May 21st

In addition to Kelly Rowland, The-Dream calls on another one of Destiny’s children for his album IV Play. On “Turnt,” Beyoncé taps into her ratchet side as she trades provocative lines with the “Single Ladies” hitmaker.
“People think I’m crazy, but I love you cuz you crazy too,” sings B, while proclaiming, “Turn up!”
And what would a ratchet record be without 2 Chainz? Tity Boi adds a verse about drinking his lady’s bathwater and umm, satisfying her (“I kill that thang, whoa manslaughter”).
The-Dream’s entire album, featuring Jay-Z, Big Sean, Pusha T, Gary Clark Jr., and more, is now available to stream on YouTube ahead of its May 28 release.

”Kelly Bundy” Is Shopping Sex Tape With R&B Star
A video vixen has come forth to claim that she is the woman behind the reported Bobby V sex tape. In an interview with radio host Big Tigger, “Kelly Bundy” shared why she’s shopping footage of the R&B singer. “My name’s Kelly Bundy,” she said. “It’s definitely not about money, it’s not about no come-up. Everybody’s probably going to think that because I do videos or whatever, but it’s definitely about something between me and him, personally and the fact he won’t come and talk, I haven’t talked to him. So since he won’t talk to me, he wanna hurt me, I’m gonna hurt him in this way, the best way I know how. … I might has well get some money for it if he’s not going to talk to me, if he’s not looking for me no more. … First of all, me and Bobby have known each other for a couple years but we’ve been talking for some months, and we were really into each other. I’m really into him and I know he was really into me. But the video really came about for personal use. That’s not the only crazy thing we’ve done, anyways. That’s another story.” “One day I’m at his house, he goes to take a shower, and I’m on the computer,” Kelly added. “I’m on the Internet, it was his Internet, his computer, so the iPhotos pop up and the video pops up and I’m being nosey, of course. I couldn’t help it. It’s his computer, I was talking to him, we’ve had a mutual understanding. I’m not talking to anybody else, I’m talking to him. He can do him. It’s an open relationship. So I feel like I’m invited to his rules, I want to see what’s going on. So I go into the video and it’s a video of me and him. I forgot all about the video — so I click on it, press ‘Play’ and I send it to myself. … Short story, we went out somewhere, he thought somebody was trying to talk to me and he thought that I was trying to talk to him back. So I guess he got irritated like I’m supposed to be like that’s my man. … I was not [flirting]. I didn’t sell it and I didn’t show it to anybody but some of my friends from my phone, they don’t have it. I hit [TMZ] up to let them know I had [a sex tape with Bobby]. They have proof because they have screen shots of it. They don’t have ‘it.’ [Offers?] Of course. I don’t want to put it out there. I came all the way up here, if he’s here, if he’s on the road, I don’t know where you at but you better call me. You better answer your phone calls, you better answer my e-mails, you better do that because it’s not about to go down like this.” |
