Chris Brown Went There!: Selling ‘This B!tch Lyin’ T-Shirts
Chris Brown models his newest clothing wear sparked by Baylee Curran falsely accusing Brown of pointing a gun at her leading to his arrest.
Lil Wayne’s Prison Memoir Recalls How Drake Devastated Him At Rikers
Capitalizing off the Baylee Curran drama, Chris Brown has taken his pain and turned it into a monetary opportunity by selling T-shirts printed with “THIS B!TCH LYIN'” on the front and a pop-art print of a blonde-haired girl crying on the back.
The first batch of the tees, up for sale on Chris’ Black Pyra- mid Clothing retail site for $38 a pop, sold out within minutes, but fans can still be pre-order future shipments.
Earlier this month, Baylee made allegations that the 27- year-old R&B singer pulled out a gun and threatened her for “admiring” a piece of jewelry. After being kicked out of Brown’s Tarzana home, the former beauty pageant winner called the police and told them that he had threatened her so the whole Los Angeles Police Department SWAT team came out to his mansion and took him to jail.
Chris was quickly released on a $250k bail. Ironically, Curran has a history of steal- ing, lying and filing wrongful police reports on old friends and past roommates.

Breezy Denied Entry Into Japan Because Of
Allegation Curran’s accusation has
cost Brown concert dates. He has been denied entry to Japan over allegations that he pulled a gun on an ex-beauty queen last month, according to a re- port.
Japanese authorities refused to issue a work visa to the R&B singer — who planned to travel east for two Tokyo gigs on Monday and Tuesday — be- cause of his assault with a deadly weapon charge accord- ing to reports last Thursday.
Details from Gone 'Til No- vember: A Journal of Rikers Island, Lil Wayne's memoir documenting his life in the New York prison, are starting to emerge in the weeks leading up to its release — and they're pretty juicy.
The book — which hits shelves on October 11 — fol- lows the eight months Weezy spent in Rikers for gun charges filed after his 2007 ar- rest.The New York Post re- ports that the memoir has its share of epiphanies ("I always thought I needed things like ... a Bugatti, a dope-ass crib or some big-booty b--ches to be creative. But once it was taken away from me, my creativity was put to the ultimate test"), but it also offers up some vivid scenes from his cell block and unpleasant surprises involving some very famous friends like Drake.
Wayne stayed busy at Rik- ers: He officiated the wedding
of two of his fellow inmates and helped decorate for the festivities, hanging toilet paper decorations and toast- ing the happy couple with Gatorade — which Lil Wayne dubbed highly covetable as "liquid gold in this bitch" in lieu of champagne. As for his own romance at Rikers, he writes that two female officers were suspended for "visiting" him, and that a panty-less girl- friend — who'd gone to Rikers
commando at Wayne's re- quest to "do a Basic Instinct" — was forced to put on boxers when she was searched upon entry.
He name-checks the buds who came to visit, including Diddy, Kanye, and Drake. The visit with October's Very Own heartbreaker wasn't so great, though, as Drake copped to sleeping with Wayne's girlfriend while he was stuck on the inside, and writes that it's the "worst thing" he could've found out: "Drizzy came to see me, he was like, ‘Yeah, it’s true’. Damn! This is the type of shit a man never wants to find out while he is locked up.”
It's safe to assume that Wayne's long since forgotten Drake's betrayal given his re- cent appearance on the Sum- mer Sixteen tour and hints at a collaboration between the two in the wake of his Cash Money drama.
Nelly Shuts Down Engagement Rumors
In the WTF moment of the day, Lil Wayne unleashes the full version of “No Mercy,” the theme song to Fox Sports 1’s Undisputed show. The head- scratching part of this is that Weezy put the song out through Cash Money Records.
Tunechi’s chaotic relation- ship with Cash Money and Birdman is well-documented. Most recently, he confirmed that he will never work with Stunna ever again. Ironically, Wayne divulged that piece of info during an interview on Undisputed with Skip Bay- less and Shannon Sharpe.
At one point, not too long ago, it seemed like Lil Wayne and Birdman had settled their differences and were on the road to reuniting. But it re- cent weeks, we’ve learned that the rift is still alive and well. Wayne is now claiming Baby spent $70 million of the $100 million advance they were sup- posed to share for the Young Money label.
And now, J. Prince has Wayne’s back. The Houston- based, music industry veteran recently told TMZ, “Where
Lil Wayne Releases 'No Mercy' Song Through Cash Money
The rumor mill was abuzz after a picture started floating around that looks like Nelly is proposing to his girlfriend Shantel Jackson. Well, you can put your Lipton Brisk back in the refrigerator, because the St. Louis rapper has come out to shut down the assumptions.
In a picture released on so- cial media, it appears as if Nelly is giving Jackson something. Something that has her very delighted by the look on her face. We can’t tell what she is looking at because the rapper’s body is obstructing the view. The picture also has a heart around it. So people put the clues together and assumed the Nellyville MC was propos- ing. Not so fast my friends.
After apparently being bom- barded with congratulations, Nelly took to Instagram to set the record straight. “Not yet y’all give us alil mo time..... P.S........But we working on it..!!!!,” he commented on a pic- ture with them together.
Nelly and Shantel Jackson
So it looks like people will have to wait a while longer be- fore Nelly and Jackson are hearing wedding bells.
Right now the St. Lunatic is dealing with a money issue after he was hit with a $2.4 mil- lion tax lien last month. The diamond-selling artist is re- portedly trying to right situa- tion with the IRS who has resorted in taking the rapper’s tour money
[Wayne] is weak, I am strong. He has gained an ally, and to- gether we will get back all money owed to him and my son off the Drake albums.” J. Prince’s son, Jas, is widely credited for discovering Drake and connecting him with Wayne and Young Money. J Prince adds, “I wit- nessed the hard work that went
into Drake’s career and for Cash Money to try and take something that isn’t theirs to take, does not sit well with me and family around the world.”
So, why is Wayne suddenly releasing “No Mercy” through Cash Money? Has this track and its manner of release been in the works for a long time now?
