Travis Scott & Sabrina Carpenter Sales Battle Finally Crowns A Winner

by

Travis Scott and Sabrina Carpenter are both mega stars in their respective genres. The latter has more recently become one, thanks to smash singles such as “Espresso”, “Please Please Please”, and “Feather”. The former of the two are on her latest album Short n’ Sweet, which saw its release on August 23. That happened to be the same Friday that Travis Scott would go on to reissue his beloved 2014 mixtape DAYS BEFORE RODEO. Since then, multiple updates have come through in regard to the final sales projections. Originally, Sabrina was ahead by 100,000 units about five days ago. However, thanks to the power of bundling, as well as deluxe and alternate editions, that all quickly changed. Scott was then aiming to both surpass the pop phenom and achieve the best first week for any hip-hop album in 2024.

Sadly, for him and his fans, Sabrina was able to make Nicki Minaj and her Barbz proud. According to a report from Billboard via Luminate, Short n’ Sweet was able to eek by DAYS BEFORE RODEO by a mere 1,000 units. The final tally is 362,000 to 361,000. Congratulations are in order for the Pennsylvania singer and songwriter, as this is her first top 10 charting project and it’s also the third largest debut of 2024. With this, it’s safe to say she’s here to stay for the long haul.

As for Travis Scott, it was a case of just too little too late, if you even want to say that. The final push over the last couple of days was quite extraordinary, and it goes to show that how coveted of a tape DAYS BEFORE RODEO truly is. Initially, 190,000 physical sales were projected to be the case when the 12-song set was on pace for 217,000 overall. Now, that number has jumped to 331,000, making it the second-biggest sales week of 2024. Of course, both projects will debut at number one and number two respectively once the charts update.

Adidas Wins Class Action Lawsuit Involving Kanye West’s Antisemitic Comments & More

by

It appears that Adidas is coming out with a pretty major win in court. According to an exclusive piece from AllHipHop, the sneaker and apparel giant is avoiding potentially hefty lawsuit from company investors. This legal battle has been going on for over a year now and it stems Adidas not voicing the internal concerns about Kanye West to the public. The HRSA-ILA were the ones responsible for filing the suit and they felt that the German shoe company was specifically keeping Ye’s conduct under wraps from 2013-2018. Overall, Adidas won this lawsuit thanks to there not be enough solid evidence “showing misleading statements that could have swayed investor choices”.

“Certainly, that Ye allegedly engaged in such behavior while working with adidas is troubling. This Court does not condone what Ye allegedly did. But the question before this Court is not whether to admonish Ye or hold Adidas morally accountable for Ye’s conduct”, Judge Karin J. Immergut said. Later, she went on to question, “This Court is faced with a precise legal question: has [HRSA-ILA Funds] sufficiently pleaded facts showing that Adidas misled investors and thereby committed federal securities fraud? On the current record before this Court, the answer is no”.

The HRSA-ILA was a firm believer that Adidas knew about how ugly this partnership could have gone with Kanye West since 2013. If you remember, there were some truly odd and outlandish things that Ye did early on in his tenure with the three stripes. That included the Georgia MC having executives watch adult films at his Manhattan apartment and him drawing a sw***ka on a shoe during a meeting in Germany. Of course, things then spiraled further when he went on his various anti-Semitic rants in the 2020s.

What are your thoughts on Adidas winning its class action lawsuit involving Kanye West’s volatile behavior? Is this a surprising outcome to you, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.
