The Dirty Laundry for February 10, 2011

The Dirty Laundry

The ABC Boys Bust-Down Dorrough
I’m really starting to believe that there is a Hip Hop law enforcement conspiracy, because it’s really starting to look like they’re specifically targeting rappers! Dorrough is the latest victim of the ABC Boys. He was arrested on Tuesday after 10 DEA agents raided his Dallas home looking for weapons and drugs! And you know they recently busted Juelz Santana’s studio and Waka Flocka’s home!

Ja Rule Catches A Little Break
Speaking of being on the wrong side of the law, Ja Rule just bought some time before heading to prison for two years! He pleaded guilty last year to attempted weapons possession after police found a loaded gun in his car. His sentence has been pushed back about a month to March 9.

The Game Has To Ante Up
The Game also had some legal trouble of his own. An L.A. judge has ordered him to pay $91,000 to a jewelry company that he had purchased $200,000 worth of jewelry from back in ’07 and ’08. The jewelry includes a couple of bracelets, chains and earrings!

Fantasia Will Be Making Her Big Screen Debut
Things aren’t all bad though, Fantasia just got some good news! She’ll be making her big screen debut this Christmas, playing gospel music icon, Mahalia Jackson!

Rihanna’s Hitting The Road
If you’re a Rihanna fan, you can check her out live an in person very soon! She announced that she’s hitting the road for the North American leg of her “Loud” tour. Unfortunately, if you’re a fan here in the Carolinas, the closest she comes to us is the first date, June 4th in Baltimore, Maryland!

But you can catch Ri Ri performing live during the half-time show at the NBA All-Star game on February 20th in Los Angeles, California.

On Your Tube
On your television today, Jennifer Hudson will be on “Oprah,” performing her new single, “Where You At.” Justin Bieber will be on with Gayle King, Snooki will be on “Letterman,” and Seth McFarlane, the creator of “The Celevland Show” and “Family Guy” will be on “Conan.”

Charts
As for the charts, 11-weeks after it’s release, Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday” is the nation’s #1 selling album! It’s the first album by a female rapper to hit #1 since Eve’s 1999 debut!
