If you didn’t bang Carmen, you probably aren’t that famous

It’s always amusing to watch NBA players fail at living a rapper’s lifestyle. Their albums flop…Their chains get snatched…A white guy fines them when they sag their pants.

Leave it to Allen Iverson to score one for the ballers.

As first bought to my attention by The Big Lead and SOHH, world famous groupie ho Carmen Bryan is releasing an autobiography detailing her relationships with hip hop stars Jay Z and NAS (she has a child with each) and admitting that she was sleeping with Iverson while dating NAS.

While many blogs and Page Six in the New York Post are talking about AI being a “sexual warrior,” -something I can only hope someone writes about me one day- I find the way she treated NAS to be far interesting.

“In the middle of our session, Allen asked ‘Why Nas ain't marry you yet?’ I
wasn't sure how to respond so I said what came to mind naturally, ‘Well if he
did, I wouldn't be here with you right now.’ ‘True.’ He replied with a
smile.”

“When I arrived Nas got in my car and we talked for a long
while. After our conversation, we went upstairs to Rennette's apartment and
picked up Destiny (their child), who was wearing one of Allen's T-shirts as a
nightgown”

One can only hope this leads to a diss track to or from the Answer.

More on Telfair's Hoodlum Antics

So if yesterday there was absolutely no chance that Sebastian Telfair had anything to do with Fabolous’ shooting, today there’s at least a glimmer of hope.

The New York Post reports that Telfair was overheard making a phone call shortly after his $50,000 chain was stolen saying, “Get over here and take care of it.” It’s pretty clear that he wasn’t talking to the police.

The article leads you to believe that someone in Fabolous’ entourage did steal Telfair’s chain. If that ends up true, whether the police prove it or not, then the former Lincoln High star probably had to be involved in the shooting.

My stance remains the same. I’m all for this story being true. While Ray Allen overcame the prevalent Coney Island temptations in He Got Game, Telfair appears to be the anti-Jesus Shuttlesworth. He’s hood and the league isn’t going to change him. Watch your back Rajon Rondo.

As for Fabolous, well, I guess if gunshots don’t kill ya, they’ll probably help you sell records. Getting shot by an NBA player (or his friends,) living to tell about it and presumably keeping Telfair’s chain is instant street cred in my book.

Telfair’s Chain Gets Snatched

I have to admit I thought it was a little bit strange that Boston Celtics’ guard Sebastian Telfair was having his best game of the preseason the other night against the Knicks before failing to emerge from the locker room for the second half.

But Doc Rivers said he was sick and it was left at that.

It turns out that Telfair spent the second half with the NYPD looking through lineups to try and spot the guy who jacked his $50,000 chain outside of P-Diddy’s nightclub. The same night, rapper Fabolous was shot in the leg outside of the same place later on that night.

ESPN later published unconfirmed reports that some of the men with Fabolous were in the lineups.

Bossip, who at least claims to have sources in the “streets,” says both the “streets” and the NYPD were looking to talk to Telfair and his brother about their possible connection to the shooting.

I’m not sure what to believe but for the good of the story, I hope it turns out that there is a connection between the robbery and the shooting. Imagine the implications on the hip hop world.

Telfair is a close friend of Jay-Z and maybe this little mishap could insight an all out east coast on east coast rap war. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if Fab wears the stolen necklace in his next video.

Too bad Telfair wasn’t carrying his gun this time.
