Kodak Black’s Lawyer Slams Post Malone Lawsuit

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

Kodak Black’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, is tired of attorneys getting a bad name, although he acknowledges that some lawyers are dirtbags.

On Tuesday (September 19), Cohen took to Instagram to post a headline from Radar Online that read, “Post Malone Accused of ‘Physical Abuse’ of Ex-Girlfriend Ashlen, Lawyer Claims to Have Photographic Evidence to Prove Allegations.”

The story in question claimed Martorell Law was suing the chart-topper for an assault perpetrated against his former lover. In the legal case, the firm asserted that Malone had persuaded Diaz to terminate their legal representation and negotiate on her own a confidential agreement directly with him. The lawyers seem to think that the pop star hit his ex with $350,000 as a settlement for her claims. Thus, they’ve leveled a campaign to get something from the case.

Cohen is disgusted by this tactic. As he wrote in the caption, “This is an example of in my opinion, what disgusting lawyers do and what gives lawyers a bad name. This firm, Martorell Law, at one time, represented Posts ex GF seeking a palimony settlement.

“She fired them and settled privately with Post. She then requested the Judge to dismiss the case. These guys now sue and say they have texts and pictures to show abuse. I would imagine given to them by their ex client.”

Cohen blasted them for wanting “to get paid for the ‘work’ they did” and for expecting the Grammy Award winner to “be responsible for their contingency fee.”

“This lawsuit is idiotic, in my opinion, breaches several legal fiduciary duties and is something that gives attys reputations of being jerks,” he concluded. “Nasty move and a nasty way to try and get 100k in fees. Weak lawyering weak case and weak move.”

Martorell Law hasn’t responded to the call-out.

Mark Wahlberg Says His Former Record Label Wanted Him To Be Like Eminem

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

Mark Wahlberg is widely known as a blockbuster actor but before movies such as Transformers, TED 2 and Patriots Day, Wahlberg was a rapper with Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch. As the Hip-Hop 50 celebrations continue, the Boston native talked a little about his career as Marky Mark.

“I think I could have been a lot more successful had I been allowed to do what I wanted to do,” he said according to TheThings.com. “I think the record company had one specific idea, and they wanted to go for that.”

At the time, Wahlberg had just gotten out of jail and his older brother Donnie was in the chart-topping group New Kids On The Block.

“I wanted to make a record,” he said. “I saw my brother making millions of dollars and I’m still struggling, so I kind of compromised a little bit.”

Things were good for him for awhile. Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch went No. 1 on Billboard with their hit song “Good Vibrations” in 1991.

“They continued to push me further in the opposite direction, that’s when I decided not to make another record and to wait out my contract.”

He also felt as though people tried aligning him with other white rappers, but he was on a different path.

“Could I have been Eminem?” he said. “I certainly hope not. I like Eminem, I think Eminem’s really talented, but I’m trying to go a completely different route.”

But the label wanted him to attack people and say crazy things about people in his family, similar to the way Eminem did addressing his mom and child’s mother—he wasn’t into it.

“No, no. I love my mother, man,” he said. “Are you crazy? No, I can’t be a bad influence on anybody. But I think there’s a lot more to what he does than that. There’s certainly a shock value that’s kind of gotten him to a certain place, but the guy’s got a lot of talent.”

As someone who really grew up in tough circumstances, he didn’t want his music to reflect any of that.

“It’s just, you know, I came from the real thing and I was trying desperately to get away from that,” he said. “I’m trying to work as hard as possible to be the best person I can be, to everybody.”

Lizzo accepted the Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award on Thursday amid her current lawsuit controversy.

The musician was recognised at the Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC) gala in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Lizzo skipped the red carpet portion of the event, however, she took to the stage at The Beverly Hilton after an introduction by her Big Grrrl dancers.

“Black Music Action Coalition, y’all really are about that action. Thank you so much for this, because I needed this right now,” the Juice singer told the audience. “God’s timing is always on time! I didn’t write a speech because I don’t know what to say in times like these.”

She continued, “It’s easy to do the right thing when everybody’s watching you, and it’s what you do in those moments when nobody’s watching that defines who you are. And I’m going to continue to be who I am, no matter who’s watching. I’m going to continue to shine a light on the people who are helping people, because they deserve it. I’m going to continue to amplify the voices of marginalized people because I have a microphone and I know how to use it.”

The pop singer added, “And, I’m going to continue to put on and represent safe spaces for fat Black women, because that’s what the f**k I do!”

