It’s been a long time since I did this! Once again it’s time for another “Who Owns The Track?” But this time it’s Rihanna vs TYNISHA KELI! She recently did a “Rehab” Cover on YOUTUBE that blew me away, so I ripped it from there, added the instrumentals and edited the audio. I love “Rehab,” so I’m in heaven right now, I think because it was produced by Timbaland and written by Justin Timberlake – what am I saying!? That’s EXACTLY why I love this track! I hope Rihanna releases it soon or she’s crazy!

  • Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown Says the Pregnancy Was PlannedMel B is saying that her relationship with Eddie was originally supposed to end up in marriage, and the pregnancy was definitely no mistake and did not happen on accident as people are claiming. She even had her IUD removed. I didn’t know what the hell that was until I checked THIS out. So I guess it’s a non-surgical approach to a woman “getting her tubes tied.” But to make a long story short, Eddie really did her wrong. First, the break-up. Eddie didn’t even step up to the plate as man and the tell the girl it was over. She had to find out on a TV show. “There was no official breakup,” she says. “I went to London and on my return flight I learned that he made that announcement about wanting a DNA test on that TV show. Then I saw him on the red carpet with Tracey Edmonds and that’s when I knew we were over.” When asked about her response to the situation, she said:

    I laughed because that wasn’t the guy that I knew who told me he wanted to have a baby and get married. I just didn’t believe it. I had my lawyer send me the link for the clip of that Dutch TV show. I had to see it to believe it. When I saw it my heart dropped down to my gut. Obviously, there was something within him that I didn’t know. Then I thought, If that’s the kind of person that he truly is, then I’m better off by myself. I had to switch gears because I had press outside my property walking up to my front door. It was awful because I was pregnant. Eddie and I were extremely low-key; you didn’t see me going anywhere with him maybe once or twice. One of the reasons I moved to this country was to avoid the limelight so I could take my kid to the park and do my grocery shopping. So to have him embarrass me worldwide and have press knocking on my door—frankly, I was pissed and I was like, “Thank you! You have now put me in a whole different lifestyle where I have to have security, move to a new house, and move my kid out of the school she attended.” That was no fun.

    When asked about Murphy’s excitement about the pregnancy, Melanie told ESSENCE.COM, “Oh this was a completely planned pregnancy. This wasn’t some random, “Oops I fell over and I’m pregnant.” I don’t live my life like that. I’m a responsible parent and have been a responsible single parent since I got divorced. This is the one thing that really annoys me. If I wanted to have a baby I would have had a baby a long time ago. I wouldn’t have waited eight years to have another one … As soon as I had my IUD removed we proceeded to get pregnant. It happened quicker than we expected but it was perfect timing.” Check out the full interview over at ESSENCE.COM!

    Dang, Beyonce Fell Flat On Her Face Last Night!

    Lately the U.S. leg of Beyonce’s tour has not been working in her favor. Bey’s very first show resulted in two fans obtaining minor injury from a pyrotechnics accident, and now … home girl fell down the stairs during a performance of “Ring the Alarm!” Read a fan’s account below…

    Okay so I went to Bee’s concert in Orlando and like omg I nearly died. Ring The Alarm had just started and she was going down the steps and at the last couple of steps…. She FELL!!!!

    She fell right on her face and like the mic flew out of her hand and almost fell off the stage. She quickly got back up and acted like absolutely nothing had happened!!!! I was beyond impressed. She is a very professional entertainer and I have the upmost respect for her. During the beginning of Suga Mama, she was like “Damn… That hurt so bad. I want to eat some hamburger helper.” The crowd went crazy. She even cracked a joke about it. She hurt herself though… I saw blood on her right leg and like the chick didn’t even flinch. I would’ve walked off stage and acted straight up diva-ish if I was her. Props to her. The concert in Ft. Lauderdale was amazing and the concert in Orlando was straight up gangsta!

    Now y’all know somebody recorded that and is waiting for the right time to post it up on youtube. We’ll keep our eyes glued and be sure to post it as soon as we get it!!

    DON’T FORGET WHERE YOU HEARD IT FIRST!!!!
    UPDATE:3:57 AM – YOUTUBE VIDEO BELOW!!!

    More fan accounts and another angle of the fall after the cut! What are you waiting for??

    Kanye Says: “Eff You Fifty” - Okay Not Really But Something Similar to It!

    If you didn’t already know … Kanye West and 50 Cent are beefing. Yeah, I know right? Big surprise there! Why are they beefing, you ask? Because their albums drop on the same day. T.I. vs T.I.P. and Ms. Kelly dropped on the same day, but you didn’t see T.I. and Kelly puttin up dukes outside at the BET Awards. Anyhow, originally, Graduation was set for a September 18 release. But Def Jam decided to move it up to September 11 (that rarely happens … you’ll usually find that albums get pushed back weeks and weeks). And apparently neither of the two rappers are moving! This is what Kanye had to say:

    “I’d rather come out on a day like that, up against 50 — where people are excited about going to the stores and it’s an event and people talk about it — and be #2 on that day rather than come out and be #1 on a day nobody cares about,” West said. “It’s about things going down in history. It’s not that much exciting stuff in hip-hop right now. I think people are going to make it more than what I’m making it myself. At the end of the day, I’m making music and I’m trying to sell.”

    I, for one, hope that Kanye comes out on top and outsells fiddy by so much that there couldn’t be ANY room for speculation. What do you think?
