by

According to reports, hundreds of Post Malone’s new Raising Cane’s collector’s cups have been stolen. The limited edition cups were launched last week. Sadly, over $6,000 worth of them were recently taken from a restaurant located in The Galleria Mall in Houston. A Houston PD report says that 249 of the cups were stolen on June 22, resulting in a $6,150 loss. The report further reveals that the thieves also stole dish soap and griddle cleaning pads from the location.

“We’re happy to bring a little bit of that love to every Cane’s across the country,” Post Malone wrote on Twitter upon the launch. He continued, “starting today, June 21st, with the launch of 4 limited edition Collector’s Cups.” The rapper added, “Cups are limited so get yours fast,” alongside a smiley emoji. There are four cup designs, each featuring QR codes that allow fans an opportunity to win merch, trips, and tickets.

Raising Cane’s Launched Post Malone’s Cups Last Week

Earlier this year, Post Malone custom-designed a Raising Cane’s near his home in Utah. The bright pink Midvale location showcases imagery of the rapper’s tattoos on the outside of the building, and several of his belongings are displayed on the restaurant’s walls. The special location was opened in April. “Collaborating with Todd [Graves] and being part of the Raising Cane’s brand with our collab restaurant and signature cups has been a fun experience,” Post Malone revealed in a press release. He continued, “I can’t wait for fans across the country to ‘Post Up’ their combos, see these cups in person, and build out their signature Posty cup collection.”

Earlier this week, the rapper shared some new details about his upcoming album, Austin. He revealed that the LP will feature 17 tracks, providing fans with a sneak-peak at one of them alongside the full tracklist and cover art. Post Malone additionally confirmed that Austin will be released on July 28, 2023. Last month, he also announced his “If Y’all Weren’t Here, I’d Be Crying” tour. The summer 2023 tour features 24 dates across the U.S.

MGA Seeking $6 Million From T.I. For “Misconduct” In OMG Girlz Lawsuit

by

According to legal documents obtained by Billboard, MGA Entertainment is now seeking $6 million from T.I. The news follows T.I. and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, losing a lawsuit against the company last month. The pair had claimed that the company used the likeness of a teen pop girl group created by Tiny in 2009, the OMG Girlz, as inspiration for their popular doll collection. Tiny called the verdict “horrible” following the news.

Now, MGA is firing back. The company’s lawyers claim the lawsuit was handled improperly, and they are looking to be reimbursed for hefty legal fees. “The OMG Girlz’ litigation tactics, over-reaching claims, and misconduct — including violating one of this Court’s … rulings as to require a mistrial — justify awarding MGA the over $6.1million in fees spent litigating this matter,” the lawyers wrote.

MGA’s lawyers continued, “Both in the manner the OMG Girlz litigated this case, and the weakness of the substantive claims and theories the OMG Girlz presented (as confirmed by the jury), the Court should conclude that this case stands out from others.”

The legal battle saw the pair accuse MGA of modeling their “L.O.L. Surprise OMG Girls” dolls after the group. “The animated OMG Dolls copy the OMG Girl distinctive physical appearance, hair styles and hair colors, dress and mimic the OMG Girl released sound recordings,” T.I. and Tiny’s lawsuit against MGA read. The couple also accused the company of racism, attempting to convince a jury that the dolls showcase “cultural appropriation and outright theft of the intellectual property.” MGA’s legal team claimed the trial was unfair due to these racism accusations, and it was later ruled a mistrial. MGA’s Chief Executive Officer, Isaac Larian, said that he “feels great” following the verdict.
