Chris Brown is accused of drugging and raping a woman on a yacht moored at Diddy’s mansion on Dec. 30, 2020.
TMZ reports a lawsuit filed by a Jane Doe claims she was drugged and then raped by Chris Brown after he asked her to come and see him.
The woman, who says she’s a professional choreographer, dancer, model, and musical artist said a chance encounter led to the alleged assault. She was on a facetime call with a friend who happened to be with the singer. Chris Brown took the phone from her friend and asked her to come to Diddy’s Star Island home.
Chris Brown Handed Jane Doe Two Drinks
According to TMZ after she arrived, Chris escorted her to the yacht’s kitchen, where he offered her a drink. The lawsuit states he mixed her a drink and gave it to her in a red cup, and the pair began talking. However, once she took a second drink, she claims she began to feel “a sudden, unexplained change in consciousness.”
Jane Doe also claims she felt “disoriented, physically unstable, and started to fall in and out of sleep.” It was at this point, she alleged Chris took her into a bedroom. She described her condition as “drugged” and “half-asleep.”
From there, she claims Chris Brown closed the door once they entered the bedroom, preventing her from leaving. He then removed her bikini bottoms and began kissing her. Despite her mumbling for him to stop, she claims he continued and ultimately raped her, e########## inside her. He then got up and said he was “done.”
She alleges Chris contacted her the following day, demanding she take a Plan B, which she did.
She claims the alleged rape has caused her to suffer severe emotional distress and is seeking $20 million in damages. Her attorneys, Ariel Mitchell and George Vrabeck told TMZ that she did not report the alleged rape to the police at the time because she was a medical student and felt embarrassed. Further, they are “committed to victims being heard and would urge anyone with information to contact them.”
Chris Brown had not commented on the lawsuit at the time of going to press.

Music streaming services have changed the industry forever. Streaming platforms have changed the way we listen and buy music giving audiences the ability to have more control over what they listen to and when. In addition, the ability to get social and share your favorite fans with similar likes can spread the word about new artists giving life to emerging careers.

It’s 5:30 am on a cold December morning. New-gen singer ImTheJay is well on her way through her third set of voice and breathing exercises. Nothing is more important to ImTheJaymore than her hour-long morning practice session. It’s like keeping a feeble flame of a candle burning in a stormy night. Your talent is the flame. The market is a stormy night. And what keeps you safe and going is the time you put-in in practicing diligently every day. Here she shares three benefits any creative individual can experience by allocating time for practice every single day.
Practice maintains perfection.
Most people think of daily practice as a means to achieve some level of expertise in any given field. Creative people practice a chosen form of art. But most people see the daily practice as a short-term obligation in their creative journey; or their journey to perfection. This is one of the many common misconceptions about daily practice. ImTheJay believes an artist has to practice all through their life. Daily practice is not just to attain perfection. It is also to maintain the perfection achieved.
Daily practice is food for art.
Sometimes, the art that we create comes from the deep recesses of the subconscious. However, the common everyday stresses of life sever the mind’s connection with the subconscious. This results in unconscious actions. There is not enough stimulation for the mind to connect with the subconscious. The necessary nourishment needed to make this connection is lacking in mainstream consciousness. ImTheJay is of the belief that an artist cannot thrive on mainstream consciousness. For their work to truly resonate with their audience, artists need to create original work that comes from the subconscious. Daily practice is a great way to stimulate the mind to go into deep introspection and bring out newer ideas to light.
Daily practice for balanced living.
Life has too many coordinates. It is very easy for a person to get lost in the many mundane tasks that everyday life demands out of us. The only way artists or any individual can find their orientation in this chaotic reality of our world is to ground oneself in routine. Daily practice is a great way to bring the mind to quiet and keep a calm and balanced outlook.
Like how a knife is kept sharp with regular sharpening, one’s skills and talents need to be kept in top shape all the time. Only daily practice can help one do that. ImTheJay’s perspectives on daily practice can be useful for anyone trying to get better in what they do.
Vasjan Zisi also known as Vasjan is an artist/club promoter from Boston, Massachusetts. He recently dropped a visual for the song “Pull Up N Ride” which features new york artist Ron Suno. The record was produced by @Sebiiceleb. Critics are calling this record one of the best drill collaborations of the year. Its up-tempo vibe has the record circulating through clubs all over the east coast.
