Dwayne Johnson Ties The Knot In Secret Hawaiian Wedding: 'We Do.'
A$AP Rocky Reacts To Guilty Verdict: ‘I'm Disappointed’
American rapper A$AP Rocky took to Instagram on Wednesday afternoon to say he was “disappointed” after a Swedish court ruled he was guilty of assault. Swedish au- thorities arrested the Harlem- born rapper on July 3, a few days after an altercation took place between Rocky and 19- year-old Mustafa Jafari.
In his Instagram post, Rocky expressed gratitude for those who had supported him throughout his ordeal. “I want to say thanks again to all of my fans, friends, and everyone who showed me love during this difficult time. Imma keep moving forward. Thank you to my team, my management, at- torneys, label and everyone

who advocated for justice.” Rocky will pay a fine equiva- lent to $1,500 USD and will not face prison time.
Dwayne Johnson is offi- cially a married man.
The "Hobbs & Shaw" star took to Instagram early Mon- day morning to post official pictures and reveal that he married his longtime girl- friend, Lauren Hashian, in Hawaii on Sunday.
"We do," he wrote next to the date to caption some gor- geous pictures of the duo.
Johnson and Hashian are dressed in all-white in the shots and they are all-smiles on their big day.
The superstar has some amazing "congrats" messages on the post from the likes of Tom Brady and Kevin Hart. The post also has close to 2.5 million likes as of early Monday morning.
Johnson and Hashian have been together for more than a decade and are par- ents to two daughters, Jas- mine and Tiana. Johnson

also has another daughter, Simone, from a previous re- lationship.
Aside from posting beau- tiful wedding pictures, you'll often see Johnson just being a dad to his three beloved girls on his Insta- gram. He's also one to brag about his "better half," the woman who is "The Rock" and support behind one of the biggest superstars in the world.
Last month, he wrote, "Pleasure to rock the @hobb- sandshaw world premiere w/ my much better half & beau- tiful smoke show @lauren- hashianofficial. Best part about this night is by 11pm, we’re already at home, in our sweatpants and sippin’ on tequila. My kinda night and my kinda gal. The strength & coolness of a woman comes in many many different forms."
Rick Ross Responds To Nicki
Minaj's 'Sit Your Fat A**
Down' Comment
Jeezy And Meek Mill Return To The Block On The Street Anthem, ‘MLK Blvd’
NEW YORK, NY – Rick Ross stopped by The Break- fast Club this week to discuss Port Of Miami 2, his forth- coming memoir Hurricanes and a bevy of other topics. After revealing he used to sleep on Erick Sermon’s floor back in the day, he was inevitably asked about the comments Nicki Minaj made about him during a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast.
Nicki claimed she went to speak with President Obama about Meek Mill, her boyfriend at the time, and saw a text from Ross calling her a “keeper.” So when Ross dissed her on 2017’s Rather You Than Me track “Apple Of My Eye,” she told Budden she believed it was a cheap tac- tic sell records and ordered Ross to “sit your fat a**down.”
Ross explained to The Breakfast Club (rather diplo- matically) that Nicki was an obstacle between Drake and Meek back then but is grate- ful everyone moved on.
“I mean, if somebody went to meet Obama with you, she is a keeper until you find out otherwise,” Ross said. “She was around me a few times but other than that, she was a huge talent but she was playing a very important position at the

time. She was in between Meek and Drake at the time. And what she don’t know, and what she might not under- stand coming from a big homie like myself, playing that position, that was a very fragile role. And it would be very easy to put that responsibility on her. But that ain’t what I tried to make it to.
“But most definitely when I seen it go sour, it would be easy to assume she may have had something to do with that and if somebody tells you they didn’t, they’re lying. But every- body moved forward. She moved forward, she doing her thing. I’m happy to see her do that. Meek doing his thing. Drizzy, they doing they thing.”
The final installment of Jeezy’s Thug Motivation se- ries is set to hit stores and streaming August 23, so today, the veteran Atlanta trap rapper dropped a new single to feed the streets — one street in particular. “MLK Blvd” features Meek Mill and Jeezy going in on a vintage Lex Luger beat, de- livering a block-beating an- them about their days spent hustling in the hood for sur- vival. Check it out below.
Jeezy sounds revitalized on the new single, sprinkling his verse with topical refer- ences to both peers and pop

stars, with a special shout- out to Donald Trump thrown in for good measure.
His slow-spoken style con- trasts interestingly with Meek Mill’s more rapid-fire pacing, a shotgun blast com- pared to an automatic. Meek flexes his income and threat- ens any potential haters, act- ing “like a scammer” at Neiman Marcus and telling his driver to “go get the ham- mer.”
Both rappers are on some- thing of a comeback, with Meek flying high after serv- ing a large part of 2018 in prison.
TM 104: The Legend Of The Snowman is due August 23 via Def Jam Recordings.
Nicki Minaj Changes Twitter Name To 'Mrs. Petty'
Although Nicki Minaj re- ferred to her boyfriend Ken- nth Petty as her “husband” multiple times on the most recent episode of Queen Radio, she later explained they weren’t officially mar- ried — yet.
She did, however, say they had obtained a marriage li- cense and would tie the knot in the next 90 days.
But it appears she may have already walked down the aisle. On Friday (August 16), Black Barbie changed her official Twitter handle to
NICKI MINAJ AND KENNETH PETTY
“Mrs. Petty,” indicating
they’re already married. Nicki has stirred up plenty of internet chatter this week in the wake of her ex- plosive Queen Radio episode. She not only got into a heated argument with Joe Budden on air, she also went on The Joe Budden Podcast the fol- lowing day and called out Rick Ross for dissing her on 2017’s Rather You Than Me
cut “Apple Of My Eye.”
She then accused Charla- magne Tha God of starting a Nicki “hate train,” some-
thing he denied.
