Lil Wayne Sued For $2.5 Mil Over “Mrs. Officer”

(AllHipHop News) Lil Wayne may end up in front of a judge again, but this time to defend himself against a copyright infringement lawsuit.

 

The Royalty Network filed a $2.5 million dollar lawsuit against Lil Wayne and Cash Money Records in Manhattan Federal Court yesterday (February 17).

 

According to the lawsuit, “Mrs. Officer” was produced by Darius “Deezle” Harrison, who claimed he owns the rights the song.

 

Harrison seeks all profits that have been derived from “Mrs. Officer”, which also featured R&B crooner Bobby Valentino and rapper Kidd Kidd.

 

“Mrs. Officer” peaked at #2 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Tracks chart was one of the popular singles off of Tha Carter III, which sold over a million copies the first week it was in stores.

 

Harrison, who also hails from New Orleans, also helped produce six other songs on Tha Carter III and has worked with artists like Kanye West, Yung Joc, Birdman, Teena Marie and others.

Rapping Soldier Denied Transfer Request in Court Martial Hearing

(AllHipHop News) Negative fallout over a controversial rap song made by a Fort Stewart soldier continued Wednesday (February 17).

 

A federal court judge denied Spc. Marc Hall’s request to keep his court-martial trial in the U.S., and allowed the Army to transfer him to Kuwait to face for the proceedings.

 

The ruling, which was announced via a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, resulted after the court “found that it was bound by longstanding precedent in abstaining from court-martial proceedings against service personnel.”

 

Wednesday’s decision by Chief Federal District Court Judge William T. Moore, Jr. is the latest development in the ongoing case against Hall, who is facing court-martial over charges of making threats against other soldiers in this song, “Stop Loss.”

 

Media sources report the song was written as Hall’s response to being “stop-lossed” from being discharged and ordered to serve a second tour of Iraq. In the song, which was posted on Hall’s personal website and mailed to the Pentagon, Hall expresses his anger while rapping about going on a shooting spree.

 

The serviceman is charged with distributing “original songs wrongfully threatening acts of violence against members of his unit,” as well as “conduct prejudicial to the good order and discipline of the armed forces,” and threatening to “go on a rampage” against his commanders.

 

A habeas corpus petition for a temporary restraining order to prevent the Hall’s deployment to Kuwait for the court-martial proceedings was filed by the soldier’s attorneys on Monday (Feb. 15).

 

According to the petition, the move would violate their client’s right to a fair trial as well as “significantly compromise his ability to defend himself.”

 

Hall is currently serving time in Liberty County Jail outside Fort Stewart, where has been since being charged in December.

 

The Army plans to hold Hall’s court-marital in Iraq, where prosecution witnesses in his unit are now located. Despite the restraining order being denied, officials say that Hall’s petition is still active in district court.

whispered in our ear. Read on.CHANCE ENCOUNTERSHere are some good old rumors from Chance…DIVERSIFY YO BONDS NI**A

While Akon is able to retire off Lady GaGa’s success apparently she doesn’t even have a home.  Apparently she’s so focused on her art that she reinvests all of her money into her stage show and making music.  Hopefully all them funny outfits have a high resale value.  GaGa says:

“I don’t own a house, I don’t spend money on those things.  I live out of a suitcase and I make music and art and I spend every dollar that I make on stage – that’s it.”

She may want to consider hiring these guys to look after her cash.

RESPECT MY FRESH

Congratulations to Kid Cudi for being named the most stylish person in New York by Time Out New York Magazine.  Cudi says his style is really simple just like a cartoon characters because his personality is his best accessory (which is why he wears the same jeans everyday).  Do you think Time Out is on point??

BACKUP PLAN???

After six-figure fines for cursing referees out and posing naked it looks like Serena Williams is trying to make a little extra cash:

I KID I KID … She’s still good.  But Serena has recently enrolled in a 240-hour program to become a certified nail technician.  She says it’s in preparation to release a new nail line with HairTech.

