Instagram Gallery: Chris Brown’s Sweetest Moments With His Kids

Chris Brown is a man of many talents. From singing, rapping, and dancing onstage to putting together a fresh, fly fit for whatever plans his day might have in store, there’s not much the 33-year-old can’t do.

During his time off from the hustle and grind of the entertainment industry, the “Kiss Kiss” hitmaker is a devoted father to his three children – Royalty Brown (8), Aeko Catori Brown (2), and Lovely Symphani Brown, who was born earlier this year.

Much like the other important facets of his life, the R&B star loves to show off his family on Instagram, regularly capturing clips of Royalty rocking the mat during gymnastics practice or commenting on how similar he and his son look.

Check out some of the Virginia native’s sweetest social media moments with his children below.


As the oldest of Brown’s children, 8-year-old Royalty has had more time to develop a solid bond with her father than her siblings have, which is likely why hers is the face most frequently seen on his feed. Most recently, he made a surprise visit in order to celebrate her birthday, and not long before that, the young girl uploaded a photo to her own account of her superstar dad proudly supporting her at a dance competition.

In fact, the father of three seems to be particularly proud of RoRo for her moves, posting several clips of her grooving over the years – including one of her practicing the choreography for Drake’s early pandemic hit, “Toosie Slide.”

 


It’s clear who she got her skills from, and to top it off, she’s a skilled gymnast in training too.


As a father, it’s a top priority for Brown to make his kid’s dreams come true, which he did on Royalty’s birthday a few years ago when she put in a special request for a pet bird, who she later included in some of her IG dancing videos.


Aeko may only be two years old, but he’s already proved that he’s got the potential to be a great performer like Brown too.


For now, though, his responsibilities are limited to looking adorable, and being well-behaved for his mother, Diamond Brown, and her co-parent.


As the young boy grows older, he’s been able to enjoy more adventures with his dad, as you can see from these pictures snapped on their tropical trip.


Brown loves to point out how similar his children look to him, often referring to both Royalty and Aeko as his “twin” online.


And even if you tried to deny the resemblance, you simply can’t deny that the kids have a solid style influence in their fashionable dad, who often captures photos of their fits to proudly post.


As for little Lovely Symphani, she hasn’t been introduced on the “With You” singer’s feed just yet, although she has been smiling on his Story every so often, and it’s likely only a matter of time before she gets the same spotlight as her siblings.

Dominic Fike Took A Ton Of Mushrooms Before A “Euphoria” Audition

Dominic Fike has become a fan-favorites of season two of Euphoria, one of HBO’s most popular series right now. Fike’s stardom has come with fans’ obsession with his personal life. He recently made headlines when he announced that he and his co-star Hunter Schafer are dating, affirming rumors that have been swirling for a while now.

Now, Fike has revealed a new anecdote for fans to pore over. It turns out Fike could have been in Euphoria‘s first season, but he blew an audition after taking a bunch of magic mushrooms beforehand.

According to Fike, who was speaking with GQ, he had made it through multiple rounds of auditions and was asked to do a “final chemistry read” with Barbie Ferreira, another actor on the show. Fike decided it was a good idea to do some method acting for the read through. He reasoned that because the show had lots of drug use, it would benefit his performance to use drugs.

“I started peaking right when me and Barbie were reading,” said Fike. Unfortunately for him, the mushrooms did not enhance his performance. Rather, he simply befuddled the creator of the show, Sam Levinson, whom he hallucinated was wearing a dress. “I looked at him and I was like, ‘Are you wearing a dress right now?'” Recalled Fike. “It was crazy. I started making fun of everybody in the room.”

The hallucinations made it difficult to even read his lines, as the letters on the page in front of him began to float around. Predictably, this strategy did not make for a good audition. According to Fike, his agents called him after the read and were not happy. “They were like, ‘What. The. F**k?'” Fike said. Levinson must have seen some potential in Fike, though, since he was able to return for the second season.

Blac Chyna Trains For Boxing Match With Woman Who Fought Kim Kardashian

Last month, Blac Chyna, whose real name is Angela Renée White, challenged celebs to step in the ring for a boxing match. After waiting for someone to take her up on her offer, she finally got a response. On June 11, the mother of two will be fighting Instagram influencer, Alysia Magen, for charity. 

The two women met for a press conference to promote their fight– which ended with Chyna being shoved into her security. With the match being a week away, both of the ladies have been training hard in hopes to take home the win.

TMZ got exclusive footage of Chyna practicing her technique at the Fortune Boxing Gym in Los Angeles, California. In the clip, the 36-year-old seemed to throw an aggressive right jab, all while allowing her left hand to guard her face. 

