[Baby Mama Drama] Chris Brown's Baby's Mama wants $15K




Oh my lordt. Here we go! So lil Royalty's mama, Nia Guzman, wants to up her child support from $2500 to a whopping $15k! Hmmm no surprise there. Apparently she wants to live that royal lifestyle like her daughter!

TMZ Reports:
Chris Brown is at war with his baby mama, who claims he's stopped paying the measly $2,500 a month in child support, and now she's gunning for 6 times that.
Multiple sources connected with the couple tell TMZ, Chris has been paying baby Royalty's mom, Nia Guzman, the $2,500, but the gravy train stopped in March. Our Chris sources say he stopped paying because Nia demanded $15k a month, which he thinks is ridiculous.
We're told Chris says Nia's treating the baby like a winning lottery ticket, but she claims he's being incredibly cheap and their daughter is suffering as a result.
We're told Nia's lawyer, Carl Moore, will be filing legal docs in the next 2 weeks demanding back child support and a huge monthly hike.  

Hmmm we'll have to see how this one pans out. Of course I'll keep you updated!

Mendeecees Harris Pleads Guilty to Federal Drug Charges! Facing up to 10 Yrs if Convicted!


Dammit man. What is Yandy gon do now. They have their upcoming wedding set to air on VH1 and now this? If she marries that man and holds him down for 10 years she is truly the real MVP.

According to TMZ:
'Love & Hip Hop' couple Mendeecees Harris and Yandy Smith might be honeymooning in a federal prison ... because the groom just plead guilty to running a drug ring in upstate NY.
Harris struck a plea deal in the case, and will now face 5 to 40 years in the federal pen, and/or a fine of $5 million. The feds nailed him for a drug trafficking operation that shipped cocaine and heroin to Rochester for 7 years.
Harris will remain free on bail until his sentencing in August -- good thing for him ... since he and Yandy are getting married next month on "Love & Hip Hop Live: The Wedding." By the way, he also has to surrender all his paychecks from 'LHH.'
The only good news for Yandy -- when her hubby gets locked up ... she'll get back most of the $200k she put up for his bail when he originally got busted last year.
Well damn. That sucks. I mean they just had another child and were sooo hyped to start a new chapter in their lives as husband and wife. Wishing for the best for both of them.

Damon Dash Loses Custody to Rachel Roy! Restraining Order also Issued!


Well look what his big mouth got him into. I mean it's no secret Damon Dash isn't meek in any way, shape, or form. I'm sure his hostile behavior sealed the deal for his ex wife, fashion designer, Rachel Roy to gain full custody of their two children 15-year-old Ava and 6-year-old Tallulah. This fool didn't even show up to court!


TMZ reports:

Damon Dash just lost custody of the daughters he shares with ex-wife Rachel Roy, and it's probably all news to him ... since he didn't even show up for the hearing.
Roy just got sole legal and physical custody of 15-year-old Ava and 6-year-old Tallulah. Dash also wanted full custody.
The former couple each accused the other of being an unfit parent. He claimed she drove drunk with one of the girls, and threatened to cut him with a knife. She claimed he smokes weed around the kids. She said all the women and drugs were a bad influence on their daughters.
The judge clearly sided with Rachel, ruling Dash only gets supervised visitation.
Roy also got a three-year restraining order against Dash.
Hmm that three-year restraining order tho? He does seem a lil nutty! Hopefully it's the best decision for all parties.



Well that's Embarrasssing! Memphitz Loses Defamation Case Against K Michelle & Mona Scott Young


Well no surprise here folks, well for me anyway, but Mickey Wright, also known as Toya Wright's better half has lost his case against K. Michelle! Remember back a few years ago on LHHATL when all this hoopla started after K. Michelle revealed that someone put dem paws on her.. She never mentioned names but word spread and rumors flew revealing the womanizer. Memphitz tried to clear his name by filing a lawsuit against K. Michelle and Mona Scott Young and that motion has absolutely backfired.

