The Lowdown For July 1, 2010

Lloyd Clarifies His Statements About Chris Brown’s Performance
Lloyd has cleared up his comments regarding Chris Brown's performance on Sunday night's BET Awards. After a video surfaced after CB’s performance of Lloyd saying that he'd told Brown to cry, Lloyd released a statement saying, "I consider Chris a friend. He's been through a lot in the past couple years. I never told him to go on stage and cry. We spoke recently, and I told him as a friend that people hadn't really seen him be vulnerable about his situation last year [with Rihanna]. I thought he was holding back and needed to let that emotion out. Him crying at the BET Awards was real, I could feel it."

And real quick shameless plug: Lloyd will be at Summer Fest, along with Mystikal, Dorrough, and J. Cole…with more to be announced!

Jermaine Says Michael Would Not Be Happy About His Kids
Jermaine Jackson believes that his late brother Michael would not be happy if he knew about the new freedom his three kids have. Michael always wanted Prince, Paris and Blanket to stay out of the public eye, but now that they live with Katherine, they no longer wear veils in public and will even be attending school. "A lot of things he wouldn't like," Jermaine said to Hello! magazine. "He didn't want them to be all over the media, he wanted them to have a normal life, and it was hard with him so famous." However, Jermaine does believe that the changes are for the better. "They have to fit into society at some point, to become citizens... They're going to go to a private school with other kids and know what it's like to have a friend. Absolutely. It's the best for them."
