Jay Z Out And About Amidst Split With Business Partner And Crazy Rumors

Jay Z spotted out and about in Manhattan 3
Jay Z must’ve really had some fun in the sun over Memorial Day weekend because the 44-year-old mogul was spotted in New York City today looking sun-kissed in his first public appearance since his trip to the Hamptons. And if current reports are true, Jay may have needed the vacay.
The New York Daily News are reporting that Jay and his longtime business manager, John Meneilly, have gone their separate ways. While sources say Jay essentially fired John and that he didn’t want to leave, others say the split was amicable.
Either way, John was part of the rapper’s “day one” crew and was very instrumental in launching his Rocawear clothing line, Roc Nation brand and the historic Samsung/Magna Carta Holy Grail deal. So if true, it’ll definitely be interesting to see what Jay does next without his right hand.
Meanwhile, on the home front, crazy rumors continue to spread in an attempt to tarnish the Carters’ picture perfect image. First, the rumors alleged that Jay was cheating on Beyoncé with Rachel Roy (which caused the Solange fight) and now Beyoncé is allegedly cheating on Jay with her bodyguard Julius.
According to Star Magazine (side-eye central),
“Jay definitely thinks that there was and may still be something romantic going on between Bey and Julius,” an insider tells Star of the hip-hop mogul, whose own rumored cheating was the reported cause of Solange’s attack. “He wanted to fire Julius last February, but Beyonce said, ‘Julius isn’t going anywhere.’
Despite being subject to numerous cheating rumors himself, Jay is, nonetheless, “very jealous” of his wife’s friendship with Julius — and friends believe he may have a reason to be.
“They’ve spent a lot of time together behind closed doors,” the source explains. “He’s even stayed in her hotel room.”
We wonder if the Jay and Bey are somewhere, like:
because we definitely are!

Terrence Howard OWES Ex-Wife Michelle Over $325K In Alimony And Legal Fees, DUMPED By Legal Team


 photo thowardsmichesd.jpg
Troubled actor Terrence Howard is being dragged back to court by his ex-wife, who claims he's late on all of his alimony payments.  Get the lawsuit deets inside and find out why Terrence's own legal team wants out.

Michelle Howard, the ex-wife of upcoming "Empire" star Terrance Howard who's accused him of violence in the past, is taking him to court for missed alimony payments.
According to new legal documents, Michelle claims  Terrence owes her $325K in spousal support and another $106K for her attorneys and accountant fees. She says he's missed 49 spousal support payments since the divorce became final over 2 years ago.  Sheesh.
But here's the catch. Terrence may have a hard time finding legal representation since his own lawyers want off the case.   He reportedly owes them too! They've filed their own docs asking a judge to relieve them of their duties because of "a total and complete break down in communications."

Nas INVESTS In Higher Education With “The Nas Scholarship Fund”


 photo nasfund.png
“I know I can…be what I wanna be” Nas wants to help college grads transition to the real world successfully. Get the deets on how he’s making it happen inside….
Well here’s some good news. You know how hard it is for a college grad to land their first job after graduating and now it just got a little easier.
Nasir Jones is all about street dreams..and now he's about college dreams.  He's making a huge investment in higher education by offering college graduates The Nas Scholarship Fund. Nas’ investment company Queensbridge Venture Partners has teamed up with educational company Koru to assist graduates in making the transition into successful careers. Koru is a program that helps grads with landing their career goals, providing job training and placement. And with the backing of Nas’ investment company, the program plans to expand to reach more students.
The Nas Scholarship Fund will grant chosen students with financial aid. And not only that…select grads will also have the Queensbridge rapper as their very own real-world coach.
In a statement, Nas (who dropped out of school in the 8th grade) expressed how anxious he is to work with students saying,
“I’m inspired to support Koru participants because I know how hard it can be to carve out your path and purpose in life. It takes conviction, hard work and the right network. The young people going through Koru are gritty, book smart and street smart. The Koru program gives them an opportunity to put those smarts to work. I can’t wait to work directly with them and share what I’ve learned through my own life experiences.
More deets are on Koru’s official website.
And in other Nas news…his music documentary “Time Is Illmatic” will premier globally soon. In the meantime, U.S. viewers can expect to see the film in theaters in October. Nice.

