Nicki Minaj & Tracy Chapman Headed To Private Mediation Over Copyright Infringement Case (Exclusive)

Source: Jennifer Graylock – PA Images / Getty Nicki Minaj And Tracy Chapman Embroiled In Suit Over Song Sample A federal court judge has ordered Tracy Chapman and Nicki Minaj to try to make a deal on their copyright infringement case out of court. California Federal Court Judge Virginia Phillips ordered the artists to seek private arbitration in the case, which accuses Minaj of sampling Chapman’s copyrighted song “Baby Can I Hold You,” for her song “Sorry,” without permission. Source: Stephane Cardinale – Corbis / Getty Minaj denied Chapman’s infringement claim, saying Chapman did not own the copyright for “Baby Can I Hold You,” and said her use of the song was protected under the “Fair Use” law. The judge gave Chapman and Minaj until the end of this summer to attend private arbitration, in the hopes that an expert mediator could help them resolve it. If they can’t make a deal, then the case will head to trial in February 2020, court papers state.

Ayesha Curry Admits She Sends Steph “Hundreds” Of Sexy Photos To Keep Things Spicy

Originally posted here:

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN We told you earlier this week that actress  Bella Thorne has a bone to pick with Whoopi Goldberg . The 21-year-old former Disney star had some topless photos of herself hacked, and in order to keep her hacker from leaking them to the public, she released them in an effort to take her power back. However, Whoopi felt that in this day and age, Bella should have known better than to take risque photos of herself when it’s so common for them to be stolen and released. Bella felt that Whoopi was victim-blaming, and posted emotional InstaStories calling Whoopi’s comments “disgusting.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). A lot of people agreed with the Hollywood veteran though, and felt that stars should know that since they run a higher risk of being exposed, they shouldn’t even think about sharing nude, topless, risque — whatever — photos. That hasn’t stopped many celebs from doing it though, including Ayesha Curry. While visiting E! News’ Daily Pop to promote her new ABC series, Family Food Fight, Ayesha was asked if she sends “spicy” photos to husband Stephen Curry when he’s on the road and she said, “Hundreds! Hundreds of them!” Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing! Please be sure to open and click your first newsletter so we can confirm your subscription. Email Submit However, she admitted that she’s very worried about them getting out. “He won’t delete them off of his phone!” she said. “He’s not that secure with his phone so it’s actually one of the scariest things in my life.” She said the trick to keeping those images from getting out is taking photos from the “neck down” (so people can’t prove the photos are of her) and changing her password a lot. SEE ALSO:  Ayesha Curry Reveals She Got A Botched Boob Job “I’m going to change mine as soon as I get up off this couch,” she said. It makes sense though that Ayesha is spicing things up with sexy photos. She and Steph have been together since they were teenagers and married since 2011. Not to mention, she also has to deal with other women who are out here trying to get the NBA champion’s attention. “The ladies will always be lurking and waiting for their moment,” she said recently on Red Table Talk, “but for me, I honestly hate it.” But aside from naughty photos, the pair keep things solid by making their relationship a priority over everything, and it works. “Putting ourselves first, and making sure that we make time for date nights and for each other. That’s been very important, as hard as it is,” she said. “Because when you become a parent, you want to put your kids first, and we do, but we do it second to our relationship. Because ultimately, when our relationship is good, the kids are happy and they’re thriving and our family life is good. We have to put that into perspective and realize that it’s not us being selfish, it’s making sure we set a strong foundation.” This story was originally posted on madamenoire.com .  [ione_media_gallery src=”https://rickeysmileymorningshow.com” id=”1985479″ overlay=”true”] ALSO TRENDING ON RICKEYSMILEYMORNINGSHOW.COM : Sasha Obama Graduates High School [PHOTOS] Tami Ever After: Tami Roman Lands ‘Basketball Wives’ Spinoff Show Aoki Lee Simmons Stuns At Senior Prom [PHOTOS] Follow @TheRSMS

Jess Hilarious Posts & Deletes That Her “Soulmate” Kountry Wayne Is Better Off Going Back To His Wife

