Georgia authorities have opened a homicide investigation intoBobbi Kristina Brown'sdeath, according toTMZ.
This had been expected given the fact that Bobbi reportedly had facial injuries at the time she was taken to the hospital, after being found unconscious, face down and submerged in water in a bathtub at her Roswell, Georgia home on January 31, 2015.
Bobbi's boyfriend, Nick Gordon, is a person of interest in the investigation. He and a friend of Bobbi's found her in the bathtub.
Bobbi was 22-years old when she died on Sunday, July 26. She had been in a coma for the last several months. She was the only child ofBobby Brownand the late, great singerWhitney Houston.
Kanye West and his pregnant wife, Kim Kardashian, made an appearance on Caitlyn Jenner's new reality television show, I Am Cait.
The rapper met Jenner's family for the first time and offered Cait powerful words of wisdom.
"I think [the transition] is one of the strongest things that have happened in our existence. Just as human beings that are so controlled by perception," Kanye said. "You couldn't have been up against more. Like, your daughter is a supermodel, you're a celebrity, you have every type of thing, and it was still like, 'fuck everybody, this is who I am.'"
Khloe Kardashian lands on the cover of the August/September 2015 issue of Complex. The 31-year old reality television star puts her ample curves on display in a very hot pictorial, photographed by Steven Gomillion.
All ofFuture'shard work in 2015 has paid big dividends. The Atlanta rapper lands his first number one album withDS2.
According to Billboard, the album sold 147,000 copies in it's first week ending on July 23. The figure is more than what his first two albums, Pluto (41,000) and Honest (53,000), moved combined in their debut weeks.

I rarely speak on my personal issues and i usually express my pain the through music but today I will share a little with you last month my wife and I lost a daughter and my son lost a sister . My baby girl took her life and there are no words to describe the day to day pain we have to endure and maintain through but in dealing with pain you find yourself dealing with the creator and asking questions and going through emotions most would not understand. So I'm taking this time out to express a few things to y'all because life is short and we are not promised tomorrow. I like to deal with simple math I know I am 180- 180+ but im trying my best to live on the positive side of things . I have truly tried to live up to the code of being a gentleman and gangster to fullest of my ability. I have been chasing the dollar bill since I was 12 years old I hustled I worked legal jobs and even manage to make my dream of making it as a rapper come true I have popped bottles before it was the thing to do , I have owned beamers, benzos , rovers, trucks etc etc etc I have lived in the ritz ,owned condos , houses traveled a lot of places etc etc etc but I can honestly tell you don't none of that shit add up or equal to love!! I have lost my brother , father , aunt , grandmother in law and too many good friends/ brothers and now my daughter!!!! But the only thing that can be done is to leave it in the creators hands . But I wouldn't be me if I didn't take this time out to say from the most humbled part of my heart and soul to say to yall that the dream most of us chase is not !!I repeat is not !!more valuable than the love you get from your family and friends it may seem like it is but it ain't they print money and make material shit everyday but once you used a love one that's it the spirit is with you but you will miss the physical and Won't be able to speak to them how you want to until you get home to the other side. So I just want to tell yall keep it family 1st and don't get lost and lose your focus the fam is way more important than anything else .... We lost a daughter but gained an angel . Love is love ..ghost
Our deepest condolences go out to Styles and his family.
DULUTH, Ga. (AP) — The brief, chaotic life of Bobbi Kristina Brown was never really her own.
Born and raised in the shadow of fame and litigation, shattered by the loss of her mother, Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina was overwhelmed by the achievements and demons of others before she could begin to figure out who she was.
Her demise was the most awful inheritance of all.
Bobbi Kristina died on Sunday at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Georgia, about six months after she was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in the suburban Atlanta townhome she shared with Nick Gordon, the man she called her husband. She was 22-years-old.
"Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family. She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months," Kristen Foster, a representative for the Houston family said Sunday.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed Bobbi Kristina's death Sunday night and will issue a news release on Monday.
Police said she was found Jan. 31. A police report described it as a "drowning."
Bobbi Kristina was the only child between Houston and Brown.
She was hospitalized for months in Atlanta — eventually being placed in hospice care — after being found in a manner grimly similar to the way her megastar mother died three years earlier. Gordon said at the time it seemed Bobbi Kristina wasn't breathing and lacked a pulse before help arrived.
Brown — the sole heir of her mother's estate — did have dreams.