The video was shot by @1ivisuals. The video has over one million views on youtube. In 2020 he won the promoter of the year award in Mega Mass Tv Awards and was nominated as the Promoter of the year in the 2021 Boston Music Awards. He has worked with artists such as Lil Baby, Megan Thee Stallion, Tory Lanez, Da Baby, NLE Choppa, Young MA, Rubi Rose, Dave East, and many more. His rising stardom has improved over the years changing his audience from underground to mainstream.
Starting and thriving in the entertainment industry is not an easy feat. Even though you could be very talented, that alone might not be enough to see you find success. You need to build your name and establish your brand. Most importantly, you need a mentor who has been where you are and one who understands your vision. Award-winning music producer Menoh knows how hard that can be. That’s why he is out to make a difference in the lives of young artists and the industry in general.
At the moment, Menoh is a six-time platinum music producer. He is perhaps more known for his projects with award-winning artist Lil Tecca, with whom he has worked on many projects. Menoh produced two songs on Tecca’s album “We Love You Tecca.” The album was number one on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums billboard. It also took the number one spot on the Top Rap albums billboard. So far, the songs Menoh has produced have accumulated nearly 2B streams on different streaming platforms.
Menoh started planning his exit from the music scene. In his frustration, he deleted all but two of his creations. He then started looking for a buyer for his speakers. However, in a last act of hope, he sent his two beats to artist Lil Skies. Just as he was on the verge of shutting everything down, life changed again. Lil Skies picked up one beat and used it in his debut song, “Red Roses.” The track became an international hit and Menoh’s life, as he knew it, changed forever.
Success came with its issues too. At one point, Menoh became too comfortable with where he was in his career. As a result, he started becoming complacent. Things were different this time though, and luckily, he was surrounded by people who called him out. That pushed him to do better, and he started setting goals for himself. Each goal he achieved motivated him to do more, and that has helped him retain his success.
Menoh’s journey opened his eyes to the gaps in the industry. Consequently, he decided to change the game and to help as many artists as he could. He shares his wisdom to smaller producers as well, showing them the ropes as he wished someone had done for him. Menoh’s ultimate goal is to change how producers are seen and categorized in the industry.
In addition to producing quality music, Menoh wants to be known for pioneering change. He is committed to bringing opportunities and opening doors for up-and-coming producers. In the next few years, he hopes to open and run a successful management company for both producers and artists. There, he will share his expertise and inspire them to become the best versions of themselves.

The “All Falls Down” rapper has partnered with Skid Row Fashion Week to do a fashion show for those without homes. The goal of this collab with the streetwear brand is to get people to make clothes and then rock them on a runway.
According to TMZ, Yeezy met David Sabastian, the founder of Skid Row Fashion Week, at the top of the year. The rapper-turned-designer was working on his Donda 2 album in his studio in L.A.’s Arts District.
The L.A. Arts District is very close to Skid Row and once the two started chopping it up, they decided to create this Yeezy X Skid Row Fashion Week clothing collab to help the homeless on Skid Row.
The fashion line created for this experience will drop on Feb. 22.
The money will help the Skid Row Fashion Week factory hire some people from the unsheltered population and train them to make clothes. While they are in the early stages of this project, Sabastian says they are hoping that some of the new hires can model the clothes in the actual show.
The couture will feature stuff that can be found on Skis Row. One idea is a trash bag puffer jacket.
Jordyn Woods has denied rumors suggesting she is pregnant with her first child.
On Wednesday, fans speculated that she was expecting after she snapped photos with her boyfriend Karl-Anthony Towns while holding what appeared to be a tiny Nike shoebox.
“It was a gift card box,” the model replied via her Instagram Stories. “And no, I don’t want kids right now nor am I pregnant.”
In addition, Jordyn explained that she was changing her clothes due to the colder weather in Portland, Oregon where the Minnesota Timberwolves basketball star played this week.
“I’ve been wearing baggy clothes because it’s cold AF!!! Minnesota was -4. Also I’m always cold AF regardless that’s why I’m trying to get my iron up,” she wrote with a crying face emoji.

