Rick Ross has been struck by the love bug once again. While his previous relationships haven't always ended on the best terms—his ongoing online exchanges with Tia Kemp are proof enough—there seems to be a new chapter unfolding. The internet often sided with Ross over his brief romance with Cristina Mackey, who, back in early March, claimed they had been over for some time and that she was doing well. However, many onlookers were skeptical, suggesting her frequent gym visits were an attempt to attract someone new. Unlike Mackey and Kemp, who have been vocal, Ross has remained notably silent about these past relationships

Charlotte Emma Aitchison, better known as Charli XCX, is an English singer and songwriter born on 2 August 1992 in Cambridge and brought up in Start Hill, Essex. She started her music career in 2008 by sharing her songs on Myspace, which caught the attention of a promoter who then invited her to perform at warehouse raves. In 2010, she secured a recording contract with Asylum Records and subsequently released several singles and mixtapes in 2011 and 2012.
Charli XCX has recently popularised the idea of "brat summer," marked by lime green accessories, messy hair, and a rebellious attitude, with a subtle reference to Kamala Harris. After releasing her sixth studio album in June, this "brat" persona has swiftly emerged as a defining cultural trend of the summer.
So, what exactly does it mean to be a "brat"? In a TikTok interview following her album release, Charli explained the "bratosphere" as being the girl who's a bit chaotic, loves to party, and sometimes says silly things. Despite this, she remains confident, even if she experiences a breakdown, and continues to party through it. Throughout her 16-year career, Charli XCX has explored a range of musical styles, from performing at underground warehouse raves to creating Grammy-nominated pop hits.

"It wasn't until I went on tour for 'Infest' that I believe the alcoholism, the alcoholic lifestyle, it really took over," he said. "That's when it just [went] full-tilt boogie… We wanted to rage, man. We all just wanted to rage, and we had people that co-signed it. I thought I was in the '80s for a couple of years. I was, like, 'Let's go, dude.'"

Las Vegas police have announced that they've arrested Duane Davis in relation to the murder of Tupac Shakur in 1996. "After more than two decades, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Clark County District Attorney’s Office continue to pursue justice for Tupac Shakur and his family,” said District Attorney Steve Wolfson". While Davis is not believed to be the one who pulled the trigger, authorities say he may have provided the weapon and helped plan the attack. This comes after a long, arduous investigation with little progress until now.
In essence, the indictment says that Duane Davis is accused of giving a gun to someone with the goal of harming Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight. It's also alleged that the act was carried out for the purpose of advancing the "South Side Compton Crips," which is a gang.
Keefe D has been arrested in relation to the Tupac Shakur murder case, and his wife's home was searched by police earlier this year. Keefe D has also talked about the case before, saying that he gave his nephew the gun used in the killing. The case is still ongoing.

AMERICAN RAPPER FETTY WAP WAS GIVEN A 6-YEAR PRISON TERM FOR A DRUG-TRAFFICKING PLOT.
Fetty Wap was sentenced to six years in federal prison on May 24, 2023, for his role in a New York-based drug-trafficking enterprise.
Willie Maxwell better known by the stage name Fetty Wap, rocketed to notoriety in May 2015, when his debut single, the melodious but grungy "Trap Queen," peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. The song is about a partner who has your back, even if it means assisting you in cooking and selling narcotics.
Maxwell, the "Trap Queen" rapper, pled guilty in August 2022 to a conspiracy drug charge that had a mandatory minimum sentence of five years. Long Island federal court gave out the sentence.
In 2016, he was nominated for two Grammy Awards.
The rapper, and five other defendants were accused of conspiring to possess and distribute crack cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl totaling more than 220 pounds between June 2019 and June 2020.
Maxwell told U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert, "Me being selfish in my pride put me in this position today." His lawyers said he turned to drug dealing due to financial problems caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.
Maxwell admitted his involvement in a major drug trafficking ring when he entered a guilty plea to the main charge against him, conspiracy to distribute and possess prohibited drugs. The lone cocaine-related plea saved him from a possible life sentence if he had been found guilty of all the crimes he was facing.
According to the prosecution, the plan involved shipping drugs from the West Coast to Long Island, where they were held before being distributed to traffickers on Long Island and in New Jersey, using the U.S. Postal Service and vehicles with secret compartments.
Maxwell's attorneys had hoped for the mandatory five-year prison term, although the prosecution wanted a harsher punishment.