The evening also paid tribute to other trailblazers, including legendary music executive Sylvia Rhone, Keke Palmer, producer Jermaine Dupri and Houston Hip-Hop legend, Trae the Truth.

Rising rap star Lola Brooke is back with a brand new track. The Brooklynite recruited R&B singer Bryson Tiller for “You” which includes a reinterpreted sample from a song by another NYC-bred female rapper.

Lola Brooke’s “You” borrows from “Get Me Home” by Brooklyn’s Foxy Brown. That collaboration with the R&B group Blackstreet came out on Brown’s 1996 debut studio album, Ill Na Na.

Khris Riddick-Tynes and LilJuMadeDaBeat produced “You” for Brooke. An official music video for the record also arrived on YouTube this week. New Orleans rapper Rob49 makes a cameo in the visuals.

“You” follows other Lola Brooke singles such as “Just Relax” and “Don’t Play with It” featuring Billy B. The Recording Industry Association of America certified “Don’t Play with It” as Gold in July 2023.

Since gaining more widespread attention thanks to going viral on TikTok, Lola Brooke has connected with other recording artists. She has collaborated with Latto, Yung Miami, Flo Milli, Ciara, NLE Choppa, Coi Leray and more.

Brooke earned a Best New Artist nomination at the 2023 BET Awards. The Arista Records-backed rhymer is also up for Best Breakthrough Hip-Hop Artist at the upcoming 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards which air on Tuesday, October 10.

Tauheed K. Epps is best known for releasing music as the Atlanta-bred Hip-Hop artist known as 2 Chainz. However, the former Playaz Circle member has tried his hand as an actor during his entertainment career as well.

For example, 2 Chainz made a guest appearance on a 2013 episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. He also played a character in the 2022 action thriller The Enforcer which starred Antonio Banderas and Kate Bosworth.

2 Chainz will take on a role in the upcoming third season of the television crime drama BMF. The “Feds Watching” rapper joins a cast that includes Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr., Da’Vinchi, Myles Truitt, Steve Harris and La La Anthony.

“My character’s name is Stacks. I’m looking forward to seeing it. It was a change for me. I studied for it, I took it very seriously,” said 2 Chainz in a recent interview with The Source. “Shout out to Meech, both of them actually.”

He continued, “But Lil Meech helped me get through some patches, really rehearsed with me and practiced before I got on. Shout out to his acting coach, who lent a hand too. I can’t wait, I can’t wait until it comes out.”

Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. portrays his own father, convicted drug kingpin Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, on BMF. Hip-Hop mogul Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson serves as an executive producer for Starz’s show about the Black Mafia Family crime organization.

2 Chainz called 50 Cent “very intelligent, intellectual.” The two rappers previously joined forces for songs such as “Riot (Remix),” “Petty” and “Get Low.” Season 3 of BMF will debut on Friday, March 1, 2024. The program will also feature a debuting Shaffer “Ne-Yo” Smith.

Ermias “Nipsey Hussle” Asghedom rose to prominence as a California-based Hip-Hop artist. Unfortunately, a gunman killed the 33-year-old entrepreneur/activist as his star was rising even higher.

The Tubi streaming service explored the murder of Nipsey Hussle in a one-hour episode of the new Behind the Crime limited series. NewsNation host Dan Abrams served as an executive producer for the program.

“Dan Abrams and his Law&Crime team bring their singular expertise to this series which builds upon our deep catalog of true crime and unscripted content currently available on the platform,” said Adam Lewinson, Tubi’s Chief Content Officer.

Behind the Crime: the Nipsey Hussle Murder features footage from the Marathon Clothing store where Asghedom was shot multiple times. The program also covers the trial of convicted murderer Eric Ronald Holder Jr.

In addition to Behind the Crime: the Nipsey Hussle Murder, Tubi also serves as the digital home of other original programming such as Fresh Meat: Jeffrey Dahmer, Killing Diana and TMZ Presents: Megan vs. Tory: What REALLY Went Down.

Before his passing, Nipsey Hussle garnered national attention for mixtapes such as 2010’s The Marathon and 2013’s Crenshaw. He earned a Best Rap Album nomination at the 61st Grammy Awards for 2018’s Victory Lap. He later won two posthumous Grammys.

Earlier this year, several former backup dancers for Lizzo sued the Grammy winner for discrimination and creating a hostile work environment. News of another lawsuit against the “Truth Hurts” hitmaker broke this week.

