HiYelaBoi's Tweef: The Chris Brown/Raz B Twitter Beef

I know many people are still stuck on Facebook and haven't upgraded their social networking experience to include Twitter, so they missed out on the spectacle that went on yesterday between Chris Brown and former B2K member Raz B.


I struggled with whether this was an issue I wanted to address on this blog because I simple can not tolerate and will not instigate buffoonery but since these two decided to take it public, so will I.

I'm not sure what made the "tweef" pop off but I know that started with comments that Raz B made about Rihanna and escalated to the police looking for Raz B's brother in connection with threats made on Chris Brown's life. The Twitter exchange included insults about Chris Brown's domestic violence and woman beating issues, and Raz B's alleged rape/molestation.

Raz B's brother who goes by the name of Rickey Romance, took to video to make threats Chris Brown for the comments he made against  Raz B.



This R&B beef must stop! Can't this all be settled with a dance-off refereed by Steve Harvey like on the movie "You Got Served"?

This Week's HOTNESS: Waka Flocka Flame

I'm almost ashamed to admit it but Waka Flocka Flame is kinda hot (in a thuggish, dirty fingernail, A&E's First 48, "I'mma need you to take the rap for me", "Officer I ain't even do nothin", marijuana, dark liquor, dirty boy kinda way).


I mean if the dreads were a nice faded hair cut, the neck and hand tattoos removed, a good scrubbing, put him in a suit… a lil penicillin, a lil detox, a lil rehab…Waka Flocka might be sexy!


Born Juaquin Malphurs (that even sounds like a "First 48" name), got the nickname from a cousin who would call him "Waka" after the Muppet's Fozzie Bear! The 24 year-old rapper, was born in New York, but calls Georgia home. Atlanta based label mate Gucci Mane added the Flocka Flame to the moniker.


His recent troubles including being shot and having his Atlanta home raided recently, adds to his thuggish reputation, while his life expectancy is probably on the decline.  His Mom, Debbie Antney, who is also his manager, must be so proud!

WTF: Incarceration, where the famous go to get away.

If you are rich and famous and need to go away to clear your mind, incarceration may be a perfect vacation destination for you. Though I have never been, I am thinking it is something like an exclusive resort the way that celebs flock to it!

Rapper Gucci Mane last made arrangements to go back to incarceration exactly one day after coming off an incarceration getaway.  Rapper T.I. couldn't even complete a full promotional tour before itching to get both he and his wife Tiny a ticket to incarceration. Lil Wayne just got back from an incarceration trip; wonder how soon it will be before he goes back? Singer Lyfe Jennings just went back for his second extended stay. And there's a particular incarceration place in Maricopa County, AZ that DMX likes so much that today he was sent back for his sixth stay! Other rappers like C-Murder like it so much he's never coming home!

What's so great about incarceration as a spot to vacation? Is it that the pressures of freedom become too much for the rich and famous that they go to incarceration for rest and relaxation? Socialites, Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie even vacationed there briefly. Even Martha Stewart has had a suite at incarceration. Lindsay Lohan has been trying her hardest to gain entry into the exclusive incarceration resort for years to no avail. What else does Lindsay have to do to be allowed access to an urban minimum security condominium complex that boosts cement and steel architecture and minimalist decor?

Yeah. . . looks like an interesting place to visit but I personally can not afford to go on an incarceration getaway. My readers would miss me too much!

What's wrong with signing a pre-nup? I'm going to tell you what's right with it!

Recently, while in a discussion with a couple of financially secure guys the topic of pre-nuptial agreements came up. Being the only female in the mist I was asked would I ever sign a pre-nup. My answer was: Absolutely.

I'm sure that my answer broke all kinds of woman laws, but allow me an opportunity to explain myself.


I think pre-nuptial planning is a good idea just as I do family planning, financial planning, and estate planning. I think people don't fully understand the purpose of a pre-nuptial agreement: It is a contractual document that spells out what will happen in the event that the marriage dissolves.

Ladies the good news is, if the agreement is not to your liking you basically have two options:

  • Don't sign it
  • Counter offer
You are only as good as what you negotiate. The contract can provide for you generously. If you don't like the terms, then have them revised. The point is lack of an open mind when it comes to pre-nuptial planning has GREED written all over it.

With all that being said, it is truly despicable when the contract is presented days or even minutes before the couple is to walk down the aisle.This document can be for the protection of both parties and should be discussed and agreed upon prior to wedding planning. My advice, don't be greedy and evaluate the situation intelligently!
