Update: Chris Brown Breaks Silence, Singer Apologizes & Shoots Down Reports Of Facebook Comments, Jay Z Calls For Support For Rihanna (video)


Thisis50.com reports:

Chris Brown released a statement via his spokesman today (February 15) apologizing for his attack on Rihanna and shot down reports that he had written disparaging remarks about her on his Facebook after the incident.

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counselling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person,” Brown wrote.

“Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong,” he continued. “ While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds."

He is currently out on $50,000 bail and will appear in court on March 5th. Rihanna, who suffered visible injuries from the attack, is cooperating with police who are building a domestic violence case against Brown.

Hip hop mogul Jay Z also commented on the situation, stating "Just imagine it being your sister or mom and then think about how we should talk about that..."

Jay Z Infuriated By Chris Brown


Thisis50.com reports,"Chris Brown is set to incur the wrath of hip-hop king Jay-Z over his alleged assault on R&B star RIHANNA. Brown was arrested on Sunday for felony battery after an incident with an as yet unidentified woman, reported to be Rihanna, in a vehicle in Los Angeles. And Jay-Z, who discovered and mentored Rihanna, was reportedly enraged upon hearing the allegations, warning of retributions for Brown. A source tells Us Weekly magazine, "He hit the roof. Chris is a walking dead man. He messed with the wrong crew."

I don't know what Hov is going to do about it, but what's really good with Jay Z and Rihanna?

Their relationship always seemed weird as it's public knowledge but is kept very confidential.

On the other hand, Rhianna missing the Grammy Awards and canceling her shows is hurting someone's pockets, probably Jay Z's.

So what is he going to do? Is this a beef between Jay Z and Chris Brown?

M.I.A , T.I., Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, & Kanye West Perform "Swagga Like Us" At The 51st Annual Grammy Awards [HD Quality]





M.I.A, Lil Wayne, T.I., Jay-Z, Kanye West perform "Swagga Like Us" live at the Grammy Awards.

There was alot of star power on the stage Sunday night as hip hop heavyweights Jay Z, Lil Wayne, T.I. and Kanye West performed "Swagga Like Us" live with M.I.A. who is well into her pregnancy.

The performance is pretty hot. I like the use of the black and white at the beginning of the performance and all the performers looked clean in their tuxes.

Damn Diddy, Has It Been That Long?

Diddy was recently caught at the Knicks Vs. Cavs game looking at a dollar bill like it was the first he's ever seen.

Has it really been that long since you've been paid?

Damn, it must feel good.



Diddy was accompanied by Chris Rock, Ciara, Whoopi Goldberg, Jay Z and Spike Lee to name a few stars attending the game.

UPDATE: Young Jeezy Responds Back To Bill O'Reilly



I'm sorry people but I fuck with Jeezy, Hov too but right now Young Jeezy is using his freedom of speech to the fullest. I feel you homie.

Nothing he's saying is a lie from my perspective, way to keep it a hundred Jeezy. I'm about sick of Bill O' Reilly too, talking about Ludacris, 50 Cent, now Young Jeezy?

Their music doesn't even speak to him, and if he is as ignorant as he appears I doubt he can figure out much of what they're saying.

UPDATE: Young Jeezy, Jay-Z Speak About "My President Is Black"

Young Jeezy and Jay-Z explain the significance of, "My President Is Black" and the election of Barack Obama to Sway of MTV News.




I'm happy to see that MTV News took the initiative to interview the artists who created this message, "My President Is Black". MTV News displays a certain level of integrity that Fox News does not. It's a positive thing when artists not only spread their music but more so their ideas and sense of pride.


"My president is black in fact he's half white, so even to a racist mind he's half right...Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly, so imma spread my wings meet me in the sky"- Jay Z.

Fox Smears Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, and Barack Obama

Recently Bill O' Reilly and Dennis Miller commented on a performance of Jay-Z and Young Jeezy during the inauguration weekend in Washington D.C., while performing Young Jeezy's song " My President is Black". The pundits at Fox News quickly jumped on the performance and interestingly enough have already played the race card against the new president. Accusing Jay-Z and Young Jeezy of racist remarks which I didn't hear, while pundits made many comments which could be offensive, watch for yourself:

OK, first for Young Jeezy. He never said anything about white people at any point he thanked two people (whether you agree or not) and the stated, "My president is black". Jay-Z free styled a few bars that said no more Bush and no more white lies, then stated "My president is black". So where is the offensive language which is so unacceptable that it should be publicly denounced by our President. How do the personal political opinions of two ARTISTS, who were performing for a crowd who paid to see them, become a representation of Black America and Barack Obama. How does this 20 second clip reflect race relations and the mind state of the young African Americans of this country?

The language used is borderline offensive as Dennis Miller states, " with a 70% single parent rate in the black community this guy is stuck..." What does that mean that he is stuck? What is the relevance to the Iraq War which Jay Z mentioned. Miller gives his transparent monologue about welcoming a new era of African American respectability. They mention the word hoe but not Don Imus, mention a 70% single parent rate but not that African American males also lead in the area of death between 15-29. Miller really fell off since his show, fake ass Jack Nicholson .

It's funny how the story began on a night club performance and ends in the criticism of Barack Obama and his policies. Is this truly news worthy? Since Obama has been elected there have been increased cross burnings, schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars(www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27738018/,). Fox News plays a dangerous game as they attempt to drive a wedge in the nation's race relations further, playing wolf in sheep's clothing. Taking art from the hip hop world and spoon feeding it to a foreign middle America as a sign of African American hate are antics to further the cause of Fox News and their agenda. Journalistic integrity must be the extinct dinosaur in today's media.

Michelle Malkin also comments on the Young Jeezy, Jay- Z- My President is Black performance:

So Fox News felt this story was so important they covered it twice. Michelle Malkin is notorious for being a puppet, I can see her strings in the video. Malkin refers to the eve of the inauguration as the "feel good kumbaya". Kumbaya was originally associated with unity and closeness, but more recently is also alluded to sarcastically to suggest a blandly pious and naively optimistic view of the world and human nature. As Malkin points fingers at the hip hop industry for being bigoted and racist she eludes to the Obama administration and how they do not denounce these actions. Miss Malkin character assassination is never attractive and this story is baseless and her statements are without merit. As they create concepts and terms such as a "Post Racial America" or a "Post Racial Presidency", the pundits are very sly in the way they make it seem as if Barack Obama's election has fixed years of sour race relations, which the "rap industry" and the "democrat mentality" is now destroying. Michelle Malkin always throws salt on the wound as she finishes with Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous words, while accusing Democrats of judging people by the color of their skin and not the content of their character. She then states, "not exactly the kind of legacy we thought Martin Luther King was supposed to leave." Malkin is intentionally disrespectful as she and Fox News try to smear the names of Barack Obama, Robert Rush, Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Nas(who is Nahz) and Martin Luther King JR.!!!

So in response to Fox News...NO MORE IRAQ, NO MORE LIES( Jay-Z said white lies to be witty, its hip-hop smh) and FUCK BUSH!!!
