According to reports, Montana will spend a full month at the facility.

Montana Fishburne — aspiring sex tape star and daughter of Laurence Fishburne — is checking herself into an inpatient facility that specializes in anger management, behavioral problems and mental illnesses … sources tell TMZ. We’re told the facility is in Southern California and Montana will be there at least 30 days. Sources say part of Montana’s stay will be devoted to anger issues, but she’ll also undergo diagnostic tests to determine if there are underlying behavioral or mental issues. (TMZ)

The 19-year-old star’s venture into the adult film industry recently sparked a reaction from 50 Cent.

“When you decide you want to be a porn star, no porn star uses their last name,” Fif told radio host Funkmaster Flex. “You would use a new name or what’s her first name? ‘Montana Rye’ I could have helped her marketing-wise. But she used her father’s fame. Let’s say you have a little boy and your son’s gay or your son’s a drug addict, we can’t decide where people’s lives are actually going to go so it’s not really a reflection of Larry Fishburne, the connection goes wild. Immediately, people scream bad parenting but you don’t have control over all of those things and she’s an adult now. So, she makes bad choices, it reflects her.” (Hot 97)

Model/Rapper LoLa Monroe labeled the star’s excuse of trying to follow in Kim Kardashian‘s footsteps as “misguided”.

“It kind of doesn’t make sense to me because you got to kind of understand, I’m not saying what Kim Kardashian did was okay but there is a difference between having an intimate sex tape out and actually getting into porn. It’s totally different and when you compare it as Black women we’re received very, very different [treatment] from Caucasian women. So it’s a difference, but even with that being her explanation it really doesn’t make any sense. That’s just a misguided young girl. Terribly misguided.” (XXL Mag)

Last month, Montana penned an open letter to the public as a response to the criticism she’s received over her recent decision.

“I was the one who reached out to Vivid. [Male performer] Brian Pumper had nothing to do with getting me started. I did my first video with him, but that’s it. I chose Vivid because they are the best in the business and I wanted to go to the top seller. And they have released other movies with celebrity girls like Kendra, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. So, I wanted to go somewhere I knew I would be safe. People have it wrong. Doing porn is not about me becoming famous…it’s about becoming successful. Porn just happens to be the industry I was most interested in, so for critics to say I’m going about it the wrong way they are missing the point. I am making a buzz in the porn industry and in the mainstream, too. It’s leading me to more opportunities, so people can’t say that I’m not going to get anywhere.” (VIBE)

  1. This the nigga who said soulja boy killin rap? but nicki minaj takes rap to a new level??? Man im done with this shit!

  2. {{{-_-}}} @ Ice-T

    “She kind of reminds me of a female Busta Rhymes”

    I think that’s an insult to Busta.

    This nigga went HAM on Soulja Boy but Soulja is more Hip Hop compared to Nicki.
    He is now co-signing the state of Hip Hop but REAL Hip Hop is dying because we allow fake artists raping REAL HIP HOP.

    But then again why should I take a cop killer serious who acts like an cop for a living. ANd it’s not that this nigga plays other role all he does is play cops. {{{-_-}}}

  3. honestly Ice-T sugar coated this …. if soulja boy is not hip hop to him.. how is Nicki Minaj. lmao he is picking and choosing his word battle.. for somebody i considered to a straight talker.. one thing he does have correct is nicki is not on lil kim level…. lyrically lil kim rules all over nicki .. something elese thats a fact female rappers have been added pop elements and crossovered to the pop world before minaj was in existence.. the difference is nicki minaj tries to immulate OTHER pop artist. nicki really doesnt have an identity.

  4. What the fuck is hip hop music supposed to sound like? What beat selection, what lyrical content, is it clever word play or story telling? Is it conscious social topics or sick metaphors and punch lines? In my opinion hip hop music is about broadcasting ghetto living. Is that not how it started all those years ago in the south Bronx? It’s sort of like the blues, and once a blues musician started getting more uptempo and making happy love songs their genre was no more blues but something else whether it be called jazz or rock n roll. So if you don’t stick to the format of what something was it becomes something else. In short, IF IT AIN’T ABOUT THE HOOD IT AIN’T HIPHOP…..but fuck the hood and hip hop.

  5. Omg Nicki has talent yall, I mean she may not b back n da day hip hop but she learned alot from Kim, Missey, and Foxxy, hell even Eve. She just the new genes version of what people(kids) like today, I say let her do her we will c if she can mantain the fame r become a Monster
