Darnell Smith, 35, who goes by the name “Belo,” is one-third of Do or Die, a pioneering hip-hop group from the West Side best known for its breakthrough single “Po Pimp” from its 1996 platinum album “PictureThis.” The group has sold more than three million albums.

Belo pleaded guilty Thursday to second-degree murder for the November 2002 shooting death of Raynard “B-Dog” Pinkston. Under a plea deal, Smith will receive a 10-year sentence.

“I think it’s a good outcome, and I thank God for it,” said Pinkston’s brother D’Angelo Dixon. “I’m glad that guy got 10 years.” [ READ MORE ]

    That is so screwed. Now you know if that had been Charlize Theron or Julia Roberts, that question would have never been asked. See, black people think it’s all good, racism is dead… you still just another black ho, they’ve just found better ways to disguise their racism…

    That was so tasteless and trashy.

  4. If I was Janet I would not have answered that BS either!

    very unprofessional for the news casters….love how he (tyler) handled the situation

  7. Were they really interested in that movie? I don’t think so. I don’t blame Janet for not answering – she was caught off guard about something that was irrelevant to what she was there to talk about. I’m glad Tyler stepped in. If it were me I would have ended that interview.

    White folks outta control. See, Tyler would have been wrong if he would have gotten straight niggarific. But I’m glad he didn’t because they would have tried to flip the script about him being the “typical irate black person”. Kudos to Tyler. That goes to show white folks are straight monkeys.

    i agree w/ 71; janet’s interviews arent always that well. she seems so flighty with her answers sometimes; but shes Janet so, whatever. =]
    but other than that. The cast was rude as hell, and i dont know who mr. whomever that was but, get over it! damn! if you dont like her so much, dont put her on your station.
    sheesh,

  10. Phillyjawn

    #163….yooooo ROFLLLLL that was hilarious

  11. Noel

    That was so ignorant how they treated her. If they wer their to talk about the movie then let it be about the movie. “It really did affect us we work at CBS dont nobody give a fuck about waht affected them” and you re point for being rude was that come with somethnig better.Yall just wanted to be someass holes MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! I loved how Tyler Perry handle them get’em Tyler. I cant believe that that Do or Die dude is about to go to jail. I reallly like their songs like “Do U” “Do U Wanna ride” and Money flow its tooo bad he really took it too far :(

  12. Noel

    OH YEAH CONGRATS TO COREY HARRIS GET THAT MONEY

  13. Phatabulous

    Poor Janet,She looks humiliated.But go tyler for sticking up for her.I can’t wait to see the movie.

  14. Gemini205

    I truly believe he asked that irrelevant and unprofessional question to try to taint the success of this movie by knowing the crap that they were saying would make it to You Tube. I hope Tyler’s movie makes it to #1.

    Notice how the racist pricks tired to justify the bringing it up saying they are on a CBS station and were affected by it. Total bull. They acted like money came out their own paychecks. She was one of the one they had to pay six figures in fines. Janet was affected the hardest and still is. I can’t believe people are still trying tear her down over this, but yet none of it affects Justin. I bet if those news anchors actually interviewed Justin instead of her, they wouldn’t have said a word.

    Lord forgive me, but I hate white people sometimes.

  15. Gemini205

    Oh yeah, I will definitely be sending an email to this station for their unprofessionalism and disrespect.

  16. Nicky

    Tyler Perry. I would marry you if i was not already married. I just love the way you stood up for the sister. This is why i could never f^k a white man. Them bastards are racists as all hell. Like how many years ago was this again? Damn, Janets Breast must have made an impression on them white people, cause they seem to be the only ones that can’t get over it. HOW RUDE! ERRRRRRRRRRRRR!

  17. Annette

    This interview shows how white muthafuckas think seriously.

  18. I am just as angry as you are all, but please stop with the all-white-people-are-evil-white-devils type of thinking. Its just as ignorant as what they did to Janet/Tyler.

  19. me2

    She should have told them go to hell

  20. SheSoCrazy

    YEA TYLER!!! haha. They didn’t get what they want. Someone should have told that dumb ass reporter to stfu. Behind every successful black person is a pack of white haters.

  21. aijuswannasay

    *UCKIN WHITE DEVILS…

    SHOUT TO WHOEVER POSTED THE EMAIL ADDRESSES!!! WAY TO BE ON YA D!

  22. Chanizzle

    Ugh those white people are so ignorant and they always find a way to bring black people down. they lucky that tyle perry got class and he wouldnt cuss they dumb asses out right there. Once again tryna make back people look them but they dont know that they made themselves and the station look dumb. all of them should get fired.

  23. YOOOO

  24. Prettynikki

    Stop wit all this white people hate. I understand yall are mad but it doesn’t make black people look any better than those newscasters by sayin “I fuckin hate white people.” Let’s mature a lil.

    That news anchor is just trying to get a job on some B rated gossip news show. He’s harsh, insensetive, judgemental and is in bad need of a hair stylist! Ms. J would do him justice with his posture as well…he looked weak and just like a snake while asking the questions. Janet maintained her composure, that’s for sure. Tyler should’ve said, “Although we were warned you might “go there” still we’d expected a more classy execution!”

  27. Jen

    That newscrew was so disrespectful and tactless. They would have never acted that way toward a white celebrity. I wish I knew who the one anchor was who kept pushing the issue so I could send him hate mail. He is an absolute disgrace.

  28. HARLEMBROWN67

    Nigga’s and flys are just like shit, see how foolish can you be? Life allow’s you a way out of the ghetto and you thank your fans by throughing our money way. What a waste of flesh. See ya SUCKER, hope you are not to many bitches while your gone…

  29. HARLEMBROWN67

    Janet, you handled yourself well,… Damn shit happens and now it’s OVER white america LET it GO!!! Your movie with the cast and crew of Tyler Perry was off the hook, keep doing your thang…

  30. Jerome

    Big ups to Mr. Perry. Show them Morons what sticking to the script really means.
