Royce Da 5'9 Clears Up Slaughterhouse/ Eminem Deal Rumors!

Slaughterhouse's Royce Da 5'9 has cleared up rumors of his rap group joining forces with Eminem's Shady Records imprint and explained their appearance alongside Slim Shady in the "Forever" music video.

According to Royce, the appearance was a result of Em's manager Paul Rosenberg requesting him to show up for the video shoot.

"There's gonna be rumors when somebody see something like that but it just is what it is," he explained. "We just all family. As everybody knows, Em is a good friend of mine. We've been good friends for years. I just had my Slaugterhouse brothers in town and Paul asked me to come down and be in the video and they just happened to be in town with me so I just brought 'em with me."

Radio personality Miss Info recently said there were talks of Slaughterhouse becoming an official Shady Records group.

So here are the 'rumors' that I'm hearing...That Slaughterhouse appearance in "Forever," was indeed a non-verbal announcement of the contract negotiations going on behind the scenes. For the past month, both sides have been working towards bringing the group to the Shady label. And that the gathering of Em and the guys at the shoot, is the first of more collaborations to come.

Em has close ties with fellow Detroit, Michigan-based emcee, Royce Da 5'9.

Royce is also known as the rapper who got a major boost from legendary producer DJ Premier, who produced his 2000 hit "Boom." Mostly, though, people associate him with Eminem. The pair have rolled together since their early days in Detroit and have worked together on several occasions.

Tila Tequila's Rep Fires Back! "No one is above the law...she will have her day in court!"

Tila Tequila is lashing out at the San Diego D.A.'s office for their decision to not file criminal charges against her ex-boyfriend Shawne Merriman.

TMZ obtained the following statement from Tila's rep:

"Tila Tequila is the victim of a violent crime. The San Diego District attorney's decision not to press charges against Shawne Merriman for the battering of Tila Tequila demonstrates an unconscionable negligence in the discharging of their public duties. We strongly feel that justice has not been served in this matter. Obviously, The San Diego Charger's NFL franchise brings millions of dollars in revenue to the city of San Diego, and it seems clear that other interests are being served by the DA's office than the upholding of the law. A young woman was violently beaten and choked, and the physical evidence is both overwhelming and disturbing. Tila's account of the events has remained consistent from the beginning, while Merriman's story has changed repeatedly. Just because the DA has made this reckless decision doesn't mean that justice will not be served in this case. No one is above the law. Tila Tequila will immediately begin pursuing civil charges against Mr. Merriman and she will have her day in court."
