“And now,” he continued, “to think of the girl that I used to ride the bus with — and that’s what she was to me: this girl that I rode the bus with. I was like, ‘Female rap?’ And I’m being dead honest with you. [I thought,] ‘Man, it’s been a while since there’s been a female rapper, and I’m curious to see how this works.’ It’s not that I didn’t believe. And she was probably looking at me like, ‘This Jew from Canada: I don’t know.’ ”

“I heard ‘Black & Yellow’ on the radio and I just started playing around with the words after I had seen some sh*t on TV with Amber Rose telling somebody to open her door like she was worth something. I just fell out laughing and started repeating wack and yellow, wack and yellow. A n*gga like me, as soon as I say something I feel is catchy, I immediately go to the board and record.”

Looks like Common really missed Serena’s bubbly ass, so much so that the two are rumored to be dating again.  The tennis star and rapper/actor were spotted getting real cozy at the Shore Club hotel in Miami. Yep, fancy! Snitches tell Life & Style,

“They’re 100 percent back together. They were all over each other poolside”.

Word is Common is also ready to settle down and have some babies. Guess, he wants to make Serena his baby mama.

St. Lunatic Nelly is back with a blazing new track “Just A Dream” and is prepping the release of his new album 5.0. Complex magazine recently caught up with the Midwest rapper to talk about a few things including his on-and-off again relationship with Ashanti. This summer, Nelly and Ashanti were spotted at T.I. and Tiny’s wedding holding hands which set off speculation that the two were back on again. Well, according to Nelly he’s focused on his career right now and Ashanti’s focused on handling her business as well.

Complex: Yeah. This kind of goes along with that. I don’t know what your relationship with Ashanti is like or what led to an alleged breakup, but then the gossip sites will say you said that you’re back together and have pictures of you two holding hands at T.I. and Tiny’s wedding. Is it an on-and-off situation because you’re not good at cutting people if they don’t hurt you, personally?

Nelly: We never admitted that we were together or back together or separated, but we heard that. Only thing we ever said was we friends and it’s the same way now. I’m focused on 5.0. I got an album coming out on November 16th, she’s working on her project right now.

Complex: But are there things that happened in the relationship that have gotten you to a point where you’re not going to be dealing with her in the same capacity?

Nelly: It’s not like that. My ultimate goal and our ultimate goal is to be individuals, to sustain what we been able to sustain. You wanna make sure that when you get into a time and place that you’re able to do what you need to do, and right now, that’s my album. You don’t want to be into a situation where you do an hour-long interview and 45 minutes is based on something and you’re like, “Yo, what about this?” And that’s something that we’ve been able to maintain. Like, whatever becomes of our relationship. Whatever, whenever, or however, that’s going to be something that we’re going to do and we’re going to judge. It’s not going to be manipulated by outside people looking in, who don’t even know what the fuck is going on. I think that the only way you can maintain that is to just do what you do. I have to be Nelly. She got to be Ashanti.

If these two want to be like Jay-Z and Beyonce and keep their relationship a mystery…well good for them. But, there can only be one Jay and B! I’m pretty sure Nelly is still tapping that anyway…

After giving Amber Rose her walking papers, Kanye’s been linked to many dames but Tuesday night made a statement by stepping out with his new boo, Victoria’s Secret model and Nick Cannon’s Ex, Selita Ebanks. The pair attended the Grazia Masquerade Ball at Opera Garnier in Paris, France.

You might recall it was rumored a while back Kanye and Selita were boo loving. And now fast forward a few months later, they’re now making public appearances…guess those snitches were right after all.

Peep the couple posing for flicks below…

We also recently heard Kanye is looking to settle down and plant some of his own seeds with a special someone…
“Kanye feels like there’s something missing from his life,” a source said.

“He says he’d like to have a child with the woman of his dreams, adopt or use a surrogate.

“He thinks he’d make a great dad.”

…so could the mama-to-be be Selita Ebanks? What happened to Pussycat Doll member, Melody Thornton…weren’t they boo loving a second ago?

Looks like 50 Cent has dropped Ciara for a white chick! Guess 50 didn’t really like the way Ciara “rides the beat”. Ha! Anywhoo, according to TMZ, the Queens rapper and comedian Chelsea Handler were spotted at a bar in New Orleans Sunday night and “were getting very hot and heavy with each other”. Word is 50 has been feeling Chelsea for quite some time now and has been pursuing her for months. WOW! Apparently, 50 once left the late night TV host a voicemail message after appearing on her show and even sent her flowers.

Here’s a pic of the newly rumored couple getting cozy at some club…is that a business meeting or just a lil’ too close for comfort. Ciara, come get ya gurl, Chelsea!
