THE MINI ROUND UP: LIL MAMA’S MOTHER PASSES (CONFIRMED) / JAY-Z’S REP DENIES WEDDING
Friday, December 21, 2007

This week, internet heads have been reporting that Lil Mama lost her Mother over the weekend. Lil Mama’s label, Jive Records, just confirmed these reports are true and that her mother has passed.
No official announcements from her or her representatives have been released, but fans recognized that her Mom, Tyra Kirkland was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2003.
Lil Mama (Niatia Jessica Kirkland) was in Atlanta, GA over the weekend preparing for the next tour date with Chris Brown’s Up Close & Personal Tour when she was told. Condolences to Lil Mama and her family as she struggles through this lost.
JAY-Z IS NOT MARRIED

Jay-Z’s rep is denying rumors of the rapper being married after the net has went crazy with him and Bee this week. Allhiphop reported:
A representative for the rapper scoffed at the rumors and dismissed the continued speculation as untrue.
“They are not married,” a close member of Jay-Z’s inner-circle told AllHipHop.com today (December 20).
The rumor mill was saying that Jay Z and Beyonce wedded in Paris and got tattoos on their ring fingers to show for it, which have been spotted during recent appearances by the two.

My prayers are with Lil Mama and the family. At least she got a chance to see her mother make something of herself. Make her proud!! I can only imagine what that must feels like!
Who cares if B and J are married they are human and in a relationship!!! Leave them alone. Happy Holidays all!!!

My condolences goes out to Lil’ Mama and her family.
It would be a cold day in hell till Jay Z proposes to Beyonce. At least in this point and time they acknowledge that they’re not ready for marriage and the after affects of it.

So sad about Lil Mama! My heart goes out to her! She is too young to loose her mother!
Ofcourse they are going to deny it! Theyve been denying wedding rumors for years! I actually think that they have been married for years!

Oh gosh, what in the world is going on? My heart is hurting for Lil Mama right now. There’s never a good time to lose your mother, but now….right before the Holidays has to be the worse on her.
I hope Kanye reaches out to her.

thats kinda cool, in the husle and bussle of real life we got two of our very own rolw models living a dream. if they married or not, that doing the thing for sure. alota people talk about the message that Jay-z sends in his music, and why he shouldnt be considered a role model….shit but they gave terminator the election in cali….they talk about b’s clothes and the way she dresses, but look at the hilton whores…B’s aint got a sextape on line to date…(if she do i aint saying i wouldnt watch it ya dig?!) i guess bottom line is before the gossip people see the tats and run wit it, its refreshing to see a black couple carry themselves in a classy manner, a young black couple at that. picture them as the new ruby and ossie for our lifetime. we can tell our kids about them when B is doing her legends tour, and when Jay stop doing music (for good this time). i think that post really sparked me black power swagger.
take it easy yall.

I hope Lil Mama will be able to deal with the pain, I know that is the worst pain to deal with.
As far as Jay and Bee are concerned, they need to cut the games. They probably been married for 3 years already for all we know. I’m sick of them, well not sick of them like that. I just need for them to just come out with it. I guess they like playing game with the media, lol.

Lil Mama…..I send my condolences to you and your family and pray that you can cope during this time of loss and especially right near the holidays. Just be thankful that she got to see you become a star although I’m sure you were and always will be a star in her eyes no matter what you chose to do in life. God bless

Maybe its too much financial hassell to get married…Shoot new tax laws..and that is a whole lot of money from both side to figure out and all that…Marriage is a committment before God between two people…not all that church a legalities…the legalities is only for benefits…and thats why people push that I believe…

#29 You don’t have to raise anyone’s child. I would curse you out but for what? It’s the internet and I can say whatever I want. And if you look closely and read the first comment you would see that I was not being disrespectful but since you want to make a big deal about it (mind u no one else complained) I will say this, GO F*CK YOURSELF! IS THAT GROWN ENOUGH FOR YOU! Sorry to anyone else who may have gotten offended by this comment.

My condolences to Lil Mama and her family! I can’t imagine how she feels. Losing a mother is possibly the hardest thing ever. May God be with her during her time of need! God Bless.
As for Jay and B, I don’t think these two will ever marry! They’ll just be living together (i.e. common law marriage). Maybe they should just keep it that way. What is it 5 years. They’ll be just like Carmelo and La La. Good luck for them!

They are married. They orriginally got married in the Bahamas in 2004 the same time Solange got married. They doing the same thing like Janet Jackson did, married for 10years without no one knowing. You all don’t get it twisted they are married.

“They are not married,” a close member of Jay-Z’s inner-circle told AllHipHop.com today (December 20).

RIP Lil Mama’s Mother! My heartfelt condolences! As for those 2 publicity whores (Ms. Knowles and Mr. Z) give it a rest, will you? They won’t go to sleep unless there is an ongoing rumor about them. What is so wrong with being married? It’s high time they grew up and stopped acting their shoe sizes.

It is terrible to lose a Mom so young. Lil Mama seems like a smart young lady..she is only like 17 years old. I was impressed when I read how she came in and took charge in her Vogue magazine photo shoot. All those Fashionistas were in awe of her fashion skills and how she knew exactly what she wanted. As for B & J…they might as well be married..LOL….also the person who wanted to know what the tat means…it FOREVER>>>>Good luck to them.

#12 - What do you mean LIL MOMMA is “too young” to lose her mother? Since when does a persons age play a factor as to when a loved one passes away? People lose their parents as young as 3 & 4 years old, sometimes “babies” lose their parents & never get the chance to know them. It is a very sad & unfortunate situation to lose a loved one especially with the holidays here & all. I lost my twin brother on December 15, 2000. The 8 year anniversary of his death just passed & at times it is still hard to believe he is gone. God will supply her with all the strength she needs to get through her pain. My heart & condolences go out to her & her close friends & family.
As for BEYONCE & JAY Z, I figured they weren’t married anyway. Beyonce waited all these years, & is still waiting, believe me it will be no “secret” when she does jump the broom. Solange is no longer together with her “baby daddy”. I knew that wasn’t going to last either. I say enjoy NOT being Married Jay & Beyonce!! They are probably better off & happier that way.
