The singer and fashion maven settled with the company for an undisclosed amount, bringing the matter to an official close. The Blast reports : According to court documents obtained by The Blast, RiRi and the clothing company Freedom United have privately settled the case. The judge then closed the case officially. Last year, Freedom United sued Rihanna and claimed they have been making clothing with an “FU” logo since 2006 and even have it trademarked. Freedom United said RiRi then launched her PUMA deal and began hawking items with a similar “F.U.” logo on her “Fenty University” clothing. Rihanna is one to bigger and better things in the fashion world after it was recently announced that she’ll have her own line with the Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy Group. — Photo: WENN

Source: Michael Caulfield / Getty Trailer Drops For Netflix Standup Special ‘Wanda Sykes: Not Normal’ Wanda Sykes is back with another standup special and per usual, she’s keeping things relevant with some of today’s most pressing issues. In the trailer for Wanda Sykes: Not Normal, she covers the opioid crisis and how there seems to be a racial divide on who accesses the drug. Check out the clip below. This will be Sykes’ next big stand-up special following her Epix special Wanda Sykes: What Happened…Ms. Sykes? in 2016. Since then, she’s appeared in shows like Black-ish and Broad City , as well as movies like Snatched. You can check out Wanda Sykes: Not Normal when it hits Netflix on May 21!
Source: Venturelli/WireImage / Getty Gucci Accused Of Religious/Cultural Appropriation For $790 Sikhi Style Turbans SMH. After all the blackface backlash , Gucci is getting groaned again — this time for selling $790 turbans that are similar in style to the dastaar (turban) worn by members of the Sikh faith. According to Washington Post , the brand originally drew ire from the Sikh community when the luxury designer had a white model walking the runway in a bright blue turban last year: It was styled nearly identically to the traditional headwear of Sikhs, who follow a faith with roots in South Asia, and outrage abounded. The Italian luxury brand was widely panned for not showing the look on “a brown model” and failing to grasp the turban’s significance. “As a Sikh, I see this as a huge sign of disrespect and disregard toward Sikhism,” one person tweeted at the time. Apparently that wasn’t enough to halt production because this week Gucci’s “Indy Full Turban” — described as a “gorgeously crafted turban” that is “ready to turn heads while keeping you in comfort as well as trademark style” — was being sold by Nordstrom for a reported price of $790. As of Wednesday evening, the item was listed as sold out on Nordstrom’s website and the price no longer appeared. The department store and Gucci did not respond to requests for comment from the Washington Post. Meanwhile there’s been a (well deserved, in our opinion) outcry from Sikhs and other critics over misappropriating an article of clothing that has religious significance and whose wearers have been attacked, discriminated against and even killed. The turban is not just an accessory to monetize; it's a religious article of faith that millions of Sikhs view as sacred. Many find this cultural appropriation inappropriate, since those wearing the turban just for fashion will not appreciate its deep religious significance. pic.twitter.com/fldmxa3Wvr — Sikh Coalition (@sikh_coalition) May 14, 2019 On Tuesday, the Sikh Coalition tweeted an image of the Nordstrom listing and criticized the treatment of the “sacred” headwear. “The turban is not just an accessory to monetize,” the group wrote, adding in a separate tweet that it had contacted Nordstrom and Gucci. It wrote: “Many find this cultural appropriation inappropriate, since those wearing the turban just for fashion will not appreciate its deep religious significance.” There’s much more to unpack with this particular item of clothing. Hit the flip for more tweets that explain why this was such a huge offense.

Source: DJ Khaled / DJ Khaled We’re now going on two months since beloved rapper Nipsey Hussle was taken away from us in a senseless act of violence and while we’re still coming to grips that we’ll never hear from him again we find a little solace in knowing his and acts of kindness will reverberate throughout Hip-Hop history so long as we keep his memory alive. Yesterday DJ Khaled did his part when he posted a touching tribute to the Victory Lap artist on his IG page in which he announced the release of their collaboration cut dubbed “Higher” and how they put down the track just days before Nip was murdered. “Just days prior, he shared his energy and positivity with me on a video set for a song called “Higher.” After much prayer and reflection; and with the full blessing of the Asghedom family, I am sharing that moment with the world.” To further honor the memory and family of Nip, Khaled stated that they are “donating 100% of all our proceeds from “Higher” to Nipsey’s children, Emani and Kross.” Well done, sir. Nipsey Hussle and DJ Khaled’s “Higher” is one of the cuts to be included in Khaled’s upcoming album Father of Asahd which drops this Friday (May 17). Check out the post below.
