During the height of T.I. and Tiny’s scandal as accusations of sexual misconduct were pouring in by the day, Shekinah Jo Anderson stepped forward to defend her friends. Shekinah has been thick as thieves with the couple for years and has even co-hosted shows with Tiny, but their friendship has come to an end. According to Shekinah, when she stepped forward on behalf of her former friends, she alleges Tiny was there coaching her.

Shekinah spoke on Livestream about working with Tiny and T.I. and alleged that she would get paid next to nothing. She cried as she recalled the demise of their longstanding friendship, and Tiny couldn’t pass up the opportunity to respond to the accusations. Shekinah previously took to Livestream in January to say that Sabrina Peterson, the person who launched this scandal against T.I. and Tiny, had sex with the couple and recruited women for them. She later backtracked on her statements.

“Why in tf would I ask her to say what she said?!” Tiny replied. “True enough she wanted to speak up for me as a friend and I appreciate that but I NEVER EVER told her to say ANY of the sh*t she said. That’s on MY LIFE & EVERYTHING I Love. She wrote me a book & said ppl don’t need to know but yet going to live talking about me daily. Worst kinda friend to have! If we not cool, we not cool..move on as I have quietly.”

“It’s a shame I’m addressing this be now,” Tiny continued. “Just sick of all the lies. Day after day!! I will forever wish her nothing but the best still, it’s sad when close friends turn to enemies but God has his way & I won’t ?? Him!”

The murder of King Von was a shock to the music industry and immediately following the shooting, there was more Von news that outlets could handle. Everyone weighed in on the situation from people who knew Von personally to those who admired his come up, but after it was revealed that Quando Rondo’s friend, Timothy Leeks, was arrested in connection with Von’s murder, a divide began to arise between fans.

We may not be receiving much news regarding the development of the case in recent months, but the streets are still talking about this tragedy. Quando Rondo has stood by his friend Leeks throughout the ordeal and there has been news that Rondo has made questionable statements about King Von since his slaying. Most recently, Rondo and his entourage were reportedly fired upon, leaving one person injured after being shot in the hand. After the news circulated, the rapper sent out a puzzling message to his Instagram Story.

“A n*gga will tell you they love you then stab you in yo,” the message on the rapper’s Story reads. Of course, after the screenshot went viral, people on various social media platforms have been begging Rondo to finish what looked to be an incomplete thought. Instead, he deleted the post and decided to continue promoting his forthcoming mixtape, Still Taking Risks.

Last month, Rondo sat down with Angela Yee for an extensive interview regarding King Von’s death and the backlash he’s received. According to Rondo, he never had an issue with Von and stated that he didn’t know why there was an altercation between the two crews that fateful evening. “I don’t have a clue at all. I never dealt with no female that he dealt with. I never said a curse word to this man,” said Rondo.

“Our last conversation been some cool sh*t, chillin’, laughin’, tellin’ jokes. I never had a problem with them,” he added. “That’s why I don’t understand how can everybody be mad at me? How can everybody be mad at my brother [Timothy Leeks]?” Check out his post below.

When music veterans sit down with The Art of Dialogue, they always reveal some explosive behind-the-scenes information. Industry professionals who have worked with or befriended some of our favorite rappers often sit down years later to give a bit of gossip, and that’s what recently occurred when Death Row producer Kurt Kobane, real name Curtis Couthon, chatted with the outlet about Dr. Dre.

We’ve received a bevy of information regarding Dre’s personal life in the past year as his highly publicized divorce from Nicole Young has taken over headlines, but Kobane has made claims that have stolen attention away from relationship woes. According to him, Michel’le—who was in a relationship with Dre in the 1990s and is the mother to his son Marcel—told Tupac Shakur that she caught the producer in bed with a man named Bruce.

After the story went viral, The Neighborhood Talk exclusively reported that Michel’le denied the claim, calling it a lie. She reportedly added that she had several talks with Tupac, but none of them were ever about Dre’s sexuality. The outlet also claims that the singer was “shocked” that someone would “make something like that up.”

Elsewhere in his interview, Kobane also stated that there were plenty of ladies who were calling Tupac, including a teenage Monica who was swerved because of her age. “I mean, from Left Eye to Monica…and Monica was only fifteen,” said Kobane. “She wasn’t getting callbacks or anything like that. You can’t name a female from ’95 [or] ’96 that wasn’t calling Tupac. Monica couldn’t get back there, she couldn’t get the phone calls. I’d be hanging out by the receptionist desk and a lot of times it was Monica calling. She could never get back to the studio. She was too young.”

Check out clips of Kobane’s interview below where he also claims Halle Berry sent Suge Knight—who is Michel’le’s ex-husband and the father of her second child—love letters along with The Neighborhood Talk‘s report below.
