Bobby Brown found himself in the news after his sister claimed that the R&B singer was injured in a hit and run incident. However, a statement from Brown’s legal team denounced the sister’s claims and that the RBRM star is in good health.

Leolah Brown Muhammad, Brown’s sister, posted on Facebook a lengthy message on Sunday (August 25) that her brother was hit and suffering from a bevy of injuries.

From Facebook:

Yes Bobby Brown got hit by a SPEEDING car WHILE WALKING! And NO he was NOT in a car accident! This car CAME STRAIGHT FOR HIM & TRIED TO DAM KILL HIM! Broke his bones! BOTH his legs are messed up! And whoevers saying he was inside of a car IS A DAM LIAR! My brother was WALKING down the street AND A CAR CAME STRAIGHT FOR HIM!!! AND HIT HIM TO KILL HIM!! THEY REPORT EVERY DAM THING ELSE HE’S EVER DONE IN HIS DAM LIFE! SO WHY DID NOT ANYONE INCLUDING HIS SO CALLED WIFE GO TO THE PRESS WITH THAT ONE!!?? WHY DID YOU NOT WANT THAT TO LEAK OUT!!??

In response, Brown’s team issued the following statement:

There are reports circulating that Bobby Brown was hit by a car over the weekend and substantially injured both his legs. The reports are false and Bobby Brown was in Los Angeles enjoying time with his family this weekend. Mr. Brown was not struck by a vehicle over the weekend and statements from Leolah Brown to the contrary are fake news. RBRM (Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky & Mike) are preparing to tour Japan and Australia in October 2019 and Bobby Brown will be looking to reconnect with his fans in those countries.

Welp, hope that settles everything and that Bobby Brown is truly okay.

Authorities Say Document Saying 50 Cent Snitched Were Fabricated

Celebrity Sightings In New York City - May 09, 2019

Source: Gotham / Getty

Once again the decade-old allegations of 50 Cent being Hip-Hop’s Big Head Rico (Belly reference) have been shot down. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the document circulating the internet which names 50 Cent as the dime dropper behind Jimmy Henchman’s arrest is indeed a fake.

The document in question named Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as the Sprint man who pointed feds in the direction of his old nemesis, Jimmy Henchman for the 2009 murder of 50’s homie, Lodi Jackson.

Having already fended off rumors that he had sic’d the feds on Irv Gotti and Murder Inc at the beginning of his multi-platinum career on Shady/Aftermath Records, the new allegation seemed more believable than not to his most staunch haters. But in a twist straight out of a Martin Scorsese movie, Fif took to social media to show paperwork which insinuated that OG Jimmy Henchman was actually a “Frank Castello” type street snitch himself!

But regardless of what 50 might’ve turned up, his reputation of running to po-9 to take down his enemies is well documented in Hip-Hop via rumors and records by rival rappers, but by the looks of things, it seems like this most recent one was a complete farce.

In the doc, it says 50 called in anonymously at first to say the cops should be looking into Jimmy as a possible suspect for Lodi’s murder … and allegedly went on to tell cops that he was afraid for his own life in the aftermath. The doc says 50 told cops he’d cooperate with the investigation

Thing is … we’ve been told the document is a complete fake. Law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of Lodi and Jimmy’s case tell us … the alleged report was never taken, and 50 was never recorded as having talked to officers working on the matter at the time.

This probably still won’t be enough to convince his biggest skeptics that he’s never cooperated with feds to take down his enemies but if we’ve learned anything over the past few decades it’s that nothing can keep 50 from laughing and trolling his rivals all the way to the bank.

News Of Jay-Z Setting Up $15M Trust Fund For Nipsey Hussle’s Kids Proven False

Nipsey Hussle Grammy Celebration

Source: Shareif Ziyadat / Getty

The loss of Nipsey Hussle is still sending shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry, and, like clockwork, the chatter surrounding the family of the slain West Coast star has been high. In a widely circulated report suggesting Jay-Z set up a $15 million trust fund for Hussle’s two children, the news was shortly debunked.


Times Live
reports:

Music fans around the world were ready to create a petition to give Jay-Z an honourary knighthood after reports surfaced on Wednesday evening that the mogul had created a R212m trust fund for the children of Nipsey Hussle.

Nipsey, who died earlier this week in LA, left behind two children.

While tributes poured in for him and prayers have been offered for him an article spread like wildfire on social media, claiming that Jay-Z had stepped in to make sure Nipsey’s kids would be alright.

A snap of the article’s headline was circulated but soon proven to be from a random hip-hop blog that was created mainly to sell advertising and spread sensationalist news.

Even though dozens of Twitter users warned about the reports, the streets were still filled with messages praising Jay.

Here’s one time we wished fake news was real. Not for nothing, it isn’t like Hov couldn’t do something like this. Just saying.

Check out some of the reactions to this news on Twitter below.

Eminem Stans Put Video Editing Skills to Use Against MGK

The war of words between white rappers continues. Machine Gun Kelly embraces his role as the “Rap Devil.” While opening for Fall Out Boy in Orlando, Florida this past weekend MGK chose to agitate the situation.

Aside from rocking Eminem’s “Killshot” artwork on a t-shirt, which bares Kelly’s face in between crosshairs. Kelly thought performing his “Rap Devil” diss track would hype the crowd, indeed it did.

However, some loyal Eminem Stans didn’t appreciate the slick shots. As a result, they put their slick video editing skills to work. Taking a clip from Sunday’s show, they mixed in the audio of a disgruntled crowd. In fact, their editing skills were so slick that various outlets are running the story as if it actually occurred.

In the edited video, MGK  could barely be heard over the echoing boo’s. Still, we can hear him say, “Fuck Marshall Mathers. “It was almost like his microphone wasn’t on while the band attempted to play through the heckling crowd.

Whether you’re an established core entity like The Source or a fan looking to get the latest news, don’t believe everything you read and here. Follow up, do your own research/ fact check. This simple task should be applied anytime you get news which you were not present to witness or you don’t have access to first-hand accounts.

Although some fans did really have animosity towards Kelly.  MGK posted a live photo of himself with the crowd behind him via Instagram. He claimed “He missed” as the photo caption. Suggesting that Em’s kill shot was closer to a leg shot, he stood confidently with his middle finger raised high. Thousands of people behind, middle fingers to the ceiling.

some of those fans who packed into the Amway Center are eager to talk about why he invited them to unknowingly participate in a stunt when he knows they weren’t feeling his energy. They voiced their opinions in the comment section of the photo and on Twitter.

On “Killshot,” Em proclaimed “I’d rather be 80-year-old me, than 20-year-old you.” Marshall Mathers has lived to actually experience being hated and still rise to the occasion.

“I’ve been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage. But I kept rhymin’ and stepped right in the next cypher.”

In conclusion, the Stans are slicker than Rick, check the facts.
