 Producer and label exec Jermaine Dupri was hanging out with some friends in Miami last night when things got a little sticky icky with the local police. According to TMZ, cops pulled over the vehicle Dupri was riding in for having window tints that were too dark. Upon inspection of the car cops smelled marijuana, but a search turned up no weed in anyone’s possession. However, they found one single Xanax pill in a plastic container, inside the pocket of one of the passengers. This was enough to make the cops call in the K-9 unit to sniff out the car for more drugs, but nothing turned up. The man with Xanax even went home to bring back a prescription as proof that he was allowed to have it. Afterward Dupri tweeted about the incident seemingly unfazed.

 Rapper Lil Kim‘s career hasn’t gone the way many expected it to go since she was released from prison several years ago. Although she’s tried to make a comeback with new music, it hasn’t really resonated with fans. So Kimmy Blanco is doing what any artist with a catalogue of hits is doing. She’s touring in markets that still want to hear her old joints. While that’s great for Kim, her recent performance in London wasn’t her best. During the portion of the show where she performs her 2003 Timbaland produced-hit “The Jumpoff,” Lil Kim was all out of breath and huffing and puffing across that stage like she was the Big Bad Wolf. Some will try to explain away the bad performance by saying that she was trying to dance and rap at the same time, but homegirl was doing basic moves. Story provided by: www.urbandaily.com
