El príncipe Harry ha estado librando una guerra con el gobierno británico luego de que retiraran su seguridad, que es financiada con fondos públicos del Reino Unido, pero ahora un juez está entregando un veredicto sobre el asunto.

El caso se ha prolongado desde 2022 y el Tribunal Superior de Londres finalmente falló el miércoles a favor del Ministerio del Interior después de que el Príncipe Harry intentara anular una decisión que rebajó su nivel de protección en el Reino Unido.

Recuerden, cuando él y su esposa Meghan Markle renunciaron a sus puestos reales, los abrigos rojos les dieron la espalda también y revocaron la seguridad de alto nivel que se puede permitir un miembro de la realeza que trabaja a tiempo completo normalmente. Harry lo denunció y presentó una demanda.

Como hemos dicho, esto fue hace mucho tiempo, pero finalmente se llegó a una conclusión y el Duque se va con un juez de Los Ángeles, sabiendo que no hay nada ilegal o injusto en la decisión alcanzada en favor del Ministerio del Interior.

No parece haber muchos detalles en términos de los motivos. Todo lo que el juez al parecer dijo en los documentos fue que este movimiento era razonable y legal y que una alternativa para Harry es contar con seguridad a medida, menos formal cuando esté en el Reino Unido.

Eso sí, Harry ya había perdido otra batalla legal en este frente de seguridad. Allí había tratado de argumentar que él debería ser capaz de pagar por seguridad de alto nivel de la policía, pero también fue rechazada.

10:41 AM PT -- A spokesperson for Prince Harry announced he will appeal this decision.

Prince Harry has been waging war with the British government over the fact they yanked his publicly-funded security in the UK ... but a judge flipped him the bird once and for all.

A decision was made in the drawn-out case that's been going on since 2022 -- with the London High Court ruling Wednesday in favor of the Home Office after PH had attempted to overturn a decision made that downgraded his level of protection across the pond.

Remember ... when he and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down from their Royal posts -- the red coats turned their back on them too -- revoking top-level police officer security details a full-time working Royal might normally be afforded. Harry cried foul and sued over this.

Like we said, this has been going on for a long time ... but it's finally reached its conclusion -- and the Duke's walking away with an L.A. judge saying there was nothing unlawful or unfair about the way this conclusion was reached by the Home Office.

There doesn't seem to be much detail in terms of the rationale here -- all the judge reportedly said in the docs was that this move was reasonable and legal ... and that the alternative for Harry -- a tailored, less formal security detail if/when he's in the UK -- is also appropriate.

Mind you, Harry had already lost another battle on this security front -- he had tried arguing that he should be able to pay for high-level cop security ... but he got turned down there too.

Harry's whole gripe boiled down to him feeling like his family wasn't safe in the UK if they couldn't get the royal treatment in terms of security -- and now, it sounds like the government and the High Court are flatly telling him ... you're not a Royal anymore, bro. Deal with it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Don Lemon was handsomely compensated after being fired from CNN last year -- in fact, it's almost as if he never left ... 'cause the dude's definitely getting paid like it, per a new report.

According to the Wrap, the former CNN anchor finally reached a deal with his former bosses at the cable news network to finalize his separation from the company -- this after he was canned almost a full year ago.

Apparently, they'd been working out the details of his exit package -- and now, word is they finally landed on a number ... which is astronomical. The Wrap says he got $24.5 million.

What's astonishing about that figure is that, per the outlet, this amount of cash is exactly what he would've been paid if he'd been allowed to stay there and finish out his contract -- which they say had another 3.5 half years left on it before his ousting in April.

In other words, he got his full contract's worth of money ... so good on his negotiating team.

Weirdly enough, though, CNN is actually pushing back on the number ... telling People the report of his massive payout is "incorrect." With that said, they didn't elaborate beyond that.

In any case ... it sounds like Don's walking away from this saga a happy camper. Yes, he's no longer on TV -- but he's moved on over to X for a new show, similar to Tucker Carlson.

While he was fuming after getting the boot at CNN, Don ended up with the last laugh ... the guy who fired him, Chris Licht, ended up being shown the door as well not long after. Meanwhile, Don's millions of dollars richer ... and he's in the free speech space now.

