GOSSIP: Chris Brown & Frank Ocean TWITTER Beef!!!

Another week equals another Twitter tantrum thrown. Last week Rihanna went on a verbal tirade against a fan and this week was Chris Brown’s turn. Yesterday, the ‘F.A.M.E.’ singer traded jabs with Tyler the Creator of Odd Future and ‘Novocaine’ singer, Frank Ocean.

In Breezy’s defense, the tweet that started it all was a compliment Brown paid to Ocean saying,“I fuck wit Frank Ocean! Reminds me of a young James Fauntleroy or Kevin Cossum.” Clearly it was seen as a diss by Ocean who replied, “i fucks wit chris brown, reminds me of a young sisqo or ike turner,” Ocean went on to say, “i just dont like underhanded comments. thats all im saying.”

That’s all that was needed to ignite Brown’s short fuse. Should Chris be going back to anger management classes?!?! I never understood this whole twitter beef thing. Between Rihanna & Chris Brown maybe these slight anger issues played a part in why the two could not keep their relationship solid. Watch the shameful drama unravel below.

Brown tweets:

 Ocean responds:

Brown shoots back:

Tyler the Creator, who was also in on the beef, goes back and forth with Brown as well:

 THOUGHTS?!?!

Chris Brown spotted leaving Greystone Manor After Crashing His Porsche

R&B singer Chris Brown seen driving one of his different cars from the Greystone Manor Nightclub in Hollywood following a crash in his Porsche earlier in the day.

 The star totaled his fancy Porsche Saturday after crashing into a wall on the way to a charity event in L.A. He claims an "aggressive pursuit by paparazzi" was to blame.

Brown's rep explained in a statement to Entertainment Weekly that after the singer was cut off by photogs, "the occupants jumped out, with cameras, and aggressively approached his vehicle. In an effort to remove himself from the situation, he began to back down an alley, at which point he was cut off by two additional vehicles."

He apparently crashed into a wall, which shattered upon impact. The car looked pretty banged up too and was towed at Brown's request. 

While the singer has his side of the story, Chris Doherty, owner of INF, the agency that employed the photographers at the scene, says his guys "had nothing to do with Chris Brown crashing."

Doherty insists his cameramen arrived AFTER Chris crashed. "No photographers were following him at the time he crashed," he told TMZ. "He crashed his car and it’s convenient for him to blame us. He needs to be careful with his defamatory statements."

So far, the Beverly Hills police have issued a statement on the matter, but wouldn't comment on facts beyond the crash itself.

Brown's rep said the singer was "okay" after events, and added: "We plan on seeking criminal charges and holding them civilly liable." He's apparently sticking to his guns on this one.

Despite the expensive hiccup, the singer ended up making it to visit a kids' dance studio event  and seemed to be in good spirits. Now we'll just have to wait and see if there's any more Chris Brown excitement this weekend, since he's up for a Grammy Sunday night and will probably show up with on-again, off-again girlfriend Rihanna. It's been almost exactly four years since the couple didn't make it to the 2009 show due to their infamous domestic violence incident.
