Chris Brown Gives T-Pain His "Flowers" Amid Drake Drama
Chris Brown is giving credit where it's due and this time, it's all about T-Pain. But, was it to spite Drake?
The R&B star took to his Instagram stories to praise the artist behind hits like 'Bartender,' calling him 'one of the GOATs' of their generation.
'RANDOM THOUGHT… @Tpain is one of the goats of my generation!!!' Brown wrote on his Instagram Story over the weekend. He followed it with another story that read: 'GIVING YOU YOUR FLOWERS!!! PIONEER. LOVE YOU MY BROTHER.'
The shoutout comes at an interesting time, as T-Pain's name has been circulating following comments he made about Drake… and Drake's clapback.

In a recent episode of the Crash Dummies podcast, T-Pain reflected on something Drake once said about wanting to bow out of the game gracefully, 'The one thing I learned from Drake — and the one thing he hasn't followed — is his own words. Drake said, 'I want to be one of those people that gracefully bows out and not get kicked out.''
That criticism didn't sit well with Drizzy, of course, who responded by calling out Pain directly.
'This guy always had resentment for me,' Drake posted in an IG comment. 'You can hear it every time he speaks on my name.'
While Breezy didn't mention the Drake situation directly, fans were quick to connect the dots. Especially considering his long-running musical history with T-Pain.

Still, it hasn't always been all love. Some fans pointed out that T-Pain once called out Chris Brown during a 2022 interview with DJ Akademiks, saying the singer had what he referred to as a 'princess complex.'
'That is my motherf–kin' n—a, but I know what his faults are,' T-Pain said at the time. 'Chris Brown has the princess complex… not only when you get what you want, but when you get accolades for doing absolutely f–king nothing and just being pretty.'
Despite that moment of tough love, it's clear Brown holds no grudges. As the back-and-forth between T-Pain and Drake continues to stir opinions, Breezy's IG two cents adds some fuel to the fire.

Trump-approved portrait hangs in Colorado Capitol after ‘purposefully distorted' version was replaced
A self-approved portrait of President Trump now hangs in the Colorado Capitol – replacing an earlier version he ripped as 'purposefully distorted' and 'truly the worst.' The new portrait, created by Arizona-based Christian worship artist Vanessa Horabuena, is displayed in the third-floor rotunda of the Denver building's wall of past presidents, occupying the same spot where Sarah Boardman's original painting had hung since 2019. The latest display, donated by the White House, mirrors Trump's intense official presidential photo, depicting him leaning slightly forward with a furrowed brow and a steely gaze. 4 Trump's new portrait, created by Arizona-based Christian worship artist Vanessa Horabuena. AP 'Thank you to the Highly Talented Artist, Vanessa Horabuena, and the incredible people of Colorado,' the commander in chief posted on Truth Social Tuesday. 'Now on display at the Colorado State Capitol!' The previous portrait, featuring a much younger version of Trump, was removed from the famed wall back in March after the president randomly took to social media to criticize it – despite its six-year run on display. The original painting was commissioned after former Colorado Senate President Kevin Grantham, a Republican, raised more than $10,000 through a GoFundMe account during Trump's first term. 4 Trump's original portrait was removed after he lambasted the painting in March. Denver Post via Getty Images 'Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before,' Trump raged in March. 'The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, but the one of me is truly the worst. She must have lost her talent as she got older.' 4 Portraits of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump displayed at the Colorado State Capitol. Denver Post via Getty Images The Colorado Building Advisory Committee, not the governor, oversees the portraits. Boardman, who received backlash following the president's scathing comments, previously told The Denver Post that it was important for her portraits of both Trump and Obama to appear 'apolitical.' 4 Wall of presidential portraits in the Colorado State Capitol featuring Trump's latest creation. AP Colorado Democrats, who are in charge of the legislature, eventually agreed to take the painting down at the request of local Republican leaders. Lois Court, a former state lawmaker who chairs the Capitol Building Advisory Committee, said she received the Trump-endorsed portrait over a month ago and decided on Thursday to hang it this week. 'There was a blank on the wall,' she said. 'It seemed inappropriate. We knew that the White House had sent us this replacement and it simply made sense to put it up.' With Post wires

