Jas Prince Loses $4Million Lawsuit Against Cash Money

Sylvester May 12, 2015

A federal court judge presiding over Jas Prince’s lawsuit against Cash Money has dismissed the case, as shown in documents obtained by the Jasmine Brand.

Last year, Jas Prince filed a lawsuit claiming that back in 2007 his company, Young Empire Music Group, originally discovered Drake and would eventually sign him to Aspire Music Group. 

When Cash Money approached them with the desire to sign Drake, Jas Prince agreed, but with the stipulation that 22% of all Drake’s advances, net profits and other advances would be paid to Prince and to his company.

Last Friday (May 8), the judge returned his decision, ruling that the signed deal excluded Jas and his music company, but it did include Aspire. Therefore, the federal court judge agreed to dismiss the lawsuit against Cash Money.

Sylvester April 13, 2015

A key witness in the hit-and-run murder case against Marion “Suge” Knight told a Los Angeles judge on Monday he was reluctant to testify against the one-time rap music mogul, declining even to positively identify him in open court.

On the witness stand at the start of the hearing, Sloan, who described himself as a “non-active gang member,” balked at giving testimony that would incriminate the defendant.

“I will not be used to send Suge Knight to prison,” he said.

Asked by Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Barnes if he could identify Knight as she pointed to him in the courtroom, Sloan said, “That doesn’t look like Mr. Knight.” 

Republicans are trying to ban Food Stamp recipients from buying Steak and Seafood

Sylvester April 4, 2015

 That story fit a longtime conservative suspicion that poor people use food stamps to purchase luxury items. Now, a Republican state lawmaker in Missouri is pushing for legislation that would stop people like Greenslate and severely limit what food stamp recipients can buy. The bill being proposed would ban the purchase with food stamps of “cookies, chips, energy drinks, soft drinks, seafood or steak.”

“The intention of the bill is to get the food stamp program back to it’s original intent, which is nutrition assistance,” said Rick Brattin, the representative who is sponsoring the proposed legislation.
