TYGAAAA?! Tyga Sued For Allegedly Failing To Pay Artist Sampled On “Swap Meet”

Source: KIKA/WENN.com / WENN Tyga Is Being Sued For Not Properly Clearing A Sample After a few slow years, Tyga did pretty well for himself in 2018. But now, the California rapper has now found himself in some legal trouble. According to reports from  TMZ ,  the rapper is being sued for using lyrics from another song in his 2018 track “Swap Meet” without proper clearing the record. The lawsuit in question was filed by a rapper by the name of Pretty Maw. She is claiming that Tyga ripped lyrics from her song “17th” without proper compensation, despite saying he would pay “a fixed monetary amount” in addition to royalties from “Swap Meet.” The official video for T-Raww’s track has accumulated over 7 million views on YouTube since its release back in September. The debut video from the lesser-known New Orleans artist for “17th” has yet to eclipse 14,000, but Pretty Maw can actually be seen at the end of the “Swap Meet” video performing a section of her song. Despite her appearance in Tyga’s video, she is not even officially featured on the track.   This is far from the first time money has been a problem for Tyga. Back in July, he allegedly owed $157,000 for abandoning a leased vehicle . A few months before that in March, he was sued for failing to pay his $40,000 a month rent for a Beverly Hills mansion he was renting. In this most recent lawsuit, Pretty Maw is seeking an undisclosed amount of money and the discontinued distribution of “Swap Meet.” Continue reading

Is Kelis Trying To Migrate Her Milkshake & Nas’ Son To A Farm In Cartagena, Colombia?

Source: Patrick McMullan / Getty Nas Claims Kelis Is Trying To Relocate Their Son To Colombia Kelis seems to have plans of becoming a Colombian farmer, but Nas isn’t about to let that milkshake move too far if he can help it. According to a new report, the “Bossy” singer didn’t provide proper travel notice so the move might be a violation of her child custody agreement with the Queens rapper. From TMZ : “Nas is pissed off about a bunch of child custody issues — the biggest being Kelis’ plans to hightail to Cartagena. According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Kelis already took 9-year-old  Knight  to Colombia last month. Nas says he was supposed to get their son on New Year’s Eve … but Kelis texted him to say the plan had changed. He says she didn’t come back to the states until Jan. 14.” It seems she’s already been making moves on the low, low… “Further, he says Kelis has told him she and her new husband have a farm in Colombia and she intends to stay there. Nas says she’s already withdrawn Knight from his private school in L.A. … and he says Kelis is currently homeschooling the kid in Colombia.” Hopefully, they’ll be able to work this out for their son’s sake. In the meantime, Nas is making headlines after he reportedly signed a $340 million deal with Viacom to purchase Pluto TV. Catch up on that here . Continue reading

Bodak Union: Stephen Colbert Campaigns For Cardi B To Give State Of The Union Rebuttal

Source: Splash News / Splash News The Late Night Host Believes She Has The Chops It was only a matter of time before Cardi B ‘s political rants gained the support of the masses, sparking a revolutionary movement that will impeach Trump and destroy white supremacy everywhere. Well, that has happened quite yet. But at least Cardi has Stephen Colbert ‘s vote. The late night talk show host is campaigning for Cardi to deliver her own address after Donald Trump ‘s State of the Union address. On Wednesday night, Colbert tweeted, “I am starting a petition for the Democrats to let @iamcardib give the rebuttal to the SOTU. Sign it by retweeting this!” I am starting a petition for the Democrats to let @iamcardib give the rebuttal to the SOTU. Sign it by retweeting this! — Stephen Colbert (@StephenAtHome) January 24, 2019   According to Newsweek, Trump tweeted on Wednesday that he’ll postpone his State of the Union address until after the partial government shutdown is over. However, it seems Colbert is planning ahead. His tweet supporting Cardi has already received over 22,000 retweets as of Thursday morning. The not-too-shabby numbers have the potential to grow if the Cardi stans do their thing. Granted, we doubt the Dems have the balls to let a real one like Cardi represent them. But hey, this could be the start of an amazing skit featuring Cardi on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.  Cardi has already shown she has the chops to go against political naysayers. On Tuesday, Cardi clapped back at conservative TV host Stephanie Hammill when she tried to shame Cardi’s twerking in her “Twerk” music video with City Girls.  “In the Era of #meToo how exactly does this empower women,” Hammill tweeted. “Leftists, @iamcardib , feel free to chime in. THX ..” Cardi responded to the caucasity tenacity by tweeting, “It says to women that I can wear and not wear what ever I want. do w.e I want and that NO still means NO. So Stephanie chime in..If I twerk and be half naked does that mean I deserve to get raped and molested ? I want to know what a conservative woman like you thinks.” It says to women that I can wear and not wear what ever I want. do w.e I want and that NO still means NO. So Stephanie chime in..If I twerk and be half naked does that mean I deserve to get raped and molested ? I want to know what a conservative woman like you thinks https://t.co/8UBQQzO6jK — iamcardib (@iamcardib) January 22, 2019   Bloopity bloop bloop. Cardi also gave her political views when she completely slammed Trump on Instagram for his government shutdown: “I just wanna remind you that it’s been a little bit over three weeks. Trump is now ordering … federal government workers to go back to work without getting paid. This s**t is really fu**ing serious, bro. This s**t is crazy. Our country is in a hellhole now — all for a fu**ing wall.” The early seeds of a Cardi revolution or nah? Retweet Colbert if you’re for the cause.   Continue reading