According to reports, fashion designer Asha Daniels filed the suit against Lizzo and other defendants in Los Angeles County. Daniels accused the singer of racial discrimination, failure to prevent a hostile work environment and other issues.

Lizzo’s team has pushed back against the latest accusations against the Special album creator. TMZ got a quote from the Atlantic Records artist’s spokesperson, Stefan Friedman, who downplays Asha Daniels’ complaints.

“As Lizzo receives a Humanitarian Award tonight from the Black Music Action Coalition for the incredible charitable work she has done to lift up all people, an ambulance-chasing lawyer tries to sully this honor by recruiting someone to file a bogus, absurd publicity-stunt lawsuit who, wait for it, never actually met or even spoke with Lizzo,” Stefan Friedman stated.

Lizzo’s representative also added, “We will pay this as much attention as it deserves. None.” The Black Music Action Coalition presented the 35-year-old vocalist/flutist with the special honor at the BMAC Gala which took place at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on September 21.

Doja Cat Responds To “Scarlet” Album Artwork Criticism: “I Don’t Care Anymore About Satisfying You” 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Doja Cat released her Scarlet album on Friday (September 21) following a rollout in which she was blasted for the demonic imagery. The 17-track featureless project includes her first No. 1, “Paint the Town Red.” The song was an instant hit and became the first rap cut to hold the top spot in 2023.  

Doja Cat fans are raving about Scarlet, with many calling it her magnum opus. Others want Doja to win another Grammy. A glance at Twitter shows early fan favorites are “F##k The Girls and “Wet V#####.” “Agora Hills” is another apparent standout with fans loving the newly released visuals.

Of course, not everybody is a fan of the unique album artwork, with one fan blasting the “ugly ass ticks” on the cover.  

Doja Cat defended her artistic decision and explained the significance of the Scarlet cover, her first with any meaning.  

“The art I chose for my album is beautiful and I like it a lot,” she replied. “The two spiders signify conquering your fear. None of my album covers had meaning until this album. You not accepting me was a fear I used to have. I don’t care anymore about satisfying you.” 

The rapper/singer also addressed the recent social media scandal that resulted in her losing more than one million Instagram followers after telling her fans she doesn’t love them.  

She hosted a listening experience Friday evening where her fans gathered outside a store window to watch the star literally paint the store red.  

Doja Cat wrote out “I love you” in the window in red paint with a heart replacing “love” before splashing it with paint to distort the words. She then added, “THANK YOU” in large letters showing her gratitude for her supporters. Watch Doja Cat painting the town red and check out some of the reactions to Scarlet below.

Halle Bailey and her boyfriend DDG have been the talk of social media amid the recent pregnancy rumors, but sister Chloe says she loves them together.  

Earlier this week, the “Moonwalking in Calabasas” rapper was forced to respond to claims that his The Little Mermaid actor girlfriend, who called him her “first deep, deep, real love,” is too good for him.  

“And all them females [talking] bout my girl can ‘do better’ f### broke n##### wit no ambition,” DDG penned on September 18. “Ya ain’t never been to Chanel & can pick out whatever & how many bags ya want.” 

Although he has since deleted the tweet, Halle’s big sister came to her defense in an Instagram Live Thursday evening. The “Pray It Away” songstress gushed over the couple after her Halle came to see her perform overseas.  

“Let me tell you something. I am just so happy. Halle and Darryl are so happy,” Chloe declared, referring to DDG by his birth name.  

While Chloe neither confirmed nor denied the speculation that Halle and DDG are expecting a child together, she did address the backlash over their relationship. 

“He’s been so sweet and everything,” she continued. “I f### with them, I don’t care what nobody says. Y’all don’t see behind the scenes. Like I love them, I really do.” 

Earlier in the evening, Halle became overcome with emotion after watching Chloe perform live in London. She shared a clip on her Instagram Story of them hugging backstage after the show. 

“I couldn’t stop myself from bawling my eyes out,” Halle penned on the video. Check out the heartwarming exchange between the sisters below.

Blueface’s mom blasted Chrisean Rock over a recent video of the reality TV starlet shopping at Walmart with her newborn son in a baby carrier. 

The video surfaced on Thursday (September 21) after a fan secretly recorded Chrisean in the store. However, social media users shared their concerns that little Chrisean Rock Jr. was not supported in his baby carrier and was hanging from the device.