Una atracción de Willy Wonka en el Reino Unido resultó ser una total decepción para las familias que pensaban que visitarían la intrincada fábrica de chocolate de su icónico personaje, y las fotos del lugar son reveladoras.

A las familias se les prometió una "deliciosa" fuente de chocolate y "caprichosos" Oompa Loompas en "Willy's Chocolate Experience" en Glasgow, Escocia, pero terminaron en un lugar relativamente vacío, donde fueron recibidos con una triste vista. ¡Echa un vistazo!

Las fotos de la "fábrica" han estado circulando en línea y casi todos están de acuerdo en que esta supuesta experiencia fue totalmente sobre vendida y eso es lo que sienten los padres también.

Como se puede ver, el lugar donde supuestamente iban a pasar un rato increíble no tenía mucho: solo un arco iris inflable, un castillo hinchable solitario, algunas otras decoraciones dispersas alrededor y algunos actores desaliñados por el lugar.

Echa un vistazo a esta foto de uno de los Oompa Loompas contratados para actuar en esta atracción: es una imagen triste. Según algunos informes, los miembros del reparto recibieron guiones la noche anterior y tuvieron que improvisar sobre la marcha.

Uno de los padres, Aileen Butcher, calificó la debacle de "vergüenza absoluta" y declaró al Daily Record que se tardaron un minuto en recorrer la atracción, que también incluía una mesa llena de gominolas. Según se informa, las entradas costaron alrededor de $35.

Otro padre, Stuart Sinclair, contó todo en Facebook, explicando que viajó dos horas solo para que sus hijos se fueran con dos míseras gominolas y un cuarto de una lata de limonada Barr.

Al parecer, se montó un buen numerito en la supuesta fábrica de chocolate. Los actores se pusieron en pie de guerra, al igual que los padres, muchos de los cuales se enfrentaron al propietario y exigieron que les devolvieran el dinero. Al parecer, incluso tuvo que intervenir la policía para calmar los ánimos.

Desde entonces, los organizadores de esta experiencia, House of Illuminati, han pedido disculpas por el "estresante y frustrante" día.

A Willy Wonka pop-up attraction in the UK turned out to be underwhelming for families who thought they'd be going through an intricate chocolate factory -- and the pics are wild.

Get this ... families who were promised a "delectable" chocolate fountain and "whimsical" Oompa Loompas at 'Willy's Chocolate Experience' in Glasgow, Scotland ended up in a relatively empty warehouse where they were greeted with a sad sight -- just take a look.

Photos of the "factory" have been circulating online -- and most everyone agrees ... this so-called recreated experience was definitely oversold, and that's how parents feel as well.

As you can see ... the space where people were told they'd be treated to an awesome time was scant and pretty bare -- with an inflatable rainbow, a lonely bouncy castle, and a few other half-hearted decorations scattered about, and some frumpy actors on hand too.

Check out this photo of one of the Oompa Loompas hired to role-play for this attraction -- it's a sad sight. Reports have surfaced claiming the cast members were handed scripts the night before, and then told to improvise on the spot.

One parent, Aileen Butcher, called the whole debacle an "absolute disgrace" ... telling the Daily Record it took all of one minute to walk through this thing, which also included a lone table strewn with jelly beans. The tickets were reportedly about $35 a pop.

Another parent, Stuart Sinclair, spilled all the beans on FB ... explaining he traveled two hours for the event, only for his kids to walk away with two measly jelly babies and a quarter of a can of Barr limeade.

It was apparently quite a scene in the would-be chocolate factory ... actors were reportedly up in arms, as were the parents ... many of whom confronted the owner and demanded refunds. Cops reportedly even had to get involved in all this to settle everyone down.

Organizers House of Illuminati have since apologized for the "stressful and frustrating day."

Tragic new video shows the moment a mother and daughter leaving a Drake concert were killed by a car running a red light -- and you can see just how fast this person was driving.

The dramatic footage shows Laticha Bracero and her adult daughter, 21-year-old Alyssa Cordova, walking through a crosswalk on early Feb. 14 -- right after Drake's concert in St. Louis -- when, suddenly, a car comes flying into frame, blowing through a red light and sideswiping another car before running them over.

It all happens in a flash -- and we've stopped the video to avoid showing the gruesome moment of impact -- but make no mistake ... Bracero and Cordova were obliterated.

