Beyoncé has reached a 100 million followers on Instagram and is the 4th person to do so. Beyoncé recently made an appearance out with her cousin during a birthday party. In other music news, sides are being chose once again when it comes to the feud between Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj. Reality TV stars Premadonna and Tommie("Love & Hip Hop Atlanta") have dogged Remy's former friend, Rah Ali for jumping ship to Nicki Minaj. Rah and Nicki claim to have been friends prior to the falling out between Remy and Nicki. Rah makes an appearance in Nicki's video for "No Frauds" which debuted earlier today. So whose side are you on? Nicki or Remy? While you all decide on that, Chris Brown's ex; Karrueche is being blasted by Brown's lawyer. He claims that Karrueche is simply using Brown's name in the press to garner attention and has yet to serve Brown with the restraining order. Karrueche's own people shot back denying the claims.

Baby boy. Hey! I have lots of news today! It just so happens that today is one of those big news days and so early in the year makes it even better. The big news has been Chris Brown acting like a sociopath but Janet Jackson has finally given birth and everyone is talking about that and I think people have finally stopped talking about Mariah and her non-performance. I know I'm tired of hearing about it. Aren't you?  Eissan Al Mana is the name of Janet's first child with her husband Wissam Al Mana. Janet announced early last year that she was cancelling her "Unbreakable" tour to start a family. The move drew much criticism and people weren't kind. Janet did assure fans that once she had her baby she would continue her tour. Just don't count on that to happen right away guys!  Chris Brown has been sparring with Soulja Boy online and now he's turned his sights on his ex-girlfriend; Karrueche Tran after she commented on the back and forth between...

The blame game. Chris Brown is a hot ass mess! I mean what other way can I put it? But before I get into that.. Mariah Carey, her management, and ABC continue to play the blame game after her disastrous New Year's Eve performance. ABC has since shot back and said they wouldn't intentionally sabotage someone's performance. I think Mariah should just own up to her mistake which she has pretty much because she tweeted saying "shit happens". But enough of this story already!  Chris Brown has threatened to kick Soulja Boy's butt after he liked a picture of Brown's ex; Karrueche Tran. I'm so tired of Chris Brown getting upset at anyone and everyone that shows a liking to Karrueche. Whether their intentions are good or not, why choose to care now? You didn't care when you with her as much since you continued to act like a madman and allegedly abuse substances. Just when I thought Chris was over Karrueche, he is not. He has been commenting on all ...

Young Thug in trouble. Do you all remember the video that surfaced of Young Thug at an airport dissing the airport employees? The video surfaced like two weeks ago. I don't recall what all the commotion was about but Young Thug's mother was so up in my arms, she had him go back and apologize to the airport employees. Well now Young Thug has went and got himself arrested. Some say its karma for his treatment of the airport employees. Do you believe in karma? Young Thug got arrested a couple of days ago by the way so this isn't exactly up-to-date news but I figured since I had a picture of his album cover, I'd talk about his arrest.  Speaking of Young Thug, he and Future have collaborated and Future shared a snippet of the track on his Snapchat account. Judging on how both rappers release music pretty frequently, we should be hearing this collaboration very soon. Are you here for a Future and Young Thug song?  While I'm on the subject of songs, Remy Ma has ...

Hey folks! So the big news stories today are Ciara getting engaged to Russell Wilson. Congrats to the couple! Still can't stand Ciara though! I think she is severely overexposed. Something tells me she'll be pregnant again soon. The other big story Chris Brown's mental state. The singer has been going off online about many a things including his beef with artist Kevin McCall. He's also beefed this week with Jacob York(I forget who he is) and his ex Karrueche Tran. Chris filled his social media with various tirades dissing, dismissing, and threatening former associates, ex girlfriends, and fans. The man is insane! I hope he gets a hold of himself and gets the professional help he needs. Seriously! Remember the news about Keyshia Cole egging Bow Wow's car? Well Lil' Mo has came out and thrown some shade at Keyshia, which if I'm not mistaken she has done in the past and to add to that, Mo has thrown shade at many a artist over the years. I forget what Mo said...

