EXCLUSIVE: Gospel Group Sues Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre Over "3 Kings"; Labels Song "Vulgar"
(AllHipHop News) A pair of gospel songwriters are lashing out at superstar rappers Rick Ross, Dr. Dre and Jay-Z in a new copyright lawsuit over their song “3 Kings.”
The lawsuit was filed yesterday (February 6) against the trio, as well as producer Jake One and Universal Music Group, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
The lawsuit was filed by Clara Shepherd Warrick and Jimmy Lee Weary, who owns the rights to the song “I’m So Grateful (Keep In Touch).”
The song was released in 1976 and featured on an album titled God Save The Children, by a gospel singing group, named The Crowns of Glory.
According to the lawsuit, Rick Ross failed to get the proper permission to include the sample on “3 Kings,” which is featured on his album God Forgives I Don’t.
The lawsuit claims that Rick Ross’ album lists Jimmy Lee Weary as one of the writers of the song, but he was never come contacted for permission or compensated.
The lawsuit claims that a video for “3 Kings” was widely circulated, garnering millions of views, contributing to the success of the song.
But Warrick and Weary took issue with the rappers and the contents of the song and video.
“The video includes very graphic depictions of drug use, vulgarity, nudity, gun violence, criminal conduct, actions demeaning to women and many other items that are certainly inconsistent with Plaintiffs’ wishes for how Plaintiffs’ song would be portrayed,” the lawsuit reads.
Warrick and Weary’s lawsuit also claims that the “3 Kings” song is largely responsible for the success of Rick Ross’ album, God Forgives I Don’t, which has spawned a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album of The Year.
“Once the Grammy Awards are broadcast, the listeners will be alerted to existence of Plaintiffs song, at which time it will be subjected worldwide to irreparable harm of being linked to defendant’s song.”
Warrick and Weary are calling for immediate action, including an injunction to prevent further distribution, performance, or commercial sale of the song.
They are suing for copyright infringement, unfair trade practices, unfair competition by misappropriation, conversion and unjust enrichment.
Warrick and Weary are seeking an undetermined amount in damages.

Love & Hip Hop's Mendeecees Harris Testifies in Teen Sex Trial
(Allhiphop News) Things are only getting worse for Love & Hip Hop co-star Mendeecees Harris. Earlier this week he was indicted for drug charges and today he’s taken the stand to defend himself in a child molestation case.
Harris is charged with allegedly have a sexual relationship with the daughter of a live-in girlfriend whom he shared a home with in Lodi, NJ. During cross-examination Harris proclaimed his innocence.
“I never had a relationship with her, she never extended herself,” said Harris, taking the stand in his own defense. “She didn’t play basketball, she didn’t play Playstation, didn’t want to go to the movies.
“She always walked around the house like she had an attitude,” he said.
“That’s the truth – never, never – I never committed none of them acts to that girl in my life.”
The victim, who was 15 at the time of the incident, moved in with Harris and her mother who had already been living together for three years.
The woman, now 19, testified this week that Harris told her she was “better than [her] mother” after coercing her into oral sex by revealing his knowledge of a dark secret from her past. “He told me he knew I had been raped when I was 8 years old,” she said, “and he found out from my mother.
Present during the testimony was Harris’ current girlfriend and baby mother Yandy Smith, who was flanked with an entourage at all time.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Beyonce Wants Ugly Pix Off The Net! Kim West? NOPE!
YO! The internets are funny. Apparently, some sites took the time and the liberty to take screen grabs of Beyonce as she performed. You know the foolery that comes out of that. They have B looking all sorts of crazy! Well, it seems her legal team is on it! Rhymes With Snitch reports the following:
Beyonce’s publicist has been busy sending letters to websites asking them to take down unflattering photos of Beyonce from her Super Bowl Halftime Show…
Celebuzz received this note asking them to remove the offending photos and instead of taking the pictures down, they posted the email and re-posted the pictures. Burn!
KIM WEST? NAH B.
Rumors say that Kanye West is p##### that Kim Kardashian won’t change her name to West when they get married. What the? Marriage? Here is the rumor…sorry source…I don’t know where its from.
“There’s trouble in paradise for Kim Kardashian andKanye West,” begins a piece from Star, which reports that an “old-fashioned” West “wants the pregnant star to change her name to Kim West once they presumably marry.”
According to the mag, not only has Kardashian said “no way” to taking the rapper’s last name, “But she may want their baby to have her name too!”
A purported “insider” for the tabloid claims, “Kim told him she’ll always be a Kardashian,” revealing, “Kanye is very disappointed and upset about the whole thing, but Kim is refusing to budge.”

WTF! This 17 year old is gonna get it!! This is crazy! Read the report from the AP.
Mexico City, Mexico — Mexican authorities say a 9-year-old girl has given birth in western Mexico and they are looking for the purported father, a 17-year-old.

Gonzalez said Wednesday that the girl’s family alerted authorities after she gave birth and the alleged father has not been seen since in the neighborhood the both live in. He says that if the teenager’s paternity is proven he could face child sex abuse charges.
MEANWHILE, IN ARGENTINA….12 year old gives birth to twins.

The girl, who was not named, gave birth just weeks after celebrating her 12th birthday, The Sun reported.
The babies were delivered through the Caesarean section five weeks premature.
The girl’s family only became aware she was expecting when a teacher at her school became suspicious of her growing belly.
Police have launched a child abuse probe after the incident in Chilecito, Santa Fe, around 1,000 km from the capital Buenos Aires.
Officers have quizzed two youths aged 16 and 20 in connection with the pregnancy.