According to AJC:

On Thursday, former Jive Records executive Mickey “Memphitz” Wright Jr. lost his 2012 defamation case against the owners of VH1 and producers of the network’s hit show “Love Hip Hop Atlanta” after his former girlfriend accused him of physical abuse and embezzlement on the program.
Wright’s former girlfriend, R & B singer Kimberly Michelle Pate (who was known on the show as K. Michelle),talked extensively on the TV show about how she had been abused and ripped off by an unnamed former record executive and was upset when other members of the show didn’t believe her. Although Wright was never named on the show, gossip sites mentioned his name numerous times. In social media and radio interviews, he denied the allegations, acknowledging it was him.
In the lawsuit filed in the United States Northern District of Georgia on Sept. 5, 2012, Wright asked for $15 million in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages.
To win the defamation case, Wright had to prove K Michelle’s allegations that he physically abused her were false, that he is more a private figure than a public figure (where the bar is far higher to prove defamation and “actual malice” has to be proven) and that the production companies and VH1 aired this information knowing it was false. He also had to prove the allegations were “injurious to his reputation and was published with a degree of fault at least amounting to negligence.”
The Fulton County judge Robert McBurney decided in favor of the defendants. In general, the allegations were true, Wright is deemed a public figure as a former TV host and husband of singer and reality star Toya Wright and the production company “exercised due diligence concerning Defendant Pate’s domestic violence claims,” according to final court judgment. “The record shows that they reasonably believed Defendant Pate during production of LHHA and that they still do today.”
Wright in depositions acknowledged he got into a physical altercation with K Michelle in a Memphis hotel altercation in 2009 and had spent money from Jive Record’s budget for jewelry, not to help her career, and had sent a text message threatening to kill K. Michelle’s son. That content of the text was bleeped out on the show, negating its import in the case.
The summary judgment goes into detail about the argument between K Michelle and Wright where Wright admits he put a pillow and/or his hands over her mouth to try to shut her up. She reasonably thought he was trying to kill her. He later tried to backtrack from his initial acknowledgments, according to a court filing by the defendants seeking summary judgment.
Although K Michelle wasn’t a defendant in the original case, she was added later. The other defendants are Viacom, which owns VH1 and the production companies NFGTV and Monami Entertainment.
The judge was also displeased that it took several months for Wright to specify what was defamatory, noting that the delays “consumed the resources of the Court and Defendants and ultimately required an order of the Court to fix.”
K Michelle left “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” after the second season in 2013 and moved to New York, where had her own VH1 spinoff for one season. She also was able to re-ignite her music career, generating three hit singles in 2013 and 2014.

Damn looks like Memph actually does hit! he hits women! #bloop I wonder if that added another dent to the already failing marriage of his with Toya. Hmmm we shall see!

Solange Knowles' Friend and Business Partner Stabbed 10 times and in Critical Condition!


Well dayumnnnnn. We know Solo is a lil turnt up. Looks like her friend, Armina Mussa is too. Word in the streets is that she and another woman got into a physical altercation in New Orleans and things went all the way left. At some point the woman, Mussa was fighting, pulled a knife and proceeded to stab her multiple times leaving Mussa in critical condition.

