We've talked about this before (although, not for more than a year now), but Killer Mike was asked about the rumors about him going to Bad Boy in a HipHopGame.com interview and this is what he said:
There were rumors that you were going to Bad Boy.
I was. I really wanted to. I never went back to ask Puff for the deal after I left Purple Ribbon. Puff really was the person who gave me a lot of confidence to do exactly what you've been hearing out of me on Pledge and what you're going to hear on 16. I felt like Puff had his own lane. The months that we f***** around and hung out, it really motivated me and inspired me to do what I do. It wasn't a lot, but it was enough. I had seen the success of Yung Joc and Boyz N Da Hood and I was excited to see that but I felt like he was handled badly.
I'm not going to name names because that's not right, but there were four people involved in the Puffy situation. It was me, my manager and two heads of the label. Puff was lied to and he wasn't handled honestly. I didn't have the control to say what was happening. I did tell Puff if he was going to make an aggressive move, he had to do it now. He didn't do it because nobody wants to ruin relationships. I felt like he was dragged around because people were arguing over $70-80,000. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I couldn't put myself back in a situation where I look dishonorable. That's why I'm not on Bad Boy.
Puff, I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry you got d***** around. I'm sorry you got bulls******.
Take it for what it's worth, obviously. Hard to get a handle on what he's talking about, exactly.

With your questions in mind, I interviewed Jordan McCoy. Her debut album, "Just Watch Me", is slated for an August 14 release.
Jenn and Kristen asked: So, how'd you like your first radio tour? Was it what you expected?
I LOVED it!! I really didn't even know what to expect before I went into it... but, it was a ton of fun.
Jenn asked: Did you have any favorite stops or cities that you'd like to visit again when not touring?
I think all the cities were pretty cool and different. I can't wait to come do performances in all of them.
Jenn asked: Did anything strange or unusual happen during the tour?
Of course!! My life always has something strange and unusual going on! Haha. In Kentucky, Carol Channing was in our hotel lobby, so I met her and performed for her! It was awesome.

hellomagazin.com has the story and pictures. According to Times Online, he may also be eying a Formula One racing team.
Is P. Diddy planning to buy a Formula One team?
Apparently so. The rapper made the announcement to guests at a dinner to launch his new perfume, Unforgiven. �It seemed to be more than bravado on his part,� reports one guest, adding that Diddy had previously spent much of the evening huddled in a corner with Lewis Hamilton, the youthful British racing star. Still, Diddy is known for being an impulsive chap. Pink-and-gold pimpmobiles may indeed roar around Silverstone. Alternatively, he may end up with a bling Scalextric.
The articles both mention that he's launching his new fragrance, "Unforgiven"... but, I'm thinking this is just Unforgiveable as there would be more press if he was actually launching a new fragrance.
According to Your Local Guardian, Diddy booked a corporate box at Wimbledon for July 2 after attempting to get the royal box, which is invitation only.
SOHH.com has more on the "Life After Death" movie.
"Basically, it's a poorly kept secret that D-Roc always kept a video camera with him when he was with Big. It was kinda his own personal diary. I don't think he ever meant to release the tapes," said Maiya. "He contacted me and wanted to straighten out the story [concerning the shooting] because it was making Kim look dumb, like she lied for no reason and was making Gutter and D-Roc just look like criminals. To this day, nobody knows why [Lil'] Cease took the stand against them. He was telling press that he didn't tell the police anything they didn't already know but D-Roc and Gutter are in jail for a shooting that there was no weapon for."

B5 manager Jim McMahan dropped this bomb in the B5 forums:
B5's access granted is thurs july 5th as we are told by the label !! B5 should be on 106 & park next week to deliver their "Hydrolic" video and we need all of you to vote to make it #1!!!! We had a 40+ city tour with Aly & Aj scheduled for the summer and the label insisted that B5 do the "Scream Tour"! we passed on aly & aj's tour and now are told that "TI" has decided B5 shouldnt be on the tour. We dont agree but its not our decision. So at this point B5 has no schedule yet! I will let you know soon on what the schedule will be! Probably aug-sept promo tour.
It's a shame that happened as it'll make it harder to promote their album. But, that's how it works sometimes, I guess. If "Hydrolics" is a hit, though - they shouldn't have a problem setting up a new tour.
BET's schedule shows that B5 will be on Access Granted on July 5 at 8:00 PM.

Jordan McCoy will be on the Target Book Festival on September 15 in Boston and September 22 in Chicago.
There is a remix of "Five-0" floating around that features Wyclef, Swizz Beatz, Joc and VP Records' artist Assassin. It sounds pretty genuine, but it doesn't seem to be out there, yet. I'll post when I know more...
CD Universe is listing a "Music Video Interactive Disc" version of "Hustlenomics" with "Block Boy" listed as a bonus track.