Indiana Pacers Star Paul George SLAM DUNKED With PATERNITY SUIT From Alleged Ex-Stripper


 photo rerre334434343.png
As he preps for one of the biggest games of his career this Saturday, Indiana Pacers small forward Paul George has been hit with a paternity suit by a former stripper he "dated".  More inside....
While Indiana Pacers baller Paul George gives the Miami Heat a run for their money in the NBA conference finals, the good folks down at Manhattan Family Court are looking to get some one-on-one action with the baller.
Former Tootsie’s Cabaret stripper Daniela Rajic, 24, claims her daughter Olivia (born May 1st) is the child of Paul. She recently filed a paternity suit and has moved to Manhattan where she is now a full-time mom.
A source told Page Six, “Paul and Daniela saw each other a number of times over the course of a few months in Miami last summer. She became pregnant, and their daughter was born on May 1. She has already undertaken a paternity test, and there’s no question he is the father. The court is still expected to order an official DNA test.”
For his part, Paul is not denying the child or giving Daniela a hard time. At least not in public. You'll recall that there werereports he offered her $1 Million to have an abortion. A claim he denies. In a previous statement, he said, “If and when there is legal confirmation that I am the father, I will fully embrace my responsibilities.”
And now that the baby is born....it looks like he may get the confirmation he needs once tests results are in.
The case is currently before Family Court Judge Matthew Cooper and we will keep you posted.

Karrueche RESPONDS To Being Labeled A “Side Chick”


 photo kaeside1.png
Chris Brown’s main chick (we believe...for now) Karrueche Tran has responded to those who label her his side chick. Find out what she had to say inside…
While Chris Brown sits behind barsKarrueche is defending her reputation after being labeled a side chick.
As we all know, Karrueche has been stanning for her on-again/off-again R&B singing boyfriend, attending court hearings with Breezy’s mom and accepting his jail calls while he professes how much he loves her. But, their relationship has always been one we questioned. One minute Breezy wants Rihanna then the next he’s boo’d up with Kae.
Although she has had to deal with her fair share of public humiliation (after Breezy released an intimate docu-video expressing his love for Rihanna & Kae and the strees it causes), we didn't exactly look at Kae as being a “side chick.”
 photo kaeside2.png
But VH1 conjured up a list of Hip Hop’s most notorious side chicks and Karrueche was at the very top of their rankings. Joining her on the mistresses of Hip Hop list were rapper Lil Kim, “LAHH ATL” star Joseline Hernandez, video vixenKarrine Steffans, one of Diddy’s baby mamas Sarah Chapman and Ludacris’ baby mama Tamika Fuller, to name a few.
Kae took to her Instagram to express how embarrassed she is by making this list, but confirmed she’s happy with herself, flaws and all. She posted,
when no one understands you.. they misinterpret you.. judge you.. label you.. this is embarrassing to see, but I can do nothing but laugh because at the end of the day you can say whatever you want about me.. Label me however you please.. Your words do not define who I am. I'm happy with myself.. Flaws..wrong choices..mistakes and all and that's all that matters. I usually don't speak up on shit like this but whatever. I have family that has to see shit like this. I don't even think we're all on the same page as to what a "side chick" really is.. Either way

Over the weekend, Usher hit the dance floor at a wedding in NY and who does he bring along with him? His manager turned girlfriend Grace Miguel. Also, T.I. posted a threatening message on his Instagram…then quickly deleted it. Find out what it said and peep the pics of Usher cutting a rug inside…
Looks like things are getting serious between Usher and his manager turned girlfriend Grace Miguel. Grace accompanied Usher at Justin Bieber’s manager's (Scott Braun) brother’s wedding in New York over the weekend. Must be getting serious when you +1 at a friend's wedding.

And of course, Biebz was there.
You’ll recall Scooter Braun is the guy who received a verbal lashing from Lil Wayne days ago, over rumors that Scooter was talking negatively about his YMCMB artist Lil Twist.
“The Voice” judge (who’s Team Usher contestant recently won the competition) hopped on the dance floor to bustsome of his signature moves, as wedding guests cheered him on.

It even looks like he busted out a throwback dance move, the Macarena.

Reason Jay Z, Beyonce Did Not Attend Kanye West, Kim Kardashian's Wedding Revealed
Jay Z and Beyonce did not attend Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s wedding Saturday (May 24) because Rachel Roy was going to be attending the event, according to a source quoted in an eonline story today (May 27).  
Before attacking Jay Z in a Standard Hotel elevator earlier this month, Solange Knowles reportedly yelled at Roy, Dame Dash's former wife, during a Met Gala after party. 
Solange's May 5 confrontation with Roy, Dame Dash's former wife, was allegedly about Jay Z wanting to attend a Rihanna after-party at Up & Down.
Solange reportedly believed Roy was going to be at the event and that Solange thought that Jay Zwas getting “too close” to his former business partner’s ex-wife.
The site says that Rob Kardashian did not attend his sister’s nuptials because he did not want people to see him given his recent struggles with his weight.
Photos of Roy are as follows:
