THE CATCH-UP: STORIES WE MISSED LAST WEEK

Monday, May 7, 2007

I know last week kind of slow for CL standards - but if you didn’t know, all of us are college students and finals are no joke!! Tianna & Brian held it down though. Also, in a couple of weeks CL will have a new look. So be on the look out for that.

Anyway, here are a few stories we didn’t post about last week.

Nas Cancels Show After ‘Racist’ Employees Treat His Crew Like ‘Terrorists’

Rapper Nas canceled a recent tour date after he encountered “racist” club employees. The rap legend and his wife Kelis insists they were treated like “terrorists” at the San Diego House of Blues venue on May 2nd - the night the show was planned. He told allhiphop.com:

“There is no other side of the story. We were treated like terrorist. We had a whole bunch of security guys rush outside to me and my wife like we were terrorists. Its not like I came with 50 guys or nothing. It was just me, my wife, my DJ and my staff for the ‘Hip-Hop Is Dead” tour and they came at us like we was Osama Bin Laden or somebody,” Nas lamented on air….”Anybody that tolerates [racism] is a sucker in my book,” Nas concluded. “All of that gotta stop.”

Victim’s Husband Sues Brandy Over Fatal Crash

Brandy is being sued by the husband of a woman killed in a car crash that’s being blamed on the singer/actress. Awatef Aboudihaj’s spouse Marquane Hdidou filed wrongful death documents in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier today, naming Brandy - real name Brandy Norwood - and another motorist, Mallory Ham.

The documents claim the pair were driving “recklessly and carelessly”, “traveling too fast for conditions” and “following too closely” while on California’s 405 Freeway, and that these behaviors attributed to the collision that killed Hdidou’s wife in a four-car freeway crash on December 30.

Aboudihaj’s parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Brandy in January after police recommended the singer be charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. They are seeking $50 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

If found guilty of criminal charges, Brandy faces a maximum sentence of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine, reports TMZ.com.

BUSTA RHYMES WAS ARRESTED ON A DUI CHARGE

Busta Rhymes was arrested on a drunken driving charge on May 3rd, police said, marking the latest in a series of recent legal troubles for the rapper.

Officers stopped Rhymes at about 12:40 a.m. because the sport utility vehicle he was driving had overly tinted windows, Sgt. Mike Wysokowski said. He said officers then smelled alcohol on the rapper’s breath.

Rhymes, 34, was taken into custody on a charge of driving while impaired, Wysokowski said. An arraignment was expected later Thursday.

A lawyer for Rhymes, Scott Leemon, declined to comment early Thursday, saying he would address the charges in court.

The rapper has since been released on a $7,500 Bail.

That’s too bad for Nas and wifey and crew. It’s not nice being treated like that.

I feel very sad for Brandy. They act like she meant to kill the woman.

No she didn’t mean to kill the woman , but if that was my family I would’ve been upset that she was driving WRECKLESSLY to began with. Celebrity or not. If this was the other way around and Brandy was the victim. People would want the murderers burned at the stake.

She got Lloyds of London Insurance. She will settle for an undisclosed amount, and hopefully getting her azz back in the studio and making some mo dough! Nas and Kellis are some hot azz mess…I am waiting for the reality show to drop so we can really see how these two freaky deaks get down…I am not surprised about the HOB though…that is really messed up! Busta Busted again=>NEXT…Tired of his old shit already!

1) I wish all of y’all who are doing finals the best of luck! I got exams comin up 2 and I know how much time revising can take so we appreciate y’all for still givin us some juicy ass gossip! GOOD LUCK

2)Wow Nas, some white folks were acting rascist against ur black self??? No way??? GTFOH! Jeez…some peepz act like rascism is a new thing. Welcome to the real world Nasir

3)That dude might be angry with Brandy and seeking revenge for his loss and in a way I don’t begrudge him suing her…but $50mill is just being plain opportunistic. His ass should be jailed……

3)Busta is a damn..busta! But for some reason i find him hella sexy.I can just tell from his face & physique that he would be rough n nasty with me in bed

I feel sorry for Brandy and the victim’s family. But from the looks of it, he seems to be suing her for a bit much. Didn’t he have insurance?

Is he trying to open a business up over here? Did anybody check for his green card/visa/passport? For all we know that $50 million dollars could be his meal ticket in………..legally. I’m just sayin.

Busta Rhymes has lost all my respect. He was cool when he was Bussa Bus, but his whole “Big Bang” image is sooo not wassup. *throwing up Loser fingers* ‘L’

Dang, Brandy is simply not having a good year. She need to turn those holistic books loose and go have a serious talk w/Jesus! Seriously.

LOL@ that pic of Kelis…..where the hell she get them glasses from? My mom used to sport those in 87! No lie! LOL She had them in 3 colors. The red Sally Jesse Raphael joints were the funniest!
Anyways, if thats really what went down at the club, then I dont blame Nasir for cancelling his show. Racism is not to be tolerated under any circumstances. I bet the House of Blues is going to try and sue him for breech of contract! (and loss of business if they had to refund tickets)

Brandy is my girl hands down! I hope she gets through this mess. I feel that the victims family is being greedy. Brandy keep praying and it will be alright.

You go Nas- don’t take crap from nobody- it must stop.

Busta- HAM

umm first of all, nas and kelis need to stop bein so touchy. they always think somebody is out to get them.

Busta Rhymes is not 34, that would mean he was rapping at like 12, he’s more like 40 something.

-damn muh poor brandy, she cant catch a break, when somethin else settles another comes up, she jus needs to PRAY. Even tho somebody did die doesnt mean that somebody should have they ass chewed out dats jus plain wrong, da lady already being sued for 50 mil and he act like his wife’s parentas aint gon give him some of it, like wat lashonda said, he’s being opportunistic. damn four months pass and now his ass wanna sue some damn body, he shoulda been did it if he was goin do it. I kno wat it is, I think its their lawyers tellin them to do it, they wanna milk her dry. She needs to let go and let God becuz he will get them in the end cuz he kno dat she aint kill dat lady intentionally.

-but on busta he needs to sit his ass down somewhere…lol…ol ass but i aint gon lie he be having some banging siongs doe.

Good for you Nas, you don’t have to tolerate that foolishness.

Brandy, I hope this will all end for you soon. I understand Mr. Hdidou is upset and still suffering from his loss, but $50 million is out of control, and the amount should’ve never been disclosed. It does make him look a little greedy.

Busta….why? You’re already standing trial for assault and now this. SMH

17.

Such Magnificence

Monday, May 7, 2007 /

LMAO @ So That Diva…I know those glasses are NOT where its at! Kelis loves attention…a true Leo indeed lol:-).

As for Busta I’m not even surprised…I’ve thought he was crazy after the whole machete incident.

Poor Brandy…I mean that whole situation is unfortunate. Her year is not going well at all…I knew someone who killed someone in a car accident but the person she killed actually jumped in front of her car and committed suicide. It took her almost a year to get behind the wheel again…

I feel bad for Brandy, I mean how many wrecks do you see in the middle of heavy traffic? It Happens. It’s unfortunate that the lady died but they act like Brandy was drunk or even speeding. Brandy rear-ended the lady and pushed her into another lane but like three other cars hit her too right? Why is nobody suing them?

That’s right Nas. Let them know. We ain’t gonna stand for it! He did the right thing. I hope that club lost out on major money that night.

@Brandy, keep ya head up. It will get better in due time.

@Busta, whateva!

#19 - I agree, it’s called an “accident” for a reason. This was just an unfortunate tragedy but I can also see it from the family’s point of view, there is a child (or children?) left without a mother now and they are hurt and distraught and they probably just wanna blame somebody. The whole situation is horrible for everyone involved.

What in the hell is wrong with Busta????Deelishis come get your man, boo.

As for Brandy, I can’t say I seen that coming because I think we all did.

Good for Nas, don’t have to tolerate bullshit.

1. Nas and Kelis do not need that foolishness in their lives. Glad to see that they won’t take that racist shit from anybody.
2. Brandy, God is with you. I agree with everyone, that husband is just an opportunist. His greedy tail needs to be ashamed for using his wife like this. Brandy will need to do something.
3. Busta…you stupid ass.
