why must he always wear a grey sweatshirt?? ughh lol)

Senseless violence made NYPD shut down Drake's FREE concert, Tuesday night, on the South Street Seaport in NYC!

Over 10,000 people showed up, which caused a lot of drama, prompting police to pull the plug on the show before the rap phenom ever had a chance to grab a mic.

The raucous crowd massed on the Seaport's cobble-stoned streets spun out of control as opening act Ninjasonik performed.

"Everybody was pushing up, trying to get to the front,"

said Tamika Johnson, 31, of East New York, Brooklyn.

Johnson and her 6-year-old daughter were among thousands who turned out for the free show, part of a publicity blitz marking the release of the up-and-coming Canadian rapper's debut album, "Thank Me Later."

"People in the front started leaving because they were getting crushed,"

Johnson said.

"Then they started throwing bottles from the balconies."

Fights broke out as rowdies tossed flower pots from the upper floors of the Seaport down onto the crowd on the street,

said Jasmine Arroyo, 23, of Brooklyn. You can actually see the flower pots on the balconies they are referring to in the above photo.

Arroyo said the scene turned into "a madhouse" as people on the street began firing plastic bottles and "any object they could find" at the flower-pot-hurlers.

"A lot of people were drunk and falling down ... fistfights within the crowds,"

she said.

"There were people jumping onto token booths and hopping over fences."

The smiley-faced Drake was anything but after his gig was canceled, telling the Daily News the NYPD put the kibosh on the festivities due to "overcrowding."

"I am humbled by the crowd that showed up in support of my performance,"

he said through his spokeswoman.

"Unfortunately, the show was canceled by the NYPD due to overcrowding, leaving me without the chance to give my fans a real show."

He also took it to Twitter:


Police officials said they received a flurry of 911 calls, but they would not immediately confirm Drake's claim that cops cleared the stage and sent thousands of fans packing.

"The crowd wasn't going anywhere,"

Johnson said.

"If he would have came out, that would have calmed everything down."

Johnson said her daughter was devastated she didn't get to seeDrizzy star perform.

"She started crying because he didn't come out,"

Johnson said.

"She got dried up tears on her face."

Earlier that day, more than 500 crazed Drake fans lined up to meet the Lil' Wayne protégé at his album release inside the Best Buy store at Union Square.


The ladies love Drake!

Jay-Z Pulls Out Of Queens Casino Project!

So remember not too long ago I told you that Jay-Z was in a secret alliance with the Governer of NYC? Well this seemed to be a complete nightmare for Jay-Z as he PULLED OUT of the whole project!

Jay -Z has had a minor share in a company called AEG (Aqueduct Entertainment Group) that won a contract to open up New York's aqueduct to gambling with video lottery terminals. The contract is extremely lucrative, but has been marred by what appeared to be an unethical business advantage during the bidding process. Now, as the company faces more scrutiny over financials by the state government, the New York Observer is reporting that Jay-Z has pulled out altogether.

All investors had to submit comprehensive financials to the state that account for personal finances of both investor and spouses, which according to my sources, Jay-Z was not trying to give up. We know how he likes to keep his personal life super private. That would have meant that Jay would have to provide a detailed rundown of both his and Beyonce's monetary situation. Guess he just wasn't feeling it.

"Aqueduct Entertainment Group is continuing to move forward to complete the MOU, so that we can pay the state $300 million by March 31st and break ground on this vital job-creating project as soon as possible,"

said Jeffrey Levine, founder of AEG.

"All applications have been submitted to Lottery in full compliance with the State's instructions."
