Teen Rapper Chief Keef Arrested Again This Time For Trespassing As Murder Investigation Lingers

17-year-old Chicago rapper, Chief Keef, has been arrested again. Police in Chicago, Illinois have him under tight surveillance and have arrested him for everything from gun possession to heroin distribution to speeding. Keef even repeatedly pointed a gun at police while running from them on one occasion.


Chief Keef became a millionaire signing a record deal at age 16

Therefore, police in Illinois have him off for said illegal conduct, which resulted in house arrest, as he is a minor. His latest arrest came hours after he pled guilty to speeding. Keef, real name, Keith Mozart, was detained again by police for trespassing...four blocks from the courthouse his speeding hearing was held in.

The most serious allegations looming over Keef is murder. The mother of slain local rapper, Joseph 'Lil JoJo' Coleman, states Keef paid to have him murdered in an act of gang violence. Keef mocked Coleman's death on Twitter but deleted the tweet shortly after.

Chris Brown Probation Violation Hearing Adjourned For A Month While Prosecutors Debate His Fate (Video)

A probation hearing was held today in Los Angeles, California, for R&B singer, Chris Brown, stemming from the domestic violence assault case, where he got into a fist fight with and and off again girlfriend, singer, Rihanna. Since the time of his arrest, the prosecution has alleged Brown has violated his probation.


Chris Brown and lawyer Mark Geragos

Prosecutors state Brown broke the law in faking community service in connection with his probation, left the country under improper circumstances and engaged in acts of violence, via a fight against gay singer, Frank Ocean. Brown denies all of the claims, but the district attorney wants Brown to do his community service hours over and in Los Angeles under their watchful eye.

Could Chris Brown Be Going To Jail For A Probation Violation

Last week singer Chris Brown met in a car incident, rear ending a Mercedes Benz, whilst driving his Range Rover. Brown exchanged information with the other driver, while his girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, took photos of the vehicle. However, it is now being claimed Brown provided incorrect insurance information to the other motorist, which according to website TMZ, is a violation of his probation that could send him to jail.

Brown denies the allegation. He also contends, there was no damage to the Mercedes, as photos Tran took reveal. Therefore, under the circumstances, an insurance claim would not be necessary. One thing's for sure, hitting a Mercedes will drive up one's insurance premium. In closing, if the Frank Ocean fight didn't revoke Brown's probation, it would be odd for a minor incident such as this to do so. They would have to definitively prove Brown deliberately provided inaccurate insurance information.

Chris Brown Probation Violation Hearing Postponed Until June 2013


Chris Brown

The probation violation hearing of singer Chris Brown has been postponed until June 2013. This will give Brown time to promote his current CD "X" and single "Fine China." Brown was called back to court over reports he faked his community service, apart of his probation in the Rihanna domestic violence case.

A California judge will decide whether to void Brown’s community service, forcing him to start all over again or detain him in jail on the alleged violations. His lawyer Mark Geragos is denying the claims. However, authorities are insisting Brown violated his probation.

Chris Brown Threatens Violence At A Valet Parking Station In California...Over $10 (Video)

$10 Chris?

 
R&B singer and drug user Chris Brown got himself into more trouble again this week, even as a California judge is reviewing a list of probation violations and allegations he faked his community service, in connection with the Rihanna domestic violence case.

In a video secretly shot last night by a member of the public, a lanky, strung out looking Brown was seen spewing violent threats and profanity directly into a valet's face, for asking the singer to pay the $10 fee (el cheapo Chris). Brown, a multi-millionaire, balked at the fee and threatened to rain down violence on the parking valets, with the assistance of his entourage - a violation of his probation. The valets didn't deserve that. 

Brown's outburst betrays a significant level of seething rage, anger and bitterness, which has repeatedly gotten him into trouble. If he does not get his anger in check, he is going to end up in jail. The court has given Brown many chances to get back on his feet whilst on probation, but he is repeatedly blowing it, by losing his cool on a regular basis and engaging in mischief, against his lawyer's advice.

