Today is the 15th anniversary of the tragic death of the Notorious B.I.G.

Those that new him, or were touched by his music, have been spreading their love today on a multitude of mediums:

Friend and confidante Lil Kim said on MTV’s RapFix Live:

"I was his biggest fan, rockin' with him. And I was shorty, I was his pride and joy. Sometimes he would say to me, 'I feel like you're my baby, like I birthed you….He should be proud of himself. He should be very proud…He did some good things when he was here."

Many celebs used Twitter to pay their respects to the late great rap king, including Fabolous, Keyshia Cole, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combes, Jerry Ferrara, LeBron James, and The Game and Estelle.

We hope you are living the dream somewhere out there in the universe, Biggie. Your music lives on!

Such a shame!

According to reports, Keyshia Cole's mother/Celebrity Rehab star Frankie Lons has been arrested for possession of "drug-related materials."

She was stopped by a "traffic patrolman" yesterday who searched her car, and then charged her with "misdemeanor possession of drug-related materials" and "probation violation."

Sorry to hear about your mom's double whammy, Keyshia.

Hopefully she'll take this incident as another wake up call!

Are U surprised to hear that this Celebrity Rehab star was caught with "drug-related materials?"

Wow! She really hits the nail right on the head with this one!

Foxy Brown recently gave her opinion on the feud between Lil' Kim and Nicki Minaj, and claims that although the new rapper has been compared to her, as well, she doesn't have any beef with her, and thinks that Kim shouldn't, either!

She explains:

"Nicki has always been cool with me. She and I have something online I did for her — it was a video shoot with Lil' Wayne and Rick Ross, she wasn't signed yet. And she was like, 'Foxy is the first female artist who ever embraced me.' She was classy; she was articulate. I'm so proud of her. Of course, people everywhere clearly are saying, 'She wants to be Foxy, she wants to be Kim.' Everybody's going to say that. But do I think she's doing an incredible job at branding herself? Yes, I do. When you're an icon in the music business…like Mary J. Blige. Keyshia Cole came out after her, you didn't hear Mary J. Blige starting a beef with her just because they compared her. Mary J. Blige stayed clean. She does what she does, and I do what I do. Had Lil' Kim let the people say, 'Oh, you're trying to be Kim, you're a fake Kim,' then it doesn't come directly from her. But when you're using that as a platform to bring your new album out, that's like, 'Oh my God, wait a minute.' I don't condone it at all; I don't think it's cute. Nicki clearly drew from both Kim and me. And she hasn't been disrespectful to me in any way — I haven't heard her be disrespectful toward anybody else but Kim. And at some point, it's like, 'O.K., Kim, you've had a problem with Foxy, you've had a problem with Nicki, you've had a problem with Faith, with Charli, with everybody. It's like, enough already.' I choose to stay out of it. Put out great music, and that's that."

Say it, sister!

While Nicki has definitely been influenced by Lil' Kim and Foxy, she's going in her own direction! We would like to think that everyone could be as mature about the matter as Brown is, and just be proud of the fact that they paved the way for female rappers with their success!

No need for sour grapes!

What do U think?? Do U agree with Foxy??

If you can't do the job, take a walk!

In light of the not so stellar first-week sales of her latest album, Calling All Hearts, Keyshia Cole has fired her longtime manager, Manny Halley.

The album really hasn't performed as we're sure she would have liked. It debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200, but then slipped to 23-26 this week. It came in at No. 5 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, but now has moved 9-8 on the chart. This is a far cry from her last two albums that both debuted at the #2 spot on the Billboard 200 and remained strong thereafter. In total, we hear the album was only able to sell 194,000 copies in the first week.

Thus, Manny is out!

Keyshia confirmed the news on her Twitter earlier this week, saying:

"Would like for u guys to know that Manny Halley is no longer my management. Someone said if the people around u won't change, change the people around you."

Tough call, but maybe it is for the best. Someone new might have exciting ideas on how to up the ante on your game. Still, we're sure Manny is a little heart broken. You guys have been together for a long time.

Such is the biz!

Queen Nicki is everywhere these days!

Check out their song I Ain't Thru (above)!

And it's going to be pretty good!

This year's has-beens enrolling in VH1's Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew Pinsky include Jason Wahler, Janice Dickinson, Jeremy London, Rachel Uchitel, Leif Garrett, Jason "Gummi Bear" Davis and Frankie Lons, singer Keyshia Cole's mother.

The fourth season is set to air later this year.

We can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans Janice will be up to!
