Nick Gordonis currently being investigated for injuries found on his girlfriendBobbi Kristina Brown'sbody when she was discovered face down and unresponsive in the bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia home on Saturday, January 31.
According to TMZ, Gordon has physically abused Bobbi in the past and it's common knowledge among their friends. The investigation is not a surprise to anyone.
Sources say Gordon is jealous of Bobbi's fame. Even though she is the daughter ofBobby BrownandWhitney Houston, Gordon feels like he should get just as much attention because Houston took him into her home and raised him from the age of 12.
The couple were recently offered a television show, but because Bobbi got a better offer than Gordon they turned it down.
Bobbi, 21, is currently in an Atlanta hospital in a medically induced coma. The chances for recovery don't look good. Doctors have told her father there is nothing more they can do. He is relying on his faith in God to bring her back to health.
**UPDATE**
WSB-TV is reporting that injuries to Bobbi Kristina's face and mouth sparked the criminal investigation into Nick Gordon. The injuries were discovered when police responded to a 911 call to Bobbi and Nick's home on Saturday, January 31.
Bobbi had been found by her friend Max Lomas in her batchtub. She was face down and unresponsive (not breathing). Lomas reportedly screamed for Gordon, who came in and started to administer CPR. Lomas then called 911.

In addition to the facial injuries police are investigating drugs found in the home.
A Beyonce and Jay Z joint album has been rumored to be in the works, but it hadn't been confirmed until Sunday, February 8, on the Grammy Awards red carpet when Billboard caught up with producer Detail.
"I'm working with a couple of new projects that I don't want to unveil, and then me and Beyonce and Jay Z are actually doing something together this year," Detail said. "When you think of Jay and Bey together, you think 'album.' You should already know."
The new red band trailer has been released for the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton. This looks like it's going to be a great flick.
Plot: The group NWA emerges from the streets of Compton, California in the mid-1980s and revolutionizes pop culture with their music and tales about life in the hood.
The 57th Grammy Awards featured some great performances by some of the marquee names in the business.
AC/DC, Miranda Lambert, Madonna, Kanye West, Rihanna, Paul McCartney, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Gwen Stefani, Mary J. Blige, Sam Smith, Usher, Stevie Wonder and more helped to make it a memorable night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 8.

What's an award show without some Kanye West drama? The G.O.O.D. Music CEO nearly pulled a stunt similar to 2009 when he infamously stormed the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards and snatched Taylor Swift's mic to rant that Beyonce should have won the Best Female Video award instead of Swift.
At the 57th Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 8, Kanye was at it again. As Beck stood onstage to accept the award for Morning Phase winning Album of the Year, Yeezy got out of his seat, walked up to the stage and for a moment looked like he was going to grab the mic. Instead, he headed back to his seat without saying a word.
Watch Jay Z's reaction below.
Kanye wasn't nearly finished though. During E!’s Grammy after-show he vented about Beck winning over Beyonce's self-titled album.
“Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé,” he said, adding: “Y’all know what it meant when ‘Ye walked on the stage.”
The 57th Grammy Awards were held Sunday, February 28, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The category most hip hop fans had their eyes on was Best Rap Album. The nominees were:
"The New Classic," Iggy Azalea, "Because the Internet," Childish Gambino, Nobody's Smiling, Common, The Marshall Mathers LP2, Eminem, "Oxymoron," ScHoolboy Q and "Blacc Hollywood," Wiz Khalifa.

