Bobbi Brown and boyfriend involved in mysterious single car accident BY IYABO AINA
O
ne week after tweeting a photo of himself driving while holding a gun, Nick Gordon, boyfriend of Bobbi Kristina Brown, has crashed his car under very mysterious circumstances. According to reports , the 22-year-old was arguing with Whitney Houston’s daughter when he somehow lost control of his black 2012 Camaro. Although the airbags were deployed, the front bumper was torn off, and the front right tire fell off, Gordon did not call police or 911 for help. In fact, law enforcement in Alpharetta, Georgia, was only made aware of the single-car crash when a unit was called by a neighbor to check out a disturbance at the couple’s apartment. According to sources, neither Gordon nor 19-year-old Brown answered the door, but police did notice the banged-up car parked
outside with its hazard lights flashing. Police are investigating the strange incident, although Gordon is telling his side of the story on Twitter. On We d n e s d a y, he clarified that he was the only passenger in the Camaro at the time of the crash, adding that he was still “a little sore.” Two hours later, he continued, “If I’m sore and I said nobody is in the car obviously I was in there.”

M
adonna answers people’s questions as to why she called President Barack Obama “a black Muslim” when giving him an endorsement at her concert in Washington D.C. The Material Girl explains her statement by saying , “I was being ironic on stage.” ”Yes I know Obama is not a Muslim - though I know that plenty of people in this country
is that a good man is a good man no matter who he prays to. I don’t care what religion Obama is - nor should anyone else in America.” Madge seemed to confuse her fans when she called Mr. President “a black Muslim in the White House” while voicing her support for him. “It means there is hope in this country,” she explained. “And Obama is fighting for gay rights, okay? So support the man, goddamnit!”

he family that smokes marijuana together, stays together? Snoop Dogg now known as Snoop Lion is defending the controversial photo his 18-yearold son Corde tweeted on September 13 of himself lighting his father’s bong. In a new interview with the Hollywood reporter, the rapper says, “My kids can do whatever the hell they want. For me to say otherwise would
be hypocritical. A lot of mother fuckers don’t have a relationship with their kids, and that’s when they get on drugs and have suicidal thoughts and drive drunk. Me and my son is mellow. I’m his father, so I wanna show him the proper way because he looks up to me. What better way to get it than from the master?”
