Juelz And Camron Gotta Work Things Out
Rumors have been swirling around the past few months about rifts between the core Dipset members, but nothing has officially been said.
After calling in to the popular beef hotspot, Hot 97, Juelz finally spilled the beans on why both his sophomore album and his collabo effort with Lil Wayne haven't seen the light of day yet.
"Me and Cam gotta work some things out, bottom line," Santana explained to host Angie Martinez.
"I came in the game when I was young right, so it's no reason for me - to have accomplished and did as much as I did - to be getting treated the same way as I was treated when I just came in."

J Holiday Arrested For Drug Possession
The rising star was pulled over in Salisbury, Md. while driving home from a performance "at a high rate of speed" along with another vehicle, Sgt. Frank Russo said.
According to local Maryland TV station WMDT, Russo spotted marijuana on the singer's shirt and smelled marijuana smoke, which led to Holiday's arrest.
A small amount of the drug turned up from Holiday's center console after a search.
Holiday (real name Nahum Grymes) faces drug possession charges along with the other occupant in his car, George Jackson.
The driver of the other car, Rolland Wesley, faces traffic-related charges, but is clear on the drug posession rap.

Turk Withdraws Guilt Plea
Turk (real name Tab Virgil) is currently serving a 10-year sentence (reduced from 12) for allegedly shooting SWAT team member, Deputy Chris Harris, four times during a raid in Memphis, Tenn. on Jan. 26, 2004.
The rapper had originally entered an Alford plea, also known as a best-interest plea, which allows a defendant to dispute some of the allegations but has the same legal effect as a guilty plea. Turk entered this plea presumably to accept an agreed-upon sentence and avoid a longer sentence if convicted at trial.
The original charges of first-degree murder would have brought a sentence of up to 25 years in prison.
Local Memphis news outlet, The Commerical Appeal, obtained a statement from appellate Judge J.C. Mclin, saying the rapper was allowed to withdraw his plea because it was "not knowingly, voluntarily, and understandingly entered, and that the pleas were entered through a misunderstanding as to their effects."
