SHYNE POE & HOV?

This would make perfect sense & also be a great relationship if it happens to be true!




According to AllHipHop, sources have said that Jay-Z went over to Rikers Island on Friday to meet with rapper Shyne aka Jamal Barrow but known now as Moses Levi since converting to Judaism while in jail for almost 10 years now for the shooting at a NYC nightclub involving Diddy where people suffered injuries.




Jay-Z's visit was to discuss business with the former Bad Boy member & offer him a deal with Jigga's label Roc Nation!





No word if there's any validity to this story but so far it's looking like it can be true since Shyne was granted parole and will be released in October.



There is a lot of potential there. A whole lot. I could see this union happenin.

FOXY BROWN GOT SPECIAL TREATMENT WHILE IN JAIL???

People are fuming over the fact that Brooklyn rapper Foxy Brown may have gotten special treatment while incarcerated at Riker's Island for violating her probation in several high profile assault cases in 2006, unlike her rap mate/rival Lil Kim!

The New York Corrections Department has finally issued a statement addressing the issue and denied that she received preferential treatment while in jail.

The New York Post reported first that prison officials hung out in Foxy's cell, brought her meals and make up, gave her unlimited TV and phone privileges and even let a photo shoot for XXL magazine happen while she was serving nine months at Riker's .

Department Spokesman Stephen Morello responded, "Inmates were entitled to wear their own clothing. That's her choice. The interviews were approved by the (Department of Correction's) Department of Media Services. We do it as a matter of routine."

She lucked out being able to wear her Fendi scarves and Versace shades. Can't be mad. But it definitely ain't right!
