Tragic news just in.

The only child of late singer Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina Brown, has passed away aged just 22.

TMZ confirmed the unfortunate occurrence moments ago.

Bobbi died at the Atlanta hospice care facility where she has been looked after since June 24th, after family were informed that there was no chance of recovery from the coma state she had been in for seven months.

As reported, she was found submerged in her bathtub on January 31st, and police believe she was underwater for anywhere between 2 and 5 minutes. Paramedics were able to resuscitate her, but she was in a medically induced coma and placed on life support.

Her mother Whitney died in February 2012 after also being found unconscious in a bathtub.

Speaking in a press statement, the Houston family said:

“She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months.”

****************

May Bobbi Kristina Rest In Peace.

Our sincerest thoughts and prayers go to Houston and Brown families at this incredibly sad time.

It looks like third time’s the charm for Atlantan rapper Future.

For, after seeing his first two studio efforts bow in the Billboard 200’s top 10 upon their respective debuts, his third album – ‘DS2’ (in stores now) – has taken the tally’s perch.

Despite forecasts indicating the ‘Move That Dope’ rapper’s project would move less than 100k units its first week, the set has proven naysayers wrong by almost doubling its initial prediction.

See the official numbers below:

From The Vault this week journeys back to the beginning of the new millennium with a party-anthem – the aptly titled ‘Fiesta’ by R. Kelly and Jay-Z.

Released in 2001 in remixed form, ‘Fiesta’ was the third single from Kellz’ fourth studio album TP-2.com which saw the light of day the previous year. Joining the two heavyweights was Hip-Hop duo Boo & Gotti.

Commercially, the track hit #1 on the Hip-Hop/R&B tally and #6 on the Hot 100, and is believed to be the catalyst for R. and Hova’s ‘Best Of Both Worlds’ joint LP released a year later
The video for the cut was directed by Little X alongside R. Kelly and was set on a tropical beach full of scantily-clad ladies roused and ready to keep the party going.
With murmurs of joints albums for both R. Kelly and Jay-Z respectively with fan Trey Songz and wife Beyonce, we must say that we’re all for projects as such. Whether considered a side project like Pink’s You+Me and Damon Albarn’s Gorillaz or a continuation of the artists involved’s sound like Lucy Pearl – fronted by Raphael Saadiq – and Chris Brown and Tyga’s ‘Fan Of A Fan’, we feel it is a great way to refresh one’s brand by giving something unique especially in an industry where being confined in a box is the norm.
Hopefully the future will see more talented artists like Robert and Shawn get together to create undeniable jams like this.
