Rihanna Turns The Camera On Chris

"She says she's going to release her own photos of Chris. She has less-than-flattering nude pics of him that she plans on leaking. Rihanna says he'll be really embarrassed," Rihanna's pal said. The source informed that Rihanna sets this plan once after she has calmed down from the rage after the leak of her nude photos. Not only pictures, Rihanna also reportedly plans to reveal Chris' sexual performance to make him ashamed. Rihanna is already telling friends that Chris was a clumsy novice at lovemaking until "she taught him everything he knows." The pal added, "She's going to ruin his sexy image."

Moreover, Rihanna is believed saying more scary threats as her early reaction when finding out her nude images plastered all over the Internet. "She was saying crazy things like, 'I'm going to burn down his house,'" a friend of the 21-year-old singer told the June 7 edition of Star magazine.

News: Chamillionaire Withdrawals From Mixtapes & Refuses To Drop New Album, "It's Not Coming Out"

Chamillionaire , who is known for his popular mixtapes, has announced he will no longer make mixtapes and he's broken the silence on his long-awaited Venom album.

"Fact. No more underground mixtapes after [Mixtape Messiah] part 7," he wrote unmodified. "No jacking beats and putting out full cds. That formula is old. To me. I have done it 100 million times and it just doesn't inspire me anymore. Sorry if it makes you feel a certain way. There are plenty other artists out there doing it that you can choose from...Fact. Venom isn't gonna drop. It's not coming out. I'm not dropped. Not depressed. I'm not sad. Just telling you what I'm thinking and what I'm gonna do. No press release about it. No label rep saying it. Straight from the boss' mouth...Past dope concepts will go into my vault. Key locked thrown away. Except for a couple of these that could fit anywhere. The music should fit together and not sound like it's all over the place." (Chamillionaire's MySpace)

Fabolous previously spoke on the problems with today's mixtape circuit.

"That game is really saturated," Fab said in an interview about the mixtapes. "I feel like you really have to do something special now, but there's not really anything special you can do on a mixtape besides trying different things musically or with the way you distribute it...There's nothing special to me about a mixtape now...There's pretty much one coming out every five minutes. Right now, I think the dopest thing is to have a mixtape online--don't even have a hard disc, because even that's slowed down. When was the last time someone went somewhere and bought a hard copy of a mix CD? So maybe the next step is to release something digitally and tie it in with that." (Hip Hop DX)

Chamillionaire's music career was jump-started via his mixtapes.

Through a prolific succession of mixtapes, Chamillionaire (born Hakeem Sediki) became known for his deep, versatile voice (he sings his own hooks very effectively) and lyrical ability. Originally part of Swishahouse, he switched to Paid in Full, where he and Paul Wall collaborated on 2002's Get Ya Mind Correct -- an album that sold 100,000 copies. Prior to inking his deal with Universal, he founded the Chamilitary label. (All Music)

News: Lil Wayne Promises "Rebirth" LP, "I Wanted Everyone To See My Growing Pains"

Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne recently spoke on his forthcoming album The Rebirth and said it will be released, despite multiple delays.

"Expect great music," Wayne said in an interview. "That's all I ever want them to expect from me. I wanted to grow and and show my growth as well. It's a difference from when you go in a room and come out and you're better and everyone says, 'How did you do that?' So with this album, I wanted everyone to see my growing pains." (MTV)

Cash Money Records co-founder Baby recently described the album as "great music."

"It's not a rock record," Baby said in an interview. "That's what I think people are getting misunderstood. When you speaking about a rock record, you think he's got a guitar and everything, but it's not that. It's going to be some of those types of beats, but it's just great music. I don't think no artist can do what he about to get done. My son is a rock star...He can rap, he can sing, he's just an artist...I don't think no one will ever be greater because I don't think no one puts in the time or the quality. If someone do come along, can you imagine what he'll have to do? He got to put out on thousand mixtapes, do a thousand records [and] sell 100 million records. 2Pac, Jay-Z and Biggie didn't get to the sh*t Wayne's done." (Vibe)

The project received its sixth pushback earlier this week.

April 7. May 19. June 9. June 16. June 23. July 21. Lil Wayne's Rebirth is hitting the road once again. After constant delays, Weezy's venture into rock has moved to August 18, Rap-Up.com can confirm. The album had most recently been scheduled for July 21. This is the sixth pushback for a project that was originally set for April. (Rap-Up)

Reports earlier this year hinted at the project possibly being shelved by Universal.

Universal big wigs are cautious of the rock album release considering the first single from the project, "Prom Queen", dropped in January but only reached No. 15 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Lil Wayne's manager Cortez Bryant has allegedly been advised against letting the star press ahead with the project. A source says, "If Wayne doesn't brighten up, they have to turn into Mr. Evil Record Company and just tell him it's never going to be released." (Examiner)
