Video: Trey Songz pulls a T.I. on a fan

Trey Songz pulls a T.I. on a fan who threw ice at him during a performance in a nightclub. Unlike T.I., Trey jumped into the audience and delivered an R&B ass whuppin’. Afterwards, Trey apologizes to the ladies for his ungentlemanly behavior. Good for Trey.

Official statement from Omarion: ‘Raz B is lying’

Omarion has released a statement calling former band member Raz B a liar. Of course you will believe what you want to but I choose to believe Omarion.

There is no evidence to support the allegations made by Raz B – a man who has made outlandish allegations in the past.

It’s amazing to me that the same people who are calling for Chris Stoke‘s head will run to buy a concert ticket to see R. Kelly who video taped his criminal acts upon a minor.

The official statement from Omarion’s publicist 5WPR:

Below please find a statement from Omarion regarding the accusations against Chris Stokes made by Demario “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo Thorton.”I want to be on the record as saying that “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo Thorton are lying regarding Chris Stokes. Chris is a father figure to myself, and many others in the industry. He’s guided us, helped raised us and is nothing more than an inspiration and someone I respect to and look up to. I have spent countless hours, days, weeks and months with the man since the age of 5 and have never once seen him behave inappropriately. He’s married to my aunt and I know this man very well. I stand behind him with no question whatsoever,” said Omarion.

“I have grown up around Chris and this is crazy to me. These people have damaged me, and my reputation and I won’t stand silent and will do all within my means to speak the truth about this matter,” said Omarion. (Source: PR Newswire)

PICS: Ciara at Wembley Arena

Ciara‘s new video featuring Monica and Lil’ Jon was universally panned by fans but Ciara wasn’t fazed. Here she is performing at the Wembley Arena in my birth place, London, England over the weekend. Rihanna also performed.

Naomi Campbell’s Louis Vuitton ad; Hot chicks and cars

Ex-supermodel Naomi Campbell is featured in the new Spring/Summer 2008 Louis Vuitton ad campaign. In the vividly colored ad, Naomi is stretched out on her back on the hood of a 1970 Dodge Challenger. In keeping with Louis Vuitton’s standards; nothing matches – not her lipstick, gloves, heels or coat. Louis Vuitton rarely uses black people in their major ad campaigns, so this is a coup for Naomi.

Update: Yung Joc on his way to Cleveland

UPDATE:

I just heard from an inside source that Yung Joc is on his way to Cleveland. Apparently there was a mix up by Joc’s attorney who advised his client that he did not have to make a personal appearance before the judge this morning.

The attorney, who is based in Cleveland, apparently believed he could make the appearance for Yung Joc at his arraignment.

Yung Joc has been advised that if he makes an appearance before the judge later today, the arrest warrant will be waived. There is still the matter of Joc’s bond which is now $200,000.

Yung Joc: a fugitive from the law?

The Yung Joc saga is growing more bizarre by the minute. Rapper Yung Joc, real name Jasiel Robinson, was a no-show at his arraignment hearing in Cleveland today on felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon.

Yung Joc was arrested on Sunday morning at a security checkpoint at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport after a loaded gun was found in his carry-on bag. Yung Joc was detained just as he was about to board a Delta Airlines flight to Atlanta. Joc was released on $50,000 bond on Monday.

I spoke to his manager Rico Brooks last night by phone. Rico told me Joc was at home with his family (yesterday in Atlanta) enjoying the holidays and that his label advised Joc not to make any comments to the media. Of course I reminded Rico that I am a friend – not the media.

Rico promised me he would talk to Joc about speaking with me – as he was going to be with him today. Rico didn’t mention a court hearing today. A Cleveland judge issued a warrant for Yung Joc’s arrest following the missed hearing, and Joc’s bond was revoked.

This is so out of character for Joc and I am at a loss to explain how these set of circumstances could happen to such a nice guy. Associates of Yung Joc say his travel bag was packed by someone else and Joc had no knowledge of the gun.

But what about the persistent rumors that Joc’s camp and T.I.‘s camp are at odds with each other following T.I.’s arrest on weapon’s charges in October? Word is the bodyguard who snitched on T.I. to the feds was referred to T.I. by someone in Joc’s camp.

Video: Merry Christmas from T.I.

Hopefully everyone had a joyful Holiday. I bought my mom a TV for Christmas and my niece is here from Jamaica so she helped me assemble the TV stand before the delivery guy delivered the TV. We had Big fun this Christmas.

The same can also be said for the Clifford “T.I.” Harris household. T.I. released this video to give a Christmas shout out to all his fans – and to deny the rumors of artists jumping ship at his label. “Contrary to popular belief, there is nobody jumping ship off Grand Hustle – that is unless they wasn’t built to be on Grand Hustle in the first place,” said T.I. in a video posted on his Streetcred.com social networking site.

I’m told T.I. is in the Christmas spirit this year. He personally decorated not one, but 3 big Christmas trees in his spacious Jonesboro home this Holiday season. As his children play in the background, T.I. says he assembled all the toys and bikes for his kids with his own hands. Something he has never done until this year.

As you know T.I. is under house arrest with strict rules limiting the number of adult visitors to 3 at a time. But there is no such restriction on children. So T.I. can have a house full of kids whenever he wants to – and he often does as celebrities bring their children over to play with T.I.’s kids.

Shout out to Tiny who will make a doctor’s visit next month where “someone” will learn the sex of her baby! Also big shout out to Zonnique (‘Nique ‘Nique) I heard you! Merry Christmas to T.I., Tiny, Zonnique, Diane and everyone in the Harris and Cottle families!
