On August 24th, Lil Wayne was supposed to be at a deposition where he would answer questions about his settlement with Birdman of Cash Money Records. According to lawyer Ronald Sweeney, the rapper opted out of the appointment, and is seemingly refusing to cooperate.

Sweeney actually used to be Weezy’s lawyer after Cortez Bryant was fired, although VladTV reports he’s currently suing the “Phone Home” singer for $20 million. The former believes that the latter “stiffed him on commissions he was owed.”

Funnily enough, Lil Wayne also has a suit filed against his former lawyer, also for $20 million, alleging that Sweeney overcharged him for legal services for several years.

Documents from the court reveal that the New Orleans-born star has been dodging the bullet for awhile now by simply refusing to provide available dates for the aforementioned deposition to take place.

Apparently, Wayne’s team has no intentions of scheduling a time until the judge rules a motion to dismiss Sweeney’s $20 million suit.

Recently, Birdman sat down for an interview on the Big Facts podcast, during while he opened up about the financial beef that he and Lil Wayne were able to squash.

“I went to his house on New Year’s Eve two years ago, and I said, ‘Let’s put this shit behind us. How much [money] do you want?’” Birdman said, then going on to claim that he paid Weezy back $20 million more than asked.

The Cash Money Records head honcho also revealed that he once gave Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj between $300 – $500 million each to help support them as they built their careers. Talk about generous.

On the bright side, Tunechi just teamed up with Rich The Kid for the collaborative album “Trust Fund Babies,” which you can listen to here.

The rumours are true, even our favourite celebrities get star struck from time to time. Over the weekend, Lizzo was one of the many faces in the crowd at Bow Wow’s Millennium Tour in Los Angeles. While hanging out backstage, she crossed paths with Chris Brown, which sent her into a frenzy.

“Can I get a picture with you because you’re my favourite person in the whole f*cking world,” the “Juice” singer can be heard gushing in a clip that’s surfaced from the evening.

Lizzo and her pals (all wearing beautiful Burberry) crowded around Brown for the photo op, which has been circulating on Twitter and receiving plenty of criticism.

As you may know, Brown has built something of a negative reputation for himself over the years. There was the 2009 felony assault charge he faced after attacking Rihanna, and in 2018, an anonymous woman filed a lawsuit against him alleging that she had been sexually assaulted by rapper Young Lo while partying at Brown’s home.

In June of this year, the “With You” singer was placed under police investigation after a woman was allegedly physically assaulted at his house. For some, hearing Lizzo calling a man with such a reputation her “favourite” was hurtful, and they didn’t hesitate to share their feelings with Twitter.

Others, however, were quick to come to Lizzo’s defence, questioning why people wanted to cancel her, but not the dozens of other artists who have collaborated with/shown love to Brown over the years.

As one person pointed out, Rihanna has since collaborated with him since their major blowout, and has even posted snippets on Instagram of her listening to his songs, so it’s safe to assume she’s not as hung up as outsiders may think.

What do you think of Lizzo’s link up with Chris Brown? Is she exhibiting problematic behaviour, or are fans reading too much into the situation?

Things will get messy when personal matters are brought to a public platform. Amber Rose and AE know that first hand. The former couple, who share a child together, ended up calling it quits earlier this year after AE confirmed that he was not faithful to Rose. To his credit, he did own up to his actions. Amber Rose, however, said that she was still in love with him, despite referring to him as a narcissist.

It’s been a few months since their relationship issues played out on social media but it seems like AE thought it was a good idea to revisit the debacle. The music exec took to his Instagram page where he shared a not-so-subliminal message about their falling out. He shared a post from Lil Duval who referred to cheating as “blessing in disguise.”

“Sometimes getting caught cheating is a blessing in disguise. Cuz if they didn’t catch you, you’d probably still be with the same person,” Duval’s tweet reads. AE shared it to his page with the caption reading, “God’s plan.”

Duval later elaborated on his tweet in the comment section of TheShadeRoom, writing, “Ladies look at it like this, you would’ve never met yo husband had you not caught the dude before him cheating.” 

Meanwhile, Amber Rose appeared to catch wind of the post and fired back with an interesting observation. “Finding out yo man a b*tch gotta be the worst gender reveal ever,” her post reads.

Check out Amber’s post below. 

Just a couple of weeks ago, it was reported that Andrew Wiggins was one of the more prominent stars in the NBA to not be vaccinated. This was a particularly large issue given the fact that he plays for the Golden State Warriors who are situated in a city that has vaccine mandates. Without two doses, Wiggins wouldn’t be able to play any home games, rendering him of no use to the franchise His vaccination status led to a ton of debate, and there was a fear that he would never get the jab.

Over the last week or so, Steph Curry and Draymond Green have commented on the situation, albeit in vastly different ways. Curry said that he wanted everyone to be safe, while Green said it was not his job to convince people of matters that have to do with personal health.

Now, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic, there are no longer any worries concerning Wiggins’ ability to suit up, as he is now fully vaccinated against COVID-19. After being denied a religious exemption, Wiggins decided to get the shot, and he will now have no issues when it comes to playing for the Warriors. 

There are still other unvaccinated stars in the league, so it will be interesting to see if they decide to follow suit. After all, their careers could very well depend on it.

Kodak Black is one of the most outspoken rappers in the game right now, which has often played to his detriment. The Florida rapper’s vocal support for Donald Trump, among other things, has led him into the fiery pits of controversy. Last weekend, Kodak Black attempted to reignite the spark between him and City Girls’ rapper Yung Miami during a live performance.

He may have failed to shoot his shot but it seems like he wants to offer her a sincere apology. During what appeared to be an intoxicated rant on Twitter, the rapper shared an apology to Miami in a since-deleted, largely incriminating tweet. “Ain’t mean to disrespect you I cry tears I’m sorry @yungmiami305 um turnt up on a pill,” he tweeted. Just days prior, we reported that he failed his drug test, so maybe he should’ve left that last part out.

Miami wasn’t the only person to receive an apology from Yak. The rapper offered a public apology to anyone he’s ever offended in the past. “Please everyone forgive me if I ever offended you, sorry to anyone I’ve wronged,” he wrote in one tweet. “I might be hard to understand sometimes & make some mistakes but nevertheless, I mean good,” he added.

While we’ve yet to hear from Yung Miami, it seems like Kodak Black is trying to do right. Following the death of WizDaWizard, Kodak Black made a public request to Jackboy to squash their feud.
