Back on top of the R&B world, Chris Brown is no longer viewed as the ultimate good boy. While he is a nice person, Brown is known to fly off the handle when pushed. His flying off the handle is what landed Brown in the doghouse with many fans.

Chris Brown's comeback began last summer at the 2010 BET Awards when he did a tribute to Michael Jackson. Brown has been among the many male R&B singers compared to Jackson. When he cried at the end of the performance, he won the fans back over.

Since this performance, Chris Brown has been back in the good graces of the fans. Now, the Virginia singer is considered to be the bad boy of the R&B game. Recently, this bad boy persona was put to the test when he was seemingly dissed by rapper, Joe Budden.

Over the years, Budden has been known for mouthing off about various topics. At one point, Joey was considered the most-hated rapper in the game. Recently, he said he may have to do a Michael Jackson tribute in order to win over fans. Brown read the comments via Twitter and he replied, blaming Budden for his situation and mocking his 2003 hit, "Pump it Up."

Joe Budden quickly replied and said the comments were not aimed at Brown. Insisting he was a fan, the rapper said the comment was directed at the ignorant fans.

Joe Budden has had his fair share of video vixens throughout his career. Following a split from one, he quickly finds himself in the hands of another woman. Regardless of the woman, each relationship has a bad ending.

Most recently, Joe Budden has been spending time with veteran vixen, Esther Baxter. After breaking up with Somaya Reece, Budden began dating her. Earlier today, Joe Budden announced his split from Baxter.

In the most public way possible, Joe Budden called out his former girlfriend. The New Jersey rapper accused her of trying to play him. Among many derogatory names, Budden compared her to Kat Stacks.

Joe Budden released a series of Twitter statuses calling Baxter out. In one update, Budden asked Baxter how she could sleep with one man while she is pregnant with another man's child. Obviously hurt by the situation, Joe Budden said he will be moving on. The rapper also called Esther Baxter a whore among other dirty names.

As Joe Budden was insulting Esther Baxter, she ended up replying to her ex. Responding to his accusation of having an abortion, Baxter said she does not kill babies, but someone else does. Baxter said she does not care what Budden has to say and accused him of being responsible for them losing their child. Esther Baxter said Joe Budden beat her while she was pregnant, causing her to lose the baby and has pictures for proof.

Not only did Joe Budden vent through Twitter, he also released a freestyle which details the entire relationship with Esther Baxter. In the new song, Joe Budden also tells about his relationship with Tahiry, another video vixen. Budden said Baxter was having sex with NFL player, Derrick Ward, while she was pregnant with his child.

There are no issues between Joe Budden and Derrick Ward. Budden said Ward was cool about everything, saying Baxter told him she left Budden in January. Ward also said he had no idea she was pregnant too.

For years, Tahiry has been behind the scenes, in many of the classic music videos. Tahiry built a reputation as a video vixen in the game. But, in late 2009, Tahiry introduced the world to her business side. Following her breakup from Joe Budden, she was a part of 50 Cent's "Do You Think About Me" video.

Once she starred in 50 Cent's heavily promoted video, Tahiry began making public statements. Joe Budden responded to some of the comments she made. Tahiry starred alongside Budden in several episodes of his JoeBuddenTV. Fabolous soon announced he used to date Tahiry, building more buzz around her.

50 Cent was asked if he would date Tahiry. While admitting she was a sexy woman, 50 Cent said he did not want a girlfriend. It was due to his level of fortune and fame. 50 Cent, at the time, did not trust any female enough to enter a romantic relationship with them. Tahiry did not land 50 Cent, as we know of, but she became a household name.

When "Love & Hip Hop" premiered, Somaya Reece, another ex of Joe Budden's was on the show. Fans who know her history with Tahiry felt it would have made better entertainment if Tahiry was also a part of the show. Tahiry has made it clear she is a businesswoman, unlike the other video vixens. She was not approached by VH1, but if she were, she would turn them down. Recently, Tahiry admitted she does not like reality television because it creates too much drama.

Tahiry feels reality television no longer focuses on the reality, instead the focus is on the conflict.

However, things changed when she actually began filming. Bustamante said she had no idea the show would focus so much on her relationship with Fabolous. She thought the show would focus more on her lifestyle, showing her working and taking care of her son with Fabolous.

Chrissy Lampkin also speaks with Miss Info about her role in the series. She will propose to Jim Jones during the run of the first season. Lampkin also reveals she has issues with Somaya Reece and they existed long before they began doing the show together.
