‘Being Mary Jane Cancelled’, Gabrielle Blames 50 Cent

Being Mary Jane will not be returning  to BET.  Gabrielle Union appeared on Complex’s Hot Ones and blamed the shows ending on 50Cent!

“For everyone who’s just really upset that BMJ is coming to a close, please send all your correspondence to 50, Curtis Jackson, who has taken sole responsibility for the loss of jobs and your show,” she said. “So don’t @ me, @ 50.”

 

50 responded to Union’s comments: “Listen I told you things were gonna change Gabrielle, no disrespect with all respect, I have no respect.” He ended the post by saying “‘ll see you around in my @michaelblackson voice.LOL”

Lil Wayne Reportedly Wants Young Money Records Dissolved

The documents asked the court to “appoint a receiver to supervise the operations of the Young Money Label joint venture or order the termination of Young Money Label joint venture and appoint a liquidator.”

 

Birdman has reportedly responded to the documents Weezy filed, allegedly stating that Lil Wayne has no right to shutter the label while he is currently under contract with Cash Money. Along with suing Birdman and Cash Money for millions, Wayne also sued the label for full ownership of Drake and Nicki Minaj, as he brought both of them to the label in the first place.
