Rumor Control ~ Legendary Atlanta Rapper Disputes Internet Tales + Introduces His New R&B Chick

Rap legend Doug E. Fresh is next up on the foreclosure train.  Y’all betta recognize…this economy ain’t NO JOKE!  Fresh, known for 80’s hits such as “The Show” and “La Di Da Di” (w/Slick Rick) has been hit recently by 3 (yes…THREE) foreclosure actions by banks looking to collect on over $3.5 million in unpaid mortgages on a trio of his Harlem homes.

The rapper, 46, also is being chased by American Express for nearly $60,000 in credit-card debt, and the IRS just slapped him with a $367,000 tax lien on top of more than $40,000 owed to the state tax collector, records show.

The golden-voiced rapper, whose real name is Douglas Davis, grew up in Harlem. After his skill at vocally imitating drumbeats and percussion sounds made him famous in the 1980s, he stayed in the neighborhood, investing in local real estate and raising five sons.

He fell behind in payments and, according to a foreclosure suit filed in Manhattan in late August, 2008, he now owes more than $1.73 million.

Davis is putting the finishing touches on Doug E’s Chicken and Waffles, a new Harlem restaurant slated to open next month.

He declined to comment on his woes. (Source)

Late rapper Tupac Shakur appeared on The Arsenio Hall show back in 1994.  Can you believe that this was over 10 years ago??  It seems like yesterday Tupac was running rampant on the streets of the “A”…*sigh* I feel soooo ancient right about now.  

Bow wow recently remade Special Ed’s “I Got It Made” and I got to thinking…where the hell is Special Ed anyway?   Well, a little bit of persistance paid off!  Special Ed, aka Edward Archer, is now 35 years old and is now a grown man!

Lil Ike Bow Wow was spotted hanging out with Angela Simmons last week during fashion week in New York (and No…there was no sign of Superhead).  Shad was also spotted chillin with the old folks at the “W” Friday night in the “A.”   Funny part about seeing him around a 30-something crowd was that no bodyguards were necessary.  Ha!  Anyway…moving on, circulating around the net this week is Bow’s freestyle over Special Ed’s “I Got it Made.”  The new version + a blast from the past under the cut: (more…)

Shawntae Harris aka Da Brat has been sentenced to 3 years in jail following an altercation at Jermaine Dupri’s Studio 72 last fall.  The victim, Shayla Stevens, was working as a waitress at the nightclub when Da Brat struck her in the head with a bottle of rum after the waitress bumped into her.  This sentence concludes the criminal case, however Stevens has a civil case pending against Da Brat for unspecified medical and other costs.
