Chris Brown is doing his best to keep his head up while in jail. The singer reached out to his girlfriend Karrueche Tran to let her know how much she means to him. Breezy also thanked his fans for continuing to support him during this time.
“I’m calling all my fans, letting ya’ll know I love ya’ll. Thank ya’ll for all the support,” Chris said. “Thanks for everything. The video just came out so I hope ya’ll enjoyed that. And most importantly, K, Karrueche, I love you."
Chris still has a couple of legal hurdles to overcome before he can become a free man again. He first must deal with his assault case in Washington, D.C. He will appear before a judge there on April 17.
Then his lawyer, Mark Geregos, must convince the judge in the Rihanna assault case that Breezy is not a danger to himself or others. He's been sitting in jail since March 14, when he was kicked out of a court-mandated anger management facility for breaking several rules.
A probation violation hearing is scheduled for April 23 in Los Angeles.

Pastor Mason Betha is positive he could have saved Michael Jackson, according to a new report by TMZ.
Ma$e, who began preaching the word of God in 1999, developed an interest in bringing sinful rappers to the Lord after the King of Pop's 2009 death, members of his church say. So, he sees nothing wrong with occasionally leaving the pulpit and picking up a mic in order to reach those in need.
The "Feel So Good" hit maker believes that if he had been around to counsel MJ, he could have saved his life.

"But there was no one who even knew I was going through, growing pains/Hatred was flowing through my veins, on the verge of going insane/I almost made a song dissing Lil Wayne" Eminem
Eminem spit those lyrics on his 2010 song "Talkin 2 Myself," but nobody knew that he was dead serious. The Shady Records CEO spoke with Big Boy's Neighborhood today and broke down his mind state at the time and why he had West and Weezy on his radar.
“When I made the record ‘Talkin’ 2 Myself,’ what I was basically talking about [was] with the time period that I was away. I was kind of watching what was going on in the game and it was like anything that was hot at that moment or anybody who was really killing shit at that moment I felt like—I felt so bad about myself and the music that I was creating, that I felt like I started to turn into a hater. And it wasn’t just—you know, singling Kanye and Wayne out at that time period, I mean they were the one’s who were the killing it the most to me. And it hurt. I’d pop the CD in and be like, ‘Fuck man, I’m not doing this no more.’ I felt like I came very close to like, for me it would have been career suicide because I felt like, ‘I should make a song just dissing everybody who's doing in it the game right now.’”
“I just had the thoughts, just walking around the studio. I think that deep down I just wasn’t happy with myself, man. I knew that there were some really dark moments in there. When I think about how my thought process was when I was high a lot, it wasn’t good, man, and it certainly wasn’t me ‘cause I’m not even that kind of person.”

Rapper and Love and Hip Hop star Benzino was reportedly shot during his mother's funeral procession in Duxbury, Massachusetts
Adam Harding, a reporter for Boston's Channel 7 News, confirmed that the 48-year old former owner of The Source was the victim.
It's an all around tragedy for Benzino's family. Upon learning of his mother's death he captioned a photo of himself with her.
"God knows I have been through alot in my life," he wrote. "BUT EVERY INCH OF GOOD, KINDNESS AND LOVE IN MY SOUL IS BECAUSE OF THIS WOMAN, A BIG PART OF ME IS LOST NOW AND I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, MA WORDS CANT EXPRESS MY LOVE FOR YOU.I WILL MISS EVERY BREATHING MOMENT, I DONT KMOW HOW I WILL CONTINUE KNOWING YOU ARE NOT HERE. Im lost."
The Boston Globe is reporting that the shooting took place on I-95 this morning around 11:55 a.m.
Benzino pictured with his mother Mary Scott
Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz issued a statement that said the victim was taken to South Shore Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
State Police Spokesman David Procopio said an argument between family members sparked the shooting. A person driving a Bentley shot the driver of red Dodge SUV. The shooting victim exited his car. A passerby took him to the Duxbury Police Department. He was later transported to the hospital.
The shooter was arrested and charged with armed assault with intent to murder. The police have not released the name of the shooter or the victim,
Benzino, real name Raymond Scott, has been in the music business since 1984. He's recorded with The Almighty RSO, Made Men and others.
The rapper is also known for past feuds with Eminem, 50 Cent, Julia Beverly of Ozone Magazine and Kim Osario of The Source.
**UPDATE**
Channel 7 News WHDH is now reporting that Benzino was shot by his 36-year old nephew, Gai Scott. Benzino suffered several gunshot wounds and is hospitalized in stable condition.
Family members say the two have had issues with each other for some time. After the shooting the rest of the family continued on to the funeral. Father William Williams noticed blood on the hearse when it arrived
"I said to one of the guys: 'There's blood on the hearse.' There was an incident along the way," Williams said. "The family was there. They were mourning somebody they loved who died so they didn't want to talk cops and robbers."
Because the original hearse was now a part of a crime scene another one had to called out after the funeral to transport Mary Scott's body.
Gai Scott will be arraigned Monday in Plymouth District Court

