Donald Trump threatens to Sue Mac Miller

Posted on January 31, 2013 by Scream •

Looks like Donald Trump is coming after Mac Miller for not getting permission to use his name for the track “Donald Trump”, makes sense. Seems like Trump is just trying to be a prick considering the fact that he isn’t hurting for money and doesn’t need to collect Mac Miller’s dollars for it. Tweets above show that he’s serious about this.

Mac Miller finally settles lawsuit with Lord Finesse

Posted on January 16, 2013 by Scream •

Not sure if you remember this but Mac Miller was sued by Lord Finesse in 2012 for using a sample of his track without permission. Lord Finesse had originally sued Mac Miller for $10 million but they ended up settling outside of court. Mac couldn’t speak on what all went down because of legal terms but here’s what he had to say about the situation…

“I’m actually legally not allowed to say anything about what happened. Other than that it’s been resolved and we didn’t go to [trial]. If that was really a problem, people would be getting sued left and right.”

Lil’ Wayne pushes back “I am Not a Human Being II”

Posted on November 7, 2012 by Scream •

Looks like we’re going to have to wait a bit longer to hear some new music from Lil’ Wayne. His album “I am Not a Human Being II” was supposed to come out December 11th but that date got pushed to some time in 2013. Not sure what the exact date is going to be but he’s been having some health and financial issues after losing a major law suit to Quincy Jones III. These issues could coincide with the album being pushed back or Weezy just needs some more time to give us his best product. Whenever the date is, can’t wait to hear what’s next.

Mac Miller being sued for $10 Million Once Again

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Scream •

Seems like a lot of people are going after Mac Miller these days for sampling their songs without permission. This time we have a man by the name of Patrick Berlinquette aka “Warm Speakers” suing Mac for sampling his music on the song “The World Around You” which was on Macadellic.

In the complaint, Berlinquette says “[Miller] uses other people’s music because it’s easier, cheaper, and faster than creating his own.” Adding: “Miller seeks to capitalize on the common misconception in Copyright Law that people whose music he takes have no remedy if he gives their music away for free.”

We’ll see how this one plays out since the only real case is that he may have used the song to gain fame since the mixtape was put out for free. Hopefully Mac doesn’t get sued out of his career as he’s already facing another $10 million lawsuit.

Mac Miller being sued for $10 Million by Lord Finesse

Posted on July 10, 2012 by Scream •

Looks like these new rappers using old beats is finally catching up to a lot of them, especially Mac Miller. Mac released the song “Kool Aid and Frozen Pizza” for free which is originally a Lord Finesse song called “Hip 2 Da Game”. Lord Finesse is not suing Mac Miller for making money off the song, but for it helping develop his rap career. He is also suing Mac Miller because he didn’t stop releasing the song after a cease and desist order was filed. The lawsuit is for $10 Million and it sounds like things are getting pretty serious.

“Rick Ross” Name Lawsuit Thrown Out

Posted on March 29, 2012 by Scream •

As you may remember from a while ago, the “Real Rick Ross” tried suing rapper Rick Ross for the use of his name. Worry no more Rozay because that case has been thrown out according to TMZ. The man going after his name was a big time dealer of that white girl so I doubt the judge really wanted to work on this case. For more information click here.

DJ Pauly D getting Sued for Trademark Infringement

Posted on July 1, 2011 by Scream •

Uh oh, looks like Pauly D might be in a bit of legal trouble because of his DJ name. There’s another DJ out there named DJ Paulie from Connecticut accusing Pauly D for stealing his name. He decided to sue him for trademark infringement since their names are so similar. We’ll see how this one turns out, usually these cases never work since Pauly D is so famous already and it’s hard to trace if he actually “stole” the name.
