Rick Ross has responded to accusations that lyrics from his verse on "You Don't Even Know" condone date rape. "There was a misunderstanding with a lyric or a misinterpretation. The term rape wasn't used. I would never use the term rape in my records. Hip-Hop don't condone that, the streets don't condone that. Nobody condones that. I just want to reach out to all the queens on my timeline, the beautiful ladies that were reaching out to me ... we don't condone rape and I'm not with that." What about putting "Molly all in her champagne, she ain't even know it/ I took her home and enjoyed that, she ain't even know it?" [AllHipHop]

Apparently Jennifer Lopez asked too much to perform at India's Premier League cricket tournament, and was summarily replaced by Pitbull for next week's event.

Chill. [TheNYPost]
