Andre 3000 Blocked Big Boi From Appearing On Frank Ocean’s “Pink Matter”

Atlanta rap group Outkast has been on hiatus since their 2003 Grammy Award winning album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. Fans have been waiting for Andre 3000 and Big Boi to reunite on a track almost had it on Frank Ocean‘s “Pink Matter.” However, Andre 3000 wasn’t having that.

The less eccentric half of Outkast, Big Boi, recently spoke to Rap Radar‘s Elliott Wilson about being kept from appearing on Frank Ocean’s debut album. Big Boi says Andre 3000 blocked him from adding a verse to “Pink Matter” because he didn’t want Outkast’s reunion song to be on anyone else’s project. Apparently, this isn’t the first time 3 Stacks has shut Big Boi out of contributing a verse to a song. Big Boi tweeted that Andre 3000 was the cause for him not appearing on T.I.s upcoming album.

Rumors?? Beyonce Wants Split with Matthew Kept Private in Lawsuit

Beyonce is being sued by a video game company for breach of contract and the company wants to know when Beyonce and her father Mathew Knowles stopped working together, but Beyonce is fighting tooth and nail against letting the information get out.

From The Hollywood Reporter: 

The videogame company suing Beyonce Knowles-Carter for allegedly walking away from a multi-million dollar deal to produce a game is demanding sensitive documents the singer wants kept private.

Plaintiff Gate Five is attempting to pursue documents describing Beyonce conversations with third parties, including Music World Artist Management, run by Beyonce’s father Mathew Knowles, who used to be her manager, and a man named Desiree Perez, who is said to be an employee at the New York’s 40/40 club, owned by the singer’s husband Jay-Z…

…For instance, on the subject of Music World, Beyonce’s camp insisted in one e-mail last May that the agency no longer represents the singer. Gate Five’s attorneys responded that it wants to see the documents to see “whether that was Music World’s understanding.”

Beyonce attorneys write that any requests for documents tied to Music World are “vague, overbroad, and entirely irrelevant to any issues in this case.”

The question of what documents need to be turned over is now in the judge’s hands.

Remember last year when Young Buck got collared by the IRSfor not paying taxes and was told they were going to auction off all his stuff – even his name.They did it…

The IRS auctioned off everything: clothes, jewelry, fur coats, flat screen TVs, video games, recording equipment, hard drives – all in an effort to settle Buck’s $200,000 tax bill. The auction brought in $53,000.

The highest selling item, Young Buck’s diamond encrusted 615 Cashville chain went for $12,000.00, which Buck promptly bragged on Twitter that he had bought back himself.

 
 

Chris Brown Involved in Bar Fight Over VIP


The other night in Cannes Chris Brown got into a brawl with security when they wouldn’t let him in VIP…

From NY Daily News

A source tells the Daily News the 23-year-old singer got into a heated argument at Gotha Nightclub in Cannes on Wednesday night with club security when he discovered his table wasn’t in the upstairs VIP area.

The eyewitness says as soon as Brown arrived at Gotha with an entourage of about 20 men and 10 women, including girlfriend Karrueche Tran, the scuffle began. The group, led by fellow musician Barry (Mijo) Bradford, walked up the stairs to the VIP area with some “huge bodyguards, and Brown right behind them, thinking that’s where their table would be,” says the insider.

Two security guards belonging to the club, however, blocked them, and Bradford became “angry and started punching and shoving the security. Then Chris and his bodyguards got involved and they were pushing and screaming at each other.”

The eyewitness in the VIP area says extra security was called in and even Paris Hilton’s private security — the heirhead was also partying at Gotha — stepped in to break up the fight. Finally, Brown and Bradford’s group was convinced to go to the table downstairs, where Brown began happily dancing on top of the couch and drinking Champagne straight from the bottle.