Gordon said he was almost forced to resign due to Burstein’s menacing. But in the end, it was former co-counsel Tyrone Blackburn who forced Gordon off the case.
Earlier today (January 27th), Gordon wrote a letter to the court revealing Tyrone Blackburn had terminated his representation of Jennifer Hough.
Apparently, a huge disagreement over the strategy to best represent Hough going forward in her case against Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty was at the root of Blackburn and Gordon’s dispute.
“Simply put, without revealing attorney-client privileged communications, lead counselor and I irreconcilably disagree with respect to legal strategy moving forward,” Gordon said. “This is by no means a reflection of any views concerning the merits of this action or any future related actions.”
Although Steven N. Gordon will no longer be representing Jennifer Hough, he wants his cut of any settlement or judgment she might win against Nicki Minaj and her husband.
“If or when, judgment or settlement is entered, I seek that fees are properly appropriated for our representation to date. It is my understanding that this will be amicably worked out between lead council and I at the appropriate time. If no agreement can be reached, we reserve all rights to pursue collection of such fees,” Gordon told the court.
Hip-Hop is a magnetic entity. Always, at its best it arouses one’s rapt consideration. For example, 50 Cent readily adds his reaction to Gucci Mane’s new track, “Rumors.” Moreover, it is the unequivocal honesty of Gucci Mane La Flare which demands attention. Undoubtedly, this is what garners a reaction from the Queens lyricist.
After, briefly mentioning Blac Youngsta and Yo Gotti the conversation quickly settles on Big Guwop. First off, the established entrepreneur brings up the infamous bar. Soon, a festive jig starts. Then Fif recalls, ““That n#### said, ‘I think my house is haunted, yeah, by who? The ghost of Pookie.’”
https://www.instagram.com/p/CZNRlDUBOSn/
Although, both Jeezy and Gucci Mane would reconcile for a 2020 Verzuz battle. However, their ongoing animosity has yet to be completely squashed. At the time, their appearance proves historic. Consequently, more folks would tune into the anticipated battle than ever before. In fact, more than 9.1 million folks watched the legendary match. And, 50 is an avid supporter of the Hip-Hop culture.
Above all, let us again highlight the details. Back in 2005, Mr. Davis employed deadly force. Consequently, Gucci Mane was cleared of any charges. While defending himself, in an alleged robbery attempt, Pookie Loc succumbs to his fatal injuries. To his credit, the “Many Men” MC recognizes the circumstances.
Be that as it may, Fiddy seems to momentarily immense himself into this matter. Accompanying the Instagram post, its candid caption reads, ” 😆yo this s### be crazy out here stay dangerous, that way you feel safe.🤨Get the strap! 😆Gucci say he smokin on pooky Loc @bransoncognac@lecheminduroi“
Ultimately, it is the accompanying chuckle which may signify a growing disdain towards Jeezy. If nothing else, 50 Cent always stands on speaking his mind. However how calculating, or cunning, he relentlessly expresses his opinion.
An array of meaningful experiences continue to educate 2 Chainz. Thus, this knowledge is supplying his wealth of creativity. So now, his seventh studio album is set to drop on, Feb. 4. Of course, the upcoming effort demonstrates his evolution as an artist. Be that as it may, does its album art also audaciously boasts his success?
Although, the Intelligent MC gives a palpable contribution to Brick Rap. However, this approaching LP will serve as his last Trap album. Namely, Mr. “Save Me” says as much. “This gone be my last trap album , enjoy”
So, as Tity Boi’s release date approaches he is strategically feeding its anticipation. Somehow, Four Bracelets is still hungry and humble. Already, the singles, “Million Dollars Worth of Game,” and the recent, “Pop Music” is readily supplying his supporters.
Recently, The Vet offers up an eloquent artistic expression. The creativity poignantly encompasses a snapshot of 2 Chainz’ history. A diamond-encrusted wrist drips down into a personalized shoebox bursting with bills. Stacks of Blue Faces emphasizes his blunt success.
Soon, the ATLien expresses his candid insight. Through his official Instagram page the entrepreneur speaks. “Hey guys ! How are you ?Today I would like to reveal the album cover for MY upcoming classic (DOPE DONT SELL ITSELF )!,”reads the post.