The video made its way to Blueface’s mom, who berated the new mother over her parenting. While she initially expressed concern over the baby’s safety and comfort, she seemed to be more upset that Chrisean Rock was shopping at Walmart.  

“Got my baby in the g###### grocery store with the g###### s### folded over like he doing a backbend like he in the g###### gymnastics already,” she began. 

She then went on a rant about her children’s respective partners, sharing her disdain for them all.  

“Y’all over her just letting ‘em walk around Walmart. Who the f### is walking around Walmart? You send somebody to Walmart, you don’t walk around Walmart,” she insisted. 

According to Mama Blueface, nobody would have secretly filmed Chrisean and her baby if she had shopped in another store. She even went as far as to say a Target shopper would have demonstrated how to use the baby carrier properly.  

“No, you in there where the muthafuckas pulling out the g###### phones to destroy your image and your whole life,” she said before continuing to disparage her for shopping at Walmart.  

“It’s different sets of people. Why you going over there f###### with them people?” Check out the video below.

She added, “I’m trying. It’s so hard.” Watch the clip below.

The video continues with Drake touring through the grounds on a golf cart, surveying his new land and animals, including the many horses that come with the place.  

“Yeah buddy! Yeah buddy mane,” he continued in his country accent before joking that people will have to come up with some new memes for him now.

DJ Vlad Goes Off On Nicki Minaj, But Is He Right Or Wrong?

DJ Vlad is known for a lot of things, but is he now the voice of reason? In the world of social media, you do not see too many people talking badly about a celebrity as big-time as Nicki Minaj. But that is precisely what Vlad did. Here is the context. Nicki’s spouse, Kenneth “Zoo” Petty, threatened Offset. And that resulted in a lengthy stay on house arrest. It did not stop there, but I will pause and let you see what Vlad said about the situation. We’ll resume after that.

Nicki Mina’s husband is on house arrest for threatening Offset. Right after that, she previews a song on IG saying she got killers who will pull up and do what she say. This was the same Nicki who threatened to send her husband to Akademiks’ house for his comments about her. This is the same Nicki who told Meek Mill to have his crew beat up Quentin Miller, which then happened. Have you ever heard a woman scream, “my man will f### you up!” over something she started herself? That’s Nicki. If you want to see how these stories end, check out my interview with Travis Rudolph. After an argument with his girlfriend, she sent her brother and 3 other guys to shoot up his house. One of them ended up dead, another one got shot. Travis was charged with murder – which he luckily beat in trial due to self-defense. To all the men out there, I don’t care how fat her ass is or how good the sex is. Avoid women like Nicki
who use men as crash dummies like the plague.I said what I said.

DJ Vlad

He has Nicki sounding like a maniacal criminal mastermind! What do you think? Well, there is more.

Nicki released a new rap song that seems to be in full support of her man AND even APPEARS to double down on doing whatever she needed to “get down” in these streets. Is she just rapping or incriminating herself? The comments on various social platforms suggest she is. By the way, those comments also talk back to DJ Vlad, saying he is in no position to be critical of her. This is all chaotic!

Adidas CEO’s Defense Of Kanye Forces Brand To Clarify Stance On Antisemitism

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Adidas found itself doing damage control after its CEO downplayed Kanye West’s antisemitism on a podcast. The company insisted it made the right call to cut ties with Ye and confirmed CEO Bjorn Gulden spoke with the Anti-Defamation League on Thursday (September 21).

“Our decision to end our partnership with Ye because of his unacceptable comments and behavior was absolutely the right one,” Adidas told the Associated Press. “Our stance has not changed: Hate of any kind has no place in sports or society, and we remain committed to fighting it.”

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said he spoke with Gulden in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). Greenblatt described Gulden’s defense of Kanye as a “misstatement.”

“Good to speak with @Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden this morning,” Greenblatt wrote. “Bjorn apologized for his misstatement & reiterated that Adidas is committed to fighting #antisemitism & is completely opposed to the ugly hate expressed by @kanyewest. Glad Adidas, @ADL & @FCASorg are working together to #FightHateForGood.”

Gulden defended Kanye on an episode of the In Good Company podcast. The Adidas CEO claimed he didn’t think Kanye “meant what he said” in regard to the controversial rapper’s antisemitic rants.

“I don’t think he’s a bad person,” Gulden said. “It just came across that way.”

