KANYE WEST
Sued By using boogie tracks on Donda Album

Kanye West apparently hasn't done himself any favors in uploading his Andre 3000 collaboration "Life Of The Party" on his Stem Player device … the song is now at the center of a lawsuit filed by the record company that owns a famous track by KRS-One’s Boogie Down Productions. The company says it owns the copyright to BDP’s iconic diss track "South Bronx" and claims Ye never got permission to sample the song when he released the "Donda" bonus track on the Stem Player. The suit alleges the sides never came to an agreement and says Ye’s side eventually retracted its offer to license it. However, the suit claims Ye & Co. still heavily advertised the track that used the “South Bronx” sample to promote sales of “Donda” and the Stem Player.

DJ Evolve significant recovery almost 3 years after shooting incident

Evolve sustained serious injuries after the incident that involved Embakasi East MP Babu at B-Club entertainment spot on January 17, 2020, and has not walked on his feet since then.

He spent most of his time in a wheelchair after the unfortunate incident that left him with gunshot wounds and has since withdrawn the case that pitted him and the legislator. In a court ruling on December 14, 2021, Magistrate Bernard Ochoi accepted a withdrawal of the case by DJ Evolve against the legislator and asked them to reconcile as one of the ways to solve cases. Although the agreements and details...
