Drama as Chris Brown and Usher fights at birthday party (Video)
Chris Brown and Usher Raymond are reported to have gotten into an altercation that was said to have become violent during the former’s 34th birthday party.
According to TMZ, the alleged altercation between the two famous US singers occurred on Friday night at the Skate Rock City roller rink in Las Vegas.
It was gathered that Brown was celebrating his birthday in the company of close friends including Usher.
The event had started on a good note as Usher performed in front of the guests in attendance. It was reported that things, however, changed in the early hours of Saturday.
Chris was said to have attempted to initiate a conversation with Teyana Taylor, the US dancer, but was ignored due to “whatever reason”.
This had infuriated Brown, who started to yell at Teyana, and “that’s when Usher intervened and tried to calm him”.
The news outlet quoted sources as saying “Chris wasn’t having it, cursing at Usher and Teyana — but then, mostly focusing his anger directly at Usher.”
“Eventually, our sources say Chris told his crew they were leaving and they exited the facility. We’re told Usher took off his skates and went after them.”
Usher was said to have later been seen with a “bleeding nose” after he “went behind a string of charter buses that were parked in the lot where Chris and his crew were at”.
See the footage below:
Usher and Chris have also been scheduled to perform in Vegas. But it is still unclear if either of them would attend the Lovers & Friends festival.

Oh her part, Rihanna confessed she had only heard of Starr through her cousin’s obsession with her music.
“I have been hearing of Ayra Starr, I did not know who but my cousin she was like, ‘Oh my God I got this from Ayra Starr.’ She was obsessed with you,” she said.
She also inquired if the Nigerian songstress has a project with Tems, her colleague.

Kai Cenat threatens to sue OnlyFans model, Layla Red who leaked their chats
Twitch streamer Kai Cenat is poised to initiate legal action against OnlyFans model Layla Red, who allegedly leaked his private images and messages.
According to the claims, Layla Red released conversations showing Cenat agreeing to pay $5,000 for sexual services, leading to her Instagram account being suspended soon after. Addressing the matter during a recent Twitch stream, Cenat assured his viewers that he would tackle the issue through legal means, maintaining his composure throughout the broadcast.
In his first appearance on Twitch following the scandal, Cenat remained unruffled by the allegations, confidently informing his audience about his plans to pursue legal recourse. “There is some dumb shit, clout-chasing weird ass shit going on right now bro. But it’s alright though, it’s alright chat. I’ll see you in court,” he announced.
Cenat also expressed a desire to clear up the situation, urging his viewers to hear his side of the story. “Got you! Okay? Listen to me, okay? I can explain, bro. Listen to me chat, okay, I can explain,” he remarked during the stream. He described the leak as an attempt to gain notoriety, noting that the referenced incidents took place early in 2023.
“There is some weird shit going on right now, some weird clout chasing shit going right now, bro. And you know what’s so crazy? Do you know that shit was in the beginning of 2023? All that shit that you guys see right now is 2023 shit bro, you feel me? Like, goddamn, bro,” he explained.

Shifting away from the controversy, Cenat later encouraged a lighter tone in the conversation. “But yeah, we are not going to talk about it no more. Let’s talk about flowers, rainbows, Ice Spice, come on,” he suggested, steering the dialogue away from the contentious issue.
If the case proceeds to court, it could potentially be treated as a matter of revenge porn, which involves the unauthorised distribution of intimate images or videos with the intention to harm, embarrass, or distress the individual depicted.
Should it be proven that the images and messages were shared without Cenat’s consent and intended to damage his reputation or cause distress, it could fulfil the legal requirements for a revenge porn case. Further evidence of malicious intent or exploitation by Layla Red could also strengthen this claim.
