March

Lil Boosie was released from prison on March 5. He had spent almost five years there. Shortly after he released "Show Da World" and announced a new album Touchdown 2 Cause Hell to be released by Atlantic Records.
  • On March 5, Lil Boosie was released from the Louisiana State Penitentiary where he has been incarcerated since 2009 on drug charges.
  • On March 11, it was revealed that Diddy had bid 200 million dollars on the Madison Square Garden Company-owned Fuse television channel. However, he would be outbid by Jennifer Lopez's NuvoTV.
  • On March 12, Freddie Gibbs released "Real", his first diss record towards former boss Young Jeezy.
  • On March 13, Petey Pablo was released from prison after serving 35 months in prison after being arrested for gun smuggling.
  • On March 14, Chris Brown was arrested and taken to jail until at least April 23, 2014, due to him being kicked out of rehab after he refused to take a drug test, made disturbing comments about his use of weapons, and disobeyed an order placed on him in the facility to remain at least two feet away from all women.
  • On March 18, Derek Minor announced that he has left Reach Records, as his two-album contract with the label is now complete.
  • On March 23, Jay-Z addressed Drake's recent comments in a Rolling Stone interview regarding Jay-Z's references to art, during Jay Electronica's remix to Soulja Boy's "We Made It". In the song Jay-Z says, "Sorry Mrs. Drizzy for so much art talk / Silly me, rappin' 'bout shit that I really bought / While these rappers rap about guns that they ain't shot / And a bunch of other silly shit that they ain't got."
  • On March 25, Diddy changed his stage name back to Puff Daddy for his next studio album MMM.
  • On March 28, Migos were involved in a Florida shootout that left one of the members of their entourage in the hospital.

  • On April 18, the NYPD thwarted an alleged multi-million dollar extortion plot by producer Chauncey Mahan against Jay-Z. Mahan who worked with Jay Z from 1998 and 2002, was in possession of a number of Jay-Z master recordings that Jay-Z and his associates assumed were lost. They were estimated to be between $15 million and $20 million.
  • On April 27, DJ E-Z Rock of duo Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock passed away from unknown cases. The duo was best known for the single "It Takes Two" and its respective album.

May

XXL selected Chance The Rapper, Vic Mensa and Jon Connor to their annual freshman class.
Hip hop group G-Unit consisting of 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and Tony Yayo officially reunited on June 1, 2014.
  • On May 31, OTF NuNu, a member of Lil Durk's OTF crew, was shot and killed in Chicago.
