Chris Brown is now a suspect in an investigation for battery. Allegedly, the victim told police the singer “smacked the back of her head so hard that her weave came off.”

TMZ reported that over the weekend police responded to Brown’s San Fernando Valley residence where the victim, an unidentified woman, says the singer put hands on her. The outlet went onto report that the police “took a battery report and named Chris as the suspect.”

Reportedly, the victim had no physical injuries besides the damage to her hairstyle and as of yet, no arrests have been made. TMZ additionally reported that “the battery case will most likely be kicked to the City Attorney, as it would be a misdemeanor charge… if anything at all.”

As highlighted, this is the second time in the past several months that the police have been called to the singer’s home. Back in May, the LAPD ended up breaking up a “massive birthday bash” there. Relatedly, as we reported on this past April, the singer was sued by the former housekeeper of his L.A. residence after her sister was allegedly “viciously” attacked and injured by one of his dogs.

While he didn’t speak on the reports directly, Brown seemingly addressed the claims that he slapped the victim’s weave off. On the morning of June 22, the singer posted on his Instagram Stories, “YALL SO DAMN [CAP]” with a string of laughing emojis to follow.

Essentially, saying something or someone is “cap” implies that whatever narrative is being spread might be being over-exaggeration or not an accurate presentation of the truth.

“Fans have been pointing out that Chris is regularly caught up in these kinds of allegations, noting that it seems to happen every single year.” Hot New Hip Hop aptly mentioned, in their coverage

While speaking about the female rapper’s upcoming memoir on a recent episode of her daytime TV talk show, Wendy Williams alleged that Foxy Brown and Jay-Z had a romantic relationship back in the day.

The rapper announced that her book was on the way and would be released at the end of this year via her Instagram Stories last week. As per the details shared, it’ll be co-written by Kim Osario, the former Editor-In-Chief of The Source Magazine.

“Foxy Brown has a memoir coming out in December,” Williams said last Wednesday (June 16). “You might not care… [The book] is calling upon the most controversial moments of her history and life and hip-hop and so on and so forth. Kim [Osorio], please don’t be weak with this writing. Please — if you’re gonna tell it, tell it good.”

“Foxy is very open about her life, you know she’s still dealing with her hearing,” the host said referencing Brown’s ongoing recovery from a year of deafness that she experienced back in 2005. According to Williams, the situation has made the rapper “apprehensive” about returning to the stage.

“But I remember when Foxy and Jay-Z had ‘I’ll Be’ — Foxy was the star of that,” Williams later added. Speaking on the inside scoop she had about when the two rappers were supposedly an item — while throwing a little shade — the host continued, “[Jay-Z and Foxy Brown were] allegedly a romantical thing. Alright, I’ll say alleged but we know, we know. Yeah, she hit it before Beyoncé! Allegedly. Mhm.”

“This is not necessarily a book that I would read,” Williams concluded about Brown’s upcoming read. “But this is a book that I would hear on tape. The thing is that Foxy can’t do her book on tape [due to her hearing issues]. But get somebody to put this book on tape!”

Are y’all with Williams on this one? Will you be reading Brown’s book when it drops?

Juneteenth is a day that has historically recognized the perseverance and power of the Black community.

Over the last two years, taking time to recognize and reflect on this holiday has only gained added significance.

Black art, and Black storytelling in particular, provides audiences the opportunity to see both the reality and the possibility of Black lives in America.

Candyman first appeared on film in Bernard Rose’s 1992 cult classic as a vengeful, mystical entity, a victim of a brutal hate crime who externalizes his pain in the same community that once turned against him.

Nia DaCosta found inspiration to bring Candyman into a new age. As director of this year’s Candyman, she has created a film rooted in horror that reframes the Candyman legend with new urgency.

Produced by Jordan Peele, this film is an exciting, terrifying, entertaining, scary-as-hell horror film that also speaks to the movement and momentum of Black lives now.

In this piece, Nia articulates her intentions for her film on the eve of Juneteenth.
