BOSSIP Exclusive: Photog Says Kendrick Lamar Stole His Pic To Promote “To Pimp A Butterfly”

Giordano Cipriani Says Kendrick Lamar Took His Photo Of Woman Breastfeeding To Promote Single “Blacker The Berry” Without Permission A photographer accused Kendrick Lamar of ripping off his work without paying him a dime — and now the man has filed a federal lawsuit demanding he immediately stop and pay up, BOSSIP has learned. Giordano Cipriani sued Kendrick Lamar, Interscope Records and Aftermath Entertainment, alleging Kendrick stole one of his photos of a mother breastfeeding her child and used it to promote his single “The Blacker the Berry,” off of his second album, “To Pimp A Butterfly.” Cipriani said he shot the photo in 2011 in Africa, and said the rapper never asked for permission to use the picture nor did the record labels pay him for it, according to the suit, filed July 10 in New York Federal Court. He is demanding an injunction against Kendrick to stop him from continuing to rip off his work, along with damages for the unauthorized use of his photo. Cipriani is a freelance photographer who has had his art featured in numerous publications, and he earns his living by licensing the rights to his work. Giordano Cipriani says Kendrick Lamar used his photo of a woman breastfeeding to promote his single, “The Blacker The Berry” without permission or payment. The suit states that when Kendrick released his album “To Pimp a Butterfly” in March of this year, he used Cipriani’s photo to promote his single, “The Blacker The Berry” on his Youtube and Facebook pages. Ciprani wants Kendrick to pay him $150,000 for each time the photograph was used, as well as pay his lawyer fees. We’ve reached out to Kendrick Lamar’s management for comment.

Baby Mama Drama: Nia Guzman Claps Back At Reports That She’s Running Breezy’s Pockets Over Baby Royalty

Nia Guzman Blasts Chris Brown Child Support Rumors On Instagram Nia Guzman is speaking out for the first time on her baby mama drama with Chris Brown. Royalty’s mom is fed up with assumptions and went on record — via social media of course — to reveal the truth about her and Breezy’s child support arrangement. This comes right on the heels of Chris’ own court filing to establish paternity of Baby Royalty and have some legal footing to fight Nia’s crazy demands on. Via TMZ : Chris Brown has had it with baby mama Nia Guzman’s child support and custody demands, so he’s asking a judge to lay down the law once and for all. Chris and Nia have been at war over 1-year-old Royalty. She’s demanding $15k a month in child support, way more than Chris says is fair. We’ve learned Chris just filed legal docs in Houston to establish paternity. That will give him the right to fight Nia over support and custody. Chis has been paying Nia what he believes is a fair amount — she claims he’s been paying $2,500 a month. He wants a judge to set the figure, which he’s confident will be closer to his number than hers. Chris also wants a judge to establish clear custody guidelines. He says Nia has been denying him the right to see his daughter, so he wants a judge to set her straight. After that news broke (followed by an avalanche of online slander) Nia decided to counter claims that she’s unsatisfied with the $2,500 a month in child support that Chris has been giving her and is instead demanding $15k a month to care for their one-year-old daughter, and pulling stunts on Chris to get her way. Hit the flip to see what she had to say:

Sherri Shepherd Must Pay HOW MUCH in Child Support?

At best, Sherri Shepherd’s child custody and support case has been complicated. Sherri and her ex-husband, Lamar Sally, have been battling over custody and financial responsibility for their baby born via surrogate last year. What makes this case unique though is that once Lamar and Sherri split, Sherri went back-and-forth over whether or not she wanted anything to do with their surrogate baby. Eventually, she decided she did not want any responsibility for the child.  But, in April, a judge declared Sherri Shepherd the legal mother of the baby. Now, the former View co-host has to live up to that obligation by paying $4,100 per month in child support. The baby is currently 10 months-old.  Sherri will have to pay $4,1000 a month until Lamar Jr. is 13-years-old. When the child turns 13, the payment will increase to $4,6000 a month. The case definitely didn’t pan out the way Shepherd had wished.  But she is still able to move forward with a fraud claim against her estranged husband. She claims the request for child support is fraudulent.  If the courts agree, she will no longer be required to pay support. Shepherd is also asking that the remaining embryos she shared with Lamar be destroyed. Lamar is “undecided” about whether or not to keep the embryos.  However, the agreement stands that if any of the remaining embryos are brought to term, Shepherd has no financial responsibility.

Beyonce And Jay Z Rumored To Be Pregnant Via Surrogate Is Blue Ivy about to be a big sister ? Rumor has it (yet again) that Beyonce and Jay Z are expecting their second child…but this time the buzz is that she’s using a surrogate and planning to be very upfront about the process. As an inside source close to the Carters revealed to InTouch Weekly : “[Jay Z and Beyonce] are in the process of having a baby through a surrogate.” “They were trying for several months, but Beyoncé was having trouble. She was scared about another high-risk pregnancy, so surrogacy became the best decision for them.” “They didn’t want to take any more risks, so after all the ironclad legal documents were drawn up, it took them about two months to find the perfect woman to carry their child.” So why haven’t we heard anything from Beyonce’s own lips on the matter? “The surrogate is still in the early stages of the pregnancy, so they have yet to announce it to the public.” The source goes on to say the the Carter’s rumored marital issues really had Jay pushing for Bey to give Blue a sibling, so they could tighten their bond as a family and as a couple. “Jay’s been pushing Beyoncé into having another baby to bring them closer together, but he’s also been very protective of her and didn’t want her to take any chances. He wants to make sure everything goes smoothly.” Hmmm…the Carters seem slightly more careful than to have people in their circle that would blab their business this way, so we’re taking this news with a HEFTY grain of salt. Bey managed to drop an entire album and 16 videos without anyone being aware — we’d think that if this were true she’d be able to keep things under wraps until SHE made the announcement.

Ain’t Isht Daddies: Toddler Dies After Father Leaves Her Inside Hot Car For 24 hrs While Having Father’s Day Drinks With Friends

Baltimore Man Leaves 2-Year-Old Daughter In Hot Car For 24 Hours A Baltimore man is in police custody now after leaving his 2-year-old daughter in his car while he drank and partied with friends on father’s day. The toddler died from exposure to high temperatures while closed inside the vehicle with the windows up from Sunday afternoon until the following day. Via MailOnline : A Baltimore man has been charged with homicide after police say he left his 2-year-old daughter strapped to her car sear inside his hot car for 24 hours while he went drinking. Wilbert Carter, 31, told police he went out drinking Sunday with friends as temperatures reached a scorching 89 degrees. He later went home alone at 7am. When he awoke Monday at 4pm, he realized his daughter Leasia Carter was missing. He found her unresponsive in his car, which was parked down the street. She was rushed to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead after police say she sat in Carter vehicle with the windows rolled up for at least 24 hours. Raven Jenkins witnessed the horrific moment Carter discovered his daughter in the car. ‘He’s walking down the street. He’s crying,’ Jenkins told WBAL. ‘He’s got a little kid in his hand, a lady comes out of the house or walks out the street and they just start screaming.’ Carter told police he’d been drinking on Sunday, but was apparently unsure for how long or when he parted ways with his daughter. When questioned by police, Carter said he had sole custody of the little girl at the time of her death. He was charged Monday with child abuse and homicide. So sad. How do you manage to forget that you never dropped your child off with a sitter or family member? And especially with sole custody…who exactly did he think was putting the child to bed the night before and feeding her the next morning?