ED SHEERAN SUCCEEDS IN A COPYRIGHT LAWSUIT AGAINST MARVIN GAYE'S SONG THAT IS SIMILAR TO HIS.
The British singer Ed Sheeran won the copyright case for his Grammy-winning single "Thinking Out Loud."
The heirs of Ed Townsend, a co-writer of the 1973 song "Let's Get It On" by the late Marvin Gaye, sued the artist.
The 2016 complaint claimed that Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" and the 1973 soul song shared egregious similarities and other related components.
According to reports, the case for copyright infringement sought $100 million in damages.
However, a Manhattan jury identified on Thursday, May 4, 2023, that Sheeran had independently written his song and had not violated the copyright of Gaye's song.
Sheeran commented on the decision, saying that eight years were spent discussing two songs with radically different words and chords that songwriters all over the world may utilize daily
The 32-year-old pop artist claimed he is incredibly frustrated by the accusation made against him.
"I'm certainly thrilled with how the case turned out. It appears that I won't have to leave my day job after all," he added.
"However, at the same time, I'm incredibly irritated that such flimsy charges could even be brought up in court.
"Being accused of stealing someone else's song is awful. To allow the creative process to continue, we need to revert to common sense and employ reliable people as music specialists.
The musician claimed on Tuesday that he would have to be an idiot to steal Gaye's song and then perform it for tens of thousands of admirers.
He added, "I would be quite an idiot to come on a stage in front of 20,000 people and do that if I had done what you are accusing me of doing.
To demonstrate that the Grammy-winning song was initially recorded by Sheeran, he also performed it while testifying in court.

Sumner Stroh, a 23-year-old Instagram model and influencer, revealed her alleged romance with the pop star on TikTok less than a week after it was revealed that the pair is expecting their third child together. "I was having an affair with a man who's married to Victoria's Secret model," as stated by Summer in a TikTok video.
Three days after Levine's wife announced the couple's third pregnancy, the model made the accusations. She said "At the time I was young, I was naive. And I mean, quite frankly, I feel exploited. I wasn't in the scene like I am now. So, I was definitely very easily manipulated."
"Maroon 5 is practically elevator music at this point. So, I'm sure you know who Adam Levine is. Adam and I were seeing each other for about a year, after I stopped talking to him over a period of months, this is how he came back into my life," she went on.
The model continued by posting a screenshot of an Instagram Direct Message that the musician is said to have sent her after she stopped speaking with him. The screenshot's text stated, "Ok serious question. I’m having another baby and if it’s [a] boy I really wanna name it Sumner. You ok with that? DEAD serious."
Having read his direct message, Sumner claimed she felt "like I have to be in hell at this point. My morals were unknowingly being compromised." She said "she never wanted to come forward," knowing "the implications that come with doing what I do, making money the way I do, and being an Instagram model," and the "stereotypes" related to being an influencer.
Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine have not yet responded to the accusations.

The possible cause of the breakup is not revealed yet, but fans are suspecting that it might have been Bailey that cheated on DDG if they have to go by the rapper's post on social media.

SINGER JACOB HOGGARD FROM CANADA WAS FOUND GUILTY OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.
After being found guilty earlier this year of sexually abusing an Ottawa woman, a court has sentenced musician Jacob Hoggard to five years in jail on Thursday 20th of Oct 2022.
The former lead singer of the pop-rock band Hedley, Jacob Hoggard is a Canadian singer-songwriter and musician. Hoggard participated in Canadian Idol's second season in 2004 before Band Hedley was created; he finished third.
Justice Gillian Roberts of the Ontario Superior Court stated that she believed the woman's testimony in its entirety and claimed that it involved "gratuitous assault" and "gratuitous degradation."
The Ottawa Lady testified during Hoggard's sentence hearing that the 2016 sexual assault, which occurred in a Toronto hotel room, will haunt her for the rest of her life.
The Lady, who was in her early 20s, claimed that Hoggard choked her so severely that she believed she was going to pass away. She claimed the hour-long sexual attack.
Hoggard had also been accused of engaging in sexual interference with the complainant, a teenage fan, and sexual assault resulting in serious physical harm, but he was cleared of both charges.
The 38-year-old musician had entered a not-guilty plea to each accusation. Hoggard testified at trial that he had "passionate," consenting intercourse with both complainants.
He stated spitting and slapping were among his sexual likes and could have occurred, but he denied choking the Ottawa lady.
She testified in court at her sentence hearing earlier this month that the experience left her paralyzed with terror and despair for months.
The victim, whose identity is protected by an usual publishing embargo, claimed that the sexual attack stole her dreams and self-confidence and fundamentally changed her life.

