Drake continues to find a lot of backlash and controversy in his path following his federal defamation lawsuit against his distributor Universal Music Group for releasing Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" diss track. With each passing day, the reactions extend beyond hardcore hip-hop fans and into more traditional publications and emerging media leaders, especially when it comes to more big-picture analysis. For example, a recent article from The Guardian posits the lack of successful precedent for a case like this, and also brings up the hypocrisy of Aubrey Graham using lyrics in court after his support of Young Thug, who faced similar scrutiny.
For one, this article from The Guardian points out one highly relevant defamation case in rap music that suggests Drake will have a very difficult time finding what he wants. This is the legal filing from Debbie Mathers against her son Eminem back in 1999, for which she sought $11 million for his lines about her drug use on The Slim Shady EP. The court only awarded her $25,000, which reportedly turned to $1,600 after legal and lawyer fees.
With this context in mind – plus other defamation cases orbiting around the culture – it's clear that defamation cases are incredibly tough to win for celebrities in such an expansive public eye. For Drake, who remains one of the biggest superstars in the music industry, it will clearly be an uphill battle, which is why people have their own theories as to why he launched this lawsuit. Perhaps this all only relates to his contract negotiations with UMG as a point of leverage, but even the most casual hip-hop listeners seem to believe that this will impact his reputation for the rest of his career.
Of course, a key point to emphasize is the cultural, historical, and artistic relevance of diss tracks and rap battles throughout hip-hop's 50-year-plus history, even if the specific starting point is up for debate. Although it seems very unlikely that Drake will prevail – and we're not here to minimize the negative events he faced in the wake of the beef – the media world understands how dangerous this could be as a tool for artists, labels, and litigators to suppress artistic expression.

Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes put together an excellent college football campaign in 2024, finishing 9-3.
Colorado finished its season with a 52-0 blowout of Oklahoma State in Boulder.
The program learned its bowl game destination on Sunday afternoon. The No. 23 Buffaloes are heading to San Antonio for an Alamo Bowl matchup against the No. 17 BYU Cougars on Saturday, Dec. 28.
"The 2024 #ValeroAlamoBowl is set! #17 @BYUfootball vs #23 @CUBuffsFootball," the bowl game wrote in a post on X.
Colorado football responded to this announcement with a four-word message.
"Let’s bring it home," the team wrote.
As spotted on TMZ, the tech entrepreneur recently spoke to Chris Cuomo on CUOMO. While he discussed a variety of topics, it was his response to partying with Diddy that was the highlight of the interview. When asked if he was witness to any of the alleged “freak offs,” he made it clear he did not. “We’ve never seen the stuff that’s being said and the stuff that people are finding out, like, I’ve never been in rooms that people are talking about, and I never knew they existed” he explained.
The “Wait A Minute” singer also went on to add that entertainers and high-profile celebrities should learn from this moment. “We’ve all been around him, at least in my era, and have looked up to him,” Ray J said. “And this situation is super unfortunate, but it’s important to learn a lesson right right now and ensure the next generation understands how to move differently with transparency and integrity,” he continued. In closing, Ray J shared that artists of the previous generation need to be “accountable” and said, “I don’t think this is a time to tear anybody down.”
Ice Spice will no longer have to worry about where her mood came from, as she’s settled a lawsuit filed against her earlier this year over her track “In Ha Mood.”
On Friday (September 20), attorneys for both Ice and the Brooklyn rapper who filed the suit, Duval “D.Chamberz” Chamerlain, filed a stipulation of voluntary dismissal. The case was dismissed with prejudice, which means that it can’t be brought again.
No details of any agreement between the parties were revealed, and neither side replied to a request for details from Billboard.
The suit was filed in January of this year. D.Chamberz claimed that Spice copied the beat, lyrics, hook, rhyme structure, metrical placement and narrative of his January 2022 track “In That Mood” for her “In Ha Mood.”
He claimed that he made the song an entire year before the Bronx rap star released “In Ha Mood,” which came out in January 2023 and appears on her debut EP Like..?
Chamberz (real name Duval Chamberlain) said in the suit that Ice Spice and her producer RiotUSA could have heard his version of the song as he worked as a DJ in New York and that “In That Mood” also received radio play in the city.
He asked for “no less than fifty percent (50%) of the publishing and other revenues derived from” the track.
50 Cent is relentless.
In Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones' lawsuit against Diddy, he alleged that the mogul had a sexual relationship with a "Philadelphia Rapper who dated Nicki Minaj." Unsurprisingly, social media users were quick to jump to conclusions and speculate that the rapper was Meek Mill. He's been getting clowned online over the alleged fling ever since, despite denying it.