Obviously, the fatal incident is absolutely horrific -- and worse yet, it happened a few blocks away from the Enterprise Center in downtown St. Louis, where the women had just left a Drake show ... the 2nd night of his two-show performances there in town.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department says the mother died at the scene and her daughter later died at a hospital.

Cops also claim the alleged driver, 22-year-old Monte Henderson, was running red lights for several blocks and speeding in a Jeep Cherokee before running over the women and injuring several other pedestrians. They ended up finding him and arresting him shortly after this.

Henderson's been charged with two counts each of armed criminal action and involuntary manslaughter. Cops say he was speeding at over 70 MPH -- it's unclear why he might've been driving that fast ... but in any case, he has reportedly since bonded out of jail.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch ... a judge overseeing his case denied a request from prosecutors to keep him locked up -- with them arguing he's a danger to the community -- and allowed to be freed on a $20,000 bail. He has since been released from custody.

The mother and daughter apparently weren't even from St. Louis -- word is, they'd traveled into town from Chicago just to catch Drizzy in person. A GoFundMe to help pay for funeral arrangements and other costs has been started in their name.

Un nuevo y trágico video muestra el momento en que una madre y su hija -que salían de un concierto de Drake- mueren atropelladas por un carro que se salta un semáforo en rojo, y se puede ver a qué iba muy rápido.

Las dramáticas imágenes muestran a Laticha Bracero y su hija de 21 años de edad, Alyssa Cordova, caminando por un paso de peatones a principios del 14 de febrero -justo después del concierto de Drake en St. Louis- cuando, de repente, un carro viene volando pasándose una luz roja y les quita la vida

Todo sucede en un instante y hemos cortado el video para evitar mostrar el horrible momento del impacto, pero no se equivoquen, Bracero y Cordova fueron brutalmente golpeadas.

Obviamente, el incidente fatal es absolutamente horrible y lo que es peor, ocurrió a pocas cuadras del Enterprise Center en el centro de St. Louis, donde las mujeres acababan de salir de un espectáculo de Drake, la segunda noche de sus dos espectáculos allí en la ciudad.

El Departamento de Policía Metropolitana de St. Louis dice que la madre murió en la escena y su hija murió más tarde en un hospital.

Los policías también afirman que el presunto conductor, Monte Henderson, de 22 años, se saltó semáforos en rojo durante varias manzanas y circulaba a gran velocidad en un Jeep Cherokee antes de atropellar a las mujeres y herir a varios peatones más. Acabaron encontrándolo y arrestándolo poco después.

Henderson ha sido acusado de dos cargos, cada uno de acción criminal armada y homicidio involuntario. Los policías dicen que iba a más de 70 MPH y no está claro por qué podría haber estado conduciendo tan rápido, pero en cualquier caso, según los informes, pero en cualquier caso, al parecer ya ha salido de la cárcel.

De acuerdo con el St. Louis Post-Dispatch, un juez que supervisa su caso denegó una solicitud de los fiscales para mantenerlo encerrado. Argumentan que es un peligro para la comunidad y le permitieron ser liberado bajo fianza de $20.000. Desde entonces ha sido puesto en libertad.

La madre y la hija al parecer ni siquiera eran de St. Louis, se dice que habían viajado a la ciudad desde Chicago solo para ver a Drizzy en persona. Un GoFundMe para ayudar a pagar los arreglos funerarios y otros gastos se ha iniciado en su nombre.

The Air Force member who set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in D.C. in protest against Israel has died ... and video of the horrific incident has now surfaced.

Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old from San Antonio, was identified by the Metropolitan Police Department as the man who set himself ablaze Sunday ... and he actually live streamed the whole thing himself on Twitch just before 1 PM ET, which you can watch here -- but brace yourself, it's harrowing, to say the least.

It's a chilling image ... you can see Bushnell casually walking up to the gates of the Israeli Embassy, talking straight to the camera, saying he won't be complicit in genocide anymore. He adds how whatever protest he's about to engage in is nothing compared to what Palestinians have been going through at the hands of their colonizers.

He then positions his camera on the ground, douses himself in accelerant, and ignites the flames ... all while yelling, "Free Palestine!!"

Bushnell was extinguished by the United States Secret Service and was rushed to the hospital with his life-threatening injuries -- and we all now know he didn't make it.