ROGER THAT

In preparation for his 8 month bid Lil Wayne shot 9 music videos in 2 days a few weeks ago.  Here are some screenshots from the “Roger That” portion of that epic shoot.  Now that he’s been given a little extra time on the outside maybe he’ll shoot some more.

BOW TRIES TO PULL A ROBBERY

…all the Jersey Shore fans know what I mean.  Apparently Bow Wow and his ex-squeeze, Angela Simmons, were at the same club over the weekend and Bow was stuck to her like white on rice.  Word is he’s been talking about her a lot recently and really wants to get back with her.  Here’s where the robbery comes in.  She is rumored to be engaged to her current beau Skillz from Play-N-Skillz.

No word on whether she was receptive to her advances but sources say Vanessa flipped Mr. Wow the bird when he approached the younger Simmons.

I’M JUST SAYIN

If you didn’t already know Turk has been home for a few weeks now.  Now that everybody is free (for the time being) can we get something from the Hot Boyz???

Shouts to Currency and Smoke Dza for putting me on to weed brownies…OMG!!!! 

Diddy says to get the Italian cut and stop rockin them funny a** Steve Harvey cut suits … or something like that.

Beyonce’s people have said rumors of a shoot-out after her concert in Brasil are false … cleared up.

WHERE THE CASH AT???

Beyonce’s daddy was ordered to pay his mistress $8,200 a month in child support, even though he doesn’t even take the DNA test until March 1.  How does that work out?

SOMEBODY, WE LOVE

YOU!!!

BRIT AWARDS RUMORS

There was a time when I had several UK sources, but they all but dried up…until today! My homey Wesey hit me up with some rumors and sightings from the Brit Awards. Check it out:

Whats good Illseed, so I was at the 30th Year of the BRIT Awards in London, England last night. I was in the pit at the front of the stage so I could see everything that has happening. So heres the news/rumours that I managed to dig out.

Jay-Z won Best International Artist, during his acceptance speech he took time to mention memorable moments for him in the UK, 1 being Glastonbury where he said “you accepted Hip-Hop” at whats mainly a rock festival. So the next award for Best British Album of Past 30 Years went to Oasis (who if you remember had a problem with Jay-Z performing at Glastonbury), well Liam Gallagher obviously got a bit p##### off with Jay-Z’s comment, he stormed on stage grabbed the mic and said something along the lines of “F###### good music will never die” taking a shot at Jay-Z, he then threw his mic into the crowd, people boo’ed him and later Security/BRIT Awards Officials took his award off him. Liam then apparently stormed out the building shouting all types of s### as usual. (LMAO FAIL!)

Lady Gaga was up for 3 awards being Best International Female, Best International Album, and Best Newcomer, she won ALL 3 and cried on stage ALL 3 times. Her performance on the other hand was a bit of a shock for the fans, everyone heard rumours of Beyonce joining Gaga for ‘Telephone’ instead she played a very verrrrrrrrry slow and painful track on the piano which left the crowd confused. BUT she did living it up a little bit by playing an MPC and a Guitar joined together at almost the same time.

Dizzee Rascal did a duet with Florence and the Machine, great set and Dizzee made it rain dollar bills with his face on from the sky, was a nice touch and nearly started a fight with the crowd.

Jay-Z brought out Alicia Keys to do Empire State of Mind which was performed really well, Jay had a live band with all white instruments and the Blueprint 3 logo on the drumkit, Jay had a lot of energy on the stage and was good to see, Alicia looks sexy as hell as always but thats not really news.

As far as I can remember that is all from the BRIT Awards Hip-Hop related.

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

Some boxer got into a fight in Dallas All-Star and hospitalized a man. I wonder who it was?

LOL the Nicki Minaj is preggers rumors…lol….come on y’al!

Speaking of Play-N-Skillz, rumor has it Bow Wow may be trying to yank his old flame Angela Simmons from Skillz’s clutches.

More later!

BOW WOW, WE LOVE YOU!!!

They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!