Earlier this week, Meek took to Twitter/X with a proposal for whatever investigators might be able to reveal why his name keeps getting roped in with Diddy's. “I wanna hire an investigative team 100k cash to find out every specific detail involving meek mill name to ‘Diddy’ Case,” he wrote. “I also want them to look at who is powering the media involving ‘meek’ anything to do with buddy! ‘Something not right.’”
He continued, questioning whether or not there's some sort of conspiracy at play. "The streets know wassup with me thats not the case,” he explained. “We talking about business side ,somebody powering these bad campaigns [shrug emoji] with ‘meeek mill’ again I got 100k for a thorough investigation of who’s powering and how exactly my name connect to this…” Unfortunately, Meek's posts resulted in even more online trolling. 50 Cent, for example, took to social media last night with a bizarre deepfake.
"They been doing meek dirty, he want to pay 100k to find out who doing this. LOL http://gunitbrands.com," he captioned the clip alongside a laughing emoji. What do you think of Meek Mill offering $100K to whoever's willing to investigate what's tying his name to Diddy's? Do you blame him for wanting to get to the bottom of things? What about 50 Cent's reaction to his proposal?
Martin Bakole is a 6’6” giant who hits with the power of a wrecking ball and precision of a surgeon who specializes in separating conjoined twins. He’s complained to anyone who’d listen that he’s the most avoided heavyweight in boxing. After what he did to Jared “The Real Big Baby” Anderson in Los Angeles, a lot of big names might start avoiding him for real.
Anderson was supposed to be the next big thing in American heavyweights. He was undefeated with 15 knockouts in 17 fights. The kid from Toledo had fast hands and knockout power. He trained with the great SugarHill Steward. Half-smart boxing people were already talking about him facing champions like Tyson Fury someday.
But Bakole had other ideas. He came into the ring looking like a mountain at 285 pounds, though this was svelte compared to past weigh-ins. Anderson weighed 252, the heaviest of his career, but he still looked tiny next to the man from Congo.
From the opening bell, you could see the difference. Anderson tried to keep his distance, popping precise jabs and quick combinations. But Bakole just walked through them like they were raindrops. He didn’t even blink when Anderson landed clean shots.
Late in the first round, Bakole showed what real heavyweight power looks like. He caught Anderson with a right uppercut that snapped his head back, nearly separating it from his neck. Then he unloaded a series of hooks that had Anderson stumbling into the ropes. It was the first time Anderson had ever been knocked down as a pro. The look on his face said he’d just been hit by something he’d never felt before.
Anderson tried to box smart in the second round. But Bakole kept coming forward, cutting off the ring. His uppercuts were finding a home. His hooks were thudding into Anderson’s body and head. The American’s fast, gym-honed combinations weren’t having any effect. It was like watching a man try to chop down a redwood with a pocket knife.
By the third round, Anderson was in survival mode. Bakole’s heavy jab kept pushing him back. When Anderson tried to stand his ground and trade, Bakole’s punches were heavier, louder. You could almost feel them through the TV screen. Anderson was game, but he was getting beaten up.
The fourth round saw Anderson switch to an orthodox stance, trying to find an answer. But there was no solving the Bakole puzzle. The big man from Congo kept landing punishing shots. Anderson couldn’t get away from the ropes. He was taking a beating.
The end came in the fifth. Bakole landed a left hook on Anderson’s jaw that dropped him hard. The American got up, but his legs were gone. Bakole didn’t waste time. A straight right hand put Anderson down again. When the referee let it continue, Bakole swarmed all over him. The ref had seen enough and waved it off.
Just like that, the Jared Anderson hype train came to a crashing halt. And Martin Bakole announced himself as a real player in the heavyweight division.
EA Sports College Football 25 will be released around the world on July 19, 2024. On July 16, 2024 — however — 3-day early access is available through the Deluxe Edition. The game can still be preordered from now until July 18, 2024.
EA Sports College Football 25 will be released on the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X and S.
The last college football video game that EA (Electronic Arts) released was NCAA Football 14. That game was released just before the 2013 college football season.
EA Sports was forced to discontinue college football video games due to the Keller vs. Electronic Arts Inc. (2013) case leading to the court's ruling that players' likenesses could not be used in the games if the athletes were not being compensated. The courts ruled that doing this violated the rights of all the players used in the games.
