Prince May Have Been Dead For Hours Before Being Found
PRINCE
Prince appeared to have been dead for at least six hours when his body was discovered in his elevator last month, sources have told a Minnesota newspa- per.
The grim detail emerged as state and federal investigators continue to probe the cause and circumstances of the artist’s death, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.
Prince was found in the ele- vator by his longtime drummer and his assistant. A responding paramedic told Prince’s staffers and law-enforcement officers at the artist’s residential and music compound in Paisley Park that he appeared to have been dead for six hours or more, the newspaper noted.
The painkiller Percocet was present in Prince’s body and pills were also found at the resi- dence, sources with knowledge of the investigation have told the Star Tribune.

‘Summer Sixteen’ Concert
Attacked During Chris Brown Event
Drake and Future have added some new dates to their “Summer Sixteen” tour.
Sensing that their already 31-city tour wasn’t enough, Drizzy and Future Hendrix have announced that they are adding more dates to one of the hottest tickets this sum- mer. The tour was originally set to end in September, but now the “summer” tour has extended into October.
The duo was recently nomi- nated for a BET Award as Best

Group of the Year for releasing the joint project What A Time To Be Alive.
Drake and Future’s tour will hit Tampa on August 27th.
Allegedly, Chris Brown had a photographer named Mychal Watts beaten up at a party the rapper was hosting in Florida. The incident took place last week in Fort Laud- erdale aboard a boat during the launch party for WizPak. Now the photographer has filed a report with the police.
Brown allegedly became enraged when Watts, who was hired to cover the event, took pictures of him and other stars on the yacht. The shut- terbug claims Brown flipped out and cursed at him before asking his security to pummel the photographer.
This is the photo photogra- pher Mychal Watts says caused Chris Brown to go beserk over.
For his part, Watts says he was simply taking a picture of Brown, R&B singer Tank, and former NFL star Warren Sapp.
Brown denies he asked his people to rough up Watts.
Drake Tops BET Awards
Snoop Not Too Busy To Unite Rival Rappers For New Movement
Nominations With 9; Beyonce’
Snoop Dogg is certainly doing his best to help the com- munity as of late.
Currently, the rapper is tak- ing part in a campaign to unite rappers from rival hoods out of Pomona City called “The Pomona City Movement” or the PMC.
Six rappers from 6 different areas of the city that are actu- ally at war with each other were selected to take part in this movement, and even cre- ated a mixtape together.
Rapper Norfside Nusense called the execution of this project a “miracle.”
Going even further to show those acclimated to the streets another life, Snoop signed Jooba Loc, an ex-gang mem- ber, to his label, making him the first artist endorsed by Doggy Style Records.
And Rihanna Tie With 5
Drake’s hotline was defi- nitely blinging when the 2016 BET Awards nominations were announced Friday, May 20. The “Back to Back” rapper scored 9 nominations while BET Awards regulars Bey- oncé and Rihanna each racked up five.
Although Beyoncé’s Lemonade dropped in April and was ineligible for consid- eration this year, both “For- mation” and “Feeling Myself” — her collaboration with Nicki Minaj — were enough to help Queen Bey out.
The biggest surprise on the list, arguably, is Adele’s nom- ination for Best Female

The Whitney Houston Es- tate has cancelled a planned duet between Christina Aguilera and a hologram of the late singer.
The performance was set to air on The Voice's season 10 fi- nale later this month.
Now, Pat Houston, execu- tor of the estate, has issued the following statement to ET's Kevin Frazier.
“We are so appreciative of the opportunity for the Whit- ney Houston hologram to appear on NBC’s The Voice with a talent pairing as ex- traordinary as Christina Aguilera and Whitney Houston. We were looking to deliver a ground breaking duet performance for the fans of both artists. Holograms are new technology that take time to perfect, and we believe with artists of this iconic caliber, it must be perfect. Whitney’s legacy and her devoted fans
WHITNEY HOUSTON
deserve perfection. After closely viewing the perform- ance, we decided the hologram was not ready to air. We have much respect and appreciation for Christina, and she was absolutely flawless.’’
News of the planned holo- gram in the singer's likeness was first announced in Sep- tember 2015.
Drake’s new house is being erected in his hometown of Toronto, Canada.
According to reports, Drake submitted plans to build a mas- sive 21,000 square foot man- sion in Toronto’s upscale neighborhood of Bridle Path.
The custom-built home will have a massive basketball court, swimming pool, theater room, a hot tub on the roof, a custom- made bar and even a museum to house Drake’s valuables.
The rapper, who has had a record-setting year thanks to the release of his latest album Views, has already spent over $6 million for two acres of property.
So far there have been no con- cerns expressed from residents in the neighborhood, where a number of powerful business- men and musicians also live.
A hearing is supposed to take place on May 26 regarding some minor construction ex- emptions, mainly because most everything isculra- rent laws allow.
Tamar Braxton has been fired from Daytime Emmy- nominated FOX talk show, ‘The Real.’
The Real and Tamar re- leased a joint statement:
“THE REAL and Tamar Braxton have mutually de- cided that Tamar will not be continuing with the show for its upcoming third season. She will be leaving in order to con- centrate on her solo career. Everyone associated with THE
r gREeArL aptphrecaiatnes Tamar’s ef- forts and the contributions she
has made to the show’s success, and we wish her all the best for the future.”
However a Source claims that Tamar wasn’t reading too well with the audience and sales people didn’t find her to be a good fit with advertisers. She was also too difficult deal- ing with production.
Tamar is no longer follow- ing Adrienne Bailon, Jean- nie Mai, Loni Love, or ‘The Real’ on Twitter. The only host she’s currently following is Tamara Mowry-Housley.