Even some of Brown's fans have written of their disappointment at this latest incident. This comes on the heels of Brown getting into an "altercation" with his bodyguard Big Pat. Prior to that it was fighting singer Frank Ocean and getting into a confrontation with rapper Drake.

Chris Brown Says Rihanna Has Forgiven Him For Beating Her But The Public Has Not


Rihanna and Chris Brown

R&B singer and felon, Chris Brown, did an interview with the Mirror newspaper in the UK, where he spoke of the 2009 domestic violence incident between himself and girlfriend, music model, Rihanna. Brown is still on probation over the case and faces a violation hearing regarding it.

This week, Brown stated of the fight, "It was the deepest regret of my life, the biggest mistake...Sometimes you row, you fight, with the one you love and things get said, stuff spirals. But she loves me -- what can I say? I’m forgiven ... but, yes, I worked hard for it...People attack me and criticise me, it happens all the time ... But they don’t know me, and they don’t know us. It doesn’t bother me any more ... Other people can judge us but they don’t know anything."

Lindsay Lohan's New Lawyer Is A Comedian Says She Can Serve As Role Model

Hahaha!


Failed stage mom Dina Lohan and her train wreck daughter Lindsay Lohan

he new lawyer of actress Lindsay Lohan continues to make missteps in court, in defending her lawbreaking actions on two coasts. Mark Heller has challenged Lohan's latest arrest, stating she was not read her Miranda Rights. Heller has implied prosecutors are out to get poor  defenseless drunk driving, cocaine snorting, punch throwing bar brawling Lindsay.

Heller's latest faux pas is stating Lohan is some type of role model, who can serve as a "motivational speaker" in lieu of jail time for violating her probation for the umpteenth time. Dude you are a comedian. Lindsay? A motivational speaker? On what? How to mess up. He recommends she be engaged as a motivational speaker and sent to places like hospitals (why, so she can steal all the patients drugs to get high).

Bobby Brown Sentenced To 55 Days In Jail On His Latest DUI


Bobby Brown

Bobby Brown, the ex-husband of the late singer, Whitney Houston, has been sentenced to 55 days in jail and 4-years probation on his latest DUI arrest. Brown was arrested in October 2012 on his third DUI violation (one of two that year).

In 1996 he crashed Houston's car in Florida, driving while drunk, breaking his leg. News cameras filmed the totaled car and Brown sitting on the side walk injured. Brown must report to jail by March 20, 2013 to serve his time. Due to overcrowding in California jails, Brown's actual time served will be a mere fraction of the sentence handed down by the judge.

Police Chief Resigning In The Chris Brown Probation Violation Case Gives A Certain Impression



Chris Brown and Rihanna (Photo Credit: Wire Image)

Richmond, Virginia Police Chief, Bryan Norwood, has resigned from his post, due to the Chris Brown probation violation case. Los Angeles prosecutors accuse Norwood and Brown's mother, Joyce, of conspiring to falsify probation records, to allow the singer to leave the country in violation of court rules, while claiming to perform community service in Virginia. 

 

This month, prosecutors filed a motion to revoke Brown's probation on the grounds his 180 hours of community service have been falsified and the singer also stands accused of engaging in violent behavior against singer Frank Ocean and other members of the public, as well as property damage and vandalism. Brown, via his lawyer, Mark Geragos, has denied all the allegations and even brought Rihanna, the woman at the center of his felony domestic violence case, to court in an effort to show the judge solidarity.



Bryan Norwood

However, Brown's behavior continues to work against him, as he has been getting into confrontations all over America and it is only a matter of time before another one occurs. If Brown fails to tame his temper and restlessness, trouble will be brewing again and someone could get seriously hurt.

