Chris Brown Shares New Photos With Baby Royalty Chris Brown has two special babies named Royalty — his precious baby girl, and his seventh studio album, released just in time for the holidays. Though the project originally had a Black Friday release date, #TeamBreezy will have to wait a few weeks to hear Chris’ new sound. Chris stopped by HOT97 earlier today and explained the switch on his sound and discussed singing about smashing on an album named after his baby girl. Via BillBoard : Chris Brown’s Royalty album won’t make your Black Friday shopping bag as expected. The singer revealed in an interview with Hot 97 on Monday (Nov. 23) that he will be pushing out the LP named after his 1-year-old daughter to next month. “Well Black Friday, the pre-orders will be there, but the real date is gonna be Dec. 18,” he said. Brown also assures that being a father won’t make him switch up his act. “For me, with my daughter and most of the records that I make are more sexual — that’s how my daughter was made,” he explains. “I wouldn’t change my whole regimen of how I move and how I act music-wise. I do music that can appeal to all different ages and all different races.” Speaking of Royalty, the singer did a little cross promo while showing off his precious daughter on Instagram today, encouraging fans to #BringRoyaltyHomeForTheHolidays in the next few weeks… These two are too cute together!

You know we like breaking talent first… Tell the world your name and where your from? My name is LettaJ. I’m originally from Dallas, Texas but currently live in New York City. How long you been doing music?.. I’ve been singing my entire life, like literally since I was 4 years old. My parents are both pastors so I started singing in church really young and I started writing songs when I was 8. Thirst Trappin is genius how did you decide to do a song with a concept like that? I was editing video with a friend and he was off task looking at my instagram.(lol) He came across a pic that he thought was sexy and said, “you stay thirst trappin.” I thought it was so hilarious, I couldn’t get it out of my head. So, I posted a pic and hash-tagged it #thirsttrappin. It got mad likes and the next thing I knew, I had written a song about it. And the rest is history! ha How does social media effect the work today in your eyes ?… It’s a huge part of the connection to my fans. I think social media makes people feel like they get to know you without actually knowing you and as an artist you want that. You want their thoughts and for them to come out to a show and give you a hug because that’s what its about. So, I create music that is relatable and real enough to constantly connect with the people who follow my musical journey. I include social media in my daily routine because there are people who want to be a part of my daily routine, so why not let them? 🙂 What is your 5 year plan with music? It starts with creating a powerful movement with relevant and well written records. Within a 5 year period, I expect significant success as an award winning recording artist with a discography as a songwriter for films, television shows and great artists. I am a natural entrepreneur, always have been, so I will definitely have businesses that add to my success. But within 5 years I expect to be in a place where I am helping aspiring artists and songwriters achieve their goals and dreams by offering opportunities that help them navigate their way into the industry.I expect to have started a book if not finished one to include in my arsenal of motivational tactics. What are some of the downs in this business as a woman? Well, you deal with a lot of bs but that’s certainly not gender specific. The biggest difficulty is having to be discerning enough to know who is serious and who is trying to sleep with you lol. I’m laughing but I’m dead serious. People will say damn near anything to get laid so being smart but still able to listen is a lot more difficult than it sounds. So, the biggest challenge is learning to balance being a business woman and an artist at the same time. How did you feel about the beef between Drake and Meek Mills? Honestly, I was just disappointed that the world focused more on beef between two wealthy and successful rappers more than black lives mattering. I felt it showed how easily distracted we can be. Who is your favorite female artist? That’s really tough because there are older artist that have influence me so much but if I had to pick an artist now, I would say Jazmine Sullivan because I could listen to her endlessly. If you could assemble a dream team group who would the members be? Wow. Hmmm…well I wish I could bring Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye back because they would definitely be in my group but I suppose I would want to create a group kind of like the Fugees. So I would want LettaJ (me haha), Chris Brown, Tink and maybe Lacrae in a group. We’re all different and talented in our own ways but so creative…and we’re all songwriters! So I know we would create some of the most amazing music ever. And the execution would be insane!!! What producers would you like to work with?.. I’m a fan of Rock City and I love the originally Pharrell embodies. So, those guys 🙂 What kind of advice can you give some young artist in the come up like yourself? The advise I would give anyone, regardless of their industry (especially young artist) is “What God has for you, is for you!” There will always be people who think they can make or break your career but they can’t. Although the industry is relationship driven, I think it’s important to understand that what is destined for your life, is intended for you. You have to just work hard and be smart enough to go after it and grab it. But understanding who you are, realizing your worth and knowing what you want are among the most important things you can give yourself. Knowing those things will help you stay focused and they will will help you make wise decisions even when it’s tough. Stay faithful, set the bar ridiculously high and work so hard you impress yourself. @lettajmusic
Ahmed Mohamed Demands $15 Million From Texas School District An attorney for the family of Muslim teen clockmaker Ahmed Mohamed is demanding $15 million from Texas school district, along with an apology for how Mohamed was treated when he brought his homemade clock to school according to TIME reports… Mohamed is the 14-year-old Texas ninth-grader-turned-celebrity who was arrested at school after a homemade clock he brought in was mistaken for a bomb. He has since been honored everywhere from Google to the White House. Mohamed’s attorney sent letters to the City of Irving and the Irving Independent School District adding new details and accusations to the story, with the family alleging that authorities “sought to cover its mistakes with a media campaign that further alienated the child at the center of this maelstrom,” the Dallas Morning News reports. The Mohamed’s are asking for $15 million in damages, as well as apologies from key players—the school district, MayorVan Duyne and Police Chief Larry Boyd, alleging “They stoked the flames. They tried to push responsibility off on the victim—Ahmed.” Lesley Weaver, spokeswoman for the Irving school district, said in a statement Monday that the school district’s attorneys “will review the information and respond as appropriate, as with any legal matter,” reports the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram. Attorneys for the family said they would give the school district and the city 60 days to comply before filing a civil lawsuit. Do you think Ahmed should get millions for his homemade clock??

Adele Says She Wants To Remix Hotline Bling With Drake Drake and Adele could possibly tear up for the saddest song on the planet according to a recent interview with ETalks reports… Adele may have her hands full being a mom and releasing “25,” one of the most highly-anticipated albums of the year, but that hasn’t kept her from channeling her inner Drake and practicing her “Hotline Bling” dance moves. “I had a drink like three weeks ago [with] my best friends, in fact it was to celebrate ‘Hello’,” she tells etalk’s Danielle Graham in a North American exclusive interview. “And I was off my face because I don’t really drink anymore, and they’ve got video of me dancing to it on a coffee table as well.” That’s right, while it seems the whole world is enamoured with Adele and her new album, the 27-year-old British singer says she’s been pretty preoccupied herself with the well-known rapper from the 6. “I really want us to do an official remix. I love Drake. I love Drake so much,” she says, when asked about the abundance of memes about her hit “Hello” and his “Hotline Bling.” “I even got the coat that’s in the video, I got it delivered the other day, I ordered it. The red one.” The appetite for an Adele-Drake remix may be second only to her latest collection of songs. The release of first single “Hello” last month quickly broke Billboard records, and overtook Taylor Swift for most Vevo streams in a single day. So no duet with Beyonce but one with Drake? We see you Adele! Hit the flip to peep a response from Drake next…
