Jay Z’s ‘Blueprint’ Has Returned To Apple Music For many Jay Z fans, Tidal made its way to the list of music streaming services by default. But now, it looks like a few of the Brooklynite’s previous albums have surfaced on another streaming site. Apple Music has seen a resurrection of The Blueprint, The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse and Blueprint 2.1 on their streaming services, Complex reports. Though many have opted to buy the physical copy of their favorite album not available on Spotify or Apple Music, many have taken the more convenient route of subscribing to Tidal. No one knows for sure why Jay is allowing his music to be streamed, but many did notice the absence of some of his greatest hits in their streaming playlists. Since Jay Z’s acquisition of Tidal, several music lovers have chosen to go with a more familiar or convenient option in Apple Music or Spotify. Although Tidal has seen a big increase in subscribers recently, it’s had trouble competing with other popular streaming services. In the past months, there have been talks of Apple possibly buying out Tidal and even Mr. West tweeted his opinion saying, “Apple give Jay his check for Tidal now and stop trying to act like you Steve.” But to squash any reported negotiation talks, Apple Music executive Jimmy Iovine said, “We’re really running our own race, we’re not looking to acquire any streaming services.” Although this is a good sign for Apple Music users, Hov still didn’t give streamers access to Reasonable Doubt, his first studio album, or The Blueprint 3.

Toni Braxton Reportedly Spent Four Days In The Hospital For Lupus Toni Braxton was reportedly hospitalized for four days from symptoms related to her Lupus. The “Un-break My Heart” singer had been in an Atlanta hospital for four days, according to TMZ. Her boyfriend, rapper Birdman, reportedly jumped on a plane from his tour in Texas to be at her bedside. Braxton announced in 2010 that she had been diagnosed with Lupus, a chronic, autoimmune disease that can affect any part of the body. Lupus symptoms can include extreme fatigue, headaches, hair loss, abnormal blood clotting, fever and painful or swollen joints, according to the Lupus Foundation of America. Braxton was also hospitalized in January and December 2012. There is no word on whether Braxton admitted herself to the hospital or was brought there by ambulance. Towanda Braxton said that her sister is home and resting. "Thanks everyone for your concern, Toni is home safe & sound," Towanda tweeted. "She is currently home resting and getting ready for The Hits Tour." Tamar Braxton posted a video of her sister in what appears to be a hospital bed. "You are home SAFE and We can make you smile even when you're faking like you feel well enough to laugh at the joke," she wrote. SOURCE

Nick Gordon Found Legally Responsible In Bobbi Kristina Wrongful Death Civil Suit After Failing To Appear In Court Bobbi Kristina Brown's ex-boyfriend Nick Gordon is legally responsible for her death, a judge ruled Friday after Gordon bailed on a Fulton County, Ga., court hearing. A jury will now determine damages owed to Brown's conservator in the $50 million wrongful death civil lawsuit alleging Gordon had been responsible for injuries that preceded the aspiring singer's July 2015 death, according to the court order obtained by the Daily News. Because Gordon was a no-show after ignoring discovery requests and plaintiff motions, the judge admitted as "fact" the allegations made by Brown's estate. “You simply can’t avoid justice, and you can’t thumb your nose at a court process," estate lawyer R. David Ware told The News. "But this is more about Bobbi Kristina Brown and showing without any question that Mr. Gordon is legally responsible for her injuries and death. We look forward to having a jury tell us what that’s worth." The estate’s attorneys cited Gordon’s April "Dr. Phil" interview — during which Gordon, 26, admitted he’d “ignored this lawsuit and its consequences” amid other revelations concerning Brown’s drug use and eventual death — as evidence he had “thumbed (his) nose” at the court, tweeted a reporter from NBC affiliate 11Alive, which first reported the news. "It’s been a long time. They should have been gotten him. He should have been arrested," Brown's aunt Leolah Brown told the news station following the hearing. "He's ignorant; he's arrogant. He thinks he's above the law. He's not." Just a week after Gordon’s drama-filled daytime TV interview, Brown’s father, Bobby Brown, added his name to the wrongful death lawsuit. Gordon’s interview also prompted a conservator for Bobbi Kristina Brown’s estate to file a renewed motion against Gordon for his decision to chat about the case on television. “The defendant ignores this Court's mandates but freely discusses his role in the incident which led to the horrific injuries to decedent Bobbi Kristina,” the court document stated. The only daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston was found in a bathtub Jan. 31, 2015 face-down and unresponsive, and later died in hospice care after a six-month coma. Her death resulted from drowning and mixed drug intoxication, according to the autopsy report unsealed earlier this year. Brown's conservator's multi-million dollar wrongful death suit, meanwhile, alleged Gordon had caused her brain damage by knocking her out with a drug cocktail and leaving her in a tub filled with cold water. Gordon, who has repeatedly maintained his innocence, has not been charged criminally. A criminal investigation into Brown's death remains ongoing.

