Bobby Brown
R&B singer Bobby Brown was arrested and jailed in Massachusetts last night (February 25) for failing to make a court appearance and pay child support fines.
According to People, Brown was picked up outside his daughter's cheerleading competition at her high school. The 40-year-old crooner was reportedly cooperative despite being denied a request to attend the event by the arresting officers.
Brown owes money to his former girlfriend Kim Ward, who lives in Massachusetts and with whom he has two teenage children: LaPrincia and Bobby III.
In October, Brown paid $11,000 in delinquent child support after being threatened with arrest if he stepped back into Massachusetts. It is unknown how much Brown owes Ward at this point.
Brown, who was held overnight, will face a judge this afternoon (February 26) who will decide whether to charge the singer with contempt of a child support order. If the charge is criminal, the infamous vocalist could land in jail.
Brown has a history of missed child support payments, and was jailed in March 2004 for one day after missing several payments, which he subsequently paid.
Okay, so first, there was rap beef… then there was R&B beef… and now… producer beef? I don’t know if I can call it a beef yet, because Timbaland hasn’t (and I hope doesn’t) come back with a response. I never in a million years thought I would hear Scott Storch trying to come at anyone’s throat over a track, RAPPING! He whines, and he complains… but never did I see this coming. Basically, it’s a bunch of calling out and name calling. But I was just really shocked and surprised to hear this. Is Scott Storch really that bored? What is really going on? What’s the industry coming to?! I’ll post a download link as soon as one is made readily available!
NOTE: Thanks to everyone who has e-mailed me about the Timbaland interviews on MTV, as well as on “My Block,” where Timbaland calls Scott Storch out and calls him “Piano Man.” I knew that there was some tension between them, because Storch used to play keys on Timbaland records - I just never thought it would come to this mess!
The surprise in this isn't that Ray J is a grown ass man. It's not even that Ray J is bangin' some of the most desirable women in Hollywood. The surprise is the more women he bags, the more women come a calling.
Ray J loves himself some Kims!
After her line in Ray J's "Wait A Minute" forever labeled Ray J nothing but 'Brandy's brother' Lil Kim takes up with the 'all of a sudden' heartthrob.
,According to TMZ... Ray J has been flossin' Lil Kim and the puppies all throughout Hollywood-- showing up at Vibe's Pre-Oscar event.
Can make a Sprite can disappear in her mouth.
The funny thing is, Kim had to compete for attention with Ray J's new Ferrari-- bought with that cool million scored from them Kardashian sex tapes.
Touching back on the post I did on Friday regarding CNN’s special on Hip-Hop “Is it Art or Poison”, I found some video footage on youtube.com with popular radio personalities Ryan Cameron, and Elle of Atlanta’s people station—V103.
Since CNN premiered their straight to the point special, Hip-Hop has been on the defense in a big way. Rappers and fans of the innovative, and often times, toxic music genre have been flooding in calls in major urban markets to express their opinions about society’s negative feelings towards rap music
I myself, continue to remain on the fence of this discussion. Though I feel that Hip-Hop isn’t a perfect art form, what genre is? If you look at Pop music, you have Madonna and Britney, who have used direct sexual overtones to sell their music. If you look at Heavy Metal/Rock, you’ve got Ozzy Osborne and Marilyn Manson who use often times grotesque pieces of machinery in their videos that would turn even the strongest stomach inside out.
What I do think is that as a people, we’ve got to take ownership and accountability for what we portray within our own culture. Hip-Hop, much like, Gospel, and R&B, belongs to the black community. We may have been robbed and cheated out of ownership like we have been on so many other things, but we still dictate its influence and ultimately its popularity. Think about it, if today’s most popular, and sought out rappers decided to staged a boycott and chose not release one track or produce a single video ever again, what would happen to Hip-Hop?
At the end of the day we need to stand up as a people and say enough is enough. Being a creative person myself, I think freedom of expression is very important. However, when it starts seep into our actual lives and transcends adults and directly effect our youth. Then we should have a responsibility to stifle some of the creativity for the further progression of our woman and children.
