Oh Breezy, you just don't know how to stay out of trouble, do you?!?

Chris Brown performed in Ghana last week, and even though we're dazzled by how much he got into his show, the Ghanaians are NOT feeling how he started smoking weed on-stage because he broke the country's public smoking laws.

Ever since the incident occurred, executive director of Perfector of Sentiments, Jonathan Osei-Owusu has taken a stand against the R&B singer

We are just tearing up over here.

One Direction's Harry Styles and Liam Payne headed over to Ghana to support the charity, Comic Relief's Red Nose Day — and as soon as the entered a clinic, where children are suffering from malaria, they couldn't believe what they saw.

We could not be more PROUD of our boys in One Direction!

As we've reported, the group recently traveled to a supremely impoverished region of Ghana as part of the United Kingdom's Red Nose Day/Comic Relief efforts, which raises funds to help alleviate poverty worldwide!

And while we were all treated to an AWESOME cover of Blondie's One Way Or Another to help raise money for the cause, we're delighted to announce that it is simply NOT ENOUGH for Harry, Zayn, Louis, Liam and Niall, as they've decided to continue fundraising efforts of their own to help all those in far worse circumstances than those facing us!

But they want input from the fans, too!

Ch-ch-check out the video to see how you can do your part (above)!

Even though One Direction has been under FIRE thanks to their scandalous love lives, we still love them all the same.

In celebration of One Direction Day (yes, it's real), the boys visited morning talk show Daybreak to discuss their life changing world travels, what their moms think about their tattoos, their first Valentines, and so MUCH more!

How adorable are they with the kids in Africa?!! *swoon*

Ch-ch-check out the crush-worthy interview (above)!!!

While many saw One Direction’s recent charity trip to Ghana as an act of kindness, others viewed it as an inaccurate depiction of their country!

We previously showed you the pic of 1D in Ghana and told you about group member Niall Horan’s tweet, which stated his realization that poverty is indeed VERY real.

Now it looks like Niall’s tweet didn’t quite go over so well with the country’s celebrities, who interpreted it as him saying ALL of Ghana is impoverished.

One Ghanaian actress, Ama K. Abebrese, blasted off tweets to Niall, which read:

Aw, look at the boys! Being all inspirational and stuff!

One Direction had such a wonderful time in Ghana for the UK's Red Nose Day/Comic Relief effort that Harry Styles tweeted out the (above) pic of his fellow 1D mates singing and clapping with some adorable children. Harry wrote

Hoh man…

Cheeky musical quintet One Direction took a sneaky, secret visit to an impoverished region of Ghana a few days ago as part of the UK's Red Nose Day/Comic Relief effort, which helps raise money to alleviate poverty…

And not only did the boyband members enjoy their trip — where they also filmed scenes for a Comic Relief music video cover of Blondie's One Way or Another — it seems the dudes also learned a thing or two about the state of the world!

Nice!

In fact, the band's newest legal driver Niall Horan apparently had an "a ha" moment, as evidenced by his tweet:

I've seen the slums right in front of me! This is no joke! They really need your help! Poverty is real !

Awww Niall! SO cute in the most naive sort of way!

Niall's "life changing" experience even caused him to