‘Easygoing' Keith Urban ‘did not hang up' on Aussie radio hosts over racy Nicole Kidman question
Fans kept their eyes wide shut after Keith Urban's uncomfortable radio appearance Tuesday morning. However, it turns out that the country singer, 57, wasn't the one who hung up on Mix 102.3's 'Hayley & Max in the Morning' after they asked an intimate question about his wife, Nicole Kidman. A source told People that 'Keith did not hang up, period.' 10 Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban during the 82nd Annual Golden Globes. Penske Media via Getty Images 'He doesn't host his Zoom interviews. This is a complete nothingburger,' they added. The insider noted that Urban is 'very easygoing' and did not have an issue with the question at hand. 10 Hayley Pearson and Max Burford. Mix102.3 The interview seemed to be going well at first, with Urban in high spirits over playing at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on August 28, sharing it's 'just a good vibe in the audience.' Things then took a turn after hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford asked the Grammy winner to play the radio show's 'Wall of Truth' game. 'What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having these beautiful love scenes on TV and radio?' Burford inquired. 10 Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman attend the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards. Getty Images 10 Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman. Getty Images 'What just happened here?' he then asked as a producer said, 'He's disconnected from Zoom.' 'I think his team hung up on us because they didn't want us to ask that question,' the producer continued. 'He's gone, see you Keith.' Pearson, meanwhile, was worried they had 'upset' Urban, noting she had a feeling 'that would happen.' 10 Nicole Kidman as Brooke Harwood and Zac Efron as Chris Cole in 'A Family Affair.' YouTube / Netflix 10 Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron in 'A Family Affair.' YouTube / Netflix 'Does Keith Urban hate us? Do we have beef with Keith Urban now?' Burford said before asking his co-host, 'If you knew this was going to happen, Hayley, why didn't you stop me asking the question?' Kidman, 58, and Efron, 37, starred as love interests in Netflix's 2024 rom-com 'A Family Affair.' The actress played a widowed writer who starts dating a selfish actor (Efron). Reflecting on their intimate scenes, the 'Big Little Lies' alum explained last year that it was easier because she and the 'High School Musical' star had already worked together in the 2012 thriller 'The Paperboy.' 10 Keith Urban, Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban, Faith Margaret Kidman-Urban, Sybella Hawley, and Nicole Kidman.

'You're not working to create a history. So I'm not like, 'Can I touch you?' I feel incredibly trusting of Zac.' Nicole also starred as a CEO who has a love affair with her young intern, played by Harris Dickinson, 29, in the 2024 film 'Babygirl.' Meanwhile, it's no secret that Urban is not a fan of discussing his relationship with Kidman, whom he married in 2006, while promoting his work. 10 Nicole Kidman and Sunday Rose Kidman Urban. Getty Images for W Magazine Urban, who shares daughters Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14, with the actress, was on the 'Jam Nation with Jonesy & Amanda' podcast last September, when host Amanda Keller asked about their relationship. She inquired if Urban thought his and Kidman's love story would have still happened if they had never met at G'day Australia, to which he quickly corrected her that it was 'G'day LA.' 'No, I think it would,' Urban answered, with Keller pushing, 'Yeah? Are you a believer in fate or do you think it's two Australians, it would have happened?' 'No idea,' Urban responded before stating, 'Anyway, moving on.' 10 Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman. Getty Images for Concert For Carolina In December, Kidman gushed over how the singer still keeps the romance alive all these years later. 'I like being asked out, which he still does,' she told People. 'Seven nights ago, we went to dinner in New York. We love Japanese food, but I'm open [to everything]. I like not knowing where he's going to take me. Surprise me, baby!'

