If you didn’t know already, we here at Think2Wice have a special place in our heart for rapper Yung Berg. It’s an extremely dark corner with no A/C, no water, no nothing. Close your eyes and imagine “hell.” Yeah, not that bad, but damn near close (because we don’t have hell in our hearts lol). So basically, whenever you hear the name “Yung Berg” (or Yung Fag) mentioned on T2W, know that something has happened to him that allows us to make fun of him. But anyway, Yung Fag got into a scuffle over the weekend which resulted in him getting his chain (pictured above) snatched and he ended up leaving the scene with a couple scrapes and bruises. Here’s what happened, according to Necole Bitchie.
Yung Berg flew into Detroit late friday night for Hot 102.7’s annual Summer Jamz concert but instead of going straight to his hotel as scheduled, he made a pit stop at a club called Plan B, which i’m hearing is partially owned by Detroit rapper Trick Trick. Now mind you, Berg didn’t tell his label, his management or anyone that he was about to sneak off to the club.
Finally … some good news! Yung Berg, best known as the guy who doesn’t like “dark butts,” has been arrested on a series of drug and weapons charges. The rapper, whose real name is Christian Ward, has been charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of marijuana and menacing following a police investigation on Saturday.
According to reports, Yung Fag and four of his boys got into a dispute with a limo driver in New York over the weekend, prompting a call to authorities. This type of behavior comes as no surprise seeing as Yung Fag is signed to DMX’s label. And y’all know how he rolls…
Here are some pics of Yung“I don’t like dark-butts”Berg backstage at a show fiddling around in his undies for something. Whatcha lookin for Yung Berg? Fill in the blank! (Note: one more pic after the cut)
Yung Berg is looking for _______________. That’s why he’s messing around in his drawls!
UPDATE: So I was reading over at Necole Bitchie and came across these flicks. Apparently Yung Fag was ON STAGE when he did this and threw the towel into the audience and some broad caught it. Shortly aftwards, he was thrown out of the arena by the concert prometers. SMH.
NEW YORK // WEDNESDAY, JULY 9TH 2008 » Yung Berg attended his album listening party for his debut LP, Look What You Made Me at Legacy Studios with loyal fans. Ray J stopped by to show support. Yung Berg debut album is still not due until August 12th. Meanwhile he has two singles out, “Do That There” and “The Business”, and is still promoting the album. Check out more pics from the party after the click.
NEW YORK // MONDAY, JUNE 30TH 2008 » G-Unit stopped by MTV’s TRL yesterday to promote their album, T.O.S. (Terminate On Site) which is in stores now today on iTunes. Not sure if G-Unit will reconcile their differences with Young Buck but I know they now out casted him on the album as well as a featured artist (lol). Yung Berg also dropped by to spot his own album, Look What You Made Me, coming out August 12th.
Our friends over at Rap-Up.com did a video interview with Yung Berg and he got to talking about his upcoming album, Look What You Made Me (Epic), which is due in stores August 12th. He also talked ghost writing for other artists and how he claims he’s the “prince” of the game supposedly coming at Bow Wow. He also mentioned who wrote Bow Wow’s hits like “Shortie Like Mine” and “Bounce Wit Me”. Is this new beef? Check out the interview above.
Y’all know it’s that time of the year again. Spring Bling 2008, BET’s annual spring break celebration, was filmed this year in Riviera Beach, Florida. You already know this shit is gonna be on repeat for the next couple of months. So until that happens, maybe these flicks will hold you over!
Yung Berg made a name for himself with the Top 10 iTunes track Sexy Can I w/ Ray-J and last summer’s smash Sexy Lady. His new single Do That There showcases a different, harder side of BERG. “Ya know, ya know, ya know!!” LOL
MTV News has obtained a federal complaint filed on behalf of former Pretty Ricky member Pleasure by his attorneys Robert Meloni and Steve Schwartz.
In the complaint, the R&B singer (born Marcus Cooper), alleges a number of wrongdoings against Joseph “Blue” Smith and Bluestar Entertainment, the company Pretty Ricky is signed to in a deal with Atlantic Records. The group’s management and booking company, International Artist Agency, is also named in the suit.
According to Pleasure, Smith deceived the singer by first acting as a surrogate father to him and also serving in roles that were conflicts of interest for Pleasure and the group, including acting as a personal manager, business manager, booking agent, record exec and music publisher. The suit alleges that Smith “exploited conflict of interests in the competing roles he occupied in Cooper’s life.”
International Artist Agency, headed by Stephen Brush, is alleged to have abetted a number of Smith’s practices, according to the complaint.
Pleasure, according to the information filed earlier this week, is seeking a release from his contract with Bluestar and back pay owed to him. The suit claims that the former Pretty Ricky star has not been properly compensated for his contributions to the group, whose two albums have both been certified gold (500,000 Units sold).
The suit also alleges that Smith used physical intimidation. According to the complaint, when Pleasure began to distance himself from the group and sought out the friendship of others, in one instance, Smith attacked a friend of the singer’s as a means of coercion.
Pleasure first raised eyebrows earlier this year on the red carpet at the BET Hip Hop Awards, when he announced he was leaving the successful act. The group’s only singer told the media he would be pursuing a solo career instead.
