It’s murder!
BET has announced a new original unscripted documentary series on Murder Inc. Records. The five-part television event, tentatively titled “Murder Inc.,” will explore the untold tale of the rise, fall, and redemption of one of hip-hop’s most iconic labels and its founder and CEO, Irving “Irv Gotti” Lorenzo.
When it premieres in the summer, each episode will take viewers through the label’s origins to present day, with never-before-seen archival footage and a soundtrack of chart-topping hits that helped shape the musical era.
“My life and Murder Inc. has been filled with many highs and lows. I got to work with my brothers and a lot of great people; from Jay-Z, DMX, Fat Joe, Mary J Blige, to name a few,” said Irv Gotti. “Also, I got to start my record label, Murder Inc. Records, with Ja Rule by my side. My life was filled with great lows, but I’m not ashamed of those lows. It all helped make me the person I am today. So, with this documentary series, I plan to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help me GOD.”
“Pain is Love,” said Ja Rule. “We endured the pain so others could feel the love.”
Tiffany Lea Williams, Executive Vice President of BET Unscripted Programming, added, “Music is in our DNA. We thank our long-standing partner Irv Gotti, and the many talented artists at the iconic label for trusting our brand to tell their personal and inspiring stories. We look forward to bringing viewers a compelling music documentary series that reveals how this label consequently changed the music industry forever.”
Launched in 1999, Murder Inc. Records was home to some of hip-hop and R&B’s biggest names including Ja Rule, Ashanti, Lloyd, Charli Baltimore, Vita, Black Child, Caddillac Tah, and others.
BET previously aired docuseries on two other iconic hip-hop dynasties, No Limit and Ruff Ryders, as well as the legendary Uptown Records.
Kim Kardashian is officially a single woman.
On Wednesday, a Los Angeles judge declared the Skims mogul legally single, immediately ending her marriage to Kanye West. She has dropped the West from her name and will go back to being Kim Kardashian.
Kim appeared on a video call during Wednesday’s court hearing, but Ye was absent. Kanye’s lawyer did not object to restoring Kim’s single status. Questions surrounding child custody and financial assets will be addressed at a later date.
At the hearing in L.A. Superior Court, the judge granted one of three preconditions from West’s attorneys about the right to get reimbursement in case either of them dies. However, the other two requests were denied, including restrictions on what would happen if Kim remarried. West and his team did not oppose the general plan for a quick divorce.

Kim initially filed for divorce from the father of her four kids in February 2021 after six years of marriage. Last month, Kim claimed that her estranged husband was causing “emotional distress” with his “constant attacks” on social media.
“While I wish our marriage would have succeeded, I have come to the realization that there is no way to repair our marriage,” she said in court documents. “Kanye does not agree but at least it appears that he has come to the realization that I want to end our marriage, even if he does not.”
On Feb. 25, Ye filed an objection to Kim’s claims about his social media outbursts, dismissing them as “double hearsay.” West’s former lawyer also filed paperwork suggesting that he might challenge the couple’s prenup.
The hearing came just hours after Ye fired his third attorney and hired Samantha Spector, who represented Nicole Young in her $100 million divorce settlement with Dr. Dre. Kim’s lawyer is Dre’s lawyer, Laura Wasser.
