Chris Brown is currently trying to work out a custody agreement in court so he'll be able to see his daughter, Royalty, more.
That may have hit a snag following the break in at his San Fernando Valley house Wednesday morning, July 15.
TMZ reports that Nia Guzman believes the home invasion was carried out by Chris' Bloods gang affiliates, who have turned on the singer.
Nia doesn't want Royalty anywhere near Chris at the moment. A judge will have to sort this out.

Curtis Young is the spitting image of his father, Andre "Dr Dre" Young. Curtis even grew up Compton, California like his famous pops, but he was 12-years old before finding out the news that changed his life.
"I was very protective with my mom. I'm the first born on my mom's side. I was big brother. [My mom and her boyfriend] were arguing. And I told him, 'Hey dad, ease up.' His direct words were, 'Nigga I ain't your daddy. You wanna know your daddy is? Your real daddy is Dr. Dre," Cutis recalls of finding out the news.
At the time the pre-teen was 12 years old. The now 33-year had grown up idolizing N.W.A. He was told that his mother, Cassandra Joy Greene, had him when she was 17, after dating Dre for a year.
Benny Luo of NextShark recently sat down with Curtis to get the full story.
While Dr. Dre was rising in fame and success, Young was facing the challenges of growing up on the tough streets of Compton.
“My childhood was like any childhood growing up in Compton. There was definitely a lot of trials and tribulations. Growing up in Compton, if you wanted to be a part of a gang, you can easily jump into it. But I grew up with some good friends, and we told ourselves that we definitely didn’t want to be involved with any of that. We had friends who were involved with gangs, but they went through struggles like going in and out of jail — some of them are not here with us. I wanted to do something different with my life.”
Young was dumbfounded, and for the next several years, he felt there was a void in his life. He wanted to meet his biological father, but he wasn’t allowed to.
“I wanted to meet him when I found out, but my mom was still with my father that raised me and he didn’t want Dre in my life. He told my mom, ‘I’m his dad, there ain’t no reason for him to meet him.’
It wasn’t until his parents split when he was 15 years old that Young reached out to meet his biological father. It proved to be extremely difficult to get in touch with the rap star, however.
“When I finally got in touch with his attorney’s, we took a DNA test. And of course, it came back 99.9% he is the father.”
By the time Young finally got a chance to meet his biological father, he was already 20. He recounted the first time he met his father, whom he had watched from afar for most of his childhood:
“It was definitely a crazy experience, just talking to him on the phone for the first time. You could feel the energy through the phone. I think we both were nervous.”
“It was like looking in the mirror seeing him face to face. We met at Skybar in Hollywood for the first time. It’s really indescribable. The best way to describe it is meeting your favorite basketball player or football player.”
Just that moment, it was epic. We sat down and couldn’t stop staring at each other. The first time we met, we shook hands, looked at each other, sat down. We couldn’t look at each other because we looked so much alike. There was so much tension. My mom was actually in between us, and it was just monumental.
Although he wasn’t raised by Dr. Dre, Young says that they still share profound similarities.
“In terms of character, I think we’re like the same person, except he has more life experiences than me and he’s older. Even his wife said we laugh and sound the same. I think from where we come from, we’re all about evolving and building empires.”
Many people assume Young became wealthy when it was confirmed that Dr. Dre was his father, but he’s quick to refute the assumption.
“They look at it like, ‘He must have crazy money too!’ It’s like when you walk around, you’re a target now.
I’m here to set the record straight about me being spoiled. That’s definitely not the case. I don’t ask for shit from my father. I don’t want nothing from my dad. When I met him it was different. I was a kid. He got me a car and some cash, but that was pretty much for my birthday. After that, it was really just birthdays. I wasn’t asking for handouts. I didn’t really want anything from him; I just wanted time spent with him.
I never would ask him to help me out in business. One thing he always told me was, ‘You got the name — run with it. Just by having that birthright of the name, it helped me push myself as a business person.”
Young initially released some mixtapes and went by the rap name “Hood Surgeon,” which was inspired by his father’s rap moniker. He admits that he was previously trying to sound and act too much like his father in his records, but that he eventually realized he had to become his own artist and try to step out of his father’s shadow. Now, he’s simply “Curtis Young” — with his father’s complete blessing.
Young is currently working on his upcoming album “Product of my DNA,” set for release this year, with the theme centered around his life growing up in Compton. He’s also set to star on a new Bunim/Murray-produced reality show, “Seeds of Hip Hop,” centered around the sons of pioneering rappers.

In April we reported that 2 of Lil Wayne's tour buses was shot at in Atlanta. There were no injuries, but police arrested Jimmy Winfrey a.k.a. PeeWee Roscoe, a Rich Gang affiliate, for the shooting.
Action 2 News now reports that a June indictment alleges that Winfrey, Birdman and Young Thug conspired to kill Lil Wayne at the time. All are supposedly Blood gang members.
Wayne and Birdman have been involved in a bitter dispute. The Cash Money Records co-owner has refused to release Weezy's album, Tha Carter V. Wayne says the label owes him $10 million for completing the album on time and wants to be released from his contract.
“(Young Thug) released the next album in the Carter series but changed the name to "Barter VI" by changing the ‘C’ to a ‘B,’” the indictment says.
The indictment alleges that Young Thug made a threat against Lil Wayne and tour bus shooting suspect Jimmy Winfrey carried out that threat.
The indictment goes on to say that Winfrey was driving the white Chevy Camaro that fired shots at Lil Wayne’s tour buses the night of April 26 after a police escort left the buses.
“After Atlanta Police discontinued their escort, (Winfrey) and fellow Blood Gang members entered Interstate 285 from Atlanta Road in Cobb County in pursuit of the buses occupied by (Lil Wayne’s) group,” the indictment says. “(That’s when) the white sports car pulled beside the buses, shots were then fired into the buses from the sports car with a .40 caliber handgun and a 9mm handgun.”
The indictment goes on to say Winfrey had a photo of the Camaro posted on his Instagram account and attempted to erase it following the shooting. The Camaro was later found at the home of one of Winfrey’s relatives.
Young Thug and Birdman have not been charged in the incident.
Winfrey’s next court appearance is Friday.

Too $hort is sitting in a jail cell cooling his heels. In his mind, it's a much better alternative than being on probation.
As we reported in March 2013, Short Dawg, real name Todd Anthony Shaw, was pulled over in Los Angeles for traffic violations. The rapper seemed intoxicated and tried to outrun the cops on foot, but didn't make it far. He was charged with DUI and felony narcotics possession.
He was sentenced to 3 years probation and community service. The 49-year old Bay Area legend made a court appearance today and it turns out he didn't complete his community service, according to TMZ.
The judge offered $hort more time if he agreed to 3 more years of probation. Tired of being monitored, the rapper rejected the offer and was sentenced to 90 days in jail.

Mexican authorities have released footage of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's brazen escape from a maximum security prison.
The drug kingpin was under 24-hour video surveillance, but was able to slip out of his cell and escape through an elaborate tunnel. Authorities are offering a $3.8 million reward for the man who in 2009 was named to Forbes' list of the world's richest people with an estimated net worth of $1 billion.
The Chicago Crime Commission are calling 'El Chapo' public enemy No. 1. They blame the plague of drug related violence in the city on Guzman.
They say that he has flooded the city's streets with heroin and cocaine.
Even from behind prison walls, "El Chapo" was able to run his Sinaloa Cartel.
