“The fact that u believe a man either slapped or punched me in the face & didn’t leave on a stretcher w/his balls hangin off?” #getaF%cknLife
Regardless of who it is, if you’re half a man you probably feel at least a little pissed when you hear about a guy beatin up a girl, especially after all that Brown/Rihanna stuff. And last night, less than 24 hours following said supposed attack, the boys at TMZ (say what you will about Harvey, he’s [usually] pretty reliable) police sources for the tabloid site verified the report: the assailant is allegedly none other than Suffree Stevens, Minaj’s assistant, who struck her square in the lip, which was cut severely and began to bleed.

During a performance of “California King Bed”, the small fireball sent sparks into the crowd and forced the American Airlines Center to evacuate all patrons. Unfortunately Rihanna only made it through a small portion of her setlist, later apologizing to fans and make it up Continue reading “Light This Venue: Fire Blows Rihanna’s Friday Show” »
