Gossip: Charlamagne Ethers Lil Wayne

http://theblueprintmagazine.com/images_frt4/621_wayne1.png

It all started last Sunday when Lil Wayne was reportedly kicked out of a Miami Heat home game vs. the Los Angeles Lakers for rooting for his out of town squad (The Heat say this is untrue). Weezy went off on Twitter and made it public that he had no love for the team that houses stars like Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Well, now it seems that the die-hard sports fanatic has been banned from all NBA games and events. Last night, at an All Star after party in Houston, Weezy went off the NBA and Miami Heat. He claims the Heat had a hand in his ban. He cursed out the team’s star players and even said he had extramarital affairs with Chris Bosh’s wife. Of course, his words weren’t as nice. So of course our friend Charlamagne Tha God gave him Donkey Of The Day on Power 106 -- listen to both audio clips after the jump. [Hear More]

In it's early stage, the all-electric DMC-12 features 35 kilowatts of power and a lithium iron phosphate battery pack – thus providing more than 250 hp and allowing the car to reach speeds of more than 100 mph with acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in less than five seconds.

We've gotten on the Detroit Pistons early and often this NBA season for sucking. They've had an absolutely horrendous start to their season and, frankly, there's no reason to believe that it's going to get any better anytime soon.

However, we'd like to put all that aside for a second and say that we're really glad to hear that the team is okay after a scare earlier today. [Read More]
