ROUND UP: CHRIS & RIHANNA RUMORS / DADDY KNOWLES RESPONDS / LIL’ WAYNE INDICTED
Friday, February 15, 2008

So the rumors don’t stop with Chris Brown and Rihanna being the new “it” young couple on the scene. After looking cozy at LA Reid’s post-Grammy party (above), People reported that Brown was recently spotted at Rihanna’s 20th birthday party:
When partygoers (like Kanye West and Wilmer Valderrama) weren’t flinging cupcakes, they offered a standing ovation after Chris Brown sang an acapella version of “Happy Birthday.” While Brown has denied that he and the birthday gal are dating (”We’re just friends … we hang out,” he told PEOPLE at a post Grammy party), a party guest tells us the two were cuddling and acting “very cozy all night.”
Folks are saying they are definitely together after this photo of Rihanna visiting Chris on the set of Jordin Sparks new video leaked out. Who knows - this girl has been linked to everybody by now…
DADDY KNOWLES DON’T PLAY

So if you didn’t hear, Aretha Franklin was kind of confused when Beyonce called Tina Turner “the Queen” at the Grammys that past on Sunday. Daddy Knowles a.k.a Matthew Knowles has responded in that good ole fatherly way:
“Something this ridiculous – it’s childish, it’s unprofessional,” Mathew Knowles said in a statement Thursday. “And it’s a sad day when egos get bruised because somebody used the word king, queen, prince or princess.”
and he told CelebTV.com:
“As a manager I am not taking something this ridiculous to Beyonce. Beyonce referred to Tina Turner as a ‘queen,’” “Not queen of gospel, queen of soul, queen of blues, Queen of England. I consider my wife a queen and sometimes call her that. Does Aretha have a problem with that?”
Okay then. So in other words, don’t be talking about his daughter…
LIL WAYNE INDICTED ON FELONY CHARGES

Lil Wayne is someone who isn’t doing to well right now. The rapper was indicted by a Yuma County (Arizona) jury on felony drug and weapon charges:
The 25-year-old rapper, whose name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., was charged with one count each of possession of a narcotic drug for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, misconduct involving weapons and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the indictment.
Carter pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Friday. His attorney, James Tilson, said Tuesday that Carter’s tour would continue as scheduled. Carter is due back in court March 7 for a status hearing. READ MORE
In the past two years alone he has been arrested three times on drug charges, including the incident leading to this and once on gun charges.

It was Childish for Aretha the damn Queen of Soul to even mention something like this. I’m a huge fan of Aretha’s but she was feelin herself a lil 2 much.
BUT: It was even MORE childish, Divalike, unprofessional for Daddy Knowles to even open his mouth. He needs to take a cue from his daughter and be quiet sometimes. That way Aretha’s little diva fit would have stood out on it’s own for what it was.
He is so predictable. He can’t even see the press runs to him for stupid comments to make his daughter look bad.
LIL Wayne: HIp Hop Police strike again. U have been warned.
Chris and RiRi?—–Sex and publicity. That’s all it is.
kind.

Yall need to just calm the fuck down. Mathew is right to stand up for his daughter, 1. That’s his daughter 2. He’s her manager. Beyonce doesn’t have the damn time to be arguing with publicity and correcting other Artists. If Aretha wants to increase the chances of a heart attack stressing over this shit then let her, yall are acting like Beyonce sent here Daddy out there to say that, she probably didn’t even know this was going on and her father decided to comment without her knowing. But what is the point, because on CL every issue with Beyonce..Beyonce is the “ISSUE”.
Lil’ Wayne is whack anyways, he is such a bad example and I have absolutely no respect for him. I would NEVER allow a young boy or girl to listen to him because his music is trash and he is setting scuh a horrible example in doing drugs and how he treats women and raps about it in his songs..from detail to detail. If he wants to become this best rapper he needs to know how to control himself. I rather let a 5 year listen to Jay-Z than a 15 year old listen to Lil’Wayne..and I am serious.

