Future’s ‘DS2′ Has Over 25 Million Streams

The first week sales for Future’s DS2 were good enough to put him in the #1 spot on the Billboard charts. 

During that week, Spotify had 14 million streams of the album, which counted in his Billboard album sales. Now, Apple Music has decided to unveil some interesting numbers for Future’s third album.Image result for future

In its opening week, DS2 was streamed over 11 million times on the platform, which brings the total to over 25 million. Those Apple Music streams don’t count on the Billboard charts yet. Neither do the millions of steams on Future’s YouTube page.
Without a doubt, this has been the most successful project of Future’s career.

Jordan Brand Loses Trademark Lawsuit

Qiaodan Sports Co., a Beijing-based company that makes

 ridiculous Jordan Brand 

knock-offs, just picked up the 

'W' against Michael Jordan 

and his brand. 


His Airness filed a trademark lawsuit against the company for using a name and logo that resembles the iconic Jumpman that is used on Jordan Brand and Nike products, but the Chinese court system ruled against him. 
"'Jordan' is not the only possible reference for 'Qiaodan' in the trademark under dispute," the court stated in the verdict. "In addition, 'Jordan' is a common surname used by Americans."
According to the ruling, because the logo being used doesn't include any facial features, there wasn't enough evidence to prove that the company was stealing Jordan's likeness- thus, there was no basis for the trademark lawsuit.

Tyga Says Eviction Lawsuit Is Fraudulent

Image result for tygaTyga calls BS on his landlord's eviction lawsuit.


Tyga's landlord recently filed a lawsuit and threatened eviction if he doesn't pay two months of back rent for his Calabasas, CA mansion. But Tyga is saying he is not a renter, but an owner of the house in question.
Tyga claims he made a $200,000 down payment on the home a year ago and was given permission to move in during escrow, reports TMZ. He said that the landlord never provided his bank with the requisite info needed for the loan to process, thus the escrow period didn't end when it was supposed to.
"We evidently live in a world where a man's word is no longer your bond," said Lee Hutton, Tyga's attorney.

Lil Kim has filed a domestic lawsuit against Bronx rapper Mr. Papers, her ex-boyfriend and the father of her 13-month daughter Royal Reign.
Kim, and Mr. Papers, whose real name is Jeremy Neil, are in the midst of fierce custodial battle. According to Bossip, Kim hasn't allowed Neil to see their daughter since the couple split 11 months ago. He filed for visitation rights last month, and the judge granted his one-day-a-week request under the condition that a court-approved monitor be present for all visits with his daughter.
Kim filed the lawsuit after failing to attend a July 9 hearing. Neil denies having laid a hand on her.
“She’s playing really dirty now with the domestic situation,” said Tasha Hilton, Neil's publicist. “There has never been any domestic violence.... he’s not trying to take custody, he’s not trying to take her. He is literally just trying to see her. He’s been trying to do it very quietly.”
