After taking offense to Em's lyrical tirade on "Bagpipes From Baghdad," Cannon took to his blog with a lenghty post firing back at Eminem.
When asked by a paparazzi what she thought about Eminem's comments, Carey replied "Who?...I don't eat candy."
There you have it folks, the comeback of the year.
His previous studio album, 2004's "Encore," sold 711,000 copies in its first week.
His best performer was his second album, "The Marshall Mathers LP," which opened with sales of almost 1.8 million copies in 2000 earning it a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest-selling Hip Hop album ever.
Dolla Shooter Claims Self-Defsense, Admits To Shooting
The man who allegedly shot and killed up-and-coming rapper "Dolla" has been charged with three crimes -- two counts of assault with a firearm and one count of murder.
His attorney claims his client opened fire after feeling threatened by the rapper and his entourage during a chance encounter in the restroom of a Beverly Center restaurant.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Aubrey Louis Berry, 23 , a promoter who had had an altercation with Roderick "Dolla" Anthony Burton II, at an Atlanta strip club earlier this month, fired at Burton, 21, and two other people who were with him.
“This is not a murder case,” said Berry’s attorney, Howard R. Price.
“At worst it’s a manslaughter case, at best it’s a case of self defense,” he said.
However, L.A. County prosecutors have charged Berry with one count of murder and two counts each of assault with a firearm.
"Our prosecutors believe the evidence was sufficient for a murder filing," said Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.
Price said Berry and Burton were involved in an altercation at the Platinum 21 Adult Entertainment club in Atlanta.
Price says Burton and a few members of his crew allegedly beat up Berry.
Price described the meeting as a “chance encounter:” Berry was meeting with business associates at the eatery, and Burton and his crew had just arrived at the mall after getting off a flight from Atlanta.
Price alleges that the rapper made verbal threats against Berry, who decided to leave the restaurant.
When he got to the mall’s valet parking area, Burton and two other people followed him, the attorney said. Berry thought Burton was reaching for his waistband and fired his weapon.
According to reports, Berry is cooperating with authorities and has a permit in either the state of Georgia or the city of Atlanta to carry a concealed weapon.
Berry says he brought the gun to L.A. in a lock box and that he was at the airport to catch a previously scheduled flight to attend his sister's medical school graduation.
Berry's lawyer denies claims that his client followed Burton and insisted Berry had been in L.A. for a "few days."
Berry is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday. His bail has been set to $5,000,000.
This is officially album push-back number 5; Cash Money nor Lil Wayne have released a statement regarding the album set-backs.
Whenever Rebirth, aka Weezy Rock, finally hits shelves you can expect features from Fall-Out Boy, Avril Lavigne and Young Money Signee, Kevin Rudolf.
Jay-Z had one contractual album left with the label, presumably the "Blue Print 3" release. However, it appears as if Jay is ready to move on and will allegedly be releasing the highly anticipated LP via his Live Nation partnership, Roc Nation.
Speaking to RapRadar.com, Jay confirms the move which allegedly ran him about $5 Million.
Doug and I spoke directly and had one of the most unique "negotiations" ever.Doug won the toss but, we both won in the end..
I thank him for allowing me to be a completely independent artist. Not every artist can say they own or are given the opportunity to own all of their music."
This may come as yet another blow to Def Jam as the struggling label may soon be slammed with a lawsuit by it's former co-founder, Russell Simmons.
