Sleek sued 50 after a 2011 deal with the Queens native for “Sleek by 50” collapsed. The company also claimed that 50 stole their product design and confidential private client information from a Sleek developed website.
Court documents stated that Sleek reached out to 50’s associates about the client information, and his personal business manager Nicolee Martin reportedly wrote, “[Sleek] is onto us, LOL. They emailed and called … about the data.”
An arbitrator previously sided with Sleek which led to an interim agreement for Sleek to receive $11,693,247 in damages. 50 fought to not have to pay those fees, but another ruling came down this week that the rapper must pay the $11.7 million plus an additional $4,488,331 in attorney’s fees – a grand total of $16,181,578.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Mase Trick His Congregation?
Uh oh. The latest word on the streets of the internet has suggested strongly that Ma$e may have perpetrated a fraud in the Christian community. He and his wife Twyla have been the Pastor and First Lady of Mason Betha Ministries. But the latest is saying that the reality is different from the perception. Well, now we know that Ma$e filed for divorce earlier this year, but reportedly took it all back to keep the love alive. But, now TMZ is stating that the wife Twyla filed for legal separation about two years ago on the West Coast. They are supposed to be in Atlanta! She allegedly got as far away from her man as possible. But, TMZ takes it a step farther, charging that Ma$e and Twyla continued to act like they were together and sold church goers books and DVDs and whatever they could. I wonder how true this is. One this is for certain, this is a very strange series of events.

“When I create and when we create, it’s not based off of the word you hear all the time – ‘celebrity advertising,'” Ye tells the audience. “It’s nothing I love more than to sit there and put the fabrics together, and think about the way people react to the creations in real life.”
Kanye goes on to talk about his partnership with Adidas, and his drive to constantly make new products despite what critics think about him.
“This is the company that was experienced and brave enough to give me the opportunity to create. So all the so-called ranting that you ever heard was ‘if you are creative, that means you’re oxygen,'” added Kanye. “Creativity is my oxygen. I have to create, and I don’t care how crazy I look to anyone as long as I can make the best product for all of you.”