Rihanna And Karrueche Tran Fighting Over Who Will Accompany Chris Brown To The Grammys

 
Chris Brown and Rihanna

Cocaine and weed addicted singer, Rihanna is fighting model Karrueche Tran over who will accompany their mutual boyfriend, Chris Brown to the Grammys this month. Tran already announced online via her hair stylist that she is going to the Grammys. Rihanna and her Star Trek forehead is also going and has been on Chris Brown this week like white on rice, as the phrase goes, like green on grass, pardon the weed pun.

So, who will win. Tran already allegedly dissed Rihanna this week on Twitter for going to court with Chris Brown, regarding a probation violation hearing regarding the 2009 incident, where she started hitting him and he flip his lid and beat her for it. Tran stated on Twitter right after the hearing, "When you ain't s**t it shows."

Frank Ocean Leaving America But Is It Due To The Chris Brown Fight


Chris Brown: don't run into my fist no more!

Gay singer, Frank Ocean, who was in a fight with R&B star Chris Brown, over a parking spot at Westlake Recording studio in Los Angeles, is reportedly leaving America. The singer stated he is leaving after the Grammys this month. However, is he leaving due to the fight with Brown. Ocean told police that during the fight, where he sustained a cut to his finger, Brown threatened to shoot him. Ocean says Brown started the fight. While Brown stated Ocean started the fight.


Frank Ocean: yea, I'm gonna go now...

Neither man is pressing charges, but the incident has been brought up by prosecutors in Brown's probation violation case. The judge is deliberating and will render a decision shortly, whether to revoke Brown's probation and order him to redo his 180 hours of community service or worse, send him to jail.

Chris Brown Has Been Crying This Month (Photos)


Chris Brown with tears in his eyes after seeing Karrueche Tran with another man

Chris Brown’s legal woes have taken a toll on him, as this month he was pictured crying on two separate occasions. The first time was outside Greystone Manor night club in Los Angeles, after his girlfriend, Karrueche Tran was there with another guy, while he was there with his side chick Rihanna, who stormed out witnessing the display.

The second time was this week in court during a probation violation hearing, with Brown clearly fearing jail. If his 5-year probation is revoked, Brown will have to redo his entire community service order of 180 hours and potentially face jail. It is at the court’s discretion. You know what would really make him cry - going to jail with a cell mate that looks like Jay-Z and if said inmate had a crush on him.

Rihanna And Not Karrueche Tran Appears In Court With Chris Brown Trying To Keep Him Out Of Jail

Tran Couldn't Help Him In His Criminal Case So He Is Using Rihanna


Chris Brown and Rihanna in court today

Chris Brown went to court today in Los Angeles, California on a series of probation violations. Much to the offense of many women's groups, Brown brought singer Rihanna with him for sympathy and support. Brown's probation stems from the 2009 domestic violence case, regarding Rihanna, who initiated a fight with him that he unwisely finished. Many have stated she feels guilty about him being arrested and placed on 5-years probation, as she started the fighting by repeatedly hitting him. While others state he should not have hit her back.

Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, was very angry outside the courthouse today, claiming Brown is being "tortured." No, torture is getting beaten up. However, Geragos insists the prosecutor is picking on Brown in seeking to violate his probation for falsifying community service hours. One of the main points of contention is the claim Brown was on a private jet to Cancun, when probation reports claimed he was performing community service in Tappahannock, Virginia.

Geragos is seeking sanctions against the prosecutor’s office over the claims, but Brown has repeatedly gotten himself into trouble against the advice of his attorney. There exists grounds to revoke his probation, such as phone theft, fighting and stalking. If the prosecutor can successfully present evidence Brown was in Cancun when he claimed he was doing community service in Virginia, it would constitute a clear probation violation. The fight with gay entertainer Frank Ocean was the last straw for some and has angered homosexuals in Hollywood, who are pushing for Brown to be locked up.

The fact of the matter is the court has given Brown many chances and he has repeatedly played with fire, acting like he can get into confrontations with anyone, snatch phones and throw chairs through windows and nothing will come of it.

