From rappers Kanye West and Jay-Z being sued for trademark infringement, to Foxy Brown being summoned for violating her probation and Young Jeezy not to mention, Lil Wayne both bellowing blasphemous statements about rap pioneers Jay-Z and Nas. This week’s rundown proves to be not only informative but a bit tragic also. But enough of the introduction, let’s just get straight to it shall we??

Looks like Mr. Diva, also knows as Kanye West, has stumbled upon a lawsuit with the legendary daredevil veteran 68-year old Evel Knievel. The lawsuit claims that West, along with Roc-A-Fella Records and video director, Chris Milk infringed on Knievel’s trademark-protected name and image by depicting West as a stunt performer named “Evel Kanyevel.” You all may remember in the video, Kanye was dressed in a “V” striped white jumpsuit just like the one Knievel is famous for wearing, attempting to blast off in a rocket – powered vehicle very similar to the Skycycle that Knievel rode in his failed yet famous jump over the Snake River Canyon in 1974. The suit also cites the quarrel that takes place between two

Not only is Kanye preparing to fight a lawsuit. News has it that rap mogul Sean “Jay-Z” Carter is being sued for the use of his hand gesture – the Diamond Cutter – as his own by Wrestler Diamond Dallas Page. The lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles on December 2, 2005, accuses Jay-Z, Roc-a-Fella Records and the Rocawear clothing line of trademark and copyright infringement, as well as “misappropriation” of the hand symbol. Page claims to have started using the hand sign to promote his image in 1996, while working for World Championship Wrestling. He eventually moved on from wrestling to pursue other business ventures, including but not

Guess who’s bizzack?? None other than the Foxy “Ill Na Na” Brown herself! This time it isn’t for any attacks or temper tantrums, she was surprisingly summoned to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday, Dec.11, after being accused to violating her probation stemming from a fight in a nail salon more than two years ago. Brown was sentenced to 3 years probation after pleading guilty to misdemeanor assault charges back in October of this year. Her violation charges came after she was accused of failing to keep appointments with probation officers, appear for anger management

In an unfortunate accident that occurred on Monday, Dec. 11 in Metairie, LA, Tamara Williams, sister of rapper Bryan “Baby” Williams, of Cash Money Records, was killed in a car crash. She was pronounced dead on the scene after a motorist driving in the wrong direction struck her vehicle in a head on collision. The motorist, Jason Williams, was taken to the Charity Trauma Center in Elmwood where he was in critical condition. Tamara, 26, was the youngest of six siblings and is survived by her husband and three sons. Our prayers go out to Baby and his loved ones.

In case you haven’t already heard, Sean Carter part II thinks he’s better than Jay-Z, well at least in his eyes. In the new issue of Complex Magazine which features Cash Money Records president, Lil’ Wayne and Travis Barker, the Louisiana rapper had some blasphemous comments to say about Def Jam’s president. It starts off a little like this, “I don’t like what he’s saying about how he had to come back because hip-hop’s dead and we need him. What the f**k do you mean? If anything it’s reborn, so he’s probably having a problem with that. You left on a good note and all of the artists were saying, ‘yo, this is Jay’s house. He’s the best.’ Now he comes back and still thinks