The NCAA v. Alston case, however, led to the Supreme Court ruling in favor of player compensation. Therefore now, players can be paid for their name, image and likeness. As a result, the games can be continued.
The cover athletes for EA Sports College Football 25 are Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers and Michigan running back Donovan Edwards.
Diddy has entered rarified air. The music mogul has been accused of so many horrific crimes that each seems more plausible than the last. Diddy has obviously displayed violent tendencies, as evidenced by the infamous Cassie video. That being said, the latest accusations made against him remain startling. Danyel Smith, the former editor of Vibe Magazine, wrote an essay detailing her experience with Diddy during a 1997 photo shoot. She alleged, among other things, that Diddy threatened to have her killed.
Smith's essay was published July 12th in the New York Times Magazine. She recalled profiling Diddy for the cover story of the December 1997/January 1998 issue of Vibe, given her superstar status at the time. Diddy, however, turned the process into a nightmare. He demanded to see the front cover photo of the issue, which went against Vibe's policy. When Danyel Smith explained the policy, the Bad Boy founder turned to intimidation. He reportedly showed up at Smith's office with his entourage. Smith was led to safety by security before a confrontation could take place.
Unfortunately, Diddy was not deterred. He allegedly called Danyel Smith the next day that if Smith did not give him an advance copy of the magazine, she would be dead. Smith recalls, specifically, being told that she would end up "dead in the trunk of a car" if she didn't do as she was told. The editor demanded an apology, to which the Bad Boy star responded "f*ck you." Soon after, the servers were stolen from the Vibe office. Danyel Smith believes that Diddy's entourage were behind the server theft, but there was no evidence to link them. Fortunately, a backup copy of the issue was stored, and it was published as originally planned.
Diddy already had a history of strong-arming journalists by 1997. He'd been found guilty of threatening a New York Post photographer with a gun the year before. Danyel Smith was aware of the risks of a cover story, but he was so big at the time that the risk was deemed worthy. "[We] had to have him on the cover," Smith recalled. Diddy's representatives told New York Times Magazine that he would not comment on the former editor's allegations
Joe Budden says that Drake, who he'd been in contact with for the last several months, ghosted him following the conclusion of his beef with Kendrick Lamar. Budden voiced his frustration with the move during the latest episode of his podcast over the weekend. “You know the funniest thing about this?” Budden previously said while speaking with DJ Akademiks. “I’ve been talking to this n***a throughout the whole beef."
On the new episode, he remarked: "That n***a ain’t speak to me since that battle ended. He ain’t hit me at all since that battle ended and I don’t like it. I don’t like that. You should keep the same energy.” When a fan shared the two clips on X (formerly Twitter), fans complained about the focus on Drake. "Day 19 of talking about Drake the majority of the show," one user wrote. Another asked: "Yo why are him and Elliot so obsessed lol?"
The feud has been a dominant topic in hip-hop in recent months. Budden previously picked Lamar as the winner of the beef during a separate episode of his show. “I think [Kendrick] won this off skill. He was much better than Drake the whole way,” he said. “If I’m battling you, I need to have my options ready for all the variables; Drake didn’t. And if you feel that way, then when I was telling you to stop saying that I’m outside looking for the n***a that saying he been outside. All that sh*t he was feeding to [Akademiks], talking about, ‘Oh, it’s been 10 years.’ Nah, nah, nah — you follow it through. Don’t sound like a n***a that’s trying to fight a losing battle!”

New York revealed a "Century Red" throwback uniform, that will be worn for select home games in 2024.
The "Century Red" uniform will be worn up to two games in 2024. The jersey is divided by a thick blue stripe underneath white numbers and tan pants paired with red and blue striped socks. The jersey dates back to 1933, when the Giants made the first NFL Championship Game, while the pants date back to 1925 when the Giants were purchased by Tim Mara for $500.
New York will wear the winged helmet used from 1937 to 1947, including the Giants' 1938 championship season. The uniform will have the "100 seasons" commemorative patch.
What makes the "Century Red" uniforms interesting is how they debuted a year after the Giants introduced a popular throwback jersey from the 1980s-1990s. The Giants wore the "Legacy Blue" uniform, worn from 1980-1999, twice in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. New York wore the white "Color Rush" throwbacks since the 2016 season, wearing the uniform at least once per season.
New York changed its "Color Rush" uniform in 2023, thanks to the lifting of the "one-shell rule," wearing the throwback dark blue helmet (worn with the "Legacy Blue" jerseys) with the uniform.
