Chris Brown Says He's Not Gang Affiliated, He's "Cordial" With Gang Members

 

Chris Brown attempts to clear up rumors of his gang connections by denying affiliation, but saying that he's "cordial" with gang members. The past few months have seen Chris Brown throwing up L.A. Bloods gang signs, being barred from Canada, being rumored to be involved in club brawls, and having a performance interrupted by a stabbing -- are these mere coincidences, or do they point to Brown's alleged gang ties? That's what MTV's Sway Calloway wanted to know in a new interview with Breezy, who said i response that he's not affiliated with any gangs, but is "cordial" to members. He further explained this by saying, “When you’re in L.A. and you’re around people, you meet everybody — you meet Crips, you meet Bloods, especially in this industry that I’m in. I’m not in the country world, I’m not in the all-the-way pop world. [When] you’re in hip-hop, all of that meshes." This comes after a TMZ report that Brown's girlfriend, Karreuche Tran, and his mother asked his therapist to warn the singer about the dangers of running with gangs. An additional TMZ article reported that the LAPD reached out to club owners after the aforementioned stabbing, and tried to dissuade them from booking Brown.

DJ Khaled Sues Former Record Label Over Unpaid Royalties
  The rapper alleges he's owed $1 million across four albums released between 2006 and 2010

DJ Khaled, via his DJ Khaled Productions, Inc., has filed a lawsuit against his former record label Entertainment One, also known as eOne, alleging breach of contract, accounting and unjust enrichment. Khaled is accusing eOne of failure to properly account and pay record and mechanical royalties, alleging lost royalties amounting to at least $1 million across four records released between 2006 and 2010. In the initial lawsuit summons, filed in May, Khaled's counsel accuses eOne — and the Koch Entertainment label that it purchased in 2005 and absorbed in 2009 — of failing to accurately account for royalties owed, as well as incorrectly characterizing and reporting the products it sold or licensed, and refusing to permit an audit of their accounting to determine exact losses. Over the time in question, Khaled released four full-length studio albums: 2006's Listennn...the Album, 2007's We the Best, 2008's We Global and 2010's Victory, as well as DJ Khaled / E Class: Live from the 305 in 2009. (The latter of which is in dispute, as eOne claims that album was released under a separate deal with another entity called Poe Boy Music Group, and was not delivered by Khaled or through his contract with the label). Throughout those releases, Khaled collaborated with notables Rick Ross, Pitbull, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Ludacris and a long list of others, achieving Billboard chart dominance and RIAA certified Platinum status for singles "I'm So Hood" from We the Best and "All I Do Is Win" off Victory. However, in a motion filed by eOne on Wednesday, the international music, film and television distribution and publishing company claims it is exempt from the bulk of claims Khaled alleges. Most notably, it states it did in fact release the accounting in question, referencing its contract with Khaled and a clause limiting Khaled's audit rights over the preceding two year period beginning upon delivery of the accounting statement, as well as a clause limiting the right to pursue litigation to one year after that "objection period." Under this clause, the scope of Khaled's suit would be "contractually barred from asserting the claims set forth in the complaint for the periods 2006 through 2010." As well, eOne states that Khaled's claim for failure to pay mechanical royalties is invalid, as those rights were assigned by Khaled to another entity in 2007, when Khaled's publishing royalties were placed under exclusive control by The Knotting Hill Music Group, which subsequently contracted with Universal Music Publishing Group, to whom eOne says it has been reporting to since that time. As well, eOne claims it allowed an audit of its accounting records in April 2014 for the appropriate review period per their contract, but Khaled's accountant did not show up.