MEMBERS OF THE KOREAN BOY BAND BTS COULD BE DRAFTED INTO THE MILITARY
The public is still bitterly divided on whether or not BTS members should be granted exemptions, and it appears that the South Korean military wants to enlist members of the K-pop ensemble for compulsory military service. In order to preserve fairness in the nation's armed forces, Lee Ki Sik, commissioner of the Military Manpower Administration, told lawmakers on Friday 7th of October 2022 that it is "desirable" for BTS members to complete their military obligations.
At a parliamentary committee hearing earlier this week, Defense Minister Lee Jong-sup made nearly identical remarks concerning BTS, while Culture Minister Park Bo Gyoon stated that his ministry would shortly clarify its stance on the matter. All physically capable men in South Korea are obligated to serve in the military for 18 to 21 months. Athletes, classical and traditional musicians, as well as ballet and other dancers who have taken home top honors in competitions that boost a country's status are also given specific exemptions under the statute.
The government can take action to give specific exemptions without changing the law. However, prior exemptions for competitors who excelled in undesignated competitions sparked a heated discussion about the system's fairness.
The avoidance of military obligations or the granting of exemptions is a very delicate subject because the draft forces young men to put their professional lives or academic pursuits on hold.
The National Assembly has received several conscription law proposals that would allow BTS members to be excused, but none of them have been put to a vote because of the fierce disagreement among politicians on the issue.
Earlier, Lee, the defense minister, claimed he had directed authorities to take into account polling the public before deciding whether to exempt BTS. However, the Defense Ministry then declared that such a study will not be conducted.

ED SHEERAN MUST GO TO TRIAL OVER CLAIMS THAT HE PLAGIARIZED A MARVIN GAYE SONG
A federal judge refused to dismiss the case, ruling that a jury could find that "Thinking Out Loud" infringed on Gaye's iconic "Let's Get It On."
Ed Sheeran is a popular English singer and songwriter, who has conquered the hearts of people all over the globe with his melodic sound.
A federal judge has ruled that Ed Sheeran must stand trial over whether he stole key elements of his song "Thinking Out Loud" from Marvin Gaye's iconic "Let's Get It On," rejecting the British singer-efforts songwriters to dismiss the long-running copyright case.
Ed Sheeran's lawyers argued that the lawsuit, which was filed by an entity that owns a portion of the rights to Gaye's famous 1973 song, was invalid because the combination of simple elements that the singer allegedly stole was not unique enough to be protected by a copyright in the first place.
Judge Louis Stanton, however, ruled on Thursday that there was "no bright-line rule" for resolving these issues and that the pop star would have to present his case before a jury of his peers.
Although a date has not yet been determined, the ruling prepares the ground for a mega-trial in a federal courthouse in Manhattan at some point in the future. Sheeran's lawyer declined to comment on ongoing legal matters.
After being served with the new complaint in 2018, Sheeran's attorneys contended that the chord sequence and harmonic rhythm Sheeran is accused of stealing from Marvin Gaye's song are too prevalent to be the sole property of any one songwriter. They mentioned other songs that contained comparable elements, such as "Since I Lost My Baby" by The Temptations.
Sheeran's accusers agree that those components are "commonplace and unprotectable" by themselves. However, it is claimed that when they were merged to create Gaye's well-known song, they transformed into something more unique and deserving of copyright protection.
Judge Stanton stated in his decision on Thursday that the issue would have to be resolved at trial. He asserted that conflicting experts had been used by both parties to support their respective claims and that only a jury could determine who was correct.
The judge stated: "A work may be copyrightable even when it is wholly a compilation of unprotectable parts. There is no bright-line rule that the combination of two unprotectable elements is insufficiently numerous to produce an original work."