The media outlet stated that Demon Feldman, founder and CEO of Official Celebrity Boxing, revealed to them who is training Chyna– Tamara Frapasella-Fortune. Tamara is not just a boxing champion, she was also Kim Kardashian’s opponent in a 2010 celebrity boxing match. Aside from that, her husband, Justin Fortune, trains professional fighter, Manny Pacquiao.

Nonetheless, Chyna isn’t the only one gearing up for their competition. Alysia is said to be training with the undefeated Monty Aboughaly.

The match is set to take place next Saturday (June 11) in Pembroke Pines, FL. It will be referred by UFC fighter, Rashad Evans. Who do you think is going to win the match? Sound off in the comments.

Simu Liu Says Waxing His Entire Body For “Barbie” Movie Was “One Of The Most Painful Experiences”

Simu Liu has a new appreciation for women who book waxing appointments every month. The Canadian actor’s latest role finds him starring alongside Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in the Greta Gerwig-directed Barbie film, set to arrive in theatres in the summer of 2023.

While it remains unclear exactly what part the Marvel start will be playing onscreen – IMDb has already listed Gosling as Ken – the star has had to undergo some beauty treatments in order to achieve the picture-perfect doll look. “Waxing has been an education, to say the least,” Liu shared during an interview with The Independent.

He went on to describe it as “one of the most painful experiences of [his] life,” adding, “I have such a newfound admiration for the incredibly brave women who go through this on a monthly basis.”

While The Place Beyond the Pines actor has the leading role of Ken all taken care of, some online speculation – and the fact that he bleached his hair from jet black to platinum blonde – finds fans pondering whether Liu will be taking on another version of the beloved doll.

The 33-year-old could neither confirm nor deny the rumours, though he did admit that seeing all “the discourse online is giving [him] life.”

Other famous faces set to appear in Barbie include Superstore‘s America Ferrera, Saturday Night Live‘s Kate McKinnon, Anchorman‘s Will Ferrell, Superbad‘s Michael Cera, Insecure‘s Issa Rae, and Sex Education‘s Emma Mackey and Ncuti Gatwa.

Desiigner Claims Bystanders Saved Him In Police Altercation

When Desiigner was pulled over on Wednesday, things quickly got out of hand. The rapper got into a shouting match with the responding officers, calling one of them a “racist b*tch” and asking them if they knew who he was.

In a recent interview with TMZ, Desiigner now credits bystanders for de-escalating the confrontation, saying that they helped him cool down.

Desiigner claimed that his “anxiety start[ed] running” when he saw that he was getting pulled over at a gas station in Los Angeles, causing him to yell at the officers. According to the rapper, the officers threatened to use pepper spray and Tasers when he tried to get back into his car. “I see him on his gun and stuff, and I was like, ‘None of that, bro,'” recalled Desiigner.

When one of the officers threatened the use of force, Desiigner decided he needed to ensure there were witnesses. “I felt like the smartest thing to do at that moment was to grab onto my Live, grab onto my supporters, people that are going to spread the word,” Desiigner explained. According to him, there were also fans at the scene, who helped lower the tension and make sure he was alright. The rapper said that his lawyer would be handling the ensuing legal ramifications of the altercation.

Desiigner was pulled over for having no plates and window tint. He now says that he’ll be fixing both issues as soon as possible. Check out the conversation with Desiigner below, along with the original video taken by Tariq Nasheed.

YK Osiris Says Women In Relationships Shouldn’t Pay Bills

YK Osiris is always down to talk about his finances. The 23-year-old artist has been accused of owing celebrities like Drake, Young Thug, French Montana, and Lil Baby tons of money. Now that it appears he’s “debt-free,” the singer is giving out money advice.

In a video uploaded to Instagram, the “Worth It” artist expressed his opinion on women paying for things while in a relationship. He started by saying, “Let me tell y’all something. If you’re still paying for hair and nails– any bills– and you’ve got a man… goodnight!” Further expounding on his point, YK, whose real name is Osiris Jahkail Williams, pondered, “What is the world coming to?”

In an effort to be fair, he added, “I’m not saying be handicapped, but if you’re a woman, and you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing… why the hell you still paying… got me f*cked up man, come on man.”

He didn’t let up there, though. After seeing it from a woman’s point of view, he decided to take aim at the fellas, saying, “Oh you’re complaining about paying for her hair and nails? You ain’t gone do it? Oh okay, another n*gga will. Like me!”

The Shade Room posted the 50-second clip onto their Instagram, and YK jumped into the comments to speak further on the topic. He wrote, “I’m not talking bout a lil [girl], I’m talking bout a grown [woman] who know how to cater.”

Do you agree with YK? Sound off in the comments.
