Three years ago on the eve of the Grammys, Chris Brown’s career nearly ended after his infamous fight with Rihanna. But this Sunday, the singer will make a triumphant return to the stage.

Brown has been officially announced as a performer at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, where he is nominated in three categories including Best R&B Album for F.A.M.E.

The night before the Grammys in 2009, the R&B star and his then-girlfriend got into an altercation while leaving Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party. They both pulled out of their appearances at the show the next day.

Brown experienced a fallout from the incident, but has managed to bounce back with hit singles and albums. This will mark his first time on the Grammy stage since 2008 and the first time the former couple has attended the same awards show since that fateful night.

Rihanna is also set to hit the stage on music’s biggest night. The pop star, who is nominated for four awards including Album of the Year for Loud, will join Coldplay on their collaboration “Princess of China.”

The 54th Annual Grammy Awards will air live from Los Angeles’ Staples Center on February 12. Other performers include Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, Adele, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, and more.

The celebrations were in full swing following Sunday’s Super Bowl. On the West Coast, Rihanna was spotted leaving Greystone Manor nightclub in West Hollywood. Sporting long blonde locks, a sheer bodysuit, ripped jeans, and Chanel cap, the sexy singer made her way through the sea of paparazzi to her waiting car. Her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown and “Take Care” collaborator Drake were also posted up in VIP. “What a crazy night?!!” tweeted RiRi.

During the Super Bowl, a trailer for Battleship aired featuring scenes with RiRi, who plays Navy weapons officer Raikes in the $200 million live-action film.

Chris Brown jumps on the remix to David Banner’s latest single “Yao Ming” aka “Look at My Daddy,” which also features self-proclaimed “pretty boy” A$AP Rocky. “Jungle better be shaved ’cause I ain’t fu**in’ wildlife,” Breezy hysterically raps on his verse. Rap’s new kid on the block, A$AP, proves the hype is real with his bars and Banner still proclaims, “Bitch I’m tall as Yao Ming!” Now that’s a slam dunk.

Chris Brown was back in action, shooting a video for his club anthem “Turn Up the Music” on Wednesday (Feb. 1) in Los Angeles. The R&B superstar performed double duty, co-directing and starring in the dance-heavy clip, which he called his best video yet.

“I’ll let you guys judge but this Turn Up the music video hands down is probably my best video by far!!!” he told Team Breezy.

Several photos from the shoot surfaced online. Breezy was photographed in the passenger seat of a classic car in one scene, standing shirtless on top of a vehicle with his hipster crew in another. Dancers covered their faces with wild masks and hip-hop trio The Rej3ctz made a cameo before the shoot wrapped around 4 a.m. on Thursday.

The electro-dance record, written and produced by The Underdogs and Fuego, serves as the second single from Chris’ fifth album Fortune, due this spring.

Sammie is all grown up. The former child star, now 24, tackles Chris Brown’s “Strip,” putting his spin on the risqué single with his cover.

“cover’s allow me to show my diversity…2 more then i’m dropping NEW music of my own. eff fame and fortune. #teamtalent has to stand up!” tweeted the R&B singer, who defended himself on Twitter. “im not dissing any1… i support C.BREEZY (GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF OUR TIME), TREY SONGZ, TANK, USHER, and many more.”

Sammie has music of his own on the way, with his third album Coming of Age due later this year on Interscope Records.

Chris Brown topped the charts with Busta Rhymes on the Grammy-nominated “Look at Me Now.” Now Breezy returns the favor, guesting on Bussa Buss’ new single “Why Stop Now.” The Cash Money signee performs lyrical acrobatics, while Breezy shows off his Matrix moves in the off-the-wall video, directed by Hype Williams.

“That interaction has always been the primary source of why our chemistry has always been so special,” Busta said of working with the famed director. “He wouldn’t give Kanye West a fish-eye lens, he won’t give Jay-Z a fish-eye lens. That’s my shit. He knew that that was the most perfect thing to use for me when we first worked together because of the dynamic of my animation.”

Buckle up for the wild ride.

Google Music takes you behind the scenes of Busta Rhymes’ video for “Why Stop Now” featuring Chris Brown. The full video, directed by Hype Williams, will premiere online Monday at 3 p.m. EST.

Chris Brown cranks the volume on “Turn Up the Music,” the second single from his fifth album Fortune, due this spring. The party anthem, written and produced by The Underdogs and Fuego, boasts a throbbing electro-house beat and an undeniable hook.

“If you sexy and you know it, put your hands up in the air,” chants Breezy over the synth-heavy production, which is bound to become the soundtrack for clubgoers everywhere.

Does Chris have another hit on his hands? Sound off below.

“106 & Park” dedicated Monday’s show to Mr. “106 & Park” himself, Bow Wow. Some of his peers and friends in the industry including Chris Brown, Snoop Dogg, and Jermaine Dupri took a trip down memory lane with the Cash Money rapper during the episode.

His mentor J.D., who made on on-air appearance, recounted the first time he saw Bow rapping on stage when he was known as Lil Gangsta, and Snoop shared why he gave him his name. “He was named Lil Bow Wow because his spirit was just like mine,” explained Snoop in a videotaped message. “He was like the equivalent of me. I didn’t have no kids at the time, so to me, he embellished everything that I imagined my son would be.”

Chris Brown recalled meeting his BFF on the “Scream” tour six years ago. “[He's] one of the only people I can consider my friend in the industry… He’s a real person,” said Chris. “He deals with day-to-day problems just like me. Me and him have more of an understanding of life from being normal and in the spotlight. We can indentify with having to deal with those types of pressures. I think we gon’ be boys for a long time.”

The man of the hour got plenty of camera time and spoke about his upcoming album Underrated, which features Wiz Khalifa, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Jadakiss, Musiq Soulchild, and Boyz II Men. “I just feel like I’ve accomplished a lot in my career, but still people might overlook it or if they forgot, then I think it’s time for me to remind them of who really was the first person since Kriss Kross to rejuvenize this whole thing.”

Chris Brown is sharing his Fortune with a hip-hop legend. The singer revealed that Nas will appear on his upcoming album.

“NAS ft on the album!!! In studio right now workin!!! Amazing!” tweeted Breezy, to which Nas responded, “My little brotha! Peace! Good times!”

Chris’ fifth album, the follow-up to 2011’s Grammy-nominated F.A.M.E., has already produced a video for the Kevin McCall-assisted single “Strip.” He recently shot the album packaging and is in the final stages of recording. He has been in the studio with Asher Roth, Wiz Khalifa, Kid Sister, and will.i.am, among others.

Nas is also working on a new album for Def Jam, due later this year.
