I haven’t done a flashback friday in a while so for this week, we are bringing  it back to 1999 with Ms. Missy Misdemeanor Elliott with the hit single All In My Grill featuring Nicole Wray & Big Boi.

Happy Friday

Fresh of f her tour in the states, Rihanna has been enjoying her holiday break in Barbados with family and friends. She was spotted all smiles in a orange and yellow bikini.

Basketball wives star Jennifer Williams called into the TT Torrez show to give some details on the new season to air in February and to also confirm that her bff Evelyn Lozado are no longer friends check out the interview above.

Fat Joe, or should I call him “slim Joe” has made his way back onto the music scene. Along with his weight lost, Joe decided to link up with R&B crooner Chris Brown for his Cool & Dre produced new single  titled “Another Round”. The video was shot in Southern California by director Colin Tilley.

It could be possible, as Rihanna is now accused of stealing ideas from a photographer for her recently released video “You Da One” which was shot by Melina Matsouka. Certain images with Rihanna reflected with stripes and polka dots on her body reveal coincidental resemblance of a photographers pictures. Now we know of Rihanna’s past run in’s with plagiarism such as S&M which ironically was also filmed by Melina Matsouka.  According to Ace Showbiz this is what they’ve said:

Both Riri and Melina haven’t responded to the plagiarism claim. Instead, the Bajan beauty continued to hype up the video on her Twitter. She gave update on how many views the clip collected on YouTube by retweeting her fans’ messages. “#YouDaOne video was released a day ago and already has nearly 4 million views,” she posted before adding hours later, ” ‘You Da One’ video has 7,060,407 views.”

The only thing I am trying to figure out is why don’t Rihanna or the director behind the ideas for her videos request permission than stealing?? everyone gets inspiration some where, but it shouldn’t be at the point where she is dishing out thousands and thousands of dollars. Or maybe I am just missing a point in the process??

John Legend took it to the next level and finally popped the question to long time girlfriend Christine Teigen. Over the holiday weekend, John Legend and his now fiance spent quality time in Maldives where the proposal all went down.

Congrats to the beautiful couple! and for New Years it has been reported they will be spending it at The Pearl at the Palms in Las Vegas where he will be performing.

50 Cent portrays a burned victim in his latest video for They Burned Me. He gets personal and talks about his life and how different situations he was burned like for instance him and his baby mother not getting alonng saying this in his lyrics:

She called the cops on me cause I don’t love her like I used to…” and, “My son love me but she try to poison his mind”

He also explained via twitter a little behind the video

“They burned me, I held on to that long time its personal but now everyone can see it. I’m over the issues on it I write better when I’m pain.”

With Frank Ocean’s successful mixtape, he decides to randomly drop more unheard of tracks and one of them being a track called 4 Tears. I really like this song, and I believe many fans do as well as I went on Youtube and there are already many youtube covers of the track.

Listen above.

… Because he was photo’d with his back to the camera of him and his friends and if I am not mistaken it is clearly a tat of Aaliyah on his back. We already know of Drake’s love for Aaliyah and her music as he wrote a letter to her on the anniversary of her death, recently was spotted with an earpiece of her face on it as she performed and now a tat on his back??

Has he taken it too far?? I mean at least he didn’t pull a foolish move like tattooing her name on his forehead like his crazed and deranged fan did.
