Did Kanye West Really Make Taylor Swift Famous

Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift at the VMAs

Ranting rapper, Kanye West, fell afoul of singer, Taylor Swift, after he insane interrupted her Video Music Awards (VMA) speech a few years ago to robotically proclaim his boss wife, Beyonce, deserved the award more than she did. The rude and disrespectful act brought Swift to tears and created a huge backlash against West, who eventually apologized. His career has been blighted by the unwise interruption ever since.

Not one to let things go, West rehashed the madness by releasing a disrespectful track this month titled "Famous" from his botched album "The Life Of Pablo." The offending lyric by married West states, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that b**ch famous. I made that b*t*ch famous."

Taylor Swift, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian years later on speaking terms after his insulting VMA speech interruption 
 
Wow, West is really flattering himself and on so many levels. He must think he looks like Denzel Washington. Furthermore, he did not make Swift famous. I remember prior to Swift going mainstream, I saw her videos on the CMT network. Swift was known with a country music audience, just not mainstream. West's distasteful VMA  outburst created a scandal in the press that took her mainstream. However, he didn't make her famous. 

West claims his wife, Kim Kardashian and rvial Swift were okay with the song's inappropriate, adulterous lyrics. However, Swift went on stage and refuted his claims at the Grammys last week by stating, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your sucess, or take credit for your accomplishments or your FAME." It was a dig at West's aforementioned song "Fame."

West through another temper tantrum upon hearing her speech and stated, "I called Taylor. I played it. I said, 'Taylor,  I talked to my wife about it.' I said, 'How you feel about this line, Taylor?' She said 'Oh, Kanye, I like that line." Then she won an award and said something completely different. She's not cool no more. She had two seconds to be cool and she f****d it up." 

Side Bar: It's telling that Kanye didn't ambush a black woman on stage while she's accepting an award. The VMAs would have been scrambling to cut to commercial because a black woman would have, as the phrase goes, beat the black off him, then shoved the award right up his...

Lady Gaga Grammy Debacle Continues As Criticism Spreads And Family Of Natalie Cole Slam Snub


Lady Gaga as David Bowie

The Grammys are still being slammed over their telecast this past Sunday that suffered the lowest rating in 7-years. I did not watch the show (I'm boycotting them over giving copyright infringing artists Grammys), but I have read articles on the telecast and seen a clip on Twitter of Lady GaGa's tribute to the late music legend David Bowie. 


Lady Gaga as David Bowie

Lady GaGa can sing, but it would have been better had she not tried to dress like Bowie and franticly moved around the stage like an escaped mental patient. Bowie's performances were not like that. GaGa looked clumsy trying to be Bowie and the make up was amateurish and symmetrically uneven. They did not correctly recreate his look. Bowie simply didn't look that way.


Lady Gaga as David Bowie

The Grammy committee could have allowed Gaga to do ONE song not EIGHT, which led to other tributes being scrapped. They could have also invited Bowie's friends Mick Jagger and Grace Jones to America from England to do a tribute, as they knew him and are apart of that time in music, having lived it with him during their respective hay days. The Gaga tribute was very misguided and strange to the point it even offended Bowie's son.

The family of the late music legend, Natalie Cole, has slammed the Grammy committee for omitting a tribute to the singer who died last December. As stated in previous articles, I am not of the belief the snub was racially related, as the Grammys have given many awards to minorities over the years. 

David Bowie

I remember when I was a kid Cole dominated a Grammy telecast with the song "Unforgettable" winning multiple awards for her moving duet with her deceased dad, Nat King Cole. However, the Grammys scrapped a musical tribute to Cole and others because Gaga's overindulgent 7-minute set to Bowie that audiences deemed a big commercial for her sponsor Intel, took over the show.

 Gaga's set should have been shorter. As stated in the column on Monday, February 15, 2016, prior to the Grammys' airing "Even 30-seconds of a top song by each such as Cole'a 'Unforgettable' White's 'September' or 'After The Love Is Gone' Bowie's 'Let's Dance' and 'You Belong To The City' by Frey from the Miami Vice soundtrack." (Grammy Awards Slammed As Racist Over Excluding Black Stars From The Posthumous Musical Tribute Segment Of The Show)."

