Don Cornelius, creator and host of the iconic TV dance show “Soul Train,” was found dead on Wednesday morning at his Los Angeles-area home, police said. The 75-year-old is believed to have committed suicide.

According to the AP, officers responded to a report of a shooting at his Sherman Oaks, Calif., home at around 4 a.m. He was pronounced dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at 4:56 a.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter.

Celebrities mourned his passing on Twitter. “Black music never looked so good. R.I.P. Don Cornelius,” tweeted Keri Hilson, while Common called him “a true pioneer and trailblazer to the biz!”

“Soul Train” debuted in 1970 in Chicago and aired nationally from 1971 to 2006, introducing legendary artists such as Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, and Barry White.

Hit-Boy is taking Audio Push under his wing. The Inland Empire MCs have inked a deal with the “Ni**as in Paris” producer’s label Hits Since 87, Inc. through Interscope.

“We did sign with our favorite producer, Hit-Boy,” Oktane and Price Tag announced on L.A. radio station Power 106.

Their first release will be the mixtape Truth Be Told, due March 7. “This is really our best work yet. We got dope, crazy, amazing features. It’s gonna be life-changing,” explained the duo.

Audio Push recently shot a video for their new single “Radio” featuring Mishon.

Machine Gun Kelly’s “Wild Boy” ways have landed him in police custody. The Cleveland rapper was arrested over the weekend for disorderly conduct.

The 21-year-old Bad Boy signee, born Richard Baker, spent four hours behind bars after Florida police charged him with misdemeanor disorderly conduct/brawling, reports TMZ. The arrest occurred Sunday at 4:12 a.m. following his show in St. Petersburg. He was released a few hours later after posting $100 bond.

MGK took to Twitter to address the situation. “Just spent my entire night in a fucking Florida jail…shit escaladed way to quick last night, it always does with us though,” he tweeted. “The weirdest part of it was how many inmates in there knew who I was and knew about the movement. It was some trippy shit. Lace the FUCK up.”

He added, “Anyways, thank you Florida for ragin this week. Lookin forward to seeing every state during this spring/summer tour (no more handcuffs tho!)”

He will continue raging on the road, with his next show at Los Angeles’ Key Club on February 8.
