RAPPER JACKI-O REVEALS WHY SHE SCREWED A D-LIST RECORD EXEC FOR '10 STACKS.'

“Everybody that signed [to Poe Boy] had gotten their advance money, but when it came time for me to get my advance, I had to f*ck for my advance. It was ten stacks and I had to f*ck for it. So naturally it wasn’t something that I’m proud of doing. And I don’t advise any female to get into no business – be it music or whatever – and get exploited like that. [E Class] told me I had to have sex with him to get the ten stacks. That’s how me and him got into a relationship. But that was a situation I had to face, and I made the wrong turn. But I’m from the hood and if somebody offers you ten thousand dollars at one time to get out of the hood, and lets you go for your dream of doing music, you’re gonna run to that.”

--Miami rapper Jacki openly admitting and confirming rumors to Hip Hop Weekly about f-ing E-Class, a d-list record executive to secure a record deal with independent record label Poe Boy Records. Mmm-mmm-mmm. Ol girl did all that screwing and still couldn't score a Top 100 'hit' with her one and only semi-popular single Nookie; and if you didn't tune in to BET's now defunct after-hours video music show, Uncut, chances are you have absolutely no idea of what I'm talking about. And I'm willing to bet that those '10 stacks' (in advance money...advance money that has to be paid back) went straight into her local tattooer's needle. So in the end, she really ain't got shit to show (besides her fifteen minutes of fame for allegedly kicking Foxy Brown's ass at a Miami studio a couple of years ago) for shamelessly flopping her ass onto the infamous casting couch.

Girl, bye.

USHER'S WIFE, TAMEKA OPENS UP ABOUT THEIR HYPER-ACTIVE BABY, USHER AS A DAD, HAVING MORE KIDS, USHER'S REMAINING HANDFUL OF FEMALE FANS.

Usher's wife, Tameka Foster, attended Holly Robinson and her husband Rodney Peete 10th Annual DesignCure Benefit for the HollyRod Foundation fundraising party in Malibu, California this past weekend (see above picture). While there, Foster, who the media hasn't heard from or seen since Usher's flop of an album was released last May, was cornered by HipHopHollywood.com who asked her about her hubby and son's Essence magazine pictorial, Usher's relationship with their son Usher V (a.k.a. Cinco) as well as the fun and cute things he (Cinco, not Usher!) does at home. Although he's only seven months old, he's more energetic, hyper, and let Tameka tell it, and advanced as a toddler going through their terrible twos!

TAMEKA ON CINCO: "He's like hyper baby. He's crawling. He crawls really fast already. He stands up, and he's walking around the table. It's amazing to watch him. I've never seen a baby crawl so fast! I call him Dash, like on the Incredibles (2004 Pixar movie). We're just scared because the baby knows how to get off the bed already, so our bed is like a gigantic crib because we have rails. It's hilarious! Can you imagine a king-size crib? He holds his bottle with one hand. He's only seven and a half months. He's just really advanced. He's an advanced baby, honestly. I'm not saying that because he's mind, but he really is. Motherhood is wonderful. Every day is a new challenge with him."

TAMEKA ON USHER AS A DAD: "He's a very good dad. He's a great dad. He's very attentive. He sings to him. He talks to him. He's a great father. [Cinco] looks just like his dad. I know."

TAMEKA ON USHER & CINCO'S ESSENCE MAGAZINE PHOTOSPREAD: "Babies change so much, so it probably not a big deal to see him at one month or two months, but then, you know, people can be cruel and it's so many, like, different opinions and stuff so we kind of wanted to just cherish the moment of him just being a baby for while and Essence has been very good to us, so we thought that would be a good first-look for him.

And even though Usher and Tameka, who quietly married last August, have their hands full with baby Usher, they're looking forward to expanding their brood. "I'd love to have more. We just gotta make the time," she admitted. She isn't the only one who'd like to make time for her husband. Usher says his wife far from feeling envious of his legions of female fans and she has adjusted to the fact that since they tied the knot, her husband now has maybe just a small handful of pressed female admirers vying for his attention. He explains, "Tameka doesn't mind when the fans throw their underwear at me. Being a sex symbol pays the bills. And she knows that."

Boy, you better stop playing!