Natalie Cole won 9 Grammys in her career and received 21 nominations

No one would have been offended at such a montage and performance sequence. If they had closed out the tribute section with "After The Love Is Gone" people would have been tearful, due to the song's lyrics and tone indicating a goodbye (which audiences would be saying goodbye to the stars who had passed away). 

It should be noted, the Grammys reversed their position on Maurice White, as articles reveal a musical tribute to him was added and he was awarded a posthumous lifetime achievement award. However, no musical tribute was added for Cole and they really could have shaved some of GaGa's time to do so.

Natalie Cole's family 'outraged' over Grammy snub 
 
Wednesday 17 February 2016 04.20 EST Last modified on Wednesday 17 February 2016 04.24 EST - Natalie Cole’s family have shared their disappointment following the “disrespectful tribute, or lack thereof” for the late singer at the Grammy awards this week. While Cole, who died on 31 December, was acknowledged during a short “in memoriam” montage to artists who died in the previous year, members of her family have said she deserved a longer homage. 

Cole’s sisters Timolin and Casey, told ET Online: “Words cannot express the outrage and utter disappointment at the disrespectful tribute, or lack thereof, to a legendary artist such as our sister.” “Here is a woman who has been in the business for four decades, had 21 Grammy nominations and won nine Grammys,” the singer’s son, Robert Adam Yancy, said. “She deserves more than [to be a part of] a minute-and-a-half tribute.” Yancy called the Grammy’s brief tribute “shameless”, in light of individual performances during the ceremony that were dedicated to David Bowie, the Eagles’ Glenn Frey and BB King...

BET Awards Has Chris Brown Performing Many Times And Diddy Accidentally Falling Into A Hole On Stage

Yes, It's That Time Of Year Again - The EBT Awards (LOL)

 

Chris Brown

BET network (Black Entertainment Television) put on a big awards show yesterday to honor the top talent in black music. To show black people are good sports, the award for best new artist went to white British singer, Sam Smith, who had a big year due to his hit song "Stay With Me." The man of the night was R&B singer Chris Brown, who won two awards and was featured on so many artists' songs this year, he ended up on stage performing throughout the night. It was the Chris Brown Awards show.

 
 

Diddy in the hole
Gospel sensation Donnie McClurkin also turned in a rousing performance at the show that is watched by millions around the world. Being the smart aleck I am, one of the top highlights of the night for me was seeing rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs fall into a hole on the stage during his performance. The way he just falls out of view is hysterical. Music and comedy all in one night (LOL).


Rihanna with duct tape

Side Bar: why was Rihanna sitting in the audience fiddling with duct tape. It gave rise to jokes on Twitter that she was planning to kidnap Karrueche Tran, her rival for the affections of singer, Chris Brown, whom she publicly referred to as the love of her life. You know, kidnapping is wrong and will not solve her problems - by the way, has anyone seen Karrueche since (LOL)!

Karrueche Tran’s Online Series 'The Bay' Wins Emmy Award


Karrueche Tran at the daytime Emmys, much to Rihanna's fans chagrin

Aspiring model and actress, Karrueche Tran, became famous for being singer Chris Brown’s girlfriend. Tran is now making a name for herself as a model and actress. Tran’s online series "The Bay" has won a daytime Emmy award. Tran took to Twitter and Instagram and posted about the show's win and how excited she is to be apart of it.


Karrueche smiling on the red carpet at the daytime Emmys

Some of the fans of Tran's rival Rihanna have been very nasty to Tran online, calling her terrible names. They constantly claim she is a nobody. I have to ask them again, which show were you on that won an Emmy? In the meantime, Brown continues to pine after Tran after she dumped him for fathering a baby with another woman during their relationship. Tran is still hurt over his cheating.

Kanye West Slams Beck For Winning Grammy Stating Beyonce Should Have Won It


Kanye West and Beck

Rapper/producer, Kanye West, went on another one of his notorious rants at the Grammy Awards and it simply was not funny. Last time Kanye lashed out at singer Taylor Swift for winning a Grammy award over his friend Beyonce. This time he insulted Beck for beating Beyonce. Ironically, Beck has more talent as a musician than Kanye and Beyonce. Kanye had the nerve to go on a rant about real artistry and how it is lacking at the Grammys, when he is a known copyright thief, who has been sued by over a dozen people in America for stealing their music.

