Weekend Fix: The Game Disses Jay and Bey; Plus Lil’ Kim and Lil’ Wayne News

The Game is not playing! For years the Compton rapper has been taking shots at Jay-Z, but he upped the ante recently (guess he really, really needs some publicity?) taking the drama overseas.  In a  concert in Madrid The Game repeatedly chanted “Fu–k Jay-Z….old ass ni–a” (and even got the crowd to join in!) before spitting a diss rap over Hov’s “D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)” beat. He let the low blows roll and even took shots at Beyonce rapping:

This isn’t about Beef/This isn’t about Destiny/I’m in Madrid banging the c-p-t/You got a bad b–ch word?/Ain’t no pu–y like hers?/Just ask the Mavericks, Rockets, and the Spurs/ I mean… I mean my b–ch don’t slang p–sy like that.”

Wilin’!  Now Jay has previously said that he won’t be responding to The Game’s taunts, but I wonder what he’ll have to say now that Bey’s name has been dragged into the picture?

In other crazy performance news: Lil’ Kim is scheduled to take the stage with Cyndi Lauper at a concert to honor South African President Nelson Mandela’s 91st birthday. All I want to know is who approved that!? While I’ve been know to get down to a Queen Bee song or two, somehow I can’t imagine the elderly Mandela rocking to “Big Momma Thang” overseas. Other performers include Stevie Wonder, Queen Latifah, Wyclef, Aretha Franklin, will.i.am and err T-Pain (doesn’t he seem a little out of place on this bill too? He better not wear that “Big A– Chain” he’s been rocking as of late!). Should be an interesting production to say the least.

Meanwhile, Lil Wayne’s being sued yet again for blowing off a concert. TMZ reports that Red City Entertainment is coming after Weezy for $432,000 for failing to appear at his own concert in the Bahamas (police went to check on the rapper when he didn’t show and found him unconscious). Wayne just canceled a European tour citing “health problems” earlier this month and has been sued for flaking on concerts in the past. I don’t know what’s wrong with this man, but I know one thing: with all these baby mamas and new tots on the way, he needs to stop playing and make that money. Those child support bills are about to start piling up real soon!

Lauryn Hill Halts Comeback Tour

Published by Dior Noir on Thursday, June 11, 2009 at 3:00 pm.

If you’re still waiting for a Lauryn Hill comeback, stop holding your breath.

According to the AP, the former Fugees front-woman has cancelled a full schedule of European tour dates due to “health reasons.” The singer will no longer headline Sweden’s Stockholm Jazz Festival, has scrapped her appearance at Switzerland’s Montreux Jazz Festival and has also cancelled concerts in Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Italy, France and Austria.

Lauryn’s agent refused to give more details about her condition, but given the erratic behavior we’ve seen from the singer in the past few years we’re worried!

Besides shocking fans with her almost unrecognizable appearance, the reclusive star hasn’t performed in public since 2007 when she was booed off stage for showing up two hours late to a London concert.  That year  former Fugees bandmembers also made some noise: Wyclef Jean told MTV News that Lauryn ”should go see a psychiatrist” while Pras said “it will take an act of God to change her, because she’s that far out there.”

Whether or not it takes a trip to Bellevue, we hope you get well soon L-Boogie!  Hip-hop needs (the old) you!

Do you think Lauryn Hill’s star will completely fade before she gets it together?
