So it’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday! And what a week it’s been. I am rounding up the most memorable and craziest moments that happened this week:
1. Chris Brown Explains Ending Drake Beef
Chris Brown recently sat down with Sway for an MTV interview and they had a little chat about the whole Drake-Rihanna situation and him being invited to appear on the ESPYs to create that hilarious Drake-Blake ESPY skit.
“His camp actually called me to do the skit. Especially after getting out of jail, I didn’t have any animosity towards anybody. I wanted to be able to bring light to the situation and just grow up. I’m 25 and I’m not getting younger. You can’t walk around holding grudges, looking over your shoulder and being negative all the time. I’m tired of being looked at as the aggressor, so I just wanted to show my maturity.
Working on music is something we’re gonna continuously try to do and make happen. I know it’ll be a big thing for the fans if they hear a song –- but it has to be the right song, for both of us, at the end of the day.”
It seems like Christopher Maurice is maturing and evolving which is wonderful. Chris Brown also had a good performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon sporting red and lots of gold jewelry. He looked healthy and he had some smooth dance moves while performing his new single “X” and of course “Loyal.” I had a chance to see Chris recently at the BET Awards this year when he came out with Trey Songz and August Alsina and he performed his ass off. Glad to see this young man maturing and I hope that he stays on this path by creating great music and performances. I think we are all looking forward to that tour he and Trey Songz have been talking about.
X is in stores on September 16th.
2. Ellen Parodies Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda”
Ellen presented us with her hilarious version of Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” video this week. Lots of hardcore booty poppin y’all. Ellen like you’ve never seen her before:

4. Nas is officially done with his album. Single coming soon.
When ScHoolboy Q released the remix to his hit single “Studio” he decided to do so by featuring the hip-hop god Nas. In the song Nas took the time to make a few announcements:
Finished up my new album, single ’bout to be droppin’
Last album on Def Jam and I got so many options
Maybe I go to Vetton, and Rollie on arm, couple cigars
They say aren’t you Nas, I say nah
They say I know you a star, they say I know who you are
But I’m really late night in the stu
Got a call from a dark (?), from the (?) listener, let’s (?)
Pussy stock going up, I think it’s cause all of these checks
I think it’s cause you love yourself and smooth thugs from the (?)
When Belly’s on TV the only time that I receive your texts
Shit I must be poppin’, got so many options
Tall models, short models, big girls to coke bottles
Church girls to bad bitches, I’m interviewin’, holla
Last album on Def Jam is dropping soon and ladies he’s interviewing so put in your applications!
5. Ray Rice Banned from NFL
We’ve all heard the story or seen the video. After TMZ posted the video of Ray Rice 2-piecing his then fiancee, Janay Rice, he was immediately suspended indefinitely from the Baltimore Ravens.
Before the video came out he was only given a 2 day suspension which raised eye-brows from a lot of people since Josh Gordon of the Cleveland Browns got a year long suspension for failing multiple drug test from smoking marijuana. The idea of which matters more came into question: A woman being physically assaulted or smoking marijuana. What makes this situation worse was Roger Goddell lying about when they saw the video of Rice beating on his then fiancee inside of the elevator. A mess all around. This situation has sparked up very heated debates across Twitter, Facebook and wherever else. I personally don’t think domestic violence is something to be taken lightly and hopefully the Rice’s gets the help they need.
That’s it for this weeks TGIF. What were some of the most memorable moments for you guys this week? Let us know in the comments!
Enjoy your weekend and be safe!
