Throwback Thursdays: Monica, Sean Combs, Chris Brown
Monica Brown, 31, tweeted this circa 1993 pic of herself with singers Usher, far right, and Akon, 2nd from left.
Singer Chris Brown, 23, takes a trip down memory lane with this circa 1995 pic of himself and his mom, Joyce Hawkins. In earlier interviews, Brown described feeling helpless and powerless when he and his mom suffered abuse at the hands of his father. Brown recently reunited with his dad, and he is now in a different space mentally.
Rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, 42, tweeted this circa 1989 photo of himself with the late, great rapper Notorious BIG, right, and Busta Rhymes, left, when Busta was a member of the successful hip hop group Leaders of the New School. Now 40, Busta is single with 3 children, ages 19, 13, and 11.

@ OutsidetheBox: No one got to me. The kid has suffered enough. He has proven that he can keep his hands to himself for 3 years now. Plus, he’s talented and his music makes people happy. God bless him.
@ OutsidetheBox:
On the other hand, Beyonce’s singing grates on my nerves – and though she has never been accused of abusing anyone, her music is abusive to my eardrums.

CB is a cutee, I am very familiar with that choke hold that kids give you when they are excited and give you that unconditional love hug.
Y’all let Sandra be great. She’s proof that there’s hope for all of us. Okay most. Okay, okay, some. Anyway. Let’s just enjoy it while it lasts.
Am I to understand there will be no more gum chewing?
Sandra how much is bu paying you? I mean you have a changed of
all of sudden..
All I will say is damn money cant buy happiness but it sure as hell can make you look better!
Hey whoever still in here
Monica, I think she is so pretty.
Ursher looks hella young. I
Chris was a cutie patootie, love that pic with his mama. I know I am late, but Nicci from R&B Divas irks my spirit. She is a shady queen
I used to love them dimples on Usher
I was a stan for him and Immature!!
Didn’t know Akon been in the music industry that long
more evidence that these folks all know each other. there’s a process to breaking into the entertainment industry, starting with who you know, of course.
when these artists finally do ‘break out,’ they’ve been waiting or working behind the scenes for years before getting their shot.
So why do Monica look like Rihanna in that pick??
I meant pic?
That’s a bandana on Biggie forehead for everyone who wondering?..lol
Love that pic of Monica and why was Akon in the pic circa 93
Akon wasn’t popping until “Locked Up” came out right 
Morning ya’ll
‘Tis Friday!!!
