Times Square, the epicenter of entertainment with a palpable energy, is unmatched. Roc Nation and our partners are here to ensure Times Square remains connected to all facets of culture.

Kanye West Disses Adidas During “Vultures” Listening Event In China
Kanye West held up a middle finger as his fans chanted “F**k Adidas” during his Vultures listening event in China over the weekend. After doing so, he joked, “I hope that was okay,” before launching into a performance of his iconic track, “All Falls Down” from 2004’s The College Dropout. He was referencing the government’s strict laws about obscenity.
It’s far from the first time he’s publically criticized the company. He previously led a crowd in South Korea on a “f*ck Adidas” chant while performing another Vultures event in August. Adidas cut ties with West back in October 2022 after he went on an infamous antisemitic tirade on social media. Earlier this year, he made headlines for going off on the company on Instagram. “F*ck adidas and everybody who works there or with them. Anyone who goes to school with anyone who’s parents work at adidas. Just know they tried to destroy me and here we are with the number 1 song in the world,” he wrote back in March. He also claimed they’re suing him for over $200 million.

Damon Dash Earns Key Legal Victory Against Sexual Assault Accuser
Damon Dash won his latest legal battle after a judge rejected Monique Bunn’s attempt at getting a new trial in her case against the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder, as caught by AllHipHop. She previously accused him of sexual assault and of stealing over 100,000 photographs she had stored on various hard drives.
Despite a jury ruling against her federal court, they did find Dame guilty of defamation, which resulted in a $30,000 award for Bunn. Her lawyer, Christopher Brown, attempted to argue that the verdict went against the reality of the evidence and that the pictures were worth far more than that. U.S. District Judge Dolly M. Gee has now ruled that the argument is insufficient.

Damon Dash Arrives At “The Prince Of Detroit” Premiere
Bunn’s case isn’t the only legal drama Dame has been battling in recent months. In order to settle a judgment he owes to filmmaker Josh Weber over a dispute regarding the movie Dear Frank, Dame is being forced to sell off his shares in Roc-A-Fella Records. It hasn’t proven to be as easy as it sounds, however, as JAY-Z has been attempting to block him from doing so. In a legal notice, last month, he confirmed that the copyright for Reasonable Doubt will officially belong to him in 2031. Dame fired back at the move on Instagram: “They can say what they want, this shit is still for sale. You’re not buying a copyright, you’re buying a piece of a company ROC A FELLA INC. Please only serious inquiries only!”
In other news, Dame has been feuding on social media with 50 Cent. 50 had taken a jab at him and his financial woes during an appearance on the Million Dollarz Worth of Game podcast. Be on the lookout for further updates on Damon Dash on HotNewHipHop.
