Justin Bieber is an adult, and he needs to start acting like one. That's the advice of an angry photographer named Jeffrey Binion, who alleges the "Lil Swaggy" heartthrob sent a bodyguard to assault him outside a Miami recording studio.

The photog -- who swears he's not a paparazzi -- was trying to take a flick of the Biebz when he found himself at the wrong end of a large man named Hugo Hesny who took his memory card and allegedly flashed a gun. Now Binion's suing Bieber and the bodyguard for emotional and physical damages.

Justin Bieber is a thug.

Well ... At least lil' homie's trying his hardest.

Lately, the Biebz has been publicly beefing with ex-NFL superstar Keyshawn Johnson. He's been the subject of multiple reckless driving investigations by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department. And he even allegedly spit in a neighbor's face and threatened to kill him.

Now on vacay in Miami, JB's been all about illegal underage drankin' at SoBe clubs and Biscayne nudie bars. And if that wasn't thuggish-ruggish enough ... His bodyguards have allegedly attacked a Miami photographer.

UPDATE Bieber actually fought another photographer in Miami. And it was all caught on tape. "Grab that camera! Get that fucking camera outta here!"

Inner Circle Talks Tour Bus Crash in Louisiana: "Everyting Was Flyin' and Turnin'"

Yesterday near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Inner Circle's tour bus crashed into a highway cable barrier on Interstate 10 as the classic reggae band traveled to California to kick off its summer tour. A tire blowout was the cause.

"Listen man, God is good," cofounder and guitarist Roger Lewis tells Crossfade. "I thought the whole bus was gon' flip and it was all gon' be over. It was like a movie, everyting was flyin' and turnin'. The only thing that held us from flipping was a wire. And the driver was very good, he held tight. We skid into a ravine and then crash. Somebody great was looking out for us boy, somebody great."

We happened to be there with a camera as the bus prepared to leave for tour Monday night.

The-Dream's Banned "Pussy" Porn Vid:
An Extremely Detailed Breakdown

The-Dream_Pussy_Porn_Video.JPG

R.I.P., feminism, for we bury it on this day.

The-Dream released a pornographic music video less than 24 hours ago. And almost immediately, it was pulled from YouTube for breaking the nudity rules. Thankfully, there's Vimeo for all our prurient needs.

The clip for single "Pussy," featuring Big Sean and Pusha T, shows some stripper touching herself, getting jizzed on by massage oil, and simulating sex with The-Dream's forthcoming CD. Let's check it out.

Ultra Music Festival Comments on 2014 Tickets: "Price Increase Unfortunately Necessary"

Each and every year, beat freaks become enraged when Ultra Music Festival's early-bird tickets sell out. Like, instantly.

This year, it took a whole 240 seconds. "With over 200,000 hopefuls waiting in the online queue," Ultra organizers boasted in a post-sale press release, "it's no surprise that the incredible value EARLY BIRD tickets were gone within just 4 minutes."

Lots of UMF fans weren't so ecstatic, though. The angry ravers complained of the "worst ticketing experience ever." They launched a Boycott Ultra campaign. They decried $399.95 general-admission tix.

Now Ultra has finally offered official comment on this early-bird debacle while insisting the GA "price increase was unfortunately necessary." And especially for all y'all angry ravers, the fest has also established a "Fan Experience Committee."

Check the cut for the full UMF statement.

Big Boi Injures Knee, Forced to Postpone Tour

Poor Big Boi. It seems the slickest, most Southernplayalistic half of Outkast still touring has injured himself while rockin' a stage. And now he has to sit out for at least six weeks.

According to Billboard, the rapper was giving it his all at Summer Camp Fest in Chillicothe, Illinois, when he rocked a little too hard and tore the patella in his left knee. As a result, he has to reschedule his remaining tour dates, including a stop at Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday, June 5.

But hush that fuss ... Big Boi's gonna be coming back 'round eventually.

Ultra Insider Insists No Foul Play: "15,000 Tickets ... 400,000 Attempting to Purchase"

People are really mad at Ultra Music Festival about this early-bird ticket debacle.

Like, seriously ... They're ready to throw down their finger gloves and walk out of this relationship for the last time.

The fans are tired of what they see as "the marketing tactics of a greedy business that takes advantage of their customers, with no regard to their safety or well being." (Thanks, silvershady22!)

But the Ultra people insist it's not their greed standing in the way, but plain old numbers.

UPDATE We here at Crossfade have got an idea for Ultra organizers: It's time for ticket layaway.

UPDATE #2 Ultra 2014 has finally commented on its "necessary price increase" and established a "Fan Experience Committee."

Feed Me is a genius.

In a bold move that shows wisdom, courage, soul, and respect for his craft, the beloved dubstep and hard electro DJ and producer announced his departure from the scene via Twitter, effectively quitting EDM.

Citing the current scene's lack of creativity and meaning, Feed Me leaves fans disappointed and confused. But he's got Crossfade's virtual high-five for doing the right thing. We'd even say he's a hero.