She identified herself on Twitter as "Daughter of Queen WH," ''Entertainer/Actress" with William Morris & Co., and "LAST of a dying breed." She told Oprah Winfrey shortly after her mother's death in 2012 that she wanted to carry on her mother's legacy by singing, acting and dancing. But her career never took off. Actor and producer Tyler Perry said she had a future as an actress after her debut on his TV show "For Better or Worse" in 2012, but she only appeared in one episode. Aside from two ill-fated reality TV shows and the occasional paparazzi video, her image mostly showed up in the "selfies" she posted online.
She attended award shows and appeared on red carpets with her mother and father. She performed a duet with her mother in 2009, singing "My Love Is Your Love" in New York's Central Park. Shebecame social media sensation, sending more than 11,000 tweets and attracting 164,000 followers.
As the news of her death spread across social media, several celebrities tweeted their condolences.
Grammy-winning performer Missy Elliot tweeted, "My heart is truly heavy. May u rest in peace with your mommy #BobbiKristina sending prayers 2 the Brown/Houston family."
"Empire" star Taraji P. Henson tweeted, "Rest in heaven."
"RIP #BobbiKristina My deepest sympathies 2 your father #BobbyBrown n your GrandMa #CissyHouston We will miss ya 4sho darling ;) Actress Vivica A. Fox said on Twitter.
And Winfrey tweeted, "Peace at Last!"
Whitney Houston, known as "America's Sweetheart," was an impossible act to follow.
The late singer sold more than 50 million records in the United States alone during her career. Her voice, an ideal blend of power, grace and beauty, made classics out of songs like "Saving All My Love For You," ''I Will Always Love You" and "The Greatest Love of All." She earned six Grammys and starred in the films "The Bodyguard" and "The Preacher's Wife."
Bobby Brown, who had a bad-boy image, also became a huge star, selling platinum records with New Edition and going solo before drugs and legal woes derailed his career.
Bobbi Kristina appeared alongside both parents in 2005 on the Bravo reality show "Being Bobby Brown," which captured her parents fighting, swearing and appearing in court. The Hollywood Reporter said it revealed that Brown was "even more vulgar than the tabloids suggest," and managed "to rob Houston of any last shreds of dignity."
Years earlier, as Houston was preparing to give birth to Bobbi Kristina, she expressly left Bobby Brown out of her will, putting everything in a trust "for the benefit of her children and more remote descendants," according to the Houstons' 2012 petition.
After their divorce in 2007, Houston kept custody of Bobbi Kristina and raised her alongside Gordon, an orphan three years older than her daughter. Houston brought Gordon into her family, and while she never formally adopted him or included him in the will, both teenagers called her "mom."
The threesome's tight bond was shattered when Houston's assistant found the singer's lifeless body face-down in a foot of water in her bathtub at the Beverly Hilton just before the Grammy Awards in 2012. Authorities found prescription drugs in the suite, and evidence of heart disease and cocaine in her body, but determined her death was an accidental drowning.
Bobbi Kristina, then 18, was at the hotel and became so hysterical she had to be hospitalized. "She wasn't only a mother, she was a best friend," she told Winfrey.
She and Gordon then went public with their romance, posting defiant messages online after the tabloids accused them of incest.
The Houstons tolerated their relationship, appearing with them on television that year in Lifetime's reality show "The Houstons: On Our Own."
But in one telling episode, the late singer's relatives lectured the pair about drinking after they show up in an obviously altered state, and accused Gordon of failing to take care of the grieving girl.
Relations between Gordon and some other relatives continued to sour over the past year after Bobbi Kristina was hospitalized. A protective order barred him from being within 200 feet of Pat Houston, Bobbi Kristina's aunt. A feud erupted over whether Gordon could visit Bobbi Kristina while she stayed in the hospital.
On June 24, Bobbi Kristina's court-appointed representative sued Gordon, accusing him of misrepresenting his relationship with Bobbi Kristina. The complaint accused him of being violent toward her and taking more than $11,000 from her account while she was in a medically induced coma after the Jan. 31 tragedy.
The lawsuit also accused Gordon of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, unjust enrichment and conversion.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said he and his office are interested in reviewing the investigative file to determine whether any charges will be filed.
Also on June 24, Pat Houston said Bobbi Kristina had been placed in hospice care.
Bobbi Kristina was fabulously wealthy for a teenager, but her money was in a spendthrift trust, designed to keep creditors and predators from taking advantage of people who can't manage their money. Bobbi Kristina's grandmother, Cissy Houston, and aunt, Pat Houston, eventually took over control of the trust and then took Bobbi Kristina to court to protect the estate.
