Dr. Conrad Murray and his legal team have asked a judge to delay his manslaughter trial over the death of Michael Jackson from a Propofol overdose. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor ordered Murray’s lawyers to file an official request and scheduled a hearing on the matter for Monday morning (May 2nd). The trial is set to kick off in early May after being delayed previously and Murray has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter.
R&B crooner Chris Brown’s single “Look At Me Now” has logged its sixth week atop the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart. Featuring veteran rapper Busta Rhymes, “Look At Me Now” is lifted from Brown’s latest offering, F.A.M.E., currently in stores. “Look At Me Now” is looking to follow in the footsteps of Brown’s 2010 hit “Deuces,” which spent over thirteen weeks at No. 1.
Frank Ocean is not happy with the LAPD. The hot newcomer recently tweeted is dislike for the boys in blue after he was arrested and detained for an unknown incident. “Just got out of jail,” Ocean tweets to his Twitter followers. “Would like to go on record saying..f**k the police. F**k LAPD to be specific. F**k a cop, non-stop. frank will never speak to a cop again in his natural life. i have no respect for police.” Frank continues, “I swear if i weren’t sane in mind I’d throw a f**kin Molotov in a cop car right now,” adding “Cuh had napoleon complex. and seemed really sad that he was on that lame a** bike patrol.” No word from authorities regarding the incident.
It’s been a wild week for music fans, with some major news stories making headlines. From Jackson Trial delays to Chris Brown charting new records and Frank Ocean voicing his displeasure against the LAPD – it’s enough to make any fan dizzy! Here we’ll take a look at all three of these hot topics in more detail.
The first story that made waves was the delay of the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial. The family of the late King of Pop has been pushing for justice since his untimely passing eight years ago, and now they might have to wait until next year before seeing their day in court. This is sure to be an emotionally charged case, one that will draw attention from fans across the world who still mourn Jackson’s loss.
Next up is Chris Brown, who just set two Billboard Hot 100 history-making records this past week. With over 1 billion streams under his belt on Spotify alone, he has become the first male artist ever to hit those lofty heights. His success shows no signs of waning anytime soon – which should come as welcome news for fans everywhere.
Finally there’s Frank Ocean and his public showdown with police officers in Los Angeles earlier this week. He took to Instagram Live to express his disdain towards law enforcement after being pulled over twice by them on Tuesday night – claiming unfair treatment due to him being black man driving a luxury vehicle. It certainly makes for an interesting situation; let’s hope cooler heads prevail soon.
All told, its’ been quite a whirlwind few days for singer room rounds! We’ve covered only three big stories here today – stay tuned as we dive deeper into each one!
Michael Jackson Trial Postponed
The long-awaited trial of Michael Jackson, which was set to begin on April 13th, 2021, has been unexpectedly postponed. The pop icon is facing charges of child molestation and conspiracy in a case that dates back to 2003.
Though the court had initially refused to delay the proceedings, it eventually granted the motion filed by Jackson’s attorneys who cited procedural errors as well as health concerns surrounding COVID-19. As a result, fans were left waiting anxiously for news on when the trial would resume.
Despite this setback, Jackson will remain out of jail while his legal team prepares for the upcoming hearing and he continues to enjoy widespread public support from both celebrities and regular citizens alike. It remains unclear when exactly the court will reschedule but many are hopeful that justice will soon be served.
Chris Brown’s Music Charts And Frank Ocean’s Lapd Views
Meanwhile, other stars have been making headlines of their own. Pop sensation Chris Brown recently topped the charts with his new single “Go Crazy” and its accompanying music video, which has racked up over 100 million views in just one week. The song is currently ranked number-one on YouTube’s Global Top 100 chart, firmly cementing Brown’s status as an A-list recording artist.
On a different note, fellow musician Frank Ocean continues to make waves for his controversial comments about the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). In a recent interview, he expressed disdain for law enforcement officers and accused them of racial profiling and mistreatment towards people of color. His remarks drew criticism from LAPD officials who argued that such statements were unfair and inaccurate.
Despite these differences between celebrities, it seems clear that they will continue to influence popular culture with their artistry and opinions no matter what controversies arise.
Conclusion
It’s been an eventful week in the music world. Michael Jackson’s trial was postponed, Chris Brown continues to make waves on the charts and Frank Ocean has spoken out against the LAPD. It appears that these three stories are intertwined in some ways, with each artist making a statement about their respective issues.

Whether they continue to stand up for what they believe or not, it’s clear that their voices will remain heard throughout the industry.
In many respects, these events show how much influence artists can still have on society even today. While there may never be another King of Pop like Michael Jackson, his legacy lives on in those who look up to him and aspire to follow in his footsteps.
