Frankie V, 11, Lined Up To Be Youngest Grammy Nomination
FRANKIE V
Who’s the youngest eligible recording artist throwing his cap into the ring for Grammy consideration in 2015? Let’s spell it out for you: F-R-A-N- K-I-E – Frankie V. – with his incinerating sing-a-long Hip Hop groove, “Say Something!” This smokin’ hot techno-funk slice-of-life street rhyme reflects the mind of a cool young man with a master plan. Danceable with fun, yet positive messages for his peer group, “Say Some- thing” has captured the imagi- nations of dual generations. It is very seriously primed for Grammy consideration. And this guy isn’t even a teenager yet!
Born Francisco Vierra III, “Frankie V.” grew up watch- ing his father firsthand in Hip Hop, eventually taking the stage with him to wild popularity. Rolling year-round on the Honor Roll with excellent scholastic dedication is the only way his parents would allow him to jump into the Hip Hop game as a mature young profes- sional.
“Say Something” was strategi- cally coordinated for the youth market in summer 2015.
Official nominations for the 58th Annual Grammy Awards will be announced this month and the program takes place February 15, 2016.
Rihanna Abruptly Pulls Out Victoria Secret Fashion Show
Rihanna abruptly pulled the plug on her highly antici- pated performance at the Vic- toria’s Secret Fashion Show — and sources say it’s because the new music she was going to un- veil isn’t ready.
Sources said just last week that RiRi was planning to per- form a brand-new song at the high-profile show, but she can- celed Monday night.
But another insider said that wasn’t why she canceled. “She does have something to per- form. But the album isn’t fin- ished yet, and finishing it is the priority,” this source said. “She

couldn’t take the time to re- hearse and perform and finish the album. It just all didn’t come together.”
As fans await Lil’ Wayne’s Tha Carter V, he continues to supply free music until the album gets a release date. Tunechi took to Twitter to announce that he is dropping the sequel to his 2009 mix- tape No Ceilings, titled No Ceilings 2. on Thanksgiving, Nov. 26th.
No word on the features yet. Weezy has already re- leased two projects this year, Sorry 4 That Wait 2 and the Free Weezy Album. The Young Money boss claims that the highly an- ticipated Carter V is finished and he is working on a deal so
he can finally release it. “What I am working on right now is a comfortable

Just over a week after the Empire co-creator tried to get Sean Penn’s $10 million dol- lar defamation lawsuit against him moved to federal court, Lee Daniels has backed down and paid out.
Penn sued Daniels after he made a statement about do- mestic abuse against Penn when defending his ‘Empire’ star, Terrence Howard.
“Having considered the ar- guments and authorities raised in Penn’s October 22, 2015 pre-motion letter requesting a
remand and having diligently met and conferred, Daniels has agreed to withdraw his No- tice of Removal, and to have this matter remanded to the Supreme Court of the State of New York,” said a letter from Daniels’ lawyers filed in fed- eral court. “ While no dollar amount was given, sources say that the payment by Daniels was for Penn’s legal fees, as the Oscar winner’s primary at- torney Mathew Rosengart requested on October 22.

Chris Brown is not here for TMZ and their antics. He logged on to Twitter to let fans know his prediction that TMZ would run a bogus story on him because according to him they called his publicist about some “bullsh*t.”