Lena Dunham slams ‘insane' obsession over the ‘shape of my body'
This girl isn't here for the online chatter. Lena Dunham is opening up about the public's unsolicited opinions on her body while she was starred on the HBO Max series 'Girls,' from 2012 to 2017. 'I expected that people would have a response to the kind of sex the show was depicting or the level of nudity, but the idea that my body, the shape of my body, would become such a hotbed for discussion? It was insane,' the actress, 39, said while speaking to The Times on Saturday. Advertisement 9 Lena Dunham attends the 'Too Much' UK Special Screening. Getty Images 'I can't say I was never rocked, but I'm lucky enough that my thing has never been looking at a picture of myself and picking myself apart or feeling tortured about how I looked—it's just not my area,' Dunham added. 'I have my own stuff I'm tortured about, but it wasn't that.' Advertisement 9 Lena Dunham at the 'Too Much' UK premiere. Getty Images 9 Luis Felber and Lena Dunham. Getty Images In 2013, Howard Stern called the Netflix star 'a little fat girl,' and a year later, the magazine Jezebel offered $10,000 for the original picture of her Vogue cover to prove it had been retouched. The writer also touched on Ozempic, a Semaglutide injection used to treat type 2 diabetes, which is now also being used for weight loss. Advertisement Dunham dubbed the current day and age an 'Ozempiced-out moment,' while asking, 'Does the body positivity movement still exist?' and noting, 'I don't know where it is.' Once 'Girls,' which followed a group of friends post-college, went off the air eight years ago, Dunham intentionally stepped out of the limelight. 9 Lena Dunham in 2022. lenadunham/Instagram 9 Lena Dunham poses in June. lenadunham/Instagram Advertisement She ended up moving to London in 2021 after her breakup with Jack Antonoff. Within six months, she met and married her husband, Luis Felber. 'Being on the 'Girls' set all the time was like living in a fake New York,' continued Dunham. 'I spent my whole twenties pretending to go out in the city and pretending to live, so I didn't actually know how to do it at all. When the show ended I didn't know what direction to move in. I wasn't young enough to be out and feeling fun and free. 'I felt fatigued, yet didn't know how to mature [in New York]. I didn't know how to grow up there. I remember my father asked, 'Can you boil an egg?' And me being like, I think so? You just put it in water?'' 9 Lena Dunham. lenadunham/Instagram She also 'felt like all the maturing and changing that had been kept at bay by the experience of being in that cocoon of ['Girls'] was suddenly happening at a speed that was overwhelming,' she confessed to the outlet. 'It was a painful metamorphosis.' Now, Dunham is back in the spotlight with 'Too Much,' an autobiographical rom-com starring Megan Stalter. Dunham stepped out for the red carpet premiere last week, stunning in a deep red gown. 9 Lena Dunham, Jemima Kirke, Zosia Mamet, and Allison Williams in 'Girls.' HBO Advertisement 9 Season 6 of 'Girls.' HBO 'What a perfect London night- at my favorite building (The Barbican) with my favorites,' the star gushed in her Instagram caption. 'So excited to share what we've made with our other favorites- you!' Dunham's latest project comes a year after she revealed she had pulled out of Mattel's 'Polly Pocket' movie. 'I'm not going to make the Polly Pocket movie,' she told the New Yorker. 'I wrote a script, and I was working on it for three years.' Advertisement 9 Lena Dunham in 'Girls.' HBO 'But I remember someone once said to me about Nancy Meyers: the thing that's the most amazing about her is that the movie she makes or the movie she would be making with or without a studio, with or without notes — that somehow her taste manages to intersect perfectly with what the world wants. What a f–king gift that is. And Nora Ephron, too, who was such a mentor to me, but always said, 'Go be weird. Don't kowtow to anyone.'' The reason why Dunham didn't cast herself as the lead in 'Too Much' was simple. 'I was not willing to have another experience like what I'd experienced around 'Girls' at this point in my life,' she said.
