Faith Evans Divorcing Husband Of 14 Years

Mike Rowfone — Mon, 23 May 2011 19:45:55 +0000

Faith Evans is divorcing her husband Todd Russaw. The singer and record company exec married in 1997, but separated in 2005. She has cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for filing for divorce.

They have two children together, Joshua, 13, and Ryder, 4, who was born after the couple officially separated. She asked for sole physical custody of the kids, but joint legal custody in the papers.

Evans asked for Russaw to get written permission to take the children out of California.

In January 2004, the couple was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and cocaine and an improper tag violation during a traffic stop outside of Atlanta. They agreed to enroll in a 13-week drug rehabilitation program. SOURCE

Mike Rowfone — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 21:29:51 +0000

Fonzworth Bentley is back on his music grind, and he’s brought Faith Evans along for the ride. Diddy’s former manservant just dropped this song, and it’s nowhere near as bad as you would expect.

We will gladly go on record as saying that this track reminds us of early Outkast…

Fonzworth’s new C.O.L.O.U.R.S. mixtape is due out April 22nd.

Diddy, Faith Evans & 112 “I’ll Be Missing You” [MUSIC VIDEO]

It’s hard to believe that 14 years have passed since The Notorious B.I.G. was gunned down in Los Angeles. A few months after Big’s death, his friend and label head, Puff Daddy, as he was then known, released a tribute called “I’ll Be Missing You.”

The song featured Biggie’s wife Faith Evans and labelmates 112 lamenting the loss of their loved one over a sample of The Police’s “Every Breath You Take.”

“I’ll Be Missing You” was an instant success, debuting at number one on Billboard’s pop charts.

Raekwon Apologized To Biggie For “Biters” Skit Before He Died

WHHH Hot 96.3 — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 20:13:02 +0000

A few years ago TheUrbandaily.com conducted a candid interview with Kandi Burruss of RHOA where she recalled meeting the late Notorious B.I.G. before he was killed. In her interview she said that Biggie apologized for comments he made about her group Xscape in his underground hit “Dreams (I’m Just Playin.”).

Now it appears that Mr. Wallace wasn’t the only one trying to make things right before that fateful March 9th day in 1997. Top 9 Music Videos Of The 90s Way back in 1995 Raekwon of The Wutang Clan released his classic album, Only Built For Cuban Linx. Outside of the extraordinary lyrics and production the album had its fair share of controversy. On one skit, “Shark Niggas (Biters),” The Chef and Ghostface made some subliminal comments aimed at Notorious B.I.G for “bitin Nas’ album cover.”

While it was a dubious comparison (Big had his daughter T’Yanna on the cover of Ready To Die and Nas had a photo of himself as a child on the cover of Illmatic) the jab was pretty obvious. Kid ‘N Play Reunite On TV One’s “Way Black When” Fast forward to 2011 and Biggie is no longer with us, but Raekwon has remade Big’s “Everyday Struggle” with Big’s widow Faith Evans. While we’re glad that there is no longer any bad blood we had to get Raekwon to shed some light on how it all came about. During our sit down for his upcoming album Shaolin vs Wutang Raekwon told us a story of meeting B.I.G in L.A two days before he died.

Faith Evans Says She Is Going To Pray For Lil’ Kim

Mike Rowfone — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 21:57:50 +0000

The Lil’ Kim/Faith Evans feud goes further back than Biggie Vs. 2Pac and has also lasted longer. While both women are celebrating recent music releases Faith told Hiphopnews 24/7 “No I never really had any contact with Kim on a personal level other than when I first met her back in the day. [laughs] The last time I saw her was at Puff’s white party…I’m not really on the scene like that too much.” “I pray for her, I think she’s a great artist and I look forward to her new music.” Their beef comes from both of them being “in love” with The Notorious B.I.G at the same time. Kim was considered the side-chick while Faith married the late rapper. It seems like either Faith is over their squabble or never participated in it.

Faith Evans dropped her most recent album, Something About Faith, late last year, but the album quickly slipped under the radar, which is a shame. Faith has been one of the most consistent female R&B vocalists in recent years.

Keri Hilson Gets Raunchy In “The Way You Love Me” [VIDEO]

Mike Rowfone — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 19:45:49 +0000

Keri Hilson has finally turned her whore swag on.

And it goes all the way to 11.

In the video for her new single “The Way You Love Me,” Hilson puts it plain and simple that “this ain’t no Pretty Girl Rock,” in reference to her previous single.

Joined by her “crew” of Faith Evans, Dawn from Dirty Money, and JoJo (really???), Keri lets her freak flag fly freely and frequently.

Keri’s over-the-top attempt at a sexy video falls flat and leaves us wondering why our office suddenly was overwhelmed by the stench of stank-ho while watching this video.