First of all beauty is in the eye of the beholder, therefore I hope the person that called Chris ugly does not look like a monkey because that will be messed up. Secondly, why do all the chick heads always hate on Rihanna? I find that most people who spit negativity have a lot of personal issues that they try to hide by calling out others…when they are a hot mess them self. Lastly, not everyone is a hoe. Is it a crime for Rihanna to go out to eat or to a movie with another celebrity? I think not. You people are just too much and the sad thing about it is most of you don’t have a job, on welfare, high school drop outs or hoes sleeping around with every tom dick and harry for a few coins. My suggestion…get yourself together and stop hating on others, because it gets you no where fast.

MATTHEW KNOWLES IS NOTHING BUT A DUMB POP-EYED PUPPET BASTARD. HE’S A GREEDY BITCH. HE REACTS SO STRONGLY WHEN IT COMES TO BEYONCE, NOT BECAUSE HE LOVES HER SOOOO MUCH, BUT BECAUSE HE’S A GREEDY ASS BITCH PROTECTING THE MONEY TRAIN. HE SICKENS ME, AND THE WAY HE RESPONDED TO ARETHA WAS VERY NIGGARDLY, DISRESPECTFUL, AND DOWN RIGHT FUCKED UP. I HOPE ONE DAY IN THE NEAR FUTURE HE LOSSES EVERYTHING HE’S GAINED WHILE IN THE THROWS OF HIS LUST AND GREED FOR RICHES…HE IS AN OPPORTUNIST AND A LYING MANIPULATOR. I DON’T TRUST ONE WORD THAT FALLS FROM HIS LIPS.

I agree with your response…I maybe wouldn’t be as harsh…a little more eloquent…not that harsh. But I do agree.
Aretha Franklin responded out of pure jealousy. She made a statement back in the day…when they compared her and Natalie Cole’s style. Aretha’s comments,”Do not compare me to that drug addict.”
That is an example of the jealous and unnecessary comments Aretha make.
There is nothing wrong with being jealous of someone…but when you bring it outside the abundance of your heart and into the public’s existence…that’s when it’s a problem.
Yes…I think Aretha’s talent has spanned of time and she earned her title as “Queen of Soul” but I understand and respect Matt K’s response as a manager and father.
Beyonce can refer to Tina as her Queen…and to what the cue cards posted for her to say.
And as far as the jealous ones that bash Beyonce…I think her talent, beauty, and eloquence speak for itself. Beyonce is building her legacy to follow in the footsteps of Tina Turner as-we-speak.
So ask yourselves…what legacy are you building/leaving?
A legacy of Jealousy maybe?

AND THOUGH I LOVE TINA TURNER, SHE AINT THE QUEEN OF SHIT….SOME OF YOU BITCHES ON HERE JUST SAYING IT BECAUSE THAT DING BAT BEYONCE SAID IT. MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE ON HERE WOULD NOT REALLY KNOW WHAT TINA WAS ABOUT HAD THEY NOT WATCHED THE MOVIE WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT…..SO THAT FACT THAT YOU CONSIDER HER A QUEEN IS FAKE, AND INDICATIVE OF THE WAY BLACK PEOPLE ARE FUCKIN FOLLOWERS, YOU ARE SIMPLY REPEATING THE SHIT BECAUSE BEYONCE SAID IT.
NO ONE CREDIBLE CONSIDERS TINA TURNER A QUEEN, GET REAL…SHE WAS ORIGINALLY A RHYTHM AND BLUES SINGER, AND SWITCHED TO ROCK, AND IN BOTH FIELDS, AT NO FUCKIN TIME IN HER CAREER, WAS SHE CONSIDERED THE BEST IN HER MUSIC GENRE. YOU BITCHES ARE BAND WAGON JUMPERS, JUMPING ON THE BAND WAGON OF WHAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS SAID, WITHOUT CREDIBLE FACTS.
ARETHA ON THE OTHER HAND WAS NOTABLY CONSIDERED THE BEST IN HER MUSIC GENRE, THEREFORE, BEING DUBBED “THE QUEEN”. JUST CAUSE SHE’S HUGELY FAT NOW, DOESN’T TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM WHAT SHE HAS ACCOMPLISHED AND RECEIVED. IT’S JUST FUCKED UP HOW BLACK PEOPLE HAVE NO FUCKING LOYALTY OR RESPECT, AND ARE SO QUICK TO THROW AWAY OUR MOST VALUED LEGENDS IN TIME. JUST DISGUSTING.

