Madonna got booed massively last night in Romania. And the reason why:

....that is, until she denounced the pandemic discrimination of Gypsies. Then, the crowd turned on her.

There are many videos on Youtube on the concert form last night, including this one. Though I don't think it's her getting booed.


Moving on, a misleading headline from ALLHipHop.com

So, are the Black Eyed Peas banning Muslims from their concerts? Um, not the case:

The government of Malaysia has banned Muslims from attending a Black Eyed Peas concert in the country, because the event is sponsored by alcohol company Guinness.

The government issued the ban after learning that the Black Eyed Peas would be celebrating the 250th anniversary of Guinness’ first brewery as part of a concert at a theme park in Kuala Lumpur on September 25.

“The party is only open to non-Muslims aged 18 years and above,” a representative for the Ministry of Information, Communication and Culture said. “Muslims cannot attend. Non-Muslims can go and have fun.”

The de fact religion in Malyasia is Islam.....the government tells you what it is and you do it, especially in regards to religion.

Kind of misleading indeed from an otherwise cool crew from Chuck Jigsaw and company.

Jadakiss explains how he wasn't apart of the guys in his apartment who were raided by the feds a few days ago.

The preview for Drake's "Successful" video.

Beyonce' to perform at the MTV Music Awards . Jay-Z and Lady Gaga will too, and it makes sense for Hova. Two days after Blueprint 3 and with the VMA's back in NYC, it makes sense.

More to come later. For now, Peace.
