Chris Brown (and his now trademark bow tie) sat down with the Hot 97’s Angie Martinez Show this yesterday. It was more of the same questions about THE incident (Rihanna this, Rihanna that) but he did have Oprah’s name in his mouth again because he feels like she made him the bad guy on a domestic violence episode.

“I’m very tight. I don’t diss Oprah because I respect her as a woman and what she does for women all over the world. I just feel that me and her did so much together in the past as far as me working with her school in South Africa. I feel like at the time when I would have needed a helping hand, not to boost my career but for her to reach out to talk to me and Rihanna and say ‘this is wrong..this is right.’ I’m not saying have me on the show. Just help, that’s all i was asking for. It was never a thing where it was like ‘Look I want to help these two young kids’ instead of putting the blame on just one person and bringing up 3 domestic violence guys who got a kick out of doing whatever..and then comparing them to me. I felt some way about it.”

You still mad about that Chris? I mean it could be worse!

While Oprah hasn’t reached out to help Breezy, he did acknowledge Will Smith and Diddy for offering to help. He also shouted out the couple who posted a YouTube video of their wedding party dancing into the ceremony to his song “Forever.” “That put me back on the map,” he said. After gaining popularity on the web, the NBC show The Office also did their own version of the “Forever” Wedding entrance.

Out of all the things that people have said about him and all the support he’s gotten in spite of what he did, it’s silly for Chris Brown to still feel some type of way about that one Oprah episode.  He needs to let it go and focus on his upcoming Fan Appreciation tour that kicks off November 15th, ’cause if his fans aren’t feeling his new music it’s really a wrap.

Even though the VMAs have come and gone, people still can’t stop talking about Lil’ Mama crashing Jay-Z and Alicia Key’s “Empire State of Mind” performance. Lil’ Mama apologized saying she just got “caught up in the moment.” Alicia Keys responded and said “We can appreciate her being overwhelmed and inspired, but we would have appreciated it if she would have did it from her seat” and everyone had a laugh by way of all the Twitter jokes and PhotoShopped pictures of Lil’ Mama appearing in everything from the Million Man March to Da Vinci’s Last Supper picture. It seems like the incident was dying down but yesterday, Hov spoke on it during an interview with Angie Martinez of Hot 97.  This is what he had to say:

“Me, personally, I would never do that. I would never have the nerve to do that. It’s just like, someone’s up there performing…We went through rehearsals, we did run-throughs and we worked really hard at the performance to put on a show for people and to interrupt that moment for us, you know, I don’t think that was the right thing to do.”

Like everyone else, Jay also likened the incident to Kanye’s infamous stage crash (which Jay had previously called rude):

“I actually thought it was the equivalent of what Kanye did to Taylor Swift but nobody really talked about that because I’m not a little sweet girl from the middle of America. And I’m cool with [Lil' Mama] being excited and all that but you have to understand, people put in work to make that performance happen, that took weeks the planning of it. If you look at those screens, we had to go to Yankee Stadium to shoot that live, there was a lot of planning. To disrupt that was out of line. I was a little angry to be honest, but what do I do, fight Lil Mama?”

I’m actually surprised Jay-Z spoke on this at all, since he usually chooses to “be above” such issues, but I guess it was bound to come up during his crazy press schedule for Blueprint 3 (can’t wait to watch him on Oprah today!).  Seems like we can finally put this issue to bed, well, as long as Lil’ Mama doesn’t put out any more ridiculous songs about the incident like the one below.
