Weezy F. Baby

This personality comes through on her latest single, “Official Girl,” featuring Lil Wayne, a song dedicated to independent-spirited ladies everywhere.
Cassie hopes that the song can spread the message of girl power and empower girls to stand up and take control of their romantic relationships.
Camron & Santana “What’s Beef”
![]()
Despite the business gripes, Santana still speaks fondly of Cam and yells “Dipset for life” consistently.
“I have no hard feelings towards Cam,” he explained. “I tell people I couldn’t do business with him. But I will say he gave me the biggest chance I needed. I’m a dude from the ‘hood, so the chance he gave me is a chance I needed to never turn back. I’m good. My artistry, my talent, my career was never built on controversy. So I would never come out and say a whole bunch of things that could be said. All I can say is, I’m sorry he can’t be here to be a part of what’s about to happen, because we’re about to tear ‘em up.”

Sandy “Pepa” Denton of rap group Salt-N-Pepa, is joining the ranks of celebrities releasing autobiographies. Her book, Let’s Talk About Pep, co-written with Karen Hunter, will be released by VH1 Books at the end of this month.
Most of you know me as Pep, or Pepa, the fun-loving half of Salt-N-Pepa,” she says. “I am the party girl, the one who is down for whatever. But behind the laughs and the smiles is a whole lot of pain.”
