Overnight Chris Brown is alleged to have assaulted another R&B
singer Frank Ocean in a argument over a parking space outside the
Westlake recording studio in Los Angles. Police are said to be keen to
speak to Brown but not keen enough to go round to his house and arrest
him. Although I'm only vaguely aware of who these people are a quick
look on Ocean's Wikipedia page reveals that he was recently involved in a
controversy about his sexuality after he revealed having romantic
relationships with other men. So while the events most certainly do seem
to have taken place and the participants may not be fully aware of
their role this whole things a set up for the African Union (AU) summit
that is currently going on in Ethiopia with a bit of awards season drama
thrown in for good measure.
At the summit the US is trying to find out if AU nations are failing to
commit troops to Mali because many of them genuinely can't afford to
deploy and supply their troops for what will be a long conflict or
whether it is AU nations showing their displeasure at Chris Brown's
recent tour and US plans for Rihanna's upcoming tour. Of course there is
also an element of the US trying to find out what AU nations know/think
about those tours. So expect the Brown/Ocean story to run with lots of
discussion about Brown's violent streak, how situations can be
manipulated to bring that violent streak to the fore and what if any
role I had in manipulating this particular situation. Then of course no
charges will be filed because the US already has more then enough to
jail Brown for a long time. They're simply protecting him in order to
use him to control and exploit Rihanna.
Oh and also with a British Airways (BA) flight from Houston to London
being diverted to Cardiff I hope I don't need to explain the latest
development in the Dreamliner story to the US because they seem to be
being very slow on the uptake.
