Wyclef To Get Hip Hop Steroids Scandal Story Dismissed

Posted Fri Jan 18 1:00am PST by Billy Johnson, Jr. in Hip-Hop Media Training

After years of being out of shape, Timbaland gets a trainer, buffs up like 50 Cent and finally builds up the confidence to take his shirt off in one of his videos.

It's too bad that New York's Albany Times Union newspaper ruined Timbaland's set up days earlier when it reported that the superstar producer, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Tyler Perry and Wyclef were among celebrities allegedly using steroids.

Fortunately for Timbaland, the report has a major loophole named Wyclef.

Wyclef don't take this the wrong way. I love the Fugees, your Destiny's Child "No, No, No" remix, The Carnival and both of your new songs with T.I. But I think you would agree that you are not quite as physically fit as Fiddy, Mary and Timbo.

When I heard about the scandal I felt bad.

When I heard Fiddy's name I thought: "Man, Fat Joe has accused 50 of taking steroids. Was he right?"

When I heard Mary's name I sighed: "Dang. I just interviewed her in New York last month and she said her new slim look was a result of drinking lots of water and working out like a maniac. She didn't say anything about steroids?"

When I heard Tim's name I got nervous: "Really. Is that how he turned that keg of a stomach into a six pack?"

But when I heard Wyclef's name, I felt relieved.

I knew that this investigation had to be a hoax.

Though Wyclef has always freely taken off his shirts in music videos and live performances, I haven't noticed any endorsement deals with Bally Total Fitness and Vitamin Water.

There's no way he taking steroids.

And if so, Dr. Gary Brandwein must have prescribed him a placebo.

Please, let's give Timbaland his moment to shine.

growing up i was always accused of possibly taking steroids. it was offensive then and still is offensive now. it's all in the genes that i have great muscle development. it's just unfortunate that all these professional athletes did not have enough sense or morals or ethics to refuse performance enhancing drugs. it makes the rest of us athletes look bad. i'm EXTREMELY disappointed and hope that what was done in the dark comes to light with all of the athletes who have been accused

Who care if they used steroids? They are not hurting anyone or try to get a gold medal so let them be. Steroids doesn't kill millions like cigarettes do every year but they are still legal so give us a break.......

8. MARCUS M -
Are there not any more important issues to report about? Does anyone else who reads this really care? Even if they are, it's their bodies, not mine, so it's something that they have to live with!

Wow, HUGE shock 50 and other artists are using steroids. /sarcasm

Yes it's wrong, but they already rap about smoking pot and doing other illegal drugs, and if nobody cares about that then why should this make a difference?

11. Yahoo! Music User -
why does anyone care if an artist uses steroids? it's not like they affect his art.

12. Yahoo! Music User -
It's pretty obvious that half-dollar is on the juice.

13. pimpymcgibbins -
Who really cares?

So they look buff- big deal.

Those guys definitely don't fit the steroid profile. They don't have that 'look.'

I think that's taking Battle of the Bands waaaay too far!

16. Brian W -
Actually us white honkies don't have to do a thing to destroy black people. Black people are doing that to other black people all by themselves

17. wadalomda63 -

18. Natedawg from the burg -
ok lets get this straight.,.. what is the problem if they in fact are using steroids? I mean even if it is illegal, is it more illegal then marijuna or any other drug that all the preformers use?

19. Doug Skywalker -
Why is it we never hear about white people taking steroids? There is no way in the world Black people are the only ones taking them! Share the blame equally. Dig into some white people, then come out with your story!
