On Twitpic,Big Boi has posted a pair of pictures (1, 2) from the set of the music video shoot for Janelle Monae's "Tightrope," which he is featured on.

On Tuesday, Monae revealed that she had begun shooting two videos for songs from her forthcoming album, "The ArchAndroid."

The Diddy-featured remix tour rolls on. Ester Dean's "Drop It Low" gets the full treatment, with a remix featuring Lil' Wayne, Trey Songz, Chris Brown and Diddy, who opens the track with a short intro verse and adds ad-libs throughout. Listen at XXLMag.com.

Diddy and Rick Ross have been seen together a lot lately, both on wax and in person. They're both featured on the "O Let's Do It (Remix)" by Waka Flocka Flame, which has a music video on the way. They've even performed their verses in public.

Ross made a cameo appearance in the "Ciroc Star" music video from Chester French and appeared on the remix to Dirty Money's "Angels", adding a first verse and then a second for the music video.

On Sunday, according to a report by the L.A. Times a home said to be owned by a rap record label was broken into. There were some reports online indicating that the home was in some way affiliated with Diddy, whether he owned it or a label he was tied to owned it (which could be any number of labels).

We passed on the story here at Bad Boy Blog, as far as it's connection to Diddy, because it seemed flimsy and, really, it would only be newsworthy for us if Diddy or Bad Boy owned it and there was little indicating that as a fact.

Pop & Hiss has more on this story, which is why we're bringing it up now. They talked with publicist's for Diddy and Interscope, both of which denied any connection to the home.

Kane & Abel have a new song out titled "Big Shot," featuring Yung Joc on the chorus. Kane & Abel is a rap duo featuring twin brothers, formerly signed to No Limit Records. A Twitter profile purporting to be them mentions the song with Joc and plans to release an album in May.

On Twitter, Red Cafe announced that "Hottest in the Hood, Vol. 2" will be released in March 9 and will feature Diddy. Volume 1 released back in May.

March 9 will mark 13 years since the passing of The Notorious B.I.G.

The Twitter account of Cassie, previously @cassieventura, has been deleted. I checked to make sure that the username had not simply been changed and the account itself has been deleted.

In April, Brian Angel of Day26 deleted his account only to return in October.

It's a shame to see her leave the service, if that is what has happened. But, nothing is for everyone - Twitter included. We all have to decide what to spend our time on.
