Waka Flocka "I’ll Never Work With Wiz Khalifa"
After taking a few jabs at Wiz Khalifa late last year, Waka Flocka now insists that he has no beef with the rapper, just don't expect them to collaborate.
In a sit down with Angie Martinez for Hot 97, Waka's comments about Wiz "he's got "no swag" and is hype-ing his way to the top"
Flocka then said "I stated my opinion because it's true and it’s fact."
Angie asked if he would ever work with him but the Brick Squad rapper wasn't too keen on the idea.
"Negative. Negative. Negative," he said. "That's like me being a gangsta and then rapping about cookies and creams and lollipops. What you gon' call me? Nice guy or a sucka?"
Despite his reluctance to embrace Khalifa, Waka said he has cousins who like the Pittsburgh rapper and that his fans should support him as well.
Who's side are you on?

New Mixtape: Wiz Khalifa "Taylor Allerdice"
Newly engaged Taylor Gang leader Wiz Khalifa released a new mixtape, "Taylor Allerdice," The 17-track release is more in line with his laid-back 2011 debut, "Rolling Papers," than his previous mixtape, the intense "Cabin Fever."
The vibe of "Taylor Allerdice" recalls Curren$y's more consistent tapes, with sunny, synth-led production from I.D. Labs, Cardo and Jake One, and weed-infused ruminations on the good life.
The mixtape serves as a stopgap between the "Black and Yellow" rapper's debut disc and his upcoming sophomore release, "O.N.I.F.C.," due out later this year. Earlier this month, the rapper popped the question to Rose, posting a picture of the ring and the caption "She Said Yes" on Twitter.

News: Wiz Khalifa Signs Juicy J To Label
Wiz Khalifa has always been a fan of Three 6 Mafia, and what's not to love? With a rowdy rap catalog that includes the hits "Tear da Club Up," "Sippin' on Some Syrup" and "Stay Fly," Three 6 has grown to become one of hip-hop's most iconic groups. And the Pittsburgh hitmaker will be working with the Mafia's Juicy J closely now that he has signed him to his Taylor Gang label.
For Wiz, this is an opportunity to link up with an artist that he has looked up to for a long time. "Well, I've always been a huge fan of Juicy J and Three 6 Mafia and what they brought to the game," he said. "As far as their music, as far as their consistency, as far as just if you're in that mood and you know what you wanna hear, they brought it and I respected that. And they brought it for years, since I was young."
"I remember when 'Tear da Club Up' first came out and I remember when 'Stay Fly' came out, and those are two huge songs from the same group of people who never fell off or lost it at all. And I really look up to that and respect that."
Turns out, according to Khalifa, Juice was a fan of Wiz as well. "It was like, 'Man we might as well bridge the gap and takeover,' because he's gonna be here forever and I'm gonna be here forever."

News: Wiz Khalifa Defends Amber Rose's Naked Pics
In an interview with Sister 2 Sister magazine, the "Black and Yellow" rapper defended Amber Rose, her leaked pics and her stripper past. “I could see if that was what she was doing while I’m with her or something like that and it was in a disrespectful way, but it’s nothing like that.
It’s not even, like, the pictures or her past is a raunchy past,” said Wiz of Amber. “She did what she had to do. There’s plenty of powerful women who overcame that, and that’s what she really is, an example of what work and faith in God, you know what I’m saying, can get you into a positive situation. You can make a positive out of a negative.”
Wiz also responded to critics who say that Amber is just out for fame. “The biggest misconception about Amber is that she wants attention,” added Wiz. “Everybody thinks that she does stuff for attention and that she loves attention, but she’s really, really reserved and shy. She just gets attention ’cause she’s dope.”
Is this what they call real love?

News: Wiz Khalifa Cleared Of Felony Drug Charges
Wiz Khalifa's felony marijuana charges have been dropped.
North Carolina District Attorney Clark Everett dropped a felony drug trafficking count against the rapper, who was arrested on November 8 following a show on the campus of East Carolina University after police found marijuana on his tour bus.
But according to Everett, the trafficking charge was in error, because the amount of marijuana seized on the bus slightly more than 2 ounces, it did not exceed the 10-pound threshold required to make the count stick.
In the days following his arrest, Keith Stroup, legal counsel for the marijuana advocacy group NORML, predicted to MTV News that it was likely Khalifa's attorney would arrange for such a plea deal, in which the rapper, or one of the other men arrested, would agree to possession of marijuana for personal use.

News: Luke Calls Out Wiz Khalifa
Luther "Luke" Campbell doesn't think it's cool that Wiz Khalifa is dating Kanye West's ex, Amber Rose. In his "Miami New times" blog, Uncle Luke chastised Wiz and other young rappers for breaking the hip hop code of not dating each others exes.
"The boy behind the hit 'Black & Yellow' has lost his mind over a woman interested only in hogging his spotlight," writes Uncle Luke. "For months, Wiz has been dating former stripper Amber Rose, whose claim to fame is that her ex-boyfriend is Kanye West…But Wiz Khalifa broke a cardinal rule in the rap game. You don't date another rapper's ex-girlfriend."
The veteran Miami rapper goes on to call out Soulja Boy for picking up with Diamond where Lil Scrappy left off and Memphitz for marrying Lil Wayne's ex-wife Toya. Luke admonishes that although professional athletes are used to playing wife swap, the rap game is different because when rappers are chosen they usually stick with that one woman and cited Jay-Z, Will Smith, Ice Cube, Ice-T and himself as prime examples.