Lil Wayne has fresh beef with Birdman for letting Tyga -- one of Wayne's artists -- out of his contract without even the slightest discussion. Sources close to Wayne tell TMZ, the rapper is fuming after Tyga was cut loose, opening the door for him to sign a new deal with Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music. Problem is ... he was on Young Money, where Weezy's a founding partner and 49% owner. Even though Birdman owns a majority stake, Wayne feels his John Hancock was necessary to seal the deal, and had he been consulted ... he would have vetoed it anyway. See? Kylie's not the only who thinks Tyga is a hot commodity.

Andre 3000 Insinuated That Drake Doesn't Write His Own Lyrics Move over Meek Mill, there are other rappers who want to shade Drake, and they probably have a better shot at it than you. If you’re interested in music at all, then you know we’ve all been living in desperate anticipation of Frank Ocean’s new album, Blond, and it’s finally, finally out. Well, Andre 3000 did a verse with the lyrics: "After 20 years in / I’m so naive I was under the im-pression that everyone wrote they own verses / It’s comin’ back different and yea that shyt hurts me / I’m hummin’ and whistlin’ to those not deserving / I’m stumbled and lift every word, was I working just way too hard?" He could of course be talking about anybody, but since Meek Mill tried to start some sh*t by accusing Drake of not writing his own lyrics, all eyes will probably be turning Drizzy’s way. Does Drake write his own verses? The world will likely never know, but considering how basic they are on Views, it would be a little absurd to pay somebody for this: “Yeah, okay, you like it When I get, aggressive, tell you to Go slower, go faster Like controlla, controlla Yeah, like controlla, controlla.” These are known facts tho …… And a Complex article: The center of attention in the conspiracy of Drake's ghostwriting allegations, as fueled by Meek Mill and OG Maco, is an Atlanta rapper named Quentin Miller. But while Miller's name appears suspiciously in song credits for a lot of Drizzy's recent work, it would seem, especially from past interviews, that the Boy has a history of, at the very least, collaborating on his verses with other writers. First there's Nickelus F, the rapper who helped usher Drake into the game and whom Drake himself cites as a huge influence and one of the reasons he seriously pursued rapping. Soon after Drake's rise, rumors swirled of Nickelus F providing more than inspiration, and during an interview back in 2010 Complex asked him about it straight up. Complex: Oh, so it's like sometimes you might help write a hook, or if it's part of the verse you might help start off a verse, or write some of the verse? Nickelus F: Yeah, I've done that. I know the rumor going around. I don't want anything I say to be misconstrued. I helped out, you know. [Laughs]. Complex: So anyone who says, "Nickelus F writes for Drake" would be mistaken? Nickelus F: Yes. Have I done work here and there? Yes I have. Do I write for him on a regular basis? No. Have I written for him on a regular basis? No. Complex: But you have written for him before? Nickelus F: Verses? Complex: Yeah. Nickelus F: Yes, I have done a verse. Not a bunch of verses. I have helped out with hooks and one verse in particular. But I don't write no verses for him. Complex: What was that one verse in particular? Nickelus F: I don't want to say! [Laughs]. Complex: Was it well known? Nickelus F: Yeah, it's well known. I don't know if I necessarily want to put that out there. That's my homie at the end of the day. Complex: Could you say what project it was on? Nickelus F: Yeah, but it would kind of give it away. Complex: Wayne spit a Drake verse at the Grammys. People know Wayne writes his shit, just like people know Drake writes his shit. If there's a verse that he spit that's yours, or that you helped him with, it's not going to be like, "Oh my God! Drake doesn't write anything because Nickelus F wrote one verse for him." Nickelus F: Well, it was on the So Far Gone retail version. I'll just say that much. I don't want to say what song. Complex: Was it "Fear"? Nickelus F: No, it wasn't "Fear." I ain't have nothing to do with "Fear." I ain't have nothing to do with anything new that he's working on. Complex: Are you credited on the liner notes? Nickelus F: No, I am not credited. Not credited yet. We're working it out though. We talked about it. Complex: It wasn't anything on "Best I Ever Had" though? Nickelus F: No, it wasn't anything on "Best I Ever Had." Complex: "Successful"? Nickelus F: Nah, I didn't do anything on "Successful." Complex: "Houstonlantavegas"? Nickelus F: Nothing on "Houstonlantavegas." Complex: "The Calm"? Nickelus F: Nothing on "The Calm?" Complex: "Uptown?" Nickelus F: Nothing on "Uptown." Complex: It's got to be "I'm Goin' In" then? Nickelus F: [Laughs]. I didn't say that. Then in a VIBE cover story around the time Nothing Was the Same dropped, Drake spoke candidly about the writing process for "Connect" involving a "poet" named Kenza Samir. Who helped me write on“Connect” is this girl Kenza. She’s a great girl and a phenomenal poetry writer. We just sit together and come up with the best way to say things. Actually, me and her did [the lyric] “love people and use things and not the other way around.” It’s cool to get another creative mind in there, just someone who’s thinking solely about the words and not the melodies and placement. It’s nice to read her poetry sometimes, I’ll take from that. “‘Connect’ was in the air at one point. Because the album is slow sometimes and we were trying to keep the tempo up—maybe we could replace that with something a little quicker. But I fought for ‘Connect’ because that was one of the most groundbreaking pieces, musically.” —Shebib “When I texted him, 'Isn't it amazing, how you talk all that shit and still we lack communication,' he was like, 'Are you talking to me about me right now or is that for the song?'” —Kenza Samir, poet SOURCE

