Chris Brown is trying to keep his name out of the rumor mill. The Grammy-nominated singer went on his Instagram account to shut down rumors that he was attacked at a Meek Mill party.
We have no idea how the rumors got started but it seems far-fetched in the first place. Thankfully, Breezy set the record straight on social media, denying that he was involved in a pistol-whipping.
Lol.. Killing these lil rumours that I got beat up last night at meek mill party. It’s funny how I’m always the topic of discussion for bulls—. Given my prior encounters with the law I don’t conduct myself like that when I go out. So no, I wasnt involved in any pistol whipping or fighting. There was an altercation between other people at the party and I observed. Me and my team left so we wouldn’t have anything to do with it so the police wouldn’t f— wit me. You know how my name pops up in everything. Lol. GOOD DAY SIR”
It’s good that the rumors aren’t true because Breezy just completed his community service and can now embark on his Between the Sheets tour with Trey Songz, which he initially had to postpone.
However, we must point out that whenever Brown is at a club or party, a violent incident occurs — like someone getting shot multiple times.
In any case, we’re glad that the ‘New Flame’ singer wasn’t involved in a serious altercation.

K. Michelle Calls Out Uncle Murda for Dissing Her 'Hot Pocket' [VIDEO]
K. Michelle doesn’t like it when you talk about her “hot pocket” — the nickname she uses for her lady parts. The R&B singer recently clapped back at rapper Uncle Murda for his comments about her vajayjay in his ‘Yearly Rap Up’ song.
On the track, Uncle M raps a rather crude line about K. Michelle’s vagina that goes, “I say s— that make n—-s think / Five n—-s told me K. Michelle p—- stink.”
During an interview with 106 KMEL radio personality Shay Diddy, the ‘Maybe I Should Call’ singer brushed off Murda’s lyrics and says he’s only doing it to boost his career.
“It’s a new headline every day I wake up. Today I woke up, my coochie was stanking,” she said. “I don’t even know who he is. In the first place, the level and caliber of men that I date, don’t know no Uncle Murda.”
“I’m not even gonna be angry or react, because I see how people always take my name to do anything to get that attention, because they know I’ll pop off,” she continued. “You might get a little attention, get 300 followers, feeling like king for the day. Feel like Jay Z for the day.”
In Murda’s defense, he did tell Power 105.1 ‘s ‘The Breakfast Club,’ that he didn’t mean any malicious intent behind the line, just repeating what he heard through different people.
Vagina talk aside, K. Michelle is not letting crude rumors stop her grind. The self-proclaimed “Kanye of R&B” is on her My Twisted Mind tour. Her next stop will be in Orlando, Fla., on Feb. 13, followed by Baton Rouge, La., on Feb. 15. You can check out her full itinerary below.

Beyonce and Jay Z's Joint Album Could Arrive This Year
Beyonce and Jay Z‘s joint album could be arriving sooner than you think.
Fans first caught wind of the project last year when DJ Skee revealed the power couple was working on the new LP. Now thanks to producer Detail, it looks like the album can be released this year.
During a red carpet interview with Billboard magazine at the Grammy Awards, the Detroit beat maker said he’s collaborating with the ‘Drunk in Love’ creators. “I’m working with a couple of new projects that I don’t want to unveil, and then me and Beyonce and Jay Z are actually doing something together this year,” he revealed. “When you think of Jay and B together, you think ‘album.’ You should already know.”
When the interviewer pushed Detail a little harder and asked if the album would actually see the light of day, he looked hesitant to answer. “In my imaginary mind I would want to say it’s true,” stated Detail. Well, that gives us a glimmer of hope.
Hip-hop’s “it” couple have joined forces for several songs including ‘Crazy in Love’ and ‘Upgrade U,’ which they performed on their 2014 On the Run Tour.
Beyonce and Jay Z’s ‘Drunk in Love,’ produced by Detail, won a Grammy last night for Best R&B song and Best R&B Performance.