Nicki Minaj's "The Pink Print" has been certified double Platinum! Future's "DS2" has been certified Gold and Big Sean's "Dark Sky Paradise" has been certified Platinum. According to RIAA, they have now implemented streaming audio along with album shipments and sales to the cumulative sales when it comes to certifications if that makes sense. You can go over to RIAA for more information. The new rules of course has some in an uproar but what else is new? So has anyone heard Kanye's new album? The album went to TIDAL last weekend after Kanye's bizarre performance on "SNL". Now I read that the album may not be for sale at all. I don't know what that's about but also there's more to the story regarding Kanye dissing Taylor Swift on the song "Famous". Apparently someone on the Grammy commite(sp) revealed that Taylor Swift heard "Famous" before it was released contrary to reports that says she hadn...

Your looking at an old banner above, in case you were wondering but anyway on to the music news! Tyga is being sued by some video vixens after they say he and his team sexually assaulted them and some other jargon. Actually this was all settled out of court earlier this year, but one of the girls has said she was shorted on her money. I guess this is a case of "bitch better have my money". Pay up Tyga! And the neverending saga between Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran came to a head again today. Chris Brown called out his ex for continuing to do interviews about him. Chris' ex retorted saying she was asked about him and she answered the question but he was not all she was talking about. She went on to say how Chris was trying to lure her back with him with gifts, car, etc. Chris responded back this time a bit gentler and wished his ex well. Something tells me though this is not the end of these two. Maybe they won't be back together again(anytime soon) but I'm sur...

Your looking at a throwback picture right here circa 2005. It was a picture taken at the first place I started working at which is the same place I still work at just in a different building. Funny how fast time flies. And while Ciara may not be cashing in on her record sales she is keeping busy by being the new face of Roberto Cavalli. It's funny because her sometimes rival Rihanna is the face of another big designer, Dior. Hmm..its funny because last week Wendy Williams suggested that Ciara try modeling and it looks like she got wind of the advice long before it was solicited. Speaking of modeling, Tyson Beckford took time away from canoodling Karrueche Tran, Chris Brown's ex and has now set his sights on Mariah Carey. The two cuddled up for a picture last night I'm guessing. I read the picture was taken on Snapchat. Anyway people were saying is Nick Cannon going to come for Tyson now? :) I doubt it but you never know. TheShadeRoom was referring to Tyson as "Mr. S...

Chris Brown should of be ashamed of himself. This is just sad. Personally I think this is another cry out for help. He's hurting. And it doesn't help to have a group of nothing ass guys behind you pumping you up. Like why are you beefing with Tyson Beckford of all people? I mean Chris Brown once beefed with Frank Ocean of all people so I guess no one is off limits. Hey y'all! Happy Memorial Day! I hope you all are enjoying or have enjoyed your weekend festivities. I know I did! And while we were all cooking, drinking, dancing, laughing, etc. a feud has erupted between Chris Brown and model Tyson Beckford. And to be honest I'm still saying what the fuck? It is probably one of the most interesting and awkwardest feuds thus far of the year. It all started when Tyson and Chris' ex Karrueche Tran took a picture. And we all know Chris Brown being the person he is, felt some type of way about this and blasted Tyson. Chris got his chain gang in tow and headed to Vegas but...

Chris Brown's ex, Karrueche Tran has come out and denied reports that Chris Brown had her car repossessed. The story goes Brown bought Tran a new car in order to get back in her good graces. Why? Because duh it was discovered he fathered an infant child with some groupie girl. And since Tran hasn't taken Brown back yet, he reportedly wanted the car back, a Porsche to be exact! Speaking of exes, the infamous Kenya Moore of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" revealed on social media a day or so ago that the man she met on "Millionaire Matchmaker" and subsequently started dating is married and its not to her. Kenya claims to had learned of the news the same as we all did. But Kenya's onscreen arch nemesis Porsha Williams had the tea weeks ago. During last week's airing of Part 2 of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion, Porsha revealed via Twitter that Kenya's new man was married. And I'm sure Kenya, at that point knew he was as well...
