Prior to the success of "Old Town Road," Lil Nas X was a broke college student with $5.62 in his bank account. Now that the remix of the song, featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, has topped the Bill- board Hot 100 for the seventh week in a row, the hot new rapper has money to spend, and spend he does.
It was reported by TMZ that the 20-year-old crooner gifted his collaborator the red Maserati GranTurismo that appears in the music video of their song. With the help of food delivery service Post- mates, Nas X had the car de- livered to Cyrus' Los Angeles home. He rolled up to Cyrus' offering up the sports car to show his appreciation for the

"It's yours! 'Old Town Road' number 1 — seven weeks straight," Nas X announced to Cyrus, while decked out in tan cowboy boots and a matte
black cowboy hat. In the video obtained by TMZ, Cyrus is visibly shocked by his new gift. "Wait a minute there's no way! 7 weeks! Wow man! That's.... Are you kidding me?! Are you serious man?"
Blac Chyna and her mom, Tokyo Toni, appear to be back on good terms nearly a year after Toni posted a video in which she called her daugh- ter “a mistake” and a “statu- tory rape baby.”
Chyna and Toni reunited at Sparkles roller-skating rink in Atlanta on Saturday (May 18), while attending the Trap
N Skate event, Us Weekly re- ports. In a video published by TMZ, Chyna is surprised to see her mother on the red car- pet but greets her mother with a big hug. When Toni leans in for a second hug, Chyna is visibly moved by the moment wiping a tear from her eye.
“She all right, she good!” Toni is heard saying.
Ice T Almost Shot An Amazon Delivery Driver, And Here's Why
As Ice T fans would know, the veteran New Jersey rapper holds nothing back, and is often quick to call it like he sees it. His Twitterverse gems are our personal sources for some of the best dad jokes on the internet, photos of his adorable pit bulls, solid life ad- vice and an occasional clap- back here and there.
But on Tuesday (May 21), the OG rap artist had some strong words for Amazon after a close call with one of their drivers. Here's what went down.

anything that signified he was dropping off the delivery on behalf of Amazon. He just no- ticed someone near his house dressed in regular street clothes, which led to him nearly firing off a weapon at the individual.
The "Lethal Weapon" rap- per didn't hesitate to put Ama- zon on blast for not doing more to ensure the safety of delivery drivers, stating "that sh** ain't safe." He offered some solid advice that the e- commerce giant should seri- ously consider: give drivers a vest that says "AMAZON DE- LIVERY."

TUPAC AND ALLEN HUGHES
R. Kelly: Singer Faces Dual Federal Indictiments In NYC And Illinois
Director Allen Hughes has closed a deal with the Shakur Estate that grants him full access to all of Tupac Shakur’s released and unre- leased recordings, writings and poetry. He will use all that to direct and exec produce a five-part documentary series on the late hip hop icon.
Hughes will make it his fol- low-up project to the superb HBO docuseries The Defiant
Ones, on Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre. The Tupac docu- mentary aims to be the first definitive, comprehensive project on Shakur with the full cooperation of the estate.
There is much terrain to cover even though he was only 25 when he was assassinated in 1996. Shakur blazed a trail in hip hop, social activism and movies before he was gunned down in Las Vegas.
R. Kelly could soon be bat- tling dual indictments in both New York and Illinois, as a grand jury is set to hear evi- dence related to sex trafficking claims against the disgraced singer.
Sources familiar with the in- vestigation tell The Blast via MSN that officials have been interviewing witnesses, and testimony will be presented in front of the grand juries in both the Southern District of New York and the Northern District of Illinois, the report

The federal investigation is

According to The Blast, the case involving Kelly and his associates centers on the pur- chasing of plane tickets for un- derage girls who were then transported across state lines for the purpose of engaging in sexual relations.
