Rapper Soulja Boy got into hot water during a recent flight. He was asked to be seated as the plane readied for take off. When he refused, he was escorted off. He has since apologized for the incident. R&B star Usher's son has been released from the hospital after getting his hand caught in a pool drain. The 5-year-old has been seen wearing a bandage and is doing well otherwise. Rapper Juicy J tweeted that he'll produce a new album by rapper Pimp C. The album will contain previously unreleased material. Three Six Mafia's ties to UGK predate his untimely death. The two rap crews collaborated on more than one occasion. Once Three Six Mafia's 2000 single "Sippin On Some Syrup" and on UGK's single "Int'l Players Anthem". Pimp C died in 2007 of respiratory failure thought to be brought on by codeine addiction. The tragic incident brought to light the rap world's addiction to cough syrup, commonly called "sizzurp". In the years since, three Pimp C albums have been released, including 2010's "The Naked Soul Of Sweet Jones". Meanwhile, Juicy J is set to release his debut album "Stay Trippy" on August 27. G.O.O.D.
