boosie's attorney, said, "I think he meant what he said. He's absolutely not guilty. We're just going to prepare for his defense and get ready to address the charges."

Kelis Takes A Shot At Nas
Kelis spoke to a British paper about her ex-husband Nas. She was asked about her biggest disappointment and she replied, "My ex-husband." Ouch, that’s gotta hurt!

Kanye Is Being Sued

Kanye West is being sued over his song "Stronger." In a suit filed Friday in Illinois, songwriter-producer Vincent "Vince P." Peters says that he wrote the track in 2006 and played it for John Monopoly, a manager-business associate of West, at his Chicago home in 2006.
