Hip-Hop Rumors: Young Jeezy Crashes Lambo! Budden To Shady? Obama Lkes ...
I was told that Terrence J and Rocsi of BET's “106 & Park: might be replaced. Now, that's what people are saying, but it might be, because a casting call allegedly went out for the show new talent.

On the Free tip, I heard she is also working with Obama on his campaigning BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE. Just wanted to clear that up! YOUNG JEEZY CRASHES LAMBO Young Jeezy is one of the trap's biggest stars! But, if he doesn't learn to handle that Lambo, he's gonna be trapped behind that wheel! I don't know when this happened, but they are listing Jeezy's white Lamborghini as a fancy car that was demolished.