Birdman and his crew were turned away at the door of Nicki Minaj's pre-Grammy party in Hollywood on Saturday, February 7.
The club was supposed to close at 2 a.m.. When the Cash Money Records CEO showed up at 1:45 a.m. he was told it was already closed.
It seems strange that a star of Birdman's stature wasn't let in the club given the fact that it wasn't officially closed yet. Maybe the rumors of Nicki's plans to bolt withLil Waynewhen or if he's able to get out of his contract with Cash Money might be true.
The Vault is All Def Digital's newest series, where artists, comedians, and other famous figures in the entertainment business give us the inside scoop on one of the craziest moments in their career. And when we say crazy, we mean crazy. Be prepared to hear all kinds of shenanigans, madness, and mayhem on each episode of The Vault, proving time and time again that there's no biz like show biz.
On the premiere episode of The Vault, ADD sits down with rising rap star Kid Ink, who had one wild--and bloody--ride to a show.
"You better lose yourself in the music, the moment/You own it, you better never let it go/You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow/This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo." - Eminem"Lose Yourself"
An aspiring rapper by the name of Cameron Grey got the chance of a lifetime Saturday, February 7, when he met Kanye West outside of the House of Blues in West Hollywood.
Cam begged Kanye to let him rap for him and the G.O.O.D. Music CEO obliged.
Cameron started with some freestyle bars before Yeezy asked him to spit a written. When it was over Kanye asked the young rapper if he would be willing to start as an assistant and exchanged contact information with him.
Peep Cameron's impromptu audition and let us know if you think he has what it takes.
The Mafia Dons share the story behind B.I.G.'s "Long Kiss Goodnight," where the legendary rapper spits a line about Lil Cease driving the car that permanently injured his leg, leaving him to permanently walk with a cane.
Lil Herb opened up about getting his big break in music after releasing "Kill Sh*t" featuring Lil Bibby, and the Chicago emcee believes it was their incredible bars that set them apart from the competition. He adds that the record opened a lot of doors for him in music, including "Chiraq" with Nicki Minaj, though Lil Herb admits that it took a while for him to "grow into the fame."
The conversation also touched on the Chicago spitter's projects, including his upcoming mixtape, "Ballin' Like I'm Kobe," which Lil Herb says he plans to heavily promote while going on the road for tons of shows.
Rap-Up TV recently reached out to Keyshia Cole to talk about Bobbi Kristina Brown, who is still in a medically induced coma.
Keyshia lamented the fact that she had not reached out to Bobbi before she was found unresponsive in her bathtub on Saturday, January 31.
"I wish I would have reached out to her," Keyshia said. "I think we have it in common... our parents and everything. I don't know what happened yet. They're still doing an investigation. We don’t want to jump the gun on anything. I don’t know what’s going on. I just pray for her.”

Henry Damon got his wish after undergoing plastic surgery to look like Red Skull
Video After The Jump
There are things you can do to to alter your looks that you can never come back from. For 37-year old Henry Damon that's perfectly OK.
Damon wanted to look like Marvel super villain Red Skull. To achieve his goal he had part of his nose removed, implanted several subdermal implants into his forehead, dyed his eyes and topped that off with an assortment of tattoos.
The results were freakish to say the least. Check out a few photos of Damon's transformation above and below.
Check out CyHi The Prynce's new song entitled "Forever." The track was produced by Tec Beatz, Brandon Black and Jeff Leahr. Give it a listen up top and sound off in the comment section below.
Tyga and Chris Brown's collaborative album Fan of a Fan: The Album, will arrive on February 24. In the meantime check out snippets from the project.
Tracklist:
1. Westside 2. Nothin’ Like Me (Feat. Ty Dolla $ign) 3. Ayo 4. Girl You Loud 5. Remember Me 6. I Bet (Feat. 50 Cent) 7. D.G.I.F.U. (Feat. Pusha T) 8. Better 9. Lights Out (Feat. Fat Trel) 10.

After a bit of a wait we finally get a look at Kanye West's Adidas Yeezy Boost sneakers.
According to GQ, only 3000 pairs will be sold at $350 apiece. The website called yeezy.supply, has a countdown clock indicating a countdown to February 12. The date coincides with the beginning of New York Fashion Week, where West is expected to officially unveil the shoes.
With only 3000 pairs being made available to the public demand will be high. Hopefully people will be civilized when they go on sale. We don't need or want to see the kind of madness associated with the sale ofMichael Jordanretro sneakers.
