Solange Knowles x Yo Gabba Gabba. This probably would have been much bigger news if it was Beyonce appearing on “Yo Gabba Gabba.” But it’s not. It’s Solange performing her new song “Mama Loves You Baby.” Sorry. Still a fun clip though as the kids show continues to book a vast array of urban music stars.

Hmmm so last week Rick Ross tells the world how excited he is that Diddy is his new manager hoping Mr. Combs can help leverage new clothing line and alcohol promotion deals. Now Diddy states in this new video for us not to believe the rumors. We need Mulder and Scully on this…the truth is out there.

Diddy x Sean John x Macy’s. Fans might be claiming Diddy is going off the deep end with his unusual behavior the past couple months but it’s probably because he’s going crazy from counting all the money he has been making lately. His Ciroc deal has been an undisputed success and now he signs a major deal with Macy’s to have the department store as the exclusive distributor of his Sean John clothing line.

“I got my start at Macy’s when I was 16, selling shirts and ties,” Combs told The NY Post in an interview, adding that he had worked at the New Rochelle, NY, store. “To come full circle like this is a dream come true.”

Macy’s CEO Terry Lundgren declined to talk terms of the agreement but you can be sure it’s worth well into a potential eight figure deal as Sean John has grossed over $1 billion in business at Macy’s alone. The Post also reports that there will be exclusive Sean John shops built within key Macy’s locations, including the flagship at Herald Square and that Sean John will have sole discretion over designs, but pricing and deciding which fashions to emphasize each season will be a collaborative effort.

“The Boondocks” is pulling out all the marketing tricks with their recent promotions, viral vids and now even having Uncle Ruckus appear as a guest on Eminem’s Shade 45 radio station. It all seems to be working though as it posted its highest TV ratings ever for this new season. We are looking forward to some more creative executions like this in the near future.
