It’s amazing how quickly people forget the device capable of connecting them to the world can also capture the evidence that gets them in deep trouble.
If you are one of these 15 stars caught in cell phone controversies, it might be best to downgrade back to an old school flip phone and avoid the drama altogether.

Funkmaster Flex
Lost in that whole Life + Times drama between Funk Flex and Jay Z was the fact that the Hot 97 personality clearly doesn’t like being texted in all caps.
Donald Trump
As if you didn’t already know, Donald Trump has no chill. How are you going to give out a fellow Presidential candidate’s cell phone number on national television?
Vivica Fox and Kenya Moore
Despite being relatively well off, some women will always resort to ratchet behavior. See the stolen cell phone dispute between Vivica Fox and Kenya Moore on Celebrity Apprentice for more proof.
Tom Brady
Few things are as shameful as the fact that taxpayer dollars are being spent for a federal judge to rule on Tom Brady destroying his phone after getting caught up in this #DeflateGate nonsense.
Tyga
When you’re allegedly getting statutory, the last thing you should want is the FBI tracking down the origin of your leaked d**k pics. Does anyone really believe he wasn’t sending those flicks to Kylie?
Teairra Mari
Somebody needs to buy old girl a Mophie and/or some lessons about entitlement. Former Roc-a-fella benchwarmer Teairra Mari tried to serve her Uber driver the fade because he wouldn’t let her use his charger. It’s not that serious, baby girl.
J. Cole
Young Simba gave his obsessive fans the album they wanted, and he was rewarded with an iPhone to the face. That’s just wrong.

Jill Scott
What started out as some innocent photographic proof of her weight loss turned into quite the meme when nude selfies of Jill Scott hit the Internets. Them thangs were out there giving thirsty dudes life.
Apollo Nida and Phaedra Parks
Whoever “Mr. Chocolate” was, Apollo was not having any of it. You know it’s real when a cat starts printing out screen shots of text messages.
Jay Z and Beyonce
The Internet loves flicks of Bey giving Jigga the side eye while he’s on his phone. Wendy Williams clearly enjoyed giving the play by play of one of these encounters. All she’s missing is a telestrator.

Usher
It may not have been a scandal, but Usher definitely made headlines by charging his phone using the power of the “P.” And yes, the “P” in question is a woman’s reproductive organ.

Jared from Subway
Much like Warren Sapp, Jared Fogle allegedly wasn’t told that if you’re going to engage in some lecherous law-breaking, don’t gift wrap the case by using your cell phone.
DeMarco Murray
It didn’t stop him from getting paid by the Philadelphia Eagles, but that whole scandal with DeMarco Murray allegedly smashing Brennan Clay’s wife (under the guise of having the code name “Spray Tan”) was hi-lar-i-ous.

Chris Brown and Rihanna
If you go back and check the transcripts, you’ll see that the whole domestic issue between Breezy and Rihanna began with her hitting him after texts revealed he was allegedly smashing his publicist. Ooops.
Matt Wiener
Keep it 100…would you be able to vote for an elected official who can’t understand the difference between sliding in his sidepiece’s DMs and tweeting out pictures of his junk?
