Breezy On 106 & Park

In the promotion efforts for  his new album F.A.M.E. our beloved Chris "Breezy" Brown rocked the stage of 106 & Park today.

Here is the video:

Willow Is Making Her 21st Century Mark

When she released the Whip My Hair single, a lot of people thought she was good but we weren't too sure if she had what it takes for the industry. Back again with her second single since, Willow releases 21st Century Girl and from the looks of it, she seems to be one of those artists to definitely keep an eye on. Here's her video, enjoy!

KIM'S VIDEO FROM THE DISSTAPE BLACK FRIDAY

So we know that Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj have this ongoing beef because Kim believes that Nicki is a swagga jacka .... AND? I don't know if Kim has realised but in the music industry everyone borrows from each other, whether it is style or music ... everyone borrows and Kim should be happy that Nicki is copying her ... imitation is the highest form from of flattery ... ain't it??? Anyway... without further adieu .. the video!

Teirra Marie "U Know What It Is"

I've always thought this chic was a little under-rated, check out her new music video for the single "U Know What It Is". Perfect song for the haters, and guys I'm sure you'll appreciate that outfit!

Kanye West Has Jungle Fever

Kanye West was spotted at the Christian Dior show wearing a show stopping number - a lepoard print jacket from the Givenchy’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection that he paired with distress jeans and loafers. No Amber Rose on his arm this time but he still made a bold fashion statement.

Nekkid Breezy Picture o_O

So the word on the street is that some chic has leaked nekkid pictures of Chris Brown. Is it a coincidence that this happens right before his album is set to be released? Hmmmm. So he goes blonde, gets a new tattoo and he's showing of his weiner. Let's see how well the public relations works out for the album sales.

Rihanna Makes A Billi on Youtube!

She's probably saying "take that haters!". With all the controversy surrounding her damaged public image, Rihanna still remains one of the world's favorites and this was confirmed a couple of days ago from Famecount.com, a social media analyzer who tracks the statistics for Youtube. This is a big accomplishment for any artist, Rihanna has now become the fourth artist to be ranked in this elite billion viewer club, she joins now Eminem, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.

KIM IS A SWAGGA JACKER!

So we thought Kim was trying to go for an Alicia Keys type image with her new single "Jam (Turn It Up)" but in this recently released image on the set of her new music video it really looks like she is seriously swagga jackin' our most beloved Nicki Minaj. Hmmm, let us see what the press will have to say about this!

Lil Wayne's 6 Foot 7 Foot Video

A lot of us have been waiting for this moment ... The premier of Weezy's first music video since his release from prison. Let's take a look at it and see if the much loved rapper has lived up to his legendary name yet again:

Gaga Lands In Toronto

Today Gaga arrived in Toronto for a Monster Ball Concert at the AirCanada Centre. Here is an image of her disembarking the jet... need we say more?

Time Out For RiRi

Good Girl Gone Bad has now become an understatement for the pop diva who went from nice to very naughty in just about a month. Stepping on the feet of very important people like Donald Trump, Rihanna has quickly earned her place in the bad books of world leaders like the Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan who described her  performances as "filthy" and her fans "swine". It is no surprise to us that her single S&M which was banned in Britain continues to reflect on her promiscuous and erratic sexual behavior recently. Sources have confirmed that her record label has become very concerned about her public image after rumors of her sexual relations with male and female groupies surfaced. Should we be surprised following her professed New Year's Resolution earlier this year?

Worried about her damaged reputation and recurrent sickness, mentor Jay-Z has ordered RiRi to take a week holiday on a the grounds that she was over-worked and it was causing an impact on her mental health. God Bless You Ri Ri, we hope you have a speedy recovery before it is too late for you to gain back your respect and appeal.

10 Year Olds Set Weezy Straight

They call themselves Watoto from The Nile and they have a very strong message that is addressed to Weezy F. Following the contentious rumours about Weezy and his Young Money crew discriminating towards black women and his suggestive racial connotations in the popular track "I'm Single", a group of 10 year olds have brought it upon themselves to set Mr. Wayne straight. It will be interesting to see how Lil Wayne responds to this as he has a daughter of similar age. We'll keep you posted but for now check out the music video below:

Kim Releases New Single - Jam (Turn It Up)

Remember when Paris released her album, we all thought that she should just stick to being blonde and looking cute. Is that a similar sentiment the public will share with Kim Kardashian's new single "Jam (Turn It Up)"? And Guess what, The Dream is the producer. With her hair braided in the promotional image for the highly synthesized track, we gotta admit that she kind of looks like Alicia Keys but we bet she sounds nothing like her....not even close!

Breezy Has Balls!

