On Wednesday (November 9), French Montana linked up with some of the biggest names in the industry to celebrate his 32nd birthday. And as we know him, Montana did not have an ordinary bash.
After dropping “Unforgivable”, French Montana and rumored girlfriend Iggy Azalea spent some time at his house in Calabasas, partying with… elephants? But the real party continued after, on a yacht at Marina Del Rey. Drake, Diddy, Cassie and Amber Rose were some of the rapper’s friends who joined his yacht party. Diddy and Amber even offered speeches, and Rose called Montana “one of my best friends in the world.”
Happy belated birthday, French Montana!

L.A. Leakers Weekly Rewind Jan 23 – Jan 29th (News)
As the first month of the year is coming to a close, it is shaping up to be a good year in Hip-Hop. The culture is alive and well, although not all positive.
This week Kanye made a big announcement regarding his upcoming album. He announced the title and even posted a track-list to go with it.
Kanye being Kanye had a change of heart and switched the title from ‘SWISH’ to ‘WAVES’. This led to a reaction from Wiz Khalifa, who happens to be a major supporter of incarcerated Harlem rapper, Max B., the originator of the “wave”.
Wiz responded by tweeting, “Max B is the wavy one. He created the wave. There is no wave without him.” That resulted in Mr. West going on a full Twitter spiel taking shots at Wiz.
Check out some of the Tweets:
Max B is the wavy one. He created the wave. There is no wave without him.

Amber’s BFF, Blac Chyna also made headlines this week.
Chyna is rumored to be dating the only male Kardashian, Rob. Tyga is dating Rob’s sister, Kylie, who is feuding with Chyna, Tyga’s baby’s mom. The whole thing is just a big paradox.
This image should help give you a better understanding of the whole situation:

Gotta love Cole.
If you’re a Lakers fan you have to love Shaq, a.k.a., Superman, a.k.a., The Diesel a.k.a., The Big Aristotle, a.k.a., The Big Sidekick, okay you get it.
In all seriousness, Shaq was one of the greatest Lakers to ever set foot on any hardwood court in Los Angeles.
The Lakers are finally paying him homage, as it was announced they’re honoring the big guy with a statue outside the STAPLES Center, where he celebrated three NBA Championships with the team.
“We look forward to having Shaq join the other legends who have been honored with statues at STAPLES Center,” said Jeanie Buss, Lakers president and co-owner, in a statement to ESPN.
Shaq was surprised when he learned about it on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and mentioned that if it does happen he would go into the NBA Hall of Fame as a Laker.
Here’s the video:

Much love,
Shaq

“I’m so ready. I’m going all-natural. I’ve decided that I’m going to have an all-natural water birth. No medicine. I want those bragging rights! The next time Wiz has a stomachache or anything, I’ll say, ‘I popped out a baby all-natural.’”
