This was no exception to R&B singer Teairra Mari, who faced multiple charges after being arrested back in August for driving while under the influence, which resulted in her tapping the rear-end of the car in front of her.

When you hear about a cat fight, especially over hair, you assume it probably involves women. Nope, the beef was between R&B singers Lloyd and Miguel.

While Lloyd was promoting his latest album on BET’s 106 & Park, Lloyd premiered a new haircut, which frustrated Miguel. The “Sure Thing” singer, known for his androgynous style including his haircuts, quickly took to Tw...
