LisaRaye Said Skin Bleaching Products Cause Cancer An African pop singer turned skin lightening product peddler says she plans to sue actress LisaRaye for defamation after the actress claimed her brand causes cancer. “Whitenicious” creator Dencia Sonkey said LisaRaye’s comments about the line of pricey skin whitening creams and lotions caused major damage to the brand, and there is no proof that it harms users. “LisaRaye has caused Dencia financial loss, pain and suffering,” her rep Rebecca Matamba told BOSSIP. “Dencia has been attacked and harassed on the internet because of these fake allegations. This wasn’t just an attack on the brand, (it was) also an attack on Dencia as a person so she has said she doesn’t want a retraction anymore.”

Reality Starlet Left Fuming After Axe From Love & Hip Hop Hollywood Love & Hip Hop Hollywood’s Amberr Laura said she was blindsided by producers who cut her from the show just as she was planning to introduce the world to her new boyfriend, Petey Pablo. Amberr told BOSSIP she’s been loved up with the “North Carolina” rapper for the last seven months, and couldn’t wait to share her new relationship with viewers. “I was kind of holding it for the show,” Amberr said . “He’s a great support system for me. He’s a great match. He’s there for me, and he understands how the entertainment business works. He keeps me grounded.” That was until she found out that she’d been cut from Love & Hip Hop . Amberr told BOSSIP that no one from the show actually contacted her to tell her she was let go, but instead beat around the bush while other cast members prepped to begin filming later this month. And the mom of one laid the blame on former cast mate Milan Christopher , who she said trash talked her to producers and the press. “This man, he knew me from being with my ex,” she said. “He ended up with him, it didn’t work out, and then he decides to slander my name. It disgusted me how far he went to slander a woman that did nothing to him.”
Amira Ayeb Facing Felonies After Allegedly Breaking Into Chris Brown’s House Last Spring The woman accused of breaking into Chris Brown’s home and living there for several days is now out on bail and has been deemed fit to stand trial. Amira Kodcia Ayeb is facing felony charges of burglary, malicious mischief and stalking after investigators said last May she hopped the bus from Texas to Brown’s Southern California home, broke in, trashed the place and then shacked up while he was away. The singer later wrote on Instagram that he found Ayeb naked in his bed. Ayeb – who’d uploaded several videos on YouTube singing incoherently – pled not guilty, and a judge ordered her to have a mental health eval after she spent part of the summer refusing to leave her jail cell. But BOSSIP can reveal that mental health experts found Ayeb competent to stand trial, and her new defense lawyer Zulu Ali successfully argued to lower her bail from $220,000 to just $10,000. Ayeb posted bail just two days later, court records show. The judge also ordered that the woman get treatment for her mental health issues while on the outside. “Defendant is ordered to attend psychological counseling and show proof of enrollment by fax,” Ayeb’s court docs state. She must appear for another hearing next month. We’ve reached out to Ali, Ayeb’s lawyer, for comment.

Judge Calls Out Beyonce’s Dad For Being A Deadbeat To Daughter Koi, 5 Deadbeat dad Mathew Knowles tried to buy his baby mama’s silence with $225,000 after she told him she was pregnant with their now five-year-old daughter. That’s according to a Houston family court judge, who ripped Knowles for giving baby mama Taqoya Branscomb the $225,000 “hush money” payment to persuade her from hauling him into court for child support. “ Mr. Knowles knew of his paternity in September 2009 and clearly sought to avoid the establishment of a support obligation based primarily on the tolling agreement and the payment of monies pursuant to said agreement, which the court can only reasonably conclude was hush money,” Judge David D. Farr wrote as part of his ruling in Harris County District Court. Koi was born in 2010, while Knowles was still married to Beyonce’s mother, Tina. Branscomb sued Knowles in 2014 over the paternity of the little girl, and the pair had been duking it out in court ever since. In a ruling last month, the judge sided with Branscomb, ordering Knowles’ wages garnished to pay her $70,822 in back child support plus interest, along with $1,496 a month in regular child support. Knowles is also now responsible for the child’s health insurance as well as $50,000 in Branscomb’s attorney fees.
Rapper Says Performance Ditch Was A Misunderstanding – Not Fraud 2 Chainz said a lawsuit accusing him of fraud for not turning up to perform at a Midwest music festival on his birthday was simply a misunderstanding – and wants the case thrown out. Concert promoter Levelland Productions sued 2Chainz and his manager in Oklahoma Federal Court last month for his no show at the Rawhide Music Festival in Stillwater, OK back in September. The promoter said he and 2Chainz agreed he’d perform at the show on Sept. 12 – his birthday. Instead, 2 Chainz showed up a day earlier and demanded to go on stage. The promoter said other acts were booked that night and he couldn’t reshuffle the lineup. 2 Chainz left, and the promoter saw on social media that the rapper performed a birthday concert in Atlanta. Levelland Productions’ lawsuit said 2 Chainz and his people knew he wouldn’t be available on his birthday, and tried to strong-arm the promoter into letting him perform a day earlier. Levelland Productions said it had to scramble to find a replacement act, and lost money in ticket sales. But the “I’m Different” rapper fired back in court docs Dec. 21, claiming that 2 Chainz’s no show amounted to a broken promise at worst, not fraud, and asked the suit to be dismissed. 2 Chainz said he genuinely believed he agreed to perform Sept. 11, not on his birthday Sept. 12, and was ready to do the show a day earlier. “This lawsuit arises out of a simple misunderstanding – a misunderstanding that the plaintiff now seeks to characterize as a ‘fraud,’” 2 Chainz’s court docs said. “After refusing to allow 2 Chainz to perform on the night he was available, plaintiff now seeks to turn the parties’ misunderstanding into a claim for fraud.” 2 Chainz’s answer also said the promoter’s lawsuit is flimsy because it isn’t specific enough on which member of 2 Chainz’s camp promised that he’d be there. It said the suit should’ve been filed in Atlanta, where all of the defendants live, instead of in Oklahoma. This isn’t the rapper’s first foray into a courtroom. Last month, he beat a defamation case from a North Carolina woman who claimed he ruined her life when he posted an unauthorized video of her with the hashtag #IsThatYoThot.