Adidas ended its partnership with Kanye in 2022. The company said his comments violated its “values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”

50 Cent Issues Warning After Ex-Employee Pleads Guilty To Fraud Scheme

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

50 Cent blamed Jim Beam’s parent company for getting him involved with Mitchell Green, an ex-employee who embezzled more than $2 million from the rapper’s Sire Spirits. The G-Unit boss warned alcohol giant Beam Suntory days after Green pleaded guilty to wire fraud.

“Beam Suntory got me into this mess with these people,” 50 Cent wrote. “They are not going to like the outcome.”

50 Cent accused Michael Caruso and Julious Grant – two people allegedly acting on Beam Suntory’s behalf – of orchestrating an embezzlement scheme. Caruso and Grant were meant to help Sire Spirits expand in the alcohol industry. They connected 50 Cent’s company with Green, who scammed Sire Spirits by secretly negotiating deals to receive kickbacks from French champagne and cognac distilleries.

“Though he was supposed to negotiate the best deal possible for his employer, Green set up secret side deals to inflate what his employer paid so that he could reap millions of dollars in kickbacks,” U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger said. “Companies must be able to rely on the integrity of their agents to conduct business. When employees violate that trust and engage in fraud — like the defendant did here — this Office and our law enforcement partners are prepared to hold them accountable.”

Green faces up to 20 years in prison for wire fraud. He is scheduled to be sentenced on January 23, 2024.

Earlier this year, Green filed for bankruptcy. He owed more than $6 million to 50 Cent’s Sire Spirits. A judge ruled Green must pay the debt despite filing for bankruptcy.

Connecticut Rapper Caught Lying About Knowing Murder Suspect Once Feds Found Their Rap Video

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

A 22-year-old Bridgeport, Connecticut man could receive a maximum five-year prison sentence for lying about knowing a murder suspect during grand jury proceedings. According to the Hartford Courant, authorities discovered Tae’ron Womack not only knew the man but also starred in a rap video together.

Womack testified before a grand jury on July 20, 2020 in connection to the 2020 shooting death of Myreke Kenion. Authorities found the video featuring both individuals and, as a result, Womack was charged with a crime.

Womack ultimately pleaded guilty in federal court and is set to be sentenced on December 12 for making a false statement before the grand jury.

https://x.com/bptpolice/status/1703816418607653173?s=20

Federal officials, the FBI, ATF, DEA, U.S. Marshals Service and Bridgeport Police Department had been investigating multiple Bridgeport-based gangs “whose members are involved in narcotics trafficking, murder, and other acts of violence,” around the time of the shooting.

While testifying, the feds showed Womack a picture of a man named Jaheim Warren, who they believed killed Kenion, and asked him, “Have you seen this person before?” and he said, “No.”

He was then pressed, “You don’t recognize this person at all?” to which he replied, “Probably like seen him around but like overall, I don’t know him.”

Once the feds found the video, he was arrested, although he’s been free on a $25,000 bond for the past three years as he awaits sentencing.

2 Chainz Says “ColleGrove” Sequel With Lil Wayne “COLLEGROVE 2” Will Arrive Before End Of 2023

2 Chainz says his official full-length studio album with Lil Wayne, COLLEGROVE 2, will arrive before the end of the year. As he recently told ABC News, “We have two videos shot, photoshoot shot, (the) album’s mixed and getting mastered, so it’ll be coming sooner than later, and I’m really excited about it. It’s rapping at a high level — steel sharpens steel. And he’s one of the people that I enjoy working with the most.”

In addition to Tunechi, the album will also include Benny The Butcher and Usher. Regardless of the other special guests, it is primarily a Weezy and 2 Chainz affair.

“We worked together on every song and we over-recorded,” he said. “But he kind of laid that responsibility in my lap. He’s creative. He’s coming up with concepts and ideas. And then, I’m someone that does the same thing on the marketing side, putting together the right set of songs that fit the particular concept I’m trying to convey.”

He continued, “I think we work well in that extent to where he trusts my opinion and how I’m handling everything. And he’s going to bring the A-game to work every day.”

2 Chainz has been teasing the sequel to 2016’s ColleGrove since 2020 and as recently as 2022. Lil Wayne appeared on eight of the original 12 joints— a compromise they had to make because of his contract with his label.

A man has avoided prosecution for allegedly stabbing Blueface. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office dismissed the case earlier this week after the 26-year-old rapper refused to cooperate with police, per the Los Angeles Times.

Blueface, whose real name is Johnathan Porter, was stabbed at a boxing gym in August. His alleged attacker was charged with felony assault. According to the district attorney’s office, Blueface didn’t answer any questions at the scene of the stabbing. He rejected medical treatment and failed to provide identification.

