Sade Is A ‘Soldier Of Love’
Everyone waits year after year for Sade to drop some of her musical crack on us. By the time she decides to drop a new title we are scratchin’ our arms, pacing the streets, rubbin our iPods and mp3’s. And this time is no different than any other. Her song “Soldier of Love” was in heavy rotation yesterday.

Al Sharpton Blasts Tiger Woods for Lack of Mistress Diversity?!
OK, now that we have your attention, this would be a good time to let you in on a little internet viral thingy going around. You see, the story below was written as satire but of course some folks just don’t get it and believe it’s real. Duh.
So in the interest of humor, er, satire, here’s the news item that says what Al Sharpton didn’t say. But it’s funny, though.
The Rev. Al Sharpton held a press conference today to blast Tiger Woods for the lack of diversity among his mistresses. Sharpton claims that the lack of African-American women among Woods’ harem will have a negative affect on the black community, specifically young black girls.
“Why is it that a man who calls himself black can’t bring himself to cheat on his wife with a black woman?” said Sharpton, speaking to a group of supporters in Harlem. “What does it say to young black girls everywhere when you pass them over? Shame on you, Tiger Woods. What would your daddy say?”
Sharpton, who has long championed taking black women as mistresses, said that today’s black athletes need to stop neglecting black women when it comes to extramarital affairs, and should follow the examples of positive black role models such as Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King, Jr., both of whom cheated on their wives with black women. Sharpton also stressed that cheating with African-American women would help the black community financially by giving black girls the chance to sell their stories to tabloids and gossip magazines.
Added Sharpton, “I’m not asking you to not cheat on your wives, I’m just asking you to give back to your own community.”
OK, now you know what he DIDN’T say about Tiger. Click HERE and you can find out what he IS saying about Tiger. And it’s quite funny, too.

Lady Gaga & Kanye exploit the gay community!!
Openly gay men born with talent (like Elton John), may like the non-talented Gaga, but I’m thinking that it’s not for her music. Know why? Because homosexual men tend to like chic’s they can emulate. Don’t believe me? Ask Dennis Rodman...

Beyonce’s Tour Manager Goes IN On Cassie & Rihanna!
Damn I love that Twitter Search function. Because even when folks pop off, then get scared and delete the Tweets, we can still see that ish in the Search. Beyonce’s tour manager/cousin Marlon Beyince went in on Cassie and Rihanna today. Apparently he has some opinions about their singing and dancing abilities…or lack thereof. Check out the image above for what he said–one of our loyal YBF readers took a snapshot of it even after Marlon deleted the Tweets. And check here and here to see the original tweets in the search page of Twitter proving he did post them.

Omarion ALREADY Dropped From Young Money?

A couple folks have relayed the message to us via Young Money labelee Mack Maine that O was just dropped after only being signed for a week or so. No credible reasons as to why just yet. Damn homie.

Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz Go Public?!
Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz were partying it up with her brother, Alejandro Sanz, a few weeks ago in Miami. Clearly they didn’t care what cameras caught them relaxing together. We’ve been wondering why Ms. Keys has been hiding out ever since the news broke of her being Swizzy’s mistress and the cause of Swizz and Mashonda’s divorce. And it looks like she was trying to let the drama die down before she took this ish public.

CD Review: Prince’s Lotusflow3r
The good news is that Lotusflow3r is the best Prince album since 2004’s Musicology. It’s his most guitar- and rock-oriented in years — perhaps ever — and includes a few songs that deserve consideration for the upper echelon of the Prince canon.
The not-so-good news is that Lotusflow3r is inconsistent and acts as a general reminder that Prince’s genius appears to be a spasmodic proposition. Lotusflow3er, part of a three-CD set sold at retail through an exclusive agreement with Target, is further proof that we’re not likely to get anything like a masterpiece from the mercurial artist again.

CHRIS BROWN’S OFFICIAL STATEMENT!
Finally, Chris Brown has just issued an official statement through his spokesperson concerning the assault situation with Rihanna . This is indeed a real statement and not a hoax like others have been posting from fraudulent Facebook/Myspace pages. The statement was issued directly to media outlets from his PR reps at Sitrick And Company, Inc. It reads in its entirety:
“Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds.”

Suge Got Knocked The F&*# Out…AGAIN!
Well All-Star weekend isn’t complete without a hood ass fight at an afterparty. Suge Knight–once again–got punched in the head twice at an All-Star afterparty last night at the W hotel in Phoenix. The man arrested for the dirty deed is Robert Carnes, Jr., who claims he’s Akon’s manager! Damn!
Apparently a fight was abrew in the VIP section at the W when some party goers warned security something as about to go down. When security showed up, they sa Suge getting knocked twice in the head. Carnes has been charged with felony aggravated assault. Felony because of the severity of the Suge’s injuries. Damn homie.
Suge got knocked out about 9 months ago outside a club as well. So I have several questions. But right now I can only find the words for two: WTF was SUGE KNIGHT doing in somebody’s VIP section and how in the hell are random people knocking this big ass dude out left and right when everybody used to be too scared to even sneeze in his direction? Whats really hood in ‘09?

Don’t Believe The Hype.
So someone decided to photoshop a picture of Rihanna and pass it off as real. And of course, certain folks decided to post it without researching and overlooking the horrible photoshop job itself. But of course, TheYBF.com has the real ish and the picture on the left is a photoshopped pic of Rihanna from several months ago and her alleged bruises. The picture on the right is in its original form. Matter of fact, take a look at the other two pics in the bunch:

Kanye Says Rihanna Is The Best Thing To Ever Happen To Beyonce
Bring out those perfectly manicured claws. Kanye West talked to media outlets yesterday about his upcoming 808s and Heartbreak album. And when he was asked the motivation behind “Love Lockdown”, he said “This is a wakeup call … people in music get comfortable … Rappers get comfortable.” Then he said that’s exactly what happened to Beyonce. When Rihanna hit the scene B had to step her game up:
Kanye said that B did this with her new video “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” He raved about the vid saying he never would have come up with that concept himself. Now we all know Mr. West rarely means any harm by the things he says–he just likes to speak his mind. But damn if this one isn’t going to cause a catty broken nail or two. I wonder if any of this stems from Ye and Rih Rih’s alleged recent and very public make out session. *pops popcorn and waits on the show*
