Drake's 250K Bar Mitzvah / T.I.'s Release Date / Why 50 Cent Doesn't Befriend Rappers / Free Joins Big Tigger On D.C. Radio

In today's rapper's delight, get the scoop on Drake's $250K pay day, T.I. expected release date, why 50 Cent says he isn't friends with Jay-Z, and what radio station just added Free to their lineup.

Former NBC/Universal president Jeff Zucker spared no expense for his son Andrew's bar mitzvah. Jeff had plans to book Kanye West for $800,000 but when the rapper's demands skyrocketed to $1M, Jeff backed out of the deal and booked Drake instead.

Lucky for Drake, Kanye's excessive demands resulted in a payday worth $250K for a one-time performance. Not bad.

Also in hip hop news.....

T.I. "The King Of The South" will be released on September 29 according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Hopefully, the rapper will be able to stay out of trouble this time.

And does 50 Cent have beef with Jay-Z?

In a recent interview, 50 Cent let it be know that he isn't friends with most rappers. While he doesn't have any beff with them, he says they are only business associates who use each other for money and energy.

“We don’t have those kinds of relationships. These people are people I associate with. We are in the same business. We are not necessarily friends. We don’t call each other for no reason. It’s not like we have something against each other to make us enemies. Me and Jay[-Z] will use each other. Repeatedly. For energy.”

BONUS:

1. It's been announced that former BET personality Free has signed on with WPGC and Big Tigger creating "The Big Tigger Morning Show With Free." The show can be heard from 6-10am M-F in the greater Washington, D.C./Baltimore area. Congrats to Free.