The Houstons called Bobbi Kristina "a highly visible target for those who would exercise undue influence over her inheritance and/or seek to benefit from (her) resources and celebrity," and urged a judge to delay how quickly she could control the money.
Bobbi Kristina agreed to the delay, and the judge granted their request to seal the case.
The size of Houston's estate is a privately held secret.
In May, a judge appointed Bobby Brown and Pat Houston as co-guardians of Bobbi Kristina, giving them joint responsibility in decisions related to her care and medical needs. Lawyer Bedelia Hargrove was appointed conservator to oversee Bobbi Kristina's assets, including her rights and legal claims.
Houston signed a $100 million record deal in 2001, but failed to deliver, and lost two homes to foreclosure toward the end of her life. But her untimely death revived a hunger for her music, and her name and likeness generated revenue that became part of Bobbi Kristina's inheritance.
By January 2014, the young couple who grew up as brother and sister were sharing a townhome in Roswell, Georgia, and calling themselves husband and wife.
They posted images of their hands wearing wedding rings, with the caption "#HappilyMarried. So #InLove. If you didn't get it the first time that is." They got identical "WH" tattoos with flying doves on their wrists, and Gordon added a large portrait of Houston's face on his arm.
Their marriage announcement troubled Pat Houston, who obtained a restraining order against Gordon two months later.
"Damn, lol, it's incredible how the world will judge you 4ANY&EVERYthing," Bobbi Kristina tweeted at the time.
By last September, Pat Houston said she was "very proud of Krissy."
"Young people today are up against so much with social media and everything else that presents itself to them," Pat Houston told The Associated Press. "We try to be there for her, just to try to guide and direct her."
Judging from her postings online, Bobbi Kristina was focused on the approaching anniversary of her mother's death. In one of her last tweets, she said, "Littlelady&yourgrowing young man @nickdgordon miss you mommy ..:') SOmuch.. loving you more every sec. #Anniversary!"

IfMeek Millwas bothered byDrake'snew diss song aimed at him, he's not showing it.
On Saturday, July 25, Drizzy released "Charged Up." Although no names are mentioned it's clear he was responding to Meek's claims that he uses ghostwriters.
Meek's Twitter response was brief and to the point.
"Baby lotion soft," the Philly rapper typed. "I can tell he wrote that 1 tho."
50 Cent recently traveled to Europe on a promotional run for the movie Southpaw. While there he sat down with DJ Semtex about preparing to release more songs from his Street King Immortal album, still getting nervous before performances, Jay Z erasing his "L" from "Ether" by signing Nas to Def Jam and more.

Hulk Hogan has been fired from the WWE for his use of the word nigger in a 2012 sex tape that recently surfaced.
The wrestler, real name Terry Bollea, was lamenting how much money he'd spent on his daughter, Brooke Hogan's, singing career when he began speaking about a "black billionaire guy" who had interest in funding her aspirations.
"I don’t know if Brooke was fucking the black guy’s son," Hulk said, according toRadar Online. "I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, fucking niggers. But then when it comes to nice people and shit, and whatever. I mean, I’d rather if she was going to fuck some nigger, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall nigger worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player! I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking nigger."
Brooke Hogan
TMZ caught up with Mike Epps to ask him about the controversy. The actor/comedian admits to at one point being a fan of Hulk's, but he added that the wrestler would no longer be welcome in the hood.
"It's over Hulk, that bandana is over with. No more hood pass. No more Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles," Epps said. "Black guys gon' keep dating your daughter."
Check out the video below. It's pretty damn hilarious.

Hot 97's Funkmaster Flex is sitting dead in the middle of the Drake ghostwriting controversy. After leaking Quentin Miller's reference track for "10 Bands" a couple of days ago, the DJ says there's more where that came from.
On Friday, July 24, Flex went nuclear on Twitter, claiming to have reference tracks for "Blessings," "R.I.C.O." and "Know Yourself."
Flex goes directly for Drizzy's neck and dares him to say he's not telling the truth. Peep it below.
AmidMeek Mill'sallegations thatDrakedoesn't write his own rhymes, a Detroit rapper is accusing the MMG rapper of stealing the hook to one of his songs.
17-year old Lil George dropped a song titled "Sauce" last year. Fast forward to June of 2015, when Meek released his Dreams Worth More Than Money album. On it is a track called "I Got the Juice."
According toTMZ, George claims Meek's hook was ripped off from his song. The young rapper isn't looking for a payoff, just an acknowledgement from Meek that he drew inspiration from George's track.
He shouldn't hold his breath because Meek's reps told TMZ that the Philly spitter never heard of George or his song before.