The culprit-Arronesia Christophe


According to The Times-Picayune:
Solange Knowles' friend and artistic partner Armina Mussa is in critical condition after getting stabbed 10 times in New Orleans' St. Roch area on Wednesday evening (April 8), court records show. Police have arrested a suspect.
Arronesia Christophe, 26, was booked on charges of attempted second-degree murder after police say she stabbed 24-year-old Mussa outside a home in the 2200 block of N. Derbigny Street.
Mussa is the project director for Knowles' artistic and creative brand Saint Heron and a co-owner of the French Quarter boutique, Exodus Goods. Knowles -- sister of pop singer Beyoncé -- attended Christophe's first appearance at Orleans Parish Criminal Court on Thursday afternoon, courthouse sources told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune.
According to records filed at Orleans Parish Criminal District Court, Christophe was arrested at the location of the stabbing about 7:03 p.m. Wednesday by New Orleans Police Officer Dominique Dejernette.
Records show Christophe told Dejernette that she had been attacked by Mussa and was acting in self-defense when she stabbed the woman.
Christophe claimed that she had arrived at a high school friend's home about 6:45 p.m. when Mussa, who Christophe said was her friend's ex-girlfriend, came out of the house and began yelling at her to leave, the documents show. Records show Mussa lives at the Derbigny Street home.
Christophe reportedly said, "We're just friends, why do I have to leave?" Records show Christophe said she then grabbed a small folding knife from the center console of her car and told Mussa to "get back," and to "please back away," but claimed Mussa continued to yell at her.
Mussa then began punching Christophe, the arrested woman told police. Christophe said she was being pulled by her hair to the ground  when she began swinging her knife at Mussa, who she claims continued to punch her.
"(Christophe) stated she did not think she had stabbed the victim due to the harder thrown punches that she received from the victim," Dejernette wrote in her report.
Christophe said she finally stopped swinging the knife when Mussa stepped back and said, "you stabbed me," records show. After police were called, Christophe stayed on the scene and remained on the phone with a 911 dispatcher until the officers arrived, the record says.
Mussa was rushed to an area hospital where she underwent multiple surgeries and remains in critical condition, records show. Efforts to reach family members were not immediately successful.
A representative for Knowles said Friday that the singer had no comment but confirmed that she was not in New Orleans at the time of the incident. Knowles was in Los Angeles where she was scheduled to DJ at an event during the Coachella festival but cancelled and immediately flew back so she could be with Mussa and her family, the rep said.
Knowles attended a hearing for Christophe in magistrate Judge Harry Cantrell's courtroom shortly before 3 p.m. Thursday, sources said. She appeared dressed in a crimson skirt, sneakers and an oversized sweatshirt and was seen talking to a police officer in the hallway before the hearing. She appeared "very concerned", a source said.
Although police first booked Christophe on charges of aggravated battery, records show she was rebooked Friday morning on the more serious offense of attempted second-degree murder due to the severity of Mussa's injuries.
Records show Mussa received stab wounds to "various areas of her body." An NOPD sergeant described the wounds as "potentially fatal," pointing to at least one stab wound to Mussa's neck, records show.
Christophe, who records show works as an "Executive Team Lead" at Target, remains jailed at the Orleans Parish Prison on a $50,000 bond.

Rapper and reality TV star Nelly is facing felony drug charges after being arrested in Tennessee on Saturday.
Tennessee Highway Patrol said in a news release that Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes, was pulled over about 9:20 a.m. because the bus he was riding in failed to display a U.S. Department of Transportation and International Fuel Tax Association sticker.
According to the statement, troopers smelled marijuana when they reached the bus.
When troopers searched the bus, they found five rocks that tested positive for meth, as well as a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Creep Life: Ex NFL'er Darren Sharper will Serve 9 years in Prison for Rape!!


Ummm so this sicko here!!! Ex NFL star Darren Sharper pleaded guilty to his guilty pleasure of drugging and raping women. SMH He's also Gabrielle Union's ex boo! Hmmmph she dodged a bullet with that one. Anyway...

ESPN Reports:

LOS ANGELES -- Former NFL star Darren Sharper pleaded no contest Monday to drugging and raping two women in Los Angeles as part of a broader plea deal in four states that will send him to federal prison for nine years.

Sharper, 39, acknowledged the crimes in Los Angeles Superior Court after pleading guilty by video link to sexual assault in Arizona.

Sharper wearing a striped, light blue suit, said he was entering the plea because it was in his best interest. He had faced up to 33 years in prison if convicted of all counts against him in California.

The former all-pro safety who won a Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints admitted he had drugged and raped two women he met at a West Hollywood bar in 2013 and 2014.

The women were not in court, but prosecutors said they had agreed to the plea deal.

In the Arizona case, Sharper admitted sexually assaulting one woman and trying to attack another in suburban Phoenix in 2013.

Sharper appeared in a Phoenix courtroom by video-conferencing from Los Angeles, where he has been jailed since February 2014.

Under the deal negotiated by his lawyers and state and federal prosecutors, Sharper will serve a nine-year federal prison term for similar crimes in Louisiana, Nevada, Arizona and California.

Similar hearings will follow in Las Vegas on Tuesday and in New Orleans in the next month. In each state, he's accused of drugging and sexually assaulting women when they were unconscious or otherwise unable to resist or consent.

He was sentenced immediately in the Arizona case, which is very unusual. Sentencing in California was scheduled July 15.

Sharper retired from the NFL in 2011 after a 14-year career with three teams and later worked as an analyst for the NFL network.

All the alleged sexual assaults happened after Sharper's retirement as a player.

Sharper admitted sexually assaulting one victim and trying to assault another in Arizona, though police said he drugged three women and sexually assaulted two of them at a Tempe apartment in November 2013.

Prosecutor Yigael Cohen on Monday cited a letter in which one of the victims says she suffered emotional harm as a result of the attack and that she didn't have the ability to resist.

