hit up the show can! and you don't even gotta make that road trip....but wait...they did say PAY-Per-View, so I'm wondering

After proclaiming to be the “Cash Money hater,” Juvenile made sure the rest of his sentiments about Baby
were made very clear on the Star and Buc Wild Show on New York City’s Power 105.1 Tuesday morning (March 7th).
“I’m
going to show the world you’re a sissy boy and I’m going to smack you when I see you,” Juve, the former
Cash Money soldier, warned Baby. “Stop running from me when you throw your parties.”
Juvenile later disclosed
that he ended up with $6 million in his split from Cash Money. The New Orleans native is currently prepping a House of Blues
tour and would be game to jump on a tour with the Oscar-winning Three 6 Mafia, if they decide to go that route.

Mac minster a real killa--
The 35-year-old Bay Area rapper (born Andre Dow) was arrested on a federal warrant charging him with unlawful flight
to avoid prosecution.
As SOHH previously reported, Mac Minister was being sought for his connection in the May 2005
murders of Kansas City rapper Fat Tone (born Anthony Watkins) and his friend Jermaine "Cowboy" Akins.
Fat Tone and
Akins were last seen leaving a Las Vegas hotel with Dow and were later found shot dead at a construction site by a security
guard.
"I don't know if [Dow] lives there, but that's where he was" San Francisco police Sgt. Neville Gittens told
reporters.
According to FBI officials, the operation to capture Mac Minister went smoothly except for a brief "verbal
standoff" with a female occupant of the home.
Mac Minister had fled Las Vegas after being indicted on two counts of
murder in the aforementioned double homicide.
Authorities believe Fat Tone's death could have been in retaliation
for the killing of Bay Area rapper Mac Dre. Dre was shot and killed in a 2004 drive by shooting, on Kansas City's S. 71 highway.
Fat Tone was considered a person of interest in the murder but never a suspect.
Early into the investigation of Fat
Tone's murder, police arrested Jason Mathis, Mac Minister's friend, who is still in custody and awaiting trial in Las Vegas.
A white Pontiac Sunfire, owned by Lee "Alana" Danae Laursen, Mathis's girlfriend, was seen leaving the scene of the
murder. The car was later found burning at Sixth Street and Cherry Avenue early morning on May 25, 2005. Six months later,
Laursen was found dead close to a curb in Fairfield, California.
Police haven't made any arrests in Laursen's murder
but Mac Minister is a prime suspect.
Rough month for Busta Rhymes.
Just weeks after the fatal shooting of his bodyguard, the "Gimme Some More" emcee has
been slapped with an assault suit filed by an autograph-seeking fan.
CHECK INSIDE FOR THE COMPLETE STORY...Melvin
Smith, 37, filed the civil suit in Manhattan Supreme Court alleging that he was beaten by the rapper (whose real name is Trevor
Smith, but is no relation to the plaintiff) and another member of his security team. The suit says Rhymes and his lackey attacked
Smith with their "hands and fists for no rhyme or reason" when he approached the rapper for a John Hancock.
The incident
supposedly took place six months ago at a sandwich shop near New York's City Hall, according to Smith's lawyer, Bruce Regenstreich.
"My client was not aggressive in seeking the autograph," Regenstreich told reporters. "Melvin went in to get an autograph
and got a knuckle sandwich instead."
According to the New York Post, Smith initially claimed it was just Rhymes' bodyguard,
Troy Green, who was beating him, but has since amended his story and suit to include the Grammy winner.
Smith is seeking
unspecified damages from Green and Rhymes, claiming he was unable to resume his job as a handyman due to the "serious bodily
injuries" he sustained from the run-in.
According to Regenstreich, Smith suffered severe neck and back pain as a result
of the scuffle, in addition to a deep cut near his eye that required four stitches. The attorney told the Post that his client
is "continuing to have headaches, back problems and sleepless nights" due to the purported pummeling.
"He asked for
an autograph, and the next thing he knew he was lying on the floor," Regenstreich said. "He just wanted [Rhymes'] autograph.
He didn't want his fingerprints on his face."
Rhymes has yet to comment on the suit's allegations, which is proving
to be a pattern for the legally in-demand rapper.
Last month, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly slammed the hip-hopster
for refusing to speak with investigators probing the slaying of bodyguard Israel Ramirez, gunned down during a Feb. 5 video
shoot in Brooklyn.
Police involved in the case say the rapper's silence is impeding the officers' investigation and
may result in the case, and Rhymes, going before a grand jury.
The 29-year-old Ramirez was killed after being struck
by a bullet fired by an unknown assailant, who unloaded more than a dozen bullets in a crowd of nearly 500 on-set extras.
Ramirez had accompanied his boss of more than a decade to the star-studded set, where Rhymes was filming a video for a remix
of "Touch It" featuring cameos by DMX, Missy Elliott, Mary J. Blige and G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo.
Last
week, the New York Daily News reported that police were examining an audiotape of the altercation that led up to the shooting,
but the department has refused to elaborate on the contents.
Rhymes has since returned to the West Coast to finish
work on the video. The rapper's label released a teaser clip of the remixed song on Wednesday.