Prosecutors Move To Revoke Chris Brown's Probation For Lying, Fraud And Several Violent Violations

Will Chris Tell The Judge "Don't Judge Me" (LOL)


Chris Brown

Prosecutors in Los Angeles, California have filed paperwork to have the 5-year probation of felonious singer Chris Brown revoked. Brown has been on probation for a couple years, in connection with the Rihanna domestic violence case, where the singer's girlfriend began hitting him and he did his best MMA moves on her.

The main contention is  Brown and his mother Joyce, in conjunction with the sheriff in his home town of Tappahannock, Virginia, have been falsifying probation reports, giving the singer credit for community service hours he has not served. Investigations were done by the district attorney's office and it was discovered others did the work and in certain instances, Brown had left the country for concerts when he was allegedly performing community service.  Leaving the country without permission from the court whilst on probation is another probation violation.

While on probation, Brown has been getting into one confrontation after another, formally acknowledged in the prosecutor's motion for revocation. To recap (*takes deep breath before listing them all*) Brown threw a chair threw a window at the Good Morning America studios in New York, snatched a $500 iPhone from a fan in Miami, got into a bottle and glass club fight with rapper Drake at W.i.P. in Manhattan leaving several people with life changing injuries, beat up gay rapper Frank Ocean at Westlake Recording studios in Los Angeles over a parking spot and because he wouldn't shake his hand.

There's a new twist in the Frank Ocean case. On January 29, 2013, in the article "Chris Brown Is In Trouble And Facing Jail On Probation Violation As Frank Ocean Changes His Mind Demanding He Be Prosecuted For Punching Him" the Judiciary Report stated of Brown's fight with Ocean, "It would also be a hate crime, due to the fact Ocean is gay and Brown has a history of using phrases such as "f****t" online and to members of the public, who went to the press with their complaints." Sure enough, the police report released today reveals that during the fight with Chris Brown, gay Ocean was called a "f****t." This makes the assault a hate crime, carrying steeper legal penalties. 

Jail will not be easy for Brown, who is considered a heartthrob. If they revoke your probation and put you in jail, for the first time in your life you will wish you looked like Jay-Z. The rapper resents Brown's looks and his hold over Rihanna.

Frank Ocean Threatened With Lawsuit Over Groping Male Engineer's Butt During Chris Brown Fight


Frank Ocean (yes, I picked this picture deliberately)

HipHop365.com published a post containing claims from a sound recording engineer at Westlake Recording studios, that gay singer Frank Ocean, groped his bottom, during his fight with badboy crooner Chris Brown. The site states the engineer is considering legal action against Ocean for the alleged sexual assault.

A few weeks ago, Ocean was arrested by police for engaging in inappropriate activity in his vehicle with a male. The hypersexual singer, has demanded charges be pressed against Brown for hitting him during the studio fight. However, Brown is stating Ocean started the fight.

Man Claims Frank Ocean Grabbed His Butt During Brawl

Posted on Jan 29, 2013 at 12:52 am EST - (Los Angeles) – As if this long running saga between Chris Brown and Frank Ocean couldn’t get any more bizarre, a 32 year old man who was present during the much publicized brawl is now accusing Frank Ocean of grabbing a feel during the raucous.

According to reports, Alex Perez, who’s described as a sound engineer at the studio claims he was in the middle of the fight between both camps when someone believed to be singer Frank Ocean grabbed his butt, intentionally or not, the man was adamant about his claims.

Frank Ocean who’s had some musical success is best known for announcing that he was a bisexual last year. No word if the man will file a sexual harassment suit, although that would be tremendously difficult to prove...

Chris Brown Quits Social Networking Again And This Time It's Instagram


Chris Brown

This week, troubled singer Chris Brown, uploaded artwork he did featuring Jesus on the cross being crucified, with the attached message, "Painting the way I feel today. Focus on what matters!" Instantly many were offended stating he is comparing himself to Jesus. Just to let you know, Chris, Jesus didn't go around beating people down. If you want to be more like Jesus, stop hitting people.

