Fredo Santana fights Migos
Fredo Santana went at Migos on Twitter following a scuffle involving the trio and GBE member Capo last night in Chicago.
Migos and Chief Keef have had their differences in the past, but while it seemed like things had calmed down between the two camps, the beef was reignited following an alleged altercation last night in Chicago. An Instagram video posted by Migos member Offset shows the aftermath of what appears to have ben a scuffle between the trio's crew and GBE member Capo.
This was later confirmed by some back and forth between Capo and Migos on Twitter, at which point GBE rapper and cousin of Chief Keef, Fredo Santana became involved, threatening the lives of Migos. Following Fredo's comments the official Migos account posted one subtweet, simply saying "N***as hard on the web #peterparker". Fredo and Capo continued their attempts to provoke a response from the group to no avail.

Tyga Takes Major Shots at Drake: "He's Just Fake to Me"
In the midst of the recent turbulence between Tyga and YMCMB, he actually went on record airing out Drake in a recent interview with VIBE. Tyga was featured on the new digital cover, flexing to the max with his "brolic" gold chains, and didn't turn down at all for the interview.
Instead of keep his personal feelings for the Canadian rapper private, Tyga said exactly how he feels about Drake as a person, and even threw Nicki Minaj into the mix as well. When asked if YMCMB was heavily influencing this album, Tyga denied, and stated that he's been distancing himself from them entirely. He went even further to tell VIBE that he is trying to go independent and that he doesn't get along with Drake, nor Nicki. When asked why, Tyga kept it real and explained that he thinks Drake is fake, and that YMCMB was a group of individuals that were put together and forced to get along even though their personalities don't really mesh well. Tyga stated:
"I don't like Drake as a person. He's just fake to me. I like his music; you know what I'm saying? I think his music is good, but we're all different people. We were forced together and it was kinda' like we were forcing relationships together. It is what it is.
"But I been friends with Chris [Brown] for like six years. That's my real genuine friend. We hang out all the time. He lives up the street from me, so we don't just do music we hang. I think being signed to Young Money, everybody felt like they had to force a relationship 'cause Wayne put us together. At the end of the day the reason why I signed to Young Money is because of Wayne. Not because of Drake, not because of Nicki. It was because of Wayne and my relationship with him."
"I try to be cool with everybody, but sometimes, everybody just has different personalities, motives, and different characters. When you realize that, you realize that's not a place where you want to continue to grow."
Since the issue was published online, fans have been actively responding to Tyga's views on Drake being fake.
Nicki Minaj and Boy Friend Call It Quits
Nicki Minaj has a message for her ex ... if you didn't wanna be a superstar so damn bad, you'd still be sleeping in my bed.
Nicki cut the relationship off -- after 14 years -- because he became uncontrollably jealous of her success ... success he wanted for himself.
We're told Nicki and Safaree had an arrangement -- she's the breadwinner and he's the backup singer/hype man/personal assistant. But we're told Safaree was getting sick of being in the background and had become increasingly hostile ... an emotion she reciprocated.
We hear the final straw was when Safaree didn't show up recently to one of Nicki's shows, leaving her scrambling for a hype man. She confronted him and he went crazy.
Breakup rumors spread this week when Safaree showed up in public with several of his Nicki tats covered up.

Ebola sparks fear in Ohio, Texas; nurse to be transferred; health officials grilled
(CNN) -- An Ebola-stricken Texas nurse will fly to a Maryland hospital that specializes in the deadly virus, and several Ohioans have isolated themselves out of fear they were exposed to another Texas nurse with Ebola, officials said Thursday.
Federal health officials are facing Congress over how the U.S. has handled the crisis, and another person in Connecticut is exhibiting symptoms of the virus and has received an Ebola test.
Thursday developments include:
• A top health official in Texas apologized for what he called mistakes in how Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas handled its first Ebola patient -- a Liberian national who was initially told to go home after he came in complaining of a fever and saying he'd recently been in West Africa.
• Federal officials are considering barring 76 hospital workers who treated an Ebola patient from boarding airplanes.
• Texas nurse Nina Pham is being sent to a National Institutes of Health hospital in Maryland for specialized Ebola treatment.
