Say it ain’t so Mario! Earlier this morning, R&B singer Mario was arrested in Baltimore for allegedly assaulting his mother in their apartment. According to TMZ, Mario’s mother Shawntia Hardaway told five-0 that he had been “throwing and damaging property” and also pushed her around a few times. The cops also found a few broken items inside the apartment–including a broken china cabinet, a busted mirror and a hole in the closet door. And it seems like this isn’t the first time Mario has put his hands on his mother. She also told the cops that he attacked her earlier this week, pushing her “eight feet into a living room wall”, which caused her to hit her head on the wall. WOW…I’m speechless!

Check out Mario’s mugshot…doesn’t look too bad ‘eh?

I’m at a loss for words. Can’t believe this is the same Mario who made it his goal to help kick his mother’s heroine addiction. Damn, what made homeboy snap?

The Bawse aka Rick Ross is stuck in between two tatted up chicks on the cover of Urban Ink magazine. I don’t have much to say about the cover. I just wish he had a shirt on, but then again it’s a magazine about tattoos.

Sidebar: Ricky Rozay is really tat, tat, tatted the f*ck up! DAMN!

It’s been speculated that The Dream and Christina Milian’s marriage is on the rocks. Especially after Christina gave birth to their baby girl Violet, the couple has rarely been seen out together which has the blogosphere all up in their business. Well, in a recent interview with Essence magazine, hubby The Dream sets the record straight by lashing out at the blogs for creating false stories. He says,

Whoever thought that blogs would dictate our conversations, [the writers] must be in their bedroom saying “Look what I can do”. It’s actually sad to have to entertain it. The rumors are not true and it really boils my blood. Christina and I are cool. People keep asking, “Why haven’t we seen you guys out together?” I’m working, that’s why you haven’t seen us. She’s at work too in Los Angeles. The women in the pictures are actually legitimate friends of mine. The photo with me in the car with another woman, she’s a good friend who’s at my house all the time. It’s sad, because [the blogs] have humiliated her. She feels bad, I feel bad and you don’t know what that [judgment] does to that person. Who takes responsibility for that? I understand freedom of speech but if I made my living spreading rumors about people, my family wouldn’t claim me.

What are we supposed to think when we always see Christina with baby Violet and hubby Dream is out at red carpet events solo?!

Mariah Carey may not want to tell us that that she’s knocked up, but pictures don’t lie. Yesterday, the diva performed in Fayetteville, Arkansas for Wal-Mart execs looking rather plump. Earlier this week, the diva’s hubby Nick Cannon hopped on Twitter in a desperate attempt to kill the rumor.

Why else would MiMi let herself go like this? C’mon people usually stuff their faces when they’re either depressed or pregnant. And in this case, we believe she’s PREGNANT!

Uncle Russ just can’t stay away from the young chicks! It’s pretty evident that Russell Simmons is down with the swirl and he’s got a thing for models and blondes in particular. Remember his ex Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Julie Henderson? Probably not, but here’s a reminder…

Well, last week at the Angels Foundation Dinner at Georgica in New York, Uncle Russ showed up with a pretty young thing on his arm.

“He was with a young, beautiful blond he was making out with constantly through dinner!”,  a snitch revealed to the NY Daily News.

And Uncle Russ’ mystery chick wanted to remain anonymous.

“She refused to even tell photographers her name,” said another snitch. “She was definitely trying to keep up that air of mystery.”

Meanwhile, just two weeks ago he was tonging this chick down…

Uncle Russ is a pimp! Dude changes girls like he changes his draws. SMH!

It’s officially over for what used to be Hip-hop’s royal couple, Nas and Kelis. Their four year marriage has finally come to an end and we’re pretty sure both parties are relieved that it’s over. So ladies what does this mean for you?! Well, you now have a chance at throwing some booty over Nas’ way. But, don’t get it twisted just ’cause Kelis is no longer Mrs. Jones, don’t expect Nas to wife up or knock up any chicks any time soon.

But for those groupies looking to bag Nasty Nas please keep this in mind…

5. YOUR OOCHIE WALLY GOTTA BANG-BANG!- You gotta be a brave girl ready and willing to do your thing.

4. YOU GOTTA THROW IT LIKE A STALLION- Who knows, you just might wind up wearing his  medallion.

3. YOU GOTTA HELP HIM TRY TO “RULE THE WORLD”- Help him open every cell in Attica and help send all those n*ggas back to Africa.

2. YOU GOTTA HELP HIM STACK UP HIS PAPER- Cause money is Nas’ “main” bitch ’cause she keeps a n*gga rich.

1. YOU GOTTA KNOW THAT “HE IS THE TRUEST”- Be able to name a rapper that he ain’t influence.

Looks like this is the week of music leaks! While it’s been said that the Louis Vuitton Don aka Kanye West took a much needed break after his drunken episode at the VMA’s involving Taylor Swift. Well, we here at Str8NYC believe that ‘Ye said exactly what we were all thinking! Although, there is a time and a place for everything and of course ways in which you going about saying things…but that was then and this is now. Mr. West steps back on the scene with his new track “Power”. He spits,

“I was drinking earlier/ Now I’m driving/Stop tripping?/I’m tripping off the power/Till then, fuck that/ The world is ours/ Now this’ll be a beautiful death/Jumpin’ out the window /Lettin’ everything go/Lettin’ everything go”

It seems like ya boy is on some downward spiral power trip. Realtalk, the track is mediocre and Yeezy could’ve came much harder. WTF is going on Kanye?!

ON DECK or OFF DECK?!

Vibe recently caught up with Hip-hop’s Barbie Nicki Minaj and chopped it up a bit about her “Massive Attack” video, her music and of course the haters. According to Nicki, instead of spending time hating on her, these hating a$$ b*tches could actually learn a thing or two from her. Really? *blank stare*

She says,

“You should be happy I’m here even though I’m showing you bitches how to do it. When people there is one person getting shine it makes them feel unhappy with themselves, the small minded people feel unhappy. The intelligent girls take the things that they like from me and my journey and apply it to their journey.  If I had it my way that’s what they’d all do.” Adding, “Everyone is not going to like Nicki Minaj. Everyone’s not going to like the way I look or what I do but I think if you’re smart you’d take from me and figure out why everyone is talking about me. I don’t think they know how to express that so they express it anger, jealousy and hatred.”

Peep the clip…

A co-sign from Lil Wayne will get anyone to talk about you Nicki. Honestly, I’m still not impressed with Miss Barbie. Call me a hater, but every time I think she’s going to deliver–she doesn’t! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Nicki’s flow is like bad sex…you can never get an orgasm.

Kelis’ milkshake may have brought Nas to the yard, but now it’s costing him thousands! In dealing with his bitter divorce to Kelis, the rapper went to L.A.  County Superior court on Monday and walked out with a dent in his wallet. According to court documents, Nas has to hand over $47, 249.42 in back child support and another $40, 454 in back spousal support. The judge also order him to pay $10, 000 a month in spousal support until he gives Kelis $299.015.90 that he owes her. Not to mention the brotha has to pay 90% of Kelis’ legal fees which totals up to $155, 787.28. But it doesn’t stop there he also has to give Kelis $48, 549.83 to pay her accounting expenses. DAMN!

Kelis’ milkshake is quite expensive, if ya ask me! Nas probably has his head down somewhere regretting that he even tried it.
