After President Obama’s historical announcement that he is for same-sex marriage, a number of celebrities have also joined his position and come out in support of gay marriage including, Jay-Z, Floyd Mayweather, and most recently, T.I.

In an interview with MTV Rap Fix on Wednesday night (May 16), T.I. said, “Just to speak honestly and being frank, I don’t care. I think that if a matter doesn’t affect your daily life, you shouldn’t take a hard stand on it.”

The “Rubber Band Man” rapper continues, “If it’s not something that directly affects you, if it doesn’t affect you, what difference does it make to you what other people are doing with their lives?”

Watch T.I. and Sway talk below.

President Obama made a bold move by declaring his support for gay marriage, and it seems as though hip-hop is coming forward to make a change.

Hip-Hop legend, Lil Kim pulled a brave move by stopping by the most slanderous radio show in the country, The Breakfast Club. The queen bee discussed a variety of topics including her beef with Nicki Minaj, Azealia Banks, recording new music, plastic surgery and more. Listen below.

Nicki Minaj & Chris Brown  for the “Right By My Side” official video. “Right By My Side” is the 2nd official single off her struggling sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. Instead of doing the predictable “Right Thru Me” storyline, Nicki couples up with Mr. Illmatic himself, the rap legend Nas. The song peaked at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it’s not blowing up on Urban Radio like expected. Chris Brown’s next album Fortune will finally be in stores this July. Is it too little too late? Watch the new video below.

Carrie Underwood just nabbed herself a second week at #1 thanks to her newly released album, Blown Away, and with good reason as her promotional campaign has been insane! Good Morning America, American Idol, David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and most recently a performance on Dancing with the Stars.

Watch the Grammy winner perform her top 20 single, ‘Good Girl’ below.

Look for Carrie to continue her extensive media blitz with a performance on the Billboard Music Awards this Sunday, May 20 at 8pm on ABC..

Underrated R&B veteran, Tamia is back to bless us with a new album called Beautiful Surprise due out later this year. Back in March, the title track/ lead single premiered and the video was shot, and now behind the scenes footage of the shoot has emerged.

The Ryan Pallotta directed clip features Tamia’s basketball hubby, Grant Hill in a video described as, “simple, chic, and sexy.” Watch below.

I’m glad that Tamia is back because her presence is truly needed in today’s R&B. Let’s hope that she’s chosen to pay tribute to Whitney Houston either at the BET Awards in July, or VH1′s Diva’s tribute this December.

T.I. is back with another new one off his upcoming album, Trouble Man. While the lead single, ‘Love This Life‘ was more radio friendly, ‘Like That’ was created strictly for the streets.

T.I. also revealed to Angie Martinez on Tuesday, May 15, that Trouble Man will hit stores on Sept 4th and that the second season of A Family Hustle will premiere on Sept 3rd. Coincidence. NOPE.