The Air Force said in a statement Monday: "The individual involved in yesterday's incident succumbed to his injuries and passed away last night."

On top of everything else, the Metropolitan Police Department's bomb squad got called in to check out a suspicious vehicle in the area. Thankfully, they determined that the vehicle didn't contain any hazardous material.

The massive protest against the conflict between Israel and Hamas kicked off when Hamas agents attacked a music festival -- killing hundreds and taking more hostage on October 7, 2023.

Lamar Odom has taken the reins of a New Mexico rehab facility ... and he's ready to give it some serious TLC to help those hit hard by the drug crisis.

The former athlete's manager tells TMZ ... the previous owner left the property to New Mexico Pastor Anthony Torres, with hopes of opening a treatment center. But when the pastor hit a roadblock with funding, he turned to Lamar, knowing he'd been involved in opening up rehab centers himself.

Lamar checked out the property -- which sits on an acre of land -- and the pastor decided to gift it to him with the intention of using it as a sanctuary for people battling fentanyl addiction.

We're told the property, once owned by the American Legion, is getting a whole new lease on life under Lamar's Odom Recovery Group.

Of course, Lamar's already made a considerable impact across different communities with his network of addiction treatment facilities. From Restoration Recovery in Sacramento to Compassions in Laguna Hills ... from Inner Minds Health in San Bernardino to Vanity Wellness Center in Woodland Hills ... he's covering some serious ground.

Lamar's not just stopping at addiction treatment -- he's also keeping busy in the dentistry world with his new venture, Oxy Dental.

Wendy Williams is speaking out on her recent health diagnoses -- and while she's grateful for the love and support she's been getting ... she isn't addressing the elephant in the room.

The former talk show host -- who's been out of the spotlight for a couple years now as she's dealt with private issues -- issued a statement Friday that touched on the fact that her team says she's now afflicted with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.

Wendy says, "I want to say I have immense gratitude for the love and kind words I have received after sharing my diagnosis of Aphasia and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). Let me say, wow!  Your response has been overwhelming."

She adds, "The messages shared with me have touched me, reminding me of the power of unity and the need for compassion. I hope that others with FTD may benefit from my story. I want to also thank the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration for their kind words of support and their extraordinary efforts to raise awareness of FTD."

Wendy finally finishes with this ... "I continue to need personal space and peace to thrive.  Please just know that your positivity and encouragement are deeply appreciated."

It's good to hear from Wendy directly, of course ... but the one thing people really wanna know about her right now is -- where exactly is she, and how is she holding up???

The documentary from Lifetime that's coming out this weekend makes it seem like Wendy is going through a really hard time ... and there appears to be drama brewing between the team handling her affairs right now and her own family. Basically, it's messy and complicated.

Un impactante accidente múltiple en China dejó a 100 carros apilados y parece que todos sobrevivieron a la terrible experiencia, que quedó registrada en video.

Los medios estatales de China publicaron el video, que ahora está por todas las redes sociales, donde se ve una enorme fila de coches embestidos unos contra otros en extrañas posiciones, con un vehículo incluso descansando encima de todos en un ángulo casi vertical.

También se pueden ver escombros sobre la autopista y a la gente saliendo de los carros para ayudar a sus compañeros, aunque la policía local está diciendo que todo el mundo está más o menos bien, con solo algunas personas heridas.

La policía del Parque Industrial de Suzhou publicó en sus redes sociales WeChat que tres personas habían sido derivadas al hospital por sus lesiones y seis sufrieron rasguños menores, pero según ellos, todo el mundo sigue vivo.

Reuters está apuntando al mal tiempo como la principal razón detrás de este accidente, diciendo que el país ha sido golpeado con ventiscas y toneladas de lluvia.

El medio también informa que ha habido más gente circulando por las carreteras debido a las recientes vacaciones del Año Nuevo Lunar.

Por cierto, estos enormes accidentes no son totalmente desconocidos en China. En 2022, más de 200 carros se vieron implicados en un accidente múltiple provocado por la niebla, según el diario estatal Global Times. Según los informes, una persona murió en ese caso.

The aftermath of a 100-car pileup in China looks absolutely terrifying on camera ... and yet, it seems everyone survived the horrible ordeal.

