DIVA’S DAILY DIRT: Pierre Thomas Health Scare, Chris Brown Payout

There’s concern across the music industry as reports circulate about the health of Quality Control Music co-founder Pierre “P” Thomas.

TMZ reported that Thomas was hospitalized in Las Vegas after suffering a medical emergency, while other reports claimed he suffered a heart attack. Conflicting information has circulated about the severity of his condition, and his family has reportedly asked for privacy during this time.

Meanwhile, Chris Brown is facing a major financial hit connected to a lawsuit involving a former housekeeper who was seriously injured in a dog attack at his home. A judge has reportedly ordered millions to be taken from Brown’s royalties and tour earnings as part of efforts to satisfy a roughly $13 million judgment.

Brown is currently on the road, with additional tour dates keeping Breezy busy as the legal battle continues.

And R&B fans had plenty to debate after Joe and Donell Jones went head-to-head in a Verzuz battle. Social media quickly lit up with reactions to the matchup, with plenty of viewers declaring Joe the winner while others showed love to both singers’ catalogs. The battle also sparked another question: Who should be next? Fans floated several names for future R&B matchups, including Avant.

Plus, there’s new music to get into. The Game is making noise with The Documentary 3, PARTYNEXTDOOR dropped a 10-year anniversary release, and new projects from Jorja Smith, BossMan Dlow and Skilla Baby are giving listeners plenty to add to their playlists.
