Rich Homie Quan Apologizes To New York After Forgetting Notorious B.I.G. Lyrics

Quan has sent his apologies to the late Biggie Smalls as well as his city following his flubbed lyrics at the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors. While yesterday's VH1 Hip-Hop Honors was great for the most part (shout-out Teyana Taylor), the main takeaway from the glorious ode to Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott, Lil Kim, and Salt-N-Pepa seems to be the fact that Rich Homie Quan forgot the words to Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s "Get Money" -- specifically, Biggie's verse, which he was meant to be reciting. This certainly isn't the first time something like this has happened -- even at this event (Lupe Fiasco forgot the words to a Tribe Called Quest in 2007). As familiar as it may be, the roasting always follows, and this time there's even a meme to go along with it (#RichHomieKaraoke). Quan has been a good sport throughout it all, releasing a sincere apology on Instagram this evening. You can read his statement, in which he cites nerves and technical difficulties for the flub, as well as apologizes to New York, his fans, Lil Kim, and Biggie himself, below. I assure you that I never intended to disrespect Biggie Smalls. I have long respected his work and his contribution to the rap game.I greatly apologize not only to Biggie Smalls, but also to all of my fans and to New York. The city of New York has been nothing but good to me. I felt honored to stand on stage with artists I grew up listening to.Once on stage I had some technical difficulties and must admit I got nervous.I will forever be sorry to New York, my fans, Biggie Small, Lil Kim, and all the Hip Hop community for my performance. I hope you can accept my apology. To Lil Kim, Thank you for the opportunity. Rich Homie Baby

Dwyane Wade Has Informed The Chicago Bulls He Is Going To Sign With Them

D-Wade is going back to his hometown. After 13 seasons with the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade is moving on. Wade has informed the Chicago Bulls that he will be signing with them, despite the fact that Miami (and Denver) had more money to offer. Early reports suggest the deal with Chicago is for 2-years, $47 million. In order to pull off this move, the Bulls will need to unload some contracts and they're working to complete deals to trade Jose Calderon and Mike Dunleavy to help clear space for D-Wade. Even at 34 years old, Wade averaged 19 points, 4.6 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game for the Heat last season and now he'll get to play alongside one of the best two-way guards in the game, Jimmy Butler. And Rajon Rondo. The 13-year vet grew up in Chicago but has played his professional entire career in Miami, making 12 All-Star games and winning three NBA titles.

Erykah Badu Offers Response To Kendrick Lamar Romance Rumors

Erykah Badu clears up any misconceptions about her relationship with Kendrick Lamar. Apparently, since Kendrick Lamar dropped the lyric "Um, well cutie, I like your bougie bootie/Come Erykah Badu me/Hell, let’s make a movie," on Kanye West's "No More Parties In L.A." the internets have been abuzz with rumors that this means that K. Dot and the legendary singer are an item. For whatever reason, Badu has just this morning decided to respond to said rumors. There's nothing happening between Badu and Lamar, according to the singer, the rapper is actually quite shy. She starts by saying, "Kendrick aint called me since y'all made up some shit about us being in the trailer makin out so he missed his award." The two have apparently only met once, and that would be at the BET Awards in 2013, which the singer included a photo from in her tweet. She throws in a bit of wisdom in response to a fan: "It's not always betwixxx the thighs .. Sometimes it's between the ears."

Atlanta rapper and LHHATL guest star Sas was shot in the back of the head last night. He is currently in the hospital and appears to be in stable condition. Lyndon Akhil Smith, who raps under the name Sas and was a guest star on Season 5 of "Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta," was shot in the back of the head last night. Luckily, he is expected to survive the bullet wound to his head. Doctors apparently told him that he has a "thick skull." Sas, the son of "Love & Hip-Hop" regular Karen King, has achieved regional hits like "I'm a Dog" in his hometown of Atlanta. He was seen on LHHATL working with veteran producer Stevie J. Earlier today, he posted an Instagram picture of himself in a hospital bed, sitting up against a blood-soaked pillow. "Bullet in the bacc of my head they said Ima be aight tho," he told his followers.

Lil Wayne Responds To Jazz Cartier's "Lil Wayne"

"Lil Wayne" is now Lil Wayne's favorite song. Last night, Toronto's Jazz Cartier dropped off his first single since his excellent February album Hotel Paranoia. He titled the track "Lil Wayne," released as a tribute to the New Orleans rapper. Produced by Cartier's go-to guy, Lantz, it's also a fiery anthem that channels the street-bred adrenaline of peak-era Weezy. Upon hearing "Lil Wayne," one would think that it's quality was such that Tunechi would approve. Indeed -- not only does he approve of the tribute track; it happens to be his "new favorite song." Wayne tweeted his appreciation for the song that's named for him earlier this evening, shouting out both Cartier and Lantz. "I f'n luh dat shit!" he exclaimed. "Preshiate it!!" He described the song as being "Funny as fk but dope."