Chinese state media posted the video, now all over social media, Friday which showed a huge swath of cars rammed into one another at odd angles, with one vehicle even resting atop several others at a near vertical angle.

Debris litters the freeway in the vid, and people can be seen clambering out of cars and looking to help their fellow crashed drivers ... but, local police are saying everyone's pretty much fine with just a few people injured.

Suzhou Industrial Park traffic police posted on social media platform WeChat saying three people were headed to the hospital for their injuries and six suffered minor scratches ... but, according to them, everyone's still alive.

Reuters is pointing to a recent bout of bad weather as the main reason behind this crash ... saying the country's been hit with blizzards and tons of rain.

More people have been on the roads too, the outlet reports, because of the recent Lunar New Year holiday.

BTW ... these huge accidents aren't totally unheard of in China. More than 200 cars were involved in a massive pileup in 2022 caused by heavy fog according to the state-owned Global Times. One person reportedly died in that instance.

Un presentador de FOX News está siendo criticado por sugerir que las nuevas zapatillas de Donald Trump se ganarán a los afroamericanos, y un rapero de Detroit parece dispuesto a firmar ese mensaje.

Raymond Arroyo estaba al aire hablando de Trump y de las zapatillas -que cuestan alrededor de $400- y dio a entender que todos los afroamericanos aman las zapatillas deportivas y por eso Trump iba a triunfar.

Esto es lo que dijo: "Esto está conectando con los afroamericanos, porque les encantan las zapatillas deportivas. Este es un gran tema, sobre todo en el centro de la ciudad. Así que cuando Trump lanzó su línea de zapatillas, ellos dijeron, "espera un minuto, esto es genial'. Está llegando a ellos por encima de la política".

Naturalmente, los comentarios de Arroyo desataron la indignación en Internet, y muchos lo calificaron de racista y de caer en estereotipos dañinos que no son ciertos. Como muchos señalaron con razón, los afroamericanos y cualquier grupo étnico son variados, en gustos y estilos.

Sin embargo Peezy, que tiene un gran número de seguidores, parecía apoyar el argumento de Arroyo, afirmando en línea que está tratando de conseguir un par. De hecho, apoya a Trump y critica a Biden.

Peezy fue claro respecto a las zapatillas y a sus afiliaciones políticas, diciendo: "F*** Joe Biden, estoy rockeando con Trump", antes de añadir un "f*** Kamala Harris" por si acaso. También dijo "Free Trump", así que sí, él es un fan.

Por supuesto, Peezy de ninguna manera hablando en nombre todos, solo se representa a sí mismo y sus propios puntos de vista, pero es interesante de todas formas.

Los comentarios de Arroyo están siendo vistos como problemáticos, pero por la misma razón, hay claramente algunos afroamericanos que en realidad detestan a Trump. De nuevo, no somos todos iguales, así que no es ninguna sorpresa.

Si Trump es capaz de lograr que más afroamericanos voten por él este año, probablemente no será a causa de estas zapatillas... no importa lo que FOX News diga.

Darius Rucker es un gran fan de que Beyoncé pruebe otros géneros, dice que le encanta su nueva música country y espera que finalmente le consiga el codiciado Grammy al Álbum del Año.

El legendario cantautor -que es uno de los pocos artistas negros que ha irrumpido con éxito en el country- estaba en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles el miércoles cuando un fotógrafo le preguntó acerca de la última oferta de Beyoncé, "Texas Hold 'Em".

Darius es bastante breve y preciso en sus comentarios. Dice que le gusta el nuevo giro de la Diva.

Dice que "THE" es una gran canción e incluso le desea buena suerte a su manera sobre la perspectiva de la incursión de Beyoncé en la música country finalmente le gana un premio Grammy por Álbum del Año, algo que todavía falta dentro de los logros de Bey.

Recordemos que Jay-Z hizo un gran alboroto sobre la ausencia de Beyoncé durante su discurso en los Grammys de este mes, por lo que mucha gente se pregunta si un álbum de country podría cambiar las cosas.

Por supuesto, Beyoncé va a tener que vencer a Taylor Swift -entre otros- para ganar el gran premio (Artista del Año). Taylor también tiene un nuevo álbum y Darius se refirió a ella.