The majority of Kanye's music is either stolen from newer writers and producers or sampled from old school songs. Some samples he didn't even bother to clear, stealing music from dead musicians, who called him out for this disgraceful behavior. That's not genius. That's theft. It's also illegal, as copyright infringement is a federal crime.

So please, do the public a favor and sit down. The mere fact you keep interrupting people's speeches and stating they should not have won, says you have a mental problem. Stop being Jay Z's lapdog. You're sounding really brainwashed at this point, like a crazy cult member.

Kanye wasn’t joking, tells E! that ‘Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to BeyoncĂ©’

By Emily Yahr February 9 at 12:50 AM - Beck watches Kanye West, who “pretended” to take the stage after Beck won album of the year for “Morning Phase.” During a very gloomy Grammy Awards, the Internet perked up when Kanye West appeared to pull a Kanye West and stormed the stage in protest of BeyoncĂ© not winning one of the biggest prizes of the night — album of the year — which went to Beck for “Morning Phase.”

KANYE THA GOD. https://t.co/8x42pDTmWT — Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) February 9, 2015
However, Kanye grinned, his wife Kim Kardashian grinned; even Jay Z and BeyoncĂ© looked mildly horrified but eventually started laughing. It was all a big joke, right? Uh, maybe not. A few minutes after the ceremony ended, Kanye stopped by E!’s Grammy after-show with Kim and shared his true feelings about Beck’s win over Queen Bey. The gist: He was not pleased.

“Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to BeyoncĂ©,” he said, adding: “Y’all know what it meant when ‘Ye walked on the stage.” [Beck was a poorly chosen target for Kanye's rant about 'artistry']. So, looks like he wasn’t so happy. We can’t really capture Kanye’s thoughts (who could?) so instead, here’s his entire rant (this one definitely qualifies as a rant) in which he questions the entire point of the Grammy Awards:

I just know that the Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain’t gonna play with them no more. “Flawless,” BeyoncĂ© video. And Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to BeyoncĂ© and at this point, we tired of it. Because what happens is when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in the face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you’re disrespectful to inspiration. And we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day. And they listen to that BeyoncĂ© album and they feel like it takes them to another place. Then they do this whole promotional event, that, you know, they’ll run the music over somebody’s speech, the artist, because they want a commercial advertising. Like no, we not playing with them no more. And by the way, I got my wife, I got my daughter, and I got my clothing line so I’m not going to do nothing to put my daughter at risk — but I am here to fight for creativity. That’s the reason why I didn’t say anything tonight. But y’all know what it meant when ‘Ye walked on the stage.

Rihanna Mocks And Laughs At Arianna Grande During Her Performance Due To Her Relationship With Chris Brown


Rihanna

Mean and malicious Rihanna, 25, derisively laughed during a performance by fellow singer Ariana Grande at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. Pop culture websites noted Rihanna's derisive laughter during Grande's performance. I don't know why she's laughing. At least Grande can sing, which can't be said for her.

 

Ariana Grande

Rihanna's reaction to Grande is most likely due to the 20-year-old singer having closely worked with Chris Brown, the love of Rihanna's life, who broke up with her and went back to model Karrueche Tran. Rihanna is still in love with Brown, who is currently in jail and video footage of the project he did with Grande, getting very close to her, made Rihanna jealous.

Katy Perry Slammed For Being A Devil Worshipper



Katy Perry's satanic performance at the Grammys

A number of websites and people on Twitter are slamming Katy Perry's Grammy Awards performance as satanic. Last year, Perry, whose parents are preachers, denounced her conduct labeling her "a devil child." A week before Perry's performance on the Grammys, I identified her as a member of the Kabbalah Center, Hollywood's "Illuminati" which is a Satanic cult.

 

Her Grammy performance this past Sunday was a tribute to the devil, replete with Satanic crosses and a bamophet, both symbols of devil worship. If she wants to take that negative, toxic route in her personal life to her own detriment, that's her business, but why expose people's innocent children to it via an awards show telecast at a respectable hour when kids are watching. It was thoughtless and sent a terrible message.

