As we previously reported, Frank Ocean and Chris Brown got into a fight last night in Los Angeles. While Breezy has not responded or tweeted about the incident, Frank has.

Power 105.1 radio personality Charlamagne Tha God gave Frank the "Donkey of the Day" award today after reports surfaced that Frank actually initiated the fight.

Charlamagne said the only reason Frank sent out that tweet was to get people on his side and he knew the LBGT community and media would use this incident to attack Chris for being homophobic, leading to protests.

Listen to the rest of what Charlamagne had to say below.

50 Cent and Eminem have always had good chemistry when they collaborate musically. Fif sat down with Fuse to talk about the recording process with Em for "Champions" and "My Life" off of his upcoming album, Street King Immortal.

"We actually recorded it in Detroit," 50 said of the song "Champions." "It's one of the songs Em was set on this record. Because he heard it and was like 'this is for me and 50.' He wrote his verse on the actual record. And I came in and he played it and I was like 'OK, this is cool. Let me think how I actually wanna approach the record.' Then I go to the other studio to record it it. And I asked the engineer, I had to hear it again. Because he made some mentions and I didn't want to make the same mentions. Some of the people that he has a lot of respect for in music culture were in that song and I didn't want to repeat that."

50 goes on to talk about Em's verse on "My Life" and why it was longer than expected.

50 Cent and Rick Ross simply don't like each other, so it's no surprise that the G-Unit mogul had a quick response to reports that Ross' Rolls Royce was shot at this morning in Fort Lauderdale.

Fif responded on Twitter by saying the incident doesn't look legitimate.

50 added a pic of the vehicle to further illustrate his point.

What are your thoughts on the shooting?

Adult film actress Kelly Divine has been in the industry since 2007. She's seen her fair share of both the good and bad side of being a porn star.

In this recent chat with Vlad TV she talks about why males are more important in the business than females, guys who can't handle the pressure of filming scenes, why she won't date co-workers, HIV in the industry, and Mr. Marcus hiding his results after testing positive for syphilis.

"Mr. Marcus did a dumb thing, but in his defense I don't think he gave it to anyone," Kelly said. "When you get tested for syphilis, like the standard test. If you've ever had in your life it's gonna come up positive. They have to do another test to see if it's active or if it was like something old. What I was told by the people at the testing place, who weren't supposed to tell me this because they're not supposed to tell people's business. They told me that he got it. He was at his regular doctor. Tested positive, was medicated. He didn't work for a week because he wasn't supposed to because of the medication. [He] went to our testing place and didn't tell them about this. [He] came up positive. He actually didn't have it anymore, but it was coming it positive because they have to do that secondary test. And instead of communicating, he just fugazied his test which was the dumbest thing he could have ever did. It's disrespectful. He didn't know he wasn't spreading it. He didn't care...which sucks."

Last week, Pusha talked to Miss Info about collaborating with Wale on "Only You Can Tell It" when previewing a snippet of the song. "It's really good because we're both from the DMV area," he said.

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — A deadly fire swept through a crowded nightclub in southern Brazil early Sunday, killing at least 245 people attending a university party and leaving at least 200 injured, police and firefighters said. It appeared to be the deadliest nightclub fire in more than a decade.

Witnesses said that a flare or firework lit by band members may have started the fire.

Police Maj. Cleberson Braida told local news media that the 245 bodies were brought for identification to a gymnasium in the city of Santa Maria, at the southern tip of Brazil near the borders with Argentina and Uruguay.

Television images showed smoke pouring out of the Kiss nightclub as shirtless, young male partygoers joined firefighters in wielding axes and sledgehammers, pounding at windows and walls to break through to those trapped inside. Teenagers sprinted from the scene desperately trying to find help — others carried injured and burned friends away in their arms.

"There was so much smoke and fire, it was complete panic and it took a long time for people to get out, there were so many dead," survivor Luana Santos Silva told the Globo TV network.

Silva added that firefighters and ambulances responded quickly after the fire broke out, but that it spread too fast inside the packed club for them to help.

Michele Pereira, another survivor, told the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper that she was near the stage and that the fire broke out after band members lit flares.

"The band that was onstage began to use flares and, suddenly, they stopped the show and pointed them upward. At that point the ceiling caught fire. It was really weak but in a matter of seconds it spread," Pereira said.

Civil Police and regional government spokesman Marcelo Arigoni told Radio Gaucha earlier that the total number of victims is still unclear and there may be hundreds injured. Officials earlier said 180 were killed.

Rodrigo Moura, identified by the newspaper Diario de Santa Maria as a security guard at the club, said it was at its maximum capacity of between 1,000 and 2,000, and partygoers were pushing and shoving to escape.

Ezekiel Corte Real, 23, was quoted by the paper as saying that he helped people to escape. "I just got out because I'm very strong," he said.

The fire led President Dilma Roussef to cancel a series of meetings she had scheduled at a summit of Latin American and European leaders in Chile's capital of Santiago, and was headed to Santa Maria, according to the Brazilian foreign ministry.

"It is a tragedy for all of us. I am not going to continue in the meeting (in Chile) for very clear reasons," she said.

"Sad Sunday", tweeted Tarso Genro, the governor of the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul. He said all possible action was being taken and that he would be in the city later in the day.

Santa Maria is a major university city with a population of around a quarter of a million.

A welding accident reportedly set off a Dec. 25, 2000, fire at a club in Luoyang, China, killing 309.

At least 194 people died at an overcrowded working-class nightclub in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2004. Seven members the band were sentenced to prison for setting off the blaze.

A blaze at the Lame Horse nightclub in Perm, Russia, broke out on Dec. 5, 2009, when an indoor fireworks display ignited a plastic ceiling decorated with branches, killing 152

A nightclub fire in the U.S. state of Rhode Island in 2003 killed 100 people after pyrotechnics used as a stage prop by the 1980s rock band Great White set ablaze cheap soundproofing foam on the walls and ceiling.
