Monday #HipHop Report (#Kanye vs #Amber, #LilKim signs with #JayZ, #Fabolous and #HOT97 Summer Jam)

Kanye West Slapped Amber Rose With "Seven Figure" Gag Order

More reports on Kanye West's alleged gag order on Amber Rose have surfaced with sources claiming she is being paid at least a million dollars to remain silent.

A source revealed more details about the agreement to blogger Perez Hilton.

Sources are saying that Kanye West has signed a multi-million dollar contract with ex-girlfriend Amber Rose to "silence" her from speaking about his personal life. She reportedly agreed to never reveal any details about the rapper in return for cash. An insider says, "It's pretty common to have 'silence' agreements amongst entertainers. I heard that Amber's getting seven figures to keep her lips closed." Hmm, we wonder why Kanye is shelling out so much to keep Amber's mouth closed. What does he have to hide?? (Perez Hilton)

Initial speculation grew after a tweet from Rap-Up Magazine last week.

"Kanye has the gag order on Amber Rose. She just told us she doesn't do interviews. But she was still cool about it." (Rap-Up's Twitter)

Rose recently turned down an interview while attending a California party for Maxim Magazine.

Amber Rose busted out of her form-fitting dress on the red carpet at Maxim's Hot 100 party. But reporters had no luck getting Amber to bust out an answer to their questions, as Kanye put a gag order on his model girlfriend. (Rap-Up)

Fabolous Ready To Face Jay-Z & Ludacris At BET Awards, "I Can't Wait To Go There" 

Grammy-nominated rapper Fabolous recently shared his reaction to receiving a BET Award nomination and confirmed his attendance at this year's annual showcase.

Facing off in categories like "Best Male Hip Hop Artist" against stiff competition like Jay-Z and Ludacris, Fab said he hoped to go home with an award.

"I'm very appreciative of that," Fab said acknowledging his BET Awards nominations. "We make music and you hope that it's well received and I hope to win an award, you know, to be nominated is the first step in that so I can't wait to go there to the BET Awards, [see] the festivities, watch the great performances and see if I can bring one home." (Miss LS)

Fab has been nominated in three BET Awards categories.

Lil Kim Throws Up The Roc, Signs With Jay-Z's Roc Nation

 

According to reports, Jay will also help executive produce her Roc Nation debut.

Brooklyn's female rapper and actress Lil Kim has officially signed a record deal with Jay-Z label Roc Nation. This rumor has been floating around for a while, but earlier today, industry insiders confirmed this rumor. A major announcement should be made soon. As of press, no word on when Kim's new album will be dropping. The big homie Jay-Z is expected to be executive producing Kim's new album. Roc Nation is an entertainment, management, and music publishing company, founded in 2008 by Jay-Z. In 2009, Kanye West became the CEO. (Hip Hop Beef)
