Usher And Chris Brown To Tour Together

Say it ain’t so!

According to reports, Usher and Chris Brown are planning a tour together. Jermaine Dupri and B. Michael Cox let the news slip during a video blog on Aug. 17th.

“Usher and the boy Chris Brown going on tour…y’all know that, right?” Cox said in the video. “They might don’t know that,” Dupri responded. “I might have just gave y’all some exclusive sh*t!” Cox quipped.

I don’t think this is a good idea at all! Chris Brown needs retire from the music business already.

Rapper Bow Wow Out Of Retirement At Age 22

Bow Wow is officially out of retirement.

After announcing his departure from the music game to focus on his burgeoning acting career earlier this year, the rapper twittered yesterday (August 17th) that he’s now a member of Cash Money Records stable of artists.

“It’s official, I’m a Cash Money Millionaire,” Bow Wow, who had parted ways with longtime label Columbia Records earlier this year, told his thousands of followers on Twitter. In previous postings, he explained he was deciding between two recording options: signing to T.I.’s Grand Hustle camp through Atlantic Records or relaunching So So Def with longtime mentor/producer Jermaine Dupri.

Bow Wow’s last album, “New Jack City II,” for which he reunited with Dupri, sold a meek 73,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
