Dupri Parties With a Bullet

Jermaine DupriJermaine Dupri is speaking out about the shooting that took place at the party he hosted in Atlanta, saying, "I'm sad this incident happened because it interrupted a beautiful and loving party. I'm happy none of my people or friends got hurt. And the party continues."

Because why should a small thing like someone getting shot ruin a perfectly good weekend?

This isn't the first time Jermaine has been associated with a club brawl. Back in October 2007 his good friend and fellow rapper Da Brat was arrested for allegedly assaulting a waitress in a nightclub that Dupri owned.

Another incident in 1995 turned deadly when a close friend of Suge Knight was shot and killed following a party Dupri held in Atlanta.

17. It's so odd that whenever there is a story about black people on TMZ people start making all kinds of racist remarks about how ALL blacks are this way. And now even attributing the acts of misbehaving blacj celebs to Barack Obama with a straight face. Yet most of TMZ's posts are about white people and you don't get anything about how all white people are like Britney, Lindsey, Paris. I like this though. It reminds me when I go to work that no matter how civil my white coworkers are or how hard I work, the fact is most of them view me as a savage. Celebs of all races misbehave. Why black celebs represent the whole race to narrow minded white people is beyond me. I can assure you that I don't live like any celeb that you see on TMZ. For every ignorant, overaged party til they drop black celeb you read about there are 100 others who never turn up on TMZ because they are home with their families living like normal people.

20. #17, punkbitch....I guess you never heard of Idi Amin, the Rwandan genocide, Dafur genocide...or the multitudes of other black African leaders destroying their nations with civil war and genocide, as has been going of for hundreds...THOUSANDS of years on the dark continent! Are you going to blame that behavior on USA slavery? Your dumb ass ancestors SOLD their brothers to the white man.

Listen, the world is a horrible place with atrocities committed by people of all races (silly, there is really only one race). S get off your crying game, you never hear of white celebs getting together and having shootings taking place. This is not an unheard of incident in the black music industry...it is not suprising nor is it unheard of.

21. What does he mean "his people?" Sounds to me like, if someone was white, he wouldn't have cared, but as long as his Black friends were ok, than it's cool.

22. Racism is more alive now than ever before in the history of mankind. It is in every basic conversation....it's in every divorce...it's in every cartoon our children watch. "Dora speaking spanish????" I want my child learning english first....not spanish". Nice try mexicans. It's not going to work. It's in our neighborhoods, our churches, our friends, families, etc. This will never end. EVER! Until the THUGS (Yes I mean Thugs as in these black rappers who trash women, glorify material things for their own insecurities. When was the last time you have seen a while guy glorify any type of material thing? What is the point? It all comes down to insecurity. If they were secure with themselves, they would not have to show off cars, watches, hot tubs, game rooms, theaters....Tthey "rent" these things because it's all loans from the bank. They own nothing. There are thousands upon thousands of black americans who are doing very well for themselves and present their race in a respectable and honorable manner. So don't use race as an issue as not being able to find a job......move on and stop whining.

23. Let's not blame the celebrities here. Let's put the TOTAL blame on the club owners who have as much business operating a club than a day care provider does performing heart surgery. One know as "Atlanta Live" and now known as "Atlanta Dead" the radio station stooge and his unhirable dumb-ass son are most the reason. I know these artists and they have too much too loose to be responsible for this crap. Total 100% blame goes to the radiuo station moron and his idiot son!
