WAS LIL WAYNE RAPED?
By Illseed
Somebody hit me up with this one as a rumor but it’s not. They wanted to ask me about Lil Wayne getting raped at the age of 11 by a woman. I don’t know the age of the girl/woman that raped him. But, he said he was raped at 11. See below.
If the woman was over the age of 17, that’s rape. I know Wayne says he loved it, but it’s very possible that he didn’t. You know, with him saying he was raped, it’s pretty clear that he was in that mental state if he used those specific terms, rather than saying he lost his virginity at 11.
50 CENT REACHES SETTLEMENT WITH TACO BELL
50 Cent and Taco Bell settled a lawsuit filed by the rapper, after the fast-food chain used his name in a commercial to promote tacos on their value menu.
The rapper sued Taco Bell for $1 million dollars in damages over a June 2008 promotion that offered 50 Cent $10,000 to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent for one day.
50 sued the fast-food chain for using his name and likeness without expressed permission and for making him the “star of a nationwide campaign” without his permission.
Both parties reached a confidential settlement yesterday (November 23) according to lawyers for the rapper.
50 Cent predicted he would emerge victorious in the court battle in a statement to AllHipHop in late June of 2008.
“When my legal team is finished with them, Taco Bell is going to have a new corporate slogan: ‘We messed with the bull and got the horns,” the rapper said in a statement.

HIPHOP HALL OF FAME SECURES $10 MILLION IN FUNDING
Representatives for the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame have announced they have secured $10 million dollars in funding for the new, Manhattan-based project.
The Hip-Hop Hall of Fame will feature artifacts from Hip-Hop’s rich history, exhibits, workshops and community outreach programs with the pioneers of rap, many of whom are on the museum’s advisory board.
The Hip-Hop Hall of Fame was originally created in 1992 as an award show that aired on BET in 1995.
The concept was created by JT “J-Train” Thompson, a Brooklyn born Queens/Harlem raised Hip-Hop entrepreneur.
“After 26 months of talks and negotiations, that yielded a few false starts and stops along the way, has come to a suitable arrangement by matching funds that may be increased,” said J.T. Thompson, the chairman and creator of the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame.
“We wanted to give the fans and the lovers of Hip Hop around the world an opportunity to give to the ‘museum cause’ and to have a ‘pride of ownership stake and voice’ in what we do at the HHHOF Museum Complex and in the communities we serve,” Thompson continued. “We have been often imitated but will never be duplicated, as Hip-Hop legends have paved the way, and our goal is to expand the culture, with ‘barrier breaking’ leadership and development internationally well into the 21st century.”
Members of the Museums Advisory Board include Kurtis Blow, Melle Mel, Kool Herc and a number of other Hip-Hop pioneers.
The Hip-Hop Hall of Fame Museum and Entertainment Complex slated to open in New York City in late 2010.
