The-Dream Divorced Christina Milian During Her Pregnancy
New details in The-Dream’s split from Christina Milian have been uncovered. Documents reveal that the hitmaker sought a divorce nine days before his wife gave birth to their daughter.

The “Single Ladies” songwriter announced his separation from Milian earlier this month, saying they had been separated since last year. “The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter Violet,” his rep told UsMagazine.com. “They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward.”
Milian and The-Dream wed on September 4, 2009, and welcomed their only child Violet on February 26. Despite the break up, Milian has been seen wearing her wedding ring in public.

Eminem Goes Platinum with ‘Recovery,’ The-Dream Debuts in Top 5
In a day and age when artists can barely go gold, Eminem’s latest album has already been certified platinum in two weeks.Recovery, the rapper’s seventh studio LP, tops the Billboard 200 albums chart for a second straight week selling 313,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album’s sales total 1.1 million copies in the U.S. since its release two weeks ago.
Drake claims the runner-up position as his debut album Thank Me Later comfortably sits at No. 2 in its third week with 105,000 units sold, down 33% from the previous week.
The-Dream’s Love King opens at No. 4 with 58,000. Despite being the final album in his Love trilogy, it sold less in its first week than its predecessors, 2009’s Love vs. Money (No. 2, 151,000) and 2007’s Lovehate (No. 30, 59,000).
On the Digital Songs chart, Eminem and Rihanna’s “Love the Way You Lie” holds strong at No. 1 for a second week with 280,000 downloads, while Kanye West’s new single “Power” debuts at No. 14 with 80,000.

The-Dream's "Love King" Projected To Sell 60K In First-Week
R&B singer The-Dream's Love King is reportedly en route to sell around 60,000 copies in its first-week on store shelves.
According to one-day estimates, Eminem's Recovery will once again top the charts.
The Eminem-fueled record business Recovery lasted about a week, as we head into the summer months, when the industry repairs to the Hamptons or Malibu. The comebacking hip-hop titan is a lock to repeat at #1 after selling a year's-best 740k as no debut this week comes close to six digits. Based on figures from those one-day music retailers who haven't opened up eBay franchises, Def Jam/IDJ's The-Dream will be the top newcomer on next Tuesday's chart, with a total in the 55-60k range.
Dream recently said he would quit making albums because of fans' lack of appreciation.
"Nope, there's not another album, this is it," Dream said in an interview with Ms. Drama in May. "Nobody appreciates music so I'm out. I'm out. I'm good, so take that. Like Jay said, maybe y'all will remember me when I fade to black. So it's out."
Last April, Dream contemplated making another album called Love/Affair.
Dream also addressed rumors of a fourth record in the works that sprang after he tweeted on March 27, "Love/Affair?" "We was having a conversation in the studio, about how if I would do another album, I would name it Love/Affair. Funny thing is, my computer was open and someone else typed it in. They put it in with a question mark and I was like 'Why did you do that? They're going to think it was me,'" he says. "I would have a big chance of wanting to do one if I was able to turn it into a movie like Purple Rain. Nobody wants to see someone do another album just lyrically based. When I'm telling a story, I'd much rather have someone see it," he says. "But I don't even know if I'm going to do Love/Affair. If I can do the movie then Love/Affair would be the soundtrack to that movie."
Despite not receiving a Grammy nomination this year, Dream's sophomore album debuted within Billboard's Top 5 in spring 2009.
Love vs. Money debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, selling 151,000 copies in its first week. It also entered at number one on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and at number three on its Top Digital Albums chart in March 2009. In its second week, the album fell two positions to number four on the Billboard 200 with 56,000 copies sold. In its third week, the album fell nine spots and sold an additional 35,967 copies, and in its fourth week, it fell to number 19 and sold 27,972 more copies. Love vs. Money spent a total of 17 weeks on Billboard 200 chart. By May 2009, it had sold 331,000 copies in the United States, according to SoundScan.

The-Dream "Loves" Kanye West, "He's Literally The Only Person That Challenges Me"
Grammy-nominated singer The-Dream recently revealed his admiration for his Def Jam label mate Kanye West and said that he is his biggest competition.
Dream believes West gives him the most challenges as an artist.
"I love Kanye. He's literally the only person that challenges me. He has an overwhelming love for music also, and that's why he's misunderstood. The boy is a genius. You can be mad all you want, but he loves what you listen to more than you love it. When he lost his mom I cried."
Last year, Dream addressed rumors of creating an upcoming duet album with West.
"It was first thought of by me," Dream said in an interview. "I was in Miami at the time, and I gave Kanye a call and said, 'The best thing would be for me and you to do an album.' I feel he's at a certain place in hip-hop, I'm at a certain place in R&B, and lyrically, I'm just in a certain place in my lifetime. Let's take the best of both worlds and put it on a CD and try to make something we can sell to the consumers. He says he's with it. We're gonna try to make it happen. I told him, 'Let me lift my profile up a little bit.'...It wouldn't take that long at all, once we got the concept."
Dream recently explained why he has decided to retire from music.
"Nope, there's not another album, this is it," Dream said in an interview with Ms. Drama. "Nobody appreciates music so I'm out. I'm out. I'm good, so take that. Like [Jay-Z] said, maybe y'all will remember me when I fade to black. So it's out."