**UPDATE** March 31
Benzino spoke with TMZ today about the shooting. He said prior to the funeral he hadn't seen Gai Scott in 6 or 7 years. The former owner of the source claims Gai opened fire on him for no reason. 7- 8 shots rang out. He was grazed in the back and a bullet hit his right arm.
Benzino also gave NEHip-Hop a hospital bed interview
“I can’t talk too much about that only because of course it’s an investigation still going on…Only thing I wanna say about that as far as live on camera is that my mother was a beautiful, beautiful woman And what’s transpired with her over the last 10 years was just really unfortunate. As far as her—I would have wanted her to retire. And be somewhere on the island and stuff, but things happened. Things happened that was out of my control. I’m in Atlanta and she’s up here. And she has other daughters and nephews and stuff. It’s just—it’s unfortunate. Money brings the worst out of people.”
“With my mother not here probably—I just start losing faith in human beings. I just start—because when I grew up it wasn’t like this,” he said. “You know what I’m saying? When I grew up…Just society on a whole. It just, it wasn’t like this. People had genuine love for each other. We live in an age of social media now and it’s no genuine love because you really don’t even know who you talking to half the time…I think with my mom passing and with the things that transpired it’s definitely made me a little bit colder. But then there could be something that happens next week that makes my heart happy again.”
Gai Scott
Gai Scott appeared in court today and entered a plea of not guilty.
“I looked over, there was a car, and all I saw was a gun shooting at me,” Scott told the Boston Globe in a phone interview.
“When the dust settles, this case will be shown to be self-defense,’’ said Scott's lawyer Jon Ciraulo.
A statement was issued by the attorney for Maureen Scott, who is Benzino’s sister and Gai Scott’s mother.
“My client and his family, including Maureen [Scott] vehemently deny any accusations that Benzino is making,’’ Coughlin said today. “I would suggest that he [the uncle] has an agenda in utilizing and self-promoting at this time.’’
Benzino's lawyer scoffed at the notion that Gai Scott acted in self defense.
“Six shots into Ray Scott’s car, and he chased him on the highway,’’ said Martin K. Leppo. “That doesn’t sound like self-defense to me.’’
Benzino checked out of the hospital this morning

On May 13 Epic Records, in conjunction with Michael Jackson's estate, will release a new album by the late King of Pop entitled Xscape. The project will include eight unreleased songs.
Producers Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, Jerome “Jroc” Harmon and John McClain have been tapped to revamp some of the song's production "to add a fresh, contemporary sound that retains Jackson’s essence and integrity."
A deluxe edition of the album will include all of the songs as they were originally recorded. Pre-orders begin on April 1 on iTunes.com/MichaelJackson. All other retailers worldwide will offer the project starting on May 13.
“Modern music and artistry would look and sound completely different if not for the groundbreaking contributions Michael Jackson gifted to the world,” said Epic Records Chairman and CEO, L.A. Reid, in a press release. “Michael left behind some musical performances that we take great pride in presenting through the vision of music producers that he either worked directly with or expressed strong desire to work with. We are extremely proud and honored to present this music to the world.”
