Summary
Kelly Rowland is raising eyebrows after an interview about The Boy is Mine tour where she seemingly avoided mentioning Brandy by name — and KEMPIRE is breaking down the full history of their rumored beef, including Beyoncé's involvement. Meanwhile, singer D4vd has been officially charged following his arrest and we're reviewing exactly what he's facing. Plus, Kimora Lee Simmons' estranged husband Tim Leissner has filed for divorce — but in a shocking twist, he falsified documents claiming he had already divorced his previous wife.
