openly expressed displeasure after student protestors dis- rupted his father’s rally in Chicago to the chagrin of Chi- Town native John Legend.
Trump, Jr. claimed that the students were unable to ar- ticulate why they successfully shut down the elder Donald’s rally. Legend responded: ‘I think they were protesting your racist father. This isn’t complicated.’ Protesters caused the Trump rally to be cancelled at the Univ. Of Chicago.
Many Trump’s rallies have ended in violence and protest- ers ejected. Just last month,
Deal With
For those who didn’t know, Tuesday (March 8) was #In- ternational Womens Day and Nino Brown Day. That’s right, in celebration of the classic “Blackbuster,” New Jack City turning 25, Wesley Snipes dubbed the day Nino Brown Day in honor of his lead character.
The classic film of 1991 chronicled the drug and vio- lence epidemic in America through the perspectives of Ice T and the police depart- ment trying to catch those criminals and Snipes, the kingpin who terrorized the streets.
Their rivalry also featured memorable performances from Chris Rock (who played Pookie) and Allen

50 CENT
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson
was called back to bankruptcy court this week after the Queens rapper posted pictures of money to his Instagram page. Some of 50’s creditors were concerned the Hip Hop mogul was not reporting all of his income, but those issues ap- pear to be settled.
According to the Hartford Currant, 50 Cent’s lawyers reached deals with the creditors that hold around 95% of his debts. If the agreement is ap- proved by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Ann Nevins, all of the en- tertainer’s secured creditors will be paid in full. Unsecured creditors will be paid between 74% and 92% of what they are owed over five years. The faster 50 makes his payments, the lower total amount he will have to pay.
The Power executive was forthcoming with the courts ad- mitting the money was fake and a lot of his luxury cars were rented.
Yet despite reaching an agreement with creditors, which will allow him to pay back only 3/4 of his debt, the Queens native took to Insta- gram early Friday morning (March 11) to post several pho- tos ranting about being treated differently in the courts due to his celebrity status. All of 50’s ranting led up to his final post, which indicated he will no longer run his own Instagram account in hopes to reduce his own legal woes and in essence, stay out of trouble.
After his announcement, comments ranged from “I’ll miss you” to many asking if they could have the job of man- aging his social media. If Mr. Jackson is staying off Insta- gram to reduce his legal prob- lems, smart move, but if we know Fif, this may not last too long.
The Weeknd Teases New Project
If you’re interested in see- ing Will Smith’s next feature film Bright, you’re going to have to steal (ahem) “borrow” your cousin’s Netflix pass- word.
According to Variety, the streaming titan is just one step closer to acquiring the film which will star the Concus- sion actor and be directed by David Ayer. While details on the script are scarce, reports indicate there were lengthy ne- gotiations. Details on the film’s plot have also been kept under wraps, but sources close to the project say Bright is set in a world where orcs and fairies live among humans and the

film isn’t present day. While there isn’t any date set in stone to begin filming, the hope is to start this year as to begin shooting the sequel for Suicide Squad in 2017.
Even after winning a couple of Grammys and dropping an album that still has some tracks on radio play, The Weeknd is still making tunes in the studio. Earlier Saturday, the XO singer tweeted that he will be releasing a new project soon. According to Com- plex, The Weeknd has a his- tory of teasing his projects through “chapters.” With al- ready three chapters out (Tril- ogy, Kissland, and Beatuty Behind the Madness), the next chapter of the singer’s

Jas Prince Sues Cash Money Again For Unpaid Royalties
BIRDMAN AND JAS PRINCE
Netflix To Debut ‘Organized Noize’ Documentary
Rico Wade, Ray Murray and Sleepy Brown aka Organized Noize.
The fight for alleged unpaid royalties continues as Jas Prince has filed a new lawsuit over unpaid royalties.
Jas Prince has filed a suit against Aspire, a company he co-founded and left. Prince maintains that he brought Drake to Cash Money and that he would keep receiving royal- ties even though he left the company. The Jas, who is the son of J. Prince, would get a portion of royalties from Cash Money subsidiary Young
Money Entertainment through Aspire. Then, Aspire would pay Prince his portion from there.
In a new suit, Prince claims Cash Money has not paid As- pire as it agreed to do and that his former partner Derrick Lawrence has not made ef- forts to collect the monies ei- ther.
Last year, the parties settled on an agreement. Prince was originally asking for $11 mil- lion.
“No Samples. All Music. Re- ally Played.” That’s that tagline that reads for the new Organ- ized Noize documentary by Quincy Jones III aka QD3.
In collaboration with Or- lando McGhee’s Seventy 2 Music along with the City of At- lanta, The Art Of Organized Noize is a documentary that details the rise of the iconic production team consist- ing of Rico Wade, Ray Mur- ray, and Sleepy Brown.
Known in part for their role in the hit song “Waterfalls” by TLC and for their ability to rec- ognize the talent of a teen-aged group Outkast, Organized Noize is responsible for some of the biggest hits in the history of Hip-Hop and R&B.
Executive produced by Or- ganized Noize, Flavor Unit’s Queen Latifah and Shakim Compere, the film is set for release via Netflix on March 22nd.
Fans of the legendary pro- duction crew will also remem- ber they had a hand in the Goodie Mob which ignited CeeLo Green’s solo ca- reer. They were also instru- mental (pun intended) in the development of music and film star Ludacris.
To date the trio continues to work on new music and is cur- rently in the studio with Out- kast’s Big Boi. They have also recently worked with J. Cole and Dom Kennedy and were instrumental in the launch of Future’s career.