But I digress. Brown closed his Instagram account with the following message, "I would like to thank all my wonderful fans for letting me express my talents/art for you all. But social media takes away the essence of why we are even special or icons. So with that, I’m detaching myself from that world. Elevate yourself above the negative and if it doesn’t work move on! I respect myself enough as well as my fans to wanna be great."


Maybe Brown wasn't stating he is like Jesus. The message I took from Brown's ongoing self-inflicted chaos is he felt he was being crucified over the Frank Ocean fight, which occurred at Westlake Recording studio, allegedly over a parking spot (really people, only disabled people have the right to be complaining about parking spots - the rest of you can handle the extra walking without pain).

Chris, if you did throw the first punch, that was wrong. If the man didn't want to shake your hand, as was reported, he had a right to refuse and you should have walked away. Respect is not forced, it is earned. And I know you read the site. It's the same message I have been reiterating regarding you since 2009 - learn to walk away from confrontation. Just as I stated years ago on the Judiciary Report regarding your fight with Rihanna, you should have walked away when she started hitting you, not beaten her to a pulp in response, as she is the weaker sex (apparently so is Frank). Again, you are in trouble because you chose to fight instead of walking away.


Chris Brown's artwork

I also know you are confrontational, as you tried to confront me twice. At the end of the day, you should not have gone up to Ocean - a man you've had conflicts with in the past. You put people on edge, due to the Rihanna fight and that's something you are not understanding. Let other people make the first move, especially those you have conflicts with, lest you get yourself into trouble your lawyer can't fix.

To be frank, pardon the pun, if this goes to court, a jury will not be inclined to believe you due to your legal history and press clippings for getting into fights with people. If they see no solid evidence Ocean is the aggressor, they will blame you for the fight and snatch your freedom.

Chris Brown's New Cast On His Hand After Frank Ocean Fight Being Spun Two Ways By Those For And Against Him

 

Chris Brown

Singer Chris Brown left his Hollywood mansion today sporting a cast, after getting into a fight with entertainer, Frank Ocean. Brown contends Ocean, who is gay, started the fight first. While Ocean stated Brown started the melee via punching him. Prior to Brown wearing the cast, Ocean complained his hand was "cut" during the fight.


Those for Chris Brown are interpreting the cast as the singer being a victim who was injured in a fight. Those against him are stating the injury to his arm and subsequent cast, is due to Brown beating Ocean with his right fist. As for witnesses in the case, each is sticking up for their own entourage. It's a matter of hearsay at this point and whether police will be able to sift through the statements for inconsistencies to determine who is telling the truth. That remains to be seen.


Late last night, I asked on Twitter about surveillance cameras, as they are standard at recording studios, especially the mainstream ones used by major label artists. TMZ stated shortly after, the surveillance cameras at the studio picked up the tail end of the fight inside reception and not what transpired in the parking lot. That's a security risk, but I digress, it does not help the case.


Frank Ocean  
 
It remains to be seen if the judge will violate Brown's probation on what is hearsay. Then again, the 2009 domestic violence case regarding Brown fighting girlfriend Rihanna after she began beating him, was based on hearsay as well and he ended up a felon from it.

Chris Brown Shows Off Cast on His Hand

By Zach Frydenlund | Jan 29, 2013 | 4:59 pm | - Brown was posting photos of himself in the studio yesterday and was clearly painting last night—so, is this cast new? It must be. It's missing artistic flair.

Chris Brown Is In Trouble And Facing Jail On Probation Violation As Frank Ocean Changes His Mind Demanding He Be Prosecuted For Punching Him

 

Chris Brown

Yesterday TMZ reported that R&B singer Chris Brown and gay rapper Frank Ocean got into a confrontation, which escalated into a fist fight in the parking lot of the Westlake Recording studio in Los Angeles, California. Initially, based on what TMZ was told and relayed to the public, no one wanted to press charges. However, several hours later, Frank Ocean changed his mind and is after Brown. 

