By: Rea Davis @IamReaDavisCategory: Rumors

While Bobbi Kristina remains in an unstable condition in the hospital, one of her family members is trying to make money off her and the situation. SMH! Jerod Brown, Bobby Brown‘s nephew, has asked everyone to support a tribute song he made based off the social media hashtag #PrayforBK. As he sent the song out via social media, he claimed that all proceeds would be going to Martin Luther King Jr’s ‘Be A King’ Foundation. Several people began to comment on the post including those affiliated with the King Family and foundation. Brown then edited his original post and deleted any reference to proceeds going to the King’s organization, but he had already been called out by several. He even got called out by Tricia Harris who works closely with the family. After making one comment on his post stating that the foundation had nothing to do with his effort, Tricia Harris returned to the post later to confirm that the proceeds were definitely not going to any King entity. SMH what has the world come to?

Is Beyonce's Unauthorized Biography Still On The Way?

Allegedly Beyonce’s lawyers have been in litigation to block a book being published about Beyonce by Grand Central Books. The book is an unauthorized biography from author J. Randy Taraborrelli, and it’s supposed to be borderline… juicy tell all.

Some of the details that will be allegedly shared in the book include:

-Details of Beyonce’s early childhood with Matthew Knowles life long cheating
-what really happened between her and Matthew Knowles
-her ups and downs with Kelly Rowland
-all of the Destiny’s Child drama
-the celebrities that Bey dated before Jay Z
-her rocky relationship with Solange over the years
-her weight and self-esteem problems over the years
-details surrounding her miscarriage

This could all be fluff but remember late last year there was an announcement that Beyonce’s unauthorized biography would hit bookstores in 2015. Being that Beyonce wouldn’t be participating in the project, the material would have to be gleaned from interviews with secondary sources. Readers may have to look at the book with some sort of skepticism, but seeing how Bey has tried to tightly control her image over the years, this version could be more true than one she would put out.

Marvin Gaye's Family Is Going After Record Labels And T.I Over 'Blurred Lines'

By: Tanay Hudson (@NYStateOfMind2)Category: News

The Gaye family is continuing to issue out lawsuits to everyone involved in the making of Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” track. They recently won their case against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Willliams for $7.4 million but they are not letting this issue die down.

The family of Marvin Gaye is now going after Universal Music, Interscope Records and Star Trak Entertainment and wants them added to list of copyright infringers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  They also want the judge to hold T.I accountable for his role that he played in the “Blurred Lines” record, eventhough he did not produce it.

If the record labels are found reliable, the judge could issue an injuction on how “Blurred Lines” is distributed in the future.

Williams and Thicke plan to appeal the previous decision. There has also been talk of the Gaye family going after Pharrell again because they feel that his Oscar-nominated hit “Happy” sounds to similar to Marvin Gaye’s 1966 hit “Ain’t That Peculiar.”

Is Black Social Media Causing Iggy Azalea Depression & Affecting Her Tour?

The Australian rapper Iggy Azalea cannot catch a break. She may be mainstream but a lot of Hip-Hop lovers don’t care for her. Some support her while others say she isn’t real Hip-Hop. From funny memes, to negative social media comments Iggy can’t win for losing. Azalea recently quit social media saying the internet was the ugliest reflection of mankind. She has since returned to Instagram but not completely, as there was a post on her page stating that her Instagram would be run by management until further notice, as she was taking a break from social media. As of now Iggy Azalea’s first North American arena tour is also on the verge of cancellation, as the singer is increasingly unresponsive to her management and refuses to engage in promotion according to TheWrap. Allegedly Azalea will not commit to press opportunities crucial in selling the massive tour effort. The potential cancellation was also raising scheduling concerns for up-and-coming R&B singer Tinashe, who was slated as an opening act along with Nick Jonas. Tinashe announced yesterday that she would actually be joining Nicki Minaj on the Pink Print Tour. We know for a fact Black Twitter and Instagram won’t let up on Iggy for sure Lol. From the edited Sway interview video to this one below. Do you think Iggy needs to toughen up?

Sam Cooke's Family Has Approved A Biopic

By: Tanay Hudson (@NYStateOfMind2)Category: News

Five decades after his death, Sam Cooke’s life story is coming to the big screen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cooke’s biopic will not only focus on his life but also give an in-depth look into his murder. Romeo Antonio is set to develop the movie.

“It’s the 60s, you could do it like Selma, but it’s not the direction I’m going with,” Antonio said. “My pitch to them was a murder mystery. Who did this? And it’s being written in that fashion.”

Cooke’s younger brother, L.C Cooke and cousin Eugene Jamison will serve as consultants during  filming and allow access to family documents.

“For years, people have been coming at us to do a movie about Sam. But [Antonio] was the first person who sounded like he wanted what we wanted: the truth to come out about my uncle and his death,” Jamison told THR.

Antonio is still in the beginning stages and has held an interview with Cooke’s former assistant Zelda Samuels and has linked with B.G Rhule who authored his biography One More River to Cross: The Redemption of Sam Cooke.

Cooke was found dead in 1964 at age 33 in a South LA motel room after being shot by the motel manager Bertha Franklin. She faced no charges after his death was deemed a “justifiable homicide” after a witness claimed that Cooke was the aggressor. His family never believed this story and always felt that his death was a conspiracy because Cooke fought for musicians’ rights and often clashed with mob-connected music execs. Cooke is known for hits like “A Change Is Gonna Come,” “Wonderful World” and “Twistin’ The Night Away.”

Karrueche Tran Threw Iyanla Vanzant Out While Taping 'Fix My Life'; Watch Teaser (VIDEO)

By: Tanay Hudson (@NYStateOfMind2)Category: News

Chris Brown’s ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran has been through a lot during their rocky 6-year relationship. From getting into twitter battles with his other ex-bae Rihanna to Breezy once leaving her for Rih, embarrassing her on social media and calling her out at concerts, her heart has taken quite a beating. Now she says she is officially done with the “Autumn Leaves” singer since it was revealed that he has a nine-month-old daughter that he conceived when he cheated on her.

Tran is now seeking help from Iyanla Vanzant and will make an appearance on her OWN show  Fix My Life. 

“He betrayed you,” she told Tran. “He lied to you. He did it all publicly.”

TMZ reports that the conversation got heated at one point and Tran put Vanzant and the OWN crew out of her home. She was told the interview would be positive but when Vanzant hit her with questions about why she would date Brown after his domestic dispute with Rihanna, if she slept with him because he’s famous and challenged her about taking him back after he cheated, Tran was feeling some type of way and threw Vanzant out. She later invited them back in after a few hours.

Watch the preview below.

Chris Brown has already showed us and even let us know on radio interviews that he doesn’t know how to act on social media. He even went as far as to say that he will let people know how he feels even if he deletes it later. Not too long ago Brown and Karrueche got into a social media war, where Brown exposed their threesomes and accused Karrueche of messing with Drake. For the millionth time Karrueche said only one could take so much, but still ended up taking the singer back. After news broke of Brown’s break baby, Karrueche claimed once again that she was done and has been going two weeks strong LOL. Karrueche recently posted the above photo on her Instagram with the caption “I’m president of the itty Bitty Committee.” Brown had to comment on his former boo’s post saying, “Thirst trap 101. continue to be a lady beautiful… U are perfect… Don’t let the Thot form from anger.” Should Karrueche or anyone else take advice from Breezy? LOL.
