Tamar Braxton has a problem with Rihanna being nominated in R&B categories at the Grammys: - “I had an issue with Rihanna being nominated at the Grammys for Best R&B Album. She doesn’t sing R&B music. She is a pop star... It’s called Rhythm and Blues. Ribs and Barbecue. It’s not twerk music. It’s soulful. That’s R&B music. Every song of [Rihanna’s] that I’ve got my complete and utter life to has been (while) twerking. I love her and I’m one of her biggest fans period, but that’s not R&B music.”(Photos from left: Alberto Rodriguez/BET/Getty Images for BET, TS, PacificCoastNews)

Everybody thought that it meant that we were like family members, and I don’t think he thought that was going to be the reaction. He ended up getting my phone and posting his picture with a heart.

Just not Floyd Mayweather, Jr.: - "Not particularly Floyd [Mayweather] because he’s so talented that he never really puts control in anyone else’s hands, but a lot of other fighters that I’ve interacted with have very similar traits to the Billy Hope character and it’s so real, that portion of it, because they’ll secure the things that they want to be around by saying ‘Here, you do it.’"(Photo: Michael Loccisano/Getty Images)
