Dame Dash On Curren$y Lawsuit

Tuesday, March 27 2012 4:11 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True Story


Dame Dash has finally responded to the lawsuit filed by Curren$y, in which the rapper claims the mogul has released his music without his consent. Dame’s lawyer, Joshua E. Seidman spoke on his behalf:

“My client’s initial reaction to the lawsuit was that of surprise, particularly in light of Curren$y’s numerous statements that the ‘Muscle Car Chronicles’ would be released by BluRoc. On March 15, 2012, the plaintiffs appeared in Federal Court to argue for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin my client from the continued distribution of the ‘Muscle Car Chronicles’.

The plaintiffs’ application was denied in open Court by Federal Judge Andrew Carter and the album was permitted to remain available through iTunes and other retailers.While the situation remains ongoing, we are hopeful that an amicable resolution can be reached.

My client wishes Curren$y the best in all of his future career endeavors. However, he has expressed a deep concern with respect to the manner in which the artist’s attorney and manager have conducted themselves. He sincerely hopes that Curren$y is not being misled or pressured into making unwise decisions, such as the filing of what appears to be a potentially frivolous litigation.”

Michael K. Williams To Portray ODB

Friday, March 23 2012 2:23 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Omar’s back! Known for his role in The Wire, actor Michael Kenneth Williams has been tapped to play the role of the late Dirt McGirt in the upcoming biopic, Dirty White Boy. EW reports:

The movie is based on the final years of ODB’s life — a true story that is nonetheless stranger than fiction. Titled Dirty White Boy, the film focuses on the offbeat friendship between the Wu-Tang Clan co-founder and Jarred Weisfeld, a 22-year-old VH1 production assistant who through a lot of hustle (and the occasional lie) talked his way into becoming the rapper’s manager when Jones was serving a three-year stint in prison in the early 2000s.
