R&B bad boy Chris Brown may be dodging allegations that he was physically abusive to ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran, but what he won’t be dodging are swings from Soulja Boy in a highly publicized, now cancelled boxing match.

The duel, originally set for Dubai, is now off the table according to Brown via a recent video uploaded to Instagram.

“I bowed out of this Soulja Boy fight. I’mma tell you why, ’cause it was a legit thing on a positive scale. All the wrong people got in the way. It’s immature, first and foremost…”

The confirmation came just hours after ‘Crank That’ rapper Soulja Boy cranked out a series of tweets indicating Brown’s manager had already alerted him of the ‘Run It’ singer’s intent to bail.

The last month has been very kind to Rihanna.

Barring that whole Grammy fiasco, the songstress – who celebrated her 29th birthday on February 20th – kicked the month off by learning her latest single, ‘Love on the Brain,’ was officially certified platinum.  As if that’s not enough, this week the song ascended to the top 10 of the Hot 100.  The upward move not only granted her third trip into the tally’s upper dectet from the ‘Anti’ project alone, but it also came as a historic achievement for her (whose Hot 100 resume knows few equals).

In fact, proof of this comes just 1 year after she broke King of Pop Michael Jackson‘s Hot 100 #1s record , she’s now unseated his record-setting top 10’s record.  Get the details inside:

Lady Gaga has been a staple in the spotlight since releasing new album ‘Joanne’ and hasn’t shown any plans of vacating.

Fresh from flying high at the Super Bowl and on the Hot 100 with single ‘Million Reasons,’ Mother Monster has teamed up with celebrated music and film director Brett Ratner. 

The latter took to his Instagram to share the snap above, which he coyly captioned…

#TheloveProject On Set with #GAGA

It’s anyone’s guess what the hashtag references, but with Gaga dropping videos without warning of late (hello ‘John Wayne’) it’s not far fetched to think this teaming is for that. Especially given that the months ahead will see her busy with the shooting of new movie ‘A Star Is Born’ alongside Bradley Cooper and heading out on the ‘Joanne World Tour.’

If indeed it’s a new visual, we’re crossing our fingers and toes that it’s for the bodacious bop that is ‘Dancin’ In Circles.’