Rob Kardashian Spent $13K On Take-Out For Blac Chyna During One Month Of Her Pregnancy Blac Chyna’s cravings almost broke the bank. “I feel like I don't have any pregnancy cravings, though,” the makeup artist said on Facebook live said before fiancé Rob Kardashian corrected her. “Philly cheesesteak,” she said. “P.F. Chang's.” Instead of late night runs, Kardashian said he ordered delivery from Postmates when cravings struck. I think one month, it got to like, $13,000,” he said. The engaged couple also revealed how they first met: Kendall’s Sweet 16 at Six Flags. “The weirdest thing now like looking back at pictures, we was like winning prizes together and sitting on the ride like close to each other,” Chyna said. “Everything just comes full circle,” Kardashian agreed. Their first date, the couple revealed, was at Khloé Kardashian’s house were they drank “a lot of Hennessy.” "Our real first date, it was probably just you cooking,” Kardashian said. “I invited him over and I cooked for him and that's how I rode him in,” Chyna added. The two also answered a question on who they would trust to babysit their baby — Kendall or Kylie: Chyna said both, Kardashian said neither. As for what the expectant parents would be doing if they weren’t famous, both joked that they’d be in a strip club. “I would probably be still in the strip club. I'm just keeping it real. I can't do nothing else,” Chyna said. “And I would probably be in the strip club also. I would definitely go and find Chyna and go to the strip club,” Kardashian said. “Eat some food. They got the best food in the strip club.” SOURCE

Rihanna Visits Her Boobs In Berlin Rihanna is in Disturbia! While visiting the Kunst-Werke Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin the singer checked out a giant sculpture of herself from the shoulders down and couldn’t help but be taken back. “Went to visit my boobs the biggest they’ll ever be ... too wild!” Rihanna captioned and Instagram photo of herself posing next to the enormous sculpture. The artwork, created by Colombian artist Juan Sebastián Peláez is a riff — the sculpture is headless — on a candid beach photo during Rihanna’s 2013 vacation to Barbados. The piece, which is called “Ewaiponama(Rihanna)” sports the “Work” singer’s bikini and all of her iconic ink. "Ewaiponama" refers to a mythical headless species and the Rihanna piece is one of several beheaded public figures inPeláez's series. The sculpture was unveiled back in June as part of the ninth Berlin Biennale for Contemporary art and will remain on display through Sept. 18. SOURCE