Moreover, the “No Lie” lyricist then professes, “This is a reimagined image of my “ first bank account” I’m sure some of the hustlers can relate ! Hit link in bio for merch”
Atlanta rapper and business mogul 2 Chainz has been named the Head of Creative Marketing for the fast-food franchise, Krystal. The accepting the job, he becomes the first person in the quick-serve restaurant business to hold a C-suite position in creative marketing.
According to a corporate press release, he will be responsible for “leading the creation of multiple new platforms and partnerships, including menus, merchandising and co-branded restaurants in the brand’s hometown of Atlanta.”
The GRAMMY-winning artist has been connected to the franchise since he was a kid.

Thomas Stager, President of Krystal Restaurants LLC, stated, “Chainz and I grew up in neighboring areas – both of us are from the Southside of Atlanta. Being able to work with someone who’s where you’re from and who has been ultra-successful is something that means a lot.”
In this position, the “Pop Music” chart-topper will collaborate with the company to create a custom co-branded Krystal restaurant in College Park, his hometown neighborhood. Premiering at this new restaurant will be a “Luxe Line” of premium Krystal food products aimed to up the ante of the brand. The forward-thinking rapper made sure to include in his deal the creation of unique NFT artwork, custom-curated in-restaurant music, and limited edition merchandise to be made available in-restaurant and online.
“Getting a chance to grow this brand,” Jonathan Childs, founder and operating partner of Golden Child Holdings, one of the primary investors in the brand says. “[He can] give back to the areas that we’re from, and help direct an iconic brand is a special opportunity. Chainz is talented, he’s unique, he’s involved and he’s real South. I can’t wait to see what our partnership brings.”
In addition to this news, 2 Chainz has a new album soon to drop titled #DOPEDONTSELLITSELF. He is not playing with folk in 2022.
Rap pioneer Roxanne Shanté shares a story about being the first teen mom in Hip-Hop history and doesn’t shy away from several bad decisions she made as a 15-year-old with her first son, Kareem.
On the premiere episode of her “Have A Nice Podcast” series, entitled “Where’s the F##k is the Baby, Roxanne Shanté talks about taking her 17-day old baby on tour and enlisting the late Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, and others to babysit the newborn.
She said, “1986, I’m Roxanne Roxanne. Life is good, but it is complicated because I’m a teen and I just became a teen mom. I became a teen mom ten days after my [15th] birthday.”
After having the baby, she had to perform at a show and she took the baby, despite doctors recommending that the baby not be around people until six weeks. Taking the baby on tour became so common, that the Juice Crew (who were all young guys at the time) became comfortable traveling with and caring for the child.
During that first show, when it was her time to rock the mic during the show she let “The Diabolical” hold the baby. But when it was Biz’ turn …
“When I go on stage, because I had just had this new little human, I had this feeling that I needed to see him,” she recalled. “I felt like I had to have eye contact with whoever was holding him. If I was on stage, Biz is holding him. If I am on stage, then Shan is holding him. If I am on stage then Kool G. Rap is holding him or DJ Polo is holding him.”
“I go on stage and I knew I handed the baby to Biz. So Biz is holding the baby, but then it is my turn to start rhyming with Biz … As I am saying my rhymes, I look at Biz and say ‘Where’s the f##k is the baby?’” she shares.
Biz apparently shrugs his shoulders at her, as to say, “I don’t know.” She shrugs back like, “What do you mean?” The crowd mimics them thinking that this is a part of the routine and a new dance. Biz tells her the baby is with DJ Polo. She looks over and sees Polo with the baby and all is well.
At a certain point, she turns back at Polo and the baby is gone. She says in the mic, during the middle of her set, “Where’s the f##k is the baby?” The audience, jamming to the concert repeats her, “Where’s the f##k is the baby?” They thought it was a chant.
She gets more upset because no one knows where her 17-day-old child is and she repeats in the mic, “Where’s the f##k is the baby?” and the crowd again repeats her like was a part of the show.
The performance had her in an emotional state, and she remembers feeling kind of funny. Biz says to her, “You are sweating from your shirt.” She wasn’t. Whether it was the rush of performing or the worry about her baby, the new mom was lactating and expressing milk in front of an audience.