Side Bar: why does Katy Perry keep stealing hits by well-known artists as well as lesser known musicians. Perry flat out stole "California Girls" by the Beach Boys as well as "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor. She is stealing and selling her soul to the devil for a career that will not last, tied to a sick cult, the Kabbalah Center, who are under criminal investigation by the federal government.

Christian Singer Walks Out on Grammys After ‘Satanic’ Performances


Katy Perry conducts bizarre witchcraft ceremony during event

January 27, 2014 - Popular Christian gospel singer Natalie Grant walked out of the Grammys after witnessing a series of performances that even the mainstream entertainment media admitted were occult in nature. Grant, who was nominated for two Grammys last night, tweeted her excitement upon arriving at the event but soon made it clear that she left early because what she witnessed conflicted with her Christian beliefs, stating, “We left the Grammy’s early. I’ve many thoughts, most of which are probably better left inside my head. But I’ll say this: I’ve never been more honored to sing about Jesus and for Jesus. And I’ve never been more sure of the path I’ve chosen.” 

Although she remained coy on the exact circumstances, Grant was probably referring to Katy Perry, who was surrounded by demons as she danced around an upside down broomstick before being encircled by fire during a performance of her song “Dark Horse”. Perry wore clothing bearing an illuminated Knights Templar cross.

Even E! Online tweeted that Perry’s performance resembled “actual witchcraft”. Christian music website BreatheCast complained that Perry’s performance was “filled with satanic imagery and witchcraft.” Viewers also expressed their shock at the occult overtones of the show.

The 2014 Grammy Awards: Still Pushing the Illuminati Agenda 

January 29, 2014 - The 2014 Grammy Awards featured a black magic witchcraft ritual disguised as a Katy Perry performance. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. This has been going on for years. We’ll look at the Illuminati Agenda pushed in the 2014 Grammy Awards. 

This year’s Grammy Awards apparently had something for everyone. While old-school rockers might have enjoyed seeing Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson and Metallica performing live, it is the current industry puppets who reach the youth. And it is their performances that are riddled with symbolism and messages. Unlike the older singers, the performances given by BeyoncĂ©, Katy Perry, and even Mackelmore, were not strictly about the music. Their performances were vehicles to push the Illuminati-sponsored Agenda.

For years, I’ve been stating that music awards ceremonies are a celebration of what the Illuminati industry stands for, as their choreographed format offers the industry an opportunity to imprint the collective mind with specific messages and symbolism. After each award season, I notice a growing number of people realizing that something is “off” with the music industry and that it promotes a specific set of values and attitudes. Is the public getting wiser or is it just all becoming too obvious to ignore? Whether the case may be, the show prompted people such as Former University of Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron to tweet:

Even E! Online tweeted during the show: Let’s look at the lowlights (a term I coined because that’s pretty much what I do on this site) of the 2014 Grammy Awards.

The awards began with Beyoncé singing the words:
I’ve been drinking, I’ve been drinking
I get filthy when that liquor get into me
I’ve been thinking, I’ve been thinking
Why can’t I keep my fingers off it, baby?...

Katy Perry the Witch

The most blatant part of the awards was undoubtedly Katy Perry’s performance, which was so blatant it even caused many “non-aware” viewers to be disturbed by its satanic undertones. The performance began with a sinister voice saying:

“She casts spells from crystal balls. Invoking spirits. She put me in a trance.”
Inside a crystal ball, Perry sings while four horned demon-like figures rise above her.
Some of the sinister figures have Baphomet-like horns.

Katy then gets out of the crystal ball moves around with her backup dancers, remotely controlling them as if they were under her spell.

Seeing the performance, we quickly understand that the song is not about love but being under occult possession.

The chorus of the song basically reflects what happens to those accepting dark pacts … not unlike most of the successful people in the entertainment industry who were in the audience.

So you wanna play with magic
Boy you should know what you’re fallin’ for
Baby do you dare to do this
‘Cause I’m comin’ at you like a dark horse

Then Katy apparently summons a dark horse – is it a reference to the dark horse of the Apocalypse?
The dark horse's bluish color, musculature and glowing red eyes are striking similar to another horse seen on this site: The "devil horse" of the Denver International Airport.  

Katy then dances around a witch’s broom-turned-stripper pole for a while. To complete the ritual, her backup dancers light up a circle of fire around her.

