Trey Songz going to court

Trey Songz Faces Legal Battle Over 'Yuuup!'

R&B crooner Trey Songz is in the midst of a legal battle with reality TV star Dave Hester over the usage of the singer’s “Yuuup” signature catchphrase. 

According to reports, Hester (of the A&E series “Storage Wars”) was served with a “cease and desist” from the singer’s lawyer, ordering him to immediately stop uttering the word during the show. Songz is also requesting that Hester stop selling merchandising that displays the “Yuuup” slogan that Songz has claimed to be his signature sound since 2009. 

In response, Hester has filed suit against the R&B star, arguing that Trey’s usage of the word is very different from the way he says it. According to Hester’s lawsuit, he claims that Songz’ version "resembles an animal-like or non-human squeal which begins with a distinct 'yeeee' sound before finishing with a squeal-like 'uuuup' sound.” 

The court documents continue to explain that Songz’ version is "distinct and different from Hester's more monosyllabic sounding guttural auction bidding phrase ... which is meant to convey the meaning of 'yes.' " In other words, Hester’s use of the phrase is simply his way of saying “yes,” unlike Songz. 

Hester is seeking unspecified damages and a court order preventing Songz from interfering with his usage of the phrase, which Hester claims to have trademarked back in September.

Lupe Fiasco Responds To 50 Cent's Alleged Dis

Speaking out for the first time with his local radio station, Lupe downplayed the rumors and stated that all is well between himself and the G-Unit general.

"That's fine, 50's a good guy," said Lupe. "I got a chance to peform with him and tour with him for a little bit. You know? I don't really look at it as a diss. I just look at it as I got fans in high places I guess. So, [laughs], it's all fine with me. I'm not really tripping ... [Lyrical battles?] I always keep that in the chamber. They know what's up. At the end of the day, they know what's up. We'll just leave it at that. But, that's negativity. We going back to the positive."

Drake and Nicki Minaj

Here is NEW nusic from Drake and Nicki Minaj called "Make Me Proud"

Drake teamed up with Nicki Minaj on his newest track off his upcoming Take Care album. 

About the emotional single, Drizzy told MTV News:

"Whenever I make songs surrounding women, I always try to find refreshing stances to take as opposed to just like, "Oh, you're sexy" or "Oh, I want you." The song, it really came up in passing conversation, just being like, "I'm proud of you." "
"Not even necessarily that a woman has to go achieve grandiose things to be proud; it's just that I'm proud of you for trying. It's hard to be a woman out here these days, especially to be pretty and especially to be smart and want something for yourself. So I'm just proud of you whether it's Nicki or any girl that I've ever known in my life that's doing well for herself."
"It's a dope thing to say, like, 'Go out there and make me proud.' And you don't feel uncomfortable as a man saying it."

However Kim Kardashian  has a net worth of  $35 million, stop hating and step up your game Ray J.

The Wanted Call JLS Lightweights

The Wanted  reckon they've got bags more stamina when it comes to a night on the town.

"JLS say they can drink, but they can't," Max spilled. "Give them four glasses of champagne and all they do is take their tops off and start prancing around having a dance-off.

"It's true, maybe it's an insecurity about how long they will last." And the 'Glad You Came' singers reckon having a bit more meat on their bones is an advantage when it comes to all-night partying.

"JLS are gym bunnies," Tom added. "They have no body fat, there is nothing there."

JLS managed to knock The Wanted from the No. 1 spot on the Vodafone Big Top 40 last weekend with 'She Makes Me Wanna'.

Mr Marley and I have a long and complex history about which MANY inaccuracies have been reported since the beginning. To speculate without the facts can only cause people to form WRONG conclusions. We value privacy and for that reason defend and preserve our right to it. Contrary to numerous reports, Mr Marley did not abandon me while pregnant with his child. We have had long periods of separation over the years but our 5 children together remain a joy to us. Thank you for your concern and I appreciate all of the well wishes regarding the birth of my new son.
