Sauti Sol Threatens To Sue Azimio Coalition Over ‘Copyright Infringement’

Popular Afropop boy band Sauti Sol has threatened to take legal action against the Azimio La Umoja coalition party over alleged copyright infringement. This is after the coalition led by Raila Odinga featured their hit song ‘Extravaganza’ during the unveiling of the outfit’s presidential running mate on Monday at the KICC. During the televised event, Azimio party leader Raila Odinga unveiled his running mate Martha Karua as 'Extravaganza' played in the background, a move the award-winning band says was unauthorized. “The Azimio la Umoja campaign through its flagbearer and presidential candidate, the Right Hon. Former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga's social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) have without license nor authority used one of o...

Luxury fashion house Balenciaga has unveiled a new campaign promoting a series of roughed up sneakers with an eye-watering price tag, and the internet has thoughts.

But the photos of the destroyed sneakers circulating on social media don't exactly tell the whole story. While they have courted the most controversy, the images are actually of exaggerated, limited edition versions of the sneakers that Balenciaga is selling.

TikTok To Launch Ad Revenue-Sharing Program For Creators

TikTok on Wednesday announced an ad revenue-sharing program with the social media platform's most prominent creators, moving closer to a model already used by its competitors.

Under the new TikTok Pulse program, companies can place their ads next to user content in specific categories, including health, fashion, cooking, gaming and others -- and creators will get a cut. "We will begin exploring our first advertising revenue share program with creators, public figures and media publishers," the company, a subsidiary of Chinese tech firm ByteDance, said in a statement. ...
