Also, for the first time, pretty much, Nas is breaking his silence on the MAJOR controversy earlier this year which resulted with a U.S. promoter being kidnapped for a show that never went down in Angola.  Nas, sat down with MTV news and this is what he had to say;

He wanted me to come to Africa for New Year's.  Which to me I thought would be the best way to spend New Year's."  Then speaking as if he was talking directly to the promoter, he continued " You booked the flight, but no return flight.  I didn't have a visa.  You didn't send money til after I was supposed to jump on the plane to another country."

That, by the way was the problem.  Nas had the money and was a no-show at the concert.  So, basically the Angola promoters felt played and kidnapped Nas's promoter and his son.  The two were not released until the money, $300,000 was returned.  Crazy right?  Well there's more to the story, press play to get the rest with Tha Wire now.

HERE'S TODAY'S BONUS STORY:

Singer K$sha is basically know for doing weird stuff, but this latest stunt may have taken things to far.  Beleive it or not but, her blood will actually be available in a new record by Flaming Lips!  I kid you not, her actual blood.

Ke$ha recently collaborated with the group on their Record Store Day project, called The Flamin Lips and Heady Fwends.  Ke$ha shows up on a track called "2012", which also features rap legend Biz Markie.  For some reason, that wasn't all she contributed.

She also gave a vial of her blood to Flaming Lips front man Wayne Coyne, who says "What I'm going to try to do- and I'm collecting stuff for it as we speak- is I'm going to tr to make a record that has every person's blood in the record.  I don't have everybody's blood just yet, but I collected quite a few vials of blood and it's actually sitting in my refrigerator as we speak."

Usually when people say they are putting their blood, sweat and tears into something, I don't think they mean that literally.  However, it looks like that's what this man is gonna try and do.