Fire around Katy while the horned figures watch over her.

The glowing red cross on Perry's dress is very similar to the red cross of the Knights Templar.
The Knights Templar were a medieval occult secret society that is considered to be the originator of Freemasonry, the Bavarian Illuminati and the keepers of the secrets of sex-magick as practiced by Crowley’s O.T.O.. The Knights Templar were prosecuted due to their alleged worshiping of Baphomet and for practicing of witchcraft. Perry wearing their cross is therefore very fitting. It also represents the occult elite’s philosophy as a whole.

The cover art of Dark Horse features an All-Seeing Eye at the top, signaling that this is sponsored by the occult elite. Also, the bird and the cage hint to the occult mind control elements of the song...

Beyonce Being Called A 'Whore' Over Her 'Nasty' Grammy Performance


Beyonce slammed in major newspaper

Uh oh! It seems singer Beyonce left very little to the imagination at the Grammy Awards this past Sunday and repulsed viewers in the process, who flooded social networking with comments calling her "nasty" "dirty" "slut" "slore" "desperate" "disgusting" "tacky" "a hot mess" and a "trick" among other insults.

The Metro newspaper in London, read by millions, branded Beyonce a "whore" in its headline, for her performance of the disgraceful song "Drunk In Love" with her husband, rapper, Jay-Z. Beyonce, who stole the look of labelmate Ciara for the performance, tried to dance like a stripper, but was bashed online as "stiff." 


Someone tweeted this funny photo comparison

Beyonce also had wardrobe malfunctions of all her private parts, in the ill-fitting see through outfit she wore that was also panned by audiences. Many parents slammed Knowles online for her overtly sexual performance, which occurred early enough in the night for kids to watch it.

People did not want their children to be exposed to the couple's lewd performance, rejected by many as a publicity stunt (while Jay-Z cheats on her left, right and center). Beyonce is desperate for sales and publicity, two of which have slowed down significantly. However, this was not the way to get it. Furthermore, the music should do the talking, not your butt (and other private parts).

Thanks To Miley Cyrus’ Butt Bouncing VMAs Performance The Word ‘Twerk’ Lands In The Dictionary


Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus 

The word "twerk" has twerked its way into the Oxford dictionary, thanks to singer Miley Cyrus’ raunchy Video Music Awards performance this past Sunday. Twerking is essentially shaking one’s backside, like one is on stage at a strip club challenging the honor and integrity of one’s family in clear sight of the public.

Cyrus has been hit with a significant amount of criticism for her r-rated performance (r is for "ratchet" another slang word that's scaring and scarring many, which could also hit the dictionary). The VMAs is proving a turning point in Cyrus' career, but sadly not for the better, as now she is known for strip club antics, rather than her acting and singing abilities.

Iggy Azalea Turned The VMAs Into The Video Munchies Awards


Iggy Azalea (top far right tearing up a buffalo wing)

The VMAs stands for Video Music Awards. Up and coming rapper Iggy Azalea turned it into the Video Munchies Awards. The camera caught her twice having Buffalo wings and then red velvet cake. Azalea was also a presenter during the ceremony, which clearly caused her to work up an appetite.


Iggy showing a piece of red velvet cake some love 

 Azalea's debut album has been repeatedly delayed as she searches for the right deals. In the mean time, she has become fodder on blogs for getting around with male rappers, one of whom is married. It's not a good start to her budding career and could nip it in the bud with audiences. 

Robin Thicke's Mom Slams Miley Cyrus For Gyrating On Her Son At The VMAs


Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus, reaching out to touch his crotch with a foam finger

Singer and actress, Gloria Loring, has slammed 20-year-old former Disney star gone wild, Miley Cyrus, for gyrating on her son, Robin Thicke, 36, at last night's Video Music Awards. Cyrus is being heavily criticized today by many for rubbing against Thicke and touching his crotch on stage.


Loring stated, "I don't understand what Miley Cyrus is trying to do. I think she's misbegotten in this attempt of hers. And I think it was not beneficial. "I didn't get what her point was. It was so over the top as to almost be a parody of itself."


