Wife TAWANNA Files For DIVORCE From ALLEN IVERSON!!!

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY

Allen Iverson and his wife of 8 and a half years Tawanna. The two have had a volatile relationship for a while now.

On the heels of the 76ers firing Allen after he missed so many games because he wanted to be with their ill 4-year-old daughter, Tawanna filed the papers in the Fulton County Superior Court yesterday. According to the AJC:

In the divorce petition filed on Tuesday, Tawanna Iverson said her 8 ½-year-long marriage to the guard was “irretrievably broken.” In the petition, Tawanna Iverson asked for temporary and permanent custody of their five children as well as child support and alimony.

She did not ask for a specific dollar amount.

The children range in ages from 17 months to 15 years.

The children and their parents have lived in north Atlanta since August, according to the court filing. Before that, the family claimed homes in Rochester, Mich.; Englewood, Colo.; Denver, Colo.; and Villanova, Pa.

ANOTHER POWERFUL Earthquake hits

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY


WOW! IS THE WORLD SOON TO END with all the many predictions over decades..ANOTHER POWERFUL Earthquake hits in less than a week apart. This time it’s a 6.4 in Taiwan..The QUAKE that hit CHILE was so powerful, that it shorten EARTH's daylight by 3 tenths of a sec..>Again WHENEVER THE TIME.R U TRULY READY??






A powerful 6.4-magnitude earthquake rocked southern Taiwan on Thursday, terrifying residents, disrupting communications and triggering at least one large fire. Sixty-four people were injured, the National Fire Agency said.

No tsunami alert was issued. The quake was centered in the same mountainous region of rural Kaohsiung county that endured the brunt of the damage from Typhoon Morakot, a devastating storm that killed about 700 people last August.

Taiwanese actor Chu Chung-heng said he and other passengers were close to panic when the high-speed train on which they were traveling was dislodged from its track by the quake.

"Many people in my car were screaming," he said. "I was so scared that I couldn't make a sound. The train shook very hard, and I thought it was going to overturn."

Young Jeezy Working With BEYONCE & ROCKO New Video:"It's Over"

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY




DUNNO HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS....

This COULD be incredible…….I remember hearing chatter of this last week, but didn’t wanna pull the rabbit out the hat just yet since it wasn’t completely confirmed. However, a source EXTREMELY close to Team Jeezy has confirmed the aforementioned.

Next Monday (maybe even sooner) Young Jeezy will be teaming up with Sasha Fierce (Beyonce) for the lead single from his forthcoming project, Thug Motivation 103. No word on who’s producing the cut (another lil birdie told me Boi-1da) or where Jeezy’s headed creatively.

The track was reportedly suppose to surface last week, but plans fell through obviously. I could sense something was brewing with Jeezy when he debuted the street single from TM103 during the Atlanta stop of the BP3 tour earlier this weekend. And since Hov and Company are playing The Garden (Madison Square Garden) tonight, Jeezy might get some breathing room to share the stage with Beyonce (you know how special Jay’s MSG shows can be.).

So, are you looking forward to a Jeezy/Beyonce collabo? Are you ready for TM103?


>>This will be a summer anthem..