El camarógrafo le pregunta a Darius si cree que Taylor debe volver al country. A lo que responde que Tay Tay debería sacar el tipo de música que quiera, lo mismo para Beyoncé.

Una última cosa que Darius abordó aquí sobre Bey y el country, son los comentarios feos de John Schneider de la semana pasada, cuando hizo comparaciones con un perro que marca su territorio.

Al igual que muchas personas, está de acuerdo en que las palabras de John estaban impregnadas de un trasfondo racista, y dice que la música country no pertenece a un grupo pequeño. Sobre la cuestión de si Beyoncé es un "pararrayos", Darius se burla de esa idea también en esta entrevista.

Resumiendo, Darius está apoyando los deseos de Beyoncé de entrar en la música country.

A FOX News host is under fire for suggesting Donald Trump's new sneakers will win over Black America -- and one rapper from Detroit seems ready to cosign that message.

Raymond Arroyo was on the air and talking about DT's "gold" kicks -- which cost about $400 -- and he said something controversial ... namely, implying all Black people love sneakers, and because of that -- Trump's new endeavor will bring them over to his side in droves.

Here's what he said ... "This is connecting with Black America because they love sneakers. This is a big deal, certainly in the inner city. So when you have Trump roll out his sneaker line, they're like, 'wait a minute, this is cool.' He's reaching them on a level that defies and is above politics."

Naturally, Arroyo's comments sparked outrage online -- with many calling his sentiment outright racist ... and playing into harmful stereotypes that just aren't true. As many rightly noted ... Black people are NOT a monolith, and neither is any other group for that matter.

And yet ... Peezy -- who's got a pretty big following -- appeared to back Arroyo's argument ... hopping online to explicitly plug Trump's "Never Surrender" shoes, and even saying he's trying to get his hands on a pair. Indeed, he endorses Trump here -- and slams Biden as well.

Peezy put out an APB for a size 13 for the sold-out sneakers ... while making his political affiliations clear ... saying "F*** Joe Biden, I'm rocking with Trump," before adding a "f*** Kamala Harris" for good measure. He also said "Free Trump" ... so yeah, he's a fan.

Of course, Peezy is in no way speaking on behalf of others here -- he only represents himself and his own views -- but it is interesting that he's coming out swinging on behalf of DT and his kicks.

Big picture though ... Arroyo's remarks are being viewed as problematic, but by the same token -- there's clearly some Black people who actually dig Trump and his merch. Again ... not a monolith -- so no surprise there, really.

We'll say this ... if Trump is able to sway more African Americans to vote for him this year -- it probably won't be because of these shoes, specifically -- despite what FOX News thinks.

Darius Rucker is a big fan of Beyoncé joining his genre ... saying he's loving her new country music, and hopes it finally lands her a coveted Album of the Year Grammy.

The legendary singer-songwriter -- who's one of the few Black artists who's broken through into country successfully -- was at LAX Wednesday when a photog asked him about Beyoncé's latest offering, "Texas Hold 'Em."

Darius is fairly brief and succinct in his review -- but he's clear ... he's digging Bey's twang.

He says 'THE' is a great song and even throws good luck her way over the prospect of Beyoncé's foray into country music finally earns her a Grammy award for Album of The Year ... something that's still missing from Bey's mantle.

Remember ... Jay-Z made a big stink about Beyoncé's lack of an AOTY award during a speech at this month's Grammys, so lots of folks are wondering if a country album will get Bey over the hump ... Darius included.

Of course, Beyoncé's going to have to beat out Taylor Swift -- and others -- to win AOTY ... Taylor's got a new album coming out too, and Darius actually addresses Taylor too here.

The cameraman asks Darius if he thinks Taylor should go back to country -- something that another bystander next to DR actually weighs in on before has a chance to. As for Darius, he says Tay Tay should crank out whatever type of music she wants ... ditto for Beyoncé.

One last thing Darius addressed here about Bey and country ... namely, John Schneider's ugly remarks about her last week -- when he likened her to a dog marking its territory.

Like many people ... he agrees that John's words were laced with a racist undertone -- and he says gatekeeping country music is absolutely silly. On the question of whether Beyoncé is a "lightning rod" ... Darius scoffs at that notion as well in this interview.

Long story short ... Darius is all for Beyoncé getting into country music -- he's definitely a fan.
