Chris Brown

Chris Brown is currently stuck in the Philippines, unable to leave the country. He tried to leave a few days ago, but according to TMZ his plane was stopped on the tarmac. It’s the result of a legal dispute that’s been in the works for months.

Brown was supposed to perform at a New Year’s Eve concert in Manila. According to the promoters, he collected his million-dollar fee and then never showed up. They want a refund on their deposit, and have successfully petitioned the government to keep Brown in the country until he gives in to their demands.

“He is still in the country,” Immigration bureau spokeswoman Elaine Tan told the Associated Press, adding that Brown has not applied for the emigration clearance he needs to be allowed to leave the country.

Ever since Meek Mill set off a firestorm last night suggesting Drake did not write his own material, the rappers #1 collaborator Noah “40” Shebib, is coming to his defense.

The Canadian hitmaker, who has worked with Drake since the beginning of his career, took to Twitter to address Meek’s that a ghostwriter penned Drake’s verse on “R.I.C.O.” In a series of tweets, the press-shy producer acknowledged that the alleged ghostwriter, Quentin Miller, contributed to Drake’s mixtape If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late and is also credited for it. However, that does not take away from Drizzy’s accomplishments as a writer.

“I see da foolishness,” Hitman wrote in a supportive message to Drake. “You know me and Showw not buying it. U our guy. Keep killing. You motivate ni**as like us!”

The Missouri rapper quoted lyrics from Drake’s “5 AM in Toronto”: “I show love, never get the same outta ni**as / I guess it’s funny how money can make change out of ni**as foreal.”

Drizzy responded with the praying hands emoji, adding, “I signed up for greatness. This comes with it.”

CASH MONEY SUES TIDAL FOR $50 MILLION OVER LIL WAYNE

Posted on by

According to TMZ, Birdman has filed suit against Jay Z for $50 million, and it’s all over Lil Wayne.

Cash Money Records is suing Jay Z’s streaming service TIDAL for streaming Lil Wayne’s album FWA. Cash Money claims it has exclusive rights to Wayne’s music and TIDAL is an illegal intermeddler.

In the lawsuit, Cash Money calls out TIDAL for resorting to “a desperate and illegal attempt to save their struggling streaming service.”

TIDAL responds to the claim, saying that Cash Money does not have an exclusive lock on Weezy and that he gave it the right to stream his music, in return for ownership stake in the company.

However, Cash Money begs to differ and cites its contract with Wayne, which specifically states Wayne does not have the power to license his music to anyone else.

Cash Money also takes shots at Wayne’s FWA, saying it got “tepid reviews” and could hurt Cash Money’s attempts to exploit Wayne’s music.

Just yesterday, Birdman was named in an indictment involving the April shooting of Lil Wayne’s tour buses. In January, Wayne filed suit against Birdman and Cash Money for $51 million.
