Kevin Hart says: While on the Let Me Explain tour we made a stop in Toronto Canada. I decided to call my friend Drake and challenge him to a paintball competition. It was a good idea until I realized neither me or anybody else on my team had ever been paintballing before. Needless to say..it didn’t turn out like i thought it would.

A bizarre plot by a convicted murderer to have pop star Justin Bieber castrated and killed was uncovered back in December. Now a phone call placed by the inmate to the would be hit men has been released.
Dana Martin
Dana Martin, who’s currently serving two life sentences for raping and killing a 15-year-old girl hatched a plot to have Bieber and his bodyguard murdered. Martin enlisted the help of former inmate pal, Mark Staake, and Staake’s nephew, Tanner Ruane to carry out the crime.
In the phone call released today by TMZ, Martin details plans for the hit.
“Did [Staake] go over the Bieber thing with you?” Ruane replied, “Nuh-uh. The way I like to work, dude – I like to know as little as possible. He’s gonna use one of the things you gave him, and then he’s gonna take care of it.”
They further discussed how Bieber and his bodyguard would be castrated then killed. “We went and bought the hedge clippers,” said Ruane. “You’re gonna give me five large ($5,000) for each one I get.” Martin instructed the pair to suffocate the 18-year old singer and his bodyguard. ”Tie it really tight, and that cuts off all the oxygen, and then tie it in the back again, really tight,” Martin instructed. “That seals the deal.” Being the idiots that they are, the plan was foiled because the phone calls were monitored. Staake and Ruane were arrested by border patrol agents after making a wrong turn into Canada. All three men now face two counts each of conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit aggravated battery.

With a hefty number of years in the game, Brooklyn-born rapper AZ is all too familiar with the major vs. independent debate. And while speaking with TorontoRappers.com, the noted emcee didn’t hesitate in giving his opinion on which he thinks is the better route for up-and-coming artists. AZ revealed that he’s personally not a fan of the 360 deal, but shared that he can understand why an artist would take that route. “Me personally I wouldn’t do it, but you know artists wanna do what they gotta do,” said AZ in regards to artists and 360 deals with labels. “When I came in the game being signed to a major was a good thing cause they dealt with the publicity, getting your name out there. Which is good for artists, you know what I mean, I don’t think no one should come in the game say, ‘I’mma just do this independent if they money ain’t right.’ Cause they pay to play…It’s like playing chess or checkers or whatever you do. You say to yourself, ‘You know what? I’mma sign with the majors, but I’mma just give them two or three albums.’ Cause they might not go for the one off.”
Prior to speaking on the independent vs. major label debate, AZ gave props to a handful of Hip Hop newcomers including J. Cole and Drake, even referring to the latter as a “great lyricist.” “Drake came through and did his thing. Honestly, he’s a great lyricist to me. He’s a great lyricist. I think I shouted that out in another interview. Him, J. Cole, there was a couple of other cats that I appreciate that’s on the come-up, that’s representing Hip Hop,” AZ explained. “And he doing it big for Canada. He doing it big for the game itself.”
