Chris Brown has suffered a seizure

Chris Brown has suffered a seizure due to the “emotional stress” and “nonstop negativity” in his life.

Tthe L.A. City Fire Department responded to a 911 call around 1 a.m. on Friday
saying the 24-year-old had suffered a seizure​. But when they arrived at Record Plant studios,
he refused treatment.

Chris Brown’s rep confirms that he suffered a non-epileptic (NES) seizure.
“His doctor tended to him this afternoon and attributes the NES to intense fatigue
and extreme emotional stress, both due to the continued onslaught of unfounded legal matters
and the non-stop negativity,” said Nicole Perna.

His girlfriend Karrueche Tran alluded to his health scare, tweeting,
“Prayers all day … a lot on my mind today .. I need a hug.”

Chris Brown returned to Twitter on Saturday morning. “They won’t love u until u r a memory…” he wrote.
His fans also wished for a speedy recovery, making “Pray for Chris Brown” a trending topic on Twitter.

Breezy is not the only artist who’s experienced a health scare recently.
His peers Lil Wayne and Rick Ross suffered seizures, attributing theirs to lack of sleep and stress.

Nicki Minaj Says That DJ Khaled Was Kidding With The Proposal

 

Nicki Minaj called up Hot 97 tonight to chop it up with Funkmaster Flex.
She talks about DJ Khaled’s proposal, the new single “I Wanna Be With You“, recent collaborations,
rumors of a Drake fallout with Young Money and her new business ventures.

“I was shocked just like the rest of the world and I was cracking up laughing with the rest of the world
’cause Khaled is a master at what he does” said Nicki.

It was more or less a publicity stunt to promote DJ Khaled’s upcoming album “Suffering From Success”
and his new single “I Wanna Be With You” featuring Nicki Minaj, Future and Rick Ross.
“It was just another way for him to kinda give the world a glimpse on the feeling of this record” explained Nicki.

Those close to her didn’t think of it as anything more than a joke.
“Nobody in my real life took it seriously” she said. “Everybody just hit me like, LOL. Yo, Khaled is crazy.”