Deputy District Attorney Paula Selesnick said the boxing gym owner “was also uncooperative.” Although much of the incident was captured by a security camera, the stabbing was obscured in the video.

Blueface posted footage of the incident on social media. He said the stabbing would prevent him from competing in a celebrity boxing match scheduled for October. The West Coast artist claimed he didn’t know his attacker. Blueface insisted he was fine despite getting stabbed in the leg.

“It was just a leg shot, guys,” he said in an Instagram Stories post. “I’m OK. Y’all don’t gotta blow up my phone or nothing.”

A few weeks after the stabbing, Chrisean Rock gave birth to her first child with Blueface. The baby’s arrival seemingly helped the on-again, off-again couple get back on good terms.

Lizzo Hit With Another Lawsuit Alleging Discrimination & Sexual Harassment

Several bombshell lawsuits allege Lizzo, who often talks about empowerment and body shaming, is the meanie she criticizes. One of the cases reportedly alleges she surrounds herself with workers like the ones she often puts on blast.

Fashion designer Asha Daniels filed the complaint against the star, a member of her team wardrobe manager Amanda Nomura, her production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc., and her tour manager, Carlina Gugliotta on Thursday (September 21) in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The claim alleges sexual harassment, racial discrimination, failure to prevent a hostile work environment and more.

When Daniels spoke to NBC News, she shared what it was like working for the “Special” chart-topper.

“I felt like I was living in a madhouse,” she said. “It was totally shocking. I was listening to this Black woman on this huge stage have this message of self-love and caring for others and being empathetic and being strong and standing up for others and I was witnessing myself, the dancers and the background vocalists and my local team in every city be harassed and bullied regularly.”

According to the lawsuit, Nomura called Black female dancers “fat,” “useless” and “dumb” and made them change in front of men who would “lewdly gawk” at their bodies. When Daniels spoke up about it, she said in her lawsuit she was terminated.

Even though Nomura works for Lizzo and the singer isn’t being accused of firing Daniels, she is mentioned in the lawsuit.

“Lizzo is the boss, so the buck stops with her,” Daniels’ lawyer Ron Zambrano said. Zambrano is also the lawyer for three former dancers currently suing Lizzo for sexual harassment and a hostile work environment.

The Tinashe & Chris Brown Spat Isn’t As Bad As We Were Led To Believe

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

R&B star Tinashe appears to be taking the high road in her recent pseudo-feud with bad boy Chris Brown. The whole thing started when Tinashe dropped some unsavory bars about her experience collaborating with the likes of Brown and R. Kelly in a recent interview. For reference, in 2015 Tinashe collaborated with R. Kelly for his album The Buffet via the track “Let’s Be Real.” She also joined forces with Brown for her own single “Player.”

While R. Kelly is currently serving time in prison on a litany of sexual assault charges, Brown has also been embroiled in cases of alleged abuse and misogyny against women. Tinashe said, in part, that those issues were some of the factors that made her embarrassed to have even worked with them in the first place.

“You think I wanted to [collaborate] Tinashe said while scoffing. “I literally block out that R. Kelly song from my mind. I forget that that [song] exists. That’s so embarrassing. That is so unreal that I have a song with R. Kelly.”

Tinashe then went on to explain that “when it comes to singles, for example, that song with Chris was a song that we all wanted it to be this big moment… So I feel like in [the label’s] mind, they were like ‘You need the support.’ And [Chris] was like their biggest artist that they had on rhythmic radio at the time.”

Well, Brown didn’t seem to take it too lightly to comment and even challenged fans to “name five Tinashe songs” in the comments of an Instagram post featuring a video clip of the interview. However, Tinashe seems to think there may be a chance at reconciliation, considering she feels the entire thing was a misunderstanding in the first place.

“I think he probably didn’t actually watch the full video, but you know, it is what it is it’s all fine, it’s all good,” she said of the incident in an interview with TMZ.

Even though she went on to say she’s currently “focused on the future” she did however seemingly oblige to making amends with Chris Brown when asked if she would be willing to do so. “I would talk to him, if he wants to reach out,” she said before adding, “It’s all love—we’re trying to move on to bigger things.”

Even though Tinashe is clearly in the headspace of moving forward with her new project BB/ANG3L, we can all still dream of her and Brown performing “Clarity” together and giving us a glimpse of R&B excellence just one more time, right?