I missed the VMAs, but saw a clip of the aforementioned performance on Twitter today and it went too far. As usual, the VMAs are pushing the boundaries for television ratings, rather than focusing on talent, music and creative videos. It was inappropriate turning the awards ceremony into a strip show, especially so early in the night with kids watching, but even worse that it was done with a woman just out of her teens and a married man. It was disrespectful to his wife.

 

Will Smith and family were stunned. Little Jaden Smith (left) looked like his eyes had been violated (LOL)

Miley has a nice voice and entertaining comedic acting skills. She didn't need to do this (no one does for that matter). This is not the kind of attention an artist should want. It's the type untalented ones like Madonna crave and hound, as there exists no ability behind their name to attract real applause for their works. Cyrus can do better.


Robin Thicke, his mom Gloria Loring, wife Paula Patton and don Julian

Parents groups and ironically a number of celebrities have panned the performance. Once again, another former Disney star is going in the wrong direction and it is sad. The government needs to investigate what they are doing to these kids at Disney, why they fly off the rails more than most when they hit adulthood.


In other news, Robin Thicke was seen grabbing the behind of a woman at the VMAs when he thought the camera wasn't watching. However a mirror picked up the whole thing and he has some explaining to do, you know, especially considering he's married and all...

Parents Television Council isn't happy with Miley Cyrus' VMAs performance

Aug 26, 2013 at 1:53PM - One group of people definitely not happily twerking alongside Miley Cyrus? The Parents Television Council, who have released a statement condemning her VMA performance. "MTV has once again succeeded in marketing sexually charged messages to young children using former child stars and condom commercials — while falsely rating this program as appropriate for kids as young as 14. This is unacceptable," said PTC Director of Public Policy Dan Isett in a release.

"This much is absolutely clear: MTV marketed adults-only material to children while falsely manipulating the content rating to make parents think the content was safe for their children. MTV continues to sexually exploit young women by promoting acts that incorporate ‘twerking’ in a nude-colored bikini. How is this image of former child star Miley Cyrus appropriate for 14-year-olds? How is it appropriate for children to watch Lady Gaga strip down to a bikini in the opening act? How is it appropriate for 14-year-olds to see a condom commercial and a promo for an R-rated movie during the first commercial break?"

"This content would likely not be given a forum if it were on a broadcast network," the statement continued. "Yet MTV continues to push limits because it’s a cable network. But that does not mean MTV’s decisions have no consequences, especially for the millions of children who were targeted by MTV. We urge Congress to pass the Television Consumer Freedom Act which will give parents and consumers a real solution for future MTV VMA programs – the ability to choose and pay for cable networks that they want vs. having to pay for networks they don’t want. After MTV’s display last night, it’s time to give control back to consumers."

Rihanna Acts Out Over Chris Brown Taking Karrueche Tran To The BET Awards


Karrueche Tran and Chris Brown

Vulcan forehead singer, Rihanna, once again acted out after it was revealed on and off again boyfriend Chris Brown showed model Karrueche Tran some form of public affection. As reported on the site yesterday, Brown took Tran to the BET Awards this past weekend (also humorous known as the EBT awards among folks in the blogosphere).

The next day, attention addicted Rihanna tried to make Brown jealous by releasing a poorly lit "twerking" video directed at Brown’s rival Drake. "Twerking" is basically whining and gyrating in a lewd manner on camera for attention. Enough with that trend already – furthermore how did it make a comeback after being moderately popular several years ago. What are folks going to bring back next? Bell bottoms.


Rihanna

But back to Rihanna’s attempts at making Brown jealous – this is the second time she has tried this in the past few weeks and he’s still with Tran. Plan A clearly is not working. Tran has managed to spend more time with him than Rihanna has this and last year.

The Bet Awards Tests The Boundaries Of What Can Be Called Music


Rapper "Trinidad James"

The BET Awards yesterday, had its good moments and a few bad ones. Some great gospel music was played. Songs by talented R&B singers was featured on the show as well. However, some of the songs by select rap artists and a few R&B stars, really should not be classified as music. Soulless songs with nothing behind them. Future generations will not get anything out of such music. Truthfully, I struggled to understand some of the words.


Hosts Bow Wow and Angela Simmons, interviewed rapper French Montana 

One rapper, who is often criticized for his music is Chief Keef - the 17-year-old felon whose rap sheet with the police is longer than his actual lyrical rap sheet. BET did not invite the rapper to the show, which led to him launching into a tirade on Instagram, filled with expletives. He threatened that if he had been at the awards he would have snatched chains and impregnated women.


