When one thinks of pop star scandals involving drugs, one doesn’t usually first think of the “performance enhancing” variety, but at least three musicians have now been “named in connection with an Albany-based steroid investigation.” So who’s ditching their Hip-Hop Abs workout videos to join the sports world’s finest anabolic abusers?
The Times Union of Albany cited unnamed sources in a Sunday report that R&B music star Mary J. Blige, rap musicians 50 Cent, Timbaland and Wyclef Jean, and award-winning author and producer Tyler Perry may have received or used performance enhancing drugs.
Albany District Attorney P. David Soares launched a Albany-based investigation into steroid trafficking last year. Law enforcement officials have said evidence does not indicate that the celebrities broke the law. Officials are focusing on the doctors, pharmacists and clinics that provide the drugs.
50 Cent is understandable. (How often do you think he looked at the cover of The Massacre and wished he really had those inflatable pecs? Gangstas can have body image issues, too.) Even Wyclef we can maybe see. (Why should Lauryn have all the post-Fugees drug fun?) But Mary J? We know she kinda, uh, puts her all into her performances, but not like this! Thankfully all three have a chance to reform their quick-fix workout ways without the threat of a jail stint, as they are not part of the Albany D.A.’s “ongoing criminal probe” into Signature, an infamous Orlando-based online pharamcy handing out illegal ‘roid scripts.

I think all y’all motherfucks forgot about Dre.
Ladies Love HGH.
tyler perry?!?
Hell yes, the more juiced musicians we have the better. Also, if this filters down to the indie world the dude from the shins will totally win the next fight with his girlfriend.
What about Busta Rhymes? His muscles finally match the size of his nostrils.
Don’t forget Danzig too. I know he claims his physique is all due to strenuous weight lifting and rubbing powdered scorpion stingers into his muscles, but he’s gotta be hittin’ the roids.
vitamin water … vitamin water
Leslie Feist just deleted her Gmail account and “lost” her
cellphone. (I always did think it was fishy that Brian McNamee got a
co-producer credit on “My Moon My Man.”)
Next inexplicably popular Tyler Perry movie — “Madea’s ‘Roid Rage”
@DaeSu: I think the actual title will be Tyler Perry’s Madea’s ‘Road Rage–and unlike his lame stage musicals and major motion pictures, I would actually pay good money to see this!
Uhh, what about Timbaland? Am I the only one who saw the Promiscuous video?

Uh yea, Timbaland didn’t always look like that.
I was looking for a prescription site when I came across your post in a google search. I agree you with your post completely. Couldn’t of said it better myself.
Nice article dude Thanks
I had seen past articles that they have been caught doing the same thing before and of course they promised it would never happen again…. and they lie over and over. It is all propaganda