Here's What Went Wrong at 2015 Grammy Awards
Music’s biggest night or music’s biggest snooze fest? The 2015 Grammy Awards were a night to remember, but not necessarily for the right reasons. For hip-hop heads (or really, anyone born after the year 1980), the annual awards ceremony was fraught with its fair share of side eye-inducing lows.
Rap and hip-hop suffered the worst, being overtly shut out from the main stage. There was no actual rapping last night, aside from Common, who performed dead last (by the way, Pharrell singing ‘Happy’ and Kanye West‘s Auto-Tune singing on ‘Only One’ is not rap). Nicki Minaj had to share air time with Miley Cyrus to present Madonna’s performance and rapper themselves didn’t get much face time — Rick Ross was panned to once in the audience, but if you blinked, you missed the slim boss.
Adding insult to injury, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar won major awards relegated to the show’s pre-telecast, which is a nice word in Grammy-speak for “awards that aren’t important enough for live television so we air them while the red carpet is going on.” If an award is given and no one sees it, does it even exist? Em took home Best Rap Album for ‘The Marshall Mathers LP 2′ and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for ‘Monster,’ while K. Dot won Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for ‘i.’ Interestingly, neither attended; perhaps a nod to all the rappers who have historically boycotted the ceremony for this exact reason.
Beyonce, a perennial Grammy favorite, took home three awards — Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance for ‘Drunk in Love’ Best Surround Sound Album for her self-titled project — but was surprisingly shut out of Album of the Year. The songstress’ landmark self-titled project “broke the Internet” in 2013, before that was even a thing, but lost to Beck’s ‘Morning Phase’ at the awards ceremony.
Without a single or major promo, the ‘Beyonce’ LP proved how a superstar with a loyal following can successfully release music, essentially changing the game for artists and labels in 2013 and beyond. Kanye wasn’t having it and even winner Beck knew the Grammys got it wrong. “I thought she was going to win. Come on, she’s Beyonce!,” he said afterwards. It’s Macklemore and Kendrick all over again, kiddos.
Even those who won awards were jerked around. Acceptance speeches, including Pharrell winning Best Pop Solo Performance for ‘Happy,’ were cut off mid-sentence. “I’m not gonna make this awkward and long”, he prefaced. Sorry, Skateboard P, we’re not gonna let you finish. Cut to the wrap-it-up music. What’s funny, is that Pharrell was thanking his record label and the Grammy academy when he was cut off. Shouldn’t the Grammys support an artist who actually likes them? Apparently, not. Get packing, Pharrell.
So what did the Grammys do with all that extra time, you ask? Give it to the old heads. The Grammys have often struggled with staying relevant and Sunday night, it was clear that the struggle is very real. With AC/DC opening up the show, performances by Tom Jones, ELO and Tony Bennett and LL Cool J’s old man jokes, it seemed like the average age of the Grammys was 67 years old.
I love some vintage music just as much as the next person and I believe that everyone should read up on their history and respect their elders, however, the Grammys should not be ripped from the latest issue of AARP magazine. When Recording Academy President Neil Portnow, Jennifer Hudson and One Republic’s Ryan Tedder gave their spiel about supporting the “next generation” of artists, it was laughable. The next generation of artists aren’t watching this show, their grandparents are.
Well, there you have it. What music’s biggest night got wrong. Thankfully Beyonce being Beyonce, Prince serving up the ice cold shade and Kanye (almost) pulling a Kanye, offered brief glimpses of entertainment in an otherwise boring night. So, when are the MTV Video Music Awards?