A search of the Tempe apartment turned up a shot glass with a white residue that turned out to be the sedative zolpidem, and California investigators discovered that Sharper had a prescription for the drug.

In the California case, he pleaded no contest to four counts of furnishing zolpidem, which is a controlled substance.

Sharper's attorneys said last year that their client did not make the drinks authorities say he used to drug the women.

One of the women told police she had not had any alcohol that night until Sharper insisted she drink a shot. Another young woman said she had been drugged, then went to bed, locked her door and was not attacked.

The next day, one of the women confronted Sharper, who denied wrongdoing, according to police reports.

Sharper is expected to plead guilty to one felony charge of attempted sexual assault in Nevada, with the expectation that he will face up to eight years in prison, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson told The Associated Press.

Oh!!!! Suge Knight Collapses in Court after the Judge set his Bail at $25 Million


This guy here I tell you! Ok so Suge is at the courtroom actin like Suga!!!! I can't believe this man! First he's legally blind in one eye and now this? UGHHHHH  He has absolutely no regard for anyone but himself. He'll beat people up, run them over and even kill them but he can't stand up like a man and be told by a judge that he ain't even got enough coins to get dat ass outta jail. Hmmmph
His attorney's Empire references were completely laughable. Suge is looking at a lot of time. He better man up. Thugs aren't supposed to act like this!


TMZ Reported:

Suge Knight just got the worst news possible ... a judge sided with the prosecutor in his murder case and set bail at $25 MILLION ... but not before his lawyer compared Suge's plight to Lucious Lyon on "Empire."
The judge feels Suge is a danger to be out and about given his extensive record and specifically, incidents involving guns, violence and witness intimidation.
Attorney Matt Fletcher threw a Hail Mary, accusing the prosecutor of watching too much "Empire." Fletcher, said, "It's like she watches "Empire" and comes in and says, 'He was an unrepentant and shameless criminal. Prosecute him.'"
As you know ... Lucious was arrested in the "Empire" finale for murdering Bunkie.
And then Fletcher starts to hammer away at Cle Bone Sloan, one of the men Suge ran over, repeatedly referencing Bone's statement to cops that he f***** Suge up.
Suge is in bad shape, claiming he's going crazy in jail because he's in solitary with no hot water, no blanket and only sporadic showers.
UPDATE at 10:15 AM PT -- Suge collapsed after the hearing, an ambulance came and they are taking him to the hospital. Certainly better than a 20 X 8 cell.
If he doesn't get his big ass up and face the music like the big gangster he's supposed to be already. Ughhhh

The Judge said Cut the Sh*t! Orders Pharrell and Robin Thicke to pay $7.3 Million to Marvin Gaye's Estate for Blurred Lines


Ummm No surprise here folks. I don't even know why Pharrell even took it there. He knows better than that! Like there were wayyyyyyy too many similarities that only a fool could miss. Remnants of Marvin Gaye's Got to Give it Up was all up and through Blurred Lines.

ABC Reports:
A jury has sided with the family of Marvin Gaye, determining that Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams copied parts of Gaye's song "Got to Give It Up" for their hit, "Blurred Lines."
The jury awarded the late Gaye's family approximately $7.4 million in damages. Williams will pay about $1.6 million and Thicke will pay about $1.77 million.
The jury ruled Clifford Harris, the rapper known as T.I. who performed on "Blurred Lines" and received a co-songwriting credit, did not infringe on the Gaye copyright.

Check out both songs below. What do you think?
SN: Nona Gaye's performance during the speech she gave after er family won the case was comical. Bye Nona!!! LOL

Ludacris -- Baby Mama Claims He Made Me Play Let's Make an Abortion Deal

TMZ Reports:

Ludacris' baby mama testified in court that it's ridiculously ludicrous he's fighting for full custody of their daughter, because he desperately wanted her to have an abortion to the point he even bribed her.Tamika Fuller said when Luda found out she was pregnant he cried, but they weren't tears of joy. He said it would ruin his life and he then urged her to terminate the pregnancy. According to Tamika, Luda initially offered her $10K and a house if she lost the baby.   As TMZ first reported, Fuller believes Luda's quicky marriage to Eudoxie was just a transparent ploy to show the  judge he has a more stable home than her.

I swear getting pregnant by a celeb isn't what it used to be. It used to be a lottery ticket and now it's more like a headache. #wrapitupperiod  Check back for updates as complete details are developing.
