Starring along with Andre Benjamin are Imogen Poots, Ruth Negga, and Hayley Atwell. The story follows the musician’s transition from Jimmy James, an unknown, to Jimi Hendrix, an icon. The film will debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. No date has been set for wide release.
Damn, Chris this probation violation is already phucking your bread up. Sponsor Drops Out Of Festival Over Chris Brown Sponsors start pulling out, next he’ll be losing that endorsement scrilla. Iyanla needs to book him a spot on her show ASAP cause at the rate Chris is going, we will have to change his name from Chris to Bobby. That’s not a good look. According to Rhymes With Snitch Earlier this week a Canadian telecommunications company pulled their sponsorship from the Energy Rush music festival in Nova Scotia after learning that singer Chris Brown had been added to the line up. Another sponsor has followed suit… The Center for Arts and Technology-Halifax released a statement on their Facebook page on their decision to cut ties with the event. CATH writes, “Due to the recent announcement of Chris Brown as Energy Rush’s featured artist, we have officially withdrawn our sponsorship from this event. When we became a sponsor of Energy Rush, we were not aware of who the featured artist was going to be at that time… We feel that pulling our sponsorship is the best option given the feature artist’s reputation. As an educational institution, we can’t ignore the sentiments expressed on campus that participating in this year’s event goes against our collective values.” Get it together Chris.

Hope she’s not two seconds away from slitting her wrists and drinking her own blood. At least Ri Ri didn’t ether her like that fan who attacked her family….that was some ugly ish. Instagram