• In northeast Ohio, one person has been quarantined, and six others have quarantined and are monitoring themselves for Ebola, after coming into contact or being in the vicinity of Ebola-stricken Texas nurse Amber Vinson, Ohio Department of Health spokesman Jay Carey said. Several Texas and Ohio schools are closed as a precaution against exposing faculty and students.
• There is concern, too, at Yale University, where a doctoral student who recently returned to Connecticut from Liberia has a fever and is in isolation at Yale-New Haven Hospital, hospital officials told reporters Thursday. The student is being tested for Ebola, they said, and results should be available within 24 hours.
The congressional hot seat and an apology
Texas Health Presbyterian nurses Vinson and Pham treated Thomas Eric Duncan when he was hospitalized for Ebola in late September. He died at the hospital on October 8.
In testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Dr. Daniel Varga, the chief clinical officer for Texas Health Services, blasted the hospital for sending Duncan home even though he displayed Ebola symptoms and spoke about his recent travel in West Africa.
"Unfortunately, in our initial treatment of Mr. Duncan, despite our best intentions and a highly skilled medical team, we made mistakes," Varga said in written testimony to lawmakers.
"We did not correctly diagnose his symptoms as those of Ebola. We are deeply sorry."
Varga said hospital staffers were given guidance on Ebola symptoms several times over the summer.
He said the hospital has made several policy changes regarding the virus, such as updating the emergency department screening process to require asking a patient for his or her travel history and increasing training for staffers.
Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also criticized how Vinson's case was handled. She had a fever and said called the CDC to ask if she could board a flight, disclosing that she'd had contact with someone with Ebola. She said that she was told she was cleared to fly and did.
It's not clear who she spoke with at the CDC or what exactly she was told. Regardless, 132 passengers on her flight are wondering if they were exposed.
Frieden said she never should have been allowed to get on a commercial fight.
He said there's an "extremely low" risk to anyone else on that plane, but the CDC is reaching out to all passengers as part of "extra margins of safety."
Vinson, 29, is now being treated at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, which has successfully treated two other Ebola patients and has not had any employees infected.
On Thursday Frieden testified that in order to guard the U.S. from Ebola, the virus needs to be stopped at the source in West Africa. If Ebola spreads more widely in Africa, it could threaten the American health care system "for a long time to come," he said.
Banning travel from Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, where Ebola has struck the hardest, is not the solution, Frieden stressed. If that happened, it might prompt people to enter the U.S. in ways that make it more difficult to track them, he said.
Nurse: 'We never talked about Ebola'
Another Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital nurse is speaking out, telling NBC's "Today" show Thursday that nurses did not have mandatory Ebola training, except for an optional seminar that didn't allow them any hands-on practice.
"We never talked about Ebola. We never had a discussion," Briana Aguirre said.
She said she was not involved in treating Duncan, who received care at the hospital in late September and died there on October 8.
Training for Texas Health Presbyterian's nursing staff amounted to "just information," she said. "We were never told what to look for."
"All I know for sure is that he (Duncan) was put into an area where there are around seven other patients," she said. "We took around three hours to make first contact with CDC to let them know what we had of our suspicion. There were no special precautions other than basic contact precautions. No special gear."
She said the hospital did not know what to do with one of his lab specimens.
A lab technician told Aguirre the specimen was "mishandled," she said. "It was a chaotic scene."
She said there was an effort to contact the hospital's infectious disease expert to determine the correct Ebola treatment protocol.
"Their answer was, 'We don't know. We will have to call you back,' " she said.
Hospital fires back after claims
After scathing allegations by a nurses' union, a Texas Health Presbyterian spokeswoman said some of the care givers' claims are not true.
Citing interviews with nurses at the hospital, the union National Nurses United have said Duncan was "left for several hours, not in isolation, in an area where other patients were present" during his second visit to the hospital.
But hospital spokeswoman Candace White said Duncan "was moved directly to a private room and placed in isolation" during his second visit.
And after the union claimed "there was no one to pick up hazardous waste as it piled to the ceiling," White said the waste was "well-contained in accordance with standards, and it was located in safe and containable locations."
