(AllHipHop News) Another day, another artist is ordered to cough up cash for their offspring. However, this time the artist in question wanted it. Singer/producer/writer Akon filed a paternity test against one of his many baby mamas asking the court to establish custody, child support and legally recognize him as the two boys biological father. After the tests proved that Akon was the father, he had to submit docs proving his monthly income — a whooping $40,000. Based off of that the judge ordered him to pay $5,000/month for the two boys. That may not seem like much but considering that Mr. “Locked Up” has six other children the system didn’t want him going broke. Filed under: MOBILE, News, Slider Tagged: Akon, Child support

Drake was recently spotted in New York City on the set of the upcoming sequel to Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. With this shot, as well as Kanye West also making an appearance in this film, this is going to be classic. Expect Anchorman: The Legend Continues to release on December 20th. Drizzy’s album Nothing Was The Same coming soon.

Earlier this month, Kanye West raised much speculation that his upcoming, still untitled album would be released in June when he tweeted the cryptic message “June Eighteen.” The tweet from Ye came just days after it was revealed that his new album was complete. Following the tweet of the cryptic message, we got even more reason to believe that Ye’s new album would be released on June 18th as Japanese retailer HMV posted the release date on their site, earlier this week. Now, following the debut of the video for the song “New Slaves” on building fronts across the world, we get confirmation of the album title and release date. According to Rap-Up, who received confirmation, Kanye West’s sixth studio album will be titled Yeezus, and it will indeed be released on June 18th. Kanye West will return to Saturday Night Live tonight as the musical guest for SNL‘s season finale. Maybe we’ll get verbal confirmation of the title and release date from Ye tonight as well.

Video: Tez McClain - "Change" Ft. Erk Tha Jerk Courtesy Audible Treats. This ni**a I was cool with/ Put him on some things/ But he started acting strange when he got a piece of change," raps Tez, using the song to examine the old adage of how money can change a person. While the song is stern and serious, the video, shot on Hollywood Boulevard, was more spur-of-the-moment, shot when Tez was in Los Angeles working on the video for his recent 106th & Park-debuted "Flick'n" video.
