Pleasure P And Bria In MIA
Check out Pleasure P and Bria Murphy, Eddie and Nicole Murphy’s first-born child, all boo’d up in Miami Beach over the weekend.

Shyne On Diddy, Moving On
Shyne speaks on Diddy (aka his “co-defendant”), accepting responsibility, and moving on after serving time during a visit with a group of inmates in Belize:
