When 50 Cent waged war against Rick Ross early last year he tried a number of different tactics to win the feud, but it seems like he may be sued over one of them.

At some point during the feud, 50 Cent leaked a video of Rick Ross’ baby mother, Lastonia Leviston, in a sex tape. A commentary by 50 Cent’s Pimpin’ Curly persona was then added to the video.

AllHipHop.com reports that Lastonia Leviston is now suing 50 Cent for his use of the tape. She claims she suffered “emotional distress” as a result of the video being leaked and that 50 Cent did not have proper permission to use the tape.

Leviston started her lawsuit this week by filing a complaint in a Manhattan court February 24. It’s unclear how much money Leviston is asking for in her lawsuit.

Although Leviston is currently going through the process of filing a lawsuit, Rick Ross’s other baby mother Tia Kemp seemed to had benefit greatly from the Ross’ feud with 50 Cent.

During the feud last year Kemp was treated by the courtesy of 50 cent to a shopping spree, then released a tell-all book, and was even featured on the cover of Smooth Magazine.

Last week, a man claiming to have been the one responsible for shooting the young rapper Waka Flocka Flame sent a picture of himself with Flocka’s stolen diamond chain.

But according to MTV News, Flocka isn’t sweating it, and is instead choosing to move on.

“I don’t know [if it was actually the gunman] ’cause I didn’t even see who shot me,” said Flocka, sarcastically adding, “I thought a dog shot me. I thought a bird shot me. It’s stupid.”

Waka Flocka Flame already has a new chain to replace the old one. “This is round two,” Flocka said of the new piece.

Flocka even took the time to thank his assailant, “I ain’t worried about you. I appreciate you too. You got me sacked up, real talk. I got a stupid house off you, cars off you. I appreciate you, man.”

Waka Flocka Flame had no explanation for why a man who supposedly attempted murder would incriminate themselves, though he says he’s washed his hands of it and is going to move on. “It is what it is. Y’all said enough. I did enough…Let them live their life, I’mma live my life.”

While at the NBA All-Star Game in Dallas, Texas, Jay-Z talked to MTV about his upcoming plans to shoot more music videos for Blueprint 3 and the possibility of a new album.

“I wanna shoot ‘Venus vs. Mars’. I may shoot two. I shot ‘Run This Town’ [and 'D.O.A. (Death of Auto Tune)']. I been shooting two at the same time. I’ll probably shoot ‘Venus’ and maybe ‘A Star Is Born.’ But I definitely wanna shoot ‘Venus’. I got an amazing concept in my mind.” said Jay-Z.

Jay also discussed “Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)” with Rihanna and members of U2 performed for the “Hope For Haiti Now” telethon. “The number is ridiculous as far as the [money generated by the Hope For Haiti Now] album. I’m excited about the whole effort we put into the telethon. It’s helping real people through a real tough time, and we’ll just move on from there.”

Blueprint 3 will not be Jay’s last album. He is already talking about ideas and tracks for a new album. “I didn’t really start yet. I got a couple of scraps and I got a couple of ideas. I didn’t really go into the studio yet. I’ve been toying with ideas and direction and things like that”, Jay added, “I got one crazy record. To be honest with you, it’s crazy. I got one and we’ll build from there. Whether it comes out this year or next year, it depends on the music and how it’s coming out. I don’t really have any dates.”

Even though “How To Make It In America,” the new HBO show starring Kid Cudi, has not gone on the air yet, Cudi is already talking about eventually ending his rap career to focus just on acting.

Kid Cudi recently told New York Magazine that he plans on calling it a wrap after about four or five albums.

“I’m trying to evenly balance them out right now, but eventually I want to leave behind music and just do acting,” Kid Cudi says. “I only got into the music business to tell my story and inspire some people. I think four albums will do it, and when I’m done with my four, five albums, I’ll switch it up. Once the story is told [musically], there’s nothing else to say.”

“How To Make It In America” will be aired on HBO on Sunday, February 14 at 10 p.m.

In other news, Cudi is claiming that alcohol may have been a major factor in an attack on a fan that happened back in December.

According to TMZ.com Cudi called Michael Sharpe, who is the man he punched at his show, to apologize. He explained to Sharpe that his actions that night were brought on by alcohol.

TMZ did not recieve a response in an attempted to reach out to Cudi in regards to his phone call to Sharpe.

Punchline is an artist that we haven’t featured much on this site, which is a shame, because he is pretty damn dope. You may hear him sprinkled over the NBA Live franchise and on other places that good hip hop is warranted. This new one is under the same namesake as Snoop Dogg’s recent effort, enjoy.

I’ll be honest, I’m not looking that forward to this project because I’d rather have a Nas solo LP, but apparently that is in the works as well.

The Distant Relatives album is supposed to be released on March 16th. Of course, this is modern hip hop, where push backs are almost inevitable.
