RadioOnFire.com - Chris Brown's friendship with Migos member Quavo is reportedly on the rocks because of Karrueche Tran. According to TMZ, Brown feels betrayed because he supported Quavo both professionally and personally before he found fame.
Brown even recently told Billboard that Migos members Quavo, Offset and Takeoff were "real friends and brothers." Adding, "I will never hate on you n*****." Now he's angry at Tran's alleged new lover. Sources close to Brown told TMZ that while the singer was helping to promote Migos' most recent album, "Culture," Tran and Quavo were already dating without his knowledge.
Brown believes that his ex's filing of a restraining order against him in February was done so that she and Quavo could carry on their relationship without any interference, while making "him look like a chump."
Tran and Brown dated on-and-off from 2011 to 2016, before she broke things off for good upon learning he had fathered a child with another woman while they were together.

The former Apprentice contestant-turned-Trump liaison tied the knot with Dr. John Allen Newman, a pastor from Florida.

RadioOnFire.com - After five years of marriage and three months of co-parenting their infant son, Janet Jackson and her billionaire husband Wissam Al Mana have reportedly agreed to go their separate ways.
Jackson and Al Mana started 2017 on a good foot, with January 3 marking the birth of young Eissa, months after the Jackson family star made headlines by announcing that she was pregnant at the age of 50. According to sources close to the family, however, their marriage was already strained, albeit they are said to be parting on relatively good terms.
Jackson reportedly plans to locate herself in London, where she will raise Eissa. Al Mana is expected to remain in the child's life, but it remains to be seen whether or not the divorce process will hinder communication between Jackson and the 42-year-old business magnate, who is worth four times as much as her and could be forced to pay big bucks in child support and alimony.

21st Century Fox continues to stand by the hypocrite Bill O'Reilly. He recently released a book about morals and values.

RadioOnFire.com - Dave Chappelle has been back to touring the stand-up circuit for more than three years now but will be returning to television with two of the three specials he signed on with Netflix to deliver for a whopping $60 million, on Tuesday. It will be the second time Chappelle graces TV land since his 2004 stand-up special, "Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth," after he returned to the tube for the first time in 12 years to host the post-presidential election Saturday Night Live episode, back in November.
In an effort to promote the pair of exclusive gigs, Chappelle sat down with CBS This Morning host Gayle King on Monday, March 20, for an interview during which they discussed his classic SNL slot, as well as some comments she confronted him about having made concerning a couple of current Comedy Central actors who've been busy filling the void he left in his absence.
Chappelle made headlines back in October when during his emceeing duties at the Roots Picnic music festival in Bryant Park, New York City, he took a jab at Key & Peele actors Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. "Put some respect on my name. You guys don't know what I've been through. Watching Key and Peele do my show for the last five f***ing years," Dave said to chuckles from the crowd. King made reference to the joke on Monday, and he obliged in addressing the remarks, stating that he is a fan of the show. But Dave followed up the affirmation by inferring that it is because of his having broken the mold, regarding what is possible for mainstream sketch comedy, that fans of the show are crediting it with what he feels was his innovation.
“I fought the network very hard so that those conventions could come to fruition. So, like the first episode I do, that black, white supremacist sketch. And it’s like, ‘Well, that’s 10 minutes long. It should be five minutes long.’ Why should it be five minutes long? Like, these types of conventions. I fought very hard," said Dave. "So when I watch Key & Peele and I see they’re doing a format that I created, and at the end of the show, it says, ‘Created by Key & Peele,’ that hurts my feelings."
Fans will forever recall how after three ground breaking seasons, Chappelle suddenly abandoned his show, and the Comedy Central network altogether, after being offered what at the time was an unprecedented $50 million extension. Chappelle would return from his bizarre hiatus with an attempt to explain his leave during a classic interview with Gayle's long time friend, Oprah Winfrey. "I wasn't crazy, but it is incredibly stressful," Chappelle told Oprah, dispelling rumors that ranged from him being heavily into drugs, to his having had a mental breakdown. "I felt in a lot of instances I was deliberately being put through stress because when you're a guy who generates money, people have a vested interested in controlling you."
RadioOnFire.com - Spike Lee took to social media over the weekend, to express his dismay over how much time has passed in the NFL off season without a team having publicly come forward to invite Colin Kaepernick to consider an offer.
"How Is It That There Are 32 NFL Teams And Kap Is Still A Free Agent? WTF. Smells MAD Fishy To Me,Stinks To The High Heavens," Lee wrote, in a message he wrote in the caption of a photo of he and Colin that he posted to Instagram on Sunday, March 19. The legendary Brooklyn reared filmmaker shared that he had just spent the morning in New York City's Little Italy enjoying brunch with the former San Francisco 49'ers quarterback, only one day before celebrating his 60th birthday. The meet-up had him reflecting on Kaepernick's fate, following a season throughout which he took a stand against police violence, by taking a knee during the National Anthem performance that preceded each game. "This Is Some Straight Up Shenanigans,Subterfuge, Skullduggery And BS," he wrote.
Bleacher Report recently cited that sources divulged to them that 70% of NFL general managers "hate" Kaepernick for the stance he took, and that word around the executives' circle is that is unemployable. Lee was able to think of one team that is desperate enough to try their hand at the speedy play caller. If it were up to him, Kaepernick would be coming to New York. "The New York J-E-T-S Need A Quarterback. Who Is The J-E-T-S Quarterback? Is My Man Joe Willie Namath Coming Back? Crazy Times We Live In. The Question Remains What Owner And GM Is Going To Step Up And Sign Colin So Their Team Has A Better Chance To WIN?" he wrote.

"I feel bad for him," Beckford told Cohen. "Drugs is a motherf***er. I think he really needs to check himself for that. It's probably out of his control, but it is what it is." Source: toofab.com