Chief Keef

Keef is making things harder for himself. He is making himself a target for the police and the Feds with his flamboyance and testing social boundaries. He needs to rein that in or mark my words, someone in the government is going to get him. Calm down. You are on their radar and when you hit 18, arrests will be in a whole new category.

Chris Brown Takes Karrueche Tran To The BET Awards Replacing Rihanna


Karrueche Tran and Chris Brown

Rihanna has been replaced in singer Chris Brown's life. Just months ago music model Rihanna accompanied Brown to the Grammys, the scene of their infamous fist fight. This past weekend, Brown replaced Rihanna with girlfriend Karrueche Tran at the BET Awards.

The two have been making appearances all over America, showing everyone they are indeed back together, despite Rihanna's efforts to derail their relationship. Rihanna continues to engage in social networking stunts in trying to make Brown jealous. However, one can't make someone jealous who doesn't seem to care.

 

Rihanna

Rihanna is in quite a predicament, as the one man she truly wants is the one she can't keep and people do not want to her to have, due to their rocky past. But give it time, she is going to go back to sneaking around trying to get back with Brown.

Singer Miguel Facing Lawsuit From Audience Member He Kicked In The Head



Bruce Lee he is not. You need a helmet to go to a Miguel show.

This month at the Billboard Music Awards, singer Miguel decided he could fly and jumped over a portion of the audience while singing on stage. He ended up landing on the head of an audience member, while kicking another one. The woman whose head ended up face down on the stage staggered away.


The woman he accidentally karate kicked in the head, Khyati Shah, is now talking about suing the singer, retaining an attorney to represent her in any potential legal action. Miguel referred to her as "my new friend" knowing this day was coming when she'd want to sue.

A young woman has met with doctors and lawyers following an incident on 20 May, when the singer accidentally kicked her in the head during a performance at the Billboard awards.

A misjudged leap meant that Miguel crashed into two fans in the Billboard awards audience, slamming their bodies into the stage floor. Although Miguel finished the song, he immediately tried to make it up to Khyati Shah, the woman who suffered the brunt of his mistake. Meeting up backstage, he described the icepack-clutching victim as "a new friend"...

Chris Brown Kissed Karrueche Tran At The Billboard Awards While Rihanna Dined Alone (Video)



According to Hollywood Life, Chris Brown was spotted kissing model Karrueche Tran, his date for the Billboard Awards, while Rihanna skipped the show and dined across town alone. Much to the rage of the Rihanna navy dinghy, Brown has rekindled his romance with Tran, a woman who has stuck by him through much.

However, it is just a matter of time before Rihanna tries to break them up again. But things are still on the up for Tran, who recently auditioned for a project, after landing several modeling assignments this year. Brown has been very supportive of her career, as she has been the same regarding him.

Trouble could be brewing for Brown as Hollywood life is reporting his enemy Drake and fellow rapper and critic Jay-Z are in the studio together and may make a diss track about the R&B singer. Considering Brown is the type that doesn't care, he will respond in kind with a track of his own if they take it there. Will Brown pull a Nas and go for Jay-Z's jugular. Stay tuned...

Why Justin Bieber Was Booed At The Billboard Awards (Video)


Pop singer Justin Bieber received a lesson yesterday in how fickle the music industry can be when he was loudly booed at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, after being presented with the Milestone Award. The diminutive 19-year-old star stated, "I'm an artist and I should be taken seriously." The irony is, had Bieber not been a teen pop star, with his musical abilities, such as playing guitar and the drums, critics would take him more seriously for his artistry.

However, traditionally, with the way the music history and the industry has worked, teen pop stars, including boybands, are rarely commended for artistry and usually have a short career span. The New Kids On The Block were a big teen pop sensation in the late 1980s and early 1990s, selling even more records that Bieber has today, but their fame ended overnight, due to their demographic moving on to the next trend.

For a teen pop star to enter adulthood with a successful career embraced by the public and critics alike, it takes a really savvy manager with an understanding of music history (it rarely happens). Certain career moves must be avoided, thinking of the long run as opposed to short term gains.
