According to TMZ, Adams is suing Brown and his bodyguard Christopher Hollosy for allegedly breaking his nose. The suit is asking for $1 million from each for the injuries he sustained and another $500,000 each for punitive damages.

Adams claims that after attempting to take a picture with Brown, the “Fine China” performer told him “I ain’t down with that gay s***” and then attacked him.

There have been varying accounts about the incident. A secret service agent at the scene backed up Brown’s story that he never hit Adams.

A criminal case is currently pending. Brown turned down a plea deal from the prosecution in January.

Kanye West: “I Am Humbly Top 5 Of All Time: Dead Or Alive!”

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West continues to make headlines for his rants at various concert spots and now the rapper has proclaimed himself “top 5 of all time.”

West made the proclamation at the Albany, NY stop on his Yeezus Tour shouting, “I am humbly top 5 of all time: dead or alive. Let me humbly show you what I’m talking about.”

Then the rapper explained his case, revealing others that are seemingly on the same level.

“When I say genius, why is that offensive? Like I hurt somebody… Rap is all geniuses. When you go to school don’t they talk about poets, like they geniuses? What y’all witnessing; Wayne, Eminem, Drake, Jay Z, right now in front of you, doing genius work. But because we’ve got gold chains and we’ve got gold teeth they don’t wanna think we’re geniuses.”

See the clip from the February 19th show below:

Jay Z Signs New York Giants’ Hakeem Nicks To Roc Nation Sports

By: Keith Nelson Jr (@JusAire)Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop News) Jay Z is slowly beginning to own the entire New York Giants roster. Less than a year after teammate Victor Cruz signs to Jay Z’s sports agency Roc Nation Sports, veteran wide receiver Hakeem Nicks joins suit.

According to reports, Nicks will have a similar deal as Cruz with Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports handling marketing and endorsement with contractual negotiations left up to its partner Creative Artists Agency. This signing comes at a potentially transitional time for Nicks as he is expected to become an unrestricted free agent and has expressed interest to resign with the New York Giants.

Baseball superstar Robinson Cano was the first Roc Nation Sports client to enter free agency as a member of the New York Yankees last year. Cano and Roc Nation Sports rejected the New York Yankees’ reported offer of seven years/$175 million and accepted the Seattle Mariners 10 year/$240 million offer.
