JAY-Z’s Handling Of Dame Dash’s Roc-A-Fella Sale Slammed As “Extremely Damaging” By NYC Lawyers

by

JAY-Z is facing legal backlash from The City of New York through its Department of Social Services for his handling of Dame Dash’s attempt to sell off his stake in Roc-A-Fella. Gerald E. Singleton, an attorney for The City, has requested a pre-motion conference and stay of the auction sale. The move comes after JAY’s bombshell claim that copyright ownership of Reasonable Doubt will revert back to him in 2031 regardless of who buys Dame’s shares.

“JAY-Z has issued widely publicized statements warning potential bidders that copyright ownership will revert back to him in 2031,” Singleton wrote in a letter to Judge Robert W. Lehrburger, as caught by AllHipHop. “Those statements are false and extremely damaging to the City’s interests in ensuring that the auction will generate sufficient funds to satisfy all existing child support arrearages and secure future child support payments.” Additionally, lawyers for Roc-A-Fella are allegedly withholding critical royalty information, for which Singleton said The City will likely file motions for turnover orders against the company. “The auction should be conducted in a manner that will bring the highest price for the benefit of affected judgment creditors,” Singleton added.

Dame weighed in on the latest update on Instagram on Sunday night, denying the validity of JAY-Z’s recent claims. “The State of NY has stepped in and filed the following to the courts… Jay-Z’s statements to the press have poisoned the environment for the auction,” he began. “He has claimed that he has a termination right under the Copyright Act and that the rights to Reasonable Doubt will revert to him in six years. In fact, he has no such termination right and RAF is entitled to the renewal term, which is now 67 years,meaning it will own the copyright rights until the year 2098. In other words, the highest possible auction price could be more than ten times higher than is likely now, given Jay-Z’s and RAF actions. RAF is complicit by its inaction in pushing back against such false statements.”

Future is a legendary artist whose legacy in the rap game has been cemented. Overall, you would be hard-pressed to find an artist more influential to the artist of today, than Future. His flow and use of melody has proven to be the blueprint over the last decade or so. However, he is still out here making great music. He dropped two collab tapes with Metro Boomin earlier this year, and on Friday, he dropped off the highly-anticipated Mixtape Pluto.

This project is getting quite a bit of love on social media so far. One track that seems to be getting attention is “Plutoski.” Once you hear this track, you will understand why this has been the case so far. It features some wild flows from Future, and one particular vocal quirk that has proven to be quite polarizing. Some are saying he’s a genius for it, others are calling him washed. But that is the beauty of Future. He tries new things, regardless of what the backlash might be.

Rappin’ and robbin’ again
Streets turned a boy to a millionaire, drinkin’ on lean again

Send out the lo’ and I’m pullin’ up, I got it on me again
Six in the mornin’ again

Lizzo Seems Unbothered (Delighted, Even) By Ozempic Allegations As Her Weight-Loss Journey Continues

In August, Lizzo said she’s taking a “gap year.” One thing she seems to be doing during this period is working through her weight-loss journey. Now, she’s seeing a sign that indicates people are noticing how her body is changing.

A September 20 Instagram carousel post from Lizzo includes a video of her striking poses with the on-screen text, “When you finally get ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.” The video is set to a trending audio, a clip from Django Unchained, of Christoph Waltz’s character Dr. King Schultz taking a gulp of beer before saying, “It’s like a reward.” The implication there is apparently that Lizzo takes that type of feedback as a compliment, as an indication that people are noticing her weight loss.

The post also includes a screenshot of an interaction Lizzo had with an Instagram user. The user commented on one of Lizzo’s posts, “did she use ozempic or did she snort coke.” Lizzo responded, “whyyyy do u follow me? [crying emojis].”

This comes after Lizzo was the subject of an Ozempic-related joke on South Park earlier this year. She said about that at the time, “That’s crazy. I just feel like, ‘Damn. I’m really that b*tch.’ I’m really that b*tch. I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f*ck to the point where these men in Colorado know who the f*ck I am. And put it on their cartoon, that’s been around for 25 years. I’m really that b*tch. And I showed y’all how to not give a f*ck and I’m going to keep showing y’all not to give a f*ck.”
