The douchiest news item of the year so far was the hoopla surrounding Beyonce’s performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the inauguration. That award now goes to the apparent fight that occurred last night when Frank Ocean and Chris Brown crossed paths (yet again) in the parking lot of Westlake Studio in Los Angeles.
TMZ reports that Ocean and his crew weren’t letting Brown leave the location. And when the latter went to shake the former’s hand, a member of Ocean’s team hit (or tried to hit) Brown. This led to an altercation between the two camps, which got broken up by the police. I think.
You see, the information surrounding the whole thing is kind of blurry because TMZ says that Brown wasn’t there when the cops showed up. So, he bounced and his guys stayed to fight? OK, that makes sense. But here’s what Ocean had to say about what happened:
got jumped by chris and a couple guys. lol. i only wish everest was there.

I’m kind of partial to believing Ocean’s side of the story, if only because he doesn’t have a violent and erratic past like you-know-who. Also, he’s not an insufferable piece of shit, so there’s that, too.
Anyway, here’s what might be one of the best humble brags in recent memory.
cut my finger now I can’t play w two hands at the grammys.

Update: It appears the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department is investigating the matter. It was reported on Bossip that it would be pursued as a hate crime, but that is not true. It appears the ordeal is a misdemeanor battery case and that no arrests were made.
Both are fuckin shitty. RnB for hipsters, and RnB for mainstream fans. OH DUDE DID U HEAR FRANK OCEAN, HE IS SO HONEST AND FRESH….Naaah son, he is just boring crap for bored teenagers. Also what with all these ego’s? I feel like for the past 3-4 years we have seen too many rappers/RnB singers (all black) fighting over stupid shit (in end mostly their big egos). Childish as fuck. I’m sure that the reason for the fight would be something really retarded that only the more retarded hip-hop culture would really care about. The worst thing is that for every black guy who tries not to act like an idiot, there are at least 2 other black dudes who are like 30 and act like 15.
meh, still a psycho
Least he’s trying to hit dudes now?
Chris Brown is the biggest dick head ever.
Chris Brown is such a class act. (rolls eyes)
