The 2013 Grammys had a lot of surprises for us this year. Not only was there a Justin Timberlake comeback performance, but also... ... a brand spankin' new category!
Frank Ocean's terrific 'Channel Orange' has won Best Urban Contemporary Album at the 2013 Grammys. As presenter Nas stated before handing out the Grammy, this was the first year that this award has been presented.
TMZ is reporting that someone from Chris Brown's entourage threatened to shoot Frank Ocean and called him a homophobic slur during their Jan. 27 scuffle. But despite the serious nature of the new details, the case is now closed, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Frank Ocean decided not to press charges against Chris Brown after the two battled over a studio parking spot last month, but the controversy won't go away. The police report has been leaked, TMZ reports, and Ocean apparently told cops that he was called a homophobic slur ("f-----") during the brawl, and that Brown threatened to shoot him. Yikes. All this over a parking space?
Given his reputation as a bit of a hothead, most people have basically assumed that Chris Brown was to blame for whatever went down between him and Frank Ocean on Jan. 27 -- and it shouldn't surprise anyone that one of Ocean's producers is confirming that version of events.
Fourteen-time Grammy winner Alicia Keys was snubbed by the Recording Academy this year, but she'll be appearing at the Grammys anyway as part of a special collaboration with Maroon 5. The Academy announced the news in a press release which also confirmed that Frank Ocean will get a performance slot on the show.
Parking spaces are serious real estate in Los Angeles -- but enough to cause two musicians to come to blows? The answer, apparently, is yes, as Frank Ocean and fellow R&B star Chris Brown put up their dukes yesterday (Jan. 27) over a studio parking spot.
Not again!
Tell us if you've heard this one before: Chris Brown was in a physical fight with another star. This time, it was in a recording studio instead of a nightclub ... and it was with Frank Ocean instead of Drake.
