First single from Ace Hood’s new album Ruthless. Yeah, I said new album.

Diddy & Akon, along with Cassie & her new do, made appearances at Justin’s in Atlanta for the Bad Boy showcase. Here’s part of his speech to DJs where he gives them props, talks about the future of Bad Boy, and a collaboration with Akon & Konvict Muzik. Diddy is definitely one of the most inspirational motivators in the game. He also stuck around to take pictures with everyone and hooked the DJs up with free drinks at the club that night.

Look at what we started…SMH.

You may recognize T-Pain’s artist, Tay Dizm, from this song or may this one or maybe this. If that doesn’t help, I don’t know what else to tell you. Tay Dizm’s album Welcome to the New World is coming soon.

Another banger from the incredibly talented, unstoppable duo of T-Pain and Akon who are dominating the music charts and may be slightly upset with OZONE right now for this but we still love them.

Oh yeah, Khaled’s artist Ace Hood is on here too.

Not really sure what all this is about, but it has something to do with this story about T-Pain’s daddy and the reponse from Blu. T-Pain’s daddy sounds pretty pissed off.

Spotted this over at the AllHipHop rumor section.

I guess Ace Hood is putting in overtime to make up for that last album. This is a good start.

Shaheed Najm & his son Fahiym “T-Pain” Najm in 2005

Tensions have been high between T-Pain and his father/former manager Shaheed Najm ever since Shaheed was left sitting alone at the negotiating table at Interscope Records in L.A. while his son signed paperwork with Akon’s Konvict Music label in Atlanta back in 2005. Needless to say, both Pain and Akon have been riding high on the music charts since then, while Shaheed has been sitting on the sidelines in quiet resentment being treated like “a crackhead” (in his opinion) by his son’s management.

According to Bossip.com, T-Pain was previously quoted as saying:

“Now my dad asks for money every time I talk to him, and that’s just weird. He and I used to get along fantastic — until all the dollar signs. My whole family, man, they see what they see and they automatically ask for stuff. It ain’t a problem except when they ask for shit they don’t need. I bought my mom a house and a Porsche truck. I bought my sister a Buick truck. I gave my dad $20,000. I didn’t even feel that one. But he asked for more, like, two days later. It got to the point where he straight up said, ‘Gimme $250,000 and you don’t have to worry about me no more.’ Like, what the fuck? That’s a payoff for your dad?”

When we reminded him of this quote during his November OZONE cover story interview, he clarified that it was taken out of context. Regardless, the $250,000 blackmail rumors seemed to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Furious at the perceived insult to his manhood and fatherhood, T-Pain’s father requested a chance to respond in an interview format. The “interview” turned into an hour-long monologue condensed below (yeah, that’s “condensed”.. you shoulda seen the full version) as an OZONE exclusive which also appears in the March print edition of the mag.