I came on this website several of times…and realized how pathetic many of you posters sound. You people must live vicariously through these celebrities’ lives. And that is why trashy sites like CL.com, TMZ, and other celebrity gossips site were created to feed no-life having, vicarious people who feed of of celebrities lives to spice up theirs!
In my book:
Fuck manufactured Beyonce and her daddy.
Fuck whining Chris Brown and that boulder-head Rihanna.
Fuck all celebrities that ain’t paying for my college tuition, books, phone bill, life insurance, et cetera! Fuck all celebrities who have not contributed to my life in any way, shape or form.
Y’all need to learn to say that. Looking at celebrity photos, getting fashion ideas or having a favorite celeb is one thing. But spending countless hours online debating their private lives, guessing how much they make or who their baby daddy is, guess if Beyonce’s weave is natural or synthetic or is Alicia Keys got a penis or not or if Kanye is a hybrid species of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a groundhog IS ANOTHER THING!

@clear you don’t sound 25 at all. i read your post clearly and aside from your “tina’s my girl” statement, you said nothing nice. 1) you said “OK TINA DID NOT WRITE NONE OF HER MUSIC SHE JUST PERFORM” yes ike wrote most of the songs but tina did write a couple. i’m aware that aretha is a better songwriter but you stated a lie. 2) tina also went through her own struggles so why did you mention aretha’s life without a man/with babies like that makes her special. hundreds of women go through things and come out on top 3) so what? ike taught tina how to sing. aretha’s vocal coach was James Cleveland. are you going to say that she would be nothing without him? everyone needs someone. ike needed tina just as much as tina needed him. nothing wrong with that and it doesn’t take away from her talent 4) you can talk about aretha’s “dancing” skills all you want but tina kills her in that area just like aretha kills tina in the songwriting area
anyway to the ppl who are questioning tina’s title as queen of rock & roll, mick jagger himself called her that and he’s one of the most important rock frontmen in history. if you don’t like it, write him a letter of disapproval. my guess is he’ll tear it up anyway.

zjust one question:
If Areatha Franklin never made a statement, would you all be discussing this? My guess is no. NO ONE paid attention to what Beyonce said until Areatha made her intro an issue. I mean for real…how many award shows have you all watched when someone is honored and that person is the best of the best for that night and many other “bests” are in the audience!! I remember correctly, the tribute was for Tina Turner. I wonder if Mary was honored that night and Areatha and Tina’s pic came across the screen as pioneers who paved the way, then Keyshia Cole announced Mary as the Queen of Hip Hop and Soul, would Areatha be upset with Keyshia and the grammy’s for calling Mary a queen- Hell no…… And for those of you that will challenge that scenario, it is the same thing!
Get a life Areatha and all of you who are backing her up. Its silly.

To be honest if Rihanna is dating CB then its cool they look good together, i wish they wiouldn’t lie about it though cause its like deceiving their fans.
Rihanna is entailed to live her life and she should do that because sooner or later people will get bored of her so why not live it up for as long as it lasts.
Weezy-Hot mess
Aretha- Hotter Mess

Here is why I don’t believe the rumor to be true.
Rihanna has been linked to everybody from Josh Hartnett, Shia LaBeouf, Bow wow, Omarion and Chris. I read in more than two magazines that Shia and her were dating. I also read a quote directly from her saying that she kissed Josh once while they were out on a date and to say that they were just friends would be untrue. While the fling with Josh and her was going on she was still supposedly dating Chris. Chris has been linked to quite a few females as well. From his manager, to llil mama, to Jordin Sparks, to Keisha Chante and Rihanna. Both of them still say that they are just friends and when she went out with Josh she admitted it. I think people need to stop making up this hype. They are just good friends. Oh and p.s. I’m not one of the teenagers obsessed with neither Rihanna or Chris so I have no reason to be hurt by this lie. Plus she was rumored to have stole JayZ away from Beyonce which is impossible. When you are young and new to this industry people make things up about you.

The Aretha Franklin incident has been blown out of proportion. Aretha has a beef with the writers (people who actually put the words on the telepromter), not Beyonce. No one is thinking about Matthew Knowles…….
