Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran have broken up for what might be the last time. The crazy part is Drake's name is being tossed around like it was with Breezy's other ex-girlfriend, Rihanna.
On Friday, December 5, Chris announced that he was single during the Power 106 2014 Cali Christmas concert.
"Fuck that bitch," Chris told the audience.
Tran responded on Twitter by writing "Niggas be in they feelings when you break up with them lol."
Brown didn't initially appear to be worried. He posted an IG photo posing with Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner from backstage at Cali Christmas.
Tran continued air things out on social media.
“Once you find strength within yourself, it’s hard to allow any type of bs around you. I refuse to be repeatedly mistreated especially by someone who claims to love me. That’s not love. And if that’s what you define as love then I don’t want it. Yes, I have not been so smart before in the past but I made a promise to be a better and stronger woman and I’m keeping that promise. If you can’t love me the right way, then don’t love me at all. Don’t be mad at me because I prefer to be happy. Keep love in your life folks. Not just love between people but love within your HEART, flowing in all aspects of your life. I promise life is so much better”
Brown's anger finally bubbled to the surface when he wrote that Tran only visited him in jail once over a four month span, had participated in threesomes and cheated on him with Drake.
Damn, this is a tangled web.

On Saturday, December 6, Fresh Coast Media Group and Film On TV presented their Ether battle rap event at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles.
The event was headlined by the highly anticipated match up between Cassidy and Dizaster.
There were technical difficulties throughout the night starting from the undercard. Sound issues, stream lag, mic problems and entourages too large for the stage all contributed to a disappointing night.
As Cassidy and Dizaster hit the stage there was a delay as host Lush One tried to clear it of both rapper's non essential crew members. He warned that the event could be shut down by police if rules weren't followed.
Eventually the battle got underway with Cassidy going first. The Philadelphia rapper had some high and low points. Some of his punches weren't well received and he seemed to go way over his five minute time limit.
Dizaster didn't fair much better. The energy was there, but wasn't enough to keep the crowd hyped. There were boos here and there, which Diz blamed on Cassidy's crew.
The battle abruptly ended when the Fire Marshall shut it down.
Lush One later apologized for the technical problems and thanked the fans who supported the event. He announced that a rematch would be held on Sunday, December 7.
FilmOn owner Alki David issued a statement via BattleRap.com.
First of all thank you for buying a ticket to the Ether Battlerap event in LA. Although Lush and co were very entertaining we were really let down the Belasco security as well as the sound people.
Seeing as you paid to watch Cass and Diz battle it out, you get to see them for free again. This time they are going to duke it out in the streets somewhere in LA, this evening. The battle will be streamed live today Sunday Dec 7th
To add insult to injury were shut down by the Fire Marshall before the end of the show!
I was just as disappointed not to see the end. But in every silver dark cloud… there is that silver lining.
What’s really great is that YOU get to vote who wins the battle! There will be real-time voting where you get to vote who you think is the better man.
Expect an email tomorrow or keep your eyes open for a tweet from me @alkidavid
If you miss the live show you can always login and watch it on replay after.
Cheers
Alki

Brennan Clay has filed for divorced from his wife of four months, Gina D’Agostini, after accusing her of having an affair with Dallas Cowboys superstar DeMarco Murray.
Clay took the unusual route of exposing details of the affair via his Twitter account beginning on Sunday, November 30.
Clay was just getting started. As the week progressed he continued to share information, including texts that left no doubt that his wife was straying. In one conversation allegedly with Murray, Gina referred to her husband as her "roommate" and agreed to Murray's request to have sex in the bed she shared with Clay.
Gina D’Agostini
Clay and Murray have known each since 2010 when they were teammates in college at the University of Oklahoma. At the time Murray was a senior and Clay was a freshman. Clay says Murray was “the person who I looked up to the most as a running back and as a friend.”
Brennan Clay
The affair was uncovered when Clay found one of his wife's old cell phones. On it he found more than 50 “inappropriate” text messages between Murray and D’Agostino. There were also explicit photos he believes the two sent to each other.
DeMarco Murray
No word on whether the relationship between Murray and D’Agostino is still ongoing.

TMZ reports that the Los Angeles Police Department is now formally investigating allegations that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted Judy Huth at the Playboy Mansion in 1974, when she was 15-years old.
Huth and her attorney, Gloria Allred, held a news conference Friday, December 5, in front of an LAPD station.
"We don't turn people away because things are out of statute. You come to us, especially with a sexual allegation, we will work with you," Chief Charlie Beck said Thursday. "We address these things seriously, and it's not just because it's Mr. Cosby."
"Judy Huth and I came here to the Los Angeles Police Department to meet with detectives of the Los Angeles Police Department, to request an investigation of Mr. Cosby." Allred said Friday. "She's here because she believes it's important Bill Cosby be investigated."
As we previously reported, Huth recently came forward with claims that Cosby got her and a friend drunk while playing pool. He then took them to the Playboy Mansion and instructed them to tell anyone that they were 19 if asked.
Huth alleges that the comedian to her to a room and sexually assaulted her.
Although the statute of limitations is up, the LAPD says they will investigate because other victims and crimes may turn up.
Cosby has fired back by filing legal documents claiming Huth tried to extort him. The docs say Huth's lawyer demanded $100K for silence, and later increased the demand to $250K as more women came forward. Cosby also alleges that Huth tried to sell her story to the tabloids a decade ago, but none were interested, according to TMZ.

Beanie Sigel is currently undergoing surgery at AtlanticCare Regional Medical Center after being shot Friday morning, December 5, in Pleasantville, New Jersey. His condition is said to be serious.
"All I can confirm at this time is that Mr. Dwight Grant was shot this morning after an altercation on Spruce Avenue," Pleasntville police Chief Jose Ruiz said, according to NJ.com.
The 40-year old suffered a gunshot wound to the stomach. The bullet exited out of his back.
The Philadelphia rapper is best known as a former artist on Jay Z's Roc-A-Fella Records and being the front man of the group State Property, along with Young Chris, Neef Buck, Omilio Sparks, Oschino Vasquez, Freeway and Peedi Crakk.
Police say a second man was injured in this morning's shooting, but refused medical attention. A suspect was taken into custody following a police chase, according to The Press of Atlantic City.
Sigel, real name Dwight Grant, was released to a Philadelphia area halfway house Aug. 14, after serving a two-year sentence in federal prison for tax evasion. He has been on home confinement since Sept. 25.

**UPDATE**
Beanie Sigel's family has asked the hospital where he's being treated not to release any information about his condition, but NBC Philadelphia has provided an update to the original story.
Beans was coming home after dropping his kids off at school when he witnessed a fight taking place near his home. It's unclear whether he attempted to break it up, however his attorney says it doesn't appear that the rapper was the intended target of the shooter.
The other man injured during the altercation has been identified as 22-year-old Umar Salahuddi. He was not shot and has not been uncooperative with detectives investigating the crime.
Police have not yet been able to speak with Beanie. He's now listed in critical condition.
"The whole thing is a tragedy," a cousin of Sigel's wife said. She refused to give her name. "It's just very sad and I just ask that everybody keep our family in prayer and that he pulls through."