Caught leaving a doctor's office in Beverly Hills a couple days ago, was returned R&B singer Sisqo, shoot ... no, we mean Chris Brown. No need to examine the specifics for Breezy's gesture but I guess there is much to speculate with that doctor visit. His much awaited album F.A.M.E. is set to be released next month, two years after his public fall-out with ex-girlfriend Rihanna. We can't wait to hear what's gonna be on that album!

Omarion Is God-fearing, Respectful & Bisexual ?

Remember B2K? The pretty all male R&B group that everyone had a little question mark over their heads? The one that split up and then some time after one of the band's members Raz B reported that he was molested by Chris Stokes his cousin and ex-manager and Marques Houston, fellow singer. After years of confirm on Ras' part and deny on Houston's and Stokes' part, Raz B came out late last year giving Vibe Magazine the full scoop on what happened, emphasizing that he was not lying or bipolar as another fellow singer of the group, Omarion alleged. Well, we don't know if Raz was lying to this date but we can tell you that in a recent press release Omarion revealed his sexuality stating, “I pride myself in being an honest, God Fearing, respectful man. I have kept my personal life private and wanted to keep it that way. Unfortunately, other’s are interested in profiting from my anguish; so before they can do that, i will clarify things. I am not at all what certain ex-band members are trying to paint me as, I am however a respectable, mature, proud, bisexual man.”

Look at this picture ... Do you think we're surprised? Let's just sit back and wait for the other members to spill their beans now. Maybe some light on Raz B's case will be shed soon.

New Year Sexolution

After her short-lived relationship with Matt Kemp it looks like Rihanna has been on a dry spell. After leaving Phillipe Chow in Los Angeles on Wednesday with her longtime bestfriend, Melissa, the paparazzi inquired about what her new years resolution would be. Very candidly, the chart topping singer replied "Sex!" before quickly boarding a vehicle and playfully spanking her friend.


Here's the video, if you don't believe us.


I guess there's no S in S&M for the bold redhead, no worries we'll stay tuned to find out if the odds turn in her favour.

Milk In My Coffee Please

According to rumours surrounding an email, Lil Wayne and his Young Money clique don't like their women dark skinned. The message surfaced the net earlier this week when a woman by the name of Destiny sent her fury-filled email to Necole Bitchie, sparking much controversy and raising many question marks about Young Money's possible but not probable semi-racism.

Destiny wrote:
My friend Tammy is a model she had a couple of photo shoots to go to in miami ..after going to her photoshoots we met up with mack maine from young money, he then took us to a hotel a couple of other girls were there and so was lil wayne, guda guda, lil chuckee, and birdman. My friend Tammy is light skin and me and my friend jessica are dark skinned chicks, when we entered the room guda guda was like “damn ya’ll pretty to be dark skin” and then wayne quoted a verse from one of his songs that said “Beautiful Black Woman i bet that b*tch look better red”.
I heard the song before and i was offended when i heard the lyrics i brushed my feelings off and forgot about what the gremlin said, but him saying it over again made me angry as hell, tammy was looking in shock and jessica was clearly upset ,so me being the outspoken person that i am i said Wayne your daughter is dark skin so why would u say such ignorance. he then said “my daughter is a dark skin millionaire thats the difference between her and u”. Is this fool serious?
I can tell he was very upset because i brought his daughter up but that is no excuse for what he said next he stated “MY daughter is the first and last dark skin child im having, the rest of my baby moms light skin chicks i even got an asian baby moms to make sure i have a daughter with good hair, too bad we had a son”, everybody start laughing and me and jessica stormed out of the room and some guys followed us saying “not everybody hate dark skin girls Young Money just allergic to Chocolate”, of course me and my girls cursed them out..
I will never buy or listen to young money songs again and the rest of the dark skin girls shouldnt buy them either! F*CKN JERK

After the blog was posted, Mack Maine aired his views on Twitter...

Following was a random tweet from Liltunechi himself saying ...

Do we Weezy? I guess we'll just have to give you the benefit of the doubt this time but if this ish is true... Shame on you!!

Keri Hilson says "No Boys Allowed!"

Following the R&B's album drop late last year, Keri Hilson releases the music video for her first single, Pretty Girl Rock (produced by Neyo). With a hint of misandry in her "No Boys Allowed" title, the sophomore album offers a deeper and rather opposite message to women. Hilson expresses 'It's not about excluding men. It's more about women understanding that there comes a time in your life when you want a man. A real man. A grown up. Not a boy. And that's not a bad thing.'

The track list includes collaborations with Nelly, Chris Brown, Rick Ross, J.Cole and Kanye West. "Pretty as a picture, sweeter than a swisher...." here is Keri Hilson with Pretty Girl Rock.

Coming Soon!
