Stop the Violence: Drake's Entourage Busts Chris Brown w/ A Champagne Bottle! (Off-Color Issue)

These feuds really got to stop. The only feuds I want to see is Steve Harvey hosting 'Family Feud.' Check this out, I know that I'm supposed to post on fashion, but once in a while, these little moments come up. Chris Brown was reportedly hit in the face with a champagne bottle by Drake's entourage. Drake was reportedly not involved in the scuffle, but he DID have something to do with how the entire scuffle started in the first place...
And there's the big gash that had to be sewn up last night...
SMH...

DRAKE Sports A Slight Tan (How?) In Rainy London, But Looks BOSS In His Whole Look!

I don't know if it was nighttime in London that Drake may have appeared slightly darker (well, everyone is darker in the DARK) but I definitely believe he has a slight tan. And his whole look was great as well. Tan windbreaker with gray scarf (skull & bones) that complements the light denim jeans and Balenciaga sneakers for $545.
More angles of Drake and his perfectly subtle--yet still makes a statement--outfit; Man, I would rock that outfit...

That scarf is probably by Alexander McQueen.

The Art Of Music Video 'Take Care': Drake ft. Rihanna
And they're back, looking quite the couple, a seemingly sometimes estranged couple promising that whatever happens in life, they'll take care of each other.
Drake and Rihanna take a sharp contrast from their last video together, 'What's My Name', on Rihanna's LOUD album, by choosing to do black-and-white and a more serious tune in this video.
But let's look at this beautiful art. WOW... Drake had this in mind? Keep in mind, Drake has to have the final say before this video is released. The icy mountains, the fiery forests, the cultural dancer, especially the BULL, the sheer essence of each of the settings had really invoked some deep thoughts.
I bet many of you probably though based on the lyrics, the video would be slightly RAUNCHY. But it wasn't. That's what makes it so cool and interesting.

DRAKE Groomed Up, Suited and Booted For Upcoming GQ Spread

Drake's got the stylists around him, the eyebrows and beard groomed, and ready to roll. He knows GQ don't play. For another magazine a few weeks ago, he was a DIVO by showing up about 8 HOURS LATE for a photo shoot, and I presume he showed up on time for this one. As far as I know, if you're not respectful of GQ's standards, don't expect to be hired again.
Nice suits, by the way. Blue is in for Spring and Summer 2012.

This Beautiful $9 Million Hollywood Hills Pad Belongs To... DRAKE?! (Excerpt Inside)
I love real estate and houses; I'll get into that very soon (when my STACKS get larger). But check out Drake's new, sprawling mansion. REEEEEEEALL NIIIIIIIIICE, although the interior is in need of some re-modeling (too many wall paintings) such as soft colors on walls and throw rugs and contrast that with some dark, manly, and modern furniture.
And see the excerpt from Rap-Up/ Necole B***hie below:
Just a few days beforehand, Drizzy held a huge housewarming party at his new $9 milli bachelor pad in Hollywood Hills. He reportedly moved into the $45,000/month mansion after putting two condos up for sale in Miami. The new residence includes six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a wine cellar, tennis court, volleyball court, 24-seat theater, and pool complete with a waterfall oasis that has its very own wet bar where Drake and his crew can drink to his accomplishments. And did I fail to mention the on-site, five-stall horse facility with a riding area for any chicks who come over and want to ride. There’s even an ATM machine if you are short on cash. Ballin’...

DRAKE Rocks Aaliyah Tattoo On His Back... Hmm.
DRAKE is the dude on the right of this photo.
Check his new AALIYAH tattoo on his mid-left side of his back. Wow... that's some kinda love to get a woman's face tattoo on a guy's back... especially Aaliyah, who had passed years ago.
I wonder what was Drake's motive, but anyway a good tattoo is good art (coincides with FASHION, hence Art is Fashion).

