DJ Nabs Outs Ex-Girlfriend For Banging Nas Behind His Back

Atlanta, GA – Veteran producer and mixshow master, DJ Nabs has been revealed to share an unfortunate bond with God’s Son himself: Nas.

According to a conversation and letter Nabs shared with Page Six, the V-103 Atlanta DJ discovered his girlfriend Jessica Santos had been creeping with the Illmatic One when she failed to make it home a couple of months ago.

“On May 19th, 2018 after my performance in Atlanta with the Youngbloodz, my girlfriend didn’t come home one night. After confronting her and getting the silent treatment, I discovered on my own, texts and emails, that [proved] she had a sexual relationship” with the rapper, dating back to 2014,” Nabs wrote.

He then went on to state, “she defiantly admitted to sleeping with [Nas] the night she didn’t come home,” while claiming “she and Nabs were over” at the time and defended “the explicit texts I discovered saying, ‘the sexual texts are a minuscule part of our friendship.’”

The karma kicker of this entire debacle is Nabs openly admits he left his wife to be with Santos, and he hopes his Nasir confessional will go the distance in righting the wrong. He also revealed he heard Santos’ last relationship went sour when it was discovered she was creeping with Nas, but he chose to ignore it. Santos was also reportedly warned this cheaters story would see the light of day beforehand.

“[Nas] knows I was with Jessica. He knows I left my wife . . . I’m sitting in this situation betrayed by both of them, and I don’t owe them anything,” Nabs continued.

“[I thought] it was . . . acting out of insecurity and just accepted Nas was a friend of hers . . . She was sleeping with Nas during our relationship,” he said.

Santos (along with Nabs) can be seen in living color down below.

OMB Peezy is beginning the rollout for his debut album. The E-40 protege announced the title, Loyalty Over Love, and revealed an August 10 release date for his first LP.

No tracklist or cover artwork has been unveiled at this time, but Peezy did drop a new single off the upcoming project. The song, “Yeah Yeah,” is a collaboration with TK Kravitz.

Peezy’s Loyalty Over Love will be released through E-40’s Sick Wid It Records and 300 Entertainment. It will be the Alabama native’s second project of 2018 following January’s Young Reckless, a collaborative mixtape with fellow 300 Ent. artist Sherwood Marty.

Brandy Reminds Essence Festival Crowd "The Boy Is Mine" Isn’t Monica’s Song, It’s Hers

New Orleans, LA – While performing at the 2018 Essence Festival in New Orleans, Brandy took the audience by surprise as she sang the 1998 hit “The Boy Is Mine.”

During the song, the RB vet switched the lyrics from, “The boy is mine” to “The song is mine,” a clear jab at Monica who originally collaborated on the song with her.

#PressPlay: Okay! #Brandy hit the stage at #EssenceFest and she made sure to let the crowd know “The Boy Is Mine,” is her song ? via. @inquisitivecarter

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on Jul 8, 2018 at 11:41am PDT

“The Boy Is Mine” was released as a joint single in May 1998 and included on Brandy’s sophomore album Never Say Never a month later. In July 1998, Monica also released the track as the lead single from her sophomore effort, the appropriately titled The Boy Is Mine. 

The song was the first #1 Hot 100 hit for both artists and spent 13 weeks at the top of the chart. Both singers also won a Grammy Award in the Best RB Performance by a Duo or Group category at the 1999 Grammy Awards.

It’s believed part of the song’s success was due to the ongoing rumors that the two singers had an unspoken rivalry. Monica reportedly had an issue with Brandy performing the song on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno without her, and Brandy was reportedly upset that Monica used the song’s title for the name of her album.

The singers’ managers eventually released a joint statement addressing the feud after reports started to circulate claiming they almost had a physical altercation during a rehearsal for the MTV Video Music Awards in September 1998. Their managers blamed the media and called the behavior “disturbing” and thought the “ongoing negativity [was] totally unfair.”

Although Brandy and Monica reunited on “It All Belongs To Me” in 2012, it seems like Brandy still has some unfinished business.

Twitter users were confused by Brandy’s actions and wasted no time voicing their opinions. 

Check out some of the best reactions below.

Future Surprises Fans With Beastmode 2

BEASTMODE TWO

A post shared by Future Hendrix (@future) on Jul 5, 2018 at 8:25pm PDT

Future and Zaytoven delighted fans by dropping Beastmode 2 this week. The nine-track project’s only feature is Atlanta’s Young Scooter, who appears on the track “DOH DOH.”

Beastmode 2 was released on his ex-fiancée Ciara and her husband Russell Wilson’s second wedding anniversary (July 6), so it was suspected on social media that’s why he dropped it on that day. Sources close to Future, however, insists he chose the date to avoid releasing on the same day as Drake.

Drake’s Scorpion Is A Streaming Giant

New era. New platinum. Thank you a billion times over (a billion plus). ?

A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) on Jul 7, 2018 at 8:32am PDT

Speaking of Drake, his Scorpion album accumulated one billion streams within the first week of its release and broke streaming records on both Spotify and Apple Music in doing so. It also went platinum the day it dropped.

The drama surrounding Drake’s personal life in relation to Scorpion was further highlighted this week when it was revealed he supposedly let Kanye West hear “March 14,” the song about his son, in Wyoming. It’s now alleged West shared this information with Pusha T to use as ammo for “The Story of Adidon” diss track.

Drama aside, Scorpion is on pace to have the biggest sales of 2018.

Hip Hop Pioneer Ralph McDaniels To Host “Video Music Box” 35th Anniversary Concert

Video Music Box’s Ralph McDaniels is holding a 35th anniversary celebration of the vintage Hip Hop show, and he explains how important videos began to become during this time.

“Not all Hip Hop artists had music videos back then, so we use to catch them live at the parties,” McDaniels told HipHopDX. “In the beginning, it was important because the fans never saw the artist performing the song. They just had to imagine what they were talking about.”
