Drake has long pronounced his love for the late Aaliyah, tattooing the singer’s face on his back and wearing an earpiece baring her image during all of his shows. Back in the summer of 2012, Drizzy dropped a song featuring unreleased vocals from her, and revealed that soon, an entire collaborative album with himself and unheard music from Aaliyah would be released. Plenty of delays and negative comments from people close to her and not so close (like fans) later, the project has been officially kicked to the curb. OVO’s in-house producer Noah ’40’ Shebib dropped the news in a new interview with Vibe, saying, “The world reacting to Drake’s involvement so negatively, I just wanted nothing to do with it. Ultimately, I wasn’t comfortable and didn’t like the stigma.” “We released [‘Enough Said’], but I was seven songs deep,” the producer added. “[Aaliyah’s] mother saying, ‘I don’t want this out,’ was enough for me. I walked away very quickly.” Damn, I wanted to hear this!

Insane Clown Posse Sues FBI For Improper Labeling Of Their Juggalos As A Gang
Some artists are lucky enough to have such hardcore fans, that radio and TV play mean little to nothing, as they can make a full living off the fans buying tickets and merchandise. Insane Clown Posse is one such group, with their loyal followers, the Juggalos. Unfortunately. the Juggalos go so hard that the FBI recently labeled them a “loosely organized hybrid gang,” and naturally, the ICP guys are PISSED. ICP say that the 2011 FBI report has led to ‘unwarranted harassment’ of their fans by law enforcement, and they want it to end ASAP. They even have several fans as a party to the suit, citing various examples of the harassment, like one that’s been stopped multiple times by cops because of his ICP clothing, and another that was forced to remove his Juggalo tattoos in order to enlist in the military. ICP says the FBI report violates their constitutional right to free speech as well as their right to associate with whoever they want.

So Sad: Shrinks Preparing To Tell Daughter Of Venezuelan Soap Star Her Parents Were Murdered
The 5-year-old daughter of murdered Venezuelan soap star Monica Spear still doesn’t know her parents are dead. The girl’s family has hired psychologists to prepare her for the traumatizing news. Spear and her ex-husband Henry Thomas Berry were murdered by gunshot this week by highway robbers near the town of Puerto Cabello after their car broke down. Their 5-year-old daughter was present, but she was able to survive the attack with a bullet wound to the leg. Family sources tell TMZ, “the daughter’s not fully aware of what happened … she currently believes her parents are just “sleeping.” Also, psychologists are now working closely with the toddler to soften the blow once her family tells her the truth … very shortly.” As for funeral arrangements, the ceremony and burial will take place in Venezuela later this week. So sad. RIP.