Iggy Azalea Slams Papa John's Pizza for Invading Her Privacy
Iggy Azalea is known to beef with the likes of Azealia Banks and Snoop Dogg, but Papa John’s Pizza? That’s something we didn’t expect.
Right before the Grammy Awards Sunday night (Feb. 8), the outspoken rapper ordered a pizza from the franchise only to find out the driver passed out her personal phone number to people like his sister. She took to Twitter to address the mess.
“I ordered a cheese pizza but instead I got tons of calls and messages like this one,” the ‘Fancy’ rhymer tweeted along with a screenshot of a text message. “Hello is this Iggy Azalea my brother had delivered something from Papa John’s to u and he gave me the number on Friday night [sic],” reads the text. “I am your number one fan call me back please. Is this u please answer u r my idol.”
That’s when ‘The New Classic’ creator took to Twitter and slammed Papa John’s for invading her privacy. “@PapaJohns refuse to send pictures of their employees, so you can identify who it is that steals your information,” she stated. “@PapaJohn’s was my favorite pizza but the drivers they use give out your personal number to their family,”
The company then apologized but didn’t take the situation seriously enough for Iggy.
“@iggyazalea, #We should have known better. Customer and employee privacy is important to us. Please don’t #bounce us,” wrote Papa John’s, referencing Azalea’s song.
They also sent a letter, which the rapper then posted. That particular post, however, has since been deleted. “I don’t think data breach is funny,” Iggy tweeted. “I expect you to contact me to explain how you are going to rectify your breach.”
The Aussie native then threatened to sue Papa John’s if the company didn’t rectify the situation quickly. On a funny note, the company DiGiorno Pizza jumped in on the matter.

Iggy Azalea Blasts Papa John's for Giving Out Her Phone Number
We’ve known Iggy Azalea to beef with the likes of Azealia Banks and Snoop Dogg but Papa John’s? That’s different.
Right before the Grammy Awards last night, the always-in-the-news rapper ordered a pizza from the franchise deliver place, only to find out the driver passed out her personal phone number to people like his sister.
“I ordered a cheese pizza but instead I got tons of calls and messages like this one:” the ‘Fancy’ spitter tweeted.
“Hello is this Iggy Azalea? My brother had delivered something from Papa John’s to you and he gave me the number on Friday,” texted the the guy’s sister …”I am your number one fan. Call me back please. Is this you? Please answer. You are my idol.”
That’s when ‘The New Classic’ creator took to Twitter and blasted Papa John’s.
“You know, to protect their privacy … Too bad they don’t value the privacy of their customers also. #DamnShame,” she wrote.
“@PapaJohns refuse to send pictures of their employees, so you can identify who it is that steals your information. @PapaJohn’s was my favorite pizza but the drivers they use give out your personal number to their family,” she continued.

Twitter Reacts to 2015 Grammy Awards
The 2015 Grammy Awards are officially over. Music’s biggest night delivered both hits and misses and Twitter was there for every moment. Fans couldn’t stop tweeting over Beyonce’s mesmerizing rendition of ‘Precious Lord, Take My Hand’ (and the absence of Ledisi) and legendary singer Annie Lennox’s ‘I Put a Spell on You.’ LL Cool J‘s over-the-top hosting and Pharrell mimicking a bellhop for ‘Happy’ caused jeers, but Kanye West almost “pulling a Kanye” to give Beyonce the Album of the Year Award was brilliant.
Sam Smith was the overall big winner of the night, snagging four awards including Best New Artist and Song of the Year for ‘Stay With Me.’ Much to the chagrin of hip-hop heads, most of the rap awards were not televised. In the pre-show Kendrick Lamar and Eminem walked away with statuettes — Em took home Best Rap Album and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for ‘Monster,’ while K Dot snagged Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for ‘i.’ Interestingly, much talked-about nominee Iggy Azalea went home empty-handed in all categories and yielded more than her share of memes.
Fashion took center stage in what could be described as an “all black everything” night. From Beyonce to Nicki Minaj and Ciara, black gowns and suits took the lead while men like (a nearly unrecognizable) Rick Ross opted for blue. Luckily, Rihanna and Prince broke up the monotony and kept it colorful, rocking very bright and bold statement pieces.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the 2015 Grammy Awards below.
