He liked it, so they made him put a ring on it

Reggie Bush Engaged To Marry Preganant Girlfriend Lilit Avagyan

A Bossip tipster has been sending us info over the past week that Reggie Bush was allegedly being coerced into buying his pregnant girlfriend Lilit an engagement ring by her family. Welp, it looks like it’s not a rumor and we have pics of the ring!

According to celeb jeweler Ben Baller:

My boy Bush is a dear friend of mine, so when he hit me up about proposing to his girl of over 10 years, I said, don’t worry about the price, let’s just get it the f**k in!!!

BUSH-VS1-400x267

We used a beautiful VS G color triple Ex cushion cut 2 carat diamond…we created our own setting

Now the pics might suck because it’s hard to get a proper macros close up shot with my iphone, but I made the best that I could… but the ring does NOT suck. it’s so nice, it sparkles and what’s crazy is that I’ve made over 5 engagement rings in the past month!

Damn Reg, only a lil a$$ 2 carats huh?! We know damn well Kimmy Cakes wouldn’t have gone for that isht! But we guess beggars with a gut full of Bush can’t be choosers…

Mo Money Mo Problems: Broke Azz Struggle-Baller Allen Iverson Blows Through $350K A Month Into Bankruptcy

Shoulda never gave you ninjas money…

Allen Iverson Is Broke

Former NBA star Allen Iverson is digging himself into a giant financial hole, with monthly bills that largely outweigh his monthly income but the good news is he’s still got his Maybach. Ballin!

Via TMZ reports:

Allen recently filed docs in GA court as part of his nasty divorce battle with his ex Tawanna Iverson which outline his dire financial situation.

According to docs, Allen brings in $62,500 in monthly income, but his expenses are FAR, FAR, greater … costing him a cool $358,376.66 PER MONTH!!!!

So where does all his money go?

A large chunk — $125,749.33 to be exact — is spent paying off various creditors (like his jeweler) … and some goes to his mortgages (but not for long, since his ATL crib is about to be auctioned off).

But Allen says he blows a lot on OTHER expenses too … like $10,000/month on clothes, $10,000/month on grocery/house items, $1,000/month on dry cleaning, $5,000/month on entertainment, $5,000/month on restaurants … and so on.

All in all, Iverson — who reportedly made over $150 MILLION during his NBA career — says he ends up in the hole each month to tune of $295,876.66. Ouch.

Despite the mounting debt though, he’s still got his Maybach (which is fully paid off) … and reportedly worth between $340k – $400k.

How does one spend $1,000 monthly in groceries but also reportedly spends $5,000 a month eating outside in restaurants???? WTF?

How does he manage to come up with 10K a month to buy clothes? What happens to last month’s clothes? And with double his income just in essentials, why is he spending thousands on entertainment? How many times can you watch Madea’s Witness Protection in a month, really?

Peep AI‘s mansion before it hits the auction block…

Allen Iverson’s Foreclosed Atlanta Mansion

Via TMZ:

Former NBA star Allen Iverson’s about to lose his massive Atlanta mansion — because the bank is gearing up to sell the house at auction next week, TMZ has learned.

Iverson purchased the home back in 2010 for $4.5 million — but according to official records, he defaulted on his mortgage and the bank foreclosed. Now, the home is set to be sold at auction on December 4th … along with all the crap inside.

Iverson’s currently going through a nasty divorce with his estranged wife, and he’s famously been dealing with money problems … including a nearly-million-dollar debt to a Georgia jeweler.

A.I. still has a chance to save it if he comes up with the cash before auction time … but the clock’s ticking … fast.

Check out more photos of the foreclosed mansion next…

When Even Jesus Can’t Make The Checks Come In Like They Used To: Ma$e Has Been Ducking The Same Bill For Almost 7 Years

Rapper Mase Embroiled In Legal Battle Over Five-Figure Jewelry Bill

Apparently, Ma$e has been ducking a five-figure jewelry bill since 2005. And TMZ reports, now he’s using all type of sneaky tactics instead of just sacrificing some of his current perks and paying for that comeback that never happened.

Mase has been fighting an ongoing legal battle with Aydin and Company, a jeweler in Atlanta, since the summer. According to legal docs filed in Georgia, they claim Mase owes them $35,000 dating alllllll the way back to 2005.

According to court filings, the jewelers haven’t been able to serve Mase with legal papers after trying multiple times at his Georgia home — each time being turned away by staff who say he isn’t there. They claim he’s been ducking them for months and they had a process server file an affidavit in the case … stating Mase is “evading service.”

For his part, Mase filed papers asking for the suit to be dismissed … claiming improper service and the fact that he never signed the “alleged contract at issue in case.”

The jewelers want their money, attorneys fees and 1.5% interest per month on the money he owes.

You notice he’s not saying he didn’t use the jewels, right? That doesn’t seem like the minister-ly thing to do.



#MaddenBattle Championship: Coming Soon

It’s about to go down like Kat Stacks at a baller convention. Unless you live under a rock (or don’t play video games), then you’ve probably heard that EA dropped Madden NFL 12 earlier this week and early reports indicate that it may be one of the best editions from the franchise yet. As you can imagine, Madden enthusiasts all over the world will be scrapping it out for bragging rights over the next few weeks and well, in the spirit of friendly competition, we want us a piece of that action too dammit! So on September 12th at Complex headquarters, myself, Hof from OnSMASH, Jake Paine from HipHopDX and Complex’s Justin Monroe will each captain a 4 man team comprised of some of your favorite MC’s in a Madden 12 Championship Battle for the ages. The last gamer standing will take home a custom “Superbowl” style ring by jeweler Gabe Urist and of course the title of Madden 12 Champion. So stay tuned for the team announcements, which will be coming soon, and monitor the trash talk on Twitter by searching the #MaddenBattle hash tag. It should be a good time, although Gabe might as well start engraving my name on that ring right now to save himself the trouble later.
