Not too long ago, Chris Brown legally became a convicted felon and was told to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna, 10 yards if at the same event. But according to a mutual friend, both Chris and Rihanna think the clause is pointless and impractical.
“They think it’s unnecessary and ridiculous. After [the proceeding], Ri and Chris talked on the phone for almost an hour and really worked at becoming friends. They’re solid now,” the mutual friend said.
The wait is over. After months of speculation, Canadian rapper Drake has officially signed to Lil’ Wayne‘s independent label Young Money. According to MTV, his signing is between Young Money and Cash Money Records and his debut album Thank Me Later will be distributed by Universal Republic.

Letoya Luckett‘s label recently released the official cover for the R&B singer’s upcoming album, Lady Love.
She looks very pretty on the cover but it’s a bit too simple. If the background was all white instead of the gray being dominant it might have made her pop a bit more. Not to mention it does look like one of the Sasha Fierce promo pictures.
Anyway, be on the look out for Letoya’s new album, which is set to drop August 25th.

And another one bites the dust… Due to the recession, VIBE Magazine has been forced to shut down. The urban-music magazine was founded in 1993 by Quincy Jones and had a great amount of success during that decade. But under its new owner, the Wicks Group, the magazine has fallen and has lost many of its readers. In February, Vibe’s circulation went down, salaries were cut, and employees were no longer working five-day workweeks.
Christina Milian and The Dream were set to cover the next issue of the magazine, which according to Rap Radar unfortunately will not be hitting newsstands. Follow the break to read a statement from CCO/Editor-in-Chief Danyel Smith.
Actor, producer, writer AND director Tyler Perry recently called in to Q100’s “The Bert Show” in Atlanta to discuss his thoughts on Michael Jackson‘s death and to criticize the media for bringing up Jackson’s child molestation charges instead of honoring his work.
“These are human beings, they’re human beings,” Perry said. “I wouldn’t wish the level of fame he achieved on my worst enemy. I am so disgusted, that, with every great thing that’s being said about him, there’s a million negative things being said. Why can’t it just be about his legacy rather than the tarnished part of what he was acquitted for? It bothers me that this is the focus.”
While the whole world was hit hard by the King of Pop’s death, 12 of his biggest fans were hit the hardest. Apparently, they took the whole “I love MJ to death” thing a bit too far…
According to Gary Taylor, founder of an online MJ fanclub, many of them could not cope with the sudden passing of Michael Jackson and ended their own lives.
“I know there has been an increase (in deaths), I now believe the figure is 12. It is a serious situation that these people are going through but Michael Jackson would never want this. He would want them to live.”
