These days, you can find everything on the ‘Gram. From updates about your favorite artists to discovering the future of the culture in pretty much every corner of the app itself, no moment goes unnoticed in a mass media driven world. Instagram has long been a mainstay for photographers and video lovers alike, but the app also serves a very special purpose for musicians, celebrities and anyone who wants to get their voice heard and connect with each other.

This week’s edition of Instagram Flexin’ includes Chris Brown’s unusual accessory and Xzibit’s financial tip.

Chris Brown Buys Diamond-Studded Ankle Monitor

Brown decided to forgo the typical accessories when he copped himself a diamond-studded ankle bracelet — though he emphasized he’s not on house arrest. Perhaps Breezy anticipates making use of it given his history of legal troubles.

Xzibit Offers Financial Advice

This is by no means a “floss” this is a cautionary message to all my fellow entertainers and entrepreneurs, PAY YOUR TAXES!! I made the mistake of trusting people with my financial responsibilities and ended up fucked. People love to spread false and inaccurate information in this day and age, and I suffered for almost a damn decade getting all of this back in order. Stop buying Shit you don’t need, take care of your future and family. If you can’t buy it 3 times…guess what? You can’t afford to buy it once. I wiped all of my debt out and it feels like I’ve had a 300 LB gorilla off my back. No one will take care of your business better than YOU! For those who were celebrating my down time, pls, #keepthatsameenergy and let’s see if all you people in the same place I was, can come out the other side, in tact. Thank you to everyone that supported me thru the tough times and brace yourself for what is now on its way. #openbarentertainment #BrokenGround #KingMaker
