Lawsuits Abound, Chance and Kanye are Collaborating

Kanye West and Chance the Rapper are working together on a new album, a collaborative effort that will contain at least 7 tracks if not more. As though that news wasn’t good enough, Chance has also revealed that he is working in another music marriage, a music collaboration between he and Childish Gambino.

It seems all musicians do is make their lawyers money, but now we hear 50 Cent is taking legal action against HipHop DX over the use of an unauthorized picture. The photo showing 50 Cent with Bellator executives, taken by photographer Christopher Conrad, would become the property of 50 Cent, and nobody else.

In more legal news, Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine were told by a Los Angeles jury this week that they had to pay $25 million in damages and monies owed to designer Steven Lamar for the design done on three models of Beats headphones.
