Nate Dogg suffers another stroke

Legendary singer Nate Dogg who has sand along side many of the West Coasts most prominent artists suffered another stroke on Friday.

Representatives for Nate born Nathaniel Hale have announced that he is in a stable condition.

Nate suffered his first stroke in December of 2007 and was on the way to recovery after a spell in a Los Angeles Medical Center where he was treated.

His family and management team are asking media to respect his privacy at this time.

Dame Dash still looking for son

After spending a weekend with his mother, the eldest son of mogul Dame Dash, Damon Dash Junior, aka Boogie has still to return home to his Father�s Manhattan home.

Dame Dash was granted full custody of his son with former girlfriend Linda Williams five years ago, but Linda Williams contested the courts decisions on various occasions.

In May of this year she filed a suit in a Manhattan court which accused Dash, famed for Rocafella Records with rapper Jay Z in the mid nineties, of being an unsuitable Father.

Williams said in the suit that Dash had their child living in a house with no electricity or hot water and had fired kitchen staff which meant Boogie had to prepare his own meals.

A arrest warrant was issued for Williams yesterday to return the child to his father immediately.

Rihanna not broke

Hailed as one of the hardest working females in the music industry today, Bajan beauty Rihanna has laid to rest the rumors that she is in fact financially unstable which has been the talk of the internet for many weeks now.

Currently out on the road promoting her Bag Girl Gone Good album, Rihanna is in fact more over worked than underpaid.

The songstress has only had seven days off in the last year and a half and even though she loves what she does, she feels the stress of working such a charged schedule taking its toll.

Thankfully her boyfriend R&B sensation Chris Brown is able to keep a smile on the face of the new style icon. She has appeared on magazine covers all over the world in the last and has sold over 5.5 millions copies of her new album.

Lil Wayne re-signs with Cash Money

With over 2 million copies of his recent album Tha Carter III sold in the US, Lil Wayne has recently renewed his contract with Cash Money Records with whom he has been signed since the very start of his career.

There is no indication as to how much the deal was actually worth to the rapper who released his first album The Block is Hot when he was only 16 years old in 1999.

Lil Wayne who is one of the only original Hot Boys on the Cash Money imprint was nominated for twelve BET Hip-Hop awards earlier this week after the success of his Carter III project which is the only album since 50 Cent�s Massacre in 2005 to sell over a million copies in a week.

Cash Money is a subsidiary of Universal Music .
