Edd’s MANtra: R&Beef!

For those of you with an aversion to Twitter, you missed out on some good stuff yesterday.

While messing around yesterday afternoon, I noticed that one of my followers retwitted a tweet sent from my loving “cousin” Chris Brown:

I ain’t deleting my tweet either!! I was minding my damn business and Peter pan decided to pop off!!! #whatalame

Curious as to what Cousin Chris was complaining about this time, I did some digging. At some point yesterday, Raz B, formerly of the (thankfully) failed R&B group B2K, hit Twitter to profess his undying love for Rihanna. I would chide Raz B for his poor taste in women, but come on, it’s Raz B – the man named himself after a raspberry. Common sense isn’t his forte’.

Anyway, Raz tweeted that men like Eric Benet and Cousin Chris must be crazy to disrespect (i.e., cheat on or beat up) women like Halle Berry and Rihanna.

Raspberry actually has a point. But that sent Cousin Chris into a rage.

And then it was on.

C Breezy started slinging homophobic barbs at Raz, who alleged a couple of years ago that he and other B2K members were sexually assaulted by their manager.

Witness the carnage:

CB: I’m not homophobic! He’s just disrespectful!!!

CB: Tell me this @razb2k!! When the money was coming in u won’t complaining about getting butplugged! #homothug!!!

RB: @chrisbrown I love you how resort 2 disrespectful low brow tactics when u clearly sabotaged ur own career by beating women!

RB: @chrisbrown do you hit your boyfriend @andre_merritt like you hit your women?

CB: This argument has lasted longer than your career @razb2k

CB: @razb2k When I need tips on how to demolish my career I’ll call ya!!!

And the kicker – Breezy posted a picture of “Raz B.” Peter Pan, indeed.

In the midst of all this childish, but hilarious, playground banter, Raz B did raise one good point – Chris Brown’s homophobic remarks about Raz’s alleged sexual assault are very offensive to victims, and insults the gay community too. But Cousin Chris isn’t know for his compassion.

What’s sad is these two fools don’t realize that we’re laughing at BOTH of them. Raspberry hasn’t been on the radar since 2003 (thank the Lord for that) and if not for the recent success of “Deuces,” Cousin Chris would have spent the holidays at my parents’ house, sweeping out the garage before company came over.

I know this because that’s how I spent my holiday.

The only winners in this so-called beef were the readers, since their catfight kept us entertained for 90 minutes. Next time these two wanna flex, they should just grab a Wii and go at it Just Dance-style. That’s more their style.

Or maybe they should just play PaRappa the Rapper on Playstation One. Raz probably doesn’t have a Wii – 2003 was a long time ago.
