Nick Gordon Reportedly Refuses To Talk To Bobby Brown Or The Police About What Happened To Bobbi Kristina. Gordon Responds, Says The Browns Have Threatened His Life
Nick Gordon is the prime suspect in the unexplained incident that has left Bobbi Kristina Brown in a coma.
The 21-year old daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston was found unresponsive and face down in the bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia home on Saturday, January 31st.
Since Bobbi was admitted to the hospital Nick has not been allowed to see his girlfriend because Bobby won't allow it.
Bobby Brown's lawyer, Chris Brown, told TMZ on Monday, February 23, 2015, that Gordon has not been forthcoming with information about facial injuries found on Bobbi by medical personnel after he administered CPR.
"It appears that Mr. Gordon did not want his understanding of the facts to be subject to the truthful examination of various experts or Bobby Brown himself," Chris said. "Mr. Gordon has every right to remain silent and not share his version of events with Bobby Brown. Mr. Gordon is not as desperate to visit Bobbi Kristina as he wants the world to believe."
Gordon took to Twitter to fire off a few rounds. Saying among other things that Bobby was never there for his daughter and he's received death threats.

Snoop Dogg Shares His Thoughts On The Grammys By Using Picture Of Macklemore
Hip Hop's issues with the Grammys extends all the way back to 1989 when members of the community boycotted the telecast, because the initial "Best Rap Performance" award was not being aired on television.
Fast forward to 2015 and again none of the rap categories were shown during the broadcast. There was also controversy surrounding last year's ceremony when Macklemore's The Heist won the "Best Rap Album" trophy over Kendrick Lamar's critically acclaimed good kid, m.A.A.d. city.
One rap representative is ready for Hip Hop to completely ignore the Grammys altogether. West Coast legend Snoop Dogg posted a picture on his Instagram page which points out Macklemore has picked up more Grammy awards than some of the greatest artists from the culture- combined.
Snoop captioned the photo with a very blatant statement, "Fuck the Grammys. We need a Hip Hop show for real ni**az and real MCs."
Suge Knight’s Depiction In “Straight Outta Compton” Reportedly Led To Fatal Hit-And-Run
By Henry Mansell
Dr. Dre allegedly never asked Suge Knight for permission to include his likeness in the forthcoming N.W.A. biopic.
Suge Knight's portrayal in the upcoming N.W.A. biopic "Straight Outta Compton" led to the fatal hit-and-run last month, according to TMZ.
The publication reports that Dr. Dre never asked the former CEO of Death Row Records for permission to incorporate his likeness in the film, and this subsequently led to the parking lot incident where Suge Knight reportedly struck three men with his vehicle, injuring two and killing his friend, Terry Carter.
"Sources connected to Suge tell TMZ...he got word he was included in the film, and wanted to talk to Dre about how he was being portrayed," the article says. "As we've reported...Suge's friend Terry Carter helped set up the meeting.
"As for what Suge was so worried about- a new trailer for the movie was just released, and there is a character whupping someone's ass in the studio...who looks like Suge," TMZ adds. "Suge and Dre's sit-down never happened because Suge got into a fight with actor Cle "Bone" Sloan...and eventually backed up over him and Carter."
This news comes just after Suge Knight's attorney David Kenner revealed that his client's health issues were being treated as "serious," after the music executive was hospitalized earlier this month after suffering from an intense physical reaction to a potentially fatal blood clot.
"They're serious," David Kenner said when asked about Suge's health issues. "We filed a motion today as the first step to get an evaluation by the medical staff at the jail. After we have that we're going to be reporting back to the court, so that the court can make a determination as to having a private physician evaluate him."

Another srtist who helped lay the foundation for Cash Money Records has filed a lawsuit against the label. Turk, a former member of the Hot Boys, is taking Birdman and Slim to court in an attempt to collect money he was allegedly cheated out of.

Tupac Letter Reveals He Was Planning To Work With OutKast and Goodie Mob
Video Below
Before he died, tupac was said to be working on a collaboration album called One Nation, which would feature rappers from all over the country and ostensibly help temper the simmering East Coast/West Coast situation.
Rappers like NYC's Buckshot and Smif-n-Wessun, Houston's Scarface and Cali's E-40 were rumored to be on the album. Thanks to a letter Tupac sent to a buddy named Big Lock and was just unearthed by the Internet, we now know that Atlanta's Outkast and Goodie Mob were connected to the project.
The entire 1996 letter is below, and while it isn't "official," it's in Pac's handwriting.
It's interesting to read, beyond the Outkast reference. Among other things, the legendary emcee takes a shot at his rival Biggie Smalls, and then uses a pre-email era emoticon.

Common & Fellow Panelists Discuss Unwed Mothers & Black Fatherhood On “The Nightly Show” (VIDEO)
.jpgaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.jpg)
Video Below.
Actor/emcee Common was one of the panelists on Wednesday's episode of The Nightly Show. The Chicago native appeared on the Comedy Central late night program to discuss Black fatherhood.
Com was joined by New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow, President of the Center For Urban Families Joe Jones, and The Nightly Show contributor Mike Yard. The segment began with a clip of CNN's Don Lemon reporting that 72% of children in the African-American community are born to unwed mothers.
"The number, it definitely hit hard in a way. I didn't expect it to be that high," stated Common. "When I hear 72%, it makes me think- 'Well, that's the number of unwed, but...that doesn't mean the father is absent."
The conversation eventually turned to whether African-Americans are too defensive on talking about the subject of personal responsibility. The show's host Larry Wilmore mentioned the criticism individuals like President Barack Obama and comedian Bill Cosby received when they spoke out about the subject.
"Of course, among our community we feel sometimes when you talk about family business out in the open- some people feel like 'Why you wanna talk about it?'" explained the "Glory" rapper. "We need to talk about it. It needs to be discussed, and if some feelings get hurt with the truth then that truth is part of the healing process. So I don't mind when certain elders say what they say about us as fathers, we need to step up. But I don't like the generalizations either."
The guests also played a round of "Keep It 100." Each man had to answer questions about playing in the Super Bowl versus being at the birth of their child and the perception Black women are too bossy.