Fash, Crash, and Burn: The Girl With The 'DRAKE' Tattoo On Her Forehead

Chris Brown, Drake, and just about everybody in the tattoo world would DISPROVE of this DUMB ISH, myself included.
About 2 weeks ago (or so), this crazy girl went to the tattoo parlor and requested that 'DRAKE' be tattooed on her forehead. I wonder how did that tattoo artist react to that, and did this guy have some COUTH to tell her that he would not damage his TATTOO REP by doing this??
Well needless to say from the pic above, the girl (SHAVED EYEBROWS AND ALL) had the Drake tattoo done.
Word got out FAST, and Drake was upset and went INNNNN on video to all parties involved! He looks funny being all mad, though. But anyway, the pic above ends up on my FASH, CRASH, AND BURN category.
Take a look at this dumb tat again:

...and AGAIN...

Do You Like DRAKE's Blue Tunic That He Wore To His 25th B-Day Party?

Rapper Drake sported a new look on his 25th BDAY at TAO Nightclub.
Dude wore a blue tunic-inspired shirt that had this very MIAMI VICE vibe. He even rocked a gold chain and watch (scaled back the beard, too).
LIKE?? 'Cuz uhh... really not my style, but I'd go for the glasses.

DRAKE Is 'GQ'-ing Up The Red Carpet
Check out DRAKE, or Drizzy-Drake, on the red carpet. Dressed in all-black couture, it's a long way from wearing the street clothes. So you can say that Drake.... cleaned up a bit.
I must note how well the outfit is put together; I like how the suit is played up with a low-cut T-shirt and simple jewelry. Well done, bro...

FLASHBACK: RIHANNA's Fashion Choices In Music Videos 'Only Girl,' 'What's My Name,' 'S&M,' and 'Rude Boy'

Wassup from Detroit, as you know (or if you're just finding out), Rihanna is one of my favorite artists--and my guilty pleasure. I juat wanted to bring a FLASHBACK of all of her music videos that she's made in the timeframe of just 1.5 years. While the music may move you (my niche is not MUSIC but FASHION), this is your chance to look back at Rihanna's GOOD GIRLY to BAD GIRLY clothing choices.

Rihanna's 'Only Girl' and 'What's My Name' garnered critical acclaim for the 180-degree change from her ROCK-HARD fashion image from her 'Rated R' album. See this acclaim for yourself: Both videos racked up over 100 million views... EACH.
The clothing choices from 'Only Girl' allowed Rihanna to show a lot of skin but at the same time look innocent and flirty (the red hair doesn't suggest that, though *LOL*). 'What's My Name' also showed Rihanna's innocent and flirty style with her multi-colored, zebra-striped outfit she wore several months ago, dancing without a care, ALL SMILES, in New York City with Drake.
'S&M' outfits cannot be found at your local WAL-MART :-) Actually... it can't be found in any store except the ones that intentionally go unmentioned here.

An last but not least, 'RUDE BOY,' the island-inspired flavor that had me clapping my hands and had THE ONLY JAIDEN gettin' into my Jamaican ego and vibe last summer.... 'YEAH 'MON!!' The style choices were crazy!! Too much for words... This video is one where you can't help but stare. It may be considered TRASHY, COPY-CATTED, and whatever may utter out of a mouth, but it's pure ARTWORK IN ITS RAWEST, NEARLY OBSCENE FORM.


There are so many more videos I could talk about... but THE ONLY JAIDEN has things to do this morning.
Did you enjoy RIHANNAVILLE?

DRAKE & RIHANNA Steams Up The Stage Lookin' Hott & Stylish At 2011 All-Star Game
I really, REALLY do think that Rihanna and Drake would make a great couple (well, I'm kinda in the running for RiRi so Drake watch out *LoL*); they're very natural and flirty.
Rihanna celebrated her 23rd birthday yesterday at the 2011 All-Star Game, so it's like she performed at her own party, and tens of millions of people celebrated with her. WHAT A BIRTHDAY TO REMEMBER! Rihanna performed all her #1 hits: "Umbrella," "Rude Boy," "Only Girl," and then..."WHAT'S MY NAME" with Drake! All the flirting, laughing, touching... wish I was on that stage *LoL* but anyway... I'm just here for the fashion.
Rihanna wore an interesting short skirt with strategically placed ruffles that would accentuate her curves and swing with every motion she made. I also liked her sensual bejeweled bodice that was just a dream, especially with her long, flowing red locks looking like a flowing fountain of cool Kool-Aid *LoL* They both did a great job, as Rihanna ended with Kanye West performing in an all-red ensemble (pics coming in a later post) that seemed to have shrunk him *sideways look.*
That's enough talking. See more pics!
Hmmm.. HOTT. Not feelin' the red pants though, Kanye... but I like your vest and shoes.