ADAM LEVINE OF MAROON 5 IS ACCUSED OF CHEATING ON HIS EXPECTANT WIFE BEHATI PRINSLOO AND ATTEMPTING TO NAME THEIR THIRD KID AFTER A MISTRESS.
Adam Levine, whose full name is Adam Noah Levine, is an American musician, actor, and television personality who rose to prominence as the lead singer and primary songwriter of Maroon 5 and then widened his audience as a coach on the television singing competition The Voice.
Singer Adam Levine of Maroon 5 has reportedly been charged with infidelity on his wife Behati Prinsloo, who is expecting their third child together. Two girls were born to the couple after their 2014 wedding.
Sumner Stroh, a 23-year-old Instagram model and influencer, revealed her alleged romance with the pop star on TikTok less than a week after it was revealed that the pair is expecting their third child together. "I was having an affair with a man who's married to Victoria's Secret model," as stated by Sumner in a TikTok video.
Three days after Levine's wife announced the couple's third pregnancy, the model made the accusations. She said "At the time I was young, I was naive. And I mean, quite frankly, I feel exploited. I wasn't in the scene like I am now. So, I was definitely very easily manipulated."
"Maroon 5 is practically elevator music at this point. So, I'm sure you know who Adam Levine is. Adam and I were seeing each other for about a year, after I stopped talking to him over a period of months, this is how he came back into my life," she went on.
The model continued by posting a screenshot of an Instagram Direct Message that the musician is said to have sent her after she stopped speaking with him. The screenshot's text stated, "Ok serious question. I’m having another baby and if it’s [a] boy I really wanna name it Sumner. You ok with that? DEAD serious."
Having read his direct message, Sumner claimed she felt "like I have to be in hell at this point. My morals were unknowingly being compromised." She said she "never wanted to come forward," knowing "the implications that come with doing what I do, making money the way I do, and being an Instagram model," and the "stereotypes" related to being an influencer..

Gulsen Colakoglu, a 46-year-old singer and songwriter whose full name Ius Gulsen, was seized from her Istanbul home for interrogation before being formally brought into custody late Thursday,25th August,2022. Following that, she was brought to jail pending trial. The accusations were based on a joke Gulsen made in April during a performance in Istanbul, where she said that one of her musicians' "perversion" resulted from going to a religious school. Recently, a video of the singer making the remark went viral on social media, along with a hashtag demanding her imprisonment. Diva apologized for the offense the joke caused but claimed her comments were used by those looking to further polarize the country. Gulsen previously attracted criticism from Islamic groups for her revealing stage attire and for raising an LGBTQ flag at a concert.
Gulsen denied allegations that she incited animosity and hatred during her interrogation by court officials, according to the state-run Anadolu Agency. She also claimed to have "endless respect for the values and sensitivities of my country."
However, it appeared that Erdogan's Justice and Development party spokesman, also known by the Turkish abbreviation AKP, was in favor of the singer's imprisonment, arguing that "inciting hatred is not an art form."

Relevance of a Nigerian and African Artist for Wakanda Forever's Soundtrack: The mythical African nation of Wakanda, which serves as the basis for the Black Panther film series, holds special emotive and cultural significance for Africans and people of color everywhere.
The Weeknd, SZA, Travis Scott, Future, Khalid, School Boy Q, Jorja Smith, Swalee, and James Blake were among the artists who appeared on the soundtrack album for the first Black Panther movie, which Kendrick Lamar selected.

Tems rose to fam after been featured with Wizkid's "Essence," she earn the BET Award for Best International Act while also appearing on albums by Drake, Future, and, most recently, Beyonce. In America and Europe, black audiences, particularly Gen Z customers, enjoy Tems' music. She's a wonderful fit for an Afro-centric movie because she also has a sizable fan base in Nigeria and Africa.