Eventually, she found the baby in the green room with other members of the Juice crew, G Rap, and Polo.
The “Go On Girl” pioneer also reveals that after a woman told her that all babies could swim, she threw her son in a pool on tour and quickly found out that was true. She and other members of the Juice Crew jumped in the water and saved the baby.
Wonder how Kareem, aka Chuckie, turned out? He is now one of the leads in her production and enterprise.
As the fifth year of Prodigy‘s death approaches, it seems like the estate is preparing a celebration for the late MC.
In June 2017, Albert Johnson a.k.a. Prodigy of Mobb Deep died suddenly. The Hip-Hop world was saddened and continues to mourn over the loss of one of New York’s finest.
Throughout that time, much of Prodigy’s music has been removed from streaming services and other platforms that allow fans easy access to his legacy. However, that may all be changing now and the fans are celebrating.
A new advertisement is in circulation advertises “Book II: The Book of Heroine.” And it appears to be coming soon this year, five years after he passed. By the way, a heroine is a female hero…heroin is a drug.
Under the post, it reads the following:
We’ve been up to something… and now we can finally talk about it The Book Of Heroine, the second chapter in the 3 part series by Prodigy, will be dropping in 2022 Thank you for your Patience, see you soon…
There isn’t a lot more information on it but it seems authentic and real.

Following her $4 million legal victory, Cardi B thanked her lawyers and fans for supporting her during the highly-publicized case. It now appears the Invasion of Privacy album creator wants to meet with a British royal family member.
“I need a chat with [Meghan] Markle,” tweeted Cardi B on Wednesday morning. That Twitter post garnered more than 4,000 retweets and more than 60,000 likes.
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex won her own lawsuit for “misuse of private information” against Associated Newspapers Limited. The London-based company owns the Daily Mail, MailOnline, The Mail on Sunday, and other publications.
A United Kingdom court dismissed an appeal brought by ANL. Markle stated, “While this win is precedent-setting, what matters most is that we are now collectively brave enough to reshape a tabloid industry that conditions people to be cruel, and profits from the lies and pain that they create.”
Tasha K is expected to appeal her loss against Cardi B as well. The controversial blogger posted a 12-minute video response on YouTube where she pushed a conspiracy theory about the court system being part of a “machine” attacking her First Amendment rights.
Prior to filing the lawsuit, Cardi B reportedly sent a cease-and-desist letter to Kebe after the UnWineWithTashaK host repeatedly posted unfounded and inaccurate information about the “Bodak Yellow” rapper online. According to individuals in the courtroom, Tasha K admitted under oath that she knew the defaming stories about Cardi on her show were untrue.
Attorney Sara Matz who represents the rap superstar called blogger and defendant #TashaK as the first witness. Lawyer played a video to jury that showed the blogger calling #CardiB a prostitute but then admitted on direct she had no proof to those statements.
Bombshell testimony: #TashaK also admitted under direct examination that she knew what she reported about #CardiB using drugs, prostitution and her having herpes was probably untrue but she posted the video anyway to make money.
Attorney Matz showed a copy of a cease and desist letter screenshot that #TashaK posted to her IG page where she tells her followers that she would "wipe her ass" with the letter. Lawyer was attempting to show jury they gave the blogger lady a opportunity to remove it.
#CardiB legal team played a audio recording of #TashaK and celebrity blogger #LovelyTi where #TashaK admitted that she believed most of what her co-defendant Starmarie Jones was saying was probably a lie however she felt #CardiB can afford to pay for therapy.
On direct examination by #CardiB attorney Andrew Pequignot, he got #TashaK's husband #CheiknaKebe to admit that his wife lied under oath the previous day. "Is it true your wife lied when she said that there are several business under Kebe Studios? Answer: Yes
#CardiB attorney Sarah Matz asked #TashaK in front of the jury: "Is it a fact that you testified in your deposition that you thought it was funny to say #CardiB had HPV?" Answer: Yes
In another bizarre exchange with #TashaK attorney Sarah Matz her on direct examination "Isn't it true that you lied in your deposition when you provided a date when you put up a video defaming my client? Answer: I made up a date because you were being combative towards me?
