Producer Polow Da Don, the man responsible for invading the nation’s radios with In This Club by Usher and Young Jeezy, was the victim of an attempted robbery inside of his Atlanta recording studio Monday night (March 10th). According to various sources, a group of unknown masked gunmen entered the studio late Monday night and robbed those present of their money and jewelry. Here’s what Polow had to say … word for word:

“They thought they came to rob me, but I have heart and I have God shawty,” Polow Da Don said in a statement released Tuesday. “These crack head ass niggas I guess called themselves robbing me, but we robbed them…I wasn’t scared I was mad. I was likes “these dumb ass weak ass niggas.

“You gone have to shoot me because until then, I dont believe you. I am a man…and nine times out of ten a nigga calling himself a ‘robba‘, a ‘thug’ or a ‘gangsta’ is a cover up for being too weak (weather it be physically, spiritually or mentally) to be a man. It’s hard to learn how to be a man…luckily my teacher stuck with me….thanks Dad, I love you! Kids…do you know where your father is right now?”

POLOW DA DON TAKES THE BLAME FOR RECENT MATERIAL LEAKED FROM USHER’S FORTHCOMING ALBUM » “It’s no secret,” the ‘Hotlanta’ producer told MTV, “I’m the culprit.” ‘Don admits to virtually leaking Usher’s new material from his forthcoming-comeback album saying, “I told [Usher], when I saw him, that I had to put my relationship [with Usher] on the line.” The reasoning behind the recent leakage was becos how virtually successful Usher’s ‘Yeah!’ was when leaked by affiliated producer Lil’ Jon back in 2003. ‘Don said that Usher wasn’t upset at all about the leaking of his material, and to be honest, in my opinion, I thought that was a smart move on both parties part. It wasn’t like ‘Don leaked the whole album, just a song, to see if it would be taken positively, or negatively, with Usher’s fans. Most producers traditionally leak artist’s material, maybe … a week or two, before it’s original release date. I think that’s absolutely genius and I applaud ‘Don for his honesty; he always was one of my favorite producers, he keeps it real!

JOJO AT WORK ON THIRD ALBUM TBR THIS FALL! » Teen-superstar JoJo will be releasing her third studio album this fall according to a recent MySpace blog she wrote to her fans. She writes that she is currently in the process of finishing up her forthcoming album and that she will be releasing a new single before it’s release date this year. No other information has been given about the project but there are rumors that this album will be released via Universal Motown instead of Blackground. I, for one, am excited about this news. I have loved JoJo from the very beginning and really enjoyed her last album The High Road (Blackground / Universal).

Above Beyonce, Jay-Z, and Kanye West can be seen laughing it up at Wednesday night’s Seattle SuperSonics vs. New Jersey Nets basketball game in New Jersey. What the hell was so funny?
