R. Kelly Announces Tour Thousands Of Miles Away From America
R. Kelly is facing scrutiny unlike ever before in wake of Lifetime’s Surviving R. Kelly, but the pressure isn’t stop- ping him from making moves in his career. The controver- sial R&B star announced a tour of Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka on Tuesday (February 5) despite his highly publicized trou- bles.
Kelly’s decision to tour overseas is notable since any attempt to do shows in North America would likely bring an intense backlash. The widespread allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct against the disgraced artist have sparked investigations by police and the FBI.
While Kelly’s alleged mis- conduct had been well docu-
R. KELLY
mented for years, he contin- ued to operate in the music industry without repercus- sions until 2019. The per- sonal stories told by Kelly’s accusers in Lifetime’s docu- mentary tipped the scales un- like previous reporting ever had.
Were James Brown And His Wife Murdered?
Bombshell new claims from a raft of James Brown's friends, family and associates suggest that the Godfather of Soul and his third wife Adrienne were both murdered.
At least 13 people close to the legendary singer have de- manded an autopsy on his body, refusing to believe his death at an Atlanta hospital aged 73 in 2006 was due to natural causes.
Brown's official cause of death was listed as a heart at- tack and fluid in the lungs. But even the doctor who signed his death certificate doubts that's what really hap- pened to him.
Dr. Marvin Crawford, who signed Brown's death certificate, told CNN: 'He changed too fast. He was a patient I would never have predicted would have coded. But he died that night, and I did raise that question: What went wrong in that room?'
American superstar James Brown, 'The Godfather of Soul,' poses for photographers with his wife Adrienne in 1991. Friends and family have said they were both murdered.
Following his death one friend, Andre White, was so concerned of suspicious circumstances that he took a vial of the singer's blood from an IV tube.
But when Brown died, his daughter Yamma de-
clined an autopsy. Her sister
Deanna Brown Thomas
would not confirm where her dad's remains are kept.
Among the other concerns raised was the official story of Brown's personal manager Charles Bobbit, who died in 2017 at age 87. He was the only person in the room when Brown died but his story has been described as 'vague'.
Brown's manager Frank Copsidas said: 'The story was always a little vague.' Andre White added: 'It didn't make sense.' And his friend Fannie Brown Bur- ford said: 'Knew he was lying right off.'
Daughter, LaRhonda Pettit and son-in-law Dar- ren Lumar, also both al- leged that Brown was murdered. They both have since died. Lumar was mur- dered a year after making the claims in an as-yet unsolved killing.
50 Cent Insinuates Tekashi 6ix9ine Snitched On 21 Savage
50 Cent is back to his trolling ways — and this time he’s taking aim at someone he previously supported. On Tuesday (February 5), the Power star posted (and promptly deleted) a meme poking fun at Tekashi 6ix9ine, insinuating he snitched on the British-born 21 Savage for not having the proper visa.
“This is real King of New York,” he captioned the meme. “I mean Nikki Barnes shit going on but yall gonna play his music so just chill already. LOL.”
21 Savage sent shock- waves throughout the Hip Hop community on Sunday (February 3) when he was ar- rested by ICE.

It turns out the platinum- selling rapper is allegedly in the United States illegally after overstaying his visa. He’s been placed in “removal proceedings” and is facing deportation.
CeeLo Green Apologizes For Anti-Protest Outburst With Prayer Hands Meme
Goodie Mob MC upset some of his Twitter followers on Sunday (February 3) when he insulted NFL pro- testers in a tweet, which was ostensibly written to support fellow Dungeon Family member Big Boi’s participa- tion in the Super Bowl LIII halftime show.
“.@BigBoi yo big we riding wit you fam DO THAT S*&T!” Green wrote in a since-deleted tweet. “F*$k these so called protesters you just got 100m worth of press. I’ll kill for you. #wedf #DFTODEATH.”
The Gnarls Barkley frontman apologized for his remarks and attempted to clarify his intentions via
CEELO GREEN
Twitter on Monday (Febru- ary 4). Green said his words weren’t meant for everyone protesting the league but simply those objecting to Big Boi’s involvement in the Super Bowl halftime show.
