Scrappy appeared in court yesterday morning (May 22nd) where he responded to allegations that a drug test he took in March positive for weed. The rapper and "Love & Hip Hop" star has admitted that he has an addiction to marijuana. Scrappy's attorney, Mawuli Mel Davis, said that Scrappy is scheduled to enter a rehab facility to address his drug habit.

"After testing positive, Mr. Richardson went and sought clinical help and was diagnosed with marijuana addition and post-traumatic stress disorder," defense attorney Mawuli Mel Davis said.

DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Daniel M. Coursey agreed that some form of monitored treatment was in order.

"He obviously needs some help to get off drugs," Coursey said. "And we can't trust him to do it on his own. I think he's tried to cheat the system." Davis offered to enroll Richardson in the in-patient program and will report his client's progress to the judge by June 12.

Just a day after what would've been the late Notorious B.I.G.'s 41st birthday, his daughter T'yanna Wallace has announced the launch of her own endeavor. The 19-year old is pushing her own fashion line.

Wallace is launching "Notoriouss," a line of shirts and other clothing items.

Some are taking exception with the fact that the Notoriouss line prominently features gun imagery. Biggie, born Christopher Wallace, was famously gunned down in 1997 at the age of 24.

Reps for Notoriouss have yet to address the minor controversy.

Fat Joe pleaded guilty to tax evasion in December, and the hip-hop star was honest about the possible ramifications. In the wake of Lauryn Hill being sentenced to three months for failing to file federal taxes, Joe opened up about his own situation during an appearance on MTV's "RapFix Live."

"I can't really explain that 'cause I got a real court case going on, like facing jail time. But I guess after June 24. Hopefully, it goes well," said Joe. "At the end of the day, I'm paying all the money back that's owed — actually I have and I'ma just go like a man, stand up."

"You gotta understand we hire guys who are supposed to have Harvard degrees to take care of us," he added.

"All the time you see artists, the first thing they did to you when you caught money was introduce you to a bunch of fancy guys with bow ties who are gonna take care of your money and all that and then you always see an artist or a celebrity or somebody like that goin' down for it and these guys never go down for it," he also said.

Roc Nation Sports has added New York Jets quarterback and NFL rookie Geno Smith to its ever-growing roster. XXL reports that Smith has signed a deal with the newly-launched firm, joining New York Yankee Robinson Cano and the WNBA's Skylar Diggins.

“I think it’s just [Jay-Z's] agency,” said Smith. “When you talk about being in New York from a standpoint of what they can do in the city, the connections that they have, I think it’s a good move. My mother and my family is comfortable with it, I’m comfortable with it. I’m just going to move on from there, not let it be a big deal, remain humble and keep focusing on football.”

The former West Virginia University star was drafted by the New York Jets during the second round of this year’s NFL draft.
