Bow Wow Ordered To Pay P0rn Star $80K

. . , , , , , , ,

Bow Wow is going to need all of his BET’s 106 & Park salary. The YMCMB rappers has been ordered to pay $80K to a French freaky flick star. It’s not what you might think.

TMZ reports.

A-dult film star Celine Tran — known as “Katsuni” — sued Bow Wow back in July 2012, claiming he stole clips of her pole dancing in a music video for a French band called Electronic Conspiracy and then used a ton of the footage in his music video “Drank in My Cup” … sans permission. Bow Wow didn’t even respond to the lawsuit, so a federal judge ordered him to pony up $79,346.07 (damages + attorneys’ fees) … and stop with the footage STAT. Sad part is … for $80k … he never got to see her naked. Check out the videos. They’re fun.

Bow Wow dropped that “Drank In My Cup (Freestyle)” video, his version of Kirko Bangz‘s hit song, back in April 2012. Blame the video director? While “Mr 106 & Parks” debut album as a member of Young Money has yet to materialize, he recently dropped a mixtape titled Greenlight 5 with features from Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, and more, along with production from DJ Mustard, Jahlil Beats and Drumma Boy.

Cash Money Being Sued For $600K Over A Sample In A Bow Wow Song

. . , , , , , , ,

Surprise, surprise; Cash Money Records is being sued. The record label is named in a $600,000 lawsuit over a Bow Wow song that illegally samples a song from 70′s group the Persuaders, allegedly.

TMZ reports:

The septuagenarian behind the lawsuit is Robert Poindexter from the 70s band The Persuaders. Poindexter claims Cash Money sampled his band’s song “Love Gonna Pack Up (and Walk Out)” and illegally lifted the tune in Bow Wow’s 2010 track “Still Ballin.” As for “Love Gonna Pack Up (and Walk Out)” — the song was recorded in 1972 and reached the top of the charts … and Poindexter says neither Cash Money nor Bow Wow ever obtained permission to sample it. 

Reportedly Poindexter reached out to Bow Wow’s people first, only to be sent to Cash Money. However, Cash Money only referred him back to Bow Wow, so now he’s basically suing everybody. Poindexter has already sued Kanye West and 50 Cent for similar circumstances. That said, be weary if you’re a producer and trying to use a Persuaders sample. Also, pay up.

LaTocha Scott: Kandi Owes It To The Fans To Reunite With Xscape

90s R&B fans were super excited to find out Jermaine Dupri was putting together a one night only concert celebrating the 20th anniversary of the launch of So So Def Records. Dupri got most of his former groups to reunite for the special event, except for one–Xscape. Despite three of the original members, including LaTocha Scott, Tiny Harris, and Tamika Scott, Kandi Burruss will not be participating.

Bow Wow recently went in on his former label mate in a post on Facebook claiming Burruss was foul for not wanting to be apart of the So So Def show seeing as though Dupri launched her career. Now Kandi’s former group member, LaTocha Scott, has echoed Bow Wow’s sentiments in an interview with radio DJ Egypt. Scott talked to Egypt about Kandi not wanting to reunite with the group. Scott said: “I think we owe it to the fans, to the people. They put us all here. You know we’re successful and people were calling us because of what the fans allowed us to do and that’s the scene. You know the universe opened up for us in ’93. We were able to sign to So So Def very early on. We worked hard and to be here now, it’s like 20 years later, who can even say that?”

We recently interviewed Jermaine Dupri about the So So Def 20th Anniversary show. While he didn’t say anything about Kandi at all, we reached out to her publicist to see why she wouldn’t be there. According to her publicist, Burruss already had booked herself to appear somewhere else on the day (February 23rd) of the show months before JD or anyone else came to her about the So So def show. Since that contract was legally binding, Kandi had to turn down appearing at the concert.