Ocean now wants Brown, who has made homophobic statements in the past, prosecuted for punching him - despite the fact the singer states the rapper and his entourage attacked him. If successfully prosecuted, this incident would constitute a probation violation against Brown, stemming from a 2009 incident with girlfriend Rihanna. It would also be a hate crime, due to the fact Ocean is gay and Brown has a history of using phrases such as "f****t" online and to members of the public, who went to the press with their complaints.


Frank Ocean: this is what I look like when he hit me y'all! (hmm, I thought gay dudes didn't wear earrings in their left ear. Is this a new thing in gaydom).

As with the 2009 Rihanna domestic violence case, Brown was not immediately arrested when the incident transpired, as he fled the scene, but police could detain him after an interview if they feel they have sufficient evidence to charge him and they are requesting to speak to him.

Brown has a problem on his hands and so does Ocean, as the singer's people are known to retaliate. Not to mention, this could really put a wrench in the off the wall Rihanna-Karrueche-Tran-Chris-Brown love triangle dominating the blogs. Yep, they're going to be fighting over conjugal visits in no time if he goes to jail.

Chris Brown's Violent Fight With Frank Ocean Has Both Artists Telling Two Different Stories But Who Is Telling The Truth

 

 Chris Brown - victim of crime or another violent incident
 
Troubled singer, Chris Brown is in more doo-doo again again. Yesterday, the felon got into a fist fight with gay rapper, Frank Ocean (you know, Kanye's boo - LOL). Several months ago, Brown and Ocean had a disagreement on Twitter. Last night the two ran into each other at the Westlake Recording studio in Los Angeles, California and things went downhill from there, as a fight erupted.

Brown was first to give his side of the story to website TMZ, claiming as he was leaving the recording studio, when Ocean and his entourage tried to detain him, blocking the exit. Next he stated Ocean and his guys confronted him in the parking lot and an argument began over a parking spot. Brown states he reached out to shake Ocean's hand and a member of the singer's entourage punched him, leading to a fight. That's Brown's side of the story.


Frank Ocean - gay thugging or the victim of crime?

However, Ocean is stating Brown, backed up by his own entourage, punched him and a fight broke out with all the men. Ocean stated on Twitter he was "jumped" by Brown and co. and his hand is now injured, which poses a problem regarding his Grammy performance next month. Ocean stated online, "Got jumped by chris and a couple guys. lol. i only wish everest [his dog] was there. cut my finger now I can't play w two hands at the grammys." In response to the incident, Chris Brown stated online, "Working on my album. Not working on negativity. Focus on feeding ya family. Bull***t will forever be in the shadows."

The Judiciary Report is trying to be objective, but it is obvious pieces of this story are missing from both sides. Neither man filed a police complaint when officers arrived on the scene, because Brown had fled and Ocean refused to press charges.

As I pointed out on Twitter this morning, this incident is a probation violation for Brown, who is half way through the 5-year probationary period the judge assessed and levied against him for getting into a fight with girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. Brown also got into a fight with rival rapper Drake at a night club several months ago. He's also engaged in other probation violations such as stalking and doing so across state lines. Then there’s that incident regarding his entourage harassing staff at a Subway restaurant and in the parking lot.

Brown needs to stop getting into these situations. He is becoming the female Lindsay Lohan. The judge has given him a pass on many issues and incidents. However, if his case is reassigned to a judge who scrutinizes parolees more than the current jurist, he could land in jail, which is a rough place for a pretty boy who can dance ("pop and lock" would take on a whole new meaning in jail).


If Ocean changes his mind and presses charges, with Brown’s history of fighting, he'd have a legal problem on his hands regarding his probation. Brown needs to learn to stay at home for a change with some DVDs, video games and some food. If he gets into anymore serious trouble, he’s going to jail. Because Brown can get into trouble even in the parking lot of a Subway restaurant (maybe you should stay out of parking lots). Dude, how do you get into trouble at Subway. Eat your sub and your cookie and calm down.
