Kanye West is suing Walmart for selling a knockoff version of his foam shoe.
In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, West's company Yeezy claims that Walmart sold an "unauthorized exact copy" of its popular Yeezy Foam Runner, leaving customers confused about whether they were buying the real thing or an imitation.




Yeezy alleges that Walmart has been selling the look-alike in order to cash in on the popularity of Kanye and the Foam Runner, which went on sale in June 2020 for $75.

The knockoff version, which is made by a company called Daeful, is still being sold on Walmart.com for under $25. Yeezy claims Walmart could be costing it hundreds of millions of dollars in sales by selling the ripoff shoe.
Kanye's team has reportedly sent a legal notice to Walmart demanding that they pull the shoe from its site, but the retailer has failed to do so. Yeezy is suing for major damages.
This is the latest legal dispute involving Yeezy and Walmart. In April, the retail giant challenged a trademark filing for the Yeezy LLC logo, saying it looks too similar to Walmart's 13-year-old sun logo. Walmart is trying to have it blocked on the grounds that it will create a "false suggestion of a connection" between the two brands.

Rap-Up Hip-Hop and R&B Music, News, Photos, Interviews, & Videos Swizz Beatz Reveals Why Pop Smoke Was Not Featured on DMX's Album https://www.rap-up.com/2021/05/28/swizz-beatz-pop-smoke-not-featured-dmx-exodus/ May 28th 2021, 19:17 DMX's posthumous album Exodus was released Friday featuring Alicia Keys, JAY-Z, Bono, and more. One guest who was noticeably absent was Pop Smoke, leaving fans to wonder what happened to his previously-announced feature. During an interview with the "Drink Champs" podcast earlier this year, X teased the collaboration with the late Brooklyn rapper, who was initially set to appear on "Money Money Money." However, Pop's verse didn't end up on the album for unknown reasons. Now Swizz reveals that it was cut because Pop's team gave his verse to someone else. "They used the verse already. I know X wouldn't want an old verse," Swizz said during an album listening for media. ...

SOUNDCLOUD REMOVED MY TRACK: WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?

Image
Pretty much every upcoming  songwriter  in the world is on SoundCloud. And sometimes, your track will get removed without warning. In this article, I'll explain what you can do about it. SOUNDCLOUD IS IMPORTANT FOR MUSICIANS, BUT WHY DO THEY REMOVE YOUR TRACKS WITHOUT WARNING? There's no doubt that SoundCloud has become one of the best platforms for sharing your music and allowing fans to connect and engage with your tracks. Tom Leo, founder of  YouKnowIGotSoul.com  says that he seriously questions any music submission that is not accompanied by a SoundCloud link. I agree that SoundCloud has grown to be a trustworthy brand, and artists who host their music on SoundCloud appear to be more credible than artists who just send MP3 attachments in their email submissions. (Seriously, don't do that!) We know how much work goes into the creative process. Just think of all those countless studio sessions where night turns into morning, and you have to go to work straight from the st...

After going back and forth last year, the two are leaving the beef in the past. Their so-called feud started last July when Snoop omitted Em from his top 10 favorite rappers list, telling "The Breakfast Club" that he could "live without" the Detroit rapper's music. Em clapped back at Snoop for "doggin'" him on his Music to Be Murdered By: Side B cut "Zeus," prompting Snoop to respond, "Pray I don't answer that soft ass shit." But weeks later, Snoop revealed that the two were back on "good" terms, and now Eminem is addressing the status of their friendship. On the remix to "Killer" with Jack Harlow a...