Source: Paras Griffin/Jeff Kravitz / Getty Jess Hilarious Vents Over Kountry Wayne Situation Jess Hilarious had some stuff to get off of her chest last night, pretty obviously pertaining to her real life. The comedian posted and deleted a rant about a familiar situation involving a married man: “You ever been in a situation where you just rushing to find love so you jump and get married? But THEN you find your soul mate?” Jess said about the situation. “So now you leave her, get with somebody else, and 4 months later ya’ll break up. So now you looking dumb. Then you get to thinking to yourself ‘maybe this b-tches soul wasn’t what I thought it was cracked up to be.’ Maybe that’s why you should’ve cheated with her first. Like a test run, just to see.” Interesting, because Jess Hilarious and married stand up comedian Kountry Wayne dated earlier this year. They went public with their relationship in January but called it quits officially at the end of April. The four-month relationship ended on good terms according to both parties. During their courtship, Kountry Wayne gifted Jess a house . Recently, he’s been back to focusing on his career and his 9 children, but did he return to his wife? Happy Father's Day pic.twitter.com/CcVFpcwyuU — Kountry Wayne (@kountry_wayne) June 16, 2019 Jess seemingly confirms that Wayne maybe working things out with Gena , his legal wife. She continued her bit about a confused man: “Everything be good in the beginning but then you find she [your soulmate] smoke, but you don’t smoke…she drink, you don’t drink…you vegan, so you eat plants, she don’t…she rolls them up. So, now you see your wife’s soul may be a little better. She just got boring for a second. But that’s why you say ‘for better or for worse’. When the going gets rough you can’t just go around auditioning for souls like it’s a damn TV show. Stay with your wife.” Interesting! Fun fact, Kountry Wayne is a proud vegan who doesn’t drink or smoke. He also refrains from cursing in his acts. Comments started pouring in on Jess’ take on this and she eventually deleted the rant, but you can catch a part of it HERE.

Stefflon Don and Lil Baby meanwhile find themselves ditching the police themselves as well as they make off with a car trunk filled with cash and turning up in a motel in the clip to “Phone Down.” Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Fatboy SSE, Nimic, and more.

Another Black Designer Finds A Carbon Copy Of Her Work For Sale Online

Read more from the original source:

Source: Mireya Acierto / Mireya Acierto / Stringer When white designers replicate one another, intentionally or otherwise, they are called derivative, and uninspired. When they copy Black designers , they are rewarded for their efforts with the cloak of invisibility that shrouds Black women. This week Instagram learned of yet another Black fashion designer being forced to watch their creativity line the pockets of others. Fe Noel , who has been using her Caribbean heritage to create, elegant staples and lush statement pieces for years, posted side by side images of pants she designed for a previous collection with those presented by designer Ulla Johnson. Beneath the image she anticipated the fury of her followers writing, “I’ll let you be the judge.” Social media did not disappoint quickly pointing out that the similarities between the items appeared to be more than coincidental. That didn’t stop Net-A-Porter from charging $395 for them. This happens all the time and when everyone is forwarding the offending image or video to their timelines, they are rarely discussing how it occurs over and over. Source: Mireya Acierto / Mireya Acierto / Stringer These incidents take place because while mainstream retailers love to scope out the trends set by Black artists and consumers they don’t pay as close attention to the people behind them. The question of whether or not Ulla Johnson had seen Noel’s design prior to creating her pant is just one part of the equation. Whether or not any one at Net-A-Porter has ever bothered to look any the beautiful lookbooks presented by Noel season after season is another. In order for Black designers, Black editors, Black writers, Black stylists, and Black writers to flourish people have to quit stalling their research at their immediate circles. This is not someone who is obscure or unknown. She is a design powerhouse who is gaining hard won steam every season and she deserves to be seen and respected. Source: laven Vlasic/Getty Images / (Photo by Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images) It’s not hard to imagine that the buyer would have noticed if Johnson presented an option that was reminiscent of one of the many identical blonde Brooklynites lining the walls of Bloomingdales. They should be just as familiar with Black designers who are making strides. Noel has been featured in Vogue multiple times. She was one of three designers who teamed up with Lebron James and Harlem’s Fashion Row for a historic Nike collaboration. Her aesthetics is consistent and easily recognizable to anyone interested in paying attention. The work of the Fe Noels of the world should be celebrated beyond the black community because they’re stylish, they’re important, and more often than not they were probably here first. Editors Note: HelloBeautiful reached out to both Fe Noel and representatives for Ulla Johnson regarding the similarities in the designs. Neither party responded to requests for comment at the time of publication. DON’T MISS: Will Rihanna’s Deal With LVMH Be The Key To More Black Women In Fashion?