NICKI MINAJ and DRAKE Gets Married In Latest Music Video!
What if this ACTUALLY took place?? Talk about the royal wedding of YOUNG MONEY *LoL*
Rihanna and Nicki Minaj would fight over Drake and that would be the big fallout of the century and my biggest fantasy *LoL I'm a trip*. Both of them looked great... and while this thing may be cute and all, there's just a little TOO much chemistry going on... since "Barbie" is wifed up...
Nicki Minaj was filming for her latest music video, "Moment for Life" in a full-on wedding scene...

NICKI MINAJ and DRAKE Party On New Years' -- A Lil' Too Closely for Nicki's Fiance's Comfort
I'm just doing a fly-by on this. Nicki was with her boo and fiance, Safaree, and then flipped the script when Drake arrived late to the party. She was all over Drake, making Safaree uncomfortable. Heyy, I know any guy would be uncomfortable seeing his woman all hee-hee and ha-ha with another man present when she don't really act that way with her own man.
Her fiance left the party early. Sounds like nothing, right? Well, Nicki was surprised, reportedly looking around the club for her fiance.
But hey...it is what is. Other people also reported that their [Nicki and Drake] behavior was just a tad suspicious. Guess, we just wait and see... Yup.

DRAKE And RIHANNA Together?? Fashionista & Swooner Unite...

But in this picture swings Drake next to Rihanna's side. "Rihanna and Drake" or "Drake and Rihanna" has really captivated the media world ever since Rihanna's release of 2010 song "What's My Name?" The music video really gave people a glimpse into "what could be" of Rihanna and Drake. See the video and keep onnnnnn reading.....
For those of you who can't see how Drake could measure up to Rihanna over Matt Kemp, just see a brief note about his accomplishments below:
Drake is the highest-earning newcomer on the [Forbes] list. He banked $9 million over the past 12 months, thanks to a new record deal, an advertising pact with Sprite and an agreement with Virgin America that plasters his likeness onto the sides of airplanes. Another good decision: recruiting Lil Wayne and Jay-Z to appear on his debut album, Thank Me Later, which sold 447,000 copies in its first week.
Rihanna earns roughly $15 million from all similar ventures.
Hmm.... we'll see how all this will play out. Should make a cute couple....

DRAKE in Canada Goose Chilliwack Jacket

(Just doin' a fly-by) Drake was spotted at Hot 97's Thanksgiving Concert with Nicki Minaj. While i'm here talking about them, I can't stress enough that even though I feature celebs and music artists, I don't talk about their music or whatever it is they do, I just look at the fashion. Drake was wearing a limited edition Canada Goose Chilliwack Jacket with fur lining interior and on the hood for $900. Like the coat, Detroit?

RIHANNA Does It Again With Fashion

Don't think so? Look at the many girls around America and overseas. They rock the "SHAVED HAIRDO" or the "Rihanna" mohawk. Whatever she does, they do. It's a trend, a crazy trend the girls just can't seem to get enough of. Now, since the black girls have cut their hair to be like RIHANNA (knowing BLACK GIRL HAIR don't grow back fast), sly girl switches it up to red-hot hair; this time changes it a lot. It grew 2 feet overnight to LOOOOOONG RED HAIR LoL. Gotta love it.
Rihanna is seen wearing this eye-catching shoulder-padded jacket that reminisces the heydays of hip-hop MTV '80s, black bodice and "yellow underwear" *lol* and vicious black boots. Look at 'em legs...
She was performing "What's My Name" for MTV's SEVEN, a new show following 7 performers, and also performing as part of promotion of her newest album. Her album LOUD comes out today, November 16th.
Whatever your style is, ladies, wear it PROUD and wear it WELL! Don't let the clothes 'make' you; YOU 'make' the clothes with your sheer swag, your confidence no matter what shape and size you are, and ROCK IT OUT... LOUD!!!!