The-Dream Is All For Christina Millian Going Nude, "It's All Artistic Expression"
R&B singer The-Dream has said he would not mind if his wife/singer, Christina Millian, wanted to perform a nude artistic video like Erykah Badu's controversial "Window Seat."
According to Dream, people tend to be insecure about anything outside of the norm.
"I'd be like 'Go ahead,'" Dream said referring to his approval. "It's all artistic expression. If we lived in Africa, our a**es would be out all the time. We're conditioned people, so our minds are in such a crazy position. Someone told will.i.am on the radio, 'Man you curse on your records. I can't take my kids to your concert.' And he was like, 'What you talking 'bout? Everybody curse.' Which I thought was funny because, yeah you could bleep it out, but all you're saying is you know it's bad and you're just trying to hide the word, when everyone knows what it is."
Dream and Millian recently welcomed a newborn baby into their lives.
Christina Milian has something to sing about. The actress-singer delivered her first child with husband The-Dream on Feb. 26, People.com reports. Baby Violet will be the fourth child for The-Dream, 31, who already has three kids with his ex-wife.
Dream compared his upcoming music retirement to former NBA superstar Michael Jordan's back in 2003 last month.
"It's the last album, period," he said in an interview. "I really would like it to be the last one if I could -- in a perfect world...In the back of my mind, I'm thinking a fighter fights. You don't retire on top. [Michael] Jordan didn't retire on top. I'm not saying I'm the best [like him], but I'm the best at what I can do. And I can stop now and say, 'This album is pretty good.'"
Last January, Dream said his new album outmatches his previous efforts.
"LoveKing is the best of the Three albums And Its FINISHED!," he wrote regarding his final album, Saturday (January 16) morning. "Pre-Order and buy from a brand you can Trust! Radiokilla Records."

The-Dream Clarifies "Retirement" Confusion, Says 4th Album Not Confirmed
Grammy-nominated singer The-Dream has closed the doors on retirement rumors and said certain standards would be required for him to consider recording a fourth solo album.
The R&B hitmaker also addressed a recent Twitter message from his account that sparked rumors of a fourth effort.
Dream also addressed rumors of a fourth record in the works that sprang after he tweeted on March 27, "Love/Affair?"

Over the summer, he detailed why a third solo project would be his final.
"I'm almost finished with Love/King," Dream revealed in an interview. "It's the third album and my final album, actually. I'm not doing an album after that. I've accomplished what I've accomplished. I feel like I'd rather kill The-Dream than somebody else kill me. So that's the big headline there, killing The-Dream...It's over with, so nobody has to worry about 'Has he lost it,' 'When's it gonna drop,' 'Where's it at.' I'm giving you the last record 'cause I said it was the last record before you telling me which one is the last record. I'll just tell you."

T.I. Is "In The Zone" Says The-Dream, "He's Rapping Like He's In Space"
R&B singer The-Dream has talked about T.I.'s rapping skills and said the Grand Hustle leader is "in the zone."
According to Dream, T.I.'s passion is evident in his new music.
"Tip is in a zone, man," Dream said in an interview. "He's in one of those things. But me just being a lyric guy, what makes songs, I think, hits is when it comes from the heart and you really are saying something you mean. And you can feel it through the passion. Every record he played me, I was like, 'Wow.' I could just feel it. It wasn't about judging it. It wasn't about, 'Is this a single or is this that?' It was just, 'Wow, where have you been? Where'd you go?' It was just elevated, and he's elevated. Right now, he's rapping like he's in space. Not a place we don't know -- it's in the same area -- but his vibe is just wider now."
The rapper recently promised "aggressive" content on his upcoming solo album.
"I'm happy to be home," T.I. said in a video. "I learned a lot, grew a lot and now I think it's time to put all that to good use. I didn't write too much, people might thought I was doing a lot of writing but I didn't write that much, you know. I didn't get a lot of time to. It was a lot of activity around me so I wasn't really motivated to create. I just want to continue to maintain the level of success I've been fortunate to do over and over again over the years. Well, this album is different in many ways. I think that Paper Trail was a lot more about thoughts and this is more about feelings. And this is significantly more aggressive, at this point in the production. Who knows, I could do ten love songs tomorrow and change the direction but as of right now, it's going hard. It's going hard like classic T.I."
The rapper was released from a halfway house under restrictions in late March.
T.I.'s attorney, Steve Sadow, tells TMZ the rapper -- who's been serving the last 30 days of his sentence under house arrest -- will officially be done today. T.I. will now be placed under 23 days of supervised release ... which means he'll have to be home by 11 PM unless he's performing, when he'll have to be in by 1 AM. The rapper -- real name Clifford Harris -- will also have to complete 400 hours of community service and will be on probation for three years.
Last month, Tip said there were plans to drop his next album in the summer.
"I really do appreciate the support and how hard y'all was going in during the brief hiatus," T.I. said during a conference all. "The support don't go unnoticed and I don't take it lightly. This marks a special day for us, because we putting out the first song off the album, not an official first single, just something to keep the streets warm. It's properly entitled 'I'm Back.' It's a lot of things that needed to be spoken on, you know. In my absence, it was a lot of things that went down, a lot of matters that needed to be addressed and this was the greatest platform for me to do it...Album drops August 24th, title? I got one but I ain't gonna say it yet. It was the first song I did when I came home. You get me fresh out the box going in. I'm sure you guys will enjoy it...Middle of April, beginning of May. Y'all gonna start seeing me. Y'all already know, once again it's on. Like we always do this time."
