Trina’s publicist called out MediaTakeOut.com for insinuating that Trina was involved with Kobe Bryant. The website reported that an alleged fight broke out between Trina and Vanessa Bryant at the Lakers vs. Nuggets game. They alledged that while there was no physical altercation, the two women engaged in a heated war of words. The site alledged that lyrics from one of Trina’s songs as the cause of the confrontation, “Heated,” released in 2004, Trina rapped “I was the first bitch Kobe cheated on his wife with.” Her publicist responded with ”Trina does not know NBA player Kobe Bryant in neither a personal or business manner…she is a creative artist and has always used the names of high profile celebs in her songs such as Shaq, D Wade, as well as Kobe - it’s entertainment and music, not personal.” – Words and Story by Allhiphop.Com

Having just started NiceKicks in 2006, its incredible to see the way it skyrocketted into being one of the top blogs on our side of the world. I was put on to NiceKicks a couple years back by Safe of Mi Gente Clothing and since then I’ve been hooked. Some of my photographs have appeared on the site from time to time as well. I personally check the site daily and repost some of their news here on The305.Com, including the most recent Khaled/Rick Ross/Kanye photos from the “Go Hard” video shoot.

Well, Format Magazine caught up with Matt Halfhill and got into the ins and outs of running NiceKicks, its highest day of traffic and how and why he started it. Click Here to read the full interview.
