Solange (Queen B’s Sister) Is New Face Of Michael Kors
Chris Brown Says Pageant Girl Defamed Him
Michael Kors is breaking out the first street style campaign in its history and it is fronted by none other than Solange!
The campaign is called The Walk, and was shot in Man- hattan, including West and Greenwich Villages.
In an exclusive to Billboard, Kors talked about why Solange was such a perfect pick for the campaign, saying, “Solange is strong and pas- sionate and not afraid to share
her opinion with the world — and that type of confidence al- ways makes an impact. She’s a true trendsetter. I love how she takes some of our pieces and makes them her own.”
Solange posted a picture from the campaign on her In- stagram, days before it’s offi- cial reveal.
Google Music Play Names Drake’s ‘One Dance’ Song Of The Summer
Ice Cube Says He Is Not Mourning Death Of NWA’s Former Manager Jerry Heller
Chris Brown continues his declaration of innocence after an hours-long standoff with the police last week. In an interview with Good Morning America, C-Breezy shares some of his story where a for- mer beauty pageant winner ac- cused him of pointing a gun at her and he was arrested for suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
“My character’s been de- faced,” he says... “I’m glad that all my real supporters know me and know the truth and they’ll see the truth.”
Along with Breezy’s cry of defamation, the site also claims to have a text from Brown’s accuser, Baylee Curan, sent to a friend the night of the alleged incident.
“This freak Chris Brown is kicking me out of his house because I called his friend’s jewelry fake,” the text reads. “I’m going to set him up and
call the cops and say that he tried to shoot me. That’ll teach him a lesson. I’m going to set his [expletive] up.”
Curran’s story has been questioned, especially as for- mer roommates have come forward painting her as a ha- bitual liar.
Police reports say that the supposed jewelry was not found and neither was a gun after law enforcement searched Brown’s home for evidence in the case. Surveil- lance footage from the house also does not corroborate any of Curran’s story.
The singer was released on $250,000 bond and has not been charged. He is scheduled for arraignment in two weeks. Brown also claimed defama- tion at the top of the year when a woman accused him of punching her in Las Vegas. That saga resulted in both par- ties suing each other.
Jerry Heller was the manager of N.WA.
CHRIS BROWN
NWA’s former manager Jerry Heller’s death merited mixed emotions from fans of the beloved rap group. Some credit Heller for introducing NWA to the masses, while oth- ers viewed Heller as greedy opportunist who only used the group for his benefit and robbed them out of millions owed.
Either way one slices it, Ice Cube isn’t concerned. During an interview with Detroit’s 107. 5, Cube made it plain he is completely unbothered by the 76-year-old’s passing.
“I didn’t have no emotions,” Cube said.
Heller suffered a heart at- tack while driving, which re- sulted in a car accident on Sept. 2. After Heller’s death, his lawyer blamed the 2015 block- buster film Straight Outta Compton as the cause of his death.
Heller didn’t like the film’s depiction of him as a unsavory manager, and claims he never shorted the group out of royalty money.
However, Cube and Dr. Dre for years have been vocal about Heller’s shady business practices and claim the film’s portrayal of him was accurate.
